Chapter 6802 This is science!

Chapter 6802 This is science!

Everyone present, even the upright Zhuge Liang, was actually an expert at manipulating people's hearts. After listening to Fa Zheng's explanation without any personal emotion, they already understood what Rome had experienced.

"It's a crisis of trust." Chen Xi said helplessly, "There is still food, at least enough to supply Roman citizens. But at this point, it's no longer a matter of food supply. Maybe Roman citizens themselves are doubting the government."

Zhuge Liang nodded silently upon hearing this. It was indeed true that Rome was short of food, but the gap was not very large. Moreover, the new grain from Yuan's family had been delivered. Logically, the crisis should have been gradually resolved, but it had escalated.

To put it bluntly, Rome’s current problem has evolved from a food crisis to a crisis of trust.

"To be honest, this is really untrustworthy." Fa Zheng said with a somewhat helpless look, "What's worse is that the citizens who now don't trust the Roman government may be the civic elites who were upright and supported Rome before, and have a certain popularity in the local area and can stabilize the local barbarians."

Chen Xi nodded silently when he heard this. The most angry citizens now must be those who have conscience and only took 50% or even less relief food, trying their best to help the government stabilize the local area. On the contrary, those citizens who took 80% or 90% from the beginning would not have such messy ideas.

After all, those who have been bad guys from the beginning naturally think that the Roman government is also a bad guy. They are connected to each other and have a tacit understanding with each other. So if this situation really happens, the bad guys will naturally understand and think that it is true, and they will not have any rebellious mentality.

What is really troublesome are those loyalists who work hard for Rome, dividing the allocated relief food into reasonable portions, and while trying to maintain their own survival, they also ensure that the local barbarians have a way to survive. They rely on their own careful words and deeds, and their every move to influence the barbarians, so that these people maintain a balanced and stable state.

However, the more loyal people are now, the more they will be betrayed. This is also the reason why the citizens on the border directly joined forces with the barbarians to attack Rome.

Moreover, most of these loyal Roman citizens have their own appeal among the local barbarians. Even the local barbarians' awe of Rome comes from these loyal Roman citizens. Now that these citizens have taken the lead in rebelling, there is nothing to say, of course they will follow suit!

This was also the reason why, when the Roman Empire was doing whatever it wanted before, even if the barbarians rebelled here and there, it did not cause much impact. But after this wave of food arrived, Rome was full of rebels. To put it bluntly, the opponent had changed.

In the past, the Roman Eagle Legion went to suppress the barbarians, with local citizens leading the way, and fighting on their own land. Now, local citizens are leading local barbarians to fight against government forces from other places. Moreover, this kind of non-large-scale combat and small-scale attacks all depend on the familiarity of the local terrain.

Even if the Roman Eagle Legion has great combat power, can it be more familiar with the local terrain than the locals? The local guys went for the security battle from the beginning, so that when the government armed forces came, they didn't know who to attack. Later, the Eagle Legion was scattered and could not be suppressed. Isn't this a war everywhere?

"Rome is miserable too." Chen Xi said with a bit of sarcasm. Before, the Han Dynasty was going to hold a large-scale military exercise, and Rome thought that sending a group of people over to the Han Dynasty to make a living was also a way to solve the problem. In addition, sending some elites and ambitious elements among the barbarians over could also reduce their own hidden dangers. As a result, after this change of hands, it was no longer the barbarian elites who were causing trouble, but the citizens. To be honest, it was even worse.

"Now Odin in Northern Europe has jumped into the sea with a group of divine guards. General Huangfu said he was not sure, but there should be only 30,000 to 40,000 people who jumped into the sea and escaped. The scale is not large. What Rome means is that things have come to this point, and they are going to transfer the Nordic people back." Fa Zheng flipped through the intelligence at hand and said to Chen Xi with some fatigue.

"What about us? Let's send them back too. The other side has jumped into the sea, we can't do the same." Chen Xi said unhappily, "Let's send them back too. It's not easy for them, and the current situation barely meets our goals. If these main forces come back and reorganize, they can also serve as the backbone of the next attack, which will only benefit us."

"In fact, there is another piece of information involved here. I think it was spread by the Roman Empire." Fa Zheng flipped through the information on hand and threw a document to Chen Xi. "The Romans said that they could have completely annihilated Odin's guards, but General Huangfu, who was temporarily in charge of the human coalition forces, adjusted the deployment direction of the Mediterranean Utopia, resulting in a loophole in the coverage area, allowing Odin to escape with a small number of guards. I think with General Huangfu's character..."

What is Huangfu Song's position? Those present don't know it yet? He is a perfect tool. If you ask him to fight a losing battle, he will fight it. He doesn't care about face at all. He will do whatever the country says. His position should not be too clear! Would he do such an offensive thing? This is nonsense.

"Let the Roman Empire organize its language and describe it again. You are trying to put the blame on others!" Li You said with a dark face. You said someone else did this and wanted to stir up trouble or something. Li Youxin, in fact, if you said it was Yuan Tan who did this, Li You could check it out, but you said Huangfu Song did this, you are crazy!

How can I put it in reality? This is really Huangfu Song's fault. Although the Roman Empire was a serious tyrant, it at least knew that Odin's world disaster must be solved. Moreover, the Han Dynasty and the Kushan Empire both contributed money, manpower and effort, and they were just waiting for Rome, the closest country, to provide technology. Could they really be so thrifty that it was not enough? No matter how outrageous the Roman Empire was, it had to consider the international impact.

How could such a big loophole appear when a genius like Opolis personally controls the Mediterranean Utopia?

How is that possible? Rome had also decided to send Odin away, but this kind of annihilation mission had to be handled by Huangfu Song, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces.

Huangfu Song didn't feel anything about other things. Even if an alien was devoured by a wild beast, there was a high probability that the wild beast would gain elite talents or something. In fact, that was all. For Huangfu Song, there was only one thing that was really fatal - the demon god born from the corpse feast among Odin's guards.

Ever since Huangfu Song surrounded Odin, he has been keeping an eye on the group of Divine Guards who took the route of the Corpse Feast Ceremony. He watched helplessly as a group of ordinary Divine Guards rose from ordinary Divine Guards to a level close to the fifth level of smelting in about a year.

To be honest, if the weather had not turned cold again and the White Disaster had not regained its dominance, Huangfu Song would have to consider whether Odin, who knew the facts but not the reasons, would change the other divine guards into demon gods of the Binshixiang Ceremony. After all, the Binshixiang Ceremony was famous for having no threshold and strong combat effectiveness.

The reason why we cannot defeat the White Scourge is simply because the demons of the Corpse Feast Ceremony are not yet fully developed, and they are now fighting with Odin in Northern Europe. In addition, the Little Ice Age and the abnormal climate have made it extremely cold here.

The problem is that the characteristics of the demon god Binshi Xiangli cannot be concealed. The simplest point is that the White Disaster version of the Divine Guard is still limited by the physical endurance limit of the Divine Guard. If the demon god Binshi Xiangli controls the White Disaster, it will only be stronger than the normal White Disaster!
The reason why this thing is included in the taboo is not because there is no threshold, it can be learned quickly, and it can stack all the talents you have ever seen?
One or two would be fine, but if it really spreads and becomes large-scale, there is no way to deal with it. Therefore, before the talent of the Corpse Feast is fully blossomed, Huangfu Song must kill all the divine guards who take this path. Odin can be spared, but the demon must die.

It was because of this idea that Opolis said that he would start to dissociate all the divine guards. After Huangfu Song had a general understanding of the technical ideas, he asked Opolis to blow up the area he had drawn, saying that the others didn't matter, and that he wanted to kill all of them in this area.

Opolis was numb, he had designed it all before, theoretically it would be enough to dissociate all the divine guards back into the essence of heaven and earth. But when Huangfu Song came up, he said he didn't care about anything else, this place must be plowed and raked, dissociated three times, and the released essence of heaven and earth must be put through fire three times!

Opolis said that in this case, some of the divine guards might be unable to be dealt with. Huangfu Song said that it was not a problem if some divine guards ran away, but he had to plow the place where he drew the circle three times.

Oboris had no choice but to accept it. After all, Severus had told him when he came that he should listen to Huangfu Song when he got there. Even if Huangfu Song did something illegal, he should not ask why and just listen to him.

So Opolis had no choice but to accept it. Besides, if the sky fell, there would be tall people to hold it up. Huangfu Song was, after all, an emperor-level figure. He had said that he would hold it up if anything really happened, so what was there to worry about? Just do it.

The final result is what it is now. All the divine guards involved in the corpse feast ceremony died. A few hundred great demon gods with weak foundations resisted two groups, but were also forcibly killed. Afterwards, the essence of heaven and earth was excessive and melted the iceberg. Later, Huangfu Song led people to blockade that area, and personally led a group of legions with high will attributes, rushed in and killed everything that looked wrong.

To be honest, if Huangfu Song had not mobilized his main force to blockade that area, and had not led the team himself to deal with those half-crippled demons, but had let Chunyu Qiong lead Xia Yi, Ma Ye and others to strangle them, he would have been able to stop the divine guards led by Odin who jumped into the sea.

The problem is that, in Huangfu Song's eyes, Odinga's divine guards are far inferior to the demon gods of the Corpse Feast. If Odin runs away, at most there will be more wonderful creatures on earth and in the oceans. But if the demon gods of the Corpse Feast run away, especially those born from the divine guards who seem to be able to spread the infection after being swallowed, then Huangfu Song's life will be in danger.

So Huangfu Song let Odin jump into the sea and led the team himself to kill and count the demons in the corpse banquet one by one. He determined that the final number killed was exactly the same as the number of demons he had counted in the past year, and there was no problem in comparing the aura of each one.

This process took up a lot of time, but Huangfu Song really couldn't feel at ease unless he handled it this way.

This is also the reason why Rome submitted a formal notice to the Han Dynasty, because in Rome's view, they have solved the Odin disaster, and the remaining ones are identified by Huangfu Song as the breeding materials for the Pokémon world. In this case, there is no need to get entangled in it in depth.

Of course, it could also be that Rome is already feeling a bit tired of having too many lice and not worried about having too many debts.

"Well, let's put this matter behind us first. When General Huangfu comes back, I will go and find out about it, and Rome will respond according to formal diplomacy." Chen Xi went over Huangfu Song's character in his mind and was sure that it was impossible for him to do such a thing normally. But taking into account the corpse feast ceremony, Chen Xi roughly understood what happened in Northern Europe at the last moment.

"Is there anything here that we don't know?" Fa Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise.

"Probably." Chen Xi was basically certain that Huangfu Song would do that most likely to get rid of the demon god of the Binshi Xiangli, but it was better not to discuss such a topic. In short, after listening to what Huang Tao saw and heard in Yunmengze at that time, Chen Xi felt that it would be better not to pass on the talent of Binshi Xiangli.

"Oh, I see." Although Fa Zheng was very curious, he really didn't want to know about the things that could make Chen Xi shut up and not say more. People like Chen Xi didn't want to talk much, so Fa Zheng knew how big a trap that was.

"Let's go through the process. Let the princess and the general sign the troop transfer document to transfer General Huangfu and the core elite troops back to the Central Plains. From now on, we must also prepare for the subsequent decisive battle." Chen Xi turned his head to look at Li You and said. By the way, what he meant was that Li You's sale plan to instruct the three idiots could start preparations from now on.

"In this way, the old soldiers from Northern Europe can also catch up and participate in the grand military performance." Jia Xu thought for a while and said, "By the way, if I remember correctly, the wedding of Shangxiang Hou was also held before the New Year, right?"

After conquering Ceylon, Kou Feng was sent to Chang'an by the Grand Princess Yiyang. After all, although the wedding of a marquis could be held in a local place, if it wanted to be grand, it still had to be held in Chang'an and granted by the emperor. In addition, the Grand Princess Yiyang would also return to Chang'an this time.

"It just so happens that General Huangfu will be back too, so it's great that we can catch his granddaughter's wedding." Chen Xi said with a smile. If you think about it carefully, this might be the time when the most people are present except for the first year of Yuanfeng.

"A lot of veterans have already arrived to participate in the grand martial arts performance. The direct promotion to the fifth level and above really saves a lot of trouble. Coupled with the technology of reattaching severed limbs developed this year, the number of veterans in Chang'an should have reached the highest level in history." Man Chong flipped through the list in his hand. In the early days, Man Chong was in charge of the Jingling Guard, but later on, due to the division of powers, the military power in Man Chong's hands was reduced, but he was still managed by Man Chong, and this was actually a very serious bug.

However, this bug cannot be completely removed in this generation, and Chen Xi is also trying to get by with the attitude of continuing as long as possible, so this time in the martial arts performance, Man Chong is still the one who registers.

"There have been a lot more violent incidents. As it stands now, we can only live in different areas. Some veterans in each area are not very rational." Man Chong flipped through the list in his hand. There were several names with a lot of slashes behind them. This was the number of fights they had.

"Normal. It's unrealistic to hope that everyone is rational." Chen Xi can fully understand this mentality. Some people can let go, but some people just can't. Just like now, there are several palace guards from Xuzhou who quit their jobs and don't participate in the grand martial arts performance. They just chase Cao Cao all over the world. Cao Cao has arranged more than 70 backup plans, but now more than a dozen of them have been eliminated. What is efficiency? This is efficiency. Rationality? Sometimes it is impossible to be rational!

"Then the number of local superstitious shamans and fortune-tellers is increasing." Li You's face showed a bit of speechlessness. He originally came here to dispel superstition, but as a result, some people began to think that this thing was interesting and started to believe in it in large numbers.

"They are already supermen, why do they still believe in shamans and witches?" Chen Xi had a confused expression on his face. Although the Nan Xi he met last time was a sixth-level smelting enthusiast and a heavy feudal superstitious participant, and had been cheated of his family property by a witch, there were still very few such people. Why, with so many old soldiers gathering together, local superstitions have resurfaced?

"It's due to many factors." Li You was also helpless. He couldn't understand it. It was obvious that Nanzhi could pull the witch's head off with one hand, but Nanzhi believed in it and was cheated of his family property by the witch.

"Where is our team to eliminate feudal superstitions?" Chen Xi asked with a frown.

"It's hard to say. Some veterans who participate in this kind of feudal superstition can do things that our team that breaks feudal superstitions can't do." Li You was even more helpless. They were organized to carry out propaganda, which was useful most of the time, but a small part of the time, there was really no way to do it.

"In addition, the core of some things is scientific, but they are operated in a feudal superstitious way." Zhuge Liang gave the answer on behalf of Li You. Chen Xi felt even more helpless when he heard it.

For example, the great joy of the machine soul, the creation of artificial spirits, the secret blood sacrifice to the evil god, and the return of worship. In an era where reality can be distorted by the interference of such a strong will, some village chiefs, because of their extraordinary strength, are activated under the self-suggestion logic of feudal superstition, and can really come up with some very outrageous things, and these things are collectively called feudal superstition.

But to be honest, some things actually have real scientific cores. After all, things that can pass double-blind tests and randomized controlled experiments cannot be considered feudal superstition. Even if it involves things like worship, it is really science!
