Chapter 119: If the blood river doesn't dry up, Uncle A won't die
(10.1 On the shelves, ask for attention, ask for support!) )
A square speech intended to show the majesty of the new king, reflect the benevolence of the new king, and praise the strength of the royal family, was won by Carlos, the third king of the kingdom of Alterac. Barov played out the flowers.
Under the watchful eyes of nearly 20,000 people of the Kingdom of Alterac, Carlos. Barov made a voice in the name of the country.
The succession of a new king to the throne and the gift of charity are all due to be seen.
With a wave of their hand, the Barov family reduced the taxes of the freedmen in the kingdom for one year, which was not a big deal.
Carlos's promise to organize state-level frontiers after the war caught the eyes of the homeless and powerful aristocracy, but the middle class was not interested.
The land confiscated in the Great Purge in the name of punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, Carlos decided to grant it to those who contributed to the country after the war. Originally, many people didn't care about this article, but when the king went to the title deed and read it out one by one, everyone's snort was aggravated.
That's nearly one-fifth of the kingdom's land, and it's all cultivated land, with fertile mountain pastures and mines.
Carlos threw a title deed at his feet after reading it. By the time he finished reading the last one, the scattered title deeds had been piled up into a small mountain. Unconcernedly, he trampled on the title deed, which symbolized the land, and Carlos hinted at the authority of the new king with such an act.
"Want land? Want wealth? Want status? Trade the lives of the orcs! Only the land watered with blood can grow into peace and prosperity. The tribe is not dead, the orcs want us to work for them in shackles, only by fighting, only by fighting, can we keep the bread in our hands. Humanity can only be free and dignified if we are united, and only when all the people of Alterac are united. ”
Amid cheers, Carlos stepped into the crowd.
Although he knew that the people who could approach the podium were "good people" and "To", these people who were originally diehard loyalists of the Barov family seemed fanatical and excited. But Carlos saw the eagerness in the eyes of more people, in their faces, and that was enough.
Just as the new king showed his pro-people side, an accident happened.
A child who was lifted by his own mother on top of his head, waiting to receive bread after the speech.
The mischievous kid uses a slingshot to tell a sheep poop egg and shoots it in Carlos's face.
Then the guards who maintained the scene swarmed up.
"Silence!"
Seeing that the incident was showing signs of getting out of control, Carlos decisively used Divine Rage to suppress the scene.
In the majesty and solemnity of the Light, Carlos attracted everyone's attention and delayed the riots.
"Asylum!"
Realizing that something was wrong, Carlos cast a protective blessing to block the desperate sword for the mother and son.
Someone fished in troubled waters, this was Carlos's first reaction.
Step by step, he walked towards the assailant guard, and unloaded his sword slowly but forcefully.
"You're overreacting, go down and rest." Carlos said solemnly to the soldier.
Soon, someone else came and took the soldier under control and took him away.
"Control it well, there are other accidents, I want him alive!" Alex's heart beat rapidly.
If it weren't for the protection blessing blocking the sword, this matter would not have ended today, and the Grand Duke did not believe that it was an accident.
The square of tens of thousands of people is as quiet as the streets and alleys of late night
"Kid, why do you hate me?"
Instead of focusing on the woman on her knees, Carlos asked the child gently.
"I remember you, Dad was alone when he went out, and when he came back, he became a piece of paper, and the guy who wrote the letter was called Carlos. Barov, I remember you! You killed my dad! ”
The child's words made Carlos a little stunned.
"What's your father's name?" Carlos asked.
"Victor. Plum! The child said proudly.
Carlos remembered for a moment, crouched down, hunched over his back so that he could be eye level with the child.
"I remember your father, and I remember that battle, do you want to hear about it?" Carlos asked.
The child hesitated, but nodded.
"It was a hard battle, and three times as many enemies surrounded us. After a hard battle, we waited for reinforcements and defeated the orcs, and your father was seriously wounded by one enemy and five of them. When I was dying, I asked him by name and asked him if he had anything to say, and your father said this: Tell my wife that I love her, and tell my son that his father is not ashamed. Your father asked me, is he a hero? I replied to him at the time, yes. Now, too, I'm going to tell you, yes, your father was a hero. ”
After Carlos finished speaking, the woman began to cry, and the child was infected by the mother, and her eyes were a little red.
"Really? My father was a hero? The child asked, not noticing that the subject had been diverted by Carlos.
"Yes, he fought valiantly, against foreign enemies, he protected you, he protected everyone present, he protected the kingdom of Alterac, he is a hero of the Alliance, he is a hero of humanity!"
Carlos finished and stood up.
"Some people don't understand why we are fighting, they don't understand why I want to launch a full-scale war mobilization, those people only see that the money bag in his hand is light! The day before yesterday, the orcs attacked Hilbride, and we were indifferent because we were Steinbrad's men. Yesterday, the orcs attacked Tarenmere, and we were indifferent because we were from Alterac City. Today, if Steinbrad is attacked by orcs, are we still going to be indifferent? Tomorrow, when the orcs besiege Alterac City, who else will come to our rescue? Alien people, only if the whole people are united and fight to prevent your children from becoming orcs. Only by working together can Alterac have a future. ”
The sensational words made the scene warm again.
At the end of the speech in the square, Carlos arranged for the newly formed Knights of the Kingdom of the Church to appear.
Unlike the Alterac Royal Knights, the newly formed Royal Church National Knights is a reserve paladin formed by Carlos's henchmen, although there are only 200 people at present, but there are 113 paladins among them.
Different from the blue and white traditional dress of the Royal Knights, the costumes of the Royal Knights of the Kingdom of the Kingdom used a black background and white edges, and the cashmere dress was heavy and solemn, matching the temperament of the paladin, which attracted everyone's attention as soon as they appeared.
The head of state of another world once said: The military uniform must be handsome, so as to attract young people to join the army without hesitation.
Carlos agrees.
This is also the main reason why as a king is frugal, and even uses mulberry paper to go to the toilet.
The cost of these two hundred sets of ceremonial robes was enough to arm five hundred soldiers.
But Carlos thinks it's worth it, it's a model of an exemplary example.
The new king's speech in the square was largely successful, Alex did not hesitate to praise his son, the nobles showed unprecedented respect for the king, and the people praised the king for his generosity, benevolence, and fearlessness.
And named Victor. Lee's man became a household name in Otlante, a type that was erected by the royal family.
Afterwards, Fang Brick once asked Carlos: "Young Master, you have more than 100 battles in the south, do you really remember that Victor. Plum? ”
"Does it matter? The people need heroes, and I give them heroes. The king, named Carlos, replied.
