Chapter 3474 A Bad Start

The national war has been going on for a long time, and the number of casualties has exceeded one million.

From the information I received, I know that the old Duke is already in dire straits, and each of his nephews is beginning to show signs of squeezing the people.

Preliminary estimates suggest that they are planning to make money crazily and then take the opportunity to run away.

The reason for this is because they also discovered that under the leadership of the old Duke family, the rule of Dashai City not only failed to move towards a better situation, but instead gradually fell into trouble.

In this way, they are one step closer to overthrowing their rule.

Once the old Duke loses power, none of these descendants and relatives can escape the orc king's butcher knife.

Don't think that the orc king, who has a bold personality and does not stick to one style, is really a talkative fool. When he kills people, he is not ambiguous at all.

Otherwise, how can we simultaneously resist the joint attacks of York, Hancheng, and Airui City in their strongest period?

You must know that when Airui City was at its strongest, neither its economic strength nor its national power should be underestimated.

And according to Master Dewey, when the Orc King succeeded to the throne, Simmons Locke was also in his prime, a competitive and impulsive age. He and the equally young and energetic Carter Horton really assembled the strongest team in the country. The army attempted to defeat the newly ascended orc king in one fell swoop.

Although he had just ascended the throne, the Beastman King had the appearance of an emperor after all. Not only was he unparalleled in momentum, but he was also full of courage. He immediately ordered to use the entire country's military power to fight against him.

The result of this battle was a tragic victory for Dasai City.

As for the York Hancheng and Airey City coalition forces, they ended in a disastrous defeat.

After this battle, Dashai City established its dominant position on that land. For a long time after that, the three countries were in a state of harmony. There was no war or friction, and even malicious border violations and murders did not occur.

How could an orc king with such courage and determination be so merciful to his children just because of the face of an old duke?

According to Master Dewey, the Beastman King completely inherited the previous Beastman King in terms of personality, and the same was true in terms of ruthlessness.

As for the old Duke, in terms of ruthlessness and courage, he was no match for the former orc king and the current orc king.

One can imagine how panicked the old Duke was at this time.

Different from the panic and helplessness of the old Duke, the monarch of Airey City, Carter Horton, should be very relaxed.

After all, he has been having a hard time under pressure from both the aristocratic group and the national power organization. He was even forced to start this national war.

But the result of the national war made him very satisfied, because - he was undefeated, but suffered heavy losses.

Hefeng Continent has always respected the strong. No matter whether you are strong personally, powerful in commanding the army, or strong in governing the country, in short, as long as you are strong in one aspect, you will be respected and admired by the people.

But now, the national war has been fought without victory, but it still suffered heavy losses. This is not only the mistake of the battlefield commander, but also the mistake of the initiator of this national war.

If you ask who is the initiator of this national war, the first one is the aristocratic group, followed by the national power organization.

This is no longer a secret in Airui City, and even gambling houses are spreading rumors about it.

Some people with ulterior motives even said that this was a clean-up strategy jointly carried out by aristocratic groups and national power organizations, with the purpose of killing the poor and some civilians.

The above remarks are not groundless - in this national war, the vast majority of the participants in Airui City are poor people and civilians, and only a few are nobles and concubines, and they all serve as commanders.

The idea of ​​a clean-up strategy has spread very quickly in Airui City. How fast is it exactly? Let's put it this way, even in some remote areas, some people are spreading this statement.

Although the status of the aristocratic group and the national power organization in the top echelons of Airui City has not been reduced much due to the 'clean-up strategy', among the people, it has already become a problem on the streets.

And this is precisely the worst situation.

On the surface, as long as the status of the country's top leaders is not shaken, it doesn't matter whether the public's opinions are good or bad.

But this is not the case.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. This is not just talk.

Although the top leaders of the country are in charge of the military, once the people rebel, the military may not be useful.

After all, not all the family members of soldiers are soldiers, but more often civilians.

Although the national power organization is powerful, it is not powerful enough to destroy towns and countries with a wave of hands.

As long as it hasn't reached that level, it can still be destroyed by human sea tactics.

Therefore, as long as the public reputation of the aristocratic group and the national power organization is brought to a freezing point, Carter Horton will be able to take back the state power from the hands of these two organizations in an instant.

However, this is also risky, that is, Carter Horton is too weak. Even if he can regain power, he will definitely encounter great risks, such as counterattacks by aristocratic groups and national power organizations.

If his strength could be 80% that of Simmons Locke, there would be no need to worry about this. However, his strength is very weak, and he does not even have the power of transformation, let alone the aristocratic group and the national power organization. Under such circumstances, even a group of assassin adventurers who have just reached level 10 can assassinate him.

Once there is a counterattack by the national power organization and the aristocratic group, the defense force around Carter Horton will definitely be vacant, unless Simmons Locke's people are used to protect him, but can he really trust Simmons Locke?

I'm afraid not necessarily.

Unlike Carter Horton, who was relaxed and worried, the aristocratic group and national power organization in Moonlight City were truly worried.

They were worried because as soon as Moonlight City intervened in the battlefield, they suffered a brutal sniper attack. Half of the tens of thousands of people who went to the battlefield were lost in this war.

Almost all of the remaining adventurers were injured.

If this national war continues to this day, Dasai City can barely be regarded as a small victory, York City can barely be regarded as a small defeat, and Airui City can barely be regarded as a major defeat, then Moonlight City can be regarded as a complete defeat. .

A major defeat may have little impact on the reputation of the aristocratic group and the national power organization among the people, but if the defeat continues, the people of Moonlight City will be disappointed in the aristocratic group and the national power organization.

Once disappointed, any trust will cease to exist.

The power level in Moonlight City is bound to be reshuffled, and after this reshuffle, the national power organization and the aristocratic group will be kicked out.

Although they have not yet reached the worst situation, the unfavorable start has become a dark cloud lingering above their heads.
