Chapter 353: Pre-War Mobilization

There have been many big things happening in the Maple Leaf Kingdom recently, and one of the most shocking news has spread throughout the country overnight in a sweeping manner.

On the first morning of the cold winter, the royal family officially issued a proclamation - the twelve families of the Maple Leaf Kingdom and their subordinate nobles betrayed the kingdom, desecrated the glory, fled from the battle, and disturbed the morale of the army! Under the witness of the supreme god of justice, Tyr, these unforgivable and shameless people have all been executed by the holy and righteous protector general Jonny Zodas, and all the nobles involved in the case have been deprived of all titles, deprived of all property, deprived of all private troops, and deprived of any form of pardon!

This announcement can really be described as a thunderbolt out of thin air, and all the ordinary little nobles who only blew it up were faint and honestly frightened.

For a kingdom, such a purge is equivalent to a change of blood in ninety percent of the ruling class overnight, and the demise of the twelve ancient nobles puts everyone in danger of the remaining minor nobles in the country.

You must know that these twelve families are the oldest nobles in the kingdom, and each family has huge power and wealth in their own territory, but overnight, these originally high-ranking big people were all slaughtered, and this decisive violent method completely shocked all the remaining small lords.

It is precisely because of this deterrence that even if such a big thing happened in the kingdom, the remaining nobles and merchants still wisely kept silent, watching the holy warrior army of the Zodas family absorb the wealth and private army that originally belonged to the twelve families, but no one in the whole country dared to jump out and say a word of doubt, let alone take the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Soon, however, the affairs of the nobility came to an end in the silence of the whole country, and the secondary reason was that these things were of little significance to the poor people who made up the main body of the kingdom, and the inside story of the fall of the twelve families was too far away from the poor people.

As for the main reason............ A more frightening, even greater scale, and of every pauper, and of every nobleman, appeared............

Pestilence!

Plague, famine, and war, these are the three major terrifying disasters that befall the legendary powerhouse in the cruel world of Faeron, and any of them have the ability to destroy a country, but at this time, in the sad country of the Maple Leaf Kingdom, all three disasters have arrived.

So, what are the poor people like in the face of such a terrible disaster?

Oakes, who is leading the Guards on the mission of "Glory Mobilization", has personally witnessed the catastrophic helpless poor with his own eyes!

In fact, at first, Oakes was very worried that the poor people would riot when they heard the news of such famine and plague, and in order to maintain order, he also brought a bunch of guards to deter the gathered poor people.

But soon, Oakes knew he was overthinking.

When he stood on the high platform at the gate of the city of Charm Maple Blossom covered with ice and snow, he was confronted with five or six thousand thin bodies with dull eyes, and when he said with a heavy heart the news that "famine is coming" and "the plague has spread", these more than five thousand poor people in ragged clothes only whispered a few words before regaining their quiet, or rather, ...... Dead silence was restored.

In the eyes of all the poor people present, Oakes saw the hollow of despair, the godless pupils were cloudier than the other, and the gray faces showing signs of infection showed only unchanging sadness as if they had been carved and inlayed, whether it was the old people or children in the crowd, they all had the same desperate expressions, and their eyes when they looked at Oakes were also dull, like ......... A corpse with a soul drained of its soul is as muddy as a corpse.

"Alas, let's hope that the "hope" on the mobilization order will wake up these wretched people."

Oakes didn't look at the dead eyes again, he lowered his head silently, and then opened the delicate parchment in his hand while thinking a little helplessly.

"Ahem, now, I-Oaks-Zodath declares the Glorious War Mobilization Announcement in the name of His Majesty the King of the Maple Leaf Kingdom!

Due to the treason of the twelve nobles and the despicable trade monopoly of the Dragonroar Kingdom, the Maple Leaf Kingdom's reserve food is not enough to support the winter, and at the same time, the plague spread by the black dragon "Ovacin-Sour Throat", which is suspected to be the despicable ruler of the Dragon's Roar Kingdom, has spread, and the kingdom's medical reserves are also not enough to support the treatment of diseases, so His Majesty the Great and Wise King, sympathetic to the will of the people, decided to launch a glorious war against the Dragonroar Kingdom, and anyone who is willing to fight for the Maple Leaf Kingdom is allowed to become a member of the Glory Army, and............”

Speaking of which, Oaks suddenly raised his voice drastically.

"In this war, all soldiers participating in the war have the right to "retrieve" any food and medicine that was vilely stolen by the Dragon's Roar Kingdom, any soldier's "retrieval" finances in the Dragon's Roar Kingdom belong to the soldiers themselves, and any soldier's land "recovered" in the Dragon's Roar Kingdom can be exempted from taxes for five years"!

After reading the most important part of the bulletin in one sitting, Oakes looked up at the poor once more.

A cold wind swept through the cracks in Oaks' iron armor, and the whistling wind became louder and louder in the quiet city gatehouse.

"Big ...... My lord...... The Dragon's Roar Kingdom is really ...... Is there really food and medicine?"

The silence among the paupers lasted for a long time, until Oakes stood silently on the high platform for more than ten seconds, and then a pauper asked a question trembling with a green glow in his eyes.

Quietly avoiding the poor wolf's hungry wolf-like gaze, Oakes took a deep breath and said loudly as the punk commanded:

"I can guarantee that every household in the Dragon Roar Kingdom has piles of Ququ wheat and pig meat plundered from the Maple Leaf Kingdom, and every despicable half-dragon is used to putting a dozen bottles of holy water at home that can cure any disease, as long as we return to the homeland that originally belonged to us, we will get endless food, and the plague can be easily cured"!

I have to say that Oakes' acting skills are really worse than punk, and when he said this paragraph, the words that should have been passionate and passionate became nondescript under Oakes' recitation.

But this is also something that can't be helped, Oakes doesn't even feel like he can raise his head when he says these things, as a full-level holy knight, he knows very well that the above words are all foolish nonsense, but...... For the sake of the Great Glory War, he had to pretend that all those nonsense were unquestionable truths......

"The foolish people are not able to grasp the great glory, and this is a necessary step to lead them to glory, I ...... is just"!

Holding back the guilt of turning and running, Oakes forced a stiff smile to look at the paupers whose eyes were starting to turn green.

"For justice, for the Maple Kingdom, for ...... Unsullied glory, war...... Here we go"!
