Dawn of a New Era

The news of Chen Shouyi's killing of the Lord of Lightning, like a pebble thrown in a calm lake, quickly spread and fermented in a short period of time.

From the Country of Rising Sun in the east, to the European Union in the west, to the Country of Lucy in the north, to the Country of West India in the south, and even those occupied areas.

The whole world was shaken, as if an earthquake of magnitude nine had been set off,

It's just that some are rejoicing and ecstatic, while others are trembling and terrified.

This moment.

The Holy Alliance, the mood is not very good, or heavy.

This is the mortal kingdom of the Lord of Lightning, not only including the United States, its territory covers the entire North and South America, and its land area is as high as 42 million square kilometers. In a sense, this is the largest country in history.

Newport City.

This once prosperous international metropolis, the world's financial center, has rapidly become dilapidated over the past year, and is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.

The weather was gray, and the air was filled with a depressive and sad atmosphere. There were faint gunshots and cries. Countless policemen and soldiers in black clothes with the emblem of the God of Lightning, fully armed, were walking on the street. He patrolled up and down with a dignified expression.

Since the night of the incident, Xingang City has been under full martial law and has entered a state of first-level combat readiness. All citizens are strictly ordered not to go out, otherwise they will be killed.

James exhaled and motioned to his young partner, Smok a cigarette.

Hawke nodded.

The two walked to the corner, James took out a cigarette and threw one over, lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, exhaling thick smoke.

No one spoke, and everyone was silently thinking about their own thoughts.

James understands too.

Over the past year, with faith as the key link, informers have been popular, spies are everywhere, cruel officials and torture are daunting, society has become more oppressive, people have become indifferent and defensive, and unbelievers who have been arrested or killed on the spot by others alone There are a dozen of them.

Although he also knows that many people are innocent.

Sometimes an unintentional remark, a carelessness, is evidence of blasphemy.

It's just that as a policeman, he can't help himself, and he can't even have the slightest sympathy. Maybe in the next second, he will be arrested, and the informer is someone close to him.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little uncomfortable, James exhaled a smoke ring to break the silence:

I heard you talked about a girlfriend?

Divided! Hawk said taciturnly.

Divided? James was surprised.

She's just a superficial believer. She doesn't have much faith at all. Rather than being sent to prison by me in the end, it's better to separate early. Hawke glanced at him, fell silent for a while, and said.

James patted him on the shoulder and said: This is very good. As a policeman, relatives are the most taboo issue. You must be strict with yourself, especially during this time...

Hawk nodded, feeling confused.

He has also felt that a huge storm is brewing in the seemingly peaceful Holy Alliance.

The Lord of Lightning has fallen, so how could nothing have happened. This incident led to the complete collapse of the foundation of the Holy Alliance and the nation--the belief.

Soldiers can condense into one,

Obeying orders also relies on faith in the lord and fighting for the Lord.

But when the gods of faith fall.

The foundation that was originally condensed into one strand no longer exists.

...

However, these are none of their business, they are just little policemen, just eating and drinking.

Not long after the fall, the original police officers were notified to return to work. The only difference was that they changed their uniforms. After all, no matter how society changes, experienced police officers like them are still necessary.

It was just foreseeable that in the next period of time, the social atmosphere would become extremely depressed, and they would also become busier.

At this time, there was a gunshot in the distance:

There is a situation! Hawke said.

Never mind, it's none of our business, we just need to maintain law and order. James motioned to the soldiers in the distance and said.

The two looked at each other and suddenly smiled.

For some reason, Hawke suddenly felt a long-lost relief, as if a heavy boulder had been lifted from his chest, and everything around him became brighter.

fuck the faith,

Fuck Lord of Lightning,

Lao Tzu is an unbeliever!

...

Hwaseong, the capital of the Holy Alliance.

In the meeting room of a magnificent church newly built this year, thousands of priests from different dioceses gathered and had heated debates.

Everyone's face is anxious, excited, angry mixed with sadness, bewildered and uneasy.

The fall of the Lord of Lightning made them feel as if the sky had fallen, but they were more worried about their own situation.

Just over ten hours ago, they were still excited about the Lord of Lightning's coming to the world, planning what kind of reward they would receive after global unification, and discussing how beautiful the whole world would become.

However, what he didn't expect at all was that it was a bolt from the blue.

A nightmare I don't want to recall.

It's over, it's all over.

Silence, silence... On the rostrum, the leader shouted a few times to no avail, and suddenly said angrily, Shut the fuck up.

This is an elderly white man wearing a crown, with silver hair combed meticulously, with puffed blue eye bags, he glanced majestically, and the meeting room immediately fell silent:

It's all a bunch of trash!

The sky is still not falling. Which parish has a rebellion now? We still have the nuclear bomb, and we also have the army. They have one interest with us, and they are even part of us.

That's right, many people have gradually come to their senses and settled down in their hearts.

During the great clean-up of the army in these years, whoever is able to rise to the top is spotless and pure, and everyone is one of their own, with vested interests.

As long as the army is not chaotic.

Even if the country is in chaos, it is temporary.

Moreover, North and South America and the World Island are separated by a sea. This is a land chosen by heaven. With the current level of technology of human countries, who can break in?

What's more, the Holy Alliance is not made of mud.

Even if there is no lord, they are the overlords of the world.

...

The meeting will be over soon.

The head teacher stood up and walked out of the meeting room quickly to attend another meeting.

The main generals of the Holy Alliance gathered there.

Don't look at his face full of confidence in the previous meeting, everything is under control, but in fact, he knows better than anyone that the current situation is at stake, and walking a tightrope is not an exaggeration.

How did the former Lucy Kingdom disintegrate?

But the current situation in the Holy Alliance is a hundred times, a thousand times more severe than that.

This is a breakdown of faith!

It is also a collapse of people's hearts.

If one is not good, the entire Holy Alliance will fall apart overnight, and even warlords will fight.

At that time, it will be difficult for him, as the leader of the church, and those priests who used to be high above him, to survive.
