Chapter 1104 The Disintegrated Empire
"Announcement on the Running Out of Food in the Empire and Notice of the Disintegration of the Empire":
"Respected fellow nobles, respectable poor people, and dedicated and kind professionals, I am your emperor Sadni-Odin 3.62 million, in this sad and sad winter In the early morning, I had to tell every intelligent creature belonging to the Kalamus Empire a heavy news. The evil monsters from the endless abyss have invaded our homeland, and our farmland that will not be harvested in the future has also been destroyed by terrible disasters It was destroyed once, our soldiers and people were massacred, and our cities fell one by one... As of today, most of the empire's territory has already fallen into the hands of demons, and the emergency food that has been stored has also been exhausted. Exhausted, the Karamus Empire can no longer support the fight... So today, at this painful moment, at this time, I am ashamed of my great ancestors, the great ancestors of all noble nobles At this sad moment, I have to hold back the heart-wrenching pain to officially announce the following:
1. His Excellency Methur-Bittnak, the protector of the Kalams Empire and the Sunshine spellcaster "The Archmage", was officially dismissed.
2. From now on, all refugee relief sites in the Karamus Empire will stop distributing relief rations.
3. The members of the Odin royal family and all hereditary aristocrats belonging to the Karamus Empire lost every last name they had!
4. The Karamus Empire, with a history of 749,638,224 years, officially declared its disintegration!
Yes, those are the four messages I want to tell you, yes, it's all over, and yes... I'm sorry.
"..."
This "imperial parchment" carrying "unbelievable" information is specially used in the Karamus Empire to announce important news and long royal declarations. In fact, just find a Karamus historian to look through the data. As far as the historical materials that must be stored with magic spar, we can know that every time Karamus in history pasted the "imperial parchment" that exudes bright golden light all over the streets and alleys, he was declaring a special occasion without exception. Big news and great news.
And this time, when the skinny refugees who were suffering from hunger and severe cold saw the announcements filled with golden lights that seemed to be as warm as sunshine posted on the intersections of major towns, they must have felt sincerely in their hearts. Looking forward to good news from the empire, right?
You must know that the harsh winter in Faerun has just begun, and the coldest days have not yet arrived. People at this moment need not only food and cotton clothes, but also "hope" as a fire to lighten the sadness in their hearts.
But it's a pity... This world is gloomy and cold. The last "Royal Proclamation" issued by the Karamus Empire is not only a flame of hope but a belated ice and snow. The cold water poured down from a bucket is usually enough to make any poor man or even noble standing on the street in cold winter shiver.
Is this how the empire disintegrated? With a history of hundreds of millions of years and countless glorious deeds, and one of the three great empires in the plane of Faerun, the Karamus Empire just... suddenly disintegrated without warning?
This is the first absurd thought in the minds of the vast majority of nobles who heard the news. Many of them can hardly imagine the meaning of life for themselves who have lost their surnames, and many of them cannot accept it. The fact of losing the territory passed down from the ancestors.
However, compared to the truly poor street refugees, the pain in the hearts of these nobles who still have the leisure to be angry and sad because of the loss of glory is actually nothing. After all, for the time being, at least they still have time to think about what to do next for themselves and their families. What to do, but those poor people who are still living in shacks on the streets and corners really fell into the purgatory of despair at the moment when the "Royal Announcement" was issued.
Yes, this is purgatory! It's the end of the world here!
This kind of statement and adjective is really not an exaggeration at all. God knows what it means for the bloody hungry people who had already had to fight for a piece of bread, that the Karamus Empire unilaterally cut off the food supply?
There is no need for the attack of demons, no need for the rampant plague, it only takes a maximum of three days, and more than 90% of the tens of billions of poor people will starve to death in just three days! Anyone with a normal IQ who reads the announcement must be able to imagine how the future of the Karamus Empire will be full of corpses and horrors. For ordinary people without professional levels, this kind of genocidal The Great Famine definitely has the obliteration efficiency at the level of destroying the country!
The most frightening thing is... This is an obvious truth that everyone can think of!
So there was no need to wait until three days later, the morning before the announcement of the royal family, every existing city inhabited by intelligent creatures in the entire Karamus Empire was in chaos.
The nobles, big and small, had to stay in the basement of the manor and tremble, and the professionals called for teams to venture across the plains in an attempt to escape, and those desperate poor who had nothing but were starving and crazy began to act unscrupulously. The malice and hatred deep in human nature were released at will, detonating chaos.
For a moment, the entire Kalamus Empire was covered with blazing flames dancing in the cold wind, and the hungry crowd fought with all their strength to fight for the last bit of limited food.
Men rob women of food rations, women rob children of food, and children can only huddle together with dying old people and shiver... Even later, the corpses of the living who were frozen by the cold wind were also taken together. It has become a "precious food" that is being scrambled for. After all, in the face of the crisis of survival, all evil and goodness lose their meaning. The raging demons are no different...
Of course, painful disasters will always only befall the weak and weak. For some selfish and strong people who are high above the ground, the struggle and screams of the "ants" and the random gestures of the roadside flowers and plants being blown and swayed by the breeze There is no essential difference, even the loss of tens of billions of lives is just a series of objective numbers without sadness or happiness for them, and even the demise of the ancient empire is just a part of a grand plan.
For example, at this moment, the morning star mage Punk Sai'an, who was standing at the window of the temporary tower and watching the entire city of Benidor burning and rioting, was obviously one of the above-mentioned "powerhouses".
With a blank face, he certainly wouldn't have any different feelings about any tragedy that was happening below the tower. After all, speaking carefully... the insidious "Whisper of Destruction" himself was the main planner for the overturning and sinking of the Karamus Empire one of them.
