Chapter 125: Public Opinion
"I heard that the Xingzhu people have been defeated again. ”
"Well, and the loss is not small. ”
"Thank you, God. ”
"Anyway, the army of the Xingzhu Empire has suffered heavy losses, why don't we attack it yet? When the enemy recovers and then transfers the army, won't the situation we face be even more severe?"
"Generals have their own considerations. ”
"I think those generals are too greedy for life and afraid of death, such a good opportunity ......"
"Be quiet, you!"
"It's really infuriating, obviously I have gained such a big advantage, why don't I regain the lost territory? My family is still ...... in Donglan City."
Public opinion on the street continues.
In recent days, the Xingzhu Empire has been defeated repeatedly, leaving a large number of soldiers' corpses behind each time and fleeing in embarrassment, and the next day it is full of fighting spirit to attack the city, until it is completely defeated again because of some small mistakes.
Soldiers in armor walked by the streets, and when they saw people discussing the battle on the front line, they immediately stepped forward to stop them severely, and even hot-tempered soldiers fought at the people......
The young man in a simple cloth coat and a top hat was talking about the war on the front line in the crowd, but at one point he noticed a man who agreed to look inconspicuous in front of a fruit shop not far behind him.
He frowned slightly, but he didn't stop talking to the others.
In front of the fruit shop, the middle-aged man who was on crutches and looked a little inconvenient on his legs and feet moved closer to the crowd intentionally or unintentionally.
Finally, a look of anxiety appeared on the face of the young man in the top hat, and he pushed away some of the people around him who had been talking happily before, pulled the top hat down, covered his face, and then fled in a panic.
The middle-aged man on crutches snorted coldly, a cyan halo lit up around him, and the breeze caressed slightly, and he quickly chased after him!
It's just that the young man in the top hat looks like he is running in a hurry, and he doesn't use his real qi or anything, but in fact, his speed is not slower than that of middle age.
Suddenly, a large number of soldiers in armor appeared at the corner of the street in front of them, and the young man's face changed, and he had no choice but to burrow into the deep alley beside him.
The middle-aged man sneered for a while and took out his communication device.
"Hook the target, close the net!"
Cloud City is bustling, crisscrossing streets and alleys to form the most complex labyrinth, and if you are not a local who has lived here since childhood, it is easy to get lost in the depths of this alley.
Youths in top hats hid in these criss-crossed, interconnected alleys, but there were more and more pursuers behind them......
Until the young man crossed the next corner, there was also a group of people wearing cloth clothes, but surrounded by strong true qi.
"Hold your hands tied, hand over the information of your other companions, and we can make your death a little more painful. Among the people who caught up behind him, the middle-aged man who was still holding a cane in his hand said coldly.
"Alas~" the young man lowered his head and sighed, "This is really a headache." ”
Being cautious, the people present did not immediately surround him, and they could clearly feel that the young man was not too flustered.
"Since you've been chasing for so long...... It's time for you to rest. The young man smiled lightly, and pulled down his top hat to make a standard salute to the people around him.
This is a ritual of sending off the deceased, and it has always been used to congratulate the deceased at funerals.
The sky shatters like a mirror, and the surrounding scenery is like a torn canvas.
The huge feeling of vertigo made these elite agents of the Cloud Empire a little uncomfortable.
After a while, the surrounding scenery returned to normal, except that this was still the depths of the alleys of the Cloud Empire?
The situation reversed in an instant, and the elite agents of the Cloud Mist Empire were horrified to find that they were the one who was surrounded, and there was a large group of people in black robes standing at the edge of the warehouse, and the lifelike Holy Spirit Flower behind the black robe was particularly dazzling.
"Clear up a little faster, and then shift positions. The young man whispered.
"Yes. ”
The battle was on the verge of breaking out, but in this well-planned and prepared trap, the elite agents of the Cloud Mist Empire were at a disadvantage of being crushed, even if there was a low-level brave hidden among them, it was not enough to see, with the assistance of a large range of magic arrays, the Shadow Blade agents quickly reaped the life.
"Qian Maishu, I said not to be so aggressive, your illusion ability is an important guarantee for us lurking in Cloud City, and it is too risky to use you as bait. "Commander Huang did not participate in the battle, but walked to the young man who was alone and led the enemy here.
"Got it, Uncle Huang. The young man smiled nonchalantly, and everyone knew that he had not taken what he had just preached to heart.
"...... [Cloud Wings] are starting to notice us. Commander Huang sighed helplessly, and then began to talk about the situation with Qian Maishu.
"Everyone ceases their activities, bribing or coercing the minor nobles of Cloud City, and letting them create public opinion on our behalf. Qian Maishu thought for a moment, and then ordered, this time in the Cloud Mist Empire's combat operation, no one expected that it would be this young man who was no more than twenty-five years old to take the role of command and decision-making.
"[Eye of Interference] is working normally, so you don't have to worry about the enemy's prophet for a short time. ”
"The [Dying Fire] arrangement is 90% complete. ”
"There are nine enemy grain depots that have been detected, and we have successfully destroyed three so far, but Commander He and his team have also been discovered by the enemy and have ......been completely wiped out."
The information was listed one by one, and Qian Maishu watched as the blood in front of him gradually soaked the floor of the warehouse.
"Decisive Battle...... It's about to begin......!"
——
——
Cloud Empire Battle Room.
General Kant blushed as he watched the list of battle orders.
Can't do that...... You must not go out of the city to fight ...... the Star Bamboo Empire!
But...... He couldn't find a single reason to refute it.
He is very aware of the current situation in Cloud City, there are too many negative public opinions circulating among the people, and under the instigation of the Shadow Blade, more and more people are dissatisfied with the Cloud Empire's way of fighting in Cloud City, they are eager to fight out, regain the lost territory, and reunite with their families, which even began to include some powerful mercenaries, papal knights, and local nobles......
The pressure of public opinion is increasing, and they are temporarily taking those flies that are bouncing under their noses and have no way to hide the enemy's whereabouts in strange ways, and the large black magic operating in the sky, [Eye of Interference] has always interfered with the abilities of the prophets......
Moreover, in recent days, the enemy has moved the target to the grain depot, you must know that the population of tens of millions in Cloud City, the daily food consumption is astronomical, and the large grain depot has been burned to three, but it has only annihilated a dozen agents of the Shadow Blade......
The situation deteriorated further, and everyone clearly realized one thing, that is, the final outcome of continuing to hold on to the end was also the destruction of the city, and the difference was only in how long they could survive......
Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the successive victories in the front-line war and the morale is excellent!
