We're the ...... I mean, the king and I, as well as the nobles who remained in Hadrang, knew the power of the Red Federation, and knew that joining the Red Federation would bring happiness to the people. ”

In the barracks outside the Iron Crown of Hadron, Kevin Towne explains the situation in the kingdom to Kirly.

"But not all the people agree with the path of the Red Union, and for the majority of the people, especially the common people, they are no longer bound to the land, they are no longer the private property of the nobility, this is the greatest freedom. ”

"They are free to follow their dreams, and they are especially concerned about the freedom to quit at any time, which ensures that they can change their homes, go to more profitable places, or do more profitable jobs at any time. ”

"Even if they don't believe in the original propaganda of the Empire, through the channels of Prell City, they have a good understanding of the Red Alliance. For them, a place where black market smuggling, the skin and meat business, gambling and gladiatorial activities are prohibited necessarily means no freedom. ”

"They can't be blamed for this, mortal nature...... At least that's one of them. ”

"Many people still dream of earning enough gold bushels, returning to the countryside to buy a piece of land, running a knighthood or even a knighthood, and living the life of the aristocracy that oppressed them in the past. ”

This former attendant of Theresia, the commander of the Southern Legion of the Dawning Empire, and the young man who was also awarded the title of marshal at the end of the empire, had an unusually respectful attitude. When explaining, he tried to refrain from looking directly at Qili, otherwise he would blurt out the words "It's better to let Li Qi come forward".

At this time, Strange is little Strange Beauty, who came to Hadron in the name of Goodwill Ambassador to prepare for Catherine and Leia's visit.

Done's words made her feel deeply, she had seen enough of this kind of humanity in Prell City.

It had been more than two months since the ownership of the Dawning Star had been determined, and it was winter in the year 1232 of the Quaternary of Finn. The Salvation League was running at full strength, and the Red Union and the Blue Covenant were fully mobilized. Compared with the vast territory and large population, the Red Alliance's manpower gap is getting bigger and bigger, and Qili has no choice but to go into battle in person to solve the human resources problem from the diplomatic level.

The first target is naturally the Hadron Kingdom, and Qili's plan is to find Kevin Towne first and try to pull his entire legion to the Red Alliance.

Before coming to Iron Crown City, Qili first went to Prell City.

The city of Prell no longer has a lord and is governed by an administrator elected by the city council. Sebadian, the old butler of yesteryear, retreated into the background with a number of big businessmen, and the ruling group centered on him had a much deeper grip on the city than before.

In Qili's eyes, Sebadian has completely transformed into a powerful person in the new era. This guy believed in the goddess of commerce, owned several trading houses, and also invested in magic guide cars and floating ship workshops, not only presided over a large amount of basic material trade from Chilian to the outside world, but also almost monopolized the luxury goods trade from Benuin to Hadlang.

The old butler's loyal and stereotyped character has completely changed, and when he saw Qili, he knelt on the ground and cried, saying that the old man used to always talk about a young lady who was left behind besides Li Qi, and now that he finally saw the young lady, he couldn't wait to leave everything behind and return to serve the young lady.

There is a limit to how much you can open your eyes and tell nonsense!

When did you tell Li Qi that you had a sister?

Qili was full of resentment and could only digest it by herself, and decided to settle accounts with Cheyenne after she went back. It was that guy who came up with a bad idea to make a brother-sister theory, and he volunteered to be a witness to lies.

Sebadian's pretentiousness is also to reassure Qili, at least this guy won't make any noise about the Li Qili siblings. Although he has changed from a loyal steward to a slick and powerful man, he knows very well where his roots are, and he has rarely done anything to damage the interests of the Red Union.

In order to take a stand, Sebadian also married Lily, the former bucktooth maid. Now Lily naturally has no buckteeth, and she is already a beautiful and generous lady, pulling Qili to tell Li Li about farming in the viscountdom as a joke.

Lily and Qili bit their ears: "The master's current identity is amazing, miss, I'm afraid you won't be able to get married, even the king is not worthy of you." Therefore, between the young lady and the master, in addition to the brother-sister relationship, it is only stable if there are more bonds, which is also the tradition of the aristocracy. ”

Qi Li shook her head, saying that she didn't understand what other bonds could exist between brother and sister, and it was still the tradition of the nobility of the old era.

In short, this couple is a mortal model who can balance the interests of the source in the era of the old and the new, and it is also a portrayal of the trading city of Prell.

Backed by the Red Federation and supported by the goddess of commerce, Prell City has been spared from all wars and conflicts in the past few years. Even if it encounters a meteorite storm that is close to extinction, because of the abundant funds and manpower, and the complete range of defense facilities, the loss is quite slight. Of the 600,000 local and migrant population, less than 10,000 died.

Qili put on a disguised cloak and dressed up as an ordinary person to walk around the city of Prell, and what she saw and heard made her extremely emotional.

The citizens of the city of Prell were unusually wealthy, and even the taxi drivers wore fine Benuin woolen coats and gold and silver ornaments on their hands and necks. These guys are supposed to belong to the working people's class, but they are well-informed and very picky. Don't go to remote places, the passengers are too rustic and don't have a good enough attitude, and they declare in advance that they don't give tips and don't go, in short, they look like people, so that Qili has a strong sense of déjà vu.

This temperament is not unique to taxi drivers, but also to unloaders in shops, taverns, newsstands, and even docks.

Even if Qili is disguised, she is still a beautiful girl, and she has not suffered any trouble. Sadar, who accompanied her, was refused to be carried and sold many times, and suffered countless blank eyes. Sadar's rustic appearance is one thing, but the unchanging North Hadran country accent is the bigger reason, and it also shifts Kira's sense of déjà vu from the earth world to Eve.

There weren't many drinkers in the tavern talking about the existential crisis that had not yet been eliminated in the world of Fein, and for the low-level transcendents and civilians, whether it was Heavenly Mountain or the Elven Navy, it was not something they could do to have even the slightest impact, it was too far away for them.

The hot topic happened to be what Qi Li cared about, and the rumors that the Red Union wanted to "annex" the Hadron Kingdom had already spread, and the drinkers were discussing what the people of Prell City should do, which was related to their vital interests.

The consensus among the drinkers was not surprising, and most of them rejected joining the Red Union. If the Red Union is forced, the cat jumps out of the window and the dog drills a hole, and each goes to find a more promising place, and if there is nowhere to go, he will admit it. And their expectation is that the goddess of commerce will come forward and continue to maintain the neutral status of Prell City, and it would be even better if the goddess of liberty could be brought over.

Sardar was furious, and Kiri stopped him from losing his temper.

It is the nature of mortals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but in addition to the basic survival needs of eating, drinking, and lazing, it is not a natural rationality that mortals have, and they must dig deep into the soul.

The reality is that the mortals of the world of Fein have just broken free from the old era of direct oppression of body and soul in general, and they are enjoying the dividends of the change of times. In the current era, the human-god ruling class composed of the nascent gods, the magic bourgeoisie, and the businessmen has not only changed its means of rule, but also because of the existential pressure of the Finn world and the competitive pressure of the Red Federation, it has not revealed its true colors, and it seems that it still plays a positive role in leading the people forward.

At a time when the ruling class has not torn off its pretenses, when its oppression is mild, when the lives of mortals have improved dramatically, when they are full of anticipation for the future, and when their suffering is far from reaching its peak, it is impossible to dig into the soul to the depths of the desire for cosmopolitanism.

The Red Union can gather more than 10 million mortals, all of which are earned by doing work by Fei Gong and various karma. To transcend the stage and forcibly incorporate the majority of mortals into the cause of cosmopolitanism, mortals reacted in the same way as these drinkers.

They haven't had enough......

Qili saw everything expected in Prell City, which was the epitome or benchmark of the mortal world outside of the future Red Alliance.

In the city, she saw high-end taverns offering a variety of exotic delicacies, not for tasting, but for visitors to enjoy a communicative atmosphere that was inaccessible to the inferior.

She saw the long queues in the red-light district because the adventurer Aung Hlaing of the Red Union was not far away, and the Prell City Hall also banned human trafficking and forced prostitution, and the service staff here were all volunteers. The large screens hanging on both sides of the street are full of provocative images, many of which are proud of the identity of happy saints.

Like the gods of the law and the gods of literature and music, the Lady of Joy split a new will from the gods of order and was accepted by the Salvation League. It is clear that he has not only returned to his old ways, but is also more comfortable than in the old days when he was confined to the aristocracy.

Aurora, Theresia and Hathaway have become the public lovers of the older generation, many happy saints have become the objects sought after by the new generation, and on the network of the gods, each of their limited-level mirages has a sales volume of 100,000 yuan, which can be seen from this point that Ms. Huanyue's achievements in the future are limitless, and will even have a rather adverse impact on the spiritual civilization construction of the Red Federation.

Qili also saw Gambling Street in Prell City, where dozens of casinos were decorated with gold and splendor, and the flow of people was endless. There are rich people in fresh clothes and angry horses, and there are poor people in ragged clothes, and from time to time there are screams and screams, and the fluctuations of magic and magic.

In the center of the street stood two statues of the goddess of luck and the goddess of bad luck, on which actually gathered a lot of divine power, Qili believes that these two goddesses who have been hidden in the shadows will soon show miracles because of the growth of the gambling industry, and officially appear.

Qili also did not forget to observe the commercial temple of Prell City, and the urban area centered on the commercial temple is the wealthy area of Prell City. The infrastructure is excellent, the security is tight, and there is another layer of hidden protection under the city defense barrier, and Sebadian also has several industries here.

Here she saw not only a variety of luxury stores, but also various financial services industries such as pawnshops, banks, and consortia. In this city, the temple of commerce has gradually moved from the front of the stage to the background, no longer engaged in all kinds of direct customer-oriented business, even the delivery service has been transferred to independent institutions such as the "Portal Comptoir", and only the business of distributing gold bushels.

On the corner of the affluent area, Qili also saw the "Trade Wind Street" where many media outlets gathered, such as the lower house of Shendian Mountain, these news agencies scoured the vast network of gods for promotional materials that met the wishes of investors, made newspapers and mirages, and sold and broadcast them to the whole city.

There are many news agencies that don't know who they are receiving money from, and who specifically speak ill of the Red Union. However, the bad words are based on the play and interpretation of the facts of the Red Union, which just caters to the psychology of the majority of citizens. Even if the city hall doesn't want to spoil the relationship with the Red Union, there is nothing they can do, and these news agencies have not only the god of trade winds and the god of the media in the background, but also the goddess of business.

By contrast, the "ideological work" of the Red Union in Prell City was far from satisfactory, after all, it was only here that there was a trade office and a service center for the adventurer Aung Hye. Many grassroots and even middle-level personnel have been corroded in their beliefs here, and many organizational accidents have been caused.

After spending three days in Prell City and inspecting all aspects, Kiri also has a plan for Prell City, and she will submit a proposal to the central government to retain Prell City's neutral status.

The forces that promote the development of Prell City will inevitably have a life-and-death duel with the Red Federation in the future, but judging from the current historical stage, it is still progressing on the whole. Moreover, even now, the Red Union has to rely on Prell City to export all kinds of low-level materials and introduce scarce materials, and it is a long-term objective need for the red and blue sides to have a neutral exchange window in East Finn.

Of course, the propaganda work must be grasped well, and you can't just sit back and wait for the next stage to come because the red road is ahead of the historical stage, and take the initiative to hand over the propaganda position to the other party, but this is also a matter after solving the problem of Heavenly Mountain and the Elven Navy.

The investigation in Prell City made Qili recognize Don very much, this guy did not mix his own private goods, and the explanation was very neutral and objective.

She asked reluctantly: "What about the officers and soldiers of your legion, as well as yourself?"

Donn smiled bitterly and said, "Marshal Rimac has already talked to me a few days ago, and then His Excellency Hathaway also talked to me, and said that His Majesty Cynthia will personally ......"

Sure enough, Hathaway's side would definitely not give up on Hadlang, considering Donne's personal relationship with Richie, and Hadlang had long been regarded as his own land by the Red Union, so he did not make a ruthless move, but persuaded him very gently.

At this time, Don finally looked directly at Qili: "To be honest, if I can no longer follow His Majesty Theresia, His Majesty's faith in Cynthia is more suitable for me. ”

He exuded a hint of anguish: "I have tried to believe in Her Majesty Theresia as a god, but I ...... No, only the mortal Theresia is worthy of my life and soul to follow. ”

He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's affairs, His Royal Highness Qili has not experienced it, he shouldn't understand it very well, if Li Qi can come, he should understand." ”

Qi Li twitched the corners of her mouth, always feeling that this guy was making excuses, wanting to see how beautiful the elf Da Qili, who is the beauty of justice, and then laughing at Li Qi's female and male soul in the form of Da Qili.

I'm afraid you don't know, what Li Qi understands, Qi Li understands. And what Qi Li understands, Li Qi may not understand.

"As for the officers and soldiers below, they have been stationed in Hadron in the past few years, and they have actually had a place to go. ”

Donn continued: "Most of them got married, had children, and settled down. Many served in the Kingdom Legion, many ran business, worked as escorts for merchants or piloted floats and magic cars, and the rest were in the adventurer Aung Hlaing or the network of the gods...... Oh, back then, it was called the Legend Network to make money. ”

"I'm the commander of the legion, but because I can still get some salary from the empire for them, and I can be of the most useful when I speak. ”

"Now that the empire is gone, Hadron won't pay them extra salaries, and my words won't be too useful. ”

"And it's hard to ask these guys who have already started a family or have their own plans to join the Red Federation collectively and fight for the world......

At the end, Don sighed deeply: "If the Red Union forcibly annexes Hadron and drives them and the Hadron people into battle, I believe there will be no strong resistance." The wars and natural disasters of the past few years have made everyone numb. ”

"But there will still be blood in the end, and the people who shed blood and even sacrificed for it are precisely the most loyal and determined good people. Personally, I really don't want to see that happen. ”

Qi Li also walked around the Iron Crown City before coming to the barracks, and the Iron Crown City basically still maintains its old appearance, not as prosperous as Prell City, but what Prell City has, Iron Crown City also has, but it is only slightly underdeveloped, and it is only a matter of time before it catches up.

Don's words caused Kiri to fall into a deep groan, and after a while, she said in a low voice, "In half a month, I will be the king...... I mean, the death day of the previous king, let's have a celebration. ”

Don Eun's eyes widened and he looked at Qili with a "Are you crazy" look.

Anniversary...... Celebration?

Qi Li nodded very solemnly: "I'm not wrong, celebration, at the celebration we will solve the problem of the fate of the Hadran Kingdom." ”/5_5025/
