Chapter 149 Fireworks in the Flourishing AgeBlood sacrifice, an inhuman thing commonly occurs in the southern and northern borders , And all are concentrated in major cities and towns, but not in the countryside where the standard of living is relatively backward.
This is mainly because the countryside of Akame ga Kill world is not a traditional countryside, but one after another hunting village. Every village lives in an environment surrounded by Danger Beast, and every villager is a born hunter. This makes them admire power very much and only believe in themselves, instead of placing hope on the ethereal god.
Even if some villages are blessed by Path of Peace and begin to believe in Path of Peace, the level of faith is not as crazy as the civilians in the city.
The particularity of the village made it difficult for the upper class of the empire to reach out to them. The only way to exploit them was the annual tax. However, if the exploitation is excessive, most branches of these villages will directly refuse to pay taxes. In this situation, most local officials will not be able to start.
The local army is in the dense forest, it is not the opponent of this group of villagers at all, and the Border Army they cannot command. This also makes the society extremely dark, but the villages that are far outside of civilization are at best impoverished and not yet starving to death.
Following the massive patrol squad of the third Legion to conduct random random checks on the town, 56 incidents of blood sacrifice babies were quickly detected in the southern and northern borders. No matter how rigorous the third Legion checks, it still cannot prevent such things from happening. Because the child is in their hands, they have a lot of opportunities to do this inhuman thing, and it's too late when the third Legion finds out.
Faced with this situation, the third Legion is also preparing a countermeasure plan. Since they sacrifice their own children to believe in blood, they will use their faith to stop them.
Canal City, Air Force Base.
A large attack helicopter landed slowly, and a handsome man in a white robe walked down. The temperament of the man is very unique, giving people a very peaceful and comfortable feeling. This man is the Sect Lord of Path of Peace.
The next two clergymen dressed in religious garb walked down and looked at the incomparable gigantic air base and the parked steel monsters. Everyone felt an indescribable shock. feel.
Then Path of Peace Bishop, led by several soldiers, came all the way to the headquarters.
At this time, all the high-levels of the third Legion gathered in the headquarters.
The soldiers gave a military salute to the third Legion senior in the command post, saying: "Report! The representative of Path of Peace has arrived."
Then the soldiers turned and left the room.
After a few words of courtesy between the two sides, Path of Peace Bishop managed to find the space in front of him.
Li Anguo cut directly into the topic, saying: "The Empire wants Path of Peace to stop the recent blood sacrifice baby incident. Third Legion hopes that Church can come up with an effective plan or action."
"Church feels very guilty and sorry about this matter." Path of Peace Bishop's handsome face was full of self-blame.
"A few years ago, the Church headquarters had been warning the local churches against guiding believers to perform this kind of blood sacrifice. However, because the strength of the Church headquarters was too weak, coupled with several other Bishop and local aristocratic officials , So that the headquarters has almost lost its influence on the local church."
Path of Peace can be said to be a noble, but also a noble. The original intention of Path of Peace Bishop was to use the power and financial resources of the nobility to relieve the suffering civilians. However, what happened later made Path of Peace Bishop aware of his own thoughts, which was too naive.
How could the exploiters give up the oppression of the exploited because of a few doctrines? They just changed a way. In essence, the oppression of the people is undiminished or even stronger, and the people are willingly oppressed because of their fanatical beliefs.
This has completely violated the original intention of Path of Peace Bishop to create Path of Peace, but when Path of Peace Sect Lord discovered it, it was already too late.
Over the years, he has been trying to eliminate these distorted local churches. However, no matter what method, the strength of the Church headquarters will eventually be too weak to achieve the desired effect. Even later, Path of Peace Bishop began to seek external help.
For example, he started working with the Revolutionary Army a year ago. Church provided the Revolutionary Army with the assistance and support of the lowest class people, and the Revolutionary Army helped Path of Peace clear the local church. However, after only three short months of cooperation, Path of Peace Bishop immediately realized that the Revolutionary Army and the nobles are simply jackals of the same tribe.
Instead of helping the Path of Peace headquarters remove the twisted local church, the Revolutionary Army accepted bribes from local nobles and churches. The Revolutionary Army's take-all behavior made Path of Peace Bishop very disappointed.
"So what does Church plan to do?" Li Anguo asked.
Path of Peace Sect Lord thought for a while, and then replied: "Church intends to send a large number of clergymen to propagate in the north and south. It preaches the true doctrine and makes the people realize that blood sacrifice is one Kind of wrong behavior."
Li Anguo was not surprised by the method mentioned by Path of Peace Sect Lord. The greatest strength of Path of Peace is its influence on the people. If you want to truly stop this behavior, you can only rely on their beliefs. But Li Anguo is not satisfied with this method because it is too inefficient.
On the 3rd day of Abundant and Flourishing Seven Days, nearly 100 blood sacrifice baby incidents have occurred, and the 7th day of the real celebration has not yet arrived. When Path of Peace's persuasion took effect, the celebration would have ended long ago.
Li Anguo said: "This method is too slow. Next, the Empire will give Church support, open the local churches that have been blocked, and help Church hold a grand Abundant and Flourishing Seven Days. "
Blocking is worse than sparse. The third Legion intends to use this celebration to let the oppressed people vent their inner pressure. At the same time, the third Legion intends to hold a liquidation on the 7th day of the most peak of the festival. Trial.
Judge all the nobles to attract the attention of the people, and use these nobles to increase the people's favor of Eastern Xia Empire.
Upon hearing Li Anguo's words, Path of Peace entire group was very surprised. Shouldn't it be to cancel Abundant and Flourishing Seven Days to avoid blood sacrifice?
Path of Peace Sect Lord thought for a while, and immediately understood the intention of Eastern Xia Empire. Instead of suppressing this celebration, it is better to let all the civilians participate. After all, no matter how suppressed the third Legion is, some believers who want blood sacrifice babies can still find a way to hold blood sacrifice.
Next, the two sides moved on to the next topic, which is the plan to modify the Path of Peace doctrine. This is the main purpose of the Path of Peace Sect Lord today.
After a friendly conversation between the two sides, a new Path of Peace doctrine was released.
Since the education of Path of Peace headquarters is in line with Eastern Xia Empire's ethics, most of them are to guide believers to survive and face life positively. So Eastern Xia Empire did not make too many changes, just added one at the front.
[Under the guidance and approval of Your Majesty the Emperor, Path of Peace will guide believers to contribute to the construction of society]
……
The next few days With the support of Eastern Xia Empire, the largest Abundant and Flourishing Seven Days celebration since then began. Countless red and yellow decorations were hung up high, and all the towns became extremely happy.
At the same time hundreds of thousands of tons of various foods are transported in, Eastern Xia Empire announced that the Abundant and Flourishing Seven Days celebration will be jointly organized by the third Legion and Path of Peace headquarters. During these 7 days, Eastern Xia Empire will provide everyone with food for free, and everyone can enjoy the carnival.
When the residents knew that Eastern Xia Empire allowed and supported the Abundant and Flourishing Seven Days celebration, they felt very incredible without exception. After all, what happened during this period has severely disrupted the order established by Eastern Xia Empire. According to their knowledge of the third Legion during this period, the most disgusted by these soldiers are law breakers.
Someone broke the rules because of Abundant and Flourishing Seven Days, then this celebration should be held impossible. But now Eastern Xia Empire has not stopped it, but has become the organizer, providing them with a variety of food.
As the news spread out, all the people began to fall into a carnival. Countless people walked on the street to enjoy a variety of food, and some people with special talents were hired by the third Legion to perform in designated places.
At the same time, the third Legion also dispatched countless military trucks to all around villages, sending the people in the villages all the way into nearby towns or cities.
And these villagers with martial arts enter the town and see some people performing acrobatics at the end of the street, and they can get a lot of money tickets issued by Eastern Xia Empire. Some villagers directly found an empty place and performed various martial arts.
All the towns in the area controlled by Eastern Xia Empire are lively, and countless people are caring on the streets. There are mobile stalls selling all kinds of delicacies, there are acrobatic troupes performing acrobatics, hunters showing martial arts, and even villagers who pull in the corpse of Danger Beast to sell...
In this celebration In, the people can eat white bread that only aristocrats could eat before, and drink a variety of delicious drinks from Eastern Xia Empire. Everyone feels like they are living in a dream or in heaven. It turns out that the world can still be so beautiful.
If this is a beautiful dream, then I hope this dream will continue.
For the first time in the past ten years, people smiled from the heart and felt that they were alive for the first time. This era of chaos and darkness has completely become the past in this carnival.
The soldiers of the third Legion did not participate in this celebration, they are responsible for maintaining the nature of the celebration. A patrol squad composed of 10 fully armed Eastern Xia soldiers shuttled through the streets and lanes, maintaining law and order throughout the celebration.
Indifferent, the third Legion soldier, who is like a machine, is out of touch with the festive surroundings.
In this carnival, the psychological pressure of the people being exploited for many years is gradually released, and the people's sense of belonging to Eastern Xia Empire has grown at an incredible rate. I believe that after this celebration, Eastern Xia Empire's reputation among the people will completely surpass Path of Peace.
Coupled with the announcement of the new teachings of Path of Peace, everyone knows that God can exist, but he must get permission from Eastern Xia Empire.
……
Four days later, on the seventh day of the Abundant and Flourishing Seven Days celebration, the whole celebration entered the most peak. Almost all the people joined the celebration.
The blood sacrifice event that happened everyday all disappeared without a trace, because Eastern Xia Empire reopened the Church of Path of Peace. All believers went to the church to worship and listened to the teachings of the clergy sent by Path of Peace headquarters.
As aboriginals, the Night Raid squad also got a day off, allowing them to participate in the celebration of the arrival of this new age.
The members of Night Raid squad took off their military uniforms, put on their daily clothes, and walked on the spacious streets of Imperial Capital.
"Oh! It's really lively!" Leone watched the lively scene all around, the rows of shops selling all kinds of food.
Everyone in Night Raid was affected by the surrounding festive scenes, and everyone smiled more or less unconsciously. At the same time, my heart was filled with emotion, and most of the people they had seen before had only numbness and pain in their eyes. And now their eyes are full of joy and hope for the future.
Leone turned around and waved his hand at the others, "Go! How about a drink on such a happy day?"
"Drink your big head Ghost!" Mine glared at the woman whose breasts were bigger than her head, "I don't want to drag a few dead people back on such a festive day."
Najenda also stood up and stopped:" hahaha, Leone don’t drink today, or miss the fireworks in the evening. When the time comes, it’s too late to regret."
"Okay," Leone immediately gave up when he heard the fireworks and went to swig. Suddenly, she then turned her gaze to Lubbock again.
After Najenda took the lead and walked ahead, Leone slowed down and walked side by side with Lubbock.
"Lubbock, when are you going to drag it?" Leone asked.
Lubbock cast aside his gaze with a guilty conscience, and said, "Wait...wait, I'm not mentally prepared yet."
"Psychologically prepared?" Leone looked at Lubbock contemptuously. , "When you are mentally prepared, all the children of the boss are born."
Regarding the situation between Najenda and Lubbock, everyone in Night Raid was both anxious and speechless. Obviously they like each other, but these two guys are particularly embarrassed in front of their feelings. Najenda couldn't hold her face down and took the lead in expressing her heart. Lubbock was another big counselor who flinched every time she wanted to confess.
"Impossible." Lubbock shook his head again and again.
"Nothing is impossible," Leone gave a weird smile.
Then the people of Night Raid walked on the streets of Imperial Capital, shuttled through various paving and acrobatics troupes, ate a variety of delicacies, and drank a drink called Coke.
Everyone smiles unconsciously just like the people around them, even if Akame seldom smiles. This is their ideal society, and this is the beauty that Night Raid has to pursue in order to fight for their lives.
They succeeded, they reached that ideal society.
At noon, I played the Night Raid for a whole morning and sat on the ground in a park. There were countless people sitting on the ground with various foods around, watching the clown performing acrobatics in the middle.
As the clown showed a high altitude, after walking the tightrope, the people applauded.
"Okay!"
Ten minutes later, Night Raid everyone walked out of the park, planning to go shopping in other places, I heard that the Imperial Palace was opened today.
As the Night Raid people walked out of the park, a man at the entrance of the cemetery across the road caught their attention.
The man has white hair and three white flowers in his hand. If you observe carefully, you can see that the man is faintly exuding a faint white light.
The man turned his head slowly, the pure white eyes took a look at Night Raid and everyone turned around and entered the cemetery.
Everyone in Night Raid was taken aback. They recognized who this person was. Isn't this person the childhood sweethearts of Sayo and Ieyasu?
Seeing Tatsumi, everyone at Night Raid was surprised, but not surprised. They knew that Special Law and Order Force had accepted Zhao'an from Eastern Xia Empire, and Akame visited her younger sister a few days ago.
"Tatsumi!" Sayo reacted immediately, paying attention to the past.
When Ieyasu saw Sayo running into the cemetery, he reacted and chased him in. Everyone in Night Raid looked at each other and then entered the cemetery.
In the cemetery, a white-haired man stood quietly in front of three tombstones side by side, and his pure white eyes quietly looked at the tombstones.
"Tatsumi!" Sayo looked at the unusually familiar and unfamiliar silhouette in front of him, and said his name subconsciously, but didn't know what to say next.
Tatsumi turned around slowly, looked at this companion who grew up together, and said: "Sayo, long time no see."
"Tatsumi, you are What's wrong?" When Sayo stood in front of Tatsumi, she realized that her childhood sweethearts seemed to have changed.
But she couldn't tell exactly where it changed. She just felt that Tatsumi was standing in front of her at this moment, but she felt so far away.
hu
A gentle breeze swept gently, and the surrounding trees made a rustling sound. Tatsumi didn't answer Sayo's question, just watched her quietly.
Seeing that Tatsumi did not answer her question, Sayo continued to ask: "Tatsumi, let’s go back to the village together."
Tatsumi shook the head, saying: "I can’t go back. "
At this time, Ieyasu who had just arrived just heard Tatsumi's words. He ran straight to Tatsumi's death, put his hands on his shoulders, and asked, "Tatsumi, what are you talking about? Why can't you come back to the village with us!? Everyone is waiting for you to go home!"
"Now that the war is over, we are no longer enemies! Tatsumi will let us go back to the days before, okay?"
Ieyasu was very emotional, holding Tatsumi tightly with both hands. Shoulders.
From the time they got Tatsumi and did not die, but also accepted the Empire's Zhaoan, Ieyasu and Sayo have been expecting Tatsumi to return to the village with them. Now it's hard to meet them once, and the two of them will definitely catch this guy and ask.
"The war is indeed over, but my war is not over." Tatsumi reached out and broke the hands Ieyasu had placed on his shoulders and took two steps back.
In the eyes of the two of them, an invisible wall appeared between Tatsumi and them.
"I can't go back anymore. All I can do now is to keep going." Tatsumi glanced at the tombstone behind him.
Now this society has indeed become a society where everyone can eat and wear warmth, but Tatsumi still cannot forgive himself, at least he is not qualified to enjoy happiness.
……
At night, it is approaching 12 o'clock, when the whole land is still brightly lit. Everyone stopped the carnival and looked up at the sky, waiting for the arrival of the new age.
00.00
Xiū xiū xiū xiū!
An incomparable gigantic firework, carrying colorful rays of light, soars into the sky.
bang!
With a loud noise, the fireworks exploded in an instant, and colorful flames bloomed in the sky. A flower named Shengshi shining on the dark sky and shining on the people on the earth.
Everyone looked at the constantly flying and exploding fireworks in the sky, raised their hands and shouted, cheering for the arrival of the new age. There were excited smiles on people's faces, cheers with all their might, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.
The fireworks of the prosperous age illuminate the whole land. The era full of darkness, chaos and madness has passed, and a new era has arrived.
I have fixed the remaining manuscripts to be automatically posted at 9:0010:00.
