Chapter 488 Dark Cloud
In the dark of night, in a mansion somewhere in Addis, the leader of the revolutionary army sat in his study, writing quickly on the story book spread out on the table with a stern expression in the light of the table. His pen tip jumped quickly on the paper. Under his pen, the increasingly profound contradictions within the revolutionary army, the hidden dangers of Addis rekindling the war, and his worries as the leader of the revolutionary army were all recorded one by one by him just now.
"In short, I will do my best to protect you from Mukhtar's ambush tomorrow, and then we will find an opportunity to immediately withdraw from Addis and go to other safer places in Addis, trying to escape from Mukhtar head-on as far away as possible."
Sadie wrote on the page, and only moments later, Vanya's response jumped out at him.
"Will you protect us and help us escape? Mr. Shadi, facing Mukhtar, what is our chance of escaping from Addis?"
Looking at Vanya's question, Shadi was slightly startled. After thinking about it in his mind, he continued to write with a heavy face.
"If I only want to protect myself, I am completely confident that I can escape from Mukhtar's hands. But if it's you, I only have about a 30% chance. Although the chance is slim, Sister Vanya, you don't have to worry that I will ignore you. Only you can explain to Saint Linshan what is happening in Addis now, so I will not abandon you."
Shadi wrote that only if he protected Vanya's special envoy group could Vanya ask Saint Mountain to explain the situation and intercede for him, so that he could sever his relationship with the Salvation Army and avoid being treated as a heretic when the Saint Mountain army came to Addus. Therefore, Vanya must be protected no matter what tomorrow.
"I will do my best to protect you, Sister Vanya, and help you leave Addis. Sister Vanya, you must immediately go to Mount Saint to ask for help and have the jihadist army go to Addis immediately to eradicate the heresy. During this period, I will lead the forces loyal to me to fight Mukhtar in Addis and hold on until the jihadist army arrives.
"So Sister Vanya, you'd better ask for help in time. Only with the help of the Jihad Army can we defeat Mukhtar's salvation faction in future wars."
Shadi wrote down his plan on the notebook. Looking at the words he wrote, Shadi's eyes were heavy. Although the plan was not simple, he didn't know how much it would cost and how much harm the entire Adus would suffer.
It is easier said than done to retreat safely under the attack of Mukhtar, a Red Formation Extraordinary, and his bodyguards. Although Shadi may have strength beyond that of ordinary Cretaceous-level people with the help of Setut, he can only protect himself in front of a Red Formation Extraordinary. But this time, in addition to protecting himself, he also has to protect the church's special envoys, and the difficulty will increase sharply.
Even if his side could successfully escape from Addis, what Shadi would have to face next would be a full-scale civil war in the revolutionary army of Addis. After the news of the split of Addis spread, it would be inevitable that Addis would rekindle the war. When Shadi thought of his former comrades fighting each other, and Addis, who had not been easy to get along with, was trapped in purgatory again, he felt an indescribable depression in his heart. The reason why he had remained silent before was to avoid such an ending. He wanted to maintain this hard-won peace for Addis.
However, under the pressure of the Salvationists, Shadi also realized that it was no longer the time to remain neutral. Since war was inevitable if he chose both sides, he could only choose the side with the least damage. If he chose the Salvationists, the entire Adus Revolutionary Army would be destroyed by the Holy War Army. After another round of war, Adus would welcome back the old nobles of the Baruch Dynasty, and the old nobles would rebuild the Baruch Dynasty with the support of the church.
If you choose Mount Saint, although it will be extremely dangerous when Addis breaks up tomorrow, as long as you escape from Addis and hold on until the arrival of the Holy War Army, everything will be fine. After the war, Shadi's revolutionary army will be able to preserve a part, and Shadi himself will have the qualifications to negotiate with Mount Saint. At that time, the situation will evolve into himself and the old nobles of Addis winning the support of Mount Saint, and working hard to make Mount Saint recognize himself.
By then, the best case scenario for Shadi would be that Saint Mountain would allow him to continue to lead the situation in Addus, but even so, a large number of old aristocratic forces would inevitably get involved. The bad scenario would be that Saint Mountain would allow the old aristocrats to control Addus, and he would have to endure the existence of these former enemies. In the end, it might even be possible that Saint Mountain would not trust him and directly abandon him, and completely support the absolutely loyal old aristocrats... In any case, as long as the war breaks out and Saint Mountain intervenes, the situation in Addus will eventually be strongly intervened by Saint Mountain through the old aristocrats of Baruch. Although Shadi doesn't like this, he has no choice at this point. Now is not the time to continue sitting on the fence.
At this moment, on the other side of Addis, in a luxurious room in the Addis Palace, Vanya was sitting at the desk, frowning as she looked at the words written by Sadie in front of her. It was not Dorothy but Vanya who had just communicated with Sadie. As she was too lazy to imitate Vanya's writing habits and tone, Dorothy directly transferred the words that Sadie wrote on her Wenhai Navigation Diary to Vanya's communication page. After Vanya replied under Dorothy's guidance, Dorothy also responded and forwarded it, allowing the two of them to communicate directly.
Sitting in front of her desk, Vanya stared at the words on the page in front of her with a sad face. According to Sadie, the resurgence of war in Addus seemed to be a foregone conclusion. This made her, who was truly looking forward to peace and still had a glimmer of fantasy about the peaceful future, feel a little sad.
Looking at Sadie's handwriting, Vanya did not respond immediately. After a brief pause, she picked up the pen and asked Dorothy to write.
"Ms. Dorothea, the situation in Adus has developed to what it is today... Is it really irreversible? Is the next war inevitable?"
Dorothy was sitting on the floor of the hidden space in the Temple of Qi Wen. After reading Vanya's handwriting, she couldn't help but touch her chin with a thoughtful look on her face, looking at the simple scene in front of her with worry.
'It seems... a direct confrontation with Mukhtar tomorrow is completely inevitable. Is this conflict really feasible when facing Chi Chengjie, the head of a large association and a country, and the leader of the temple, who has a large number of subordinates?
"Even though we have Shadi's help, he also said that when facing Mukhtar, the probability of being able to retreat intact while protecting Vanya is only 30%. Even if I am included... I feel that the probability is no more than 10%. This is still too low for me... It looks unstable..."
Dorothy thought so in her heart. For her, stopping the war was still too far-fetched and illusory. She was more concerned about the matter at hand, that is, how to improve her combat effectiveness as much as possible in tomorrow's conflict and improve her ability to deal with Mukhtar. This was the most critical thing.
At this time, Dorothy did not immediately respond to Vanya's words, but stood up on the temple hall in the hidden space and walked slowly. While walking in the hall, her eyes swept across the illusory words floating in the air around her, swept across the inspirational building structure lines, and finally stopped at the center of the hall, on the divine symbol floating above the altar.
The symbol was a half-open eye, with the pupil emitting electric light that spread in all directions and even radiated out of the eye socket. This was the pupil of the Judge of Heaven, a god who had fallen thousands of years ago and was now sealed in the secret history.
Looking at the floating pupil of lightning in front of her, Dorothy's face was a little dazed. After standing there for a moment, she recalled the information she had just seen in the introduction of the temple, and then a wave of ideas emerged in her mind.
"Oh right... According to the previous introduction, this Temple of the Judge of Heaven is not only a temple, but also has other functions. If these functions are not broken..."
As Dorothy muttered this, an idea came to her mind. She did not delay and immediately began to test the feasibility of her idea. She began to use the intelligent system left in the temple to search for the information she wanted. Not long after, she found the solution she wanted.
Looking at the general knowledge article information that she had worked so hard to find, Dorothy couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After reading the article in front of her, she already had an idea of what would happen tomorrow.
At this moment, Dorothy's confidence in dealing with Mukhtar tomorrow suddenly increased by several percentage points. This percentage point was not the probability of successfully escaping, but the probability of defeating the opponent.
