The horn of war came faster than expected!
In less than ten days, the parliament that completed the preparatory work took the lead. It not only exposed all the dirty activities in the shadow guard, but also issued an ultimatum to ask the other party to lay down their weapons and surrender within ten days, otherwise it would use super weapons to kill all the rebels trying to resist.
On the other hand, the shadow guard leader, who already had considerable influence, was unwilling to show weakness, quickly refuted all charges against himself, and even publicized that these were all conspiracies of the parliament to cross the river and tear down the bridge, which threatened the supreme rights of the parliament.
In addition, other members of the shadow guard also took the opportunity to spread rumors among the people at the bottom, claiming that the parliament did so to ensure that its own status and interests were not threatened, and wanted to erase this powerful force rooted in every darente's blood.
As the saying goes, breaking people's financial path is like killing parents, not to mention a more important force than money.
Although parliament has established absolute and unquestionable authority for thousands of years, no one will choose to retreat in the face of this situation.
For a while, the long-term privileged casters led by Parliament and most of the soldiers and ordinary people living at the bottom of society led by the shadow guard quickly formed an irreconcilable fierce contradiction, and the whole society was divided into two camps.
At first, the confrontation was limited to oral debates in the streets, but soon developed into naked violence.
Especially the soldiers who have been suppressed for a long time have directly adopted the most extreme way - duel to respond to the provocations of the casters who are high in the sky.
Not surprisingly, the shadow is a force rooted in the blood of darente people. Even novices who have just awakened can master a lot of skills in rapid learning. In addition, most magic users do not understand the characteristics of this force for a long time, and almost more than 60% of the unlucky people die on the spot, The rest, even if they win, are disastrous.
Like all opposites and conflicts, with the pungent smell of blood, every darente realized that this civil war was inevitable.
Therefore, they either choose to stand in line, hoping to take this opportunity to change their destiny; Or under the guise of reinforcing the expeditionary army, leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible to prevent inadvertently getting involved into it and becoming cannon fodder, and consider whether to come back after the chaos and contradictions subside.
Time passed quickly. When the last second of the deadline was over, the parliament did not hesitate to launch a powerful attack magic.
The whole building was ravaged by the energy of different attributes such as fire, frost, nature and arcane art. In the blink of an eye, it was beyond recognition, and even no residue could be left.
After the violent vibration, explosion and loud noise, I saw a black unidentified substance in a semicircle, firmly keeping all the attacks outside, and could not hurt the people inside at all.
Before the Legion of spellcasters gathered in the distance could react to what had happened, the black unknown substance suddenly rose up and directly shrouded them in it.
Through the traces left by the continuous struggle on the surface of black matter, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of pain the people inside are suffering.
When everything calmed down completely, the black mysterious substance faded slowly, leaving only incomplete bones everywhere.
There is no doubt that a whole legion of organic casters was quietly destroyed.
Just when the Parliament and the shadow guard began to test each other's strength and cards, Luke, hiding in the depths of the forest, was communicating with the leaders of various races who had deep blood feuds with the darentes in the camp, knowing that each of them agreed to launch an attack in three days.
……
"How's it going? Is everything done?" the boy pursed his mouth and asked meaningfully.
Luke nodded without thinking: "yes, it's all done. No matter what happens next, darentes can't have time and energy to deal with us."
"Very good! Then, dear brother, are you ready to uncover all the secrets with me and embrace our destiny?" after saying that, the boy turned his eyes to the direction of the dark lake in the distance.
"Escape is not my character. What's more, I've always wanted to find out whether we will become one again when the answer is revealed, since we are two parts separated from a consciousness and soul." Luke licked his lips and made a hypothesis.
I don't know why. The closer he is to the moment of revealing the answer, the more he has an unspeakable tension.
"Are you afraid?" the boy turned and stared into each other's eyes.
Luke hesitated a little and quickly replied with a smile: "no, it should not be fear, but an anxiety that can not be expressed in words. Don't you doubt what the meaning of what we do? What would you do if you and I really need to give up the identity and consciousness of independent existence in the end?"
"Fear comes from the unknown. To some extent, anxiety is also a kind of fear. I can understand that when you may face the ultimate choice, both you and I have too many concerns. Personality, consciousness and memory are the most basic things of life. Once these are lost, you will not be your original self, but a new life. But there are At this time, evolution needs to pay a price. This price may be to abandon the past and welcome the future with a new attitude. If it were me, I would not be confused or hesitant. "
When he said these words, the boy's tone was as calm as ever, as if abandoning himself was as simple and easy for him as eating and drinking water.
"So... You've made a decision!" Luke raised his eyebrows and looked surprised.
"Yes! I have made a decision. In addition, you'd better hurry up. After all, we don't have much time left. If you choose the opposite of me at the last moment, I'm afraid we'll become really immortal enemies.
"Hehe, I don't want to be your enemy."
"I don't want to. But often, personal will is small and insignificant, and can't affect other people's choices, can't it?"
"That's right! Anyway, it's between you and me. You and I should draw a full stop together, whether it's perfect or not."
"That's all for chatting. Let's go. It's still a long way from here to the dark lake. You can think about it slowly on the way."
With the last word blurted out, the two boys finally ended this, and probably the last in-depth face-to-face conversation.
