Chapter 783 Sparks Spread Across the Field
"We... cooperate with the Federal Parliament? But aren't we an organization established to resist the oppression of those nobles?"
Hearing the words coming out of Leo's mouth, Landon was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to believe his ears.
"In fact, the Spark Organization is no longer a pure resistance organization, but a strange force composed of businessmen, ambitious people, prophets, nobles and other camps."
Leo shook his head and nonchalantly revealed Starfire's current true condition to Landon.
"Your name is Landon, right? Do you know that in the Spark Organization, the number of high-ranking members of the resistance army who are truly civilians is actually only about one-fifth of the number of traitors who have infiltrated the Spark Organization for their own purposes?
The current prosperity and strength of the Spark Organization is actually just a facade propped up by these people. They use the name of the Spark Organization to wantonly launch invasion wars and gain benefits for the forces and kingdoms behind them. "
"That's it... But, Your Majesty Leo, since you know all this, don't you want to think of a way to punish them?"
Landon was stunned and his lips moved a few times, not knowing what to say.
"Of course I have the ability to deal with them. After all, I am the leader of the Spark Organization and a ninth-rank cultivator. However, if I really did that, the Spark Organization would fall apart immediately."
Looking at Landon who was shocked and confused by what Leo described about the corrupt state of the Spark Organization, Leo didn't care about it.
"Don't be surprised, Langton. As long as they are valuable to us and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, I will not refuse their joining, just as I do not refuse to cooperate with the Federal Parliament.
They provided us with sufficient resources and manpower, and we, in accordance with their needs, dragged more small and medium-sized kingdoms of the Federation into the war, so that they would have legitimate reasons to recover the territories of those small kingdoms.
If this were not the case, the Spark Organization would not have become the strongest resistance force on the continent today."
"…I'm sorry, Your Majesty Leo, I don't know why you said this to me, but I cannot agree with your philosophy.
If we are willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of profit, then what is the difference between us and the private armies raised by the nobles?"
Taking a slight step back, Landon's tone also became deeper, and his expression became alert.
This meeting not only failed to achieve the purpose of alerting His Majesty Leo, but also accidentally revealed the truth about the "darkness" behind the Spark Organization. Landon felt as if something in his heart suddenly broke.
He originally thought that as a rebel group fighting to liberate civilians, the Spark Organization was at least on the side of "justice".
But if this is the truth of everything, and the Spark Organization is really the culprit who started the war throughout the Federation under the instructions of the parliamentary nobles, then what exactly is he fighting for?
For whom was the blood of the resistance comrades who once fought side by side shed?
"If you don't agree, then don't agree. Why do you have to say it to my face?! Can't you just find a chance to leave this crappy organization? If I anger him, I think it will be very costly to take you away!"
In response to Landon's fierce reaction, Dark Crow also screamed in his spiritual sea.
"You just said that you don't agree with my philosophy?"
After listening to Landon's words, Leo raised his eyebrows, put down the feather pen in his hand, stood up from behind the desk and walked to Landon, staring at Landon with a pair of hawk-like gray eyes. The terrifying aura emanated from him, oppressing Landon's spirit.
"I'll give you one chance to take back your words. I'll pretend that nothing happened just now."
"Sorry, I won't take my words back!"
However, Landon did not take the step. Instead, he endured the pressure with difficulty, held his head high, and spoke with a firm look.
"You started from scratch and established the 'Spark' resistance organization, working hard to overthrow the oppression of the nobles and liberate the common people. I admire your great deeds.
However, today when the Spark Organization has become completely corrupt, not only do you not stop it, but for the sake of so-called interests, you have become an accomplice of the top rulers, bringing war and death to innocent civilians.
Since the Spark Organization no longer stands on the side of the civilians, please allow me to bid you farewell.
Although I come from a humble background and have little experience, I know one thing. There are always some ideals that are above all interests! "
"Damn it, why are you still provoking him!"
Seeing Landon's 'ignorant' reaction, Dark Crow began to wail, and was ready to teleport away with his unfortunate host immediately.
"…There are always some ideas that are above all interests?"
However, what neither Landon nor Dark Crow expected was that after hearing Landon's words of defiance, a rare cold smile appeared on Leo's sharp face.
“Well said!”
Returning to his seat, Leo gathered his aura, causing Landon, who was struggling to resist the pressure, to stagger.
"People outside say that I founded the Spark Organization in order to liberate the common people. But few people know that I originally founded the Spark Organization out of my hatred for the nobles.
There’s a long story behind this, but let’s jump to the end.
My goal from the beginning to the end is to let those high and mighty nobles have a taste of what it feels like to fall from the sky to the dust, and to have to crawl at the feet of the "reptiles" they looked down upon before.
I named the organization Spark because I believe that a tiny spark can grow into a huge force.
The initial spark will either ignite everything that can be ignited, forming a prairie fire that illuminates the long night with its flames, or it will go out in the darkness due to lack of fuel and become part of the dust of history.
For this idea, I develop the spark at all costs, accept all companions that can be accepted, and accommodate all forces that can be accommodated.
I even gave up my own interests and cooperated with those nobles whom I hated from the bottom of my heart, just to expand the scale of Xinghuo as quickly as possible.
Many "smart people" use my organization to achieve their private goals. I see all this, but I don't interfere with their actions.
What they do is also adding a ray of new flame to the organization.
This made the Spark Organization grow at a rapid pace, but also caused it to gradually become bloated, rotten, and turbid.
Today, Spark is no longer the pure resistance organization it once was. The tentacles of various major forces are constantly fighting within the organization, and it has even reached the point where it has to rely on prophets to maintain itself in order to avoid self-collapse.
But all this cost is worth it. The initial little spark has spread into a raging flame that spreads across the entire federation! No matter how many shady deals there are behind this, in the end, our branches are spread throughout the federation, a large number of kingdoms have been wiped out by us, the stale aristocracy has been completely eliminated, and the people have been liberated.
Perhaps those achievements were mostly from the armies of the major kingdoms hidden among us, but that is not important, because they are ultimately under the banner of the 'Spark' organization and are nominally also part of us."
Having said that, Leo waved his hand, and an illusory image of a federal map appeared in the air.
On that map, all areas of the entire federation, including the three kingdoms, were covered with red dots representing branches of the Spark Organization.
Among them, the territories of many small kingdoms were completely dyed red, representing the areas currently occupied by the Spark Organization.
"Spark has realized its original concept—"
