19. The Burning Istel (V)

Dada......

Dozens of general-purpose machine guns and 7-barreled 30mm rapid-fire guns poured bullets at the highest rate of fire, similar to the sound of a ripping machine, armor-piercing bullets, tracer bullets, white phosphorus incendiary bombs, and machine gun shells built a dense iron curtain of projectiles, blocking any possibility of escape for the target.

I don't know if I have despaired of this situation, or if I have no time to react at all, the black-haired boy dressed in black just stands in the center of the staggered trajectory of thousands of bullets, his bright red eyes staring indifferently ahead, and his whole body is defenseless.

In this case, there is no point in wearing even a full set of personal protective equipment.

Even the best body armor can be killed or injured by a few 7.92mm machine gun bullets at a distance of less than 10 meters, not to mention 30mm tungsten alloy armor-piercing bullets and more terrifying white phosphorus shells. In the face of these horrific bullets, body armor not only does not have any protective effect, but will delay the time of death, and make the victims endure more pain and horror.

Did he understand this and remain motionless in order to find peaceful liberation?

The answer is no.

The instinct for survival, the intention to commit suicide, the pre-death marquee -- these concepts have nothing to do with him, and he is silent in the accelerated world of quantum nerves, the span of a femtosecond is stretched to be no different from a second, the various sensors, the perceptual abilities are expanded and sharpened to the terrifying Cheng dù, and in the scenery perceived throughout the week, the types of bullets, the vortex of air currents rolled up by the bullets, the shape of the muzzle flame, the heat wrapped around the shells, and even the rifling marks engraved on the body of the bullets - all the information is mastered without omission.

Then, he made a move.

Moment. Six streams of silver fluid stretched from behind, their tips turning into blades thinner than a human hair, and then dancing.

In a second, thousands of silver flashes bloomed in the air, and the scene outlined by countless arcs of light actually resembled a blooming silver flower, revealing all its beauty in a second, and disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Boom -

The dance, which was faster than the bullet's sound, set off a hurricane called "Shockwave", leaving furrows like beast claw marks on the thick armor, and the enclosed space built with the battleship's main armor trembled violently, and it took a few seconds before it gradually settled.

The disasters like earthquakes and typhoons have subsided. The aftermath of the machine gun still echoed. The bullet casings hit the ground with a pleasant sound, and an eerie sound sounded in the room.

Shalala――

Silver, yellow metallic sand fell from the air, and the scattered iron sand covered the white phosphorus bombs that landed first, if you looked closely at the bullets. You will find that each projectile has a porous hole on it. Its position is exactly where the fuse is located.

Accurate cognition and control of nanorobotic insects. Repeated flow and solidification make it an incomparably sharp and strong blade, and low-frequency vibrations destroy the molecular combination of armor-piercing and machine-gun shells. Turning it into iron sand, and at the same time accurately penetrating the white phosphorus detonator mixed in it - this is Li Lin's "blade wings", even in his world, such a high level of operation technology is only a "theoretically possible" process, Li Lin at the moment to use it freely, has far exceeded the level of the original design concept.

In the face of this proud achievement, Li Lin's expression did not change in the slightest, and he made a flat conclusion.

"It doesn't seem like there's any regression. ”

If you have been fighting against opponents who are not as good as you, you will inevitably fall into the dilemma of standing still and even regressing, and Li Lin, who is too strong, is more likely to face this kind of problem than ordinary strong people. Therefore, it is necessary to do this exercise from time to time. Besides, he didn't feel that he had done anything great enough to be praised. It's just a correct analysis of the incoming bombs, ballistics, and the deviations caused by mutual interference, and then like manipulating the cells of the whole body, sending pulse signals to the nanorobotic insects, and using the most optimized form to launch active defense, it is really a normal warm-up exercise. Besides-

The finger was slowly raised, pressed on the left cheek, a little bit like the left ear, moved 4 or 5 centimeters, and then stopped.

This position, where there was once a scar, is proof of a defeat.

In terms of the outcome of the battle, he was the final victor in that battle, and without any trickery, he knocked the opponent to the ground with an absolute advantage in strength. But even more perfect than now, the defense of the 10-million-ton nuclear bomb that could not be shaken by the zero explosion was broken through by a physical human, leaving scars on his body - this was completely beyond his knowledge, enough to be regarded as a failure.

No way;

No reason;

Doesn't make sense;

There was no real sense of defeat and humiliation, and in an instant, the thinking circuit fell into chaos, and Li Lin fell into the so-called "confusion" for the first time, he should be omniscient and omnipotent, and he had no interest in anything, and for the first time, he "wanted to know something". Then, very naturally, he asked the man he had hit.

――Why?

The man didn't tell him the answer, and after leaving inexplicable words, he swallowed his last breath.

- You are so pathetic.

The dying man said so.

What is that?

If the object is a human being, others will show sympathy and pity due to poor living conditions or mental and psychological problems. In this situation, the attitude of "pity" is valid.

After all, one day it was all over - the mission that had been given to it was completed, and there was no longer a time when there was no more time to do what had to be done. Humanity is capable of finding new purposes and missions.

Li Lin is not human.

There were cars and trains for brisk movement, boats and airplanes for the distances of the ocean and the sky, and books for the sake of recording what happened. In order to hold something, there are containers.

So—

For the sake of war, there were weapons.

The whole point of the existence of weapons is to engage in battle, or to be eliminated before they are formed, or to be destroyed in battle, or to lose the object of war and usher in madness and abandonment.

For Li Lin, the so-called "story of living without a mission" and "story after completing the mission". From the very beginning, there is no more zài.

Until the destruction of miè, he kept dedicating himself to the completion of the mission, pushing the plan forward with precision and perfection, and eliminating the obstructors - this is the whole meaning of Li Lin as a weapon, as a "divine will agent", and "transcendent species". In this regard, there is no doubt or unreasonableness in zài, and there is no room for zài to be questioned and pitied by others.

To sum up, the illogical concept of "pitiful" can never be the key to solving the mystery.

So. What exactly. It can prompt a human being to transcend the absolute gap in strength and technology, and to do that kind of process.

The red light at the end of the training was on, and after a burst of electric bells, the voice of the officer on duty in the communications room came out of the loudspeaker

"Your Excellency the Archon. It's 13:54 p.m. Your next item on your agenda is to head to the command post. Hear progress reports. ”

"Got it. ”

Glancing at the achievements scattered on the ground, Li Lin strode out of the dedicated gym, and the scattered bullets were left behind him along with the idea that "Roland could do this sooner".

6 minutes later. The Supreme Consul of Alfheim appeared on time at the head of the underground command post, and Brunhill, who stood beside him, recounted the results of the Council of Versailles and the state of the crown lord.

“...... Titans' forces are in a state of readiness, and may be deployed sooner than expected due to their preparations. On the other hand, the army seems to have privately given instructions to Hainau, who is accelerating in the direction of the city of Buda. ”

"Those guys from the Wang Army, they really haven't suffered enough. ”

Li Lin shrugged, looking at this playful move, the corners of Brunhill's mouth also curled slightly.

In the absence of the king's order, he entered the territory without authorization to exercise military control. Although it was the crown prince who proposed the plan and emphasized the suddenness and concealment, it was the army that carried it out after all, and it is difficult to say that they did not use this method to return the idea of color to Titans, who had also "walked alone" and "went violent". At this moment, it is probably because of the idea of suppressing the rebellion before Titans and cutting the face of his rivals.

This kind of competition between the branches of the military sometimes seems quite cute.

However, in the current situation, if you continue to be reckless like a child, you will only ask for your own hardship.

"Let's not talk about Titans, just hearing about Hainao's march into Buda City will change the situation in the crown realm dramatically. ”

So far, with the exception of a portion of the Crown's native army that had been directed to the rebels from the beginning, the vast majority of the soldiers, although sympathetic to the rebels, rarely took part in the battle directly, after all, it was not easy to turn the guns of uniformed and paid soldiers against the government. General Khanau ...... The news of the imminent arrival of this brutal and vain man, hated by the entire Crown Lord, would serve as a catalyst for the political struggle against the Crown Prince and the Governor's Palace, which was likely to develop into a war of independence against foreign military intervention, which the insurgents had hoped for.

"The 'False Ideological Defense Wall', the collectivization of agriculture, forced industrialization, land annexation, grain requisition, ...... Every tyranny involved the participation of the sea, and many of them were carried out by the generals on the front line, so it can be said that the seaau is a concrete symbol of the tyrannical rule of the crown prince. The people of the crown leader, whose interests and dignity have been violated strictly, will never launch a counteroffensive against him, but remain silent. ”

Li Lin took the teacup and said casually.

No one will remain silent about the infringement of their interests, even if they temporarily succumb to the threat of force from the other side. Although many people did not intend to fight for the "national independence" that they had never heard of, they were still willing to take up arms in the face of Hainao's counteroffensive.

Thus, the imperialist war was successfully transformed into a national independence movement, and the nature of the war began to change completely.

"Report!"

"Come in. ”

The communications non-commissioned officer walked in, leaned on his legs, saluted, handed the sealed bag to Brunhill, and bowed back.

"It's ......"

After the door closed, Brunhill opened the bag, and after reading two or three lines, her expression became strange.

"Viscount Kossuth Lajos issued the Declaration of Independence in the Cathedral of Debrecen, proclaiming the Republic of St. István!"

The Declaration of Independence is quite lengthy, and its core is the proclamation of the Crown of St. István as a free, sovereign and independent human nation. Announced in the name of all Magyars. In view of the crimes committed by the Bourbons during the "centuries of great suffering" - "treachery and trampling on the dignity and rights of the crown", "immediately dethroned him, expelled him from the crown of Saint-István and exiled him". Under the guidance of the Almighty Mother Goddess, the Crown Leader will become an independent and free republic......

The Declaration of Independence was unanimously agreed upon by the attendees, Kossuth was elected Head of State, Commander-in-General, and the Republic of St. István was born.

"A bunch of fools. ”

Putting down the report, His Excellency the Lieutenant General commented mercilessly.

The deposition of the House of Bourbon apparently brought joy to the people of the Crown, and everyone was immersed in the joy of the Crown, but in the current international form, such an act was tantamount to formal suicide.

A republic is nothing new. At the beginning of the old kingdom of Gilmania, it was a republic with the final say of the Senate. After two centuries of development, it transformed into a dualistic system with equal emphasis on royal power and the senate. After experiencing complete disappointment with the royal government, the aristocracy's practice of aristocratic republics can be regarded as a historical trend, and it can even be said to be a kind of progress.

It's just that the steps are too big, and it won't just pull the eggs. It's going to be fatal.

What is the mainstream of society at present? Great unification, monarchical centralization, nationalism, and power government are in the limelight. Archbishop Li and important ministers such as Walsingham sharpened the butcher's knife quickly and brightly every day. Just waiting for some of the nobles who don't open their eyes to jump out and die. The traditional religious power is slightly weakened, but the power is still very strong. At this time, it is clear that he jumps out to flaunt himself as a heretic and wants to be beaten and divided into corpses.

No country will recognize this "Republic of St. Istvan". On the contrary, all countries are openly and covertly supporting Charlemagne in getting rid of this group of rebels.

"Castile has made statements saying that 'the word republic is a madness that only cursed heretics can say,' that 'a country without a monarch is simply inconceivable and desane,' that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth demand an end to violence and that the parties sit down for negotiations, and that Lapland's proclamation is purely soy sauce, emphasizing the 'importance of jihad' and 'solidarity,' but at the end it also expresses opposition to the emergence of a republic. As for His Majesty the Pope, an encyclical has just been issued......"

Laying down a large stack of announcements, Brunhill read the words on the last piece of paper.

"The republican system is inherently wrong...... Those who live under the civilization of the only pure faith, no matter how they understand this matter, should not lend a helping hand to those who advocate heresy'. ”

"It's so united. ”

"Yes, they have always been united. ”

Brunhill said with more than a mocking expression.

Humanity has always been very united, very united in dealing with aliens, heretics, heretics and so on, and the elves have long learned this.

Wrong thinking, out of place - it's just an excuse, or a minutiae. What really makes everyone unacceptable is the terrifying word "revolutionary export".

For a long time, the mainstream consciousness of mankind was imbued with a strong electorate and messianic complex, and the human supremacy and traditional religious fanaticism that spawned from it drove them to fight and enjoy the Duchy for many centuries. It is precisely by relying on this sense of superiority rooted in the hearts of the vast majority of human beings that the Church and the kings have built a whole system of state operation, supplemented by a certain degree of deterrence by force, so that the people will obey their words.

This is true of all nations, and it is even worse to live under the barbaric rule of the orcs - with this perception in mind, the people will naturally be more tolerant of the dissatisfaction in life, after all, they have no other choice.

The emergence of a republican system will undoubtedly break the stagnant water in the current ideological field. Although the essence of the aristocratic republic is still that of the elite and the magnate, this is after all the first violent revolution in the world to shout "King fuck off!". For those who are plagued by the emptiness of the treasury, the extravagance of the royal family, the corruption of the bureaucracy, the monopoly of the plutocracy, the gap between the rich and the poor, the repression of speech, and many other problems, the "violent revolution" seems to be a fashionable and passionate option that can solve all kinds of social problems. As for whose lives are to be revolutionized - the rich royal family, the aristocracy, the chaebol, and the church are obviously good targets......

Democracy kills the whole family. It doesn't matter what world you are in.

In order to save their lives and their families' lives, wealth, and many other things that cannot be let go, the conflicted gangsters have joined hands and are about to drop the hammer of sanctions against those anti-bone boys who try to challenge the international order.

Alfheim is also one of them, but its situation is a bit peculiar: no one knows about its existence, and he also plays the role of "the evil capitalist who exploits and oppresses the vast majority of the working people", "the underground worker lurking in the imperialist camp", and "the thick-eyed traitor who broke into the revolutionary ranks".

"Inform the PR Department and ask them to draft a statement, based on model B06799, in general support for the mainstream opinion. Pay attention to the wording, not to be more radical than the official opinion of the countries, but also not to understate. Let them grasp the specific lì degree. ”

"Yes. ”

"Rush Titans to speed up their movements, even if some of the baggage can't be carried in time. When we get to the border, we'll have the supplies ready. ”

"Yes. ”

He hesitated a little, and soon Brunhill forgot the little money he had to use.

"Give the last batch of arms to our 'revolutionary comrades', and then temporarily suspend contact on the grounds of tightened border control. ”

With his hands folded together to cover the bridge of his nose, Li Lin said in a casual tone:

"Now, let's sit in the audience and quietly enjoy the performances of the actors, I hope you won't waste such good material. (To be continued......)
