Don't confiscate my citizenship

"Today is your forty-second day in this shadow world."

"The Horning Empire not only successfully occupied the neighboring Kingdom of Bliss, but the Kingdom of Fuklo and the Kingdom of Edith on the east and west sides have now been infiltrated. The Paulant Empire was retreating steadily on the frontal battlefield. This battle Our army has suffered 30,000 casualties and nearly a thousand magic cannons. The ports in the northern mainland strait have also fallen into the hands of the vampires. It has become an established fact that the Horning Empire will launch a new offensive against our country or neighboring countries."

"What's worse is that the parliament's trust in you has now dropped to an unprecedented low, and you will be impeached in the no-confidence vote that will be held tomorrow."

"This afternoon's speech is your last chance."

"Success or failure depends on this, your fate has been bound to Loren."

Boss Cat stood on Ranchi's desk, fiddling with his Nixie tube timer and broadcasting reports to him.

It’s noon in the prime minister’s office in Helsalem.

After the curtains were drawn, the room was slightly dim, and the Nixie tube timer light emitted a saturated orange-red light, lighting up the final countdown like lava.

Lanci sat alone behind an old-fashioned wooden desk, surrounded by densely packed files and portfolios.

"The time has indeed come for me to speak in the House of Commons."

Lanci's face was illuminated diagonally by the Nixie tube on the table. No one knew what he was thinking, and his gaze seemed to penetrate the direction of the Capitol Building.

Two days had passed since he returned to the capital Helsalem from Berginhe County on the northern border. Lanqi had already completed all the docking work with the substitute and arranged the final agenda.

The wartime cabinet's support for the resistance movement no longer exists, and a peace agreement is being drafted, even using the right to postpone the passage, and has not approved the alliance with the demons for the time being.

Lan Qi stood up, walked around the long table, went to the coat rack and took off his coat.

Before he picked up the cat boss, he took out a magic device box full of forbidden items from the cabinet on the side of the room.

After opening it, there was only a small communication device inside, and above it was a button with three sacred patterns twisted and spliced ​​together.

"Cat, please press this button."

Lan Qi gently stroked Boss Cat's head and said to him.

The faint hum of the timer echoed in the quiet room, reminding them of the passage of precious time.

"What is this, meow!"

Boss Cat curiously circled around and clicked on the communication device.

"Press this button and your contribution to the shadow world will take off. You may be able to get epic rewards that match your level."

Lan Qi said with a smile.

"Meow meow?!"

The cat boss was rolling with happiness.

It also thought that Lan Qi said that he would help it increase its contribution points to make it happy. Unexpectedly, Lan Qi kept it in mind and liked him so much!

"Really? By pressing it, can I hope to get the epic reward?"

After Boss Cat rolled around on the table, he confirmed again.

It always feels that the legendary high-level epic cards that are far away are too simple. After all, it never dreamed of getting epic-level props before!

"Yes, press it and many people will be happy."

Lan Qi nodded, opened a copy of "The Sacramental Gospel" on the table, and said firmly.

The concept of the Trinity represents the community between the Father, the Son of Man, and the Holy Spirit, that is, the community of love.

It reveals that love is the essence of God, and that God’s love is unconditional, perfect, and eternal.

Eucharistic believers are encouraged to imitate God's love and strive to embody love and harmony.

The concept of the Trinity is also related to the concept of salvation in the Eucharistic Church.

The Father sent the Son to save humanity, and the work of the Holy Spirit in individuals and in the church helps to realize this plan of salvation.

Redemption is the collective action of all the persons of God to save the world.

And this button is the last step to realize great love.

"Meow!"

The cat boss raised his paw and slapped the button without hesitation.

"Then what? What will happen after pressing it?"

Boss Cat asked, looking around nervously.

It feels like nothing happens when the button is pressed.

Listening to Lan Qi's mysterious tone, there should be some changes after pressing this button.

"Somewhere in the Horning Empire, ten thousand suns will rise."

Lan Qi picked up the cat boss and said kindly to him.

"Meow?"

The cat boss opened his bright cat eyes.

It doesn't understand.

But it's okay, just get rewards.

…

Three hours later.

This world.

In the heart of the Kingdom of Hutton, the Old Bree Tribunal along the city wall of Icerite, a building immersed in history, was gently passed by a sliver of unidentified dawn blue-gray in the dark hours of the morning before dawn.

At this moment, the world has not yet fully woken up, but the Old Bree Tribunal is already waiting silently at the edge of time, preparing for an urgent hearing on the new day.

The time zone of the Darkest Solar Eclipse Demon Realm in the seventh-level shadow world is about twelve hours different from the real world. If the current world is at five or six o'clock in the morning, then the shadow world is at five or six o'clock in the evening.

There are less than seventy-two hours left in the Shadow World, and basically everything is a foregone conclusion.

In the courtroom, traditional wooden paneling and heavy red curtains stand tall. The statue of the God of Light and Law stands at the end of the hall, as if her eyes are also watching the upcoming hearing.

On this solemn morning, Loren had already stood alone in the center of the court.

He is now a frequent visitor to the trial bench. The rare stubble on his tired and weathered face adds a touch of earthly smoke to his former gentleness and handsomeness.

As an eighth-level great priest, he is like walking on thin ice.

"This seventh-level shadow world is basically hopeless. Let alone one percent, even 0.1 percent is out of reach."

"Judging from the video that Student Loren opened last time, it's all nonsense."

There was little natural light outside the courthouse windows, and the chatter in the jury box echoed like ghostly whispers in my ears.

"Today may be the last hearing. Are you ready, Lorenzo?"

The presiding judge's gavel struck, and the discussions stopped abruptly, and a dead silence enveloped every corner.

The presiding judge, Duke Akares, waved his hand gently, and the crystal ball-shaped magic instrument on the side of the trial court lit up at the same moment, projecting the last scene of the shadow world.

In the thick mist, the outline of Helsalem, the capital of Pollant, was looming.

The bells of Hull's clock tower rang in the quiet and tense air, reminding the Pollantes that the darkest hour had arrived.

The scene then shifts to the Paulante Capitol, where the tension is almost palpable.

Politicians no longer argued fiercely, and their faces looked particularly serious in the dim light.

There were heavy clouds in the sky, and occasionally the flying dragon warriors of the Horning Empire could be seen passing through the sky. The streets were already filled with trenches.

This is the information about the shadow world left by Loren’s students when they started the live broadcast for the last time——

[Mission Objective 1: Find the key to defeating the Vampires, completed. 】

[Mission Objective 2: At the end of the Shadow World, increase the human side’s winning chance against the vampire side to more than 1%. The current winning rate is 0.0007%. 】

[Mission goal 3: All challengers must survive until the end of the 45-day time limit, and the current survival rate is 3/3. 】

Mission objective 1 has been completed.

But the most core task 2 has not only made no progress, but has also regressed.

[Current status of the Pollante Empire]

[Popularity: 586→705/1000 (popular support rate and cohesion)]

[House of Representatives: 175→32/1000 (support rate of high-level officials within the Pollant Empire)]

[Military strength: 199/1000 (using the Horning Empire as a reference)]

[Finance: 325→337/1000 (the current productivity status of the Polante Empire)]

[Diplomacy: 232/1000 (diplomatic relations with the demon world and surrounding countries that have not yet surrendered)]

[Comprehensive odds of winning: 0.0007%]

After Lanqi returned to the Paulante Empire, [Public Support] was still growing steadily, but it didn't help.

[Military power], [Finance], and [Diplomacy] basically remain unchanged.

The most fatal thing is that the [House] item directly fell below the warning line of 100, which means that the shadow world has entered an uncontrollable rampage mode.

The odds of winning dropped from 0.0074% back to 0.0007%.

As expected, the helpless student Loren will soon be impeached, and by then this seventh-order shadow world will come to an end!

And a terrible natural disaster will come somewhere in this world.

"I...know it well."

Loren looked at the cold reflection, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the waves in his heart.

"Loren, your student has now completely collapsed this shadow world. Do you admit that he was taught by you, and that you have an unshirkable responsibility for his rash entry into the shadow world and his failure?"

The Minister of Justice of the Kingdom of Hutton, Duke Akares, had a serious expression.

"……yes."

Loren choked up a little.

In fact, Lan Qi was really not taught by him, but at this time, it was even more impossible for him to shirk the responsibility to the students, because Lan Qi could not bear this responsibility, and he did not want to ruin Lan Qi's future.

"Everything was ordered by me."

Loren lowered his head and said.

His words seemed to be arguing with reality, and every word was as heavy as a thousand stones.

"Okay, Loren, since you said so, I won't ask you any more or state too many causes, processes, and results. The United Parliament of the Southern Continent Kingdom, the Shadow World Management Association, the Southern Continent Disaster Prevention Agency, and the Kingdom of Hutton The joint investigation team composed of the Security Bureau and other departments has produced a very detailed investigation report."

The presiding judge, Duke Akares, continued.

The conclusion was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone in the Tribunal again and again.

The trial bell rang at Old Bree Court, and the thin light mingled with the heavy air.

People's eyes were focused on Loren, as if the weight of the hearing was entirely on him.

The entire Hutton Kingdom was also waiting with bated breath at this moment. Even early in the morning, the broadcast of the crucial hearing began.

Even in the trial court and the audience, there were still a few eyes full of concern for him, but these were just a drop in the ocean and could not reverse the torrent of public opinion.

At the trial seat, the Holy Knight Commander of the Goddess of Destiny Church who came all the way from the Kingdom of Canberra clenched his hand tightly.

At this moment, she was not wearing the heavy armor of the past, but a light dress, and Loren didn't recognize her at all.

"Best friend..."

Until now, the Holy Knight Commander believed that her best friend was a mature and stable person who would not make such a mistake. Although she wanted to stand up and say a few words to Loren, she came to the United Kingdom with the important task of investigating the mysterious cardinal by the United Kingdom Council. She from the Hutton Kingdom couldn't favor her own people regardless of public or private matters at this moment and bring down the entire Church of Destiny.

She turned her head sideways with great inner struggle and stopped looking at Loren.

At this moment, I just feel like everything is over, like I'm sitting on pins and needles.

The hearing came to an end before the first ray of sunshine in the morning came, and everything fell silent again.

Just when people thought that a generation of noble priests would be ruined.

The giant open-air screen that had been showing the morning news in the Hutton Kingdom turned pitch black, and then began to show an emergency movie world scene.

It immediately attracted some attention.

Being able to insert the film world at this time will definitely not be a trivial matter.

Hearing the sound, more and more people in the trial court looked at the projection screen.

I saw that it was indeed Lan Qi who started the Shadow World live broadcast again!

"This should be the last Shadow World live broadcast."

"I think Loren's students probably mean the same thing."

"With a winning rate of 0.0007%, is there any need to struggle?"

The hearing was temporarily suspended, and whispers gradually filled the courtroom and the audience.

In the picture, the setting sun gradually sets in the west, and the afterglow shines on the Helsalem River. The golden light and the river surface are sparkling. The Parliament Building next to it, with its spire against the sunset, is still shrouded in a layer of uneasiness. Under the shadow.

The sound of air raid sirens came from time to time, bringing a bit of horror and uncertainty to this quiet evening.

Around the Capitol, the usual bustling scene was no longer replaced by heavy troops and a sparse presence of reporters.

They either stopped and stared at the afterglow of the setting sun on the Helsalem River, or silently looked up at the Parliament Building, praying for the Empire in their hearts.

This afternoon, in the House of Commons in Helsalem, there will be a speech by Prime Minister Will Forte, which will be broadcast nationwide.

Three days before the lecture, various media began to report enthusiastically, and people from all walks of life were eagerly waiting for its arrival.

The prime minister's plight in the war cabinet was now well known to everyone in the Pollant empire.

this speech.

Also called by the media as a possible prime minister——

The last speech.
