Chapter 427: Incitement and Apology
"Dear residents of Pritz City, we have just suffered an attack, and last night a group of bipedal wyverns attacked us, causing great damage to our city and countless people losing their precious lives in this attack. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info And all of this, it's all my fault!"
Leo's eyes were also overflowing with tears, this former archaeological otaku was from the earth in the era of peace, he had not experienced famine, plague, or large-scale war, and he had a smooth journey with the help of the Arena of the Gods after crossing over. For a long time, there has always been a faint idea in his heart that he is the protagonist, but last night's two-legged wyvern attack made him truly realize that he is already the lord of a country, and every decision he makes concerns all the people of the entire Principality of Pritz.
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry for everyone!" Tears finally flowed uncontrollably, and Leo's face was washed with wanton tears.
"I don't know how to apologize to everyone because of my recklessness, and I don't know if my apology will be useful. I am sorry for the residents who have always trusted me, and I can only repent deeply for those who died!
I will do my best to make up for the loss caused to everyone, which is just a small comfort, and in the days to come, I will do my best to bring a better life to everyone in Pritz City, I hope you can forgive me, I hope you can continue to trust me, continue to support me!" Sincere words, with the blessing of Leo's internal strength, almost resounded throughout the entire city of Pritz, coupled with Leo's tearful face and the miserable appearance of his serious injury at this time, no resident would bear to blame him harshly.
In fact, in this world ruled by the royal power and the aristocracy, it is impossible for other nobles to apologize to the common people, and in the eyes of those corrupt nobles, ordinary commoners are just tools to provide taxes for themselves. And Leo was able to do this, in fact, to the great surprise and relief of those residents of Pritz City.
In the crowd, a few roe deer rat brains and sneaky people looked at everyone's expressions left and right, and they understood that they originally wanted to incite people's emotions to create a plan against Archduke Pulitzer, because Archduke Pulitz's apology, which can be said to be self-surrendering, was completely defeated.
These fish, who had slipped through the net in the first half of the night last night, had been hiding in their own pre-prepared hiding places in a panic, intending to sneak out of the city immediately after dawn to get away from this dangerous place. But they didn't expect a two-legged wyvern attack in the second half of the night to give them hope again.
There is a way for snakes and snakes, rats and rats, and the years of spy work have made them have some vague connections with each other, and some people even provide intelligence for two or even more countries at the same time, and these people gathered at the most dangerous time in Pritz City, secretly discussing how to turn the situation around by this matter.
In the end, a plan to incite the families of the victims, to coerce all the inhabitants with morality and emotion, and to stir up the anger of the people and the discontent of the mercenaries, to fish in troubled waters and even launch a rebellion, took shape in the hands of these spies who used conspiracy and tricks.
Behind the crowd's gathering of the Grand Duke's Mansion in the morning, these spies managed to gather almost all the people of the city around the Grand Duke's Palace, and if the Grand Duke's response was not timely or appropriate, they would immediately incite the anger and antagonism of the people, and create an incident in which the Grand Duke of Pritz oppressed the people. Of course, this kind of incident must be bloodshed, and even if the Grand Duke's Mansion does not take action, they will find an opportunity to secretly attack and stir up public anger.
It is a pity that they never imagined that this Grand Duke of Pritz would apologize to his people in such a low voice and make a promise, which is simply an unbelievable thing, is this Grand Duke of Pritz really disregarding his own face? If it spreads......
Thinking of this, several quick-thinking spies immediately realized that if this matter spread, even if it would damage his image as a grand duke in the aristocratic class, but for those people, they would trust and admire this daring Grand Duke of Pritz even more.
I am afraid that this is what the Grand Duke of Pritz really wants, as for the image and reputation among the aristocracy...... This Grand Duke of Pritz doesn't seem to have cared since he was knighted!
Has anyone ever seen the Grand Duke of Pritz hold any aristocratic fraternity, ballroom ball, dinner, salon?
It can be said that the Grand Duke of Pritz is simply an alternative among the aristocracy. Archduke Pritz did not touch any of the things that the nobles liked, but what he did was to explore the Dragon Mountains like an ordinary mercenary, and he could constantly defeat powerful magical beasts, adding one thing to boast about to his martial arts.
Even he whimsically appointed the notorious goblins on the road, not only to form the Goblin Legion, but also to hand over the security guards of the entire Pritz City to them, the key is that these goblins did not have so many bad deeds as rumored, if it weren't for the fact that the goblin soldiers were deserters in this attack, I am afraid that they would really refresh the ranking of the continental legion.
While the spies were wearing a look of loss on their faces, in the shadows of some buildings around the Grand Duke's Mansion, Momochi Yukishige and his Iga ninja army had noticed these people who were acting strangely and with the wrong expressions. The expression on their faces was disappointed when all the people were bowing their heads in mourning, which clearly showed that this mass gathering incident had nothing to do with them.
However, now is the time for the people to gather, and a little thing will cause the people to panic and cause more serious consequences, so Baiji Xingzhong did not act rashly, but secretly marked these people and instructed those who were under the ninja to find another opportunity to solve them.
As ordinary people, in fact, when they gathered in front of the Grand Duke's Palace, they did not want to do anything, they just followed the mood of mourning the victims, and when the Grand Duke of Pritz really stood up to apologize and promised them, these people had already forgiven His Excellency the Grand Duke who could bring them a happy life.
The mercenaries were simpler, as long as Grand Duke Pritz could compensate them for their efforts and sacrifices. The mercenary career itself is a dangerous business that licks blood, and it is far more glorious to be able to die defending a human city than to die worthless in the middle of a barren mountain.
