Demon Lord

Sally looked at the man in front of her eyes and gradually regained her fortitude, finally relieved. Roddy chewed her words carefully, and when he withdrew from his role as "Prime Minister of the Cabinet", the suffocating pressure finally eased.

After a while, he finally crossed this huge threshold in his heart. No one can decide the lives and deaths of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people during a laugh. The tremendous pressure of morality and conviction made Roddy into chaos for a time, even trying Escape, this is not shameful, but proves that he has a very firm bottom line in his heart.

However, this bottom line is commendable in the era of peace, and in the present world, it is ultimately incompatible.

Indeed, the war he initiated alone would cause countless deaths, and there must be innocent people, including women and children. But if you do n’t resist, and let Everta be annexed, what is the end?

The entire kingdom will be completely reduced to "cannon fodder", and all the people will die in numbness ...

When that time comes, the dead and wounded will be more than just soldiers. Perhaps the entire Karen kingdom will be thrown into the furnace of war mercilessly by the dragons. Although Roddy and Kardashian have real feelings, from the perspective of the ethnic group, the Dragon race and humankind did not stand on the same path after all.

Roddy remembered the movie The Matrix, and the details were hard to remember after so many years. But there was a sentence that seemed to be engraved in his head: "Human beings ... for them ... just batteries."

"I understand what to do."

Looking at the crystal wall, Roddy slowly lowered his palm, his eyes were very clear: "Everything on Hollier City is still going according to the original plan, and ... the actions of these people in the cabinet during the war I will record . "

He certainly wouldn't fully believe that the nobles in the cabinet would always stand with him. If it is external, the stance may be consistent, but in the face of the royal family supported by the Dragons, some people will make unwise moves under the huge risk of starting a war.

Numerous history has verified that the knife that has been stabbed behind is the most deadly.

"For Everta."

Sally smiled, and Roddy was saluting, "For everyone."

The picture of the crystal wall gradually disappeared after the energy was cut off. Sally standing in the core room stepped down from the dedicated platform, and the Arcanist stood behind him. When Sally looked over, she said: "Prime Minister Roddy reminds me of someone."

"Is the high elf?"

"Yes, maybe Lord Duke you have heard of it." Edith followed his finger, and the crystal wall next to him showed a thin and handsome figure: "He is called Solomon ..."

"He? Wasn't he exiled for studying elemental magic?" Sally knew Solomon's story, so she didn't understand why Edith said so suddenly, because the experiences of the two were not similar.

"It's not just this incident," Edith shook his head. "I mean all the experience of the Prime Minister in recent years. Since he encountered the orcs in the village of Nolan, it seems that he has avenged his entire kingdom with his own power ... "

"I'm curious, what happened to him."

After the arrival of April, the busy Karen Kingdom seemed calm, and in fact everyone realized that a storm was brewing here.

"The Karen Times" has completely given up the number one sales throne in the eastern part of the kingdom and replaced it by "Royal Weekly" because it seems to be writing exciting news every day:

"The latest achievement of the Dragon Tower Mage far exceeds Elson!"

"New wheat production doubles, or Kingdom's food gap is completely resolved"

"Congratulations to the birth of the first Magister of the Dragon Tower, and the Red Dragon Lord Kuio is here to celebrate!"

The editors of "Royal Weekly" are well versed in the truth and falsehood. One point is said to be ten, and negative news is positive. Most of the people in this era are illiterate, let alone independent thinking ability, can be understood as cultural. Find someone to spread the word in the square, and the content in the newspaper is basically accepted by the people.

Sometimes quantitative changes can indeed produce qualitative changes. After two months of this continuous propaganda, morale in the eastern part of the bleak East Kingdom has soared, and last year ’s territories ravaged by orcs have begun to recultivate. Later, the farmers were looking forward to the harvest, and served the field more diligently throughout the day.

The content of chats on weekdays has also changed from "Will the orcs come back" to "when to win Ephta". The public opinion-oriented power is the same. The lie repeated ten thousand times becomes the truth. Most of the nobles were hit hard by the fighting, but it was only less than half a year ago. People really believed that Charles II could once again gather a powerful team for the "Westward Expedition"!

That's right, "Xi Zheng" has become a well-known slogan.

Of course, such a wave of public opinion did not set off spontaneously. How could the "Elsen CIA" sit back and watch? However, Charles II was not a fool. After realizing the power of public opinion, he directly organized a team dedicated to the Qing Dynasty "Carron Age".

At first, an order was forbidden to sell, and one was seized after seeing one. After that, the sellers were severely punished for selling, from fine to imprisonment, and then Charles II ’s control of the army and aristocracy was in possession. After the support of the Dragons reached its peak, the inventory of the "Carron Age" near the Imperial City area made the influence of the "Everta System" almost completely disappear within a few months ...

This feeling allowed Charlie Niseche to realize the benefits of "centralization."

The influence of the Karen Kingdom's imperial power has been declining for the past few decades. The first nobles had thrown their heads and blood on the monarchs, but today they have paid their own interests and ignored the royal family. However, since the "Dragon Tower" was established, the aristocrats have come in a breeze, almost lining up to express their loyalty.

Charles II did not dare to make any major political structural changes like Roddy and was able to gather power, which has given him a fluttering feeling. When the aristocratic nobles in the Chamber lowered their heads to himself, he felt ten years younger. year old.

Power is the best aphrodisiac, and this is true. Not only has Charles II been very energetic, wrinkles on his face seem to be much less. He spends more than eight hours in the Chamber and study every day. He has never been so diligent in more than ten years of pro-government.

"I hope to see Everta take the initiative to give up at the end of this year. Although our situation is better now, the enemy is not the glass that breaks at the touch." Of course, Charles II did not indulge in vanity all day, and he also Don't forget to study the information and make a judgment. However, it is clear that the information he can get is far from as complete as the Elsen CIA, so the judgment is also wrong: "The two previous wars have highlighted the seriousness of the logistics problem, so this time we must do a good job sufficient preparation."

He took out a statistic with a lot of notes written on it, and the nobles around them could not help but sweat on their foreheads: they came to express their loyalty and thought that it was just a matter of doing things, who knew that the emperor really was not a straw bag, all The homework is not bad at all, and the opening is a series of proportions of the previous battle losses and inputs, so that everyone will never despise.

Having said that, Charles II looked at their faces, secretly smug, and turned his head. He asked Count Deweyden: "What kind of new wheat can you increase the yield of the dragon that you mentioned?"

This question made Deweyden's face a little awkward at once. He coughed and had to bite his head and replied, "Your Majesty, in fact ... there is no new wheat."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Because I saw Elson preaching that he had a new type of crop in" The Karen Times ", and said that the output had increased several times, I felt that the leaders of the kingdom could not feel backward on this ... let the newspaper codify one The news went out, the seeds were actually the same as before ... "

Seeing that Charles II's eyes were gloomy, Deweyden immediately bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, this is actually a last resort! You have also seen that the morale of the people of the Kingdom has been very high recently. The angle makes them feel inferior to Everta. Moreover ... I specifically told them that these seeds need to be carefully serviced to have a good harvest, so that even ordinary seeds, the final harvest will be better than previous years. If the harvest is not good, say They didn't take good care of it ... "

This remark was completely nonsense, and the other aristocrats in the Chamber showed a disdainful look ~ www.readwn.com ~ but Charles II narrowed his eyes and said, "Go on."

"At that time, we will exemplify some high-yield areas in the newspaper, and exaggerate their mass production figures to three or four times the normal amount, so that everyone believes that it is not a problem of seeds, but their own problems. In the next year, they will Taking more care of the fields and earning time for our research and development ... "

After hearing what he said, Charles II suddenly burst out laughing: "Okay! Good! Good!"

After saying three good things in succession, he turned to the other nobles and said, "This is the use of newspapers for ideas! Do you think those who read newspapers are smart people? Actually what the newspapers say they believe, even me Saying that there are two suns in the sky, there will also be a group of people who come up with arguments to confirm my words. "

"Deweyden's idea is very good. Last year, we were attacked and suffered heavy losses, but this year's special circumstances were treated specially. With the assistance of the Dragons, we will surely be able to quickly regain the land and complete the great cause of reunification. Revival! "

"For the revival of the kingdom!"

The impassioned words echoed in the Chamber, and Charlie II was full of redness and spirit.
