Chapter 1,233 The Twilight of the Tyrant
Resistance is the innate power of intelligent creatures. It does not need guidance, it only needs sufficient oppression.
The Merova people's thousands of years of brainwashing and mental slavery policies cannot fundamentally change the nature of life. The group of fanatical believers they established using nerve agents and brainwave suppression devices has no foundation at all. This is a castle-like rule. Structure, loyalty and trust are entirely based on fear and illusion. Once these illusions are forcibly dispelled by more powerful forces, humans who have gained the ability to think freely will never tolerate unwarranted tyranny - when Melova The moment humans sent "admonishers" to massacre innocent slave races, the slave fleets that had just gained free will were immediately activated by anger.
The Merova people only distorted their thoughts of loyalty, but failed to distort their normal human emotions. Even slaves could not tolerate the sight of their homeland being trampled in this way.
In fact, the Merova people have always been doing this, but their atrocities were previously covered up with nerve agents, brainwashing methods, and high-sounding "loving" speeches, but now Barian has taken off the last fig leaf and intensified all the atrocities. Putting the ground on the table, he seemed to have completely distrusted his slave soldiers. Faced with the huge pressure brought by the imperial army, he actually believed that the priority of maintaining his rule was to eliminate "potential traitors" first. Not to mention that Turazzo was right: from the moment of treason, Barian was already mad.
Sooner or later, the Merova people will take action against their own slave race. This is what we expected from the beginning. It can even be said that this is what the imperial army promoted. Because no matter what, as long as the Imperial Army launches an attack, Barian will definitely send the slave fleet to the battlefield. And as long as the slave fleet appears. We must not carry out massacres against these ethnic groups who are originally victims. Therefore, it is inevitable that the slave fleet will receive "special care" from the imperial army on the battlefield. As long as such a situation occurs, Barian will definitely punish the home world of those slave fleets and their compatriots... This is a situation that has long been unavoidable. process, and even if the confrontation between the Imperial Army and the Merova Army is delayed for a while. Turazo will also launch slave riots in multiple worlds, and then there will still be a large-scale bloody suppression by the Merova people. No matter what, these slave races must undergo a tragic sacrifice in exchange for freedom. Occasionally I feel depressed because of this, but there's nothing I can do about it. Any freedom comes with a price. There is no heaven falling from the sky - it can only be another cage. These slave races need some pain to stand up again. We have advanced this process, which actually prevents more slave races from being confused. He died ignorantly under the tyranny of the Merovas. Based on Barian's mental state, I even suspect that one day he will regard genocide as a kind of fun. By then, it will be too late for the slaves to resist even if they want to.
When the three slave fleet commanders returned to their ships to reorganize their troops, I came alone to the deepest part of the General City command center, where there was a huge underground building. A solid protective layer wrapped around this metal facility, sinking it deep into the magma of General Star. The building is empty inside. There is only one set of equipment, which is a huge crystal located in the middle of the core hall and a ring of ring amplifiers around the crystal... This crystal is so huge that it can almost be seen as a hill. Surrounding this crystal mountain , there is a buzzing sound lingering. In the past few days, Turazo has used his own channels to spread those resonance crystals across all places where slave races exist, forming a spiritual amplification network that spans thirteen worlds and has hundreds of millions of nodes. The huge crystal in front of you is the control center of all resonance crystals. Sandora's power is gathered on this center. When the energy of the amplification device in this hall reaches its peak, the network will be activated, and every slave's spiritual depth will be forcibly implanted. All foreign ideas will be washed away, and the "sacred rule" that Barian has built for thousands of years will fall apart in an instant.
After that, we will launch a general attack on the Kingdom of God.
"System - startup - synchronizing network -"
The smart host in the hall recognized my operating authority, and according to the set process, it began to wake up twenty-six secondary amplification nodes located on the edge of the local star system. These amplification nodes were grouped in pairs, and communicated with each other through the void channel. The crystal network of a world is connected together, the hum of the equipment charging changes from low to high, and the crystal mountain in front of you also trembles slightly. I looked at the device readings floating next to me. There was a lot of incomprehensible data streams on it, but next to the data stream, there was a big arrow pointing to a button. There was a line of words under the arrow: Wait for the data to turn red. When you click on this button - Sandoraliu.
Me: "..." At this time, I just silently sighed at Sandora's thoughtfulness.
I don’t quite understand the operation process of this high-end equipment, but there is no way. Only I can enter this place, and only I can complete many subsequent operations independently. Sandora’s power is too strong, especially when she is in the glory form. , and such a powerful force is concentrated in such a small hall by a resonance crystal array, one can imagine how abundant the spiritual energy here is. There is a saying: God's power is so strong that even a mortal's eyes will be burned out just by looking at the light. It's a similar situation here. Even if Sandora doesn't take any action, the aura she exudes is fatal. Yes, ordinary creatures will be burned into idiots instantly if they enter within a hundred meters of the crystal. Leaders like Qian Qian and Lin Xue will also feel dizzy here. Only my special physique can be completely immune to this place. environment of. After all, the technology of this resonance network is not very mature. After all, it is a temporary thing we built - if it were not to deal with Barian, the empire would never be interested in creating such a large-scale mind control network, Shan Although Dora is a soul seizer, she hates the use of spiritual slavery to rule people. A normal spiritual apostle will never do anything to those who are loyal to the empire.
When the system started, I checked the temporary network and found some familiar names in the activity list. Apart from Turazzo, the one at the top turned out to be Anulili: the earliest Is one of the indigenous girls we came into contact with now holding the most active position in the resistance front?
"I didn't expect you to be responsible for the external liaison of the resistance organization." I greeted Anulili. Saw her name listed in the liaison officer column. Suddenly he said with some surprise, "Turazzo should have told you the plan, and the network is starting now."
"Yes, the situation here is normal. Several compatriots under observation are 'waking up'," Anulili was wearing a smart uniform, and she was completely different from the rustic girl in a burlap dress. , her now. He looked like a starship commander who had gained experience in the army, "The mentor has contacted several other resistance organizations within the same galaxy. We will launch operations at the same time - destroy the heavy factories and raw materials of the Merova people. Base, cut off their logistics lines. This is the limit of what the slave race can do. We are unable to directly confront their army, or even their disciplined police."
I nodded, these plans were all agreed upon before. When the Turazo operation begins, the Merova people will inevitably shift some of their attention to the planets that launched the rebellion. When they start to act, the Imperial Army will send some "wolf pack" troops that interfere with the line of sight to intervene in these slave planets. . Block the "discipline" work of the Merova people, so that Barian will once again be diverted from part of his attention. At this time, it is time for the real main force to attack the Kingdom of God.
"There will probably be a lot of casualties..." Anulili watched me operate the complicated equipment and suddenly said with some sadness, "I heard that some planets in the far reaches have been disciplined by the Merova people. Attacked, they bombed at will, claiming that it was divine punishment, something like this should happen here soon... If they were sacrificed in the battle of resistance, it would make sense, but before that, many people would probably Being killed in a dazed and confused state... What is this, falling down in the darkness at the last moment before dawn? And there is no way to know the truth until he falls..."
"This is inevitable," I paused what I was doing and sighed, "Perhaps the appearance of the Imperial Army caused many civilians to die early in this liberation war, but if we don't do this, as time goes by, in the future, The more civilians will die, a madman will not stop on his own initiative, and Barian is an extreme madman."
In fact, there is another sentence I didn’t say: Only the death of compatriots can further inspire the spirit of resistance of those slave fleets. This is a very cruel equation. However, in war, many things are so cruel. Life is precious, but for the whole In terms of a war, it can still be weighed.
"Ah, don't mind, I'm not complaining to you or anything," Anulili may have felt a little sorry for her current mental state, so she quickly waved her hand and said, "I was also trained by my mentor, so I still have this knowledge. It's just... After all, they are my compatriots. It is really uncomfortable to see them die in such a numb state. If it were me, I would rather fight and die after knowing the truth than fall down in such a numb state. , which is so regrettable.”
"Then come on, let's work together to get everything over as soon as possible," I breathed out and confirmed that the last set of amplification matrices had been connected online. A process notification from the smart host sounded in the hall: the system startup process was completed, "Now go and notify Turazzo, his work... begins!"
I think Barian must be going through the darkest time in his life right now.
According to the information available, in the battle at the Silver Center, the Merova people invested more than half of their main fleet in the territory. In other words, half of Barian's regular army was lost in one battle. Merova People have spent tens of thousands of years studying Imperial technology and improving their own weapons, but after confronting the real Imperial fleet, these copycat technologies still failed miserably. Such a huge loss made the tyrant furious. He soon learned that the slave fleet was protected by the imperial army during the battle. He firmly believed that the slave race under his rule had betrayed him, so he sent the "Admonisher" ". However, these admonishers helped Turazzo: Turazo collected the atrocities committed by the admonishers and sent them to every resistance organization. This became ironclad evidence enough to arouse the people's anger. At this moment, The psychic power that enveloped the thirteen universes swept away all slave races.
Overnight, trillions of slaves woke up. They woke up from the hallucinations and hypnosis that had imprisoned their entire race for thousands of years, and opened their eyes. Seeing your home being burned down by a mob. Those thugs have a false divine light about them. The glorious battleship carries thousands of twisted evil spirits. The slaves experienced a brief period of confusion, and then became angry under the continued atrocities of the Merovans. Conflicts began to break out sporadically without any organization, but the instructors of the Merovans did not care at all - such chaos It lasted for about two days with delicate balance and tolerance from all parties. Turazzo believed that the time had come, the anger had been accumulated, and the Merova people were temporarily dazzled by the pleasure of cathartic violence, so under his instruction. Countless organized, armed, and even armed resistance groups composed of local indigenous people have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain!
Barian and his eagle dogs never knew the existence of these resistance organizations. They always thought that the resistance behavior that occurred on the slave planet was "the conditioned reflex of animals when they feel pain." They did not even realize in time that their brainwashing effect had ended. The effect of causing slave clusters to riot is better than we expected.
On a slave planet far away from the Kingdom of God, an armed troop carrier full of "discipline police" was attacked by strong firepower when it arrived in orbit. All the Merovans and the spacecraft on the troop carrier became Fireworks in space, and what launched the attack was a group of slave fleets that disappeared with the Imperial Army during the Galactic Battle four days ago and now suddenly returned.
This was the first Merova warship to be destroyed by a slave attack. Immediately afterwards, the first group of fully armed rebels appeared on the planet. These rebels angrily and decisively attacked the "Grand Temple" set up by the Merova people on the planet. After leaving thousands of corpses behind, they detonated a bomb that killed the entire temple - this was the first slave to be enslaved. The destroyed Merova ruling body. When the news spread throughout the world, secretly promoted by Merova's conservative military officer organization, the resistance movement reached its climax - and Barian fell into rage.
He began to gather more disciplined police and even a small number of regular troops to launch a "heretic purge" against the slave planet. He had to do this because the slaves had begun to attack all raw material production areas and heavy factories. Slaves refused to work, smashed machines, and even used rudimentary tools to defy their overseers—they even succeeded in killing a few of them. The situation became increasingly chaotic, and Barian found that he would soon lose all basic industries and raw material supplies. He had to focus on the planets that launched the rebellion - but there were so many planets that launched the rebellion that almost Rebellions broke out everywhere there were slaves, and finally the Merovans' otherwise efficient governing body began to stagnate.
Every planet is in turmoil, and all the basic industries supported by the slave race have been shut down almost overnight. Barian has begun a nationwide violent and bloody suppression. However, the previously invincible means of suppression have failed this time: gaining the ability to think freely. The slaves are not stupid, they know that the arrival of the day of freedom also means there is no turning back. They know their tyrant very well: whether they resist or not, they will inevitably die in the end. So the slaves rose up and bravely fought against the overseers and slave owners. As Anulili said, there were huge casualties in this process. The slaves who resisted were suppressed almost as if they were massacred at first. But after just a few days, the situation changed slightly. The Merova slave owners They were horrified to find that the number of armed "thugs" they had to face was increasing. The slaves did not know where they got a large amount of arms. They were arming themselves in large quantities and cooperated with the "radical thugs" that had sprung up like mushrooms in the past few days. Although the "militant faction" actions are unorganized and blind, their overwhelming numbers still make the Merova people confused: the latter have lived in a comfortable time for too long, so that in some places, they are now reduced to only three or two The Merova overseer's outpost was attacked by tens of thousands of armed slaves. In this case, Barian quickly lost his mines and primary metal processing plants - he could no longer repair his main fleet.
It is necessary to mention those highly active "radical armed organizations". These resistance groups organized by local indigenous people have taken root deeper than we imagined and spread wider than expected. It is difficult to imagine how they They have been lurking under the noses of the Merova people for so many years, and have also planted such a large number of undercover agents in the slave society. Moreover, just like Anulili's resistance organization, they have found ways to gradually reduce the dosage of medication and weak vaccines. The methods used to eliminate the brainwashing effect are the same. It seems that every resistance organization has its own method to deal with the mind control of the Merova people. The Merova people use different brainwashing methods for each race, and the drugs are also very different, but all the resistance organizations have found the "antidote" in a very targeted manner. In addition, what is even more subtle is the appearance of armed slaves: the weapons of slaves did not come out of thin air. After the emergence of resistance groups of their respective races, in addition to carrying out high-intensity inflammatory propaganda, they also Weapons are secretly distributed to everyone. Most of these weapons are brand new, and some of the cores of light weapons even use Merova technology. It is obviously impossible for a group of underground resistance organizations to produce such a large number of cutting-edge weapons, so... to be honest, it is hard for me to believe that Turazo and the conservatives led by him did not tamper with this process: this is just right. It can explain why all the resistance organizations will actively respond to the call of a Merova. What Turazzo has done in these more than a thousand years is definitely not only establishing a refuge among Anulili's race. So simple, he has been secretly trapping his radical compatriots for a thousand years, and now this thousand-year trap has finally begun to prey on people.
The rebellion of the slave race was just the beginning of the end of Barian's rule. Soon, another disaster struck his kingdom again, and this time, the disaster broke out in the upper pyramids of the Merova Empire.
An unspeakable "plague" began to spread in the Kingdom of God. (To be continued.)
