Chapter 646 Conversation

The king's flag has fallen, but this is just the beginning. The establishment of a new order is not easy. Before everything is stabilized, there are countless things that need to be dealt with. For Gawain, the only good news is that he has to face The resistance has collapsed for various reasons, Ansu has suffered a thorough cleaning in this disaster, and he is facing a piece of ruins to be built, and only a piece of ruins to be built.

Moreover, he also received the support of the two guardian dukes, as well as the support of the remnant family of the royal capital—at least on the surface.

The battles in the southern and eastern areas of San Sunil have not yet ended. Mechanical troops and field bunkers have cut those areas into a large number of dead-line restricted areas. The cluster monsters wandering from the Holy Spirit Plain are like walking into a shredder. Blockade lines turned to ashes.

The fleet docked on the Gorgon River has completed the fire support mission. In addition to the Pioneer and several small gunboats staying on standby near Saint-Sunil, the other two main battleships have led the remaining battleships to evacuate at this time. They will return to the Gorgon River and continue to blockade the channel to prevent the slippery fish from the cluster monsters from entering the western plains.

Those armored cargo ships also left, but they did not go back forever - they will maintain the transportation line between Saint Sunil and the southern plains for the next period of time to ensure the supply of materials in the capital.

After the war, there was a shortage of supplies in San Sunil, especially all kinds of medical supplies. If the supply of all kinds of necessities in the capital cannot be restored in time, the city is likely to fall into self-destruction after victory. This is a historical fact. taught more than once.

After entering the city, Gao Wen first ordered the opening of the granary of Silver Castle, and carried out the opening of the city's granary. At the same time, he sent a large number of messengers to read the notices of Anmin throughout the city, and let the white knights take to the streets to let them free. Healed the disease for the citizens to initially stabilize the hearts of the people-he was not in a hurry to blockade and raid the homes of those nobles who had lost power, because this would lead to unnecessary panic and high pressure, but he replaced all the guards in the city at the first time. Soldiers were stationed in all urban areas.

During this process, Amber also promptly mobilized the officers of the Military Intelligence Agency in the city. These agents, who had been rooted in the city a long time ago, acted in secret, and dug up a large number of young people who wanted to profit from the chaos. Constantly providing the military with information at the grassroots level in the city, the officers responsible for maintaining order quickly brought the situation under control.

Thanks to these effective measures, the atmosphere of Saint-Sunil has initially stabilized in a short period of time. The residents' nervousness is still there, but at least the normal life order is still maintained, and the city's functions have been initially restored - after all, this era The traditional city's management organization does not have many complex functions, and the "wartime military management" process that the Cecil Corps is familiar with is more than enough to calm the order of the city.

Inside the Silver Castle, in a study with a dark blue carpet, luxurious bookshelves and delicate silver candlesticks, Gao Wen was standing behind the crystal window, staring at the open area with fountains and a large lawn in front of the castle—two cars The Warhammer-I main battle tank and two steel ambassador multi-purpose vehicles were parked beside the elegant flower bed,

A team of fully-armed magic combat soldiers walked in front of the fountain with neat steps. Four white knights in heavy armor and armed with mechanical-powered warhammers stood in the distance, looking vigilant.

The classical royal castle and the modern magic mechanical troop appear in the same picture in a strange way, with a kind of fantasy-like separation, but they are wonderfully integrated.

"I didn't expect you to take over a royal capital with such ease and control its order in a short period of time," the middle-aged man's voice came from behind, "It looks like you are very skilled, and you even practiced in advance?"

Gawain turned around and watched Welsh Moen walk to the desk: "I haven't practiced, but the Cecil Corps has a plan for most situations, and following the rules is enough to deal with the city. As for skilled... We did receive quite a few cities in the South."

"This city is a bigger quagmire. Although my reminder may be redundant, I hope you can handle it carefully," Wales smiled and picked up the teapot on the table, "You can try the black tea here— - This is one of the few good things in Silver Castle."

Gawain accepted Welsh's kindness calmly, and said casually, "It sounds like you don't have a good impression of Silver Castle."

"I don't like moldy places, and this is the most moldy house in the entire kingdom. I once left here for 20 years, but when I came back, I found that there was no change here," Wales smiled, "Fortunately, I don't have to continue here. live."

"Do you regret this decision?" Gawain glanced at him, "Actually, you chose the path that was most unfavorable to you—you don't need to leave the throne in a way of ruin, I will liquidate those nobles, and you can settle down smoothly. The handover of power may even leave you with the title of 'Heroic King'. In this situation, even if I have preserved your reputation to a certain extent, you are still a king who was overthrown because of taint. Scrubbing stains."

Wales said in a flat tone: "This is exactly the situation I want. The peaceful handover of the king will leave too much to be missed. In the future, someone will use my name to try to restore the Ansu crown, and the king will be replaced by the king. Overthrowing can wipe out most of the future sparks, especially when overthrown is a conspiracy and bloody tyrant - no one wants the tyrant to come back."

Having said this, the king who was crowned on the eighth day suddenly smiled, with a hint of self-deprecation on his face: "Actually, I even prepared a gallows for myself, this is the most thorough 'overthrowing myself', but I didn't expect you He will express his attitude in such a direct and powerful way, quelling the anger of the nobles that is about to get out of control... My gallows are useless."

Gawain couldn't help staring at Welsh Moen, but the latter just kept a calm smile, as if he was talking about a trivial matter that had nothing to do with him.

"In fact, even if you die, as long as someone still misses the old times, the restorers will still appear. They may not be in your name, but they will find your heirs and other Morn bloodlines. , find the heir of the side branch, and even create a 'child'," Gawain shook his head, "What is needed to prevent restoration is not the blocking of blood, but the washing of time and the attraction of the new era itself. As long as the new order is guaranteed If it is better than the old one and guarantees the interests of the vast majority of the people, then there will be no room for the restorers to exist.”

Wales sighed softly: "Then this is your task."

"...Yes, this is my mission."

Gawain turned sideways and glanced at the square outside the window.

Some carriages depicting the family coat of arms were driving across the pavement in front of the square.

Wales also stepped forward and stared out the window with Gawain.

"...The Colin Pass family...should have come to Duke Baldwin to discuss the reopening of the market."

"These families are now your opposite, and are about to be governed and 'transformed' by Cecil's laws," Gawain said. The new order of It was an almost unbearable suffering, and some of those who failed to pass the test, failed to adapt to the new order, and even lost their lives - just like the old nobles who were executed in the south."

"Many of them are good people, good people in public morality, but Ansu... this country needs to be reborn," Wales said calmly, "The problem is the whole aristocracy, so we must destroy the whole aristocracy too , it has nothing to do with whether they are good people or not.

"On the other hand, even these 'good people', these 'good people' who were not sent to Crow Terrace by me and who used to bravely guard the capital, are also a part of hindering and hindering the country.

"The knights who stand firm on the city wall are also squeezing serfs on weekdays. The counts and viscounts who fight to the death also deduct the last bit of grain and land from the farmers. Those who donate all their belongings to support the front line, give all their own Those who sent their children to the city wall, those who ran out of oil and died at the shield node... They are also the masters of the land, the masters of serfs, the masters of wealth, they are both reformers and conservatives, but no matter which faction they are, they All must become history - just like my king."

Gawain looked at Wales seriously, before nodding lightly for a long time: "You see it very clearly."

"It's just to see clearly, but it's hard for me to do it myself, I know where my abilities are limited... I can see through, but I can't build an army like yours, I understand people's hearts, but I lack the kind of army you do I may have some courage to plan a whole new order of wisdom... but it's not enough to ignore all traditional forces like you and always stick to my own direction," Wales shook his head mockingly, "I sent the Raven Mesa to me. A gift for you, but it is also a test for you. Only when the fire from the sky falls on the platform can you prove that you are completely opposed to the current aristocratic system...

"As long as the cannons sound there, you and the nobles will have no room for relaxation. They will submit to you, but will never try to win you over. You will transform them, but you will never integrate into them again. Even for many years. In the future, even if I die, even if you die too - if you will die again - the sky fire on the crow terrace will be forever imprinted in the memory of witnesses and their first and second generation descendants, will not dissipate.

"How offensive is this temptation, I hope you don't mind."

"If I minded, I wouldn't be standing here," Gawain glanced at Wales, "but I'm curious, what would you have done if I hadn't ordered the firing?"

"I've got about half an order in Milltown," Welsh smiled slightly. "Compared to the real order, the raucous clowns at Crow's Mezzanine are not at all vulnerable. But it's the worst situation, once I do that. Now, the only order in the capital will collapse immediately, and the number of people who die will be several times higher, and many of them can be used to rebuild the kingdom... But I also believe that if the situation really turns into that, you will still take action, Come pick up this much worse mess."

Gawain was stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems fortunate that I fired at that time... Wales, you are exactly the same as Charlie back then when it comes to calculating people."

"That's the highest compliment I've ever heard," Wales said calmly, before changing the subject, "but now I have one last worry... do you know what it is?"

"What is it?"

"The order of the Principality of Cecil seems to be beneficial today, but Anzu's aristocratic system was also beneficial when it was established at the beginning of the year... With the passage of time, the order established by people will eventually be corroded by people, especially It is a brand new social order, and no one can prove it in advance. It must be correct. One day, or if in the near future, your Cecil Kingdom - or Empire - goes astray, The rules you made were proven wrong, and on that day..." Welsh paused for a while, then raised his head and looked into Gawain's eyes, "Will you overthrow yourself? Or, someone can overthrow you. and your descendants?"

Gawain was silent for two seconds, then said seriously, "Yes, I promise."

He didn't list a lot of laws of social development or the special attributes of magic technology to support his words, and Wales also didn't seek any evidence. The two just smiled, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

"Then I don't have any more questions," Wales put down the teacup in his hand, tidied up his jacket a little, and then took a half step back, "It's time for me to leave, the overthrown king should not stay in the capital. For too long, this stage is left to you."

"Don't you think about staying to help?" Gawain looked at Wales who was about to turn around and leave, "You are a talent, an extremely valuable talent. The new country needs people like you. I have many positions, so I can ignore yours." Former King' Identity."

"You really like to recruit talents as rumored, but unfortunately I'm a slob," Welsh shook his head, "I've used up my whole life of diligence in these eight days of kingship, and now I'm going back to my original life. Go, for the sake of my ability to defend the city, allow me to be lazy."

Gawain did not give up his efforts: "Just as a witness to whether my new order is correct, you can also see with your own eyes whether I can fulfill my promise to the end."

Wales thought for a while and spread his hands: "...Forget it, I'm afraid I won't survive you."

Gao Wen: "..."

The former king left the study.

Gawain sighed, and the figure of Amber slowly appeared in the air beside him. The latter blinked and poked Gawain's arm: "I didn't dig it out..."

"I just tried it, I didn't hold out much hope."

"But you look so disappointed..."

"You came forward to say this?"

"That's not true," Amber jumped out of stealth completely and stretched carelessly, "mainly because it's the first time I've seen someone who can talk as much as you... and many of this Welsh point of view are very similar to yours. It's close, if I didn't know in advance that it was impossible, I would suspect that he was taught by you..."

"There's more than one smart person in the world, but unfortunately not all smart people can be dug into my hands..." Gawain shook his head and put aside the irrelevant sighs for the time being, "Anyway, send someone to pay attention, Maybe one day he'll be willing to stand up and do something for this country."

"Don't worry, I knew you would arrange it like this."

"Where are Duke Baldwin and Duchess Victoria?"

"Meeting nobles and business representatives in the parlour on the first floor, there are many people who need to be appeased at this stage - but they should have been busy by this time. Do you want them to come to see you?"

"Let them come up," Gao Wen nodded. "By the way, bring a magic net terminal, I want to hold an internal meeting."
