This was the power of authority. Truly powerful authority was able to treat life like dirt. Mo Fan stood in the blue palace made specifically for demon beasts, his chest rising and falling rapidly.
The more he dug, the bloodier it became. Sometimes, ignorance was a lot easier. At least, he would not feel suffocated after learning the truth. He had no idea how to vent his anger!
"Mofan … Mofan …" a voice blurted out in the darkness.
Mofan could not hear it. His mind was still replaying General Ethan's words. It took him a long time to calm down.
"Mofan, Mofan, why are you here?" Fenna went up to Mofan. She was even more nervous when she saw Mofan in a daze.
Ethan's men had told Fenna that Mofan was on the second basement of the military base. Fenna had just retreated from the frontline to take a rest. She had rushed here before she had the chance to treat her injuries.
"Fenna, I have a question," Mofan slowly raised his head and stared at Fenna.
Fenna was startled. She could feel the coldness and sternness in Mofan's eyes, as if he was looking at a stranger he had to be cautious of!
"What is it?" Fenna asked.
"Did you know someone in the military was raising the young Medusa since the beginning?" Mofan said in a heavy tone. He pointed at the Medusa who was lying comfortably on the goose feather bed.
The Medusa did not attack Mofan and Fenna. Her triangular eyes were observing Mofan and Fenna with great interest, as if she knew the humans here would not dare to do anything to her. She even knew they would continue to feed her with young girls that could nourish her.
"Well …" Fenna glanced at the young Medusa. She had already learned the truth from General Ethan's men. She was trying to avoid Mo Fan's gaze. She said after some time, "I've only heard about it, but you have to believe that General Haken and I are not involved in it!"
"You're turning a blind eye to it, too, hehe," Mofan chuckled.
"We …" Fenna was speechless.
"We are very cowardly and have no backbone. We are like a group of caged livestock." Another voice sounded, and the sound of footsteps slowly approached.
Mofan looked over and saw the old man in the black military uniform from before. His back was stooped, but his eyes were still bright and spirited.
"Great Leader!" Fenna quickly stepped aside and bowed to the old man in surprise.
Chief Haken waved his hand and said in a self-deprecating manner, "Military salutes are meant to show respect. From tonight onwards, you don't have to salute me. I'm indeed not worthy of your and your friends' respect."
"First, it's General Ethan, who's at the peak of his power, and now it's the head of the army. The Egyptian army really thinks highly of me," Mofan mocked.
"I've heard about what you did in China's northern border. A great leader from your country told me about it. What you've done is indeed enough to look down on us useless soldiers … "General Haken said.
Mofan was well aware of what Haken was referring to. The Great Pyramid of Giza. The northern border of China had been ravaged by the Great Pyramid of Giza. There were only a few hundred elite Mages defending the Northguard Fortress, yet the army of Giza, which was even scarier than the Khafre Army, had still been stopped. They had not harmed a single person in China's northern border.
In Haken's eyes, it was nothing short of a miracle. He had experienced decades of war in Egypt, and he knew better than anyone what a terrifying disaster the deathlight of the Great Pyramid of Giza would bring to a country!
"The people of your country must be proud to have someone like you, who brought true peace to the city. There's no blood, no corpses, no cries of pain … as a matter of fact, our country has a strong man like you, too. He's not the old and empty shell in front of you, but General Ethan, who is younger, braver, and knows how to control his power better than me. He's more likely to win the war than me. He's Egypt's Mofan. He's loved and respected by the people! Of course, you're only representing yourself. You won't tell anyone that you're the one who did it, but it doesn't matter if the people know about it or not. The gratitude of being alive will always be imprinted in the hearts of the people, "General Haken said.
"What are you trying to say? Are you trying to tell me not to meddle in your business, too?" Mofan snapped impatiently.
Mofan was in a terrible mood. His heart ached whenever he thought of a weak girl like Apas being trampled into a pile of bones by the war.
"I just want you to understand that as long as the war doesn't stop, General Ethan will always stand at the top of Cairo, like the king at the top of the pyramid. He will never be punished. Even the International Military Tribunal won't dare to punish him, and the Holy Judgment Court won't punish a high-ranking soldier!" General Haken said.
It was both pitiful and infuriating. Mo Fan was utterly disgusted by both the Tribunal of Military Advisors and the Holy Judgment Court that had the highest authority over Mages. They would act like it was God's will that they could not disobey when it was necessary for them to die. However, when it came to someone who was still useful to everyone, they would put on a pitiful look, as if there was nothing they could do about it, regardless of the crimes they had committed!
Power and influence … Mofan had a deeper understanding of what Zhao Manyan had said to him!
Perhaps the Cold Prince and Salan's ideals were not completely wrong after all, since some people in power were basically the same as them! Why would it matter if some insignificant people died in order to achieve a greater goal?
However, that was what Mofan could not tolerate the most. He wanted to tear them apart with his bare hands!
Not important at all?
Was there anyone in the world that was insignificant?
Was there anyone that was truly insignificant!?
No matter how insignificant a person was, they were still important to their family!
General Ethan had experienced the same thing when he was hiding under someone else's wings. Without the experts who respected every life, without the people who swore to fight demon creatures to the death, he would have died a horrible death under the merciless trampling of the Medusae and the undead before he could learn magic!
Mofan had always been grateful. He was so weak back in Bo City. He had only managed to survive because of Headmaster Zhu and Zhan Kong. They had allowed him to do what he could during the Calamity of the Ancient Capital and achieve glory in the World College Tournament. It was also the reason why Mofan was not willing to back away from the enormous Great Pyramid of Giza at the Northguard Fortress!
If you had to make a choice between a young girl and a few thousand Mages, you would only be able to save one of them, for the sake of the bigger picture.
But it didn't mean that he could push a girl who could have lived a good life into the snake's nest just to save thousands of sorcerers. It was definitely not a choice made for the sake of the big picture. It was the morbidity of a human being who was depraved to the extreme!
The disease was contagious. Mofan had no idea how many people in the world had contracted it, but Mofan would never allow himself to be infected!
Apas could not die just like that. Mofan would not let her go, either!
Mofan's eyes suddenly sharpened. His silver gaze stabbed at the young Medusa like two swords.
The young Medusa was tidying up her hair lazily, hoping to turn them into snakes. She did not panic when she sensed Mofan's murderous gaze.
She was extremely intelligent. She knew humans would not dare to do anything to her.
Mofan's silver Telekinesis grabbed the young Medusa tightly. She was still tidying her hair when Mofan pulled her over with a single hand.
The young Medusa did not resist. She was already standing in front of Mofan, yet she continued to tease Mofan's furious face with her red tongue.
"Aren't you proud of yourself?" Mofan sneered at the young Medusa.
"Si si si ~ ~ ~ ~" The young girl Medusa licked her lips, as if she had just enjoyed a delicious meal.
The young Medusa knew Mofan had saved Apas. She was telling Mofan how delicious Apas was with her actions. She was also telling Mofan, "What are you going to do to me if I eat the person you are trying so hard to protect?"
"Perhaps there are many people in this world who wouldn't dare to touch you … including some mages at the level of Forbidden Spell. However, I, Mofan, am not someone a b * * ch like you can eat as you please! "Mofan suddenly yelled.
Mofan gathered all his Telekinesis into his hands. He grabbed the young Medusa's waist with all his might, as if he was venting his anger.
"Slash!"
A snake's body was not supposed to be on Apas' body. Mofan tore the young Medusa apart with his violent hands!
"Pfft pfft pfft!"
Blood sprayed out crazily, falling on the green crystal rock and the white goose feathers. It was a ghastly sight.
"AHHHHHHHH!" The young Medusa screamed in agony. Her previous pride had completely disappeared. Her face was filled with fear, pain, and disbelief.
The scalding snake blood splattered on Mo Fan's hair. The sticky blood slowly flowed down his chiseled face and onto his shoulders and torso. Not long after, Mo Fan's entire body was dyed red … except for his eyes, which were filled with rage and a terrifying coldness within them!
"Ahhhhhh!"
The young Medusa's body was also covered in blood. She kept rolling on the ground.
