Chapter 17: Seeing and Hearing

Hao Qi left Gus's team, but he didn't immediately make any changes, and he didn't even go directly to the location of the Eagle of Light, but flew towards a nearby town, he wanted to confirm something first.

Choose.

The choice of the people of this world.

Since the Battle of the Black Sea, although Hao Qi did not regret making a move at that time, he also saw the tragic situation in the Black Sea, although he did not regret it, but it was only for himself.

After that, a series of things happened, whether it was to fight with the unparalleled world, or to return to the primeval era, or to resurrect from the primeval era, during this time, he actually had been thinking about the Black Sea war.

If he just thinks, maybe the direction of thinking will change, at least it is different from what he thinks now, but the birth of the overlord has made his thinking change dramatically, that is, the problem of choice.

The birth, experience, pain, sorrow, as well as his dominance of the world, the strength of the ancient and modern, etc., most of these Hao Qi knew from Wu Zetian, although there must be many inside stories that even Wu Zetian didn't know, but he knew the general situation.

The overlord is a person who has survived from the most tragic era of mankind, he has seen too many tragic things, experienced too many desperate things, it is an era when he can't see the future at all, he can't see hope, and the overlord and his team are the only little bit of light in the infinite darkness, even if this light is like a candle in the wind, but that's all the overlord.

And this light, after being crushed and crushed, the overlord almost saw with his own eyes that all his partners were either crushed and killed, or turned into a puppet state more miserable than death, Hao Qi didn't know what the overlord experienced at that time, but obviously, the overlord had a huge transformation at that time, whether it was in terms of ideology or strength, to put it simply, except for the person named overlord, its essence is likely to have undergone a huge change.

Since then, Nioh has become an overlord, and the existence called Overlord was born, ending the puppet world, and firmly controlling the whole world in his hands, dominating the world and the world, strong ancient and modern, becoming the strongest in this world, and its influence even runs through the entire pluralistic throughout, until Hao Qi's Seven Seas era directly detonated the major event of the Ten Directions Heroes and Overlords, and a multiple upheaval is just around the corner.

Hao Qi and the overlord have fought side by side, he can clearly feel the vastness and heart of the overlord, it can be said that the overlord is a great man, is the kind of peerless hero who can support a new world for everyone, he is selfless, but also bright, is to start the so-called barbarian world, what he did is not for himself, and even as far as Hao Qi knows, the overlord is to use himself as a sacrifice to open a great and glorious era, whether he succeeds or fails, his own existence will be completely annihilated, and if he succeeds, his merits are for the life of the new era, no less than the myths and legends of Pangu to Hao Qi's previous era.

If this is the case, then why Hao Qi, no, it should be said, why would the entire plurality, whether it is the Heavenly Dao or the Great Dao, whether it is the Ancient or the Ancient, whether it is a warrior or a scientist, or even a foreign race, and all other heroes oppose him, and then assemble to oppose him?

It is certainly inaccurate to say that it is all a matter of position, and perhaps a large part of the reason is that once the overlord succeeds, the world, past, experience, existence, etc. of these people will be reduced to nothingness, to put it simply, fundamentally they do not exist, whether it is an entity, a memory, or a concept, and the instinctive desire to exist, which is the basis of almost all living beings.

For example, part of the reason why Hao Qi wants to be hostile to the overlord is that this world has the bonds he cares about, and he will not lie about this.

However, to say that all the heroes from the ten directions are like this, this is too extreme, the ten directions, the ten directions, the past and the present, the southeast and the northwest, life and death, among all the heroes of the ten directions, how can there be a lack of people who sacrifice and dedicate themselves for the sake of righteousness?

And the reason why these heroes of the ten directions, as well as Hao Qi, oppose the overlord, there is only one fundamental point, that is, the overlord's barbarian world does not give people a choice, it is a kind of coercion that determines all living beings, and even a kind of great world in the future of the multiverse, no matter whether it is good or bad, everyone is facing only this kind of future, such a decision, there is no room for choice, no less than hell!

Hao Qi is on the premise of having an overlord, a kind of self-awareness, coupled with the infinite years he was trapped in virtual detachment, thinking and thinking for so many years, he also has enough self-awareness of some of his behaviors, such as the Black Sea incident at the beginning, he still does not regret it, but if he is asked to choose now, then he will look at it more, and then give people a choice, it is true that there is no shortage of people in the world who can't stand up once they kneel, their knees have evolved into a kneeling posture, and they would rather die if they don't kneel, but there is definitely no shortage of spine and knees that are as hard as stones, hoping to make changes, people who want to be able to stand up freely.

Just as God said in the Bible, he can forgive the wicked people of a city for the sake of a good person, and Hao Qi can also be the enemy of the entire Black Sea for the sake of a person who is afraid of one person, as long as this person really wants to be free, he is willing to give such a choice.

In the distance from the forest where Gus and the others were, this is a town, not a city, but it is much larger than an ordinary town, although for Hao Qi, who has seen the primeval era, this town is not even a village, but for the people of this era, this is already a big town, except for a very few important cities, such a town is enough to become the lord of the baron or even the viscount's domain.

At the moment, there are people coming and going in this town, but it is not prosperous, most of them are soldiers, and only a very small number of people are carefully avoiding these soldiers.

From the plot of the original book, this point in time is already the climax stage of Kusha's invasion, most of Mitland has basically fallen, and there are basically no strong nobles left in the entire Mittland, in other words, the entire Mitland is almost dying, in this case, a large number of Mittland's surrounding countries have begun to connect in tandem, and a large number of aristocratic armies have entered the territory where Mitland has not fallen, in the name of resisting Kusha's invasion and helping Mitland recover, but in fact, it is grabbing territory.

Powerful foreign nobles, in addition to seizing a bridgehead of the territory of the Midland country, the next plan is to compete with the Kusha Empire, and use their strength to legally seize more territories from the Kusha Empire, so that the territories obtained will basically have a certain legal support.

And the plan of those foreign small nobles is very simple, that is, to invade the existing territory of Midland, especially those territories where the noble lords have died or disappeared, in the name of helping to resist, as long as the army enters, it will be difficult for them to leave, of course, these small nobles do not dare to go too far, most of them are vassals of those big nobles, and they are the vanguard of those big nobles, protecting the grain routes for those big nobles, and at the same time providing logistics for those big nobles, and this town happens to belong to one of the encroached onesใ€‚

For these foreign nobles, although they are also powerful in their own territory, but for the sake of "sustainable development" They won't do too many things, but this is Mitran's territory, although it has been invaded by them, but psychologically speaking, it has not really been regarded as their own territory, and the people above will naturally exploit it, and the very few who were originally powerful and rich can be said to be a member of the noble ranks, as long as they pay a sufficient price, they may not be able to change their courts.

What is really tragic is that the citizens, commoners, and peasants who are already in an exploited position, under the threat of Kusha's brutal massacre outside, under the frenzied exploitation of foreign nobles, and the occasional monsters outside the cities and villages, their lives are no longer describable, they are simply miserable.

On Hao Qi's way into the city, he saw a large number of people pouring into the town with their families in tow, the richest of these people had groups of bodyguards, luxurious carriages, and enough horses, the number was very small, most of them were the surrounding gentry and petty nobles, and the vast majority of the refugees were ragged low-level people, or peasants, or fleeing mercenaries, or wandering beggars, or those vultures on the battlefield, scavengers who made a fortune from the dead......

Hao Qi went deep into these people at the bottom of society and blended into their team, although Hao Qi didn't look like one of them no matter how he looked at it, but no one had a surprised look, and it could even be said that he directly turned a blind eye to Hao Qi, allowing Hao Qi to travel among them, and let him see everything.

The first thing Hao Qi saw was the group of vultures on the battlefield, the scavengers walking in death......
