Chapter 125: Forced to Compromise
Directly north of the Steel City, on the walls of an ancient castle that is simple and heavy, carrying too many ups and downs, Viscount Lane stands alone.
Standing here, you can clearly see most of the steel city, and you can clearly see the panoramic view of the city.
Civilians were seen attacking the upper city of the Iron City with all kinds of shoddy weapons in their hands, trying to overthrow the aristocratic rule of the empire.
Outside of the Steel City, the estates that belonged to the nobility have now been mostly driven out of their estates.
Some of the nobles who had been informed in advance had already fled, and under the deliberate drive, almost all the nobles of Viscount Lane were driven to the Iron City, where they were imprisoned in the upper part of the city.
In the face of the continuous influx of a large number of people, the nobles could only stop it with guns, but it was difficult to stop the blood of the civilians.
Looking at the chaotic but magnificent scene, Viscount Lane said in a deep voice: "It has finally begun, and this is the beginning of the collapse of the Sun Empire. ”
I'm afraid that before this moment, no one would have thought that Viscount Lane would actually overthrow the imperial rule in such a way.
Everyone thought that Viscount Lane would face the Empire head-on, and it would be an unusually unprecedented war.
But Viscount Lane did not do that, he incited most of the commoners in his domain, causing them to start a battle to overthrow the aristocracy.
Today, on the outskirts of Viscount Lane, the Imperial army is still waiting there, waiting for the Empire to give them orders.
But they didn't know that a huge change was taking place in the Viscount of Lane, which would change the entire empire and even the entire Western landscape.
In the conference room of the town hall, the archon said in horror: "Since this is the case, then we should immediately call for help from the Empire." ”
Hearing the Archon's words, most of the people present were silent, and their eyes revealed disdain and loss for the Archon.
Instead, Barot opened his mouth to remind: "Your Excellency, the Imperial Army does not have any orders now, and it will not easily enter the Viscount of Lane, not to mention that the army of Viscount Lane has been waiting for the Imperial Army along the way for a long time, even if the Imperial Army can attack the army of Viscount Crane, by the time they arrive in the Steel Capital, I am afraid that we will have already been killed by the people outside." ”
Hearing Barot's words, the Archon became even more flustered, and some didn't know what to do next?
The red-robed referee said in a deep voice: "This chaos created by civilians is obviously fueled by Viscount Lane behind the scenes. ”
This is a nonsense, and it is now almost clear to everyone present that the chaos that has swept the entire Viscount of Lane must have been fueled by Viscount Lane.
It now appears that the Bad Boy Brotherhood had suddenly attacked the Inquisition, and quickly retreated after a fierce battle.
Since then, the court has been forced to conduct a large-scale search of the lower city, which has directly led to the innocent implication of some civilians in the lower city.
All this has clearly been designed a long time ago, and the purpose is to stir up the dissatisfaction of the common people in the lower city against the nobility and the church.
Taking advantage of this popular discontent, some people deliberately instigated it, which naturally detonated this chaos.
At first, neither the town hall, nor the garrison hall, nor the church or the inquisition took the matter seriously.
Even the Inquisition and the Church organized a special effort to crack down on the first civilian demonstrations in the lower city.
The result was naturally nothing more than adding fuel to the fire, directly arousing the anger of the people, and the chaos began completely from then on.
The archon trembled and asked, "If, if we accede to the demands of those civilians now, and hand over the people who were responsible for the suppression in the first place, and those who wantonly killed civilians, will we be able to calm them down temporarily?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone present were focused on the consul, making the consul feel like falling into an ice cave.
Arthur sneered at this time and said, "Your Excellency, you really know how to protect yourself, do you want the chief referee to go out and die?"
The archon was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the red-robed chief referee sitting in the first place, and his whole person trembled uncontrollably.
In any case, I never thought that it was the chief judge who ordered the attack on Xiacheng and arrested those civilians.
What I didn't expect was that when civilians began to resist for the first time, it was the chief referee who ordered violent suppression again.
In other words, if you do what the consul says, then the first thing you can do is to hand over the chief referee.
Then if the red-robed referee is handed over and handed over to those people, the end can be imagined.
The most important thing is that if the red-robed inquisitor is killed by the people, then the dominance of the Holy See will be threatened, and the belief in the sun god will be questioned.
Once the faith collapses, then I am afraid that the chaos of the entire empire will not be far away, and who will be able to go to the top post and die at that time?
Many thoughts flashed through him in an instant, and the archon quickly stood up and said to the chief judge in a low voice: "Lord Referee, yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. ”
The red-robed referee was not much annoyed, but said calmly: "I know what you mean, you don't need to explain too much." ”
The consul was just about to sit down when he heard the red-robed chief say, "If it weren't for the tense situation now, I would definitely put you on trial first." ”
Hearing this, the archon really shivered subconsciously and sat down in his place in silence.
There was silence in the conference room again, and everyone was helpless about the situation in front of them, wondering what else could be done to calm the mood of the people.
After a long time, Chi Hong, a half-blood dragon country man who was present, opened his mouth and said, "In my opinion, why don't you find a way to find Viscount Lane?"
As soon as this sentence came out, it once again attracted everyone's attention, and everyone's eyes were cast on Chi Hong, who was sitting at the bottom.
The latter did not have the slightest fear, and faced everyone's eyes and said: "In the current situation, if Viscount Lane does not come forward, then we can only wait for death." ”
Then, he pointed to the nobles in front of him and said, "I'm afraid the soldiers in the hands of these nobles won't be able to withstand it for long, right?"
Hearing the words of the half-blood dragon country, the nobles who were doing it immediately lowered their heads, they escaped from their own castles, and there were not many soldiers around them, coupled with all kinds of defections and deaths along the way, there are indeed not many soldiers left now, if they continue to stalemate like this in the steel capital, I am afraid that the last bit of family foundation will also be exhausted.
In the final analysis, this is not the original wish of the nobles, and the reason why they chose to oppose Viscount Lane is not to lose their family wealth in this way.
At the beginning, the consuls and inquisitors represented the empire and the Holy See, weaving a bright future for them one by one, but now they are gone.
If this continues to be consumed, eventually these nobles will lose everything, even if they can wait for the imperial army, are they still nobles?
At this moment, the conference room fell silent, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing, and even the nobles didn't even dare to come out.
Finally, the referee said, "Well, we have been cornered, so we have to compromise with him." ”
