Chapter 353: Pre-war mobilization.
Many big things have happened in Maple Leaf Kingdom recently, and one of the most amazing news spread across the country overnight.
On the first morning of the cold winter, the royal family officially announced that the twelve families of the Maple Kingdom and their affiliated nobles had betrayed the kingdom, blasphemed their glory, fled on the battlefield, and disturbed the military's mind! Under the witness of Tyre, the Supreme God of Justice, these unforgivable and shameless men have all been executed by the holy and just protector of the country, General Gioni-Zodas, and all the nobles involved in the case have been deprived of their possessions. Title, deprive all property, deprive all private army, deprive any form of pardon right!
This announcement is really an explosion of thunder out of thin air, and all the little nobles of ordinary power who only exploded were dizzy and frightened.
For a kingdom, such a large-scale purge is equivalent to an overnight exchange of blood for 90% of the ruling class officials. The demise of the twelve ancient nobles is even more dangerous for the remaining little nobles in the country.
You know, these twelve families are the oldest nobles in the kingdom, and each family holds the huge power and wealth in its own territory, but in a single night, these great figures who were originally aloof were all slaughtered. This resolute and violent means completely deterred all the remaining little lords.
It is precisely because of this shock that even if such a big thing happened in the kingdom, the remaining nobles and merchants were still very wise to remain silent, watching the Zordas family's paladin army collect the wealth that originally belonged to the twelve families. And the private army, but no one in the whole country dared to jump out and say a questioning word, and no one dared to take the opportunity to take advantage of it.
But soon, the affairs of the nobles came to an end in the silence of the whole country. The secondary reason is that these things are meaningless to the poor who constitute the main body of the kingdom. The inside story of the destruction of the twelve families is too far away from the poor. .
As for the main reason, it is.........a piece is even more shocking, on a larger scale, and news that is closely related to every poor and noble has appeared............
plague!
Plague, famine, and war, these are the three terrifying disasters in the cruel world of Faerun, second only to the legendary powerhouses, any one of them has the ability to destroy a country, but at this time, in the Maple Leaf Kingdom In this sad country, these three disasters have all arrived.
So, what do the poor who face such terrible disasters look like?
Oaks, who is leading the guard to perform the "Glory Rescue" mission, personally witnessed the catastrophic helpless poor with his own eyes!
In fact, at the beginning, Oaks was very worried that the poor would riot when they heard the news of such famine and plague. In order to maintain order, he also brought a bunch of guards to deter the gathered poor.
But soon, Oaks knew he was thinking too much.
When he stood on the high platform at the entrance of the city gate of Meifenghua City, which was covered by ice and snow, he was faced with a thin body with a dim look in five or six thousand eyes. When he said with a heavy heart, "Famine" When the news of "coming" and "the plague has spread" was about to come, the more than 5,000 poor people in ragged clothes only murmured a few words before returning to silence, or to say...returning to death.
In the eyes of all the poor people present, Oakes saw a void of despair. The godless pupils became turbid one after another, and the gray faces showing signs of infection were only filled with unchanging sadness as if they were carved and inlaid, no matter in the crowd. Both the old man and the child had exactly the same desperate expression, and their eyes when they looked at Oakes were dull, just like...the corpses with their souls taken away.
"Oh, I hope the "hope" on the mobilization order can awaken these sad people."
Oaks didn't look at the pair of dead eyes again, he lowered his head silently, and while thinking helplessly, he opened the delicate parchment in his hand.
"Ahem, now, I—Ox-Zordas announces the mobilization of the War of Glory in the name of His Majesty the King of the Maple Leaf Kingdom!
Due to the treason of the twelve nobles and the despicable business monopoly of the Dragon's Roar Kingdom, the Maple Leaf Kingdom’s reserves are not enough to support the winter. At the same time, it is suspected that the despicable ruler of the Dragon's Roar Kingdom-the black dragon "Ovakin-Sour Maw" "The spread of the plague has spread, and the kingdom’s medical reserves are also insufficient to support the treatment of the disease. Therefore, the great and wise King, sympathetic to the will of the people, decided to launch a battle of glory against the Dragon Roar Kingdom. Anyone who is willing to fight for the Maple Leaf Kingdom. Everyone is allowed to be a member of the Glory Army, and..."
Speaking of this, Oakes suddenly raised the volume drastically.
"In this war, all soldiers participating in the war have the right to "retrieve" any food and medicine that was despicably stolen by the Dragon's Roar Kingdom. Any soldier's "retrieved" finances in the Dragon's Roar Kingdom belong to the soldier himself. The land "recovered" by the Dragon Roar Kingdom can be exempted from taxes for five years!"
After reading the most important announcement of this part in one breath, Oaks raised his head again and looked at the poor.
The cold wind slid across the cracks in Oakes' iron armor, and the whistling wind became more and more high in the quiet gate tower.
"Big...sir... Dragon Roar Kingdom really... does it really have food and medicine"?
The silence among the poor lasted for a while, until Oakes stood quietly on the high platform for more than ten seconds, when a poor man tremblingly asked a question while his eyes lit up with green light.
Quietly avoiding the starving gaze of the poor man, Oaks took a deep breath and said loudly as punk ordered:
"I can guarantee that every household in the Dragon Roar Kingdom has piles of Ququmai and pig meat plundered from the Maple Kingdom. Every vile half-dragon is used to putting a dozen bottles at home to treat any disease. The holy water, as long as we return to the original homeland, we will get unfinished food, and the local plague can be easily cured"!
I have to say that Oakes' acting skills are really worse than punk. When he said this passage, the words that should have been passionate became nondescript under Oakes' recitation.
But there is no other way. Oaks even felt unable to lift his head when he said these things. As an official-level paladin, he knew very well that the above words were all foolish nonsense, but...for the great glory war , He had to pretend that those nonsense are unquestionable truth...
"The ignorant people cannot understand the great glory. This is a necessary step to lead them to glory. I...I am righteous"!
Suffocating the guilt of turning around and running, Oaks forced a stiff smile to look at the poor people whose eyes were starting to turn green.
"For the sake of justice, for the Maple Leaf Kingdom, for... the unsullied glory, the war... has begun"!
