Casting spells

As for whether this method of re-popularizing the power of shadows will awaken the god who has been sleeping for thousands of years, he doesn't care at all.

After all, to a certain extent, the situation of the Shadow Guards is too miserable. Even if they return to the era of theocracy, their lives will be better than they are now.

"That's right! The powers of Parliament must be limited!"

"They are the real traitors! I support the Shadow Guard to stand up and supervise the parliament!"

"And the speaker! He who signed the pardon statement must surrender his right to step down!"

……

All of a sudden, shouts of anger and dissatisfaction could be heard everywhere in the sky above the ruined camp.

Appreciating the angry or sad faces, the leader raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a smug smile.

He understands that when the plan reaches this stage, the parliament must make corresponding compromises, whether they are willing or not.

Unless the speaker goes completely crazy and kills the entire expeditionary force on this planet.

Of course, the probability of this is negligibly small.

Even if the speaker is really crazy, those members of parliament will join forces to stop his crazy behavior.

Population, especially the professionally trained elite, is very valuable in any civilization.

If all the expeditionary forces die, the council will not only have to face the angry people on the home planet, but also give up countless worlds that have already been occupied and started to plunder resources.

"Congratulations, it seems that you have obtained what you want, doesn't it?" The boy raised his head and stared into the other's eyes that were almost filled with ambition and desire.

"Ah! I also want to thank you for your cooperation. Don't worry, when those guys from the council come back, I will give you the part you want..."

Chapter 390 Compromise

There is no doubt that the Shadow Guard's instigation of the expeditionary force was so successful that when the speaker rushed back with the MPs, the situation had long been out of control.

Before they even had time to explain anything to the angry crowd, they were forced to summon the members of the Shadow Guard and the boy they captured immediately.

"I think I need an explanation."

Hearing the questioning and shouting from outside the temporary building, the speaker squinted his eyes and stared at these guys with completely different attitudes from before, holding the magic item tightly in his hand, as if he might turn his face at any time.

But this is not surprising!

After all, what the Shadow Guard did this time was a bit too much, and it can even be described as sad and mad.

But unfortunately, except for the pardon statement signed by himself, he failed to grasp the handle of the other party.

The leader of the shadow guard obviously sensed the anger accumulated in the chairman's heart, and responded with a smile: "No, I don't think I need to explain anything. After all, you broke your promise first, and we were just forced to make Some countermeasures. Please remember that the Shadow Guard is not an appendage of the Parliament, but an organization independent of the authority. Please don't treat us as your subordinates or servants, let alone try to make us fools."

"Breaking the promise? Do you mean that I didn't give you enough time to let the expeditionary force cross the portal in advance?" The speaker's pupils shrank suddenly.

"That's right! It was from this moment that I realized that neither you nor the parliament meant to keep our promises. Therefore, we must rely on ourselves to protect the part we deserve. Now, I have followed your request and put this The boy was brought back alive. Next, you should fulfill your promise." The leader did not intend to hide at all, and expressed the desire deep in his heart openly.

In fact, at this point in the plan, most of them can no longer hide it anymore, and simply admit it directly.

Only in this way can the last and most important part be covered up.

"Hmph! Don't you really want the Shadow Guard to become a supervisor? What's more, you violated the taboo of the Shadow Guard for thousands of years and reawakened the power of shadow in the group. With this, I can clean you up and select a new group of adaptable ones to inherit the name and functions of the Shadow Guard." The speaker grinned and showed a chilling sneer.

If the other party dared to reveal the slightest tendency to do so, he would absolutely mercilessly launch a major cleansing.

In the eyes of the high-ranking decision makers of Darente, if something really threatened the foundation of the entire civilization, it would not be unacceptable to launch a bloody purge.

You must know that after the battle with the gods was over, they killed all the compatriots who were unwilling to voluntarily give up the power of shadow.

It was precisely because of this brutal cleansing that the foundation of the glorious magic civilization that followed was completely laid.

Sometimes, unrest and killing are not necessarily bad things for a civilization.

On the contrary, when the old things are destroyed, the new things will take root and thrive at an extremely fast speed.

The leader of the shadow guard obviously sensed the undisguised strong malice of the other party, and shook his head pretending to be relaxed: "No! Of course not! I am not so whimsical. My brothers and sisters and I only want what we deserve. Part of it. As for the guys outside who have awakened the power of shadow, you can deal with them whatever you want."

"Really?" The speaker leaned forward slightly, as if confirming whether the sentence was true or false.

"Really! It never seemed to me that I was going to get my hands on the council's rights, but that I wanted to be part of the community again, not in that smelly, dark, cold, abandoned temple. You didn't live in it, I will never understand the pain that cannot be described in words."

While saying these words, every member of the Shadow Guard had an expression of hatred on their faces.

For the vast majority of normal people, living in a completely closed environment for a few hours or even a few days will cause serious psychological shadows, and even mental illness, let alone thousands of years.

However, the speaker is obviously not so easy to believe, and has been constantly checking the eyes of the members of the shadow guard.

After a full minute, he relaxed a little bit of his tense nerves, and said in a slightly tired voice: "Since you only want these, I can meet your requirements. But there is one thing, you must go to Deal with the instigated expeditionary forces out there and make sure they are back under the leadership and orders of Parliament."

"No problem! We will solve the trouble we caused by ourselves. This is fair!" The leader of the shadow guard agreed without thinking.

After all, this matter is in his favor. Not only can he take the opportunity to recruit a group of talented guys, quietly expand the influence of the Shadow Guard, but also get involved in the army, and even win over a few senior officers.

"Very good! Here, here is a new identity for you. Remember, don't play similar tricks a second time, my patience has a limit." After finishing speaking, the speaker left several slates recording the new identity On the table, at the same time waved to indicate that the other party could leave.

After all the members of the Shadow Guard were gone, he turned his eyes to the trapped boy and asked coldly: "How about it, are you starting to regret your stupid behavior now? You could have used another A gentle way to integrate into this glorious and great civilization, but chose the most drastic way."

"Regret? Why should I regret? What's more, you haven't even dealt with those masterminds, so how can you be willing to deal with me as a collaborator." The boy responded with a smile.

From that relaxed and happy face, there was no sign of the consciousness that a prisoner should have.

On the contrary, it seems that in his eyes, this is just a game, a game that can end without paying any price.

The speaker smiled disdainfully: "Hmph! Do you think I don't know that those bastards are secretly passing information to you? No! I know! And it's no less than you know. It's just that I didn't expose them, but chose to Compromise. Because the Darente civilization will need to devote all its energy to the study of your bloodline for a long time to come. During this period, the parliament cannot spare too many manpower to maintain the huge conquest system. And they are temporary replacements. When the research is over, no matter what they do during this period, they will eventually become insignificant dust in the long history..."

Chapter 390 Three Days of Becoming a Captive

Needless to say, politics is the art of compromise.

Any organization or even civilization is full of various contradictions and conflicts of interests without exception.

As the supreme ruler, what we need to do is not to intensify conflicts, let alone start a big purge without asking about 21, and kill all those who disagree, leaving only one voice and one will.

Generally speaking, anyone who does this will not end well in the end.

Even if it succeeds, it is destined to become the object of reviled by countless people.

Although the Darente civilization is an oligarchic political group composed of a few powerful spellcasters, and the speaker has considerable rights, he cannot do whatever he wants.

So on the way back, he discussed with other councilors and decided to stabilize the Shadow Guard first, instead of directly choosing to use that powerful magic item.

In this way, not only can political risks be greatly reduced, but colleagues can also use waste to allow the Shadow Guard to settle those planets that need to be reconquered, ensuring that various resources can be continuously transported back to the parent planet.
