Chapter 167
Chapter 167 The way to save Beloberg is to serve Su Mo as a dog
“So, she fell before I even made a move?”
Looking at Cocolia lying on the ground, Xing held the amber spear in his hand, feeling as if he had drawn his sword and looked around in confusion. He finally gained the energy of a new destiny, shouldn’t this be his highlight moment?
How come the boss was defeated by Altria in one blow, and he didn’t even get an assist?
“Isn’t it good to be able to defeat the enemy safely?”
March Seven looked at Xing speechlessly.
Then he praised the familiar Altria in front of him.
“Miss Saber is indeed amazing, worthy of being Lord Su Mo’s attendant!”
“It’s nothing. If it weren’t for the Master’s mission, I wouldn’t have been able to master the power of preserving destiny so quickly.”
Altria shook her head modestly.
She realized why Su Mo asked her to join the battle. It turned out that it was not to protect Xing, but to let her embark on the journey of destiny. Now she has become a destiny walker who preserves destiny. Although her strength is still only at the fifth level, it is still greatly improved compared to before.
“”By the way, where is Lord Su Mo?”
San Yue Qi asked curiously.
Since he was able to arrange for Altria to come, doesn’t that mean Su Mo has always known the situation here?
“”Oh, right! Where’s Dad?”
Xing Ye asked curiously.
“Master is here——”
When facing the two people’s questions, Artoria was about to speak, when she suddenly heard a heartfelt cry.
“Mother!”
After the battle, Bronya was the only one who had complicated feelings towards the enemy in front of her.
The spear in her hand fell to the frozen ground with a”mouth” sound. Bronya quickly stepped forward and came to her adoptive mother, the Great Guardian of Beloberg.
“”Mother, why did you join the Star Core and betray everyone?”
Bronya asked in a sad tone.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never have thought that Beloberg’s biggest culprit would be the leader Cocolia.
Facing Bronya’s questioning, Cocolia lowered her head in silence.
If she had been able to explain her ideals with confidence before meeting Su Mo, and invited Bronya to join her plan.
At that time, she still believed that her approach was right.
Since Beloberg only has one or two hundred days of fuel left, and one day it will be doomed, why can’t it take the initiative to move towards destruction and retain the hope of new life?
But after meeting Su Mo and being ruthlessly used as an experimental subject, Cocolia’s suffering goes without saying.
Compared to the physical ‘s torment, but what can break her defense even more is the change in cognition.
It turns out that her so-called hope is entirely the possibility caused by her unconscious tendency to self-destruct.
If she were not so desperate and pessimistic, Beloberg would not have to experience destruction at all and could be reborn.
And more importantly, both Su Mo and Black Tower have demonstrated means that are superior to the star core.
In other words, if these two are willing to take action, the entire planet may be saved.
Because of this, she cooperated with all the extreme tests arranged by Su Mo and Black Tower, and never dared to disobey them.
Including this small test of combat power.
Therefore, facing Bronya’s questioning, Cocolia was silent for a long time before speaking.
“Bronya, whether you believe it or not, I am also using my own way to save Belo Berg.”
She was using the method of being a test subject to save Belo Berg.
Although, even if she didn’t want to be a test subject, she had no choice at all.
Bronya, who didn’t know the meaning of Cocolia’s words, thought that she was still being stubborn.
“Is my way the way to destroy Beloberg?”
Her eyes were filled with grief.
Seeing her daughter’s look, Cocolia was helpless.
She couldn’t say that it was Su Mo’s way to be a dog, right?
As a mother, if she said such words in front of her daughter, how could she save face!
So, after a few seconds of silence, she finally spoke.
“I have done what I can do. Bronya, you have also proved your will. From now on, you are the Great Guardian of Beloberg. Don’t let down the responsibility on your shoulders!”
Although she felt that she was not qualified to say this, Cocolia still gave her daughter a final encouragement.
Bronya naturally could not accept such a result.
She stepped forward and wanted to take Cocolia and the star core away.
“I don’t……”
“I don’t agree!”
Before she finished her refusal, a girl like a butterfly came from behind Cocolia and directly blocked the mother and daughter.
The heroic girl held a sickle in her hand, drew a line in front of her in a deterrent way, and then carried Cocolia and the star core in her body with one hand.
“This girl is now the property of Lord Su Mo. No matter what your relationship with her is, you cannot take her away.”
After stopping Bronya in front of her, Xier raised her eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly
“As for the position of the Great Guardian, I will never accept it until the residents of our lower districts nod their heads!”
She was already dissatisfied with the people of the upper district, and Cocolia, the leader who tried to collude with the Star Core, deepened her dissatisfaction.
Although she didn’t think that Bronya, who would fight with Cocolia, would be a bad person, Seele didn’t intend to leave the fate of the lower district to Bronya, her successor.
“The recognition of the lower class… Are you the Seele mentioned by Miss Clara?”
Bronya was slightly stunned. Seeing Seele’s outfit, she quickly recognized the girl who left with Su Mo mentioned by Clara before.
“That’s right!”
Xier nodded, her attitude upright.
“No matter what you think, we in the lower class will not recognize your upper class���sleeve”
“Lower area……”
Hearing this, Bronya fell silent. She had always opposed the separation of the upper and lower classes. She had personally experienced the suffering of the people in the lower class before, so she could understand Seele’s resentment and distrust.
After thinking for a few seconds, she looked at the girl in front of her with great sincerity, patted her chest and promised
“Seele, I know that the upper district has let down the lower district too much, but can you please trust me again? If I inherit the position of the Great Guardian, I will lift the ban, restore the traffic between the upper and lower districts, and provide basic living security for the lower district.”
Bronya’s attitude was very sincere. If it were in the past, if she saw the next Great Guardian make such a promise, Seele might really choose to believe it.
She has always been the type of person who is hard on the outside but soft on the inside.
But now, even if she just overheard the chat between Su Mo and Topa, she no longer has any expectations for the promises of this politician.
“I refuse!”
She said bluntly.
“Why? Don’t you believe in my promise? I can give you the best guarantee I can! In any form.”
Bronya said sincerely, holding herself to the standard of a leader, she really wanted to bridge the rift between the two sides.
Even if she had to kneel down, it didn’t matter.
However, facing her attitude, Seele was a little touched, but still shook her head.
“No, although I am dissatisfied with the upper class, I believe that those who are willing to risk their lives to fight Cocolia will not break their promise.”
“Then why did you refuse?”
Bronya was immediately confused.
“Lord Su Mo said something that I think makes a lot of sense – when it comes to things that you care about most, never give the initiative to others.”
Xi’er replied calmly.
“Rather than believing in your promise, I hope to control the fate of the lower district in my own hands… What we want is the right to be self-sufficient, not the charity of your upper district!”
Seele, who has lived a precarious life since childhood, has her own expectations for the lower district, so she will trust a strong leader.
If Su Mo and Altria were not there, Bronya might have become a leader she admired.
But after seeing the views and methods of the two, Bronya was a little too naive in her eyes.
Personal promise?
Ha! Compared with the fate of the lower district, it is not worth mentioning at all.
“No matter what, we in the lower districts are not willing to become your vassals. As a leader, you may be able to ensure that you treat the lower districts well now, but what about the next great guardian? Is the fate of the lower district destined to swing back and forth with your attitude?”
Xier pointed out the most critical point.
If the lower district wants to control its own destiny, it cannot rely on any immortal emperor, nor can it rely on the upper district that has long betrayed its faith.
“It’s a pity that sister Saber is unwilling to be the king. Otherwise, no matter how much it costs, I would like to ask Lord Su Mo to let her become our leader.”
Looking at Artoria, she shook her head regretfully.
If someone must be the leader and make her feel at ease, it would probably be Artoria in front of her.
“Miss Saber?”
Hearing Seele’s words, Bronya looked at Altria in surprise.
She didn’t expect that this powerful knight was actually a leader recognized by Seele…
After thinking about it, she bowed her head sincerely and said
“If possible, can Miss Saber share some experience? Facing such a divided Beloberg, how can I win back the hearts of the people in the lower class?”
Seeing that she was very sincere and didn’t seem to be putting on a show, Altria spoke without hesitation.
“Push out some corrupt nobles and make them bear the responsibility of isolating the upper and lower districts, and confiscate their assets to provide welfare to ordinary people in the lower and upper districts, especially the Silver Mane Iron Guards.”
The superiors want to grab nothing more than guns and money bags. As the legitimate heir, Bronya has as many ways to break out of this situation as she wants.
Hearing this, the inexperienced Bronya opened her mouth slightly.
“What does it mean to take responsibility?”
“Either beheading or hanging is fine.”
Altria replied calmly.
“As long as you don’t touch the military nobles at the beginning, there will be no problem. The key is to relieve the grievances of the lower-class people and regain their trust.”
“”Ah? Isn’t this too harsh?”
Bronya opened her mouth slightly. This would at least sentence hundreds of people to death, right?
Seeing her innocent face, Altria shook her head, with no contempt in her eyes. She just said calmly:
“You can investigate what they did first, then you won’t have any psychological burden, and you may even need to be careful not to kill too many at once for the sake of stability.”
Her vicissitudes of life were clearly based on experience.
“……”Will it be like this?”
Bronya was still a little skeptical.
She believed that no matter how corrupt those families were, they would not commit such a crime, right?
If they ignored justice and killed people at will, what was the difference between them and those world-shattering monsters?
“So serious?”
Even Xi’er was a little surprised by Artoria’s answer.
She knew that Artoria had rich experience in governing the country, but she never thought that the simple suppression of power mentioned by Artoria and Su Mo was actually so bloody.
Seeing her daughter’s innocent face, Cocolia, who was carried by Xi’er, sighed.
“Miss Saber is right. Beloberg is already riddled with holes. As the Great Guardian who personally issued the order to isolate the upper and lower levels, all the misfortunes in the lower level area are directly related to me. I have no room for excuses on this point. It is entirely my responsibility as a leader.”
“So, I am not here to defend myself, I just want to introduce the situation of Beloberg. The output of earth marrow is related to the countdown of the life of Beloberg City. Do you think that the order of isolation was pushed by me alone?”
When it comes to the issue of pricing of unique minerals, the power struggle behind it may not be suppressed even by the Great Guardian.
It is still in the cold wave, but it does not take the initiative to mine minerals. Instead, it allows the upper and lower layers to be isolated from each other, and the price of earth marrow has skyrocketed.
Can this unnatural phenomenon really be easily caused by a single order from the Great Guardian?
“……Mother, you mean?”
Bronya widened her eyes in astonishment, and even Seele couldn’t believe it.
“To hinder the mining of the earth’s marrow in the cold wave is tantamount to suicide. You mean that group of nobles would not even risk their lives to make money?”
Xier couldn’t believe that there would be such stupid people in the world.
“That’s not the case.”
Cocolia shook her head and said sarcastically
“They still care about their lives. Even if Beloberg is destroyed, the heating of their manor can continue for decades.”
“If I, the great guardian, were to be impeached when the cold wave submerged Beloberg, those families would probably be able to easily turn Beloberg into their own manor!”
“……”
“……”
Seele and Bronya were completely silent.
If Cocolia hadn’t said it herself, they would never have thought that in the face of disaster, humans could still scheme against each other to such an extent.
“If that’s the case, I understand what Miss Saber means.”
Bronya clenched her fists, obviously determined.
If these termites really want to take Beloberg with them, she will definitely ruthlessly eradicate them first.
“Eradicating them is not a permanent solution… I suddenly understand Sister Saber’s choice.”
Xier showed a thoughtful expression.
Obviously, she also found a way to deal with those termites.
However, if she wants to try her own plan, she needs to meet Su Mo first.
