Chapter 143: Topaz's Shock! The Will Of Belobog! March Towards Death!
They have fought with the Antimatter Legion 700 ago and the effects of the stellaron from then, and were almost wiped out. If they are not afraid of such things, why would they be afraid of the IPC? At worst, they can fight with the IPC for another 700 years!
It's time to let the IPC see how powerful the Belobog is!
From miners to scholars, everyone gathered together.
Under the leadership of the military, people gathered in front of Qlipoth Fort and expressed their opinions in a grand manner to support Bronya's decision.
------------------------
On the other side, Himeko and the other two who went to persuade Topaz had already arrived in front of the factory.
Here, everyone met Svarog. The fans were very angry about this robot who agreed to act as a guide. But at the intersection, Svarog rationally told them what he saw and heard.
"I did not have any conflict with the IPC's messenger."
"Topaz is just ahead, and in her opinion, incorporating Belobog into the IPC is the only way for Belobog to survive."
"Although I hold a different view, it is difficult to find evidence to refute it with my current computing power."
"Although the chance is low, I hope you can avoid conflict."
From Svarog's words, Topaz's position and goal are really sincere, but her method is a bit too overbearing.
March 7th was shocked by Svarog's words.
"Very low chance… Even Svarog said so.…"
However, Himeko smiled faintly, "Don't panic, Little March, although the Astral Express never advocates conflicts, we are never afraid when it comes to fighting!"
"That's how we've been here, isn't it?" Faced with the possible fight with the IPC, Himeko, the navigator, was surprisingly calm.
It was obvious that she had seen big scenes before.
Her calm words made the audience imagine a lot.
On the screen, with Himeko's words, March 7th and Stelle were relieved.
The three of them stepped into the factory grounds together.
On the huge and spacious flat ground, like a competition stage, everyone saw Topaz.
"You're finally here. I thought you guys were going to miss it."
"Hey, the people around Miss March look familiar."
Topaz turned around without surprise, with a smile on her face and full of confidence in her eyes.
It seemed that nothing could escape her plan.
She was determined to get Jarilo.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Topaz, I am Himeko, the express's navigator." Himeko smiled and introduced herself.
After this introduction, Topaz finally remembered, "Oh, I remember now! So you are the famous Ms. Himeko!"
"I have several colleagues who admire you very much, and they dream of chatting with you."
Topaz's eyes lit up, and he spoke excitedly, even her speech speed became faster.
Stelle and March 7th's reactions at this moment perfectly expressed the audience's mood.
The two looked at each other, and for the first time they felt that the express seemed to be a really awesome existence in the universe.
Sensing their doubt, Topaz smiled and explained, "Don't underestimate the reputation of the nameless guest in the galaxy. After all, you are following in the footsteps of the famous Akivili!"
...
: Ah, I am looking forward to the plot of the express crew and the plot of Akivili!
: In addition to the main drama, I wonder how many thrilling stories the express crew has experienced.
: If Honkai: Star Rail is compared to other novels, then the express crew must be at the forefront of the five sects and eight schools.
: Damn, I am so looking forward to it, when will the content of Nameless be released!
: Akivili feels more and more handsome! It is worthy of the fate of the protagonist group!
...
Fans were dazzled by his influence even after he had gone missing.
This mysterious and powerful feeling was too tempting.
But this kind of polite words.
That's where it ends.
Himeko and Topaz, both of them had smiles on their faces.
But their words were full of gunpowder.
March 7th and Stelle were trembling in the back.
"Ms. Himeko, the deadline has long passed, and Bronya has not signed yet. I can tell at a glance where the resistance behind this comes from."
Topaz smiled as if he had known it for a long time.
"No offense, Miss Topaz, but on this planet, there are friends we cherish, and as friends, saying nothing, doing nothing, and watching them sign an unequal treaty, this is not Nameless's style."
Himeko said with a faint smile.
"Himeko, is this a negotiation?" March 7th said weakly from behind.
"Don't worry, March, she had already decided what to do ten minutes ago." Himeko said calmly without changing her expression.
"As expected of the navigator of the express crew, you have extraordinary insight."
Topaz said with a smile, and then her cell phone rang.
She took out her cell phone and nodded with a smile.
"Hey, what's wrong?" March 7th asked stupidly from behind.
"It's nothing, it's just that the approval has been passed." Topaz turned off her phone and looked up at the express members in front of her. Her originally gentle features had a hint of warlike aura.
"The request to launch a special attack on the members of the Astral Express has been approved!" The sudden words made March and Stelle's expressions change drastically.
Only Himeko remained calm.
"Fortunately, I applied for information about the Astral Express and its nameless passengers before coming here."
"Our different positions do not mean that we are right or wrong, but in order to advance the work, this is the only way."
"Those who gave Bronya the confidence should take a break for a while."
Topaz said as she turned and walked towards the center of the stage.
"It was also because of Nameless that the IPC lost the high-quality asset of Penacony."
"But such a thing will never happen to me."
As she finished speaking, a large number of employees of Interastral Peace Corporation were transferred to the venue through the dimensional portal.
After a while, a dense array was formed behind Topaz.
Trailblaze and preservation.
The confrontation between the train and the IPC made the audience open their eyes wide.
Whether it was this scene or the conversation just now, a huge amount of information was revealed.
...
: Nameless took the lead and caused the IPC to lose Penacony? I go?
: What is going on? The IPC feels that it still cooperates with the Astral express and respects the Astral express, but in fact, the two seem to be often hostile?
: But the Astral express is obviously weaker in terms of numbers and power than the IPC, so how did it defeat the IPC?
: Ah ah ah, MiHoYo, stop digging holes, I can't stand it anymore.
...
The audience was going crazy.
At the same time, the atmosphere was tense and tense.
But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind the train.
It was Bronya. She arrived at the critical moment.
Topaz was not surprised by this, but spread his hands and said, "Miss Great Guardian, I thought you would push the Astral express to the front and wait for the result at the back."
"This is not like you."
The provocation in the words was useless to Bronya.
She looked straight into Topaz's eyes and said calmly, "Of course not, the reason why I came a step late is because I have an important matter to deal with."
"Important things?" Topaz was silent for a moment, "More important than what's happening now?"
"Yes, you can probably tell at a glance, so I want you to evaluate our current results."
Bronya replied in a serious tone.
All this was beyond Topaz's expectations.
In her original conception, Bronya should have fought directly against her together with the Astral express.
This was the first time that things were beyond Topaz's control. She listened quietly to the words of the great guardian.
"I have read your letter word for word, Miss Topaz, and I feel deeply sad about your childhood and your home planet."
"Although the disasters that Jarilo and your hometown encountered were similar, the process was different."
"So I understand your position, and it is out of this empathy that I hope we can reach a consensus."
"In a peaceful way!"
Bronya's words were as sincere as Topaz's letter.
"I have to admit, it's nice chatting with you. I'm sorry if I was a little offended just now."
"Now that we have come to this, I will go with you."
Topaz laughed and shook his head, then added, "But I want to warn you that it is not easy to change the decision of the higher-ups."
Following the train crew and Topaz, Bronya left.
The audience held their breath.
They knew that what they would see next should be Bronya or Jarilo's bargaining chip.
Following the camera.
A group of IPC members passed through the square in front of Qlipoth Fort.
Here, Topaz saw these Belobog people who shared the same hatred for the enemy.
This scene made Topaz a little dazed.
They passed the place where the great battle with Cocolia took place.
Finally, they passed through the tunnel in the mountains.
When everything in front of her was revealed.
Topaz slowly widened her eyes and exclaimed.
At the bottom of the valley.
A huge robot is standing here.
All around it, there are all kinds of equipment, and countless people are climbing on these ladders, as if they are doing repair work.
And on the roads and camps below, there are all Belobog people.
Young people are carrying boxes and heavy objects, shuttling back and forth on the road.
On top of the wooden boxes, people were doing the work of collecting.
Many children, led by Hook and Natasha, delivered food supplies and water to those who are tired.
When a wall collapsed at the construction site, the guard officer Gepard rushed up to protect the girl under the wall.
The heavy snow still couldn't stop the people of Belobog.
Even this bustling scene.
Topaz didn't feel the biting cold wind, but instead, there was a warmth in her heart.
She was a little dazed.
"I want to fight for a chance for them!" Leaning against the Creation Engine, Bronya solemnly issued the will of the people.
"The Creation Engine was built entirely by the Belobogs themselves, without any external technology. It is the crystallization of the architects' technology."
"When the disaster struck, the soldiers fought bloody battles in the front, and the architects designed and built day and night in the rear."
Topaz took a breath, came back to his senses, looked at the creation engine, and asked, "Is that the war weapon you developed independently?"
"Yes! But no!" Bronya looked at Topaz and said word by word, "At the beginning of the battle, the Creation Engine helped a lot, and even temporarily destroyed the advance offensive of the Antimatter Legion."
"But the first Great Guardian, Alisa Rand, had a longer-term vision. She called the Creation Engine the Geological Transformation Engineering Unit."
"The true mission it was given was to drive out all enemies that attempted to harm this world, and then rebuild our planet!"
Bronya's words were extremely tenacious.
This was the flavor that belonged only to the Belobog.
"The first Great Guardian was truly an outstanding person, and of course, the current one is no exception." Topaz took a breath.
"I am not good, I just rallied the people of Belobog and told them that Belobog's freedom is once again threatened."
"If we want to protect this freedom, we must take action and prove it to all those who doubt us!"
"We have the will and the ability to control our own destiny!"
Bronya said decisively, without the hesitation she had in Qlipoth Fort not long ago, "And the result of that is right in front of you, Miss Topaz!"
Regarding the words about the creation engine, the hidden meaning is already very clear.
Belobog has the ability to build its own machinery, and can even resist the antimatter legion and the eternal freeze for seven hundred years!
It can be used for construction, but it can also be used for fighting!
When the crisis reaches the freedom of all residents of Belobog, even without those automatic robots relying on the IPC made.
We Belobog also have the ability to fight to the end and beat you out!
And now, the IPC is the one playing the role of the invader!
The people here. They have fought a bloody battle with the eternal freeze for seven hundred years.
Even if they are going to lose their country, they will walk into the darkness hand in hand.
The blood of countless heroes in the past seven hundred years has nourished the growth of each generation of Belobog people!
How could such people choose to surrender and abandon their freedom like Topaz's hometown?
In Belobog, even children won't give in!
...
: I'm boiling! It's on fire!
: It's worthy of being the place where the famous song "Wildfire" was born, this is the taste!
: What can really exchange for freedom is never surrender, nor love and peace, but fists! It is struggle! It is the determination to dare to show the sword!
: This is Belobog!
: It was not the IPC's loan that stopped the disaster! It was the Belobog people themselves!
: Topaz substituted her hometown for this, she never thought that Belobog City's choice was to march towards death!
: Whoever dares to trample on our freedom is our enemy! We will drive them all out!
...
Listening to Bronya's words, the IPC's senior executive, the director of the strategic investment department, was absent-minded for the first time in a long time.
Topaz, who grew up in her hometown, successfully became an employee of the IPC, and climbed all the way to her current position, really felt that the choice of her hometown was the best choice for Jarilo at present.
But now, when Belobog's choice was placed in front of Topaz, her long-held concept was shaken.
Whether it is the bustling reconstruction scene here, or the people in the main city who are ready to fight the IPC to the end at any time, they are all different from her hometown.
"I..." Topaz opened her mouth, not knowing how to start.
She realized that she had made a serious mistake.
She overestimated herself, underestimated Jarilo, and used her hometown's experience as a universal template.
She should have realized that the City of Belobog was completely different from her hometown when she was collecting intelligence!
