Last Totem Novel - Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Be Vigilant
The old man let out a long sigh and said, “Everyone present, old friends who participated in the last war, or their successors, you may have forgotten, but I have not forgotten, and will never forget …”

“Even if I die tomorrow, I will still remember it before I die!”

“Be vigilant against the glorious remnants, the poem of the bright moon, the downpouring rain, the starless light, the statues of the mountains, the boundless swords, the horns of the ice plains, the harpoons of the deep sea, the eyes of the falcons …”

“No one will be willing to fight that war again. Back then, our 750,000 strong army …”

At this time, another old man suddenly stood up and interrupted the former, “Old Bruno! Don’t deliberately raise the enemy’s status and lower the glory of your people just to brag about your achievements!”

“Old Kriemans, you were one of the people who participated in the last war. Have you forgotten?” Old Bruno said emotionally as tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes.

“I haven’t forgotten, and I don’t dare to forget. Everything that happened back then is still fresh in my mind” Old Kriemans took a deep breath and stared at his old comrades with slightly red eyes. “But now, we have the two strongest forces in human history, 67 percent of the parishes, and the most advanced technology in the world. What else do we need to worry about?”

“That’s right. On the surface, we are indeed stronger than before. In terms of numbers and equipment, we are several times as strong as we were 183 years ago. But …” Old Bruno said. “Look at the young people nowadays, how many are devout? How many other sacrifices? Do you think you can win if you fight again? Especially the current Dawn expeditionary army, it’s almost rotting to the roots … ”

“What happened to the Dawn expeditionary army?” Saint Augustman Mordleton stood up and asked with a hint of fire. The reason he was angry was very simple, because the current marshal of the Dawn Expeditionary Army was his granddaughter. To accuse the Dawn Expeditionary Army is to accuse Yoga Lombar Mordleton.

“You’re already quite old, yet you’re still talking so excitedly. Your small heart and brain vessels have exploded, and you’ve already turned into Alzheimer’s.” Old Grisham hurriedly stood up and made up his mind.

“I see. You guys don’t have to fight anymore” An old woman wearing golden spectacles stood up trembling and said, “I won’t accept any of you pursuing me. I want to dedicate my life to the True God. All of you give up.”

“Uh …” “This …” “You sit down first, we didn’t fight.” “Old Grisham is right. We didn’t fight …”

The old woman sat down again and the four old men heaved a sigh of relief.

Following that, the atmosphere eased a lot.

Old Bruno waved his hand. “I have no intention of blaming my 11th granddaughter,” he said. “Even if it’s her fault, it’s not her fault. It’s the fault of old guys like us …” He paused. Looking around, After confirming that there are no objections, He continued, “The problem of corruption in the Dawn expeditionary army is not something that only started a few years ago. Rather, it has been a problem for a long time …” He shook his head and sighed. “Over the past few decades, it has become worse and worse. They have been pursuing their own personal interests with the banner of the Holy Light Cleaners. Some officers have even secretly raised female insecticides for them to play with …”

After hearing Old Bruno’s words, the elders fell silent. Actually, they all knew that the Dawn Expeditionary Army was a large army with numerous factions, and their relationships were complicated. The chains of interests were intertwined, entangled, unclear, and endless disputes and internal strife. Just like a terminally ill leprosy patient, his entire body was covered in poisonous tumors. If he wanted to completely remove it, he was afraid that his life would be damaged, and if he wanted to gradually treat it, it would be extremely difficult. As soon as he cured this place, it began to fester again, as if it was an endless cycle of reincarnation.

In silence, Old Bruno took out a yellowed letter from his bosom and read a paragraph of his diary.

“It has been many years since the war ended, but my heart is still heavy. Although we have won the final victory. If possible, I hope I can forget this history, forget this war. But I know that she has been deeply engraved in my mind, will accompany me to the end of life.

Today, I write this paragraph not to record our victory, but to pay our deepest respects to our opponent.

Dr3531, Sept. 23, the war came to an end. On this day, we attacked a stronghold of Glorious Faith.

After several battles, they were at the end of their rope, and there were only seriously injured people left in the stronghold. However, at that last moment, they still charged at us. They either leaned on crutches, pushed wheelchairs, or moved on the ground, singing their war songs and rushing towards us …

The scene at that time was something I had never seen before. Their will to fight, their determination to die, if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, it would have been unimaginable. Facing such an opponent, I was deeply shocked and terrified. However, I am not ashamed to be afraid of such an opponent. I think there was no one who wasn’t scared. I even began to doubt my beliefs. As a devout believer, a servant of the True God, I was willing to sacrifice my life for the Holy Light and glory at any time. But I know very well that we may never be able to do what they do.

None of them yielded, none of them gave up, none of them survived.

At this moment, standing at the window, facing north, I pay my deepest respects to our opponents. It is the greatest honor of my life to be able to fight them. At the same time, I would like to remind my descendants to remain vigilant and never underestimate them.

Even if one day, we become the masters of the world.

–Saint Zachary Bruno. ”

“This is the suicide note left behind by my cousin, the 477th Pope. We may not be able to change the situation for the time being, but we can minimize their threat.”

“We all know that the brilliant remnants still exist. They call themselves’ Fire Seeds’ and hide in a dark corner, ready to move …”

“However, as long as there is no advanced mechanical power armor, they will never be able to contend against us.”

“That’s my point. I’m done.” Old Bruno finished his speech and slowly sat down. Afterwards, the conference hall fell into a long silence …

After an unknown amount of time, a clear voice suddenly broke the silence.

“Grandparents, please listen to your little opinion.” Then, her gaze peacefully swept across the entire arena. In silence, she said slowly, “Since ancient times, decay breeds in ease …”

“The treasured sword is dusty. That’s because there is no conflict over the throne. The hero is asleep. That’s because there is no equal challenge.”

“Although I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, I can feel the magnificence and magnificence of that great battle from the lines of the ancient books.”

“Facing the crazy heretics, our knights, guided by the Holy Light, dared to move forward, invincible, and ultimately won the entire world.”

“We are the victors, they are the losers!”

“However, as the victors, we are proud, so we have some small flaws.”

“But that’s not important. When our enemies reappear, I believe our knights will polish their swords, revive their majesty, and let the holy light shine on every corner of the world.”

“Even if they possess the same level of technology as us, such as the Black Oil Powertrain, we can still defeat them, wipe them out, and destroy them again, just like we did 200 years ago!”

“These brilliant remnants are hiding in the shadows like rats in a sewer, dirty and ugly.”

“Compared to them, we are cats. Even if we are crippled, blind, have lost all our teeth, and have lost our tails, we are still their natural enemies.”

‘”Let’s imagine how lonely the cat would be if there were no rats in the world.” Then, her expression froze and her eyes revealed a ferocious expression. “Just as a lion wants to tear open its flesh, a wolf wants to bite its throat, and our sword wants to drink the blood of the glorious remnants!” You Ge smiled craftily.

“Grandparents, You Ge is finished.”

After a moment of silence, a burst of soft applause rang out in the meeting hall.

“She’s my granddaughter.” “She’s my great-granddaughter.” “She is my eighth granddaughter.” “She is my 11th granddaughter.” “When she was young, I gave her candy.” “Candy is nothing. I even took her to the circus.” “I knitted her a scarf.”

“As expected of our bloodline. The longer we grow, the more beautiful we will be.” “Look at her nose, it’s exactly the same as when her grandmother was young.” “Look, the ears of the Bruno family. Look if my ears are printed in the same mold as hers.”

Old man, the old ladies began to discuss again until the sun set and the meeting ended …

In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the rows of towers that towered into the clouds. There was a long iron rod inserted at the top of the steeple, and at the end of the iron rod was welded a semi-circular iron ring and a short horizontal iron rod, forming the shape of a cross. If one were to stand in the clouds and look down, one would see that the bottom of the steeple was covered in layers of glazed roof tiles. At this moment, the translucent glazed tile was reflecting a faint golden light, as if it had coated the solemn Sun Temple with a layer of golden sand.

A moment later, under the gathering of the iron guards, You Ge left the meeting hall of the Council of Elders. On the way to the apron, William Reinhart chased after him.

“Cousin You Ge, I apologize for my ignorant younger brother.” William said sincerely and calmly.

“Cousin William, I owe you an apology for what happened last time. I went too far. I hope that the Reinharts will forgive me.” You Ge nods slightly and says sincerely.

“You mean” William looked at his distant cousin’s delicate face and asked carefully.

“It’s even.” You Ge raises his head and says.

“That’s great.” William let out a sigh of relief and said excitedly when he heard Little Demon’s reply.

But at this moment, You Ge suddenly lengthens his voice and says, “But …”

“What’s the matter?” William’s expression changed as he hurriedly asked.

“On the summer agenda of the World Council this year …”

You Ge said slightly, William hurriedly said: “On behalf of the Reinhart family, I will fully support You Ge cousin.”

“Thank you.” You Ge smiles faintly, then she raises her head and looks into the sky. After a few seconds of silence, she seemed to be talking to herself as she leisurely said, “I will send someone to talk to them at the New Moon Alliance. They always hold onto a little past matter. It’s really annoying.”

William was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He bowed in surprise and said, “My princess, William, on behalf of all the members of the Rhinehart family, expresses our sincere gratitude to you!”
