Chapter 540 Bloodline
Western Adus, Karnak.
After the roar that was louder than thunder, the sandstorm dissipated, the clouds parted, and under the shining sunlight, the entire town of Kanak was covered with a thick layer of dust. The surviving soldiers crawled out from the dust in their bunkers and looked around blankly, as if the doomsday scene just now was just an illusion.
After the storm caused by Diadin completely dissipated, the entire revolutionary army of Kanak began to organize activities again. Under the command of General Shadi, all the revolutionary soldiers began to clean up Kanak after the doomsday disaster.
He organized troops, called up the retreating troops, searched for and suppressed the remaining Salvation Army forces, and searched for possible surviving local residents. Under Shadi's command, the revolutionary soldiers of Kanak quickly recovered from the chaos, and everything was running in an orderly manner.
"There are still a few people firing black guns over at the Shiyi Building. If you can get them to surrender, do so. If they don't, blow up the building. Don't attack head-on to avoid casualties... Someone in Dongyi City heard a cry for help. It seems there are locals who survived. Send a few more people over to confirm the situation and try to save as many people as possible..."
Standing on a tall building, Shadi skillfully commanded his soldiers to carry out various tasks. Although since the Adus Revolution entered the stage of national revolution, Shadi began to coordinate strategies more and rarely gave detailed commands to a unit directly. This was also because the Battle of Karnak was the last battle of the Adus Civil War and was crucial. Facing the undead troops, he had to go to the front line to boost morale, so he came here to act as a frontline general.
Finally, after preliminarily arranging the tasks, Shadi breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the clear sky in front of him, recalling the huge sound that shook the earth and destroyed the hurricane. For a moment, he felt a surge of emotion in his heart, and then he spoke to the ancient undead in his heart.
"Hey, Setut, have you figured out what that sound was just now?" Shadi asked Setut. Setut had been in silence since he heard the loud noise just now. This was somewhat contrary to Shadi's attitude that he would explain any strange phenomenon he encountered. Shadi couldn't help but ask with a hint of worry in his tone, and Setut responded slowly with a sigh after a slight pause.
"Not yet... I haven't figured out what that voice is... how it can release such a huge force... I can only guess at best..."
"guess……"
"That voice has some kind of profound ups and downs and rhythms. In my opinion, this may be a language... a language that even I have never recognized."
"Language...is that actually a language? There is a language on this boat that you don't understand?" Shadi said to Setut with some surprise. In the field of language, he had never heard of a language that Setut didn't understand.
"Of course, I'm not an omniscient god. The language just now was very special and powerful. Just a few syllables can trigger such a powerful force. I can't understand the reason. Maybe this is some kind of primitive language that has a natural and profound connection with power..."
"The beginning... um... the spirit of words?" Listening to Setut's words, Shadi's eyes showed obvious confusion, while Setut continued to preach.
"This is related to a profound field related to the origin and structure of everything... Even when the Second Era Dynasty was flourishing, it was still the most cutting-edge research field... It is a key topic in the First Era research. In short, the knowledge of poison here is very deep, and I can't tell you too much... Even if I tell you, you won't understand..."
Setut responded to Shadi like this. Shadi was choked by Setut's response and didn't know what to say for a moment. So he didn't continue to delve into what the mysterious words just said were, but changed the angle and asked.
"Then... if Setut's judgment is correct, doesn't it mean that the Heavenly Judge Cult has begun to master a large amount of the First Dynasty's legacy? Even the cutting-edge research has been inherited, and the results can be used." Shadi continued to ask Setut questions, and Setut replied after pondering Shadi's question for a while.
"It's a bit possible... maybe I underestimated them before. Boy... in the future, find a way to cooperate with them on a deeper level. I need to understand them from more angles..." Setut said to Shadi. At this time, in its heart, it had already put the formal contact with the Cult of Heavenly Judge on the agenda.
After a brief exchange with Setut, Shadi continued to command the revolutionary army to clean up the battlefield and carry out the aftermath. At this time, in the distance, on a bell tower in the city of Karnak, a figure of Nefernis was standing there, looking at Shadi in the distance, with a hint of complexity in her expression.
"That is... the end of Adus' current rule... Baruch?"
Nephnis spoke softly while looking at Shadi's figure from afar. Beside her, a corpse doll in a robe was responding under the control of Dorothy in the distance.
"Yes, Shadi, the leader of the revolutionary army of Adus, the man who killed Diadin physically and destroyed the dynasty you founded with your own hands, how about that? Your Majesty Rahman, are you going to raise another army, fight this rebel, and restore Baruch?"
Hearing Dorothy's slightly playful words, Rahman, who was leaning on Nefernis, did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked at the many wounded soldiers in the city and the large number of bodies of civilians who died in the coffin ritual piled up outside the city, and then answered calmly.
"It depends on the situation. If he is really qualified to rule Adus... then there is no need for Baruch to revive. The funeral of rebellion is its best destination. If he is not qualified, then I can only let Adus suffer a few more wounds..."
"Oh...so you want to observe him?" Dorothy asked Rahman curiously, and Rahman answered in the affirmative.
"That's about right... After repairing the damage to my soul, I will travel to Adus to see how he is doing..."
"Inspection... Does this count as your royal family test for Shadi?"
"Royal Family Trial? Ha... please don't mention this word again. I thought that the system I designed could ensure the long-term stability of Adus, but I didn't expect that it would end up with such a tragic result. The Royal Family Trial... is the stupidest decision I have ever made..."
Listening to Dorothy's words, Rahman chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, Dorothy couldn't help but feel curious after listening to Rahman's words.
