Chapter 281 The Death of Dreaming of a Promised Land
To be honest, bragging and spanking at the dinner table, and talking about national affairs after drinking some wine, are actually very common. Normally, as long as no one comes to talk nonsense, there will be no problem.
As for the situation like now, where one's "high opinions" are directly heard by the gods, it is completely beyond the imagination of these ordinary people.
At this moment, General Raiden suddenly appeared, and the entire izakaya became silent. The person pouring the wine overflowed onto the table without realizing it. Some of the diners were stunned at the scene, and some people rubbed their hands in disbelief. Rubbing his eyes, he thought he had drunk too much and was hallucinating.
It wasn't until the shop owner reacted first and made the highest courtesy to pay homage to General Raiden that the people around him reacted and knelt down on the ground, hoping that General Raiden wouldn't punish them for what happened just now.
General Lei Dian frowned slightly. These people had just mentioned the "Resistance Army". This was something she was not aware of. They were not mentioned in the documents previously submitted by Tian Ling, as well as the price of food.
In her understanding, the people of Inazuma should live a very good life. There is not much resistance to the "Eye Hunting Order". Although there are many stupid people coming here, but from the documents and the previous interviews, Judging from the process of the Winter Envoy, the other party did not threaten "eternity".
But now, what she heard in Inazuma City has gone beyond what she knew before, which is why she came here unconsciously.
And now, she wanted to ask something.
"Tell me what happened to Inazuma recently."
"Eh?" The few people who woke up immediately after seeing the General looked at each other in confusion, and then one of them cautiously asked, "I don't know, what aspect does the General want to know about?"
They were actually very confused. Shouldn't all major events in Daozhu's land be reported to the big shots in Tianling's administration?
"...Let's first talk about the "Eye Hunting Order" and the Resistance Army. "After General Thunder paused for a moment, she chose this thing that she thought might be the most important thing.
"This..." The man glanced at Kujo Sora who was following General Raiden, as if he was worried about something. Kujo Sora, who noticed this, immediately said, "General, I'm asking, what do you have to say?" , don’t care about other people’s opinions.”
"If anyone dares to take revenge on you, the General will make the decision for you."
"Then I dare to tell you what I know," the man gritted his teeth and said, "General, the "Eye Hunting Order" you issued does not have much impact on ordinary people like us. It's just that many holders of the Eye of God and their families and friends fled to the west during the collection process. "
"In the end, probably more than half a year ago, under the leadership of the Coral Palace on Haiqi Island, a resistance force was formed to oppose the "Eye Hunting Order." Now it is said that Tianling is leading the troops to suppress it. As for the situation of the war..."
Kujo Sora took over his words, "The shogunate army is currently entangled with the rebels at Nashi Beach. The town of Yaojima Island is suspected to have been destroyed by extremists during the battle. Under the influence of the evil spirit, the war will not be over in a short time. stop."
The affairs of the resistance army are indeed left to Tian Ling to handle according to the predetermined rules. Judging from the current feedback from Inazuma's territory, it is not to the point where she needs to take action.
Just like what Ying said to the traveler in the game, she knows everything related to "eternity". Although players who have cleared the game know that these words are just Ying's "self-thinking" words, but on the other hand, if Ina Even if a disaster close to the level of a demon really occurred in my wife's territory, the shadow could still sense it.
For example, if the power of the evil spirit of Yaoji Island is allowed to continue to develop for more than half a year, it will be useless no matter how hard Kujo Takayuki hides it.
"...What about the price of food?" General Thunder continued to ask expressionlessly.
"Ah, don't you know, General? Since the promulgation of the national lockdown order, it has been prohibited to go fishing outside Inazuma, and the output of offshore fisheries has also been greatly reduced. In addition, our Inazuma food production is insufficient, and we are already very dependent on Imports, the price of food will naturally go up over time." Another person who knows more about this aspect answered General Leiden's question.
"Especially in the past six months, Inazuma has been at war. Prices of various commodities, shop rents, and taxes have all increased a lot. For us ordinary people living on Narukami Island, as long as we don't intentionally commit crimes, we can live a pretty good life. It’s relatively stable, but I don’t know when this depressing life will end.”
One of the warriors among them took a sip of wine and said, "General, with all due respect, I don't see the meaning of this war. The swords in our hands should be fought for protection. It is like killing brothers now." My brother’s murder weapon is really ridiculous!”
"Ryuusuke, don't talk nonsense. The rebels were the first to cause chaos. There is nothing wrong with us raising troops to suppress it." Some people want to stop this samurai and make him stop being so overstepping. After all, there are already people like him who are dissatisfied with the war and have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with the war. Similar remarks, and now that person is in jail.
"Then what do you want to do with those Eye of God holders? What do you do with the people on Haiqi Island? I went to Haiqi Island when the lockdown order was first issued. It was difficult to even grow radishes there, and fishing at sea was restricted. , the tariffs set by the commission are so high, even those foreign merchants can't afford it, how can the people of Haiqi Island afford it?" Ryusuke drank the wine, and at this time the blood was welling up in his face, and he shook him off people.
"That's not a reason to rebel..." Someone retorted, "Can't we talk it over? The general will not ignore them. Besides, they are originally defeated people. It was the general who spared their lives. I heard that even The Narukami branch on Haiqi Island was destroyed, this is a big crime!"
"...Perhaps, it has been one or two years between the promulgation of the Lockdown Order and the execution of the Eye Hunting Order. Is it true that Haiqi Island has not contacted the shogunate?" Ryusuke sat at the table dejectedly, "Obviously everyone has Just to live well."
"..." General Raiden was silent, then turned to look at the general of the Kujo family, "I already know, Kujo Sora, there may be some untruth in what they said."
"There is basically no false reporting in determining the fiscal tax rate. As for the reasons for the rebellion on Haiqi Island, I cannot comment, but before that, I was ordered by the head of the family, Kujo Takayuki, to execute the Eye Hunting Order and assist General Masahito in attacking the rebels. This What happened during this period was indeed strange, and there were memorials written to it.”
Kujo Sora hinted at General Kujo Takayuki's concealment of military information. Mainly considering the current situation, these cannot be said in front of the public for the time being.
The general puppet is not a fool. Although it is a bit rigid due to the procedural rules set by the shadow, it is still highly intelligent and capable.
With her eyes closed, the General Doll expanded her perception to the entire Narukami Island and even beyond. With just a simple comparison, she could also feel the difference between the "Eternal Paradise" in her "inner" memory and now—— Today's Inazuma is about to lose her last "vitality".
Exhaling a breath, she opened her eyes again and said, "Kujo Sora, take my token and go to the front line, take over the army, and postpone the attack of Tian Ling... I have some things to deal with."
"Understood!" Kujo Sora took the general puppet and took off the thunder element pendant from his waist. After that, General Thunder turned and left the izakaya, and his figure flashed into a cave in Shadow Mountain.
General Thunder held her forehead. She already felt the resistance from her body to what she was thinking. This stiff feeling almost made it impossible for her to control her body as accurately as before. Fortunately, opening the channel did not require physical contact. , driven by her thoughts, a torii emitting purple light appeared out of thin air.
This is the battlefield where you can cut off the past and move towards the future - the death of the dream of a paradise.
