203.Citywide Directive (2)
The Paisi bird skimmed overhead, it was not a common breed in the Kingdom of Andoo, and its larger size suggested that it was a long-range messenger species, perhaps with the thoughts of two old friends who had crossed multiple countries, and was now shuttling through Zeber's airspace at high speed.
The straight-line distance is the shortest, but this section is not very peaceful, first of all, he almost bumped into the patrolling dragon song, which feels like an extraordinary "predator", and Paisi, who is good at sensing the aura of magic, knows this, and relaxes a little after dodging the catastrophe.
But when passing through the center of the city, a strange circle suddenly appeared in front of it - one-way traffic, if it collided, it would be killed directly, but fortunately, it passed by in time to dodge, and the edge of the circle scraped off a feather on its body.
Felicia took the lead in making gestures, leading everyone on the stage to the front of the giant screen.
"Snow?" The white feather that had been blown up by the impact fell to Jenny's cuff, and she picked it up. She was never a rule-abiding person, even in faith, her grandfather, the Earl, taught her more courage and freedom.
“blo ed liq!” Something familiar to Jenny resounded throughout the city.
In particular, people in the central square of the city felt deafening and covered their ears.
However, as long as you keep your hands crossed and flat on your chest, you can see the tam directly and hear the spell, and the Totem Slave Spell will not miss any of the eligible targets.
Orange-red streams of light poured out of the giant curtain and converged on people's necks.
The red spell mark is restrained downward, easily replacing most of the original blue, blue, purple, and even red of the same level, which is not as good as the high-level totem spell mark.
Without exception, the original curse mark on the neck of the sub-humans and beasts was replaced with a red spell mark with alternating water drop patterns, and the owners of the sub-humans and beasts who got the spell mark included the owners of the sub-humans and beasts, and now these masters and subordinates belong to the same master-Xia Zuo.
But Jenny is excepted.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and as she picked up the feather and threw it away, everyone in the audience fell into panic and confusion, and a crowded stampede was almost about to occur, because their necks were all engraved with red curse marks by streamers, including Rupert beside her, except for the eldest princess, who stood in place without panic, looking at herself apologetically with her eyes revealed.
"It's Xia Zuo's voice!?" Rupert was surprised.
But before he could question what was going on, another Xia Zuo's voice continued to come from the sky.
"All silent!"
In an instant, the voices of the people and the turmoil stopped, and the originally noisy city could only hear the sound of the Paisi bird flapping its wings and moving away.
"It works." The voice continued.
"That's right... This voice is Xia Zuo," Jenny of the Free Body said in disbelief, "What is he doing!?" ”
But Rupert beside him ignored Jenny and only looked at her with anxious eyes...
She realized the gravity of the situation - Xia Zuo had enslaved the whole city! I don't know how... The bizarre events that followed really made people's minds jam for a while!
"I'll explain to you what's going on," Xia Zuo cleared his throat and said calmly, making sure every word was clear, "You are enslaved by me, judging from the feeling of the curse mark on your neck and having to obey orders, you should all know this, first of all, I want to inform you that don't want to lift the spell mark in any way, it is an ancient high-level magic that you can't imagine, the "spell unraveling" magic doesn't work, of course, speaking of which, you should have thought of a common way to remove all spell marks- Kill the slave owner. ”
Listening to the unabashed speech, the heartbeat of the crowd became higher and higher. At this moment, Jenny was about to jump off the high platform and whistled loudly.
Her horse immediately burst out of a certain direction of the human wall, and both ran at the same time, and when Jenny reached the edge of the platform, she jumped onto the horse, which only carried her light weight and did not slow down her speed.
"It's great that you don't cross your hooves and then go to see the wooden platform~" Jenny patted the side of the horse's neck and said to the war horse, also to regulate her emotions at the moment.
She took a deep breath and had already made a decision - to go to her grandfather's castle and ask him to send an army to save Zeber. Not only that, but it is necessary to unite the other two fiefdoms, so that the forces of the three castles can barely fight the city of Zeber... Wait a while, against the enslaved Zeberian Kingdom Army, won't you become your own people and fight yourself?!
Jenny pondered as she rode swiftly through the crowd towards the nearest south gate.
"Anyway! Go to your grandfather first, and then think long-term. She purged.
What is Xia Zuo's purpose in doing this? Ambition? Seize the country? Become a king? Just as Jenny continued to wonder, Xia Zuo's voice came from the sky again.
"Now there are not only prisoners in the square, but also a total of 10,000 Standy Kingdom troops under guards."
The people wanted to let out an exclamation of disbelief, but the silence order had not been revoked, and they had to swallow the amazement.
"But from now on, they are the people of the Andu Kingdom," Xia Zuo continued to say unbelievable words, "You must get along well, you must not treat them differently, and in order for them to live in the city safely, you also need to assign them jobs... Yes, they are also well-trained soldiers, so let's use them as the expanded army of the Andu Kingdom~ All the people of the Standy Kingdom Army, you also do as I say, from now on you will be the Andu Kingdom Army..."
Everyone in the Standy Kingdom Army was dumbfounded, could this be the plan that Lord Rodney was talking about...? No... Could it be that Lord Rodney has been controlled as well!?
“... Then there are the sub-people, the beastmen, the dwarves, etc., the non-human race in Zeber, the former human slaves, you are no longer the slaves of the human race, you are equal to the human race, you can choose to live in the city of Zeber with the same opportunities, or leave here, this is your freedom; The Terrans must also accept and give them the same conditions of opportunity, without discrimination in any way..."
Xia Zuo's order is taking effect, and all the guards who strictly guard the subhumans and beasts have to let go of an invisible force compared to the other party's halberd...
Seeing this, the inhuman race gradually regained their composure from the initial uneasiness, and even felt that what happened today might be a good thing.
“... The eldest princess, Felicia, will be your queen from now on, and she has the right to manage all the affairs of the kingdom of Andu, and everyone must listen to her arrangements..."
Xia Zuo seemed to have prepared a draft, and the people in the city listened to his order for a long time.
“... And finally, no one shall inquire, communicate, or reveal in any way anything about me, nor shall the news of your enslavement be leaked in any way, and all shall continue their lives as usual from this day onwards—under the long rules that have been made before me. ”
Jenny was already extremely close to the south gate of Zeber, and even if she was so far away, she could hear Xia Zuo's speech clearly... Xia Zuo's intentions made Jenny more and more confused.
Ambition? Xia Zuo doesn't seem to have the tyranny of a careerist... Instead, it seems to be idealizing the situation in Zeber. From the past to the present, Jeanne has always been optimistic about the "beast fighting" behavior in the gladiatorial arena, and she has never raised and enslaved subhumans, and sometimes feels pity, grief, and injustice for their plight, because it is contrary to the spirit advocated by the knights, but it is something she can helpless.
"Maybe it's just that I haven't revealed my ambition for the time being, after all, the power is in my hands..."In order to strengthen her determination to enter her grandfather's castle, Jenny continued to encourage herself.
Because she had already begun to hesitate - telling the Earl's grandfather all this, would it lead to a civil war? The fact that the three major earls had not yet fully recognized the eldest princess's current inheritance, and the fact that the entire city was currently controlled by a conspiracy of a foreigner strengthened the reason why they sent troops to fight against them.
Jenny struggled to open the gate and continued to get on her horse and pass through.
The horses' hooves trampled on the dry ground between the grass in front of the city walls, shaking up dust. But I didn't go far before I heard the cushioning sound of wings spreading high in the sky.
Long Ge almost smashed to the ground, striking a cloud of dust scattered in all directions, blocking the way. Jenny had to make an emergency stop.
"Where are you going? Jenny Knight. The dust blew away with the wings of Long Ge, revealing her incomprehensible posture.
