Chapter 914: Temptation of the Fallen Angel

The battle was over, but it ended in a whimper.

As a returning hero knight, Lyon soon learned from the welcoming staff the reason why the rear-end fleet surrendered.

It turned out that the fleet commander of the Blue Star Federation ordered that the death compensation of the rear-end army would be doubled, and they could surrender after one day, and all crimes would be waived, and they could even return to the army in the future.

It was precisely because of this that the soldiers with families and children broke out a strong fighting will within the specified time.

After all, they could get out of the predicament by holding on for a while, and surrendering in advance would be thankless, and everyone would make the right choice.

Lyon had just inquired about the news when he saw a large group of people rushing in.

The official who had just revealed the news to him was full of envy: "Hurry up and get ready, His Excellency the Duke is here in person."

He knew that these knights in front of him were lucky and would soon be able to rise to prominence.

But he was not jealous, because they also worked hard to get it, and it was what they deserved.

"Thanks for the reminder, and... help me keep an eye on my brother."

The other party had already seen the wreckage of the mecha that Lyon brought back, so he nodded solemnly: "They are all heroes of the empire, you can leave it to me, there will be no problem."

"Thank you!"

Lyon was not stupid enough to take the wreckage of his brother to see the Duke. This kind of silly behavior was appreciated by the boss, and then he became successful, which can only appear in literary works.

In fact, it will never leave a good impression to make trouble for the leader regardless of the occasion.

Lyon knew that now was a good time to publicize the victory and unite the people. The Duke may or may not have the intention to make the victims public.

As a subordinate, you don't need to make your own decisions.

Otherwise, if you jump out in front of this occasion, you don't trust the Duke and feel that the victims are not treated as they should be.

Or do you want to force the palace in public?

So, feelings should give way to reality.

Sure enough, Liszt has no intention of making a fuss about the victims for the time being.

At least ordinary people don't need to see the tragic wreckage.

After a welcoming ceremony, the victims also appeared in the speech and received generous treatment.

Then, Lister announced the formation of the Knights of the North Wind in public.

...

After watching the lively video, Derek was not angry.

This is the difference between the second generation and the first generation. No matter how they are educated, they are actually leaving the bottom.

If it were him, he would definitely treat the victims sincerely, and perhaps take the opportunity to do some publicity, but he would never abandon them.

But Lister's idea is a little different. He will not treat the victims unfairly, but he is also unwilling to let the tragic ending be seen by the public, worried that it will affect the confidence of ordinary people.

After all, if you have not lived the life of an ordinary person, you still cannot perfectly substitute.

Of course, this is not necessarily wrong, it's just a difference in attitude.

Derek doesn't care about these details, he doesn't even care about Lister's little ambition.

"The Knights of the North Wind?" Derek murmured to himself, just like an adult seeing a child playing house: "Let him do it, maybe he can really make some name for himself."

Derek had no objection here, and Lister's plan went smoothly.

The Sirius Fortress was doing great things, but the federal government on the other side was in a gloomy mood.

The failure to capture the Sirius Fortress in the first place basically proved that the possibility of regaining the lost territory by force did not exist.

Perhaps the attack on the energy supply fleet was an accident, but the failed counterattack was inevitable.

The narrow environment of the interstellar channel is equivalent to the vast starry sky, which is not conducive to large-scale combat, at least the numerical advantage is difficult to play.

A fully functional fortress is enough to block the entire interstellar channel.

Then there is a long war of attrition, and the consideration of face is greater than the practical significance.

Until both sides are exhausted, and then gradually lose heat, then negotiations can begin.

But facing Lister, this process can be shortened.

Because from beginning to end, Lister's slogan is Confederation autonomy, a slogan shouted in the name of Maple Leaf Mining Group.

Even if everyone knows what the essence is, it is different with or without this fig leaf.

The cabinet meeting was held again, and this time Minister He's situation was much better.

He no longer faced a large number of doubts, and he didn't have to worry about being blamed at any time.

In fact, after the test of war, the Dark Empire has obtained the qualifications - the qualifications for the bureaucrats to take seriously.

Choosing to be deeply tied to Lister is also beneficial.

"Minister He, everyone wants to hear your ideas now." The chairman's voice was tired, but he still insisted on the bottom line: "Let alone the autonomy of the Confederation, as long as I am in this position, I will definitely not agree."

Minister He understood that the chairman would not agree, but he could do it after he stepped down.

This is for reputation, Minister He understands.

So he also skipped this condition and directly offered the price: "Negotiations can proceed slowly, not a short-term task.

I think we should change our attitude towards Maple Leaf Mining Group now. Angel civilization has appeared, which is bound to bring about a reform. Now we must make a choice... Is it Seraph or Fallen Angel?"

Since we can't master the angel civilization, then everyone has to stand in line.

This is the daily life of politicians, as instinctive as breathing and drinking water.

"Everyone, please give your opinions!" The chairman was even more tired, and no one was worry-free.

"The Federation will never accept Fallen Angels. Class, darkness, depravity, and selfishness are not in line with the universal worldview.

On the contrary, the spirit promoted by the Seraphim is positive, and the Federation must stick to the right path." The Minister of Culture and Education spoke righteously.

Of course, the Federation cannot choose Fallen Angels, but individuals can.

Freedom of belief! Isn't Fallen Angel freedom now?

Everyone understood his implication and echoed: "Yes, how can the unhealthy trend of Fallen Angels poison ordinary people?"

Let us enjoy... No, let me suffer!

Of course, it is impossible for them to surrender directly.

So, after unifying their opinions, everyone began to collectively besiege Minister He, trying to get more permissions.

For this, Minister He was well prepared and immediately took out the big killer.

"Fallen Angels welcome everyone to join, pay faith... get rewards, no matter whose faith it is.

Supernatural power, angel weapons, all can be granted.

Believe me... Fallen Angels can give what the Great Xia Empire can give, and what the Great Xia Empire cannot give, Fallen Angels can also give.

Of course, if it is the Holy Fallen Darkness, the Fallen Angels will definitely not be stingy with rewards."

Compared to the strict faith requirements of the Great Xia Empire, the Fallen Angels are obviously much more relaxed.

The main belief that you can get favor if you have use value, such a transaction-like belief, is more in line with the needs of the ruler.

After all, it is easy to get poor people to believe, just paint a pie for them.

But Minister He and others can't paint a pie, and the loss is really serious.
