After Bai E groaned slightly, he raised his head and said to the doctor: "This matter is very big, and Blackwater City will not hide it from me." ”

In fact, it can't be hidden, even if those big people deliberately avoid themselves, there are always "their own people" in the city who they can't avoid.

Helen, Aglaia, Geroran, and even Caesar......

As long as any of these people who know him well get the news, he will never be in the dark.

So the truth is that when he left Blackwater City, the messenger from the imperial capital had not yet reached Blackwater City.

And Blackwater City is not far from Gray Iron City, since the messenger of Gray Iron City has been here for two or three days, it is estimated that the messenger to Blackwater City should also arrive.

If this kind of major event happens that affects the future direction of the whole city, the city leaders who talk about keeping themselves away from the center of power may even think about asking themselves to participate in the discussion.

“……”

As soon as he thought of this, Bai Er reacted, "I have to go back." ”

Although his personal freedom in Blackwater City is not completely restricted, if those high-level leaders can't find him in time and don't have a reasonable reason, it will still be a little troublesome.

Bai E is not afraid of them, but it is annoying to always be "educated" by those people.

The most important thing is that if he rushes back in time, he may be able to catch up with the group of people to respond to the imperial capital messenger decision-making meeting.

Knowing the reaction of the upper echelons of Blackwater City, he can also notify the doctor in time, so that Gray Iron City can prepare to advance and retreat together.

"It's time to go back." The doctor replied with a deep groan, "Then I'll wait for your reply." ”

"Hmm!"

……

In the council hall of Blackwater City, an old man with a familiar face heard the report from his subordinates in the headset: "The people in the barracks said that he went out on a mission, but they didn't say when he would come back." ”

"......" The old man's eyes suddenly emitted a cold glow, "Disobedient things!" ”

If he is not allowed to enter the city, he will run around outside the city?!

are all the masters of an army, and they still have to personally lead people to do tasks at every turn?

It seems that the position of marshal of the military region really cannot be handed over to him directly. When Vesling wakes up, he still has to let him check and balance this guy! ’

Turning these thoughts in his heart, the old man waved his hand and said to the other members of the Senate beside him: "Don't wait for him, I don't know where to go when I go out of the city, and there is no point in making decisions when I wait for him." ”

A thug who doesn't know much about the city and doesn't have much political acumen, he is more out of respect for strength and status.

Since the other party is not there, there is no need for so many people to wait for him.

A thug who has the right to know afterwards is fine!

Clearing his throat, the old man looked at the representatives of all walks of life in the city who had been gathered, "Since everyone is here, let's tell you what just happened." I think most of you here should know the news of the arrival of the messenger from the imperial capital, but I think many people may still be in the dark about their intentions. I have gathered you here today to ask you what you think about this matter. ”

"What the messenger conveys is a decision-making ...... in the imperial capital"

The messenger of the Imperial Capital made it clear that there was already a small discussion of its own within the Senate.

It's just that the stakes are high, and you can listen to the different views of people at all levels in the city on this matter, and maybe you can summarize a more appropriate response plan.

“…… That's what the imperial capital means. Regarding this proposal initiated by the imperial capital, what do you think about it? ”

“……”

There was some silence for the time being.

The amount of information from the messenger of the imperial capital is really a bit large, and many of the representatives present who have just heard about it still need time to digest this information and think more about it before they can make a rational judgment.

But there were also some people who knew earlier, who wanted to give everyone a preconceived impression in advance, and said in a quiet silence: "In my opinion, this is a conspiracy on the part of the imperial capital!" ”

The messenger of the imperial capital was not at the scene, this was completely the words of the people inside Blackwater City behind closed doors, so naturally there was no need to hide it.

Someone asked, "How so?" ”

The man snorted and explained with a sneer, "The so-called alliance is just trying to use the power of all our cities to create a core super safe zone!" The hives, sapient machines, and wandering orcs that spread all over the world are disasters that our ancestors in the golden age have not been able to completely eradicate from the earth. Dream! ”

"Didn't the imperial capital say that it would provide support to every city to eliminate the surrounding wild threats?" Objections were raised.

The members of the opposition sneered again, "There are thousands of cities in the world, can the imperial capital come over with support?" The only consequence of joining this alliance is to help them build the land centered on the imperial capital into a great paradise. As for other places, they are bound to be abandoned under the threat of natural disasters. The Imperial Capital is only to gather forces, not to protect every city! That's where they really come from! What do we have here? Nothing! It is neither a bonanza nor close to the imperial capital. What reason does the imperial capital have to divide his power to protect our city? ”

For a long time, the repeated defeats against those disasters have severely dampened the fighting spirit of some people.

Even if there is a single warrior like Bai E in the city, as long as the insect nest is still there, it means that it will be difficult for them humans to defeat these natural disasters.

Not to mention, defeating one hive does not mean that you can defeat every hive.

Defeating every hive does not mean that the insect is a very vigorous thing will disappear completely.

The imperial capital said to eliminate all threats in the wild...... Just listen to it.

This ideal situation will never happen!

"In this joint chess, we ...... It's an outcast! ”

"As you say, we don't participate."

"Not participating?" The opposition member who spoke sneered again, "Do you think you can stop participating if you want to?" Cities that don't participate are not their allies, and as long as the disasters that the Imperial Capital Alliance can't fight at that time are channeled around us, we still have a way to survive in Blackwater City?! Is it true that a hegemonic alliance can enter if we want to, and that we will not enter if we don't? ”

"Then if you say that, let's just wipe our necks and kill ourselves, and talk about a fart!"

"So, this is Yangmou!" The speaker's eyes were red, and his fist slammed the table in front of him, making a muffled "bang", "But...... It's not without chance! ”

"Opportunity?"

"That's right! Opportunity. The speaker nodded heavily, "We can see the Yangmou in the imperial capital, and other cities must be able to see it as well." Of course, those cities that benefit from it raise their hands in favor, but the cities whose interests are detrimental are bound to be unwilling in their hearts. This is our chance! If we can unite, we may not be afraid of pressure from the imperial capital. ”

Several elders of the Senate looked at each other, and there was some satisfaction in their eyes.

Although the speakers of this opposition are somewhat extreme, they can even be said to be at odds with their internal intentions.

But the direction of the guidance is right.

So the old man at the head waited for a moment of silence before asking, "What other opinions do the others have?" ”

After thinking carefully for a long time, another woman with glasses stood up and said in a deep voice: "But I think this is an opportunity to change humanity and change the future of our city!" ”

The woman looked around and whispered, "Guys, we're not afraid of the hive, are we?" The results of the last operation launched by our military region against the hive show that if we are more prepared, there is every hope that the source of the natural disaster closest to the city will be cleared. And apart from this hive, in fact, there is no too deadly threat in a large area around our Blackwater City. Even if there is, under the leadership of General Bai E, we are capable of fighting back. ”

The woman pushed the frame on the bridge of her nose, her eyes glowing with fanatical light, "For us, the situation can't get any worse. We are different from those crumbling cities. We are confident. Even if the emperor regards us as an outcast in Blackwater City, we are actually ...... Don't be afraid! However, as long as we join this alliance, we can enjoy the sharing of productivity by this alliance. As long as we have the ability to maintain the safety of this shared line, it is actually a good thing for the development of our city. ”

The more the woman spoke, the more excited she became, and the blinding light reflected from the glasses lenses, "Isn't the previous development plan of the city to gradually expand the scale of our city after cleaning up the hives in the Black Rock District?" This coincides with the development strategy of the imperial capital. Accepting the union of the imperial capital, I think, is not a bad thing. ”

As the supporters spoke, the whole meeting gradually became lively.

In the view of the people who ride the wall, "absolute opposition and absolute support are irrational choices, and only the phased adjustments made in observation and development are truly suitable for the situation of our city!" ”

"The messenger of the Imperial Capital wants an answer for now, not a decision you have made after a long period of observation and development. The icing on the cake is far worse than sending charcoal in the snow! ”

"The icing on the cake is also better than the all-or-nothing one!"

Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, the old man of the Senate coughed a few times and interrupted everyone's quarrel, "I am not so anxious about the reply of the messenger of the imperial capital. You can think carefully in private, and let's finish today's meeting. Wait until the right time to invite everyone to make a final decision. ”

In the corner of the city after the end, several figures gathered together spoke fiercely and rebelliously.

"Interests?! Benefit?! The mouth is full of interests! Is this a city of high-ranking officials, or a city of human beings?! Caesar squinted his eyes and looked at some like-minded companions in front of him, "Those people said so much, it was nothing more than that they were afraid that after Blackwater City was reincorporated into the imperial system, the interests of those high-ranking officials themselves would be harmed. Are they afraid of the abandonment of the city? No! All they fear is that they will be abandoned! ”

"Yes," said a man to Caesar's right...... look desolate, "even Miss Frilian doesn't dare to say it so clearly." ”

The only woman present pushed the frame on the bridge of her nose, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "This is our last chance for humanity to turn over!" I don't care if Blackwater can become the centerpiece of the new empire, I just want to see humanity great again! ”

Even if such greatness is the result of the sacrifice of countless cities like Blackwater...... That's all about dying!

The "loss of control" of General Bai E at the expense of military discipline for the sake of humanity is unacceptable to most people in the city, but for them...... That's the right thing!

It's just that they couldn't stand up and speak at the beginning.

……

In the other corner of the city, the opposition people also had a disdainful smile on their lips, "Those people only think about the great future of mankind all day long, but they don't think about what will happen to the tens of millions of people in this city if they are outcasts?!" ”

"That's it! He was alone and widowed, and he died when he died, and he had to say that he was honorably dedicated to the righteousness of his ideals. But I never thought about whether the ordinary people who were sacrificed by them wanted to sacrifice for the future of the so-called whole mankind like them! ”

"It's just a bunch of selfish imps who don't consider the feelings of so many ordinary people at all. These ordinary people in Blackwater City, who are managed by us and fully believe in us, are the ones we should really be responsible for! We are right! ”

……

When Bai E returned to the barracks, he had already heard this lively movement, which was circulating in the mouths of every officer who could be named in the military region.

The messenger of the imperial capital has already arrived.

The first time he saw Bai E, Carlos pulled him to the corner, "The Lord of the Senate asked us to inform you, and as soon as you return, you will go to the city to meet them." This is an order to enter the city, and the guards will not stop you, so don't worry. ”

"......" After roughly knowing what kind of mainstream wind was going in the city at the moment from the conversations of those officers, Bai Er nodded and responded, "Got it, I'll go over now." ”

Most of them are oppositionists, with a small number of supporters, and a smaller part of the wall-ridden faction......

No matter what time or what, it seems that they can be roughly divided into these three main factions.

But until the moment of his return, the Senate did not seem to have unified the final answer.

I don't know, what are their intentions?

Now that you call yourself over as soon as you come back, do you want to explain things and ask yourself about this?

With these thoughts flashing in his heart, Bai E rushed into the city as soon as possible, and the guards who got the news let him go all the way, and within a short time, Bai E came to the real power center of the city - the Senate Council! (End of chapter)
