Chapter 168 167. The context gradually becomes clear
"Let's go." Su Hong just glanced at the cultists chasing after him, and then drove the corpses to speed up and leave.
Li Qingzhen was originally a little confused about what Su Hong had done, but when he looked back, his eyes narrowed.
The bright lights in the darkness were extinguished at some point, leaving only corpses on the ground and a raging storm.
He couldn't even understand what Su Hong had done, and these believers were lying on the ground.
The power of this fire bearer is quite terrifying.
Fortunately, the Firebringer is on the Alliance's side.
Thinking of this, his tense nerves relaxed a little.
Not long after the zombie army left the place, an off-road vehicle patrolling by the Dawn Religion passed by and found a body frozen on the snow.
"A group of escapees has broken through our blockade and is heading towards Xie Dong Shelter! The coordinates of the disaster are..." the believer reported vigilantly.
A few seconds later, the signal transceiver replied, "You don't need to track these Alliance people. There are people among them who can kill the Holy Envoy. Lord Thrall will take action himself."
"Lord Thrall is going to take action personally?" The believers were both happy and fortunate.
This was a fugitive who could kill the Holy Envoy. They would only die if they chased him.
Since the holy envoys are going to get involved, they have nothing to do with it.
"Lord Han Owl, the battle at Xie Dong Refuge has entered a fierce stage. If they go to the Refuge...will it cause any changes?"
The man on the other end said calmly: "Liu Zhifeng, one of the two sword holders, the Guardian Blade, is dead, and only the giant sword Li Jian is left. They can't defend Xie Dong's refuge."
"As for those fugitives... going to Xie Dong Refuge is just looking for death."
"yes."
…
In order to get rid of the pursuers behind him, Su Hong led everyone on a long detour and disappeared into the ice field.
There was still some time before arriving at the shelter, so Su Hong took the opportunity to ask for information.
"Qingzhen, which forces have the betrayers announced by the alliance come from?"
Although it was strange why Su Hong asked this question, Li Qingzhen still answered seriously: "There are very few traitors from the Inner Alliance. Most of the traitors come from those ancient undead forces."
"Most of the controllers of these undead forces are the aging first-generation undead. They are unwilling to be eliminated by the world and controlled by the alliance. They want to return to the world and return to the era of being controlled by the undead forces."
"For this reason, we will not hesitate to cooperate with the Dawn Order and go against the Alliance."
"Judging from the intelligence that the alliance has declassified so far, there were already undead forces that had reached in-depth cooperation with the Dawn Order before the end of the world."
"They provide intelligence to the Dawn Order, betray the alliance's interests, and gain power and wealth from both sides."
Liu Fan whispered from the side: "These guys are completely crazy for profit. As long as we can survive the frost, we can usher in a new future. Why...why can people's hearts be so different."
Li Qingzhen patted him on the shoulder, "Liu Fan, those first generations of undead were old monsters who lived for hundreds of years. Their thoughts and ideas are different from ours. If you can't understand, you don't need to understand. It's more important to stick to your own moral principles."
After that, he turned to Su Hong and said, "Mr. Scott, I'm sorry, let's continue."
"Among the twelve undead forces in the Southern District, the Elk Mansion was the first to announce that it would betray the alliance and join the Dawn Order."
"The Elk Mansion was deeply influenced by the Dawn Order, and there were even holy envoys certified by the Order. At the beginning of the end of the world, the shelter they controlled once became one of the strongholds of the Dawn Order."
When Su Hong heard this, his eyes narrowed. Good guy, no wonder he couldn't find the Dawn Order's stronghold. It turned out that these guys actually had a stronghold hidden in the Alliance's sanctuary.
"How did the first generation of immortals from the Protz family die?" Su Hong asked.
He remembered that Wang Chengzhi's diary had written that after the destruction of the Immortal Blade, the Protz family was also involved in the dispute between the Dawn Order and the Alliance. At that time, the first generation leader of the Protz family died mysteriously in the shelter.
Li Qingzhen was stunned and said with a heavy face: "This matter is taboo in the Protz family. Even the alliance is reluctant to mention it. The details of the specific incident have been lost long ago, but I happened to be a witness to my grandfather's death."
"I feel ashamed to say that this time it is the Protz family that has failed humanity..."
Su Hong listened carefully and finally understood the ins and outs of the incident from Li Qingzhen's account.
It is true that the Protz family are supporters of the Fire Bearer, but at the same time they have unclear connections with the Dawn Order.
It seems that before the end of the world, the first generation of undead people of the Protz family had already come into contact with the Order of Dawn and allowed some family members to join the order.
But then the appearance of the Firebringer and Shadow Demon changed everything, and Li Jinjin, the first-generation immortal, began to realize that he was on the wrong team.
In order to be able to turn back in time, while cultivating a new generation of immortals such as Li Jian and Xu Yanrui, the old man also set things right and secretly cleaned up the inside.
However, the Dawn Order's influence on the Protz family was too profound, and his reforms encountered unprecedented resistance. Some members of the family council even united to evacuate his power.
Until the emergence of a mysterious incident accelerated the deepening of this contradiction, and Li Jinjin died in a power struggle within the family.
Li Qingzhen said: "Because of this incident, the Protz family was almost torn apart."
"I didn't expect..." Su Hong fell into silence.
It turned out that he had been in contact with the Dawn Order a long time ago.
No wonder Li Jinjin was so excited after seeing the birth of the Fire Bearer.
Thousands of thoughts flowed through, and Su Hong asked: "What is that mysterious incident you are talking about?"
The man shook his head, "This matter is highly confidential and I have no right to know."
"But at that time, it seemed that a regiment called the Immortal Blade was involved, and the Knights Temple was also involved."
Su Hong fell into deep thought, and Li Qingzhen's description was exactly the same as what happened at that time.
After sorting out the basic context, he had a conjecture in his mind. The Immortal Blade might have discovered something important in the wilderness, which led to the involvement of all parties.
"It's probably unusual to be able to allow the Dawn Order, the Protz Family, and the Knights Temple to act at the same time."
"We'll see what it is when we get back to reality."
While chatting with Li Qingzhen, he secretly compiled a list of traitors in his mind.
Among them, the undead force called Elk Mansion can be described as a worthy death.
They provided intelligence to the Dawn Order in the early days of the end of the world, and helped the Order repeatedly attack the refuge convoys heading to the South District for refuge.
They even secretly used the flesh and blood of the people in the refuge to refine blessing potions, controlled attacks on the alliance's spokesperson, and united with other undead forces to put pressure on the alliance to allow human experimentation...
The crimes are too numerous to describe.
