Chapter 480: Go Forward! Giants of the Kingdom!
The White Bone Ancestors' successful attack on the gene sequence made Jishan an iconic figure among the preachers.
Other members of the Redthorn tribe often come to him to learn from him.
"Brother Jishan, we are promoting the benefits of gene sequencing everywhere, but many people in Saniluo don't listen at all. What should we do?"
"Brother Shan, Yancheng is not progressing smoothly. Most people are more interested in the cultivation in Qianyuan Mountain. They think that the gene sequence is useless. No matter how strong the gene sequence is, it will die in front of the Black Rose... Look at me..."
"Teacher Jishan, there are quite a few people in Blood Hill who have tried gene activation, but the progress is slow. The local war cats are very cautious and the pilots are slow, and most of the blood people are prone to physical explosion and polarization, which is really a headache."
…
The preachers complained one by one and talked about their own difficulties.
Jishan couldn't solve these problems, he could only ask them to be patient and continue to persevere.
In fact, the promotion in the Resurrection Kingdom was not smooth either.
Not all of the Bone Ancestors have the same will and patience as the hero Sidar. To complete the gene activation, the poison stimulation process is very painful, sometimes forcing people to the brink of death.
Unlike the living who still have a ghost life after death, the skeleton ancestors are completely gone after death.
Although death is not a big deal in the Resurrection Kingdom, even the skeleton ancestors are unwilling to experience death again and again.
But Jishan knew that it would not be long before the genetic sequence would have the stage to demonstrate its power.
Right next door, the Twin Snake Empire.
The Resurrection Kingdom's top brass determined that it was only a matter of time before the Twin Snakes Empire fell into complete chaos and local separatism.
Now, the contradictions and conflicts between the Emperor and the Electors could no longer be eased.
The emperor must continue to be in power to avoid revenge and retaliation from other electors, and the electors must overthrow the emperor to avoid becoming the next Iron Duke.
Two years later, civil war broke out in the Twin Snake Empire.
The Elector of Gunpowder marched straight into the city, led his army and joined forces with the Minister of Finance and the Deputy Commander of the City Defense Army in the imperial capital, broke through the layers of defense, broke into the palace and placed the emperor under house arrest. He used the emperor's serious illness as an excuse to inform the outside world that he was appointed regent, becoming the de facto usurper of the throne.
The Gunpowder Princes directly broke off relations, and other electors declared independence one after another.
Except for the Iron Duke whose territory was incorporated, Lord Swamp, King of Thousand Islands, Lord Highland Knight, Lord Glacier, and Earl of Spice each raised their own armies and refused to recognize the regency of the Gunpowder Marquis.
They identified the Gunpowder Lords as regicides and expressed their condemnation and condemnation.
Amid the chaos of the world, the apostles disappeared without a trace, representing the attitude of God watching from the sidelines.
Everyone knows that the era of warlords has arrived.
…
The Sand City Gazette continues to report on the current situation of the empire.
"The emperor passed away due to illness, and the imperial capital mourned for three days."
"The palace heard the king's cry for help at night, but it was hard to tell whether it was real or fake."
"Highland Knights Siege the City"
"Knight Commander of the Plateau declares his loyalty to the Lord of Gunpowder"
"The Highland Knights attacked the palace at night, and the Gunpowder Lord fled into exile"
"The Highland Knights announce their takeover of the Imperial Capital"
"The Swamp Lord is at the Gate"
"The Glacier Lord and the Gunpowder Lord form an alliance"
The Iron Duke declares independence
"The Spice Count and the Iron Duke reach a military alliance"
…
The chaos in the Twin Snake Empire continued to escalate, and other vassal civilizations were also invited to join.
The Highland Knights requested reinforcements from the Wind Realm, the Swamp Lord also received assistance from the Warrior Kingdom's elite legion, and the Glacier Lord's team included a mystic from the Mystic Kingdom.
The Count of Spice personally visited the Resurrection Kingdom and not only gained the recognition of the Iron Duke's only legal heir, Duke of Harvest Baron, but also received the formal assistance of the kingdom.
Prior to this, other electors had tried several times to ask the Resurrection Kingdom for help, but King Raymond had refused.
The reason why he agreed to help the Earl of Spice was simple.
"His Majesty is still alive."
The Count of Spice disguised the elderly emperor as a close follower and brought him to the kingdom. The emperor represented legitimacy.
The exiled emperor also gave an interview to the Sand City Gazette.
"I am the emperor of the Twin Snakes Empire, Toto Muller, and also the previous Lord of Gunpowder... I was placed under house arrest by the current Lord of Gunpowder, my nephew. Later, with the help of the Earl of Spice, I faked my death using a special secret drug and escaped."
"The empire is now in turmoil, and the various forces have evil ambitions, causing great chaos and damage to the entire empire, and leaving the people in famine and chaos, and displaced... If the rebellion cannot be quickly quelled, not only will the empire be destroyed, but the entire world may also make the Lord God lose heart, lose his protection and be completely destroyed."
"I, Emperor Toto Muller, sincerely hope to receive your assistance to quell this rebellion as soon as possible and restore order to the earth."
"Here, I also call on the soldiers of the empire not to be accomplices to the evil, not to harm unarmed civilians, and to exercise restraint as much as possible."
"An empire can exist without an emperor, but it cannot exist without order."
As soon as this article entitled "Letter from the Emperor to the Empire" was published, King Raymond also officially announced through the court bulletin that the Resurrection Kingdom would participate in stopping the increasingly serious war in the empire at the request of the Emperor of the Empire and the needs of the people of the empire.
The kingdom formed a [Mediation Army] and sent out an expeditionary force of 10,000 people. Although the number of this army was small, they were all elite.
The commander-in-chief of the mediation army is Haros, a former candidate for king. He has four commanders and two powerful undead warriors under his command. The soldiers are all skeleton knights and bone mages.
After entering the empire, the mediation army, under the cover of the Spice Count's army, made a detour and broke through the blockade of the Glacier Lord and the Gunpowder Lord.
Then the mediation troops marched non-stop, day and night, and broke through the fortress complex set up by Lord Swamp, reopening the passage between the Earldom of Spice and the Imperial Capital.
In the battles that defeated the enemy one after another along the way, the mediation army's thousand-mile march made all forces tremble with fear. Haros demonstrated his superb command ability and battlefield judgment, and always hit the enemy's weak points.
During the head-on confrontation, four commanders led by Sidar launched [Gene Sequence 4: Flesh and Blood]. For the first time, the Skeleton Giant displayed the power of the Gene Sequence to the world.
Relying on the power of their genetic sequences, the four giants led their respective troops with unstoppable force, almost crushing the enemy's gunpowder and arrow defenses.
The giantization of the Skeleton Ancestors, their tough and unbreakable skin, their powerful fists and heavy weapons, and their power to crush city walls with just a wave of their hands brought unparalleled fear to the Empire's goblin soldiers.
The accompanying reporters wrote reports on every battle, which were sent to the rear in a steady stream and published in the "Shacheng Gazette" to be distributed to all directions.
"There are enemies on the other side of the glacier!"
"The first battle was a success, the cavalry charge was unstoppable"
"Gunpowder counterattack, the feudal lords responded strongly"
"Forward! Giants of the Kingdom!"
"Break through! Our knights crush the enemy!"
"A tough battle in the swamp ambush"
"Gunpowder Confinement Zone Between Forts"
"We are in a difficult situation and the battle continues"
"Breaking the formation alone, the pressure from the giant Sidal!"
"The enemy has completely collapsed, and our vanguard has arrived outside the imperial capital."
"The toughest hand-to-hand combat"
"A fierce battle of mincing meat, the giant was killed, and the enemy monster army was wiped out."
"Undead Warriors Join the Battle"
"The Emperor returned to his loyal capital"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"The Emperor announced his abdication, and the Twin Snake Empire was officially transformed into the Twin Snake Merchant Republic."
"Behind the Giant of Bones: From Yanjiu to Thorn Mountain"
…
The battle in the imperial capital was extremely difficult. Two commanders died in the protracted offensive and defensive battle, and more than 60% of the most elite monster corps of the Highland Knights were killed, and the foreign aid mystics also suffered heavy casualties.
In the most crucial battle between the two sides, the Undead Warriors who were originally used as a deterrent finally took action and broke through the high walls and arrow towers by themselves, causing the Knights to lose the iron wall they relied on.
Between escaping and surrendering, the Highland Knight chose the latter.
When the emperor returned to the imperial capital, he was not warmly welcomed, but instead met with opposition and curses from the people.
Even though the Highland Knights were defeated, the civilians who remained in the imperial capital still supported the Knights and shouted in unison for the emperor to abdicate.
When interviewed by interviewer Bai Ding, the civilians gave their own reasons.
"When the Emperor was here, I didn't have enough to eat. Now that the Emperor is gone, the Knights Templar have come. Although I still don't have enough to eat, I can work for the Knights Templar as a militiaman or auxiliary soldier, and I can have two meals a day. What will we eat when the Emperor comes back?"
"When the emperor was in power, we were not allowed to go out at night. If I didn't go out, where would I go to work? Where would I go to find food? We are not nobles or merchants. If we don't work, we will starve. If I drink a belly full of cold water, I will wake up at night because I have to pee. When I wake up, I will be very hungry and chew on leaves. It is really hard to bear the hunger."
"Although the Knights often whipped people, they didn't kill them. They only sent them to work as laborers. When the emperor was around, they were much more brutal. They would kill people."
"I am a businessman. It stands to reason that businessmen should do business honestly and not talk nonsense. But if I don't speak now, when can I speak in the future? His Majesty the Emperor often confiscates our property, and everyone is terrified because they don't know when they will be arrested. Even if they can give a reason, it would be fine. We pay taxes, we accept conscription, we do dangerous and unprofitable work for the empire, we work hard all our lives and then the emperor takes everything away from us... For this country, maybe it's a good thing to have no emperor."
"As a scholar, I believe that the empire must make changes to reverse its decline, so let's start with His Majesty the Emperor. Didn't His Majesty say that the empire can be without an emperor, but it cannot be without order. Please, His Majesty, make some sacrifices for the empire."
…
Faced with tremendous pressure from both inside and outside the country, Mueller, the last emperor of the Twin Snake Empire, finally abdicated. The remaining electors of the empire also gathered in the imperial capital again.
Eventually, the electors and ministers reached a consensus to transform the empire into a merchant republic.
The establishment of the Twin Snakes Merchant Republic meant that the old empire became history. The Republic formally established commerce as the pillar of the country and has since become a trade and economic center for many subordinate civilizations.
The way of state management also changed from the imperial system to the consul system.
Each city and territory will have a governor or mayor, and the Merchant Council will be the official administrative body of each place, from which the mayor and governor will be elected. Their duties are to increase and protect the wealth of the city and its residents.
…
Whether the empire turning into a merchant republic was a good or bad outcome, Jishan didn't know.
He only knew that the mediation army's assistance in this military operation had allowed the giant of the Resurrection Kingdom to stand before everyone. The power of the gene sequence was strongly demonstrated on the tragic battlefield.
The Bone Ancestors are not a race without growth potential. The birth of [Gene Sequence 4] will pave a long stairway to heaven for a large number of Bone Ancestors.
The old idea that the dead cannot complete gene activation has been completely shattered.
A crazy craze for genetic sequencing swept across the Bone Ancestors.
One day, Jishan suddenly felt a vigorous force lingering in his body, and he could feel a warm divine power in this force.
"Thank you for the gift from God..."
Jishan knelt on the ground in surprise and panic, and bowed to the sky.
After completing the ritual to the gods, he finally realized the true meaning of that new power.
[Sharpener], this is the best reward for everything you have done.
Just before Thornhill was about to return home, Sidhar visited him.
"Mr. Jishan, aren't you going to stay for a while longer? There are still many people who hope to get your guidance. Without your encouragement and inspiration, many people will not be able to persevere."
Jishan waved his hand and said, "You overestimate my role. I just think that everything is possible. Sometimes it may not be impossible, but it may not be extreme enough."
He looked at the sun in the sky: "It took us tens of thousands of years to learn to crawl onto land, and thousands more to learn to walk upright under the guidance of the King of Light. Then we experienced war and rebirth, and established the Kingdom of the Sun under the guidance of the God Yao... This is very similar to the White Bone Ancestors establishing the Kingdom of Resurrection."
"We are all very ordinary people, but we have the same gods above our heads. We are brothers. What we can do, you can do too. It's just that sometimes, to accomplish something, you need a lot of patience and time...Nothing can be achieved overnight."
Jishan said seriously: "I look forward to the day when you will come and share your discoveries and experiences with us."
"That day will come. Wait for it, man."
Silda's jaw moved, and he twisted his neck: "Then, as a practice for you, let's fight."
The body of the Skeleton Ancestor suddenly expanded and grew, turning into a tall and burly green giant in the white mist.
Jishan also laughed: "Well done!"
His eyes turned blood red instantly, his muscles bulged, and he turned into an afterimage and collided with the giant.
…
And at the Pillar Mountain, which is the border between the Ghost Realm and the Takelu Kingdom.
An old man was looking at the yellowed newspaper in his hand, smiling so hard that all the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into a ball.
"Finally, there is a way out. The Yao Clan warriors have a way out... That's great. The young people today are amazing."
The young man next to him pointed to the newspaper and said, "Master, there is a tribute to you on it. Look, it says, 'Without the pioneers led by Yan Jiu groping in the dark, there would be nothing that came later.'"
Suddenly, a complicated expression appeared on Yanjiu's face.
He knelt on the ground in a trance, with a strong white light emanating from his body. This light slowly outlined a hidden rune on the old man's body.
Shioku prayed softly, "Praise you, our Heavenly Father and Savior."
Nong Lei's eyes widened.
"This is... you became an apostle?"
