Chapter 325 The Senior with the Most Rebellion Experience
When Allen saw Amber, he was completely stunned.
How did he run here and meet that lich? Didn't he go to harm the elves in Silvermoon High Court?
Could it be that the elves have been bankrupted by him, so they set their sights on Ryan's warehouse? This is not a trick, but a steal?
Amber was also quite shocked. How did this guy break in from outside? The defensive magic circle of this city is not only aimed at liches. Ryan's enemies are not just undead, sometimes even some humans are their enemies.
The two were silent for a moment. Amber opened his private space and said to Allen: "Someone will patrol here soon. Let's go in and talk!"
Allen hesitated for a moment, and then followed Amber into the space crack.
When he walked into Amber's private space, Allen felt a little funny. Why did he trust this lich so much, but he had to sneak into Ryan's city for fear of being discovered.
The world is really changing too fast.
Amber Xiu didn't bother to be polite with Allen, and didn't even pour him a cup of tea. He asked straight to the point: "Why did you sneak into Liuyan City? You are no different from Ryan's wanted criminal now, aren't you afraid of being caught and convicted of treason?"
Alan said helplessly: "I heard that Ryan is going to send troops to the Unholy Song. Once those hell gates explode, it won't just be the people of Ryan who are injured, the entire continent will be polluted by the breath of hell, and I can't sit idly by. So, I want to stop Ryan from sending troops."
"Just you alone?"
Amber Xiu really didn't underestimate Allen. Ryan was such a terrible behemoth that Amber Xiu himself didn't dare to say that he could settle the matter. Perhaps the Mourning Poetry Society can only demolish Liuyan City if it gathers again. Allen seems to have made great progress, but he doesn't have the ability to turn the tide.
Allen didn't care about Amber Xiu's ridicule, but just said calmly: "I know I'm useless alone, but I can't do nothing just because I'm useless."
"What's your plan then?" Amber Xiu asked curiously.
"Burning their granaries and destroying their equipment can at least delay time." Allen said.
"It's really a simple and crude method. It can't be said to be ineffective, but you know Ryan's logistical capabilities. What's missing can be replenished in a few days."
Ryan has enjoyed the dividends of faith for more than a thousand years. No matter whether they are becoming more and more extreme, because Arthur Ryan has set a good example, both nobles and civilians are proud of dedication. Outsiders rarely hear that any Ryan noble committed crimes because of greed, but they often hear that they are too harsh on their descendants and force naturally weak children to join the army, resulting in various human tragedies.
The upper class follows the lower class. Ryan is very fanatical in military affairs. As a result, he has been invincible for so many years, and the preparation of war materials is also extremely sufficient.
Let alone the loss of this warehouse, burning ten will not have much impact, because there will be a steady stream of materials sent from the rear through the teleportation array, which is completely regardless of cost.
Moreover, Amber Xiu had seen the scene of Ryan's attack, so
This is also the reason why Amber Xiu was too lazy to set a fire, which was basically a waste of effort.
Alan was also very clear about this, but apart from setting a fire, he could not think of any way to stop the war.
"So, have you decided to stop this war? Are you not afraid of any sacrifice?" Amber Xiu asked.
Alan nodded and said firmly: "This is an unjust war. We have no reason to invade the Unholy Song. When I was still in Ryan, I found that there was a layer of fog in front of me that made me unable to see clearly. After traveling for so long, I can finally stand on the real fair position to look at the problem.
"There is no doubt that the wars launched by Ryan in the past five hundred years are all unjust wars. My teacher has long seen this fact, but he doesn't know why, and he didn't resist until his death."
Amber Xiu knew that Alan was talking about the Silver Moon Knight, the most famous paladin after Arthur Ryan.
"That's because the Silver Moon Knight is like your father. They don't know how to change this empire. They are all powerful people. Once they have a fierce conflict with the empire, it will lead to the division of the country. At that time, they didn't know how many people would die. They didn't dare, or couldn't bear to make this decision. So, they could only be repairmen. Wherever there was a hole in the empire, they would fill it with their own lives.
"Alan, you are different. Your original responsibility is lighter than theirs, so your leaving Ryan will not cause too much turmoil. But because of this, your reputation cannot be compared with the Silver Moon Knight and the Supreme Judgment. If you want to change Ryan, you will have to bear greater resistance."
It is for this reason that Amber Xiu has always believed that the key to change lies in Alan, not his father. The older generation has merged with the rigid empire and cannot move at all.
Alan can leave Ryan to see the real world, which is the key to his future change in Ryan.
But now he is still too young.
After listening to Amber's words, Allen was thoughtful. He didn't expect that the lich's words were quite reasonable. He used to think that he was a terrible liar, but he didn't expect that the lich was quite insightful. He had only vaguely sensed these truths before, but he couldn't summarize them so accurately.
Allen's impression of Amber changed a little, and he couldn't help asking, "Then why are you here?"
Amber said, "I'm the same as you. I want to stop Ryan from invading the Unholy Song, but it seems that there is no way."
"Huh?"
Allen never expected that Amber would give him this answer. A lich came to stop the war. This was not right no matter how you looked at it. It was completely contrary to the position of the lich.
"What? Didn't I do this kind of thing a long time ago? You Ryan even sent me a commendation."
Allen then remembered that Amber did stop the war between the elves and the dwarves, although outsiders still don't know how he did it.
Allen couldn't help but ask, "Master Ultraman, I'm going to ask you something. You are just pretending to be greedy for money. World peace is your obsession with the undead, right?"
Amber Xiu: ...
This misunderstanding is really a bit outrageous.
However, Allen mentioned this matter, and Amber Xiu simply invited another senior who loves to save the world.
"Alan, come with me, I'll show you something exciting."
Alan frowned, feeling that this sounded very strange. He couldn't help but think of the first time he met Amber Xiu, and he cheated him out of 5,000 gold coins in just three sentences. Isn't he going to cheat himself again?
However, Allen soon relaxed. He didn't have a penny now, so what was he afraid of?
After confirming this, Allen boldly followed Amber Xiu.
After a while, Allen was brought to an hourglass emitting holy light by Amber Xiu.
"Is this... a divine weapon?"
Alan could sense the powerful holy light emitting from the hourglass, just like the divine weapon he had seen in the capital of Ryan.
Amber Xiu laughed and said to Allen very seriously: "You'd better be prepared and don't be scared."
Alan said confidently: "I am no longer the naive boy I was before. I have traveled around the continent during this period. I have seen everything. A divine weapon can't scare me."
"Okay, I like your confidence." Amber Xiu rubbed his fingers together, and the soul breath was crushed between his fingers, turning into a thread and sinking into the hourglass. "Your Majesty, this young man is in confusion and needs your guidance."
A silver-white heroic spirit slowly emerged on the hourglass.
Allen was stunned when Amber Xiu said the word "Your Majesty", and he was dumbfounded until he saw the heroic spirit of Arthur Ryan.
After a few seconds, Allen screamed like a child: "Ahhh! Your Majesty! I...you...his...father..."
Every Ryan has an idol in his heart, that is Arthur Ryan. Allen was so excited that he was incoherent and didn't even know where to put his hands.
Allen never doubted that the heroic spirit in front of him was fake, because the holy light he controlled was so pure. Allen recognized it at a glance. It was the holy light as powerful as his teacher, the Silver Moon Knight. It was absolutely impossible to fake it.
Arthur Ryan was as humble as ever. He greeted Allen in a friendly manner and comforted the frightened child.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not the real Arthur Ryan. I'm just a heroic spirit who inherited some of his memories. You don't have to treat me as the great emperor."
Amber Xiu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this Alan Watson is a young man who just defected from Ryan. He is disappointed with the empire and now wants to rebel, so I ask you to give him some advice."
Amber Xiu has always forgotten this great god. When it comes to rebellion, no one knows more about it than Arthur Ryan. Although the heroic spirit only has the early memories, Arthur Ryan at that time was already a hero who raised the banner of rebellion against the tyrant. At most, he had little experience in governing the country, but the experience of rebellion was enough.
When Allen heard this, he was so scared that he almost drew his sword to kill Amber. He quickly explained: "Your Majesty, it's not like that. Don't listen to the nonsense of this lich. I didn't think of rebelling. I really didn't!"
Alan didn't even bother to ask about the origin of the heroic spirit. He just wanted to try his best to explain.
Arthur Ryan smiled and said: "Alan, don't be nervous. I don't want to blame you. Your last name is Watson. James Watson is your father?"
Alan quickly said: "Yes, he is the supreme judge of Ryan now. I have been taught by my father since I was a child. It is impossible for me to betray the empire."
But Amber added lightly: "Just now you wanted to burn the armory and granary of the Ryan people."
"This...I...that..." Allen said to Amber angrily: "Damn lich, I will duel with you!"
Alan couldn't accept that he was slandered in front of his idol, but he really didn't know how to explain it for a while.
Arthur Lane said to Amber Xiu: "Okay, you are hundreds of years older than him. Do you have the nerve to keep bullying a child?"
Amber Xiu laughed and said, "I am testing him. If he doesn't even dare to admit his own heart, what can you teach him? At the beginning, the Dragon Tyrant was the orthodoxy and the ruler of the world. You wanted to rebel against the orthodoxy, so you gathered everyone's strength to rebel. Now Ryan is the orthodoxy. If Allen loses his original position because of seeing you, he is not qualified to inherit your legacy."
Arthur Ryan couldn't refute it. Although Amber Xiu's words were a bit cruel, they were true.
A warrior who resists a tyrant cannot let his position waver just because he met a predecessor.
Arthur Ryan said to Allen: "Young man, tell me sincerely, do you think Ryan is still worthy of your loyalty now?"
