Chapter 304: Persuasion
Nantivian, Episcopal Square.
In the square on a cold night, the host on the stage is performing the last part of his show. The lively audience is rejoicing in the last moments of the year, looking forward to the arrival of the final countdown. The lively atmosphere of the whole square is being pushed to the next high point.
At the same time, on the rooftop of a high-rise building at the edge of the square, in the smoke-filled attic, Sadow, who was ready to go, had finished his pre-war mobilization speech. After listening to Sadow's words, the indigenous people present couldn't help but stand up one after another. They clenched their weapons in their hands and looked at Sadow with a determined look.
"Well, it's time. Kum and the others will start their sacrifice soon. We need to follow their footsteps and let those white-skinned demons have a taste of guns and gunpowder. Even if we die here today, we will be welcomed as heroes by our ancestors when we return to the Great Soul."
In the center of the attic, Sadow stood there and announced loudly to everyone. After hearing Sadow's words, the aboriginals in the attic also responded with their weapons. Sadow nodded happily after seeing the scene in front of him, then picked up a rifle, turned around, opened the door of the attic and left. The aboriginals in the attic also rushed over after seeing him. After a while, all the aboriginals followed Sadow out of the attic. Only three masked men were left in the attic, silently watching the scene in front of them.
After the people in the attic left, the three men nodded to each other, and then followed them out. As soon as they came outside, they heard Saduo exclaim in the spiritual language that they could not understand.
The three men were startled and looked in the direction of the scream. They saw Sadow, who had just screamed, standing there, looking forward with an incredible look on his face. Not far in front of him, there stood the figure of a young man. Under the light of the fire around him, they could see that although the man was wearing ordinary clothes, he had the same brown skin as the other indigenous people. He seemed to be an indigenous person from the New World.
"Capac! Why are you here!?"
Using spiritual language, Sadow spoke loudly to the familiar young man standing in front of him, his expression full of surprise. Facing Sadow, Capac responded firmly.
"I'm here to stop you, Sadow, and all the fellows who came with Sadow. Stop it, your actions will not bring any benefit to our tribe. If you continue like this, you will only bring greater disaster!"
Capac shouted to the compatriots in front of him who had the same skin color as him. Hearing his words, the natives in front of him couldn't help but look at each other, and many of them showed sarcasm and mockery in their eyes.
"Oh, I thought you came here because you couldn't hold back your hatred and wanted to interfere with our business, but I didn't expect you to come here to stop us? Humph... You are just daydreaming. How can the blood feud between us and these white people be stopped by your words!"
Standing in front of Capac, Sadow spoke loudly with an arrogant attitude, while Capac swallowed his saliva, calmed down his emotions, and responded.
"Although I know it's difficult... but I have to stop you all. Revenge in this way is meaningless. It will only bring greater disaster to our tribe and nothing good will happen. I can understand your hatred, but this way of revenge is inappropriate.
"In addition to cherishing the things we have lost, we should also cherish the things we have left. So let's go back now, back to our hometown, to solve the more realistic problems facing our people, instead of seeking revenge here and causing greater disasters for the rest of our people after our death."
With his hands spread out, Capac persuaded the people in front of everyone with great passion and emotion, but his persuasion only resulted in Sadow's disdainful and sarcastic laughter.
"Hahaha... our revenge is meaningless? We don't need you to define what is meaningful! Listen to me, this man is Capac from the Tupa tribe. He knows the language of the whites, can use their things, and knows their technology. He is not one of our compatriots. He is in the same group as those whites!
"My fellow tribesmen! Don't believe what this guy says. Although he seems to be helping the tribe, curing their illnesses and showing them small favors, this is just a disguise! Although he was born among us, his heart is with our enemies! Although he can deceive the Tupa tribe members and even the shaman, he can't deceive me! I have seen through him a long time ago! He is the traitor among us!"
Turning around, Sadow spoke to the other indigenous people around him. After listening to Sadow's words, many of these indigenous people showed disgust and even hostility towards Capac on their faces. Some of them even raised their guns and pointed them at Capac. Facing these black muzzles of the guns, Capac responded calmly.
"If I were really a traitor, I would have brought the white guards with me, but I didn't. I know you have a lot of complaints about me, but I can guarantee that everything I did was for the good of all our tribes. What you are going to do tonight is useless except venting your anger. If you can vent your anger, the whites will also do it, and their anger will only be bigger and more violent than yours, so stop it now while you still have a chance!"
Capac said this to Sadov in front of him, and after hearing Capac's words, Sadov couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha... In time? You just think you're in time, Capak... I can tell you, it's too late. There's no way we can stop it. We already have three warriors who are willing to sacrifice themselves among the crowd below. As soon as the New Year arrives when those white people are celebrating, everyone below will be buried in the sea of fire! You can't stop it!"
As Saduo spoke, he took out a pocket watch and looked at it. In order to accurately grasp the time during this operation, he specially learned how to use this thing.
"The time is almost up! Only a dozen seconds left! Now turn around, Capac, and take a look at the blood-vengeance gift we have prepared for those white people!!"
With madness in his eyes, Sadow, holding the pocket watch, spoke to Capac like a declaration. At this time, he took two steps forward, turned around, raised the pocket watch, and continued to speak to the natives in front of him.
"Come on, everyone. Let's time this final moment for them together and let this traitor see our determination!"
As he spoke, Saduo used spiritual language to start the New Year's countdown with the host on the distant stage. He looked much more excited than the group of audiences celebrating the New Year below. He shouted loudly, like a fanatical believer who had found his own value.
"Watch carefully, Capac! Look at the horror that is about to happen! And then ask yourself, is this something you can stop?!
"Four! Three! Two! One! Witness it!"
As the host on the stage began to count down, Sadow roared at Capac and the other indigenous people. In his script, there would be a loud explosion from the celebrating crowd, and raging flames and intertwined screams would support his words, making Capac and the other indigenous people in front of him understand who is truly worth following.
“Swoosh~Bang!!”
At the moment the countdown ended, there really was a huge noise exploding from behind Saduo. Hearing this noise, Saduo's mouth corners curled up extremely exaggeratedly, and the madness and complacency on his face appeared to the extreme.
However, Sadow soon discovered something was not right. He found that Capac's face was not shocked but calm, while the faces of the indigenous people who followed him were full of shock. The firelight reflected on their faces was not the bright red of the blazing flames, but a variety of colors. The sound of the crowd behind him was not a shrill scream, but an unprecedented boiling cheer.
Sensing that something was not right, Sadow suddenly turned his head and looked behind him. What he saw was not the blazing flames he had expected, but instead a variety of beautiful fireworks exploding in the sky. What he had expected was not the crowd struggling and screaming in pain, but only a sea of people cheering and celebrating under the leadership of the host.
"How to reply? How to reply! How did Kum and the others reply? Why didn't it explode? Where is the anger they promised me they would show? Where is it?!"
Looking at the celebrating crowd below, Sadow roared with confusion and anger, while Capac on the side responded calmly.
"They have already left and are not down there. I had already looked for Kumu and the others before I came here. I persuaded them to give up this meaningless sacrifice. They all said that they realized that there were still things they cherished in their tribe and they did not want to die here, so they left first...
