As Zhang Tie seemed to be severely injured, O'Laura stayed. At this moment, O'Laura had already taken off her mask, making her look icy and glamorous.
"I'm not sick. I'm just worried that I will become that kind of person that I hate one day!" Zhang Tie replied in a muffled voice.
"How come?" O'Laura comforted him.
Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile. Nobody would completely turn bad in one day. Those greedy and hypocritical people, those shrewd, indifferent and shameless people who were familiar with the rules of the game, those hypocritical people who were high and mighty, and those who cheated others with lies for their own benefits, were not born like that.
Previously, Zhang Tie also hated such people. However, when he stood here silently and hid the truth of the catastrophe in Eschyle City which caused over 1 million deaths from commoners, Zhang Tie found that he was playing the role that he despised and hated before. If he was still the same person in Blackhot City, he would definitely be indignant about the fact that a few people concealed the truth of the catastrophe. He would even shout loudly so as to let everyone know about it. However, at this moment, he was one of the allies who concealed the truth. Additionally, he was a very important member. Therefore, Zhang Tie became depressed at once.
O'Laura, who always hid herself and was not good at peeping into others' mind, didn't discover Zhang Tie's abnormal mood. Only Sabrina on Zhang Tie's side glanced at him with a thoughtful look after hearing Zhang Tie's words.
...
"Down with demons. Revenge for our family members. Revive Eschyle City... "
"Down with demons. Revenge for our family members. Revive Eschyle City..."
Numerous commoners in Eschyle City had been aroused by Elder Rodolfo's impassioned words with hatred and blood boiling. Their slogans drifted into Eschyle City one after another.
After the whistling sound subsided, Elder Rodolfo spoke again in an affectionate and solemn tone.
"Hundreds of years ago. The greatest prophet pontiff of Slavs, Elzida, left a prophecy. He predicted that a great figure would lead all the Slavs in Ice and Snow Wilderness to prosperity and brilliance! "
"One month ago, due to the conspiracy of demons and their lackeys, tens of thousands of pioneers and fighters of the eastern allied forces of Ice and Snow Wilderness were trapped in the relics under the Haidela Glacier Crack. Just as everyone was running out of food and supplies, falling into despair and about to kill each other for the limited water source, this person appeared. He manifested many miracles, he made an endless stream of sweet spring water flow out of a bottle, he healed the people who were suffering from pain in an instant. He led more than a hundred thousand people who were trapped in a desperate situation out of the underground … "
"Pontiff Sarlin of huge bear tribe knew the arrival of this person and confirmed his identity. Therefore, he led 100,000 fighters of huge bear tribe to welcome him in the Haidela Glacier Crack. This person opened the key box left by the great prophet pontiff Elzida!"
"A few days ago, that man appeared in Eschyle City which was also in a desperate situation. He led the cavalries of Thor's Hammer and broke through the life tunnel of Eschyle City. As a result, numerous commoners in Eschyle City could escape out of danger. On the 12th, he took the lead in breaking through the Thor's Hammer. On the 12th, he led the soldiers of Eschyle City and huge bear tribe to exterminate the hundreds of thousands of demonized puppets which were encroaching on Eschyle City! "
"He was the first clan elder of huge bear tribe and the hero who saved Eschyle City from demons' conspiracy. From today on, our Spencer clan decided to follow the expectation and entrustment of the great prophet pontiff Elzida. In order to realize the rejuvenation of all the Slavs, we officially hand Eschyle City to this person. From today on, this person will be the guardian and ruler of Eschyle City! "
"This person is standing behind me. I think all the commoners in Eschyle City have long known his name. Right, he's Peter Hamplester!" As he spoke, Elder Rudolph moved to the side, giving up the most conspicuous spot he was standing on.
The commoners below were in an uproar. They wanted to push forward unconsciously; however, they were firmly blocked by the steel walls of the powerful fighters of huge bear tribe outside the safety line.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Tie slowly walked up from the back.
Zhang Tie threw a glance at the endless crowd in front of him before looking at the curved loudspeaker which was the largest alchemist equipment in this age, which was made of a special stone by alchemists. Zhang Tie remained silent.
In Zhang Tie's silence, the dense crowd gradually calmed down. Everybody was watching him and waiting for him to say something.
After a long while, Zhang Tie raised his head, "If I leave here at this moment, 1.37 million people could be revived. I would like to leave here. It's not my intention to stand here at this moment!"
Everybody became silent. Only the huge alchemist equipment could transmit Zhang Tie's voice to afar and reverberate in the wilderness.
"However, the one behind me, the strength behind me, the driving force that drove me to Ice and Snow Wilderness, the hope that was entrusted to me and the responsibility on my shoulder pushed me to here step by step. Therefore, I could only stand on this alchemist equipment which is more expensive than gold of the same volume and talk to you!"
"Before coming to Ice and Snow Wilderness, I had not imagined that I could stand here one day. However, I'm standing here now. Is this fate? I don't know. The so-called fate is the most illusory yet most mystical trajectory of everyone in the space-time maze. Even for someone like Elzida, it is the most mysterious path. Even Elzida was just a passerby on this track. He came here, saw something, left something and left... "
"Just now, Elder Rodolfo said that I was the one who led Slavs to the brilliant road. He was wrong about this point. His mistake originated from his reverence for the great prophet Elzida. He believed that the great prophet Pontiff's prophecy must have a marvelous magic power which could bring everything back to the brightest track. However, in this world, Zhang Tie was not the only one who believed the prophecy of the great prophet Pontiff. Is there anything or power that can push the fate of all of you, the fate of the entire Slavic race, onto the path of light? No, I tell you, no, I do not have such power, and neither do the others. Even God doesn't have such an ability! "
"Do you want to know what Elzida left for me in the key box? It's a letter. In the letter, Elzida told me that he saw the fate of Slavs in the 3rd holy war. In Elzida's vision, the last Slavs would be brutally killed by the demon army in Ice and Snow Wilderness. None of the Slavs could survive. Like how humans disappeared in the former two holy wars, Slavs would also be completely exterminated in the 3rd holy war!"
Zhang Tie said calmly. However, the content of his calm words shocked everybody's heart like thunders. Not only those commoners in Eschyle City, even the elders of huge bear tribe and Spencer clan behind Zhang Tie changed their faces. Those people behind Zhang Tie unconsciously moved their eyes onto Pontiff Sarlin. However, the look of Pontiff Sarlin made their hearts sink.
Pontiff Sarlin lowered his eyes. "Elzida saw your fate; however, he could not see my fate.
"Elzida saw your fate; however, he could not see mine. He knew that I would come to Ice and Snow Wilderness at a certain moment in my life. Therefore, he entrusted your fate to me and left that prophecy. He hoped that I could change the known fate of all the Slavs with my unknown fate. Even at the most dangerous moment, I could also leave a spark for the revival of the Slavs. This was Elzida's request to me. Because of this, he left the huge bear tribe to me and made me the leader and clan elder of the huge bear tribe!" "Therefore, the fate of each Slavs is not a brilliant golden road, but a mysterious road between death and unknown.
"Therefore, the fate in front of every Slavs is not a splendid golden path, but a mysterious path between death and the unknown. I am not a noble person, and I don't know if I will treat lying as a habit in the future. But standing here today, I don't want to lie. I just want to tell you the truth. I don't know how to lead you to that glorious path, and I'm not even sure if I can help you survive at some point in the future. I can only tell you that the third holy war of the human race is very close, very close. Next year, the third holy war will break out in an all-out manner. This war will be far more tragic and cruel than the previous two holy wars. Nobody can stay out of it, and there is no paradise in this world. The flames of war will burn from the earth to the sky and the ocean, and billions of creatures will die in the war."
"If the army of demons really comes to Ice and Snow Wilderness one day, I promise you that as long as there's one loyal Slavic fighter fighting on this land, I will fight with him until the end with the souls of 1.37 million people buried under my foot!"
"Meanwhile, I want to tell the other tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness and those who are watching me with flurried looks that huge bear tribe and iron bear tribe will maintain the status quo. We will make proper preparations for the coming holy war. However, I will never allow Slavs to attack other Slavs for the sake of standing in a higher position. When the holy war arrives, any war or internal frictions between tribes in Ice and Snow Wilderness is a betrayal to the entire Slavic race!"
"This is what I want to tell you today!"
"I hope the dead could rest in peace. As for the living, we have to make preparations for the coming holy war from now on!"
After saying these words, Zhang Tie turned around and bowed deeply towards the monument...
When he lowered his body and looked at the land under his foot, a paragraph on the bloody letter that Pears left in the underground backroom appeared in Zhang Tie's mind once again.
— — The demonized puppets in Eschyle City are scheduled to mature at the beginning of February next year.
Combined with the key information that he got in Heavens Cold City, Zhang Tie knew that the holy war would start in February next year. It was less than 3 months away from now...
