There was silence at the scene, and everyone was immersed in deep shock, as did the independent leaders on the stage.

Is there a so-called "Anti-Secession Law for Condominium Areas" in a co-governed area like Dawn City? Yes, and it's a statute.

But the problem is that in the past two years, the federal government itself has begun to gradually ignore the anti-secession law, and secretly collude with the civil separatist forces, not to mention anything else, the independence leader himself is secretly supported by the Grand Duke's Office of Invid, constantly guiding separatist sentiments among the people, and last week received more than 10 million funds from the Grand Duke's Office.

The federal government's means of secretly leading the division of the condominium regions are simple: first, politically discrediting the Red Blood Empire, promoting it as a closed and backward dictatorship, and glorifying the three-year war of aggression in Honkai, which is called the War of Freedom and Liberation.

Secondly, the local residents were given great preferential treatment in terms of material, erecting a wall of life to isolate the wilderness, and greatly building restaurants, taverns, gladiatorial arenas and other livelihood facilities to provide a comfortable living environment and raise their living threshold.

Immediately afterward, there was a lot of brainwashing propaganda to tell them about the difference between their lives in the Federation and those in the Empire.

Eventually, when the people's sentiment for independence grew stronger and matured, they bypassed the anti-secession law and held an independence referendum to separate the city from the imperial jurisdiction and formally incorporate it into the federal territory.

This is a very simple principle, which can be summed up in one sentence: from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift. Will the people who have enjoyed the bread and honey, the wall of life, and the blood and sand of the arena be willing to return to the empire, where the level of life is significantly lowered? There may be some hard-core people who will, but by no means the majority.

In Dawn City, the first three steps of independence and secession have been completed, political smearing, material preferential treatment, and brainwashing propaganda have all been completed, and more than 90% of the people have agreed with the phrase "the glory of the federation, the shame of the empire", and only the final rendering is needed to hold an independence referendum.

However, no one expected that in this crucial last step, it was not the imperial forces that prevented the split, but the Grand Duchy of Invid, which once supported all this?!

The independent leader was completely dumbfounded, and the whole person hadn't come back to his senses, so he could only say with a smile: "No, Fellow Federation Masters, we are here..."

"By the order of the Grand Duke, you will be arrested, otherwise I have the right to shoot you on the spot!" The Grand Guard Captain was not joking at all, he directly pulled the bolt of the gun, aimed the pitch-black muzzle at the head of the independent leader, and the war horse under him also let out a murderous neigh.

The independent leader realized that something was wrong and didn't dare to speak anymore, so he knelt directly on the ground with his head in his hands.

The captain of the guard glanced at his companions, and the two soldiers dismounted, pushed aside the suspicious crowd, and with ease tied the hands of the independent leader, dragged him and threw him on horseback.

The captain of the guard glanced at the cloudy and uncertain crowd, opened a piece of parchment printed with the logo of the Inved family, and said in a loud voice: "It is hereby announced that the statement of the anti-secession law of the Grand Duke's Mansion of Invid will be cracked down on in Dawn City from now on, and independent slogans shall not be posted in all public places!" Any statement of independence is illegal! Any undeclared gathering of more than 20 people is illegal! Any provocation against the anti-secession law is illegal! Neighbors can supervise and report each other, violators will be arrested by the Grand Public Guard, and those who resist will be shot on the spot! ”

A bold young man was a little unconvinced, and under the mood of brainwashing propaganda, he was enthusiastic and shouted: "Why is this! We have the right to pursue freedom! We want to see the Grand Duke and let him give an explanation! ”

When all the Grand Guard soldiers heard this, their faces sank and their eyes fluttered.

Grand duke...

...

Archduke Invid's condition was very bad, his illness was getting worse and worse, at first it was only a minor illness, at most a cough, but it didn't take long for him to start having a fever and being weak.

The medical officer originally diagnosed it as just a case of typhoid fever, but it was useless to prescribe various antibiotics, for which several medical officers were shot, and later the cube medical supplies airlifted by special plane to alleviate the Grand Duke's condition, but it is very strange that the Grand Duke's condition relapsed not long after his condition improved, and it continued to recur.

When all kinds of treatments failed, the doctors realized that maybe it was not a simple disease, but an aging that everyone would face.

The Grand Duke is almost 80 years old this year, and those drugs that work on young warriors are less than 5% effective on the elderly, and they can continue to extend the life of the Grand Duke through expensive cube drugs, maybe allowing him to live another 5 to 10 years, but the aging of age is incurable, and a person will grow old and die.

This was originally nothing, at the age of the Grand Duke of Invid, he had long looked down on aging, and he could face it very calmly, however, he was very ill at an inappropriate time, and all kinds of urgent business broke out at this juncture, and Adam was still lobbying at the Rim Theater Command, and he had no one to rely on, so he had to carry his seriously ill body overtime.

"Ahem, ahem," Grand Duke Invid covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughing and panting, so much so that the signatures on the documents were crooked.

Zisu, who was taking care of the Grand Duke on the side, took the handkerchief, and when she saw the scarlet marks on it, Zi Su panicked and realized that the Grand Duke's health was very bad, but in order not to worry the Grand Duke, she quietly put the handkerchief into the basin, washed off the coughed blood, prepared a new handkerchief for the Grand Duke, and at the same time advised softly: "Grand Duke, you haven't closed your eyes all night, so let's rest for a while." ”

The Grand Duke shook his head, continued to review the documents, and muttered: "I can't rest, Luo Wei is coming tomorrow, I have to 'tidy up' Dawn City, there are some things that he can't see well." ”

Zi Su mistakenly thought that Grand Duke Invede was talking about hygiene and other issues, so he persuaded: "Grand Duke, Luo Wei won't care about this. ”

Grand Duke Invid has read countless people, and he knew at once that Zisu didn't understand the meaning of his words, and he didn't continue the topic, but said silently: "Zisu, I've been pretty good to you in the past two years, right?" ”

In all fairness, after the Grand Duke of Invid replaced the Marquis of Charles as the ruler of Dawn City, Shisu has never been bullied again, so whether this is Grand Duke Invid's ploy to win over people's hearts, or something else, at least at this point Shisu is very grateful to the Grand Duke, she bowed her body and said sincerely: "The Grand Duke has been very good to me in the past two years, and Shisu must be remembered in his heart." ”

The older a person, the more a person who is not far from death, the more he likes to talk to people, and no one wants to take his city to the grave.

Grand Duke Invid shook his head with a wry smile, and said with a sigh: "If you are smart enough, you should have guessed that I am good to you because you have a close relationship with Luo Wei, and I want to get closer to him through your gifts." ”

Shisu's heart accelerated after hearing this, but he didn't expect his mind to be seen through, so he could only lower his head and listen to the fall.

"But there is one thing, I want to tell you that when I said that I wanted to accept you as a righteous daughter, in addition to wanting to have a nepotism with Luo Wei, I also had my own intention." After reading a document, Grand Duke Inveid propped himself up in his chair with both hands, sat up straighter, looked at Shisu and smiled deeply, "Maybe it's because of the influence of the commander-in-chief, I've always wanted a daughter, and I hope she can be as good as Brigadier General Novena." Later, I heard that in the 7th year of the Honkai Dawn Defense, you stabbed the nobles of the Federation in order to protect your sister, and I, as the Grand Duke of the Federation, did not anger at all, but appreciated, you are a good girl, very brave. ”

Halfway through his speech, the smile slowly disappeared, and he shook his head helplessly, muttering to himself: "Hey, but what's the use of talking now, I'm not far from death... Cough! Ahem, ahem..."

Seeing that the Grand Duke of Invede began to cough violently again, and coughed up a lot of blood, Shiso's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pat the Grand Duke on the back, and at the same time shouted anxiously: "Someone! Come on! ”

The door was soon opened, but it was not the medical officer who entered, but Patch, who saw that the Grand Duke of Invid vomited blood, and suddenly looked stunned, and cried and pounced: "Father!! ”
