Chapter 326 People Die but Ideas Never Do
Is Ryan still worthy of his loyalty now?
Allen had not thought about this question. Even though he had made the decision to burn down the armory to stop the war, he still felt that he was correcting Ryan's mistakes.
But is it enough to just correct the mistakes?
Allen couldn't help but think of the young orc's cry to him.
"My parents died in this city a long time ago! Ryan's white-haired dog, if you have the guts, kill me too. I will return to the embrace of the gods and wait for you invaders to go to hell!"
This voice seemed to still echo in his ears.
Allen thought of the young man who wanted to retire after the war, but his family wanted to execute him on the spot.
When Allen left Ryan and came to the newly occupied land of the Dwarf Kingdom. The original people had to give up their land for the new dwarves and became displaced. No matter how the Dwarf Kingdom controlled it, this kind of squeeze on living space was inevitable.
Allen lived here for a while, and the most common words he heard were not cursing the dwarves, but cursing Ryan who started the war.
Why did they send troops to the desert? Could it be that the Ryan people could not survive without the gold in the desert?
Alan couldn't answer this question.
When he was still living in Ryan, he heard that the reason was that Ryan's merchants were oppressed by the dwarves, which ignited a small-scale friction between the two sides, and then both sides suffered casualties.
Then, Ryan continued to invade for many years.
At that time, Alan thought it was right to do so. The Ryan people were much more noble than the desert dwarves, and one life had to be compensated by the lives of ten thousand dwarves.
But now he found that this was no different from the rule of the dragon tyrant.
According to historical records, during the reign of the dragon clan, uprisings never ceased, but any dragon that lost a dragon scale would massacre the nearby villages.
The value of a dragon scale is more important than thousands of lives in the eyes of the dragon clan.
The dragon clan at that time acted exactly like Ryan now, and their beliefs were distorted in fanaticism.
The Lord of the Morning taught them to act justly and to always maintain hope, never teaching them to bring despair to others.
Thinking of this, Allen clenched his fists and said to Arthur Lane: "Your Majesty, your descendants have turned the Lane Empire into another look. They are becoming more and more like the tyrants you resisted back then. If Lane really can't Looking back, I will use all my strength to overthrow this decadent empire."
By the end of the sentence, Allen was already kneeling on the ground, not daring to look up at the heroic spirit Arthur again.
Telling Arthur Lane that he wanted to overthrow the Lane Empire was probably the craziest thing Allen had ever done in his life. This is Arthur Lane, the hero he has admired since he was a child, and the greatest saint. By saying this, does it constitute blasphemy against this hero?
However, Allen's expected reproach did not appear. On the contrary, Arthur Lane patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you can stick to your position, then Lane may still have a chance to be rescued. Allen, how are you going to overturn it?" This empire?"
Allen raised his head in surprise. He did not expect that the Holy King who single-handedly created the Ryan Empire would agree with his position. This would overthrow Ryan.
After being shocked, Allen fell into confusion again because he didn't know how to answer Arthur Lane's question.
How to overthrow the Lion Empire? This is the most powerful empire on the mainland, and Allen is just a paladin who has just stepped into the legendary rank.
Alan replied shamefully: "I, I don't know."
Arthur Lane did not blame Allen, but comforted him: "Don't feel guilty. There is no school in the world that teaches people how to overthrow the country. When I was your age, I was still hanging out on the streets, and I was still a long way from becoming a legend. It's a long way off. Your starting point is already higher than mine, and I believe you won't be any worse than me.
"If you don't know where to start, tell me, why did you burn down the armory and the granary?"
Allen could only tell Arthur Lane about Lane's upcoming invasion of Unclean Ode, and doing so was the only way.
Arthur Lane shook his head and said: "Although I don't know much about the current Lane Empire, I guess such behavior will not be very effective. Why don't you choose an upright approach?"
"Upright?" Allen frowned and said strangely: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
At this time, Amber Xiu said: "He asked you to go directly outside Liuyan City, loudly declare the mistakes of this war, and urge the iron-blooded general not to commit heinous war crimes."
Allen glared at Amber Xiu: "Can you please stop interrupting and talk nonsense?"
Just go outside the city and yell? The Iron-Blooded General simply had people bombard him with magic cannons. This would be more useless than burning down the warehouse, right?
What shocked Allen was that Arthur Lane not only did not refute, but instead said in agreement: "This lich knows better than you. You should do what he said and put your thoughts and positions at all." Tell everyone without reservation. Of course, I am not asking you to risk your life to make a speech. Now is not the time to sacrifice, but the legendary level paladin is not so easy to kill, right? After that, ordinary dragons are no longer a threat to me."
Allen was silent, not knowing how to answer this question.
Only Amber Xiu said without hesitation: "Arthur, the paladins of today are incomparable to the paladins of the past. During the Dragon War, they were the ones who were overrun and crushed by others. A friend of mine There is nothing they can do to kill the Lion Empire."
Allen gave Amber Xiu a hard look, but couldn't refute.
That Headless Horseman was truly a disgrace to the Empire.
After being given the sword by Amber Xiu in Silvermoon Highgarden, Allen fought many times with Gareth, but in the end he still failed to force him to use his full strength, and was suppressed by the headless horseman throughout the whole process. However, Allen was not completely devoid of progress. In the last game with Gareth, he finally used his weapon.
It was a four-meter-long knife burning with purple magic flame. Gareth knocked Allen away with just one knife and lay on the ground for a long time without getting up.
Allen still remembers Gareth's last words: "Given you another thirty years, you should be able to have a good fight with me and live well, boy."
Seeing Allen's embarrassment, Arthur Lane did not trample on the young man's self-esteem with Ambrose, so he changed the subject and said: "It doesn't matter, personal force is not actually very important. Allen, you have to remember, a Human power cannot overthrow this empire. You need companions, and I don’t mean friends here, but people who share your goals.
"If you don't tell everyone your ambition, who can be like-minded with you? Allen, the first thing I teach you is to tell everyone your philosophy and find your companions. If everything is as you said, Then I think there must be a large number of people like you in the empire. Maybe they just missed an opportunity to push them to resist, and you should be this opportunity.
"The power of ideas is more powerful than pure force. Our original plan was to unite forces from all over the world to defeat the dragon clan and completely overthrow the dragon clan's rule. Some of my companions and I were only responsible for delaying the dragon tyrant and preventing him from affecting other battlefields. I Although I haven’t seen the end, it seems that this strategy should be successful.”
When Amberxiu heard this, he said in surprise: "No wonder I felt something was wrong when I read the history books. Why should the dragon tyrant challenge you to a duel? Even if he loses the artifact, no one can catch him and fly away to the mainland with a flap of his wings." Go on, it turns out that was the last battle to make a comeback.”
Arthur Lane shook his head and said: "If our plan finally comes true, the tyrant will not be able to overturn the situation. Even if he kills me, the result will be the same, because there are more strong men waiting for him. Without the entire Dragon Clan, Support, he lost the artifact to reverse time, and the result was only defeat."
After talking about this past incident, Arthur Lane said to Allen again: "Alan, remember, you just want more people to understand your proposition and let them work with you, but you don't think that everything is just You can accomplish it. You are just one of the people fighting for the world. You may be more capable, but you should never ignore the role of your companions, let alone regard yourself as the absolute center.
"What really brings strength is not you as a person, but your ideas. People will die, but the belief will be passed on. Only by doing this can you possibly overthrow the current Ryan. Think carefully and figure out yourself ideas and pass them on!”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I..." Allen felt that his chest was blocked by something, and he couldn't speak at all. He could only nod vigorously with tears in his eyes.
As expected, he was worthy of being a Holy King. Before, Allen only wanted to change the world, but had no idea how to start. Arthur Lane pointed the way for him in a few words. What really matters is not the individual, but finding more people who think like him.
Amber Xiu also felt a little emotional. As expected of a rebel professional, this move really hit the mark.
Ryan is too powerful and cannot be broken from the outside. External pressure will make them put aside all differences and become more united, which can only disintegrate from the inside.
Amber said to Allen: "Okay, now that you have learned it, go to work, I won't keep you."
The space crack opened, and Amber was about to drive him away.
But Allen did not leave immediately, but said to Amber very seriously: "Can you let His Majesty the Holy King go free? Please."
Amber laughed and said: "Yes, I offered your father a price of one trillion gold coins or dragon weapons. If you can take it out, I will trade with you at any time."
Alan grasped the hilt of the sword at his waist. He really couldn't help but want to duel with Amber.
Other things are easy to talk about, but Arthur Ryan's heroic spirit is too important. How can his Majesty's heroic spirit be imprisoned by a lich?
Seeing the two men on the verge of a fight, Arthur Ryan said quickly: "Alan, don't be impulsive. I don't think that Mr. Lich is imprisoning me. On the contrary, he rescued me from the endless cage and let me meet my old friend. I am very grateful to him. I can understand your thoughts, but there is no need. What you should do now is to save your world, not to care about me, a dead soul in the old world."
Alan was silent for a long time, and finally turned and left Amberxiu's private space.
When Alan left, Amberxiu couldn't help but say to Arthur Ryan: "I didn't expect that you would speak for me. I really treated you as a commodity. You should know that, right?"
Arthur Ryan said indifferently: "I know, but I don't care much about your purpose. I only know that you are helping others save the world. Master Ultraman, no matter how much you love money, all your actions can be called justice and kindness. By the way, are you interested in believing in the Holy Light?"
Amberxiu: ...
