Chapter 250
Ballymina is located in the southwest part of the empire.
A small city with a small area, with a population of about 500,000.
It's noon.
Military trucks set off dust filling the sky, speeding all the way, stopping in front of the roadblock outside the city.
The local high level police detective and an older demon-hunter were responsible for receiving them. After a brief negotiation, everyone transferred to the police car and went to the broadcasting station.
Cole's speech will be relayed through Wireless Electronics and will be broadcast nationwide by the Voice of Empire.
The broadcasting station of Ballymena is located in an old building.
The facilities are also very old.
Fortunately, there is no problem in use, after the professional debugging is over.
Power on.
Sound into the microphone, and then said to Cole who was sitting in the chair with his eyes closed and taking a nap, "It's ready to use."
Outside the door.
Amelia, who was on the phone, may have had a dispute with the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. After a big fight, she pulled the phone down, walked into the recording studio, and asked, "Can we start? "
The headphone staff nodded and said, "I have already contacted the Imperial Capital side. Real-time broadcast, you can start at any time."
At this time.
Cole took his feet off the table, took off the new newspaper with a strong smell of ink covering his face, pulled his crumpled tie, walked to the microphone and sat down.
The female reporter browses slightly wrinkle and said, "Cole, don't you prepare the manuscript in advance? This is a live speech for the whole country, and there must be no mistakes."
Cole did not respond.
Frowning, lit a cigarette to signal the staff to start.
Broadcast the last three numbers.
After the loudspeaker on the streets of Ballymena made a harsh sound, Cole took a deep breath of cigarette and said indifferently, "I am Cole · Walker..."
at the same time.
The speeches broadcast in real-time by the Voice of the Empire will be broadcast to the territory of the Empire in a coverage manner, in all frequency bands that can be listened to in real time.
The loudspeakers in major cities also sounded Cole's voice after the current sound ended.
"...I know that there are many people and unclean things that want me to die, and many people use this to challenge the Demon Hunter and the Empire, thinking that I should be handed over. In exchange for the safety of those 100,000 people."
As the speech began.
in this brief moment.
Empire homeland, overseas colony.
No matter what the local people are busy with, they all put down their work.
Gather in front of the radio.
Go under the loudspeaker on the street.
The noisy street in the past fell into silence after Cole's voice sounded.
There is no doubt about it.
The tram problem successfully allowed Gondović to transfer the center of the contradiction from the Nordic Order to Cole and the lives of 100,000 people, who is more important.
Even.
Within five hours Cole rushed to Ballymena.
No less than the Cabinet Council and the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Group, who went into battle without shirts, the citizens of the whole country were all arguing about this.
The two sides hold different opinions, but neither can persuade each other.
Now.
As the real protagonist of the event.
The man who received the focal point of ten thousands, the demon-hunter who had personally dealt with huge cases several times, finally expressed his opinion.
Malicious critics.
I can’t wait to take out the notebook, trying to find out the loopholes and weaknesses in Cole’s words, as a tool for them to criticize the Demon Hunters and seek benefits in the future.
People who advocate heroism, pray from the bottom of their hearts, this time, just this time, the one who has endured too much demon-hunter, used the way of angering the despicable behavior of the Nordic Order to resolve this Crisis.
But for more ordinary persons.
They just want to know what one hundred thousand lives in the demon hunting group, in the man's in mind, actually represent.
drag out an ignoble existence?
Or, martyred with one's body.
In the Demon Hunt and the Cabinet.
The big bureaucrats of various factions, sitting in the luxuriously decorated room with a radio on the table, were silent, waiting for the man's true attitude.
However.
For some people, they care more about Cole itself than talking.
Walking on the spot in the office, Baruch has broken an unknown number of cups.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of a certain building, Carl overlooked the city with a blank expression.
In the safe house, Marian tightly grasped Hardy, the right hand, facial expression grave.
Finally.
Cole's speech was short, but for everyone, after the long silence ended.
The unique cold voice of that man sounded again.
"My life is more important than the lives of 100,000 people. There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing. Everyone has their own answer.
But please Don’t forget, who put such a cruel choice ahead of us, and who kidnapped more than 100,000 people as...hostages.
If your friends and relatives Living in the Golden Port, they may know better than I am about the truth behind Gandovic’s hypocritical transaction and solemnly vowed, what are the reasons for kidnapping these people.
But this is not what I want to say today. ."
In the recording room.
Amelia put her hands in front of her, her expression extremely nervous.
The youth responsible for the transfer signal has a fine cold sweat on his forehead.
Even if the Queen Your Majesty's speech was broadcast, he never felt such a huge pressure.
Cole threw the cigarette butt under his feet, his voice gradually turning cold, and said, "This is a just war, my life, the lives of 100,000 people, and even the lives of 1 million people...
We did not choose death.
It was death and Dark World who chose us.
Persecution, torture, and occupation.
For The human world, those filth and uncleanness hiding in the shadows, are cruel and do everything they can.
But.
Our faith is like a bunch of never extinguished The light of God makes sin invisible.
Similar to those great people who you don’t know their names, in order to protect this World, you choose to sacrifice yourself and fall on the front line.
I think what they care about is the same as me and everyone here.
Even if my body is dead, the burning unyielding soul will turn into a scorching sun, dispel darkness, and defend justice With the world."
Amelia, who stood aside, was perhaps infected by Cole's cold tone but impassioned speech, perhaps because of the scenes she had encountered, her eyes gradually moistened.
After a moment of silence.
Cole's tone is the same as in the past, lacking emotional ups and downs, like stating a trivial matter in life.
Even.
The sound of a metal flip lighter.
It was very crisp and sounded in the ears of the citizens of the empire.
"I will save a hundred thousand people back, and...Gandovich Nord, I have always said and promised to put your dog's head in the toilet.
You will never break your promise.
Before I find you, you'd better find a safe corner to hide.
There are also the wizards and followers of the Nordic Order.
I would advise you, it’s best to go to the Demon Hunter to surrender now, so as not to be caught by me in the future and end up like Petar’s idiot, like a ridiculous dead dog.
I heard that you seem to like to call him the superior."
