Chapter 83: The Power of Silence
"Sit down."
Connor Barth said to his brothers.
"Let's report back to each other."
"The city of Zemas has been completely controlled, and all disobedient forces have been eliminated."
"The army outside the city has not moved for the time being, but the Eye Demon Fluctuation has already encompassed it, and it can be eliminated at any time."
"So, can't you buy it?"
"Well, between words, there have been several temptations, but they have all been rejected, and our people can't even be placed in the army."
"Leave them alone for now, if Wallash is in chaos, they won't move, and then find time to clean them up, what about the Karinshan Empire?"
"They have already set up warships in Surdovul, and they are ready to support the rest of the Valash royal family in the event of a war, under the pretext of protecting the trade of the Carinfir Empire."
After all, although both Zemas and Surdovre are nominally their respective countries, in fact, in order to prevent the two countries from directly bordering each other, both sides have adopted indirect control over this place, so that even if there is a conflict, there can be a buffer.
"News from the Eye Demon."
Connor Bart patted the table and said.
"The steppe orcs also sent people over, but there is only this one piece of news, where are the people, how many are coming, and what the specific attitude is unknown, so you should pay more attention to this, if they have the mentality of wanting to see the excitement, they also want to let the eye demon kill them together, is there still a problem?"
"Big brother, the plan has been a little too smooth so far, the patriarch of the four grain families died with the Eye Demon a few days ago, there may be something wrong with this."
"Naturally, there is a problem, there is no corresponding means of restraint, if you want to kill the Eye Demon Clan, it is not so easy, it is very likely, Caesar has already sensed something, but, with his character, he will suppress the matter, because he wants to catch a bigger fish."
"We?"
"It can only be us."
Connor Bart sneered.
"However, the relationship between the fish and the fishermen is not necessarily the fish being caught, in the final analysis, it still depends on their respective strengths, and if he lets it go, he will have to bear the price of laissez-faire."
"And what are we going to do if he's wary of the Eye Demon?"
"You don't need to worry about this, I have my own backhand."
As he spoke, Connor Barth looked at his watch.
"There are two hours to go, the summer harvest mass, so go and get ready."
"Yes, Patriarch."
Obviously, the Bart family, although it is divided into several points on the surface, is still a complete family...
"After nearly twenty years of preparation, is it finally time to harvest?"
Everyone else had left, Connor Barthes raised his other hand, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and on his old and withered arm, there was a six-pointed star motif...
...
It's late at night
The wheat field square outside the city of Valash is crowded with people and brightly lit.
It was also surrounded by guarded soldiers, policemen, and even secret guards.
This is where the annual rectangular mass for the wheat harvest takes place.
Caesar sat on the throne on the high platform, enjoying the cries of his subjects underground, enthusiastic and exuberant, especially the commoners, and he could tell that their worship and awe were in their bones, and everything was running according to the script he had written.
This is also the reason why he knows that those nobles have a heart of disobedience, but he still wants to keep them, their existence, their greed, is the best weapon to force the commoners to his side, only in the future this relationship is deeply rooted in the bones of every commoner, then is the time for him to deal with these nobles.
After all, his grandfather said before he died that the aristocracy is like a magic steam engine, its existence can greatly increase the speed of industrialization, but in the same way, this is also a double-edged sword, and the expansion of the nobility will also drag the country into the abyss.
Therefore, his grandfather made the first change after the establishment of the border kingdom, there can be nobles, but except for Zemas, the nobles no longer enjoy the territory, which fundamentally abolish the problem of nobles supporting their own troops.
And this second change, it will be his turn, to open the bridge between the royal family and the commoners, establish a new relationship of trust, and even let the commoners directly have the right to talk to the royal family, through the court institutions he established, so as to further squeeze the rights of the nobles and put shackles on the nobles.
At that time, the nobles who regard the commoners as leeks will become the leeks of the royal family, and if you develop well, then you can enjoy the glory and wealth, but if you have any strange ideas, then don't blame him for hanging them on the street lamp.
However, when it comes to street lamps, he still doesn't understand why his majestic grandfather likes to hang nobles on street lamps to hang, in this regard, he can only say that this is his grandfather's quirk, after all, his quirks are really a lot.
For example, occasionally a lonely person stands on a hill, humming a song that no one has heard, and at that time, he does not allow anyone to approach...
For example, when he gave a speech to Mass, it must have been at night, he stood alone on the high platform, just like he is now, and then let the dazzling lights shine on him...
"My king, the time has come."
"Hmm.."
Caesar stood up and walked to the front of the high platform, where an alchemical prop was placed that could transmit the voice of a person far away.
However, he did not speak, but just stood quietly in front of this alchemical prop called the microphone, standing in the dazzling spotlight.
Silent...
Silent...
The square, which had been like a tsunami before, slowly fell silent, so quiet that only Caesar's breathing could be heard.
"Whew~~"
Suddenly, Caesar took a deep breath, and the sound of breathing spread through the microphone throughout the square, and everyone couldn't help but look at him at this moment.
"My subjects..."
Finally, King Caesar cleared his throat, picked up the manuscript he had prepared in advance, and began to read it aloud in a frustrating manner...
Old king, your knowledge is a bit miscellaneous...
Offstage, Fugui and Pandeli stood together, looking at Caesar under the lights...
This scene seems to be familiar, he once saw it in the video, Hitler liked to use this trick, a guy who points his speech skills to MAX...
But I have to say that this trick really worked, and now countless pairs of eyes are staring at Caesar like this, listening to his narration...
This scene will be deeply engraved in everyone's heart.
This is the power of silence.
...
"Buzz~~Buzz~~Buzz~~"
With King Caesar's speech, the voice that only Fugui can hear is getting louder and louder, and in the sky, the interaction of electromagnetic waves that only Fugui can see is also getting stronger and stronger.
At the same time, the electromagnetic waves between heaven and earth are constantly absorbed, converged, and compressed by this huge eye demon.
He knew, the big one, was coming...
