Volume 7 The Ferryman of the River Styx Chapter 15 Withdrawing Troops?

Chapter 206: Withdrawal?

"Actually, we like the design of this puppet very much, as long as the core part of the power is wrapped in dark gold, then we can directly use the shadow energy to charge the core!"

Luo Weier said very embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter who uses this thing, now it's just prototypes, the key is to have one thing!"

Wang Wei pointed to another piece of tattered drawings and parts that had been thrown aside.

"If that thing is put on top of this, that's the real thing. ”

Wang Wei put his arms around Luo Weier's neck and whispered, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

"Rest assured, my master. ”

Lovel grinned and pointed to the two card slots on the golem's shoulders.

"Look, it's all reserved, as long as the technical difficulties over there are solved, integration is not a problem at all!"

Isaac had withdrawn his troops from the border, but the Four-Nation Coalition showed no signs of leaving, so some rumors began to spread widely in the territory of the three countries, although there were various versions of the rumors, but there was only one substance, that is, the coalition forces were not actually there to help the three countries out of the situation. Rather, it was an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to wage a bloodless war and to take the fertile lands of the three countries for themselves.

These rumors have noses and eyes, as if they are really like that. Moreover, among the four countries stationed in the army, only the Empire of Alexandre Dumas was able to produce food and was self-sufficient, and although Verne and Hugo were large countries, they were both landlocked and mountainous countries. Although it is not known whether it was the Ancient Arena or the Gray Dragon Mountains that caused the drought in the two countries, it is an indisputable fact that the two countries have always relied on imported grain to survive. Moreover, a large part of the imported grain comes from the three countries along the Huilong River.

The three countries occupy a large amount of fertile land, but they are sparsely populated. Years of conquest have left their population very small, and although the war has ceased for many years, as the last country on the continent to disappear from the war, the population is not a short hundred years to recover. The population is small and the land is abundant, so food has become their main production.

Although rumors are just rumors, if they spread more, they will become reality. Moreover, in addition, the four-nation coalition army, which has always regarded itself as a superior person, did not take those three countries into account at all, and people complained everywhere the coalition army went. Most of the food in the homes of ordinary people was forcibly requisitioned by the coalition forces as military rations, and in the name of helping to defend against the enemy. The army did not pay attention when passing by the fields of ordinary peasants, and a large amount of farmland was destroyed, and the people dared not speak out. Later, it was reported that some soldiers of the coalition army went to the farmers' homes to steal food, and even raped them. And some peasants were killed by the officers of the coalition army because they did not cooperate with the coalition army to deliver grain. As a result, more rumors began to intensify in China, and finally broke out of control. The common people of several counties and counties organized themselves into fierce clashes with the coalition forces, but what happened to the peasants and the opponents of the soldiers? At least 200 people died in the clashes, and all of them were peasants.

The anger of the three kingdoms against the allied forces rose to the extreme in just one month! Some peasants, unable to compete with the allied forces, simply united and went to the imperial city, and all sat quietly in front of the palace to express their dissatisfaction. They did not eat or drink, and soon some seriously ill people died outside the palace.

The whole country was in chaos, in the midst of boiling emotions, and no one noticed why rumors spread so quickly in a country where transportation was so inconvenient.

So, it was originally just a rumor, but now with the boiling atrocities of the coalition army, the emperors of the Three Kingdoms finally knew that if this group of foreign lords continued like this, the country would have a big fork.

As for the fact that such a thing happened to their own armies, the emperors of the four countries said that it was absolutely impossible to happen. But hundreds of lives were lying at the gates of the palace, and the enraged peasants were now almost ready to lay siege to the incompetent palace. The emperors of the three countries also expressed their confusion that the coalition would do such a thing, and while trying their best to appease the peasants, they also kept communicating with the coalition forces. Finally, the peasants agreed to hand over the murderers within the coalition forces and gave the peasants a satisfactory answer. But on the way back to their homes, the peasants of the Imperial City were ambushed! Most of them died, but a few survived, struggling to return to their homeland and tell the whole world the news.

They were retaliated against by the coalition forces! The coalition forces wanted to slaughter them all in order to prevent them from continuing to complain!

It is no longer known who was the first to publish the news, but in short, the news quickly swept everyone's ears almost as soon as a typhoon passed through.

And the whole continent is in an uproar.

Under the banner of helping to resist aggression, this handle was suddenly seized by the Tolkien Empire. Tolkien began to make a big fuss in the Far Mountains Council, and public opinion was largely inclined to label Verne and Hugo as invaders at the same time, and their bloody and cruel practices and their lack of regard for the lives of the people of the other country attracted unanimous condemnation from international public opinion. And Tolkien even made it clear that if the Four-Nation Coalition did not withdraw its troops from there and return home, and quickly compensate the other country. Then Tolkien will push for sanctions against the four countries in the Far Hills Council!

Hugo and Verne were not the newly rising Isaac, and as an equally established nation, they definitely did not have the courage to directly resist the sanctions, because the promoters of the sanctions were the Tolkien Empire, one of the founding states of the Council of the Far Mountains. That's simply not affordable for two landlocked countries!

The coalition forces, which had no reason to stay any longer, did not even fight a single battle, but instead got into a lawsuit. And the emperors of the four countries were even more furious, such a large-scale march ended in such an end, which no one could afford. But in any case, the withdrawal of troops is a must.

After ordering the withdrawal of the army, Emperor Hugo was very puzzled, the news sent back by the spy from Isaac was indeed that Isaac was gathering troops in order to attack neighboring countries, and from the actual situation, after Isaac gathered 300,000 troops, the other two territories also had a certain amount of army gathering, but the final result was not like this. What the hell did Isaac want to do? Just to play himself, he mobilized 300,000 troops to toss back and forth by the river!?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Emperor Hugo did not believe that Isaac would count it like this. Moreover, the results of the self-examination of the coalition forces also show that what happened in the territory of the three countries is far from so simple.

At first, of course, the forcible requisition of grain happened, but it was far less serious than the legend suggested. It was the officers of the coalition forces who made demands on the local village officials, who then demanded that the farmers pay grain. Although some farmers were reluctant, there were basically no major ups and downs under the deterrence of the army. There is no way to deny that the army trampled on the farmland, but under the coercion of some local officials, it seems that the peasants did not have any ups and downs. But then came rumors spread all over the land, according to military statistics, the first places where these rumors first rose were on the side of the border, and many of them were places where there were no forced seizures.

But what happened later is intriguing.

In some localities, there were incidents in which peasants jointly stormed the barracks and forcibly snatched military rations. In this timid country, this kind of thing will definitely be suppressed by the village officials, and later investigations also found that the original village officials of those villages have disappeared, and have been replaced by some agitated villagers, and most of them are young people. In the midst of the conflict, there were deaths among the villagers, but according to the information from the survey, there were definitely not as many people as the rumors said, and it was not everywhere in the three countries, only a small part. Later, the situation of those villagers organizing to go to the imperial city to file a complaint was even more strange. When it came time to investigate, the villagers didn't even know who organized them in the first place!

As for the so-called massacre of the accusers by the coalition forces later, it was even more illusory, and it did not happen at all, but the surviving villagers swore that it was definitely done by the coalition forces.

Emperor Hugo discovered that there was a shadow of a man behind the whole thing. Once this kind of inexplicable thing happens, he doesn't even do what he thinks at all, it is definitely the man who is secretly doing ghosts.

But now the international situation does not allow them to argue anymore, after all, they are in the quagmire in other people's countries, and Isaac, whom they have been denouncing, has already become an honest man!

Despite the reluctance, the withdrawal was a foregone conclusion. But Emperor Hugo did not understand that what that man had worked so hard to hope for was only to cast a layer of dust on his international image at this time? It was simply meaningless, which country on this continent had not grown up from aggression? Which country had not been forged by iron and blood to its present glory?

As long as their international status remains, as long as their interests with other countries remain, no country can do anything to them!
