The bandit army they encountered today had surrounded them again at some point and immediately launched a surprise attack. As soon as they came into contact, many of the unprepared militia guards in the convoy were killed by the sneak attack.
"Why?"
The convoy also has a certain amount of armed force. Once the net is broken, even if it has little chance of winning compared to the bandit army, it can still knock out one or two of the bandit's teeth.
It would be understandable if knocking off teeth would bring great benefits, but obviously after they had handed over most of the valuable materials, the remaining things were not worth what these guys did.
The old village chief couldn't understand why this bandit army would do such a thankless thing.
However, the one-eyed military leader only said one sentence, which made the old man realize something.
"I'm a warlord!"
Warlord is not an unfamiliar word in Kandak. It often represents the influence of the Turkish emperor in some areas of Kandak.
Of course, the Earth Emperor was more than a year ago. Ever since a man who called himself Black Adam appeared in the land of Khandak, the warlord power has become a thing of the past.
At least, that's how it appears on the surface.
. . . .
The one-eyed man will always remember that day, when a guy appeared on his territory, and his own army was defeated by the opponent who had no ability to resist.
The one-eyed man deeply hated the guy who turned him into a lost dog, but the other person was as powerful as a god, and he was not able to confront him head-on.
However, this does not mean that those who benefited from being eliminated by the warlords and the civilians who regarded that person as the guardian of Kandak can be... arrogant in front of themselves!
"Kill all the men and children. The women can vent their anger before killing them. Don't leave any of the guys in this convoy behind!"
The One-Eyed Warlord coldly issued the order. Attacking this convoy would not bring him any substantial benefits, but venting his fear and anger towards the Kandak Guardians was enough reason for him to attack this convoy in a thankless manner. .
The sound of gunshots is associated with death. The sound of a bullet piercing a person's body is actually not much different from the sound of a bullet being shot into a broken sack. During this period, there were various sounds including crying, begging for mercy, and roaring, including ridicule, trampling, and insults. The sound also sounded.
This was an atrocity that happened in the human world, but as a human, the one-eyed warlord felt particularly happy. He regarded each of these people who were slaughtered by his army as the culprit who turned him into a homeless dog, and his face showed A cruel smile.
"Damn Adam, damn Kandak Guardian, don't allow people who persecute and rule others to exist? Hahaha, I'm persecuting and ruling the lives of the people in front of me right now. If you have the ability, just show up and stop me. Ah, ah...huh?"
The one-eyed warlord looked up and laughed at first, then roared wantonly, with a prolonged "Ah" at the end, and then sounded a little confused.
There is a red object in the sky, but it is flying towards this direction at a very fast speed.
. . . .
Before the one-eyed man could react, he was hit by a red object falling from the sky. His whole body was like a chicken breast hit by a giant pine meat hammer. It was smashed into minced meat, and the armored vehicle he was standing on was also scrapped. .
Under the influence of the huge external force, the fragments of the armored vehicle almost turned into exploding explosive grenades, which shot towards the surroundings.
There were screams piercing the air and the sound of linen being pierced into the flesh. The gun-wielding soldiers who were originally protecting the one-eyed man as bodyguards all around him fell down.
The sudden loud noise made everyone in the scene, whether they were being massacred or those who were massacring others, subconsciously turn their heads and look over.
As a result, these people saw a creature like a creature from myths and legends - a demon, appearing in the center of the explosion point in the form of a bound turtle with a large number of scars on its body being repaired rapidly.
The scrapped armored vehicle was underneath it, and underneath it were small crater-like collapse marks.
. . . .
"General, general, finally turned into a devil!"
Someone shouted, with a look of horror on his face.
At this moment, a bright red light flashed past.
The soldier fell down next to a woman whose calf had been kicked off and who had been captured.
The woman screamed in horror, holding the baby in her arms tightly.
Not long after, her shouting stopped.
It's not gorgeous at all, it just emits heat rays with a very high frequency, silently harvesting the lives of all the bandit army soldiers present.
When the figure of a woman descended from the darkening sky, there was no one left alive in the bandit army that attacked the convoy.
They were killed accurately, but not much blood was shed, because at the moment of death, the extremely high temperature carbonized the wounds.
Half-cooked brains and blood were preserved in the heads of people whose faces looked either ignorant or frightened.
. . . .
There were no unexpected incidents during the three and a half hours of controlled speed flight before arriving in Kandak.
But after entering Kandak, what Wu Ke saw was an area controlled by an anarchy, and accidents occurred frequently here.
Just by coming to this place, including the rebel bandits he met now, Wu Ke solved eleven vicious incidents.
Kandak is in chaos, even more chaotic than before. The reason seems to be that the local ruling military government, which was originally separatist and surrounded by hills and headed by major warlords, was defeated by the sudden appearance of Black Adam two years ago.
But those who survived became stragglers, scattered throughout the country, causing chaos in the country.
Pandora attributed this mistake entirely to Black Adam, believing that the chaos in this country was the result of the other party's intention, and that the other party wanted to use the suffering people of Kandak as sacrifices to cultivate the power of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Pandora's idea is not wrong, because in ancient times, some ancient lords who were corrupted by the power of the Seven Deadly Sins did this.
However, after communicating with some rescued Kandak people, Wu Ke's ideas deviated somewhat from Pandora's ideas.
Just like now, when I asked the person in charge of the convoy in front of me, an old man who called himself the head of Kaga Village, how their village was doing well in the days when warlord rule still existed, what I got was not surprising. s answer.
Compared with the past, when regional warlords would levy exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes for various reasons, and even when different warlords were fighting, the young people in the village would be forcibly dragged to the battlefield as cannon fodder by the local ruling warlords. During the warlord rule, there was no warlord rule. These are the good days.
The person who brought all these changes to Kandak, Black Adam, is regarded as the guardian of Kandak by most of the people of Kandak.
As a villain who doesn’t write much in comics and temporarily acts as a decent villain in "Eternal Evil", Black Adam seems to be an equal rights fighter in this world, and his equal rights method is very rough and direct, that is, defeating the pressure of Khandak The major warlords and military governments on the people.
"Black Adam is a bad guy. Khandak suffered from chaos because of him, but the people still blindly trust him as their guardian!"
Pandora said.
"I have a different view from you. Although he cannot be said to be a good person, he should not be called a bad guy. At least, that is what I have heard about him so far. And what he advocates is that "we are born as human beings. I think it’s right to say that everyone should be equal in the world..."
In the comics of "Eternal Evil", Black Adam directly came to fight with Speedmaster because Speedmaster said something on TV that the Criminal Syndicate will dominate the world. Although he was beaten by Speedmaster in three moves, he couldn't do it. Deny that the other party is an upright fighter for equal rights.
"It's just that what this person did seems to be a bit rough. When he defeated the warlord regime, he didn't completely defeat those guys. If we can kill all the bad guys in the warlord regime in Kandak without leaving a single person alive..."
After a pause, Wu Ke patted his forehead.
“Or, he can form a team capable enough to take over Kandak before or even after defeating the warlord regime.
After the warlord military regime is defeated, being able to quickly take over the power of Kandak may also prevent the country from falling into chaos. "
Pandora felt a little worried when she heard that the young man actually agreed with Black Adam and what he was doing in this country.
"Are you going to ignore Captain Fantastic's affairs and go back?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"Because from the look of you, you don't seem to want to fight Black Adam."
"I really don't want to fight with him. Of course, this premise is based on the fact that he is indeed an upright, but slightly stupid, equal rights fighter, not a sophisticated conspirator."
"But what if he's a schemer?"
Pandora asked.
"Then I will beat his brains out and pull out his head."
With a vicious look on his face, Wu Ke clenched his fists and made a gesture of twisting the opponent's head off.
"What if he's not a schemer?"
"Violence is not the only way to solve problems. I think that as people who believe in equality, I can persuade the other party not to do stupid things that are useless."
Wu Ke changed his face very quickly. He suddenly changed from a fierce and evil person to a very gentle and sunny person, like a big brother who can teach the little sister to study and do homework. He replied seriously to Pandora in a reasonable and talkative manner.
"You may not know that I am a master of persuasion who is very good at persuading others. This devil was convinced by my reasoning. Look at how well-behaved it is now."
Hearing this, Mopu Mopu, who had been used as an extraterrestrial meteor hammer several times, the corners of his red eyes were twitching crazily, but he didn't say anything. God knows what else he would do to this terrifying guy if he did. .
Rescuing the convoy that was robbed by the bandit army was just an interlude. In the process of continuing to the Kandak Guardian Shrine, Wu Ke never encountered any vicious incidents again. It should be that the guy who caused the chaos in this country sought advantages and avoided disadvantages, and took the initiative. Stay away from there.
. . . .
When Wu Ke took Pandora to the so-called Kandak Guardian Shrine and Black Adam's residence, the owner inside was still fighting with Billy Batson who had not transformed into Captain Marvel or Shazam. Talk.
Billy Batson was not controlled, but he was cursed and could not recite the transformation spell of [Shazam].
In order for him to cooperate voluntarily, Black Adam stated his ideal of equal rights change that he wanted to make to the world. It was a utopian future where everyone lived equally on this planet and there was no oppression anymore.
To this end, he had to face Billy Batson's doubts, such as repaying kindness with revenge, killing his nephew who saved him, and seizing the power of Shazam from him.
"Yes, I was blinded by hatred at that time. In order to take revenge, I had to have power. I killed my nephew who persuaded me to give up hatred generously and took away the power of Shazam from him. But later I guessed that The power of Shazam was originally prepared for me by the Eternal Council. They were testing me and taking advantage of that simple child. And my country was destroyed, and they were behind it."
Black Adam was once the prince of an ancient country in the land of Khandak five thousand years ago.
"But it is undeniable that the child's death was caused by my own hands. I will not deny this. He is the regret of my life. I am hostile to the Eternal Parliament. The wizards there are all hypocrites. I don't want this to happen." This kind of regret will appear on you again, so..."
Black Adam stopped and looked outside the large arched window. Wu Ke quickly dragged Pandora in with the iron rope.
"So, please release the people you kidnapped first. There are obviously some problems with your egalitarianism."
"Who are you and why are you dictating my ideals?"
Black Adam squinted his eyes and looked at the speaker.
Black Adam felt a faint sense of threat from Wu Ke.
"A messenger of justice who was asked for support by his teammates and came here to find you. Before meeting you, on the way here, I first saw the impact of your egalitarianism on this country. To be honest, those impacts are very good. But not all of them are good, and some of them are quite bad. You make me feel like a big idiot who cares about your head but not your body!"
Wu Ke spit out the fragrance directly, which made Pandora look sideways. She twitched the corner of her eyes and looked over, her doubtful eyes seemed to be questioning: Are you sure this is here to persuade and not to cause trouble?
Although this kind of development is what Pandora prefers to see, Black Adam's reaction was beyond her expectation. The other party did not get so angry that he took action directly. Instead, he frowned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ?”
Wu Ke was not polite and directly described what he saw after entering Kandak. Those who were defeated by Black Adam but did not completely collapse the warlord military regime turned into stragglers and wandered around doing bad things in the country, causing chaos. out.
In his words, Black Adam's affirmative action was almost directly compared to the act of taking a shit and wiping your butt, but not wiping your butt clean.
