Part 23 Battle and the Future
.... From the perspective of Gersh Russell ....
.. Catch them, catch them
Today everything was ready for the eternal end of the Arshid family when chaos began.
That cursed apostate (Ziyar) If it weren't for him, it would have been over.
No, it was useless, I should have gone after those cursed ones myself.
.. Quickly take Lady Leah to a safe place, I want to go after the fugitives.
The soldiers nodded and I went to my horse.
Just as I was about to mount my horse, someone jumped and pushed me.
Several masked men were around me.
They all attacked me.
I drew my sword and started the battle....
Was it supposed to end? I don't know if they had used black magic or not. Whatever it was, every time I killed those masked men, they would reappear and start running away.
I was getting back on my horse when...
... Sir! Sir! I saw some soldiers coming with two bodies… What happened? Who are these?
... Ummm sir
None of them were talking
.. Tell me quickly what happened before I order you all to be executed.
.. Yes, yes sir, I say, I say what happened, well, we went after the bastard Arshid, but unfortunately they escaped and I don't know how they tricked us with these.
And he pointed to the two bodies on the horses.
.. These were two soldiers of the church who tricked us and fought us and we had to kill them. Damn them
I started hitting those soldiers
.. Sir! Sir! We made a mistake, I'm sorry.
It was no use.. Did the bastard Arshid escape? Did he fool you fools? How do you know you're not just his subordinates?
.. Joe!
...Yes sir +
Take these fools to the Border Wall Intelligence Bureau for investigation, dismiss all the Border Wall soldiers and put them to work in the mines and burn those damned bodies too. Joe: Sir, we'll do everything, but the Wall soldiers belong to the court...
.. Didn't you hear what I said? Don't you want me to send you to the Intelligence Bureau too? Do what I said quickly.
Joe: Okay, sir, sir
Quick, quick, fools
... Sir, excuse me, sir
And I, who didn't hear any of this, went to the Intelligence Bureau and ordered Antonia Arshid to be brought there too.
....
I sat down on the chair, exhausted.
My head ached.
Work hard, suffer a lot, investigate, hire a savage mercenary, what will happen in the end?
That rebel could easily ruin my plan and finally escape.
How is this possible? A nobleman like Ziar, one of the nobles of Hira, could be loyal to the court and, more importantly, not believe in a superior race and consider everyone, a nobleman like Hira, equal to his subjects.
That Ziar was completely crazy and people like him had no place in my order, the new world order, where the only true rulers are the nobles.
If he hadn't been cursed, this would have been an eternal task...
I decided to go to Antonina.
....
I looked at Antonia.
Again in chains.
And again in my hands!
... I was left wondering how much the gods could have mercy on you, their enemy, that on the day of your execution, on the day when all of human history would be saved from the madness of you Archaides, they would come and save you like a goddess of mercy.
Of course, your son, who according to your ridiculous family tradition must kill the next successor of one of his loved ones.
This proves how crazy you are to kill.
I went to him and raised his head.
... But that, without your ridiculous tradition, does not prevent me from killing you with my own hands. And be sure, if your son is not found, I will officially kill you in front of everyone.
He said nothing, he just looked at me, with looks that showed only the hatred of madness.
Suddenly… a force made me jump back and I saw Antonia come out of the chains and come towards me with a sword in her hand.
... Huh, am I crazy? That you want to create a new world order? May the gods have mercy on me
Gersh Russell, son of a whore, son of a whore, son of a whore..
That you lied to everyone
Do you consider yourself one with me, a nobleman, butcher of your people and false gods?
It is not I who fear death, It is you, your gods, fear my death. I will become your bishop and slaughter you every single one.
Gersh Ross, the adulterer.
And he slowly came towards me and began to laugh.
I was locked up, I could do nothing.
It was as if someone had taken control of my mind and body and would not let me do anything or even cry out for help. I replied that I was Gersh Russell, the embodiment of the gods of the Reich.
But he was right. A butcher of the gods has no right to kill someone like me, who is only the embodiment of the gods of the Reich.
I swallowed hard and practically prepared myself for death.
He smiled and, drawing his sword on the ground, approached me until he was within a foot of me.
... Now, Gersh Russell, I send you to hell, to the Lord of Hell, my son, where you will suffer only for insulting the butcher of the gods, that is, me.
And he raised his sword and ....
My God, what was this?
I don't know what it was, a dream, an illusion, a reality, but whatever it was, I was standing in front of Antonia and she was looking at me with a ridiculous and ridiculous smile.
With this damned illusion, I completely forgot what I wanted to say.
Without saying anything else, I went out just to escape that damn place.
Oh, what was this? Of all the nightmares...
No, I shouldn't be afraid of him, he should be...
+ Sir
Another scream, I got scared again.
I turned around and saw a soldier.
... Sir, an urgent order has come. King Sam has summoned you to the imperial court and said that if you don't go, you're In disobedience.
Who would think of disobeying an order?
I really didn't feel like getting involved in this right now, because my focus should be on finding Alex and that damn pilgrim, not any other problem.
.....
I looked at the people there. All the courtiers had come and were waiting for the foolish King Sam.
That, by official announcement, King Sam came with his son and his loyal wife to the church that had repeatedly betrayed her husband at the behest of the Pope.
He sat on the throne.
King Sam: Well, Mr. Gersh Russell, today I want to speak to you quite frankly.
You have used the emotions of the people to turn them against us and the Arashid family. You accused them of crimes in a foolish trial and, without my approval, sentenced them in a foolish trial.
And now you have caused Alex Arashid to disappear?
How long will you be at enmity with me? Should I come and give you the throne? No, you and the church and your false gods. You want someone to blame for your corruption and sins. And who better than me, who is always sick and what do you say to the people? He is paying for his sins and those of his ancestors with the death of his children and his illness.
But you do not say that we are the cause of his illness, the cause of the death of his children. We are adulterers, sinners and corrupt.
And now, as a final warning, if you harm Antonia until Alex Arashid is found, if you intend to torture or execute her, we will deal with you, and be assured that I do not even fear civil war.
Now get out of here quickly, for no one like you deserves the position of nobility, Gersh Russell, you peasant! And then the one-sided trial and my humiliation
....
I sat down on the chair again, those thoughts, the memories of my mother's humiliation, the memories of my mother's sacrifice, came before my eyes, the memories that even I... happened to myself, the memories of my humiliation and torment by the children of the place where we lived,
Ha ha ha,
It's interesting that I saw all this, I didn't die, I lived to suffer, I lived to...
Among all these memories, I had one happy thing,
When I was sold to the church because of my beauty, but most importantly, having magic, that is, reading minds and changing minds,
I was trained to be the embodiment of the gods of Ra'ish, to destroy the enemies of the church, and I did it thousands of times, and the people of that damned village where I humiliated my mother,
Also came before my eyes, where I ordered all the women and girls to go as prostitutes in the brothels of the country and the land of the savages, where their sons were sold to I sold myself as a slave to the land of… Samaras,
And the men I buried alive, indifferent to all their pleas.
Will they humiliate me, torture me?
To my pleas, to my torments!
But not this time, no, I will not let it happen again, I will not let myself be humiliated again, for I am the embodiment of the gods of Ra'ish.
This time, I will personally wipe that contemptuous look from the faces of my court, soon.
That is why I need a strong ally, an ally who, like the story goes, can accompany me in the coming war and battle. That is why I first wrote a letter to the king's wife and asked her to use a new medicine that, in addition to weakening the body, also causes dementia.
Because it is true that the king is physically weak, but his mind still works, but if he becomes weak and incapacitated, who will listen to him? Who can stop me?
....
I looked at the palace of the Hira family, a family that had never been a perfect match, neither for us nor for the court, but now it was still important because it was the apocalypse and I wanted to help this family create a new world order and a new world based on the fact that only the nobility had the right to live and all the commoners were their slaves.
I had announced it in advance, so I entered the palace easily and waited for Lia and her father.
Who had come with her father and herself.
Lia was the opposite of her father. Her father, Lor Hira, had gray hair and gray eyebrows and was attractive.
Lia looked exactly like her late mother.
Lor was the Minister of Finance and the second advisor to Idris, more of an advisor to us than to the king.
Lor: So what brought you here, sir?
... Well, a very important point is that now, if you know, the king has actually threatened us with civil war and we are not in a position to fight both the king and foreign enemies.
Because if we enter into civil war, the barbarians will definitely attack us and we must turn the threat into an opportunity and, with their cooperation, destroy the foolish king's rule forever.
That is why I want to send Leah Hyera to the barbarian court as a messenger of my goodwill first and I will go a few days later so that no one suspects and I can wait for the answer.
Story: First of all, we accept your order, but first, did the Pope give such an order? And that sending my only daughter to the barbarians is very dangerous for me!
Yes, don't worry, the Pope knows and this is necessary for our future because we will most likely enter into civil war in the future and we need to have a strong ally and what better than...
.....
I looked at the palace of the Hyera family, a family that had never been quite right for us or the court, but now It was still important because it was the apocalypse and I wanted to help this family create a new world order and a new world based on the fact that only the nobility had the right to live and all the commoners were their slaves.
I had announced it in advance, so I entered the palace easily and waited for Leah and her father.
Who had come with her father and herself.
Leah was the opposite of her father. Her father, Lor Hyera, had gray hair and gray eyebrows and was attractive.
Leah looked exactly like her late mother.
Lor was the Minister of Finance and the second advisor to Idris, who was more of an advisor to us than to the king.
Lor: So what made you come here, sir?
.. Well, one very Important thing is that now, if you know, the king actually threatened us with civil war and we are not in a position to fight both the king and foreign enemies. Because if we enter into a civil war, the barbarians will definitely attack us and we must turn the threat into an opportunity and, with their cooperation, destroy the rule of the Foolish King forever.
That is why I want to first send Leia Hyera as a messenger of our goodwill to the barbarian court and I will go a few days later so that no one doubts and I can wait for the answer.
Story: First of all, we accept your order, but first, did the Pope give such an order? And that sending my only daughter to the barbarians is very dangerous for me!
.. Yes, don't worry, the Pope knows and that this is necessary for our future because we will most likely enter into a civil war in the future and we must have a strong ally and what better than the barbarians? And don't worry, we are sending Leia in complete secrecy and with the best guards.
And this is the last chance. Either we will be destroyed if we do not take action, or we will achieve our highest goal through the upcoming war and battle.
A New World with a New Order.
