Section 697 Rumors
Green Continent, Languo Imperial Palace.
In the dimly lit chamber, a dozen men sat silently.
The atmosphere was a little depressing, and the man sitting at the top of the seat had a gloomy face, as if he had heard bad news.
"How many people have gone?"
After a long time of deathly silence, the man sitting at the top finally asked.
"Rough estimates, at least 100,000 people, about one-fifth of the total." A handsome young man stood up and replied.
The face of the man sitting at the top became more and more gloomy, his fists clenched tightly, and he slammed down on the armrest.
"Damn it!"
He seemed to be very annoyed, and he couldn't help cursing in his mouth, "I should have killed the killer in the first place, and I would never suffer in the future!" ”
"Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, we have an old saying in the Eastern Continent, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. This group of old and weak soldiers, a rabble, did not play much role at all. Rather than wasting our resources here, we might as well let them get out of here sooner! A young man reassured. His eyebrows are thick and his eyes are full of anger, and he knows at a glance that he is by no means a good person.
"I'm angry not that they left, it's that they didn't take the country into account at all!"
The man at the top gritted his teeth, his face was pale, "The great plan of the country, is it child's play!" ”
The wooden handrails were clattered and shattered.
"Lan Guo, it's not that they can come when they want to, and they can leave when they want!"
"Your Majesty is angry." The young man got up and said, "What a mere ant, why worry about it. ”
"Let Qin Wu go to the Red Earth Continent and tell them the consequences of angering the Lord of the Ambergris River!"
"Then there is Lao Aiqing."
"It is my honor to serve Your Majesty!"
Also shocked and angry at this moment are Reese Maris in the side hall of the Red Fort in the monitor lizard city, as well as Gavin Marris, Ricardo and others.
"Can anyone tell me where these wild dogs came from!"
Raisie turned pale with anger, and her towering breasts rose and fell. At this time, no one had the heart to enjoy the rare and spectacular scenery, and all of them had solemn faces, as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Can anyone tell me how a waste that was eating dirt in the edge town half a year ago did all this!"
Raisie screamed hysterically, completely ignoring the image of the princess of Allure. She's going crazy.
After these days of chasing and intercepting, the man was clearly cornered, and the only way left was to get out of the way, but he didn't know where so many mercenaries suddenly appeared, and they were rushing to join the other party.
In just a few days, the size of the expeditionary force had expanded to as many as 120,000. The military headquarters worked overtime all night, but it was still unable to meet the influx of registrations.
She couldn't help but ask herself if she was crazy or the world was crazy.
"I've sent someone to inquire." Ricardo stepped forward and said, "The reason why this group of mercenaries joined is not because of that Chen Xing. He didn't have that prestige, but because of another person......"
Princess Reese nodded, motioning for Ricardo to continue.
"This person's name is Tie Nuo, he is the head of the Thunder Light Regiment, and he was born in the mountains of his country."
"Because of his projection against the Gluttonous Monarch in the northern part of the Dragon's Tooth Mountains, the Human Survival Council awarded him the title of 'Human Hero'."
"Other specific deeds are still under investigation, but as far as is known, he is indeed a respectable person."
"Sure enough, it's not that guy! I knew how it was possible for something of such a despicable character to be embraced by so many people. Raese seemed relieved, at least the result was a little more acceptable to her.
"Now that you know the crux of the matter, it's easy to get things done. As long as we stink this Tienuo, all problems will be solved! It was a smiling young man who spoke.
His name is Jiang Jun, the first heir of the Jiang family of the Big Family of Monitor Lizard City, a top student who studied at Bailu Academy, a top college in the Eastern Continent, and is well-versed in military and political affairs.
Gavin Marris and Ricardo looked at each other, their faces a little unnatural.
The red country is martial and worships heroes.
Stinky a real hero, they are a little uncomfortable in their hearts. "Well, that's a good idea." Raisie nodded and groaned. As long as the news media is used to make use of the stinky Tienuo as Chen Xing did, the internal unity of the expeditionary force will be broken.
"Well, that's not good......" Gavin Maris subconsciously objected.
Reese's face turned cold, and she said coldly, "Dear brother, if you cherish your feathers and don't want to participate in this matter, let my sister and I take care of it." ”
"Just please remember that this is for the future of the family and the principality."
"How can this work!" Gavin Maris immediately objected, "Hiding behind my sister when I encounter something, how will I face my mother when I get to heaven?" ”
"As the eldest son, I must protect my younger brothers and sisters!" Gavin Maris said with awe.
"Brother......
The brother and sister sympathized with each other, and the matter was settled.
Stink that so-called human hero!
Since ancient times, virtue has only been a fig leaf for those in power. In the face of interests, all virtues are like paper paste, which can be easily torn apart.
But what they don't know is that it's easy to stink the mayor of a marginal town, but it's not as simple as they imagined to stink a real hero.
You know, there is a saying among mercenaries:
"In addition to the money in your pocket and the gun in your hand, if there is anything else to believe in this world, it is Tienuo, that is the Thunder Light Regiment!"
The hero is dead, but the spirit is immortal!
His dream has been inherited by countless people.
After Tieno's death, the mercenaries gradually saw the true face of Arashikoku.
Beneath the beautiful exterior lies naked scheming and profit. Where there are dreams, they are just victims of the Game of Thrones.
The only thing that can be believed is the tall man who used all his life and blood to pursue his dreams.
They firmly believe that as long as they follow that back, they can go to the ideal country.
So, they came here to fully support the successors of Tieno.
"The earth-shattering scam, the rumored human hero, turned out to be an exiled criminal who smuggled back from the Black Death Continent!"
"Hero or criminal, there is only one truth!"
"Serious protests, individual staff members of the Human Survival Committee have neglected their duties, and there have been major omissions in the awarding of titles!"
"Tie Nuo, a native of Daling Mountain, has a violent personality, and when he was a teenager, he kept his height and weight and often bullied his peers. He got into several fights with people in the street and was a frequent visitor to the detention center......"
The reports of the harbor of evil intentions came as scheduled, and all kinds of tabloids and magazines were overwhelming, slandering, distorting, and slandering Tieno as much as possible.
Although not many people in the expeditionary force believed it, especially those who had been in contact with Tienuo, they were so angry that they wanted to smash the newspaper office, but they were only restrained by Chen Xing's order to be restrained by the gendarmerie, otherwise they would have done it a long time ago.
But the people are ignorant, they have no contact with Tienau, they have no way of knowing the deeds of the heroes, and all the news comes from newspapers and magazines.
Another characteristic of the people is that they are in the same way. When lies become the majority, lies become truth.
For the vast majority of people, newspapers and magazines say that this person is a good person, then this person is a good person, and newspapers and magazines say that this person is a bad person, and this person is a bad person.
For a time, Tienuo's reputation plummeted.
All kinds of dirty water was splashed over, and Tieno was soon labeled as a "fugitive", "exiled felony", "stowaway", "juvenile delinquent", and "violent maniac" by the people who did not know the truth.
"Let go of me, I'm going to fight them!"
Fire's eyes were red, like an angry bull. Seven or eight gendarmes grabbed him by the hands and feet, and pulled him back desperately.
The rest of the Thunder Light Regiment were also emotional, all like powder kegs about to explode. The gendarmes used their bodies to block them, and some of them were knocked to the ground by the enraged soldiers, disgraced and embarrassed.
Chen Xing rushed to the scene, saw the chaotic scene, and shouted with some hatred, "Don't pull it, let them go!" ”
"Better make things bigger and make our enemies see the joke!"
"If you break up the expeditionary force again, everyone will go back to farming!"
"With this little bit of heart, it's really better to go back to farming!" The gendarmes stopped pulling, but the people of the Lei Guang Regiment did not move. Although he cursed in his mouth, he still returned to the camp and swallowed the fire back into his stomach.
Chen Xing's heart is also hateful, even if he stains his name, he thinks that he is not a good person, but Tie Nuo's life is bright and upright, and he is still splashed with dirty water like this when he dies, which is really infuriating. People who do this kind of thing are simply crazy, they can no longer be called human, they are completely animal behavior!
Just when everyone was angry, a voice resounded throughout the world.
"Today, on behalf of the White Tower Academy, I'm releasing two new universal skills to the world, which are Body Colossal and Steel Body."
"These two skills are the innate skills of Tie Nuo, the former leader of the Thunder Light Regiment, provided by him and perfected by the Skills Research Institute of the White Tower Academy."
"The hero is deceased, but his contribution to this world will never be erased!"
Ramsden's voice spread all over the world, and all rumors and slanders were self-defeating.
How can the person who speaks out personally and justifies his name be a criminal!
It is only the media of the Red Dragon Principality that spreads rumors, while Ramsden is aimed at the whole world. Whose word is more credible, even a three-year-old child knows.
The enraged people of the Red Dragon Principality took to the streets. They burned newspapers and magazines to protest against the media's smear of heroes.
The editors-in-chief of various tabloid magazines fled overnight, and several of them did not have time to escape, or the editor-in-chief who was recognized and arrested on the way was beaten by the people and their faces were swollen. Kneeling in front of people and weeping bitterly, regretting that he had not done the same.
However, these editors-in-chief are very professional, and no one has confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes, after all, it is easy to choose between being beaten and dying.
betrayed the eldest prince and eldest princess of the principality, not to mention whether anyone believes it, this life will definitely not be saved.
Immediately, the wind of their respective newspapers and magazines turned in one direction, and the slander to praise was seamlessly connected. Yesterday's newspapers on the ground were denouncing criminals, and today's front-page headlines are praising heroes.
Under Chen Xing's deliberate operation, Tienuo, Lei Guangtuan, and the Expeditionary Force were equated.
Countless young men who were overwhelmed by the blood rushed into the recruiting office and strongly demanded to join the expeditionary force.
The number of the expeditionary force swelled rapidly, and soon exceeded the 200,000 mark.
New puzzles have emerged. The budget for military spending was only 100,000 people, which was suddenly doubled, and the food and salary were not enough.
But people's enthusiasm could not be disappointed, and Chen Xing began to smash pots and sell iron, selling as much as he could to raise military expenses.
At this time, the gate lord families of Gray Corner City no longer swayed, and took out their inventory one after another to raise military funds for the expeditionary force.
Seeing such a grand occasion, Alia also proposed to allocate an additional 20,000 military expenses for the expeditionary force.
In addition, Hua Beidou also provided some support, and finally barely made up enough for the military expenditure in the first three months. The rest is to rely on war.
In the afternoon, Chen Xing stood on an abandoned high-rise building in Beiqiao Town, looking at the crowd of people below him.
When he was a little old, he also became a big man with heavy troops and a powerful party.
At the same time, he also felt a lot of pressure.
What he shoulders is everyone's expectations and everyone's dreams.
Tienuo's dream, Shen Guangming's dream, Ben Lei's dream......
He finally realized that with great power comes great responsibility. Because everyone believes in you, gives you their blood and life, and then goes to accomplish something earth-shattering.
The expeditionary force was already a large army group worthy of the name.
With 200,000 horses, the number of personnel has surpassed that of any group army of the Red Dragon Principality, and even if you look at the entire Ambergris River Valley, it has an advantage in numbers.
However, the biggest problem at the moment is the lack of high-end combat power.
The low-end combat power depends on the number of people, the mid-end combat power depends on the guard, and the high-end combat power depends on the Imperial Spirit.
The first two are solved, but the third party is missing.
Chen Xing, Jianyue Canglian, and Xiang Caidie all have imperial spirits, but none of them are really powerful and can control the imperial spirits.
This level of Imperial Spirit is either a secondary pseudo-god or a large siege-level Imperial Spirit.
Now that the personnel problem has been solved, the next step is to communicate with the undercurrent of time and space as soon as possible, incorporate the black pottery urn into the field, and then go to the shipwreck graveyard to find a warship that is enough to hit hard.
