Chapter 323 Public opinion
"Good boy, join the army."

The streets, alleys, mills, and even the most inconspicuous corners are filled with these vulgar official advertisements, and all of these are the "results" achieved by Menno after forming a navy.

Although this ad makes people get goosebumps all over.

Veiga almost died of poisoning when he went out to take a look, but it was unexpectedly effective for this holy city that has not been baptized by advertisements. This concept has been deeply poisoned...and affected the whole city.

Inside an abandoned residential building.

A few hooligans, shrews and urchins in twos and threes, a well-dressed old scholar, an innkeeper with clean eyes...

They saw a fat middle-aged man walking in from the door, and immediately surrounded him: "Master Commander, the rumors you asked to spread, and the advertisements that should be pasted are all done for you, look at the salary... "

blah-

Men Nuo threw the small box in his arms on the ground, and the slightly exposed golden light dazzled everyone's eyes.

As soon as a few hooligans were about to step forward, Menno stepped on the box and said, "I can give you the money, and I can even pay your wages on a monthly basis, but—"

Mennonite paused, seeing that it aroused everyone's interest.

Only then did he point to the few people in the lead: "I think your advertising is not strong enough. A large part of the hesitant people are not affected by the advertising and are still swaying left and right."

"Master Commander, we can't force them to join the army after all."

A few people showed embarrassment, but Mennuo didn't care about it: "I don't care about these. I want to see your results within tomorrow, especially those groups who are still hesitant. I don't want them to continue to affect the atmosphere in the city."

After finishing speaking, Menno closed the box and left the hidden residential building.

That night, in a bar.

Shaq is the owner of this bar, and also a member of the navy. The real gold and silver he gained and lost during the day made his heart bleed. Now he hates those swaying left and right. People who also mock other patriots.

Such a person is simply not qualified to live in the territory of this dynasty.

Although he himself is not a patriot, and he has no desire to join the army, and he can even betray the dynasty as long as he is given enough money, but at least he will not encourage and ridicule any patriot.

"madness!"

A voice caught Shaq's attention.

He saw a missionary wearing glasses pointing fingers at a few drinking civilians: "Relying on the empire's tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, and the princess's naive fantasy, you want to capture the city of Saint Laurent? This is the world at all." The biggest scam in the world can only deceive you stupid civilians, I didn’t expect you to really want to join the army and die for nothing, don’t blame me for not reminding you if you lose your life at that time.”

"Is Her Royal Highness really lying to me?"

People in twos and threes gathered around, and one of them even ordered a glass of sparkling wine for the missionary.

The missionary took two sips of wine and said in a condescending manner: "His Royal Highness is not only lying to you, she is simply using you as cannon fodder and bait!"

"My lord, what do you say?"

The respectful eyes of everyone gave the missionary a great sense of accomplishment. He put the wine glass away, and then continued: "If what I expected is correct, Her Royal Highness must want to take advantage of our patriotism. Maybe take Saint Laurent City, and then she can take advantage of you to attract the attention of the Royal Army, cross the Dunbu River in one fell swoop, and head to the west bank."

wow-

The whole lively bar fell into silence.

A commoner hurriedly refilled the sparkling wine for the missionary, and then asked, "My lord, is this true?"

"Exactly!"

The missionary said seriously: "The royal family has abandoned us. Her Royal Highness must return to the West Bank in the end. But as far as I know, the port city is now strictly guarded by the Royal Army, so I need to use you to attract the attention of the Royal Army." power, so I advise you not to fall victim to patriotism."

"Okay! That's great!"

Everyone applauded, and a magician said excitedly: "It's a good time to come to the bar to relieve boredom, otherwise I will become a victim of the royal family tomorrow. It's fine if they abandon us. I didn't expect to use us now." patriotism."

"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't matter if this country doesn't love it."

"I have to tell my friends not to sign up for the army."

"..."

With each person saying a word, the atmosphere of the entire bar changed.

A few minutes ago, everyone who was righteous and willing to throw their heads and blood for the dynasty turned their guns and condemned Princess Xiya and the royal family of the dynasty.

Seeing this scene in the eyes of the bar owner, his lungs were about to explode.

This damn missionary usually has a little cleverness to come to the bar to eat and drink, so he doesn't care about it, but now he openly encourages other people not to sign up for the army, and contributes to the crooked trend of Shenghui City. Isn't this because of his navy? What are you doing at work.

Cutting off one's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Today, the scene of a box of gold coins being carried back by the commander of the navy reappeared in his mind again, Shaq could no longer bear the anger in his heart, and he was going to let this damned missionary eat and walk around.

As the owner of the bar, Shaq is no idiot.

He deeply knows that violence can't solve everything, and using force against this damn missionary now will only indirectly anger a group of guests, and these drinking crowd may even attack him.

At this time, he remembered the special skill of the navy taught by the captain of the navy, Mennuo - splashing dirty water.

So he took out the prop box that every member of the navy has.

Open the item box.

Small cards and small advertisements were piled up in the small wooden box. From the bottom of the wooden box, he found a piece of the Royal Army's military officer's card.

Of course, this military officer's card is a fake, and Shaq has never seen what the real military officer's card looks like, but these are not important. What's important is that the words "United Kingdom military officer's card" are enough up.

Holding his military ID card, he raised his arms and shouted at the missionary: "Miss Missionary, Master Missionary, you came to the bar to drink last night, and something was left on my side."

The missionary who was giving an impassioned speech didn't even look at anything. He heard someone say that he had dropped something, so he subconsciously picked it up.

It was also this action that made the bar fall into silence again.

After a few seconds of silence, someone yelled, "That's an officer's card of the Royal Army." Then a violent incident broke out in the bar. The incident lasted for half an hour, and the missionary was beaten by angry Beat to death.

And what about the bar owner, Shaq?
After handing over his military ID card, he shouted that sentence and retreated behind the scenes. Then he made himself a glass of flamingos, and sneered at this missionary who hindered his great career in the navy and prevented him from earning gold coins. Go west slowly.

This scene doesn't just happen in bars.

After being tempted by Menno, the angry sailors broke out with extremely terrifying fighting power.

The people who spread the negative news about Vega and Shia that day were killed and injured countless times, and the entire Holy Glory City turned against them overnight. Now, no one dares to spread negative thoughts in public.

The power of public opinion is formidable.

On the evening of the third day, Veigar found that the number of people signing up to join the army had more than doubled.

In just one day, Veigar recruited close to 1600 new recruits, and even the deserters of the former dynasty recalled more than [-] people, including a certain number of magicians and professionals.

It can be said.

Veigar's naval tactics were very successful, allowing him to recruit a sufficient number of cannon fodder troops.

Now, he finally has the confidence to prepare for the Saint Laurent battle.
