Chapter 252: Everyone Has a Copy of "Xana Quotations" (1/2)
Three years after the Queen of Eternal Night and Roger visited the target plane B.
The existence of the Tianming Army was suppressed. In the cognition of most people, this world is still ruled by gods, and the church and the nobles occupy the most mainstream influence.
Most of the lambs who are suffering are still contributing their labor and faith day and night to seek a chance of survival in the dark exploitation without light, and they have no idea when they can survive the end of suffering.
Perhaps, we can only put everything on the afterlife, and welcome a glimmer of hope in the world after death?
In the deep mountains, the vibrant base has gathered more than one million people. Now it is a city, the military center of the Tianming Army, and the holy city in the hearts of countless sufferers. It is called Chuanhuo City.
Spreading the sparks, in the long cold night, even if there is only a little remaining fire under the ashes, it is enough to let those who have never touched hope have a little expectation for the future.
Chuanhuo City is not a mainstream city in this era. In order to deal with the siege of the church and the nobles, it is militarized and fortified. The surface part is high walls and cannons, energy supply towers, and a maze-like street fighting slaughterhouse.
The main population lives underground, and the supporting living facilities, factories, and farms are all built in the thick mountains underground to prevent the increasingly upgraded divine attacks of the church.
Hollowing out the mountains to build a city with a population of one million is definitely a long-term and miraculous project even on modern Earth.
From design to construction, it is necessary to mobilize an unimaginable number of labor and mobilize a large amount of materials.
There are also countless technical difficulties that need to be overcome to complete the population carrying capacity of one million, as well as transportation and logistics channels with the outside world.
The consumption of food, clothing, and daily necessities for one hundred people is definitely a terrifying number. Even if the city has established production facilities to maximize self-sufficiency and form a material cycle, the technology possessed by the Tianming Army cannot completely get rid of the dependence on trade.
And such an underground city must also have a complete medical system.
From physical to psychological, solve a series of problems brought about by people's long-term survival and labor underground.
After all, the human body is not evolved for living underground. There are too many differences between the underground and surface environments. Not all races are willing to give up their original racial characteristics to adapt to the dark region like the dark elves.
Even under the influence of divine power, magic power and other forces, the speed of racial mutation and adaptation in this world is much faster than that on Earth. Three years is not enough for the target B plane race to transform into a cave dwelling state.
More importantly, living underground for many years, the Tianming Army military government uniformly plans life and production, and implements semi-military management, which also puts great psychological pressure on the people under its rule.
Carrying the enemy's constant encirclement and suppression, facing sacrifices again and again, the residents of Chuanhuo City have always maintained a very high level of efficiency in combat and production, and have become more and more skilled, showing an optimistic expectation for future life. It has to be said that it is a performance that is almost a miracle.
This is the morale that can only be shown by the Crusaders of the Holy See and the core guards of the nobility.
Even if the comprehensive combat level, professional level, and individual combat effectiveness are considered, the soldiers in the base who were just ordinary people before still cannot gain an advantage in the face of the elite strongmen accumulated over a long period of time in this world.
But they never gave up fighting, were not afraid of any head-on battle, and showed unparalleled resilience.
Whether the enemy was the Church of the God of War or the other church coalition forces that came to join in the fun, they all fell under the three-dimensional combat system of the Tianming Army and the people.
Although they had been suppressing the news to prevent more untouchables from knowing the existence of the Tianming Army and Chuanhuo City.
But the church also showed great admiration for the Tianming Army, which used messy weapons, ugly uniforms, and even the best equipment was stolen from them.
They relied on the most rudimentary conditions, but they had been defending for three years, and they could continue to grow and develop during the intervals of the attack. They were as tenacious as weeds, and they would grow wildly if they got a little chance.
The lowest level of Chuanhuo City.
An office that looked so simple that it was sad belonged to Shana, who was known as the Tianming mentor and was respected by all the soldiers and affiliated residents of the entire Tianming Army.
All the people in the Tianming Army no longer believe in God, but they have a fanatical faith in their hearts that is no less than the most devout believers, that is the hope that Shana brings them and the promising future.
Now Chuanhuo City has also been set up in the Fearless Space. Although not everyone is equipped with a virtual soul bracelet, at least the administrative office is all online, which is faster and more convenient, which is far more efficient than the church and the noble territory.
Shana is online at this moment, holding a discussion meeting on the development direction of the base in the next three years.
Outside the office, Roger has been patiently waiting for Shana to finish his heavy official business, and then knocked on the door and came in. He looked around the furnishings here and couldn't help but sighed:
"It's still like this here? It's completely different from your research institute in Aodu. Is the situation still so difficult now?"
Shana was a little embarrassed. When she was still in Aodu, she lived a life of drinking and drinking today. Her research was unprecedentedly successful and she got endless investment and funds in her hands.
She is not like Frankenstein, Lydia and others. She is a research institute affiliated with the Secret Society. The largest shareholder is the Queen of Eternal Night. She has a completely private research institute and has absolute control over the capital injections.
As long as she wanted, it was completely equivalent to personal wealth, so during that time, Shana lived a very luxurious life. She liked to buy things to pass the time, and the decoration of the research institute was no worse than those traditional aristocratic castles.
That period of time is now a black history for her. She glared at Roger and deliberately did not answer:
"The situation is much better, but the expenses required in all aspects are still huge. As for me, I can just rest. I don't need those messy things... Speaking of which, why did you come to my place again?"
"It's the Imperial New Year. I'm sending you a New Year's gift." Roger took out a well-wrapped gift box.
"New Year... I understand. Your Majesty is celebrating. You have nowhere to go, so you come to me for refuge!"
"I think I'm really miserable now, and I don't have the boring mood to give gifts to others."
He pretended to put the box away, and Shana said quickly: "No, no, I'm super happy to see you remember me during the New Year. Otherwise, the customs and calendars of the two worlds are different, and I'm super lonely!"
Seeing that she was becoming more and more spineless, Roger suddenly felt bored. He handed the box to her, sat casually on the chair opposite her, and sighed helplessly.
Shana happily took the gift box. She didn't have many friends, most of whom were followers of this world and would not celebrate the New Year in the Eternal Night World, so the gift Roger brought was still precious to her.
She opened the gift box, and inside was a book with a big red cover. She couldn't help but widen her eyes: "Xana Quotations? Wait, I didn't say these words at all!"
She flipped through a few pages casually. Not to mention the old-fashioned cover design, the embarrassing title of the book, the content inside...
It was completely fabricated and forced on her!
Roger laughed sarcastically: "Didn't you publish a book called "Theology of Gods" a few days ago? It does explain the relationship between gods, nobles, and believers very clearly, but such a book is actually too profound. This book should be spread much more widely."
Xana quickly flipped through the "Xana Quotations" and accepted Roger's statement:
"Okay, I admit that "Theology of Gods" was originally intended to make the Tianming Army better understand our thoughts and then spread them out, but the effect was not good. Yours is much more suitable. But this name is too embarrassing, isn't it?"
She is not the kind of narcissistic person. When she is still alive, she will feel embarrassed to see others summarizing their quotations, and maybe there will be an autobiography in the future.
"Is there any name more appealing than yours in the entire Tianming Army? Only by putting on your mentor's name will most people want to read it."
Roger is very confident, this is a practical operation.
"The Theory of the Gods" is more inclined to professional argumentative documents. For the soldiers and civilians of the Tianming Army who barely completed literacy, it is profound and complex, and it is too difficult to read.
Compared to the quotation style, it is much simpler. Many conclusions are directly written as words that seem very reasonable and sharp. You can also know the grassroots officers of the Tianming Army who prioritize civilization and understand many of their decisions:
"A route, an experience, must be talked about frequently and repeatedly. It is not enough to only tell a few people, but to make the masses know it."
"In a class society, everyone lives in a certain class status, and all kinds of thoughts are stamped with class marks."
"Revolution is not a dinner party, not an article. Revolution is a riot, a violent action by one class to overthrow another class."
Many things in it are mentioned in "The Theory of the Gods", but the statement and strength are several levels lower.
The most simple language contains the most profound truth. Knowing that the Tianming Army continues to fight the enemy and maintains a clear direction of advancement, this is the communication value of "Xana Quotations".
She is no longer the frivolous girl she used to be. More than three years of leadership responsibilities have made her grow significantly. She can also think about problems from the perspective of ordinary people very skillfully. She soon understood the value of the book Roger brought out.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being the creator of "New Arcane". He is really good at creating such widely disseminated content.
"I will arrange for publication and distribution as soon as possible. Thank you." Shana was very moved and regretted mocking Roger for coming to seek refuge.
Even if that was true, it would be very bad to hurt him directly. He also brought him a very important gift.
However, he had nothing to give in return.
"You're welcome. If you develop well here, the empire will be able to copy your homework."
Roger smiled. In fact, he was just sorting out the sundries in the system treasure box a few days ago. He turned out a book with a red cover and didn't remember when he opened it.
At that time, I thought it would not be useful, but when I thought about the work that Shana was doing, I immediately found that this thing was very suitable for her.
After some modification and deletion, those contents that did not fit this world were deleted, and the remaining contents about struggle were really very suitable for the Tianming Army to resist the church and the nobles.
Thinking about it, Roger felt a little helpless again.
However, his career developed smoothly, and the situation on the fronts controlled by the empire was also very good, but his personal time to return to the empire was getting less and less.
At this moment, thousands of families were celebrating the New Year, but he could only go to another world and huddle with a few Shanas who did not celebrate the New Year.
It was miserable just to think about it!
"Speaking of which, Your Majesty, are you still unwilling to see you?" Shana noticed Roger's low mood, opened a bottle of wine, and asked in a low voice.
Roger drank half a glass and smiled bitterly: "She is still hiding from me. I can only hope that Tai Bella will be more powerful. We must meet in the decisive battle, right?"
"We have received another batch of rebels who have fled. Take as many people as you can absorb."
"Well, I like this return gift very much."
"It's not a return gift... Forget it, whatever you think."
Shana was also a little powerless. To be honest, he didn't know what was in his head.
This guy's mind was not on him at all. He helped him increase his military strength to narrow the distance between him and the Queen of Eternal Night, but he was really cheap!
Now Roger is leading the Second Fleet of the Empire, which has expanded to a level far beyond a fleet.
He now has twelve God's Evils, auxiliary and escort ships of various levels, with a total force of nearly 500,000 people, active in the plane battlefield, and is one of the mosquito groups that Tai Bella is most worried about.
The Second Fleet uses the elite of the empire as a legion and builds a command system, but the basic source of soldiers comes from different worlds.
Among the progressive people who see through the essence of the gods, there are those believers of the new gods who were scattered, and there are sons of the system.
Among them, the most are soldiers sent from the base of Shana, who cannot be raised but have combat awareness.
Their first wish is to defend their homes, but Chuanhuo City does not need so many people to defend it.
I heard that Roger is recruiting soldiers to defeat more churches, which can also attract many people to join his fleet.
Continuously operating and expanding the Second Fleet, and establishing many organizations like the Tianming Army, which have become production and supply bases, Roger is now a vassal who has left the Qingteng Empire. In the eyes of many people who know the true strength of his subordinates, this duke already has the capital to be independent.
But his original intention was not to establish an armed regime, but to have a bigger bargaining chip in the decisive battle with Tai Bella, and to cooperate with the Queen of Eternal Night. At that time, they could at least meet, right?
In the past three years, the Queen of Eternal Night was really cruel, and she tried every reason to avoid his presence.
Roger made up a hundred thousand reasons to ask for a meeting, but all of them fell into the sea and had no effect.
So this is the crematorium for chasing his wife?
"Be good, be good, it will be soon. Tai Bella's little temper can't be tolerated for long."
Shana said firmly.
At this time, Windsor initiated an emergency communication with a panic expression:
"Lord Luo, the goddess of war has arrived, and the capital has been lost..."
The dark elves' "New Year's Offensive" started without any warning.
