Chapter 1,217 Another Story

In fact, I really wanted to turn on the data terminal and broadcast the whole process live to my sister. I guess this would put a lot of pressure on Turazzo, and then our negotiations would be much smoother, but I forgot about it later - my sister said that she was busy cooking. Now, in the elder sister's mind, preparing food for the useless fox and making snacks for Little Paopao are obviously much more important. The fate of the entire Melova family is not as good as the plate of shredded pork with Beijing sauce in her old man's hand...

"Let's not talk about the extermination order now or when the imperial army will launch an attack." I sat opposite Turazzo and looked at the pale old man in front of me. I intuitively told myself that the Merova people are more troublesome than others. It was even more complicated than I expected before, and there might be hidden secrets in it - probably not enough for Sandora to revoke the extermination order, but it might also lead to a certain turning point in the incident. I was struggling with how to say, "This resistance What's going on with the organization? Are you leading these natives to resist you? Don't worry, please speak slowly, I feel very confused now..."

Turazzo's lips trembled twice, and he seemed to be slightly hesitant, but he was obviously a little different from the two Merova prisoners we captured before - this should not be a staunch anti-imperialist, and he suddenly saw him just now The image of his elder sister also had a great impact on him, so without much effort, Turazzo spoke: "This resistance organization was established thousands of years ago. I founded it because... I have already cooperated with Barian is completely broken.”

I suddenly realized that my top priority was to quickly match these new names, so I turned to look at Pandora: "Who is that Barian? What did this Turazzo do back then?"

"The two leaders of the Merova people," Pandora said calmly, "We reorganized the social structure of the Merova people and made their two supreme marshals the military and political leaders. Turazo and Barian are my Hand-selected, the latter takes charge of the military.”

"Um... we had a good relationship back then? Or was there a gap a long time ago? What are the characteristics of the two of them?" I couldn't help but ask again. Pandora's boring personality is like this. She hardly takes the initiative to speak. If she wants to speak, you can only ask her. Answer. Don’t say anything superfluous - I often get scratched when talking to her, but after you throw out a secret, you can explain it a little bit!

"It is said that they are brothers, but I don't know the specific situation," Pandora said numbly. "What their personal lives are like does not affect the war. Anyway, they are all arranged by the Imperial Military Department for the servant army."

I'm speechless. This is really a Pandora-style way of thinking: It doesn't matter what they do normally, as long as it doesn't affect the war. In fact, the old empire's level of concern for the servant army was basically the same: it was limited to whether they would escape after going to the battlefield. Apart from that, let go of everything else, so Pandora probably doesn’t know much about the two of them.

Now it seems that the identity of the old man in front of me is really extraordinary. He had close contact with the high-level officials of the empire as the leader of Merova in the old empire. So as one of the two leaders, he was in Merova What role did he play in the Wa rebellion?

"Treason..." Turazzo's voice was very low, and he seemed to have temporarily calmed down from the huge shock just now. Although his face is still pale, his expression has become calm. I am not sure whether this calmness is barely disguised. I can only be sure that this old man will tell us many things, "I never thought that I would actually embark on this journey." The road...General, yes, the entire Melova clan has rebelled. If you appear here, you must have seen the current situation of the home planet, yes. That is what we did. I will not defend myself."

The other party admitted very frankly, but it was all things we had already mastered, so Sandora just nodded and didn't say much. Pandora stood next to me with a blank expression. She didn't express any opinions on this occasion - —In fact, she never expressed her opinion on any occasion...

"What did you do after treason? How did you end up here?" I looked at Turazzo, "You can tell me as much as you want. I think you seem to be different from other Merova people. Maybe you can still communicate with each other. value."

Turazzo seemed to smile indifferently upon hearing my words. But the amplitude is very weak. He leaned on the chair and didn't seem to want to hide anything: "After...the treason. We took the things we got from the capital of the Fifteenth District and fled the imperial territory. At that time, we just wanted to escape as far away as possible, because We know that 80% of the empire has become a purgatory, more dangerous than any battlefield, and this purgatory is still spreading at an unimaginable speed, and may even break through the border barrier... We have traveled hundreds of Each world jumps in a direction away from the empire's border, and each time they arrive, they try to survive there, but... this is extremely difficult. Not only is the fear and uneasiness that always hangs over the hearts of the entire clan, but also because of the various An existential challenge."

"After breaking away from the control of the empire, you did not gain freedom. Instead, you put on a new layer of shackles. At the same time..." Sandora glanced at Turazzo, "Your technology tree collapsed, right?"

"That's it," Turazzo nodded lightly. "We are tortured by a huge sense of urgency and a persecutory delusion that almost spreads to the entire race. In the first few hundred years, one-fifth of our population even suffered from hallucinations. Disease - As the first Familia back then, we personally carried out extermination orders and various similar orders of destruction on behalf of our masters. The thought that the same thing might happen to us at any time makes people shudder. This kind of panic makes us It is almost impossible to stay in any world for a long time. This is a secondary reason. More importantly, our own technology has long been gone. When escaping from the empire, almost everything we had on hand was 'brought' from the empire or relied on Made by Imperial technology, we know how to use them, but most people don't know how to copy these devices. We also have our own scholars, but these scholars are just trained by the Empire so that we can maintain the equipment ourselves to save them time. , they spent the first tens of thousands of years trying their best to relearn superficial knowledge, just hoping to know how to let the colonial equipment of the Faith-class starship open the door without permission - in the process, Ba Ryan and I went to two extremes.

"I began to feel confused and question the decision I made back then, and Barian became paranoid - I know this old friend very well. He feels fear more easily than I do, and the stronger the fear, the more he grows obsessed with the empire. He believed that the Empire had destroyed everything, and gradually regarded this as the only truth in the world. In addition, he no longer believed anyone who disagreed with him, and even believed that conservatives among us were 'influenced by the Empire' The long-term influence of the Psychic Raiders, who had been brainwashed into being loyal Imperial lackeys, he began to systematically eliminate conservatives and cultivate radicals, and eventually, he noticed that the differences between his brothers and himself were irreparable. -He kicked me out."

"Then you got angry and established a resistance organization?" I asked curiously.

Turazzo shook his head: "No. That will happen later. After Barian completely killed the conservatives, we still have not settled down and are still drifting. At that time, even though I was exiled, I did not completely reconcile with Barian. Ryan's confrontation. What changed everything was a series of so-called 'major breakthroughs', or what Barry Ryan calls the 'golden century' era.

Without the control of the conservatives, Barian became unprecedentedly powerful. Ironically, he insisted that the empire was a tyrant and butcher, but after gaining 'freedom', he, a determined 'liberator of the people', began to be more cruel than the empire. , his uneasiness reached the extreme, so he ordered all Merova civilians to be 'treated' (at this time I remembered the two Merova prisoners of war who had obviously been transformed). And one enacted and passed the ‘New Colonial Act’. In the same year, due to concentrating the strength of the entire clan for tens of thousands of years of cracking, we finally learned some key basic technologies, and at the same time opened a small database brought back from the Fifteenth Sky Area. In this way, Ba Ryan believed that the Merovans had finally broken the shackles on themselves. He ordered that the imperial emblems on all spaceships be erased and replaced with the 'sacred logo' of his own design, announcing that the Merovans had defeated and destroyed 'Enemy' from time immemorial. After discovering a livable world. He immediately ordered the implementation of his 'neo-colonial act' - the destruction of indigenous civilizations. Brainwash into a slave race and violently transform the environment. The fleet docked and established what is now the Holy Empire..."

"I was afraid of being bullied by the empire, so I turned around and bullied civilizations that were weaker than myself, and got worse." Lin Xue remained silent, and then made a comment lightly.

"Sometimes, newly freed slaves are a hundred times crazier than those who have just lost their freedom, especially when they have not forgotten the taste of whips." Sandora shook her head. "They are restless, fearful, nervous, and full of hatred. , they had nowhere to vent, and they were eager to prove their identity as free people, so they finally chose to become new and more vivid slave owners."

Turazzo's expression is very subtle...

"Then what is the situation on this planet? Forget about the bad things back then, and focus on the resistance organization and your plans here - well, I mean Barian's plan." I thought of it. Anulili and the others, this race brainwashed by the Merova people, is indeed a bit strange. The Merova people seem to regard themselves as gods, but the most they manage on this planet is a place that allows them to free themselves. It's just a big theater. The power of the real gods has nothing to do with the worship of these indigenous people. Sandora and I agree that this planet must have a deeper role, but no clues have been found so far.

"Many years before the establishment of the resistance organization, I had been completely pushed out of the core by Barian," Turazzo said with a sad look on his face. "So I don't know his true plan, but what is certain is that he He cultivated three slave donor planets similar to this one. These places were not just to satisfy his twisted delusions of god: he formed a special secret agency to extract slave donor planets from these slave donor planets in very precise quantities and cycles. He took away a group of people and sent them to the capital planet. I am sure that these people were used by him to complete a big project... But the power at hand is already too meager and I am unable to do it. Understanding what Barian is doing, the capital planet known as the 'Kingdom of Gods' is an extremely tightly guarded restricted area. Barian leaves all sensitive tasks to his puppet men who are completely brainwashed to complete, and he personally supervises the entire process. All infiltrations All plans failed, I couldn't even place a janitor in his palace. As for the story of the natives of this planet..."

Turazzo paused, as if this history was quite unpleasant. He pondered for a while before speaking: "They were the former masters of this universe, a civilization with highly advanced technology and unusual unity. They spread throughout the universe, and they are everywhere. Every corner of the world once had their glorious kingdom... After we discovered that this universe with basic laws is very suitable for our own survival, Barian's minions pretended to have friendly contact with these indigenous people and declared themselves to be a traveling ancient civilization. In use After deceiving the other party's trust with some tricks on cross-world technology, he started the massacre. Whether he could jump out of the universe and challenge the void was a dividing line like a chasm. In front of this dividing line, the local indigenous people's desperate resistance had no effect. In the end, they still They were all slaughtered. I tried my best to stop this crazy 'neo-colonial movement', but Barian had all the troops in his hands. In the end, I only kept a little bit of fire and the local indigenous civilization information, and their last A fortress battleship.

"This shelter in the center of the earth is actually the fortress battleship."

Turazzo exhaled and announced that his story was over. The experience of the Merova people after their rebellion, what happened in this world, and the unknown secrets within the rebels are all presented to us.

Pandora glanced at Turazzo and said coldly: "In terms of military talent, you were defeated by Barian just like before."

Turazzo's face became more and more embarrassed. After thinking about it, I thought it was the same. Faced with the crazy massacre sweeping the universe, the old man fought bravely. After a hard struggle that may last several years, he finally successfully rescued a ship... This is basically the same "outstanding achievement" as when an international cruise ship hit the ice and sank, and the rescue team successfully rescued the captain's parrot after 48 hours of search and rescue. Although there was a reason why Barian controlled the entire army, before that, Turazzo was one of the two leaders. It's okay to be suppressed to this point.

Pandora said a word, and the old man in front of him was trained like a grandson... Of course, in terms of age, I guess Turazzo is not necessarily older than Pandora - of course, if we don't pursue this topic in depth, it will easily irritate the person next to him. The height problem of dwarf winter melon.

"That is to say, you don't know what Barian plans to do with these three planets, but you can be sure that this place is definitely not for pleasure." Sandora looked into Barian's eyes, "I don't understand. Now that you have embarked on this road. Why did you suddenly wake up - as a traitor, it is not a smart move to break directly with the strong leader of the same rebel camp. And this resistance organization. How did you come up with this? motivation?"

"A sudden awakening?" Turazzo repeated these four words calmly, "No, this has nothing to do with a sudden awakening, it's just that Barian himself fell into the abyss. At first, we chose treason, just hoping to gain racial freedom and become stronger power, and out of long-standing resentment against the empire, but Barian amplified all of this. After the collapse of the empire, he began to expand, until now he believes that since he has defeated the gods, he should become the new one. God…”

"Haha, you are so funny for defeating the gods!" The eldest lady burst out laughing suddenly. This laughter made Turazuo look over in confusion: "General Reki, is this funny? Xiling The Apostle was once considered a type of true god, but now Barian believes that the Merova people have the ability to replace them. I admit that this is based on arrogance and self-aggrandizement, but I don’t think it is to the point of being funny.”

The eldest lady shook her head disdainfully: "Defeat the gods? Primitive people thought that they could defeat gods with a stick that was huge enough and strong enough. People in the Iron Age thought that they could pierce the body of gods with spears that were sharp enough. When you have Religion, you think you can hurt God by smearing blood on the blade. When you have nuclear weapons, you think nuclear bombs can destroy all spiritual idols... You will always be self-inflated, and you will never see the obvious boundaries due to self-expansion. There are too many unnecessary imaginations added to 'gods', but none of them are relevant. You don't even understand what the word 'god' means. You think that you can defeat the gods because you are good at fighting - that's it. , you will never understand what God means.”

Turazzo was once again lectured into silence by Lin Xue, the "Reki" in his eyes. I realized one thing. I thought back when the Merova people were still working hard for the empire, this Turazzo Definitely more obedient than Barian...

"I haven't said anything yet. Why did you think of establishing such a resistance organization?" Sandora asked again.

"This is normal, isn't it," Turazzo shrugged. "Barian is following the old path of the empire, and it's getting worse. I can't let him continue like this. Except for the civilization in front of me that has been suppressed back to the feudal era. , Barian also conquered every nearby world and formed a huge slave army - his own 'servant army' system. These races are basically controlled by his brainwashing or high-pressure policies, but almost every civilization has them. Resistance organizations exist. Resistance will never die anywhere. As long as tyranny still exists, there will be people who resist, even if Barian spreads his nerve agent all over the planet, the result will be the same. The only thing that is special is this civilization The leader of the resistance organization happens to be me."

"Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance," Sandora said with emotion, "Yes, the old empire was so strong, but in the end, Merova was born."

Turazzo’s expression is subtle again…
