The buzzing discussion sounded, and the city gate was like a large gathering in the countryside for a while, and everyone's voices were not small, but they were too complicated to hear a complete sentence at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Leonel still looks calm and clear, his self-confidence seems to come from the heart, any situation seems to be in his control, Luya has to admire, he is ashamed of this self-cultivation.

Leonel on the city wall suddenly stretched out his hand and made a quiet gesture, and the noisy crowd quieted down again, and with a slight smile, Leonel spoke again.

"I don't want you to end up like this, but if I don't do this, then in the future, when other city-states in my Mickey Kingdom encounter this situation, everyone scatters and flees for their lives, so what is the future of the kingdom, maybe you will say that the enemy needs soldiers to guard it has nothing to do with you, but where do the soldiers come from, aren't they all from between you and me, what are they guarding? Isn't it still the family behind you and the land under your feet, isn't it still us! They shed their blood for us is our reliance, the same, we are also their solid backing, today you are all gone, the front-line soldiers have no support in their hearts, just ask, even their most solid backing abandoned them, what heart do they have to fight to the death, everyone gives up resistance to be slaughtered, in the end where is there a kingdom, where is there a home?"

"Now that I have only heard a little rumor, I haven't even figured out the facts, and most of the people in the city are going to flee for their lives, so if the day comes when the enemy attacks the city, won't you all have to help others open the city gates!"

"You've disappointed me so much"

Ruya had to admit that Leonel's words were beautiful, but in his opinion, they were just beautiful, and the people's reaction was right. Although Luya has not experienced this situation, it does not mean that he does not know. In the past few wars in Black Rock City, it has always been the soldiers who have worked hard to unite the hearts of the people, and this kind of bad situation has never happened, but the situation in Black Rock City is completely different from here, and there is no comparison between the two sides.

Ants are still stealing life, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the idea of all normal people, for those in power, there is no need to be afraid of ideas, what is afraid is that there are ideas but can not be stopped, at this point, the ancient Chinese feudal dynasty did a good job, at least like this kind of thing to flee out of the city will never happen, in Lu Ya's view, the main reason for this difference is because the kingdom is too loose for private armed forces.

Like the ordinary people in ancient China, privately possessing weapons and private warriors is a capital crime of killing the head, even in modern society, if you secretly possess firearms, controlled knives and knives are also serious crimes. Generations of kings have been baptized with blood and fire to understand the importance of the 'foolish people', and they are also very aware of the devastating blows that can be brought to their own dynasties if private armies are overflowing.

And on this continent, Lu Ya was surprised to find that those in power didn't seem to realize it at all, or didn't care about this kind of thing at all, Lu Ya didn't believe that the starting point of those who were in power was to hide soldiers from the people, and the only thing that could explain this was that they were also forced to do so.

The harsh living environment and backward production level have promoted the development of these private armies, the bosses of the chambers of commerce and those noble lords need private armies to protect and transport their property, so many chambers of commerce and trade route kingdoms obviously cannot equip each of their caravans with an army, when encountering accidents and poisonous snakes and beasts, they can only rely on their own strength to solve it.

"Maybe the rulers of the kingdom were forced to make this choice out of desperation," Lu Ya thought to himself, but he didn't seem to have heard of any rebellions and strife for being able to keep the kingdom under such loose military control for so long, and he didn't seem to have heard of any rebellions and strife.

Regardless, what happened this time also revealed the drawbacks of this policy of not restricting private soldiers.

Everybody is armed, and in this case, when people are gathered together for the same purpose, then no one should be underestimated.

This is the case with the confrontation at the city gate at this moment, if these guys under the city are armed now, then they only need to get a few to come up and kill the chickens and monkeys, but when everyone has knives in their hands, even if they are some rabble who do not cooperate, no one dares to move, this laurel city is full of narrow alleys, once the fire is caused, one by one they all hide in the alley, the tragic street battle Ruya can't help but be a thrill when he thinks of it.

Thinking of this, Lu Ya couldn't help but have a trace of sympathy in his eyes when he looked at Leonel on the city gate again, and when the foreign enemy was on the side, he had to find a way to pacify the rear, it seemed that he, the city lord, was not so easy to be.

But everyone is not stupid, you just stand on the head of the city and say a few words to let everyone disband, go home, wash and sleep, this is obviously impossible. The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the world is for profit. Especially those merchants and aristocratic lords, how could they give in if they didn't see tangible benefits.

Sure enough, after some words, a smile appeared on Leonel's originally serious face on the city wall again, and then he spoke again.

"Of course, if it really comes to the point where something can't be done, I won't let everyone go up to die, leaving everyone to be buried together is definitely not what I want Leonel wants, on the contrary, I will not let you be hurt by leaving everyone this time, but if you cooperate, it can also bring you some benefits"

The scene was a little deserted, and the words just now did not seem to have received the response they deserved, and countless people looked at Leonel with questioning eyes, obviously everyone did not believe that there would be any benefit.

"Hehe, I know you don't believe it, but I have two letters here, one is the front-line battle situation sent by the kingdom, and the other is the information I sent to reconnoiter several times yesterday, hehe, I will tell you about the situation first, you can check these two new reports for yourself later"

Shaking the two letters in his hand, Leonel nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the crowd who were curious about him, and then said aloud.

"The new newspaper from the kingdom said that a group of black-robed thieves who were ready to plunder Yecheng were jointly intercepted and killed by our kingdom army and the Noah Kingdom army who came from Qinghu Pass in the Yuehua Mountain Range, and a large part of the black-robed thieves who survived fled into the Yuehua Mountain Range, and the other small part was scattered and fled for their lives, the kingdom ordered me to send troops from Laurel City to help strangle the stragglers who fled near Laurel City, hehe, this is the letter, originally I wanted people to write a notice and hang it at the gate of the city, now I will pass it on to you first"

Leonel handed one of the letters to a soldier who stepped forward, and the soldier then took the letter to the city and handed the new newspaper to Berks and his party at the front.

Ignoring the people in the Chamber of Commerce who were gathered in the middle to watch, Leonel continued, "Yesterday, the soldiers who went to investigate came back to report to me the details of the black-robed thieves, and out of prudence, I sent several groups of sergeants to investigate before finally determining the situation, which is why I didn't let you leave yesterday."

"After many reconnaissances, I am very serious to tell you that the traces of the black-robed thieves found the day before yesterday are just a scattered deserters with a number of about 1,000 people, and some scattered black-robed thieves were also found during this period, and they are all fighting separately, and there is no trend of merging and growing with each other, we also caught several prisoners, and learned from them that these black-robed thieves who fled to the vicinity of Laurel City because their largest leader was killed, and now their subordinates are fighting for power, so they are in a state of chaos at the moment, so they are even less worried。 ”

"With their current numbers and state, I don't think they have the slightest chance even if they let you go up to the city wall to defend the city, hehe, these are the circumstances, I can use my reputation as the lord of a city to guarantee the authenticity of these two letters, so, do you want to leave?"

Another letter was also sent down, and the two letters kept being delivered, in fact, who knows whether the letter is true or false, but since the city lord has said so, and swears by his own reputation, presumably things will not be fake, and passing the letter to each other is just to have peace of mind.

The power of these two news is obviously much greater than what Leonel said at the beginning, and there are gradually more smiling faces in the noisy crowd, and a lot of relieved boos sounded, and the tense atmosphere in front of the city gate relaxed in an instant, everyone, look at me, I look at you, many ordinary people have already picked up their packages and walked back, there is no danger who wants to leave their homes, especially those who live at the bottom, it is their greatest wish in this life to be able to live their lives peacefully.
