Chapter 443: Public Opinion Warfare
It was about his father's reputation and the conspiracy secretly planned by some people, and Yavid adopted Lu Xiao's suggestion without saying a word.
The test results were "satisfactory", and the condemned prisoner, who had been eroded by an unknown energy, continued to scream in the palace garden.
After about 5 minutes, the screams of the condemned prisoner stopped, and his body seemed to be accustomed to the erosion of unknown energy, but his behavior became very strange.
Originally, the condemned prisoner had been begging Yavid for mercy, hoping to get the king's pardon.
After being completely eroded by unknown energy, the expression of the condemned prisoner changed many times, and he frantically wanted to kill Yavid and establish himself as king, and the thinking logic of the whole person had a serious problem.
"Enough!"
Yavid's chest heaved violently, and he had understood the real reason for his father's madness.
"Pull it down and give him a good time."
The effect of the red devouring energy was not conjectured by Lu Xiao alone, but the inference made by Alethea through scientific calculations, which was at least 60% accurate.
As it turned out, Altheia's inference was correct, and the source of Geelong's madness was this energy of unknown origin.
Now that the modus operandi has been proven, according to the current situation, the person who started it is about to come out.
Arvid, who had always been mild-mannered, clenched his fists and whispered two names through clenched teeth.
"Bahawa! Siris! ”
Bahawa was the former High Priest of the Cult of the Sun, and held a second highest level of power and status in the kingdom after the king.
After the fall of Geelong, Bahawa coerced the queen and the little prince to flee to Sunset Castle, declaring that the little prince Itamun was the legitimate heir to the throne, and he was the auxiliary to the [八一Chinese网 fo] to replace King Itamen.
…… To put it bluntly, it is to set up a puppet to exercise the emperor's authority by himself.
Prior to his rebellion, Siris was the chief military governor of the Kingdom of Calga, and the two men controlled the belief system and the military system, respectively.
If these two important ministers join forces to plot against Geelong, it is indeed possible to succeed, and the probability is not low.
Able to restore the pre-war stability of the Calga Kingdom in just two years, Arvid is by no means incompetent, and as a first-hand witness of what happened back then, he quickly pieced together all the clues and fragments.
However, it is one thing to know the truth, and it is another thing to be able to spare everything to take revenge on your father.
The Kingdom of Calgah was devastated by the turmoil of a few years ago, and has not yet recovered to its peak strength.
In contrast, Shadow Calga uses the brutal arena to take a lot of money from thrill-hungry aristocrats, and then put all that money into the military realm.
Although the comprehensive national strength of the two sides is not proportional, under the command of Siris, the military strength of Shadow Calgar is not much weaker than that of the Kingdom of Calga.
If the two sides fought, it would be difficult to say the final victory, and perhaps the civil war would attract the covetousness of the warlords of the Oseland main war, and Avid would not dare to give the order to go to war easily.
When Yavid's face was cloudy, Lu Xiao persuaded him: "King Yavid, don't be in a hurry. ”
"Now the Kingdom of Calga should first stabilize Oseran, completely remove the threat of Delva, and use his fate to deter the other warlords of the main warlords."
"Solidity in the rear will allow more troops to be used against Shadow Calga, perhaps...... I can say that the Nora people are helping Calga a little. ”
"Nora?"
Avid asked in surprise, "Are you sure?" The Nora people are notoriously repulsive to foreigners, and don't they swear never to leave their holy land? ”
"Well...... this"
Lu Xiao smiled mysteriously: "Normally, this is true, but what if the Mother of All Things suddenly orders them to go out to clear the metal demons?" ”
……
The more ignorant the social background, the stronger the role of religious belief will be.
Like the Nora, they believe in the existence of the Mother of All Things, and they will not hesitate to give orders from the Mother of All Things.
After Lu Xiao's analysis, their so-called mother of all things is actually Gaia's dull subprogram.
In the name of the "Mother of All Things", Alethea could have disguised herself and give an order for the Nora to leave the Holy Land and launch an expedition to join the Kingdom of Calga in their encirclement of the Shadow Calga and the Eclipse Cult.
But now is not the time.
The main Nora forces and military leaders are hunting down the Eclipse killers, and the Nora will not be able to send enough troops to join the war until they return to the Holy Land with their revenge.
Lu Xiao's solution made Yavid finally learn the truth about his father's madness and the real murderer behind it, and felt Lu Xiao's help twice in a row, Yavid decided to give him a set of real estate in Meridian City, and invited Lu Xiao to stay in Meridian City as his consultant.
Living in Orin's house all the time is not a long-term solution, Lu Xiao thought about it and accepted Yavid's gift, but politely declined his consultant's invitation.
"King Arvid, please forgive me."
Before leaving, Lu Xiao saluted Yavid: "I am a traveler, and I will not stay in one place for a long time. ”
"Until I destroy Calga the Shadow and find out who is hiding behind them, I will stand with the Kingdom of Calga, but when everything calms down, the traveler will set out on his journey again."
Yavid smiled relievedly: "Is it like a breeze blowing through the mountains and forests...... At least, until you leave, please do your best to help us, and I will seek justice and honor for my father. ”
After a hearty conversation with Yavid, Lu Xiao learned the beginning and end of the military coup d'état.
It was not Yavid himself who killed the mad king Geelong, but Alend, who couldn't stand Bahava's provocation and acted impulsively.
Whoever shot it was, Bahawa would not let go of this great opportunity to discredit Yavid.
He coerced the queen and the little prince Itamon into escaping Meridian City, spreading rumors of Arvid's murder along the way.
Avid tries to set the record straight after stabilizing the situation in Meridian City, but preconceived notions are implanted in the minds of many Calgar people, and it is difficult to change people's stereotypes through pale language.
For more than two years, Yavid has been charged with killing his father.
The truth of Geelong's madness is a hammer blow to Bahawa and Siris, and as long as it can be proved in front of the eyes of the subjects of Meridian City, the legitimacy that Bahawa has been claiming will be meaningless.
These issues of political struggle are not something that Lu Xiao needs to consider, Yavid's goals are the same as Lu Xiao's, and he doesn't mind helping the Sun King put on a good show in Meridian City.
There is no news from Elsa for the time being, although Yavid is very worried, but under Lu Xiao's persuasion, he temporarily suppressed his anxious emotions and focused on announcing the truth.
Meridian City Square.
With Lu Xiao's cooperation, the residents of Meridian City and the princes and nobles who were summoned by Yavid witnessed the tragic situation of another condemned prisoner.
The truth of the madness of the mad king Geelong caused a stir in Meridian City and even the entire Calga Kingdom in a short period of time.
As a prince who was already in power at the time, Yavid had a lot of records of the whereabouts of Bahawa and Siris.
Avid has been restrained since his accession to the throne, and this time he finally unequivocally accused Bahawa and Siris of being kingkillers, traitors, and the culprits of the Red Eater, the common enemy of all mankind.
The truth of the year soon reached Sunset Castle, and a sudden turn of events caused Bahawa and Shadow Karga to be in turmoil.
The public opinion war between the two sides has officially entered a white-hot heat.
