From a geographical perspective, the Orange Free State was established in the area between the Orange River and the Wach River; from a national territory perspective, it is located between the Transvaal Republic and the Cape Town Colony, and is the connecting point of the long transportation line from Cape Town to Johannesburg.
Just taking the Second Boer War as an example, this place was a typical battleground where four battles were fought.
After the defeat on the front battlefield, a considerable number of Boer guerrillas were still active in this land. British occupation troops were scattered throughout the cities and along the railways, and the countryside and mountainous areas became the guerrillas' territory.
Many Boers who were unwilling to accept defeat continued to support their own people openly or secretly, and constantly attacked the weak links of the British occupation forces.
However, the Boers had a small population after all, and no matter how united hundreds of thousands of civilians were and how frugally they lived, the supplies they could provide were still limited. Coupled with the constant suppression by the British occupation forces, the days of the Boer guerrillas became increasingly difficult.
The guerrillas' base was getting farther and farther away from the city and transportation lines, so far that even the Boers who supported them found it difficult to contact them in time.
Under such circumstances, two "British" people sneaked into a guerrilla camp.
"These people are all real warriors." As soon as she entered the camp and saw the guerrilla fighters who were in ragged clothes and living a hard life, the Amazon Princess's heroic and glorious complex inherited from ancient Greek civilization broke out on the spot; she ignored the effect of the "Illusion Spell" on her body and spoke to herself, and it was unclear whether she was talking to herself or to Lin You.
Fortunately, the author, whose divine power has greatly increased, not only knows the "Illusion Body Spell", but also developed the "Illusion Voice Spell", which prevented the guerrilla camp from being directly blown up.
Don’t think that foreigners are not afraid of ghosts. The operation of “only hearing the voice but not seeing the person” may become the last straw that breaks the psychological endurance of the Boer guerrillas.
Lin You didn't even bother to sigh or roll his eyes. He just pulled Diana's hand and dragged her away, not caring that the girl was still pouting and reluctant.
By the way, except for facing her mother, aunt and other elders when she was a child, Her Royal Highness the Amazon Princess has never experienced the feeling of being "held hostage", especially when the other party is a man.
If you don't have some strength, dare to show your machismo to Wonder Woman? With a flick of her hand, you can experience flying around the earth at the first cosmic speed.
"Is Ares' evil thought really here? Could you have found the wrong place, or has He already left?" Diana was still restless as she was being dragged away; now that she found that the "Illusion Voice Spell" was useful, she became even more unscrupulous, just like when she had just left Paradise Island, she was like a questioning baby who wanted to know everything.
In Diana's opinion, Ares' evil thoughts came from the true God, so how could he hang out with a group of miserable mortal soldiers?
Lin You still didn't answer.
The guidance given by the Tree of Destiny was brighter than a lighthouse at sea, so how could it be wrong? Even if the God of Truth himself could not be found, at least Ares's true godhood could be found.
As for escaping... that also requires the other party to know the existence of the power of destiny.
The power of fate is the most magical power in the world. It is not like wind, fire, thunder and lightning, which give the outside world a strong intuitive impression, nor is it like space and time, which, although they are nothingness, can make people understand the great power contained in their concepts; the most frightening thing about fate is that it is unpredictable.
Gods can control wind, fire, thunder and lightning, fly into the sky and hide in the ground, and even control space and time; but they cannot control the power of fate. Even the gods who are in charge of fate in various mythological systems are often just users of the power of fate, not controllers; the so-called "knowing it but not knowing why it is so".
Therefore, in the mythological stories of the past, ordinary true gods could only silently endure the changes in fate, but could not sense the power of fate at all.
Seeing through the truth of the world was a collective rebellion of the gods against fate; that time they almost broke the influence of fate on them. But this rebellion was not actually done by the gods themselves, but with the help of the power of the "truth factor".
When the gods realized the existence of the "truth factor", simply because they "knew" it, they allowed the "truth factor" to spontaneously take effect on them, helping them jump off the chessboard and transform from chess pieces into chess players.
But "spontaneity" is obviously not "consciousness", and the effectiveness of the two is also very different. The "truth factor" can help the gods once, but it can help the writer countless times.
When the true gods hide in their respective realms of gods, they can continue to enjoy the benefits of seeing through the truth of the world and are not controlled by fate. But when they fall into the big world deeply influenced by the "real factor" and meet a writer who plants the tree of fate at the bottom of the big world, fate will inevitably show its power on them again.
If Patrick Morgan could see the power of fate and get rid of it again, it could only mean one thing - this guy's soul also came from the real dimension.
However, after dealing with him for such a long time, how could Lin You not know the details of the God of Truth? Isn't the author's biggest worry that a fellow from the real dimension will suddenly appear to compete with him for the job?
With full confidence, Lin You pulled Diana through twists and turns in the camp, actually moving forward along the "river" in the consciousness space.
They finally stopped in front of a large, simple tent; judging by the signs nearby, this should be a military hospital.
A middle-aged man with a bald head and thick glasses on his nose was busying around in the tent; the specific color of his clothes could no longer be seen, and every time he gave medicine to the wounded, he would subconsciously count it when taking it out of his backpack.
This middle-aged man had a high prestige in the military hospital. His way of distinguishing the wounded and sick was extremely cruel, and it seemed that he judged whether to give medicine based on whether they could be saved, whether they had a chance to survive, and how big the chance of survival was; but all the wounded and sick approved of his approach.
A conscientious field doctor who best meets the needs of the guerrillas - this is the image that the middle-aged man leaves on outsiders.
However, in the eyes of the writer, this man has another image. Because from another perspective, this man is emitting a divine aura from the depths of his soul; it is lingering and endless.
"It seems that the previous injuries have had a great impact on you, so that you can't completely restrain your divinity, Patrick Morgan?" Lin You didn't break the "Illusion Spell" until the other party changed the medicine for the last wounded person, but only two "people" at the scene heard his voice.
The middle-aged man sighed, walked out of the tent calmly and walked to the edge of the camp.
"I can't do anything about it. Thor and Tyr showed no mercy. A large part of Ares's godhood was shattered, and it has not been completely repaired until now." As the middle-aged man got further away from the camp, his appearance gradually changed, and soon he regained the features of the God of Truth. "However, logically speaking, the divine aura that escaped was very weak, and you shouldn't have discovered it."
"Maybe I'm lucky? Or as the Chinese say, I have a good fate, and everything I do can come true." Lin You's smile deepened. (End of this chapter)
