Just then, a majestic figure slowly approached him. He told Joshua that just as God parted the Red Sea for Moses, He would now tear down these walls for you.
The next day, Joshua led the soldiers, carrying the Ark of the Covenant, around the city walls once a day. On the seventh day, they circled seven times, followed by the priests blowing the trumpets.
Joshua shouted loudly, and a miraculous event occurred. The sky and earth changed color, a fierce wind howled, the ground began to crack, and the walls of Jericho instantly collapsed.
The power of God is the greatest; no one can resist it. In this way, Joshua successfully conquered the city.
He then led his people to live a happy life.
Many years later, Joshua passed away, and the Hebrews were without a strong leader. Consequently, they were frequently oppressed by the Philistines from the surrounding regions.
At this time, a man named Samson emerged. He had an unusual physique and possessed immense strength. Later, using his great might, he pushed down a house and was buried along with the Philistines who had surrounded him.
Many more years passed, and the Hebrews still lacked their own leader. Unwilling to continue in such disarray, they decided to elect a king to lead them, and this person was the progenitor of your father.
Our great Lord, Solomon, was your progenitor and ours as well. Solomon was the third monarch of the ancient United Kingdom of Israel. In the "Book of Kings" in the Old Testament, he is described as possessing extraordinary wisdom. He was the son of David and Bathsheba. He reigned approximately from 971 to 931 BCE. During Solomon's reign, he transformed the capital, Jerusalem, into a holy city, making it the center of worship for Judaism, and it is also revered as a holy site by Christianity and Islam. Solomon's era was also a significant period for the development of ancient Hebrew culture. Many literary works were named after him and later became important components of the Old Testament. The Old Testament is the scripture of Judaism, and it was fully adopted by Christianity. The North Star is their symbol, their emblem, their faith, and their protection. Without the North Star's support, everything would turn to dust.
Your father had been hiding this secret, simply not wanting you to break down, as the time was not yet ripe. But now, the moment has arrived. All of this is not an illusion, nor have I fabricated it. If you still don't believe me, I can take you to see your father. Ask him yourself, and see how he replies."
I stared with wide, astonished eyes, utterly disbelieving everything the Dragon King had said. If this was true, we had always attacked the North Star, unaware that for so many years, the very people who created the North Star were our He family! Although now, it should be called the Solomon family.
Did Mr. Song and the others also not know?
My fear twisted into a tangled mess in my heart, my body trembling uncontrollably. I struggled to accept this truth. If the root lay with us, shouldn't we commit suicide to atone for our sins? However, I quickly dismissed such a ludicrous thought. If we were indeed the leaders, wouldn't it be simpler to surrender directly?
If we all surrendered, wouldn't everyone else scatter like startled birds?
"Leader, listen to me. Stand up strong! The North Star needs you. Come, I'll take you outside to see!"
The Dragon King pulled me along, with Marcus following. They didn't allow Nangong to come but instead led me outside the underground sewer company. How long had it been since I last saw the outside world? The moment I saw the moonlight, I felt my skin breathe anew.
"Look, everyone is waiting for your command. With just one order from you, we will all set out and take Guangming City!!" The Dragon King's face was grim, yet he roared with impassioned fervor. The surrounding mercenaries stood at attention. I saw a vast plaza above the underground sewer company, with several helicopter platforms behind it, countless armored vehicles, and approximately ten thousand mixed troops of mercenaries and men in black, all standing before me in perfect formation!!
With just one order from me, these people would go mad and launch a full-scale assault on Guangming City!!
They were all heavily armed. Once they attacked Guangming City, it would undoubtedly result in immense casualties.
The Dragon King grabbed my hand and continued to coerce me through telepathic communication...
"Leader, the time has come..." The Dragon King and I stood at a high vantage point. Countless members of the North Star organization were behind us. We gazed out at the vast expanse of Guangming City. The Dragon King suddenly said, "Are you still hesitating? Do you intend to wait until your father arrives? His men are currently clashing with the police. If we don't provide support soon..."
"What?" I yanked at the Dragon King's clothes. "He's already launched an attack?"
"That's right, Leader. We must capture Guangming City, or the plan will fail completely. Do you know that, Leader? This is what we can do now. We must quickly advance towards the Provincial Department!"
I had to go back, but certainly not as a criminal. If my father was indeed the leader of the North Star, regardless of whose bloodline I carried, and no matter who our progenitor was, I would personally arrest He Guanghui!!
I had long been a member of the police force, the leader of the Punishment Squad. My background from the past was no longer important.
"I order all units to advance towards the Provincial Department in Guangming City and attempt to rescue the Great Leader!"
"Yes! Leader!" Tens of thousands of members of the North Star International Criminal Organization roared, brandishing their weapons and beginning to board vehicles one after another. These criminals were like beasts that had been cooped up in a vast forest for too long; it was time for them to emerge and seek their prey in the depths of the grassland.
The Dragon King nodded at me with satisfaction and got into an armored vehicle with me. There were many mercenaries in the vehicle; I even saw special forces.
I had noticed earlier that they indeed had a significant number of special forces among them. The organization had gone completely insane. Were they finally going to go all out?
They actually intended to take the Provincial Department and Guangming City without regard for the consequences.
Finally, everyone set out. The scene was truly magnificent. The Dragon King remained by my side, supposedly protecting me, but in reality, I noticed he was constantly wary of me, as if he feared I might turn and attack them at any moment.
Time ticked by, and our armored vehicle approached the Provincial Department. On the road, countless thugs in armored vehicles charged forward, while mercenaries and special forces inside the vehicles lay in wait, seemingly ready to act at any moment.
Especially on the roads leading to the Provincial Department, a few small cars were overturned within a short period. The armored vehicles sped past, and several helicopters flew overhead, until finally, our people surrounded the Provincial Department.
