1294 Human Nature
It took a whole week for the coalition to clean up the demons on the sea and the bottom of the sea, and after the Naga received the demon-breaking bullets that Don assisted, they have been swimming in the sunken New World looking for traces of the portal, and then using the demon-breaking bullets to destroy the portal - the demon-breaking effect can directly destroy the basic skeleton of the portal, which is quite clean and environmentally friendly.
After clearing all visible demons, the coalition stayed here for a few more days to observe the situation, after all, no one could say whether the demons would continue to emerge from here.
When they were finally sure it was safe, the coalition forces began to return one after another.
By the time the coalition returned to the Ilrus Empire, it was already the middle of the withering mid-month.
After entering the winter, the weather has cooled, and the Warcraft have gradually entered an active period in order to store the energy for the winter, so people across the country have gradually reduced long-distance travel for safety, and more choose to work or play nearby.
Seeing that the year is coming to an end, people do not feel much happiness, but are in a very anxious state.
The appearance of the demon has brought far more far-reaching impact to the Ilrus Empire than Tang En imagined, even if the army propaganda video and the live broadcast on the battlefield have saved them a lot of momentum, but the horror of the demon deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is a fear that is difficult for people to overcome.
Even when they saw that the coalition army had taken out the demon vanguard that invaded Purendal, people were only slightly relieved, and they were not completely relieved - almost everyone knew that the number of demons was extremely large, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was endless, and this time the vanguard army that was discovered by accident had already made the powerful Imperial coalition army fight with all their might, and what would be the consequences if they met with the demon's regular army?
People don't dare to imagine.
Traces of the Floating Island Fortress appeared in the sky one after another, and after the transformation, the very spectacular Floating Island Fortress appeared in people's field of vision, and people's sense of unease disappeared a little - after all, there was a visible fortress sheltering them in the sky, which was much more reliable than any promotional video.
"Asylum? Ahh ”
In a tavern in the City of Songs, a customer who was drinking slammed the table: "Who believes it!?" Yes? This is clearly that after he took power, in order to prevent people from rebelling against his rule, he just found an excuse to strengthen his armed forces! ”
The guest who was drinking next to him heard the man's gibberish, and quietly walked away from him, as if he could see something terrible.
"What demon invasion when we are all two or three year olds? The demons have been fighting the devil in the Purgatory Abyss all the time, how could they suddenly invade this world? Scam, everything is a scam! ”
The guy laughed and pointed to the magic energy projection screen and said, "Now what you see, hear, and think is all what that guy wants you to see, hear, and think, everything is under his control, have you ever thought that you are still free?" ”
"Mr. Karp, you're drunk, be careful......"
"Nonsense, I'm not drunk, fake, everything is fake, what demon invasion, what triumphant return, it's all fake, only the floating island fortress above our heads is real! What is he for? He is here to consolidate his power and to take out those who disagree with him and do not obey his orders at any time! ”
Karp laughed maniacally: "I'm not exaggerating, I mean, everyone here is rubbish!" Don't dare to sacrifice yourself for the sake of Sorant—"
At this moment, all the customers around were frightened, and they all hurriedly checked out and left the tavern, not daring to stay there any longer.
As soon as the customers walked out of the tavern, they noticed that several people shrouded in shadows had appeared beside Karp and surrounded him.
"Karp Guise, because your words and deeds have violated the regulations governing public opinion in wartime, the amnesty for you and your family will be revoked, and you will be re-investigated and educated through labor...... If you have any comments on this, please keep it because we won't listen. ”
After finishing speaking, the man waved his hand and said lightly: "Take it away." ”
"You can't stop me! We will surely rescue Queen Shannelli and help her return to the helm of Sorant—"
Karp's voice grew quieter and quieter, and soon disappeared into the street, and the hooded man, who stood there motionless, did not leave, but sat down by the bar under the terrified gaze of the tavernkeeper.
The boss trembled and said, "Your Excellency, I, we didn't listen to his nonsense......
The hooded man pulled his hood open, revealing that it was Lather, who had been recruited by Donn as a ghost agent in Alcanretia.
Rather smiled at the boss and said, "Don't worry, we won't do anything to you, Karp Guise is one of the three major families of Solant and a descendant of the Guise family, so he will be supervised, especially at this time, if he doesn't have a long brain, he will only pit their family...... Without further ado, let's have a Thunder Beer. ”
The boss gave him a glass of thunder beer in a trembling voice, watched him sit there and drink slowly, and after a while, he became a little bolder, and cautiously leaned over and asked, "This lord...... Are all the programs playing on the Magic Projection Tower real? Has the Devil really invaded our world? Have you been defeated by us now? ”
Rather glanced at him and smiled meaningfully, "Is it true or false, does it make sense to you people?" You just need to live your life and listen to those people bragging, why do you care so much? ”
The boss laughed dryly: "My lord, you are laughing, after all, it is a demon......"
If another country invades—just like Don conquered Solant in the first place, they can still have a life—but if the demons invade, then everyone has only one way to die, and of course he will have to prepare to run away.
Rather said lightly: "Now, our warriors have just returned from the front line, and they are there to fight for the life and death of this world, but you sheltered people are gossiping behind your back, and even trying to slander their merits...... Boss, don't you think we shouldn't punish Karp? ”
"Yes! That must be the way it should be! ”
The boss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and Rather just looked at him, which made him feel a lot of pressure.
Latser looked at the trembling boss, smiled, drank all the beer in one gulp, threw him a bill worth ten copper, waved his hand and said, "Enjoy your life now...... Although we have defeated the demons, this is only their vanguard, and soon, the real war will begin......"
Seeing Rather leave, the boss was blind, and the whole person was about to faint.
This war has been fought for nearly a month, destroying millions of demons, but it turns out that it is only the vanguard of demons? A real war is about to break out!? The gods are above! They've only had a few good days, and it's time to go to war again!
It was at this time that the boss suddenly realized what a happy and peaceful life Don had brought to them after ruling Solant.
"These stupid guys!"
After Fiona saw the reports handed in by the cities, she couldn't help but curse in a low voice, and Aurelia, who was sitting opposite her, couldn't help but laugh when she heard the words: "The people are all ignorant, and the ignorant people are the easiest to rule. Without a wise leader to lead them to civilization and prosperity, they will remain foolish forever. They'll only believe what they want to believe, how do you say that? You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. ”
"Okay, don't brag about your wisdom."
Fiona waved her hand and sighed: "Our Majesty Don is busy saving these fools on the front line, but these fools are in the rear doubting the truth of these things, and even maliciously slandering our soldiers, but we want to save these hopeless fools, this is simply a great irony." ”
The Karp Gise affair is not a special case, but a common phenomenon, and this situation has begun to appear when Don has enhanced the information exchange between the cities with various magical devices, and under the guidance of well-intentioned people, many people have begun to wonder if what they have seen is true - after all, there are such things as TV dramas, and it is also very possible to shoot something sensational to scare them, right? Anyway, they can't see what the other side of the sea looks like and what's going on, so what's going on isn't just what they say?
"No way, this is human nature."
Aurelia shrugged, "Don is quite thorough in this point. ”
"It's a hassle to deal with these people, who have now learned to arm themselves with democracy and public opinion."
Fiona has a little headache, these people are full of malice, and they can't deal with it, but now many people have been deceived by them and have been staring at them, if they are executed without giving any reason, I am afraid that the image that Don has been operating will completely collapse.
Therefore, it must be handled with extreme care.
Aurelia said a little dissatisfied, "What about Donn? Why didn't he come forward at this time? ”
None of them had seen any trace of Don for the past few days, and he didn't know what he was doing.
"He'......"
Fiona looked confused: "He's working on a crucial matter right now...... Perhaps, it is related to the future of our world. ”
Aurelia was shocked: "What do you mean?" ”
"Shilofria has managed to dig up the information that Don wants from Stanley, and not only that, but she has also dug up some unexpected information."
Fiona glanced at her faintly, "Right now, Don is listening to her report." ”
