Chapter 575: The Arrival of the City Lord
Just looking at this scene, if you don't know if people have seen it, they still think that the anti-war faction in Linhu City is more powerful than the main battle faction.
"No war, no peace!"
Listening to this, even Lin Xiaoer, who was beside Luo Hou, involuntarily raised his arms and shouted loudly.
Luo Hou couldn't help but groan in his heart, since ancient times, this kind of opposition voice launched by the weak in the form of rallies or demonstrations is useless.
If it is useful to shout slogans of opposition, then what do you need to do with violent institutions such as the army?
Therefore, for the anti-war rally initiated by Guo Haoran and Guo Vice Cheng, Luo Hou is basically not very optimistic in his heart.
What's more, compared to Wu Shenggong, the city lord who supported the war, Guo Haoran, the city lord, has the word "deputy" in front of him, and the strength behind him is far inferior to Wu Shenggong, if you want to persuade those people to give up the idea of going to war, it is almost tantamount to a fool's dream.
However, this is probably Guo Haoran's helpless move, because the strength of the two sides is too far apart, and the people in Linhu City who support the war account for a large proportion, and he really can't forcibly prevent the war from happening through violent means.
After Guo Haoran's speech, several evolutionaries who occupied a certain position in Linhu City came to the stage to speak, although the content was different, but the general meaning was no different, nothing more than not supporting the war, I hope everyone can calm down and not be deceived by some superficial things.
It seems that there are not no smart people in this lakeside city, and obviously many people know that behind those assassinations, it will not be so simple.
However, because the forces supporting the warring side have an absolute advantage, it is useless to say anything. Unless someone can have clear evidence that someone is behind this, then it may be possible to pull back the fanatical evolutionaries and let the clouds of war dissipate once and for all.
Originally, Luo Hou wanted to tell Lin Xiaoerming that he didn't have to enter so seriously. Anyway, it is almost impossible to prevent the war from happening by getting together and shouting a few voices.
Perhaps, even Guo Haoran and Deputy City Lord Guo himself have no bottom in their hearts about whether they can prevent the outbreak of war. The reason why Deputy City Lord Guo still persistently gathered a group of people here to resolutely fight against the war is probably not simply to oppose for the sake of opposition.
Because no matter whether the war broke out as scheduled or not, Guo Haoran was able to earn a lot of prestige through this matter, which was conducive to the consolidation of his position in the city.
Of course, this is just Luo Hou's unilateral speculation, as for the truth. No one but the person concerned can understand.
Therefore, when he saw Lin Xiaoer shouting anti-war slogans with a serious face, Luo Hou's words of persuasion that he was about to say were swallowed back into his stomach and did not say it.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more enthusiastic, as if everyone had succeeded in preventing the final outbreak of war through such a rally.
However, the next moment, there was a sudden commotion at the northern edge of the square. attracted the attraction of the crowd to the past, and then Luo Hou and Lin Xiaoer, who were in the center, heard the sound from the crowd outside.
"Ahh It's the city lord of Wu who is here! ”
"Look, everyone, City Lord Wu is also coming to our rally, has he changed his mind, and finally seen the facts, and no longer supports the initiation of the war?"
"Let's go, Wu Cheng will go to the center of the square!"
I heard that Wu Shenggong, the city lord of Linhu City, had arrived in person. Many people wanted to crowd over there to see what this legendary city lord of Linhu City looked like.
Of course, more people were actually guessing in their hearts what the city lord of Wu meant by coming here.
You know, since that series of assassinations. The Lord of Wu was the most determined of the officials to wage war against the forces of the surviving cities to the north and west.
So, when Guo Haoran and Guo Vice Cheng launched an anti-war rally here, Wu Shenggong and Wu City Lord came here in person, what did he want to do?
The answer is already coming out, it's nothing more than to smash the field, hoping to unify the voices of the entire Linhu City before the war starts, otherwise it will be too funny if the two survivor city forces have not yet begun to attack the two survivor city forces, but their own backyard suddenly catches fire.
"Ah, why is the City Lord Wu here too?"
Looking at the riots in the crowd, listening to the constant noise and roaring of the crowd over there, Lin Xiaoer's face couldn't help but be on one side, it seems that today's rally will not have any good effect, Wu Shenggong City Lord is in person, and he will definitely try his best to persuade everyone to put down the idea of opposing the war and unanimously to the outside world.
In the big city with a population of nearly 10 million, there are obviously not many people who have seen the city lord of Wu, so when they heard the news of the arrival of the city lord of Wu Shenggong in person, everyone stretched their necks and looked in the direction of the north, hoping to see the true face of the city lord of Wu from the crowd.
Luo Hou and Lin Xiaoer were no exception, and they also looked towards the north in the crowd.
It's a pity that the crowd is too crowded, and as far as the eye can see, you can only see the heads that are densely packed together, where can you see Wu Shenggong's figure.
Fortunately, since Wu Shenggong has come here in person, he will definitely go to the high platform in the center of the square later, and everyone will be able to clearly see the appearance of this city lord at that time.
Lin Xiaoer's face was already full of disappointment, and he shook his head secretly, he no longer had the slightest hope of opposing the war, no matter what, Wu Shenggong City Lord was in person, and he would definitely be able to persuade most people to agree with his main battle proposition.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoer no longer had the slightest desire to see what Wu Shenggong's city lord looked like next, so he drooped his head and turned around, preparing to squeeze through the crowd and leave the main square near the lake.
"Well, why are you going, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Seeing Lin Xiaoer's disgraced expression and ready to leave, Luo Hou hurriedly grabbed him.
"Go back, why are you staying here?" Lin Xiaoer's expression was decadent, and he had already predicted that when the war started, his life would fall into chaos again, and he might embark on a journey of displacement again.
Luo Hou grabbed Lin Xiaoer, and said with the same expression on his face:
"Wait and see, we're here anyway, let's see what this legendary lord of the city looks like, right?"
What Luo Hou means is that they have already come here anyway, and they are not busy leaving, so it is good to see what kind of person this Wu Shenggong is like.
Luo Hou didn't understand a little, as the city lord of a large survivor city, it is said that Wu Shenggong should consider most of the survivors, in the face of such a serious matter, even if he is inclined to start a war, he should be cautious, and he should not be the first to stand up and express his support for starting a war in such a hurry, right?
No matter what, he, Wu Shenggong, as the city lord of such a huge survivor city, should not want to see his territory suffer any unnecessary losses.
In this apocalypse, the monster and zombie resources around each settlement can make the number of evolutionaries who are not too many inexhaustible, so why do you want to start a war against other survivor cities?
Even if you win, you must lose a lot in the end, and I'm afraid that what you gain may not be able to make up for the loss, right?
was pulled by Luo Hou, Lin Xiaoer didn't say that he wanted to leave, but he was not interested in the city lord Wu Shenggong and the others who were getting closer and closer in front of him, and he didn't bother to look up at all.
Luo Hou didn't look up either, anyway, after a while, this Wu Shenggong Wu City Lord would definitely come on stage and say something, and then he would naturally be able to see what this person looked like.
The most important thing is that now the distance between the two sides is so far away, Luo Hou can't see it even if he wants to.
When the city lord arrived, the people in the square, although they were dissatisfied with his idea of starting a war, respectfully moved out of the way, and let Wu Shenggong and his group of subordinates walk towards the high platform in the center of the large square near the lake.
When Wu Shenggong and his entourage finally came to the high platform in the center, Luo Hou finally saw what this person in charge of a huge survivor city with a population of nearly 10 million looked like.
Wu Shenggong, who walked to the high platform, was not tall, wearing a decent black armor, his figure was a little thin, and his facial features were quite good, but his eyes were slightly smaller.
These are not the point, the point is that the age of this Wu Shenggong Wu City Lord does not seem to be very old, at most twenty-six or seventeen years old, but at this time, he is already an evolutionary in the late stage of the Heavenly Order, plus he has been in a high position for a long time, and he naturally has a strong aura of a formidable superior on his body.
Luo Hou's eyes were very good, although he was almost a hundred meters away, he could still clearly see that the expression on the face of the deputy city lord Guo Haoran was not very good-looking after Wu Shenggong arrived.
Think about it, whoever worked hard to hold a rally and wanted to go against the lead singer in the city, but the other party suddenly came halfway without scruples, which must be very ugly.
Yes, for Wu Shenggong's arrival, Guo Haoran just nodded at the other party expressionlessly, even if he said hello, he didn't care about those superficial articles at all.
Wu Shenggong's self-cultivation is very good, for Guo Haoran's rude behavior, he can't see it at all, and he nodded at Guo Haoran very friendly, which makes Guo Haoran feel powerful and nowhere to go.
Wu Shenggong didn't care about Guo Haoran's faux pas, but the subordinates behind Wu Shenggong disagreed.
"Deputy City Lord Guo, why don't you salute when you see the city lord coming?"
It was a young man behind Wu Shenggong who spoke, his face was a little mean, but his strength was definitely not bad, and he was the same as Guo Haoran, he had the strength of the early stage of the Heavenly Order. (To be continued......)
