Chapter 2211 Win People’s Hearts

Regardless of whether the old Duke holds a grudge or not, I am very lucky to have been able to withdraw from the battlefield in time.

A monster that can inflict heavy damage to hundreds of thousands of coalition forces must be both powerful and troublesome. If I fail to withdraw in time, my family will inevitably suffer heavy losses like the old Duke's army.

As the saying goes: Don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

The reason why this old man hates me is probably not because I retreated midway, but because my family members are all alive and well.

I bet that if more than half of my family had been lost before retreating, even if I escaped from the battlefield, the old Duke would only comfort me with words and hypocritically advise me: "Pardon me."

Yes, it is hypocritical, putting on a good show, touching others, and at the same time winning our hearts and preparing us for the next splurge.

Some people may be angry and think that I am too self-righteous and always treat others as bad people.

In fact, if he really had good intentions, he would not have chosen to look at me from a distance and wait and see what happened at the moment when I was about to be crushed to death.

Not to mention that there were no fighter planes at the time, Titan was destroyed, Goliath was besieged, and Atlas was competing with me. The three enemies were busy with their own affairs and could not threaten other people in the position at all, and Atlas was already in sight. Blind, as long as I use a fierce offensive to attract its attention and force it to let go, as long as I do this, I will definitely accept the love of everyone who saves me.

You know, the moment I was held tightly in my hand, how painful I was and how much I longed for someone to save me.

However, the old Duke did not. He was like a stranger, looking at me from a distance, watching my bones being broken, watching me being pinched until I vomited blood, and watching my life disappear little by little.

Fortunately, there is reincarnation in the way of heaven.

God gave me a heart-breaking pain, but it also saved the lives of me, my family, and the people who were kind to me.

At the same time, punishment was imposed on those who were indifferent, killing at least half of them.

In my opinion, this is retribution.

Since it's not appropriate to show up in Dashai City, I won't go back. It's not home anyway.

Then, I asked Taylor about the situation in Airey City.

The old man told me that Airui City has the situation under control for the time being, and it won't take long for the disaster to be completely eliminated.

When asked about the losses in Airui City, the old man sighed softly and said: "In this disaster, Airui City lost a total of thirteen towns. Although it is not a serious loss in terms of national strength, it is still a serious injury. "

I sighed faintly: "Greed, all of this is caused by greed. If that old guy Carter Horton was willing to listen to his advice, or if he was not so greedy, why would Ai Rui City be like this? Speaking of which, Carter Horton The old guy is probably now thinking about how to divert public anger to the disaster, and at the same time, he is also thinking about how to silence the insiders, because once the truth is leaked, it will greatly shake his dominance, including that of the Carter family. .”

"You made a good analysis," Taylor said: "Just yesterday, Carter Horton issued an edict detailing the disasters caused by the disaster, and held a swearing-in meeting, deciding to eradicate all monsters without leaving any trace, as a comfort. Those unfortunate people who died."

"You really know how to choose the moment and win the first battle. Whether it is a hard-working adventurer or an ordinary person, everyone's heart can relax for a moment from the tense critical point. This moment of relaxation gave Carter Horton We can take this opportunity to use edicts and oaths to mobilize the people's hatred for the disaster, and at the same time win over the people's hearts and stabilize the political power. I am afraid that after this battle, the people of Airui City's support for the Carter family will return to its peak. It's a good trick. , It’s really a good method!”

People are both simple and stupid. Whoever can feed and clothe them and give them a little bit of dignity in survival will immediately treat them as their reborn parents.

After gaining control of people's hearts this time, as long as the Carter family doesn't do anything too outrageous, no one can shake the royal family's status.

I thought I could use the help of disaster to dismantle the Carter family's influence on Airey City, but I didn't expect Carter Horton to be so good at manipulating people's hearts.

It seems that I really miscalculated this time.

However, a miscalculation is a miscalculation. As long as the adamantine and mithril are still there, Carter Horton will not let them be mined by others. After all, everyone is greedy, and Carter Horton is even worse.

As long as his greed persists, after the scar is healed and he forgets the pain, he will definitely dig up fine gold and mithril secretly to expand the treasury.

However, Carter Horton must not have expected that this so-called disaster is just a group of minions sealed in the shallow layer of the source of the disaster. The existence that can truly be regarded as a disaster has not yet appeared.

I hung up the call and looked up at the stars in the sky. My heart felt both eager and anxious.

Emily loved the curry sticks I gave her and started practicing sword skills early in the morning.

Although no sound could be heard through a glass door, and no figure could be seen between two curtains, the familiar wave of breath still woke me up from my sleep.

He glanced at Bai Yunying and Xiao Remi who were sleeping in his arms, and used the gentlest movements to pull out the arms that were pressed by them.

As soon as I stood up, I felt my arms were wet and sticky. When I looked down, I couldn't help but laugh: These two little girls drooled a lot.

He took off his pajamas, put on his outer clothes, took Xi Lan's demon knife, and tiptoed into the yard.

As soon as the door was closed, a sharp roar was heard, followed by the shadow of a sword.

The blade of the long sword was gently placed on my shoulder. Under the rays of the morning sun, it bloomed with dazzling light.

With a chuckle, I pushed the knight's sword aside and asked softly: "How is this sword? Does it fit in my hand?"

Emily nodded slightly and continued practicing her sword.

I also continued to practice my own knife skills on the side, and at the same time mixed Xi Lan's knife skills into it.

After practicing for about twenty minutes, I suddenly remembered what Odachi told me before: If you want to master the killing intent earlier, you must practice every day.

So, I put away my sword moves, held my breath and concentrated, and thin streams of clear but solid black-red murderous intent separated from the pores of my body and covered my whole body in just a few seconds.

In my ears, the sound of sword dancing suddenly stopped, and at the same time, two doubtful eyes were cast on me.

Opening my eyes, I waved my hand to Emily, said it was okay, and continued to concentrate on my murderous intention.

After hearing what I said, Emily felt relieved. After a while, the sound of the sword dance started again, with the same rhythm as before.

Immersed in murderous intent, but without any restlessness in my heart, this is my current state.

It was very different from the past where he would immediately go berserk like a mad dog as soon as he gathered his murderous intent.

I don’t know the reason for this result. The only possibility is that I have adapted to it after using it for a long time.

However, just when I was in a state of emptiness, a series of familiar voices suddenly sounded in my ears.
