Chapter 511 Rebuilding the Country (Twenty-Seven)

"Kayi Morlan".

This name, which was forgotten by Maplestone City not long ago, is now a household name.

Thanks to the printing press of a kind-hearted "big shot", at least tens of thousands of copies of "The Great Escape" - a pamphlet about how Kai Morlan escaped from the Castle of Kings with a narrow escape - were put on the market in Maplestone City, and the number was even more than the number of literate people in Maplestone City.

This saturation propaganda strategy directly led to two results:

First, "The Great Escape" quickly spread from Maplestone City to neighboring counties and even the next province. Whether it was the patrols of the New Reclamation Corps or the checkpoints of the government forces of the Castle of Kings, they searched the familiar straw papers from the pockets and backpacks of travelers more and more frequently;

And, Councillor Kai Morlan, who was gradually forgotten because of his "exile" to the Castle of Kings, became the most famous person in Maplestone City.

From military and political leaders to peddlers, whenever there was a chance to chat, most people would talk about Kai Moreland.

People sat around the table, listening with relish to their literate companions sharing the latest issue of "The Great Escape", arguing over which plots in the story were true and which were false, and secretly speculating on the purpose of someone's generous "sponsorship" of Kai Moreland's book.

Even the free men from other counties who came to the meeting, in the infiltration of this wave of public opinion, followed the local citizens to hear a lot about Kai Moreland's early years of repeatedly opposing the New Reclamation Army and eventually being "exiled" to the Kings Castle to sit on the bench.

But "hearing about" Kai Moreland's person and deeds is one thing, and "knowing" Kai Moreland is another.

At least when the man of medium build, curly hair, and blue eyes walked down the stairs and calmly stood on the bench, the free men of the New Reclamation who were present felt very unfamiliar.

Free men, who were generally middle-aged, could hardly associate the handsome young man in his early thirties with bright eyes in the trial seat with the "Councilman Kai Moreland" in the street talk, stories and pamphlets.

But at this moment, in this situation, the free men of New Reclamation had to believe that this man was Kai Moreland.

Surprised and surprised, confused and relieved, Kai Moreland's unexpected appearance was like a flash of lightning that illuminated the night, making a large number of free men such as Richard of Blackwater Town restless again.

For the free men of the New Reclamation Army, who were full of resentment, they were surprised to see the appearance of a person who did not belong to the New Reclamation Army and was obviously not in the New Reclamation Army's plan.

Anything that could cause trouble to the New Reclamation Army would make them feel a sense of revenge.

On the other hand, they did not understand why Kai Moreland came to the public trial, and even more did not understand why Kai Moreland "asked for trial".

But at the moment, the most important question is not "why", but "how it was done".

Kai Morlan, isn't he being held under house arrest by the New Reclamation Corps? How did he escape from the Corps' custody? How did he get through the layers of guards and enter this large meeting hall?

The smart free man immediately recalled the rumors he had heard before, especially the gossip about the sponsor behind Kai Morlan. He was shocked and subconsciously cast his eyes to the front row of the Tiefeng County seating area, to the other protagonist in the rumor, to the younger and more legendary figure than Kai Morlan - Winters Montagne, Wolf Blood.

Not only the free men of New Reclamation were associated with the same rumor.

As early as Kai Morlan just stepped into the meeting room, the one-eyed military police officer in charge of maintaining order looked at Colonel Gesar and silently asked whether to take down this uninvited guest.

However, Colonel Gesar, who was furious, ignored his subordinates' request, but glared fiercely at the bastard boy who was sitting on the other side of the meeting room as if nothing had happened.

Facing Colonel Gesar's razor-sharp gaze that could scratch blood on a person's face, Winters just nodded slightly, and then continued to sit upright, ignoring anyone's inquiries.

Colonel Gesar clenched his fist and then unclenched it, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded to his subordinates.

After receiving the instruction, the one-eyed military police officer waved his hand calmly, calling off his subordinates who were as tense as an arrow on a string. However, the one-eyed military police officer himself did not relax. He held his sword tightly and closely observed the slightest movement in the meeting hall.

In the Great Council Hall, undercurrents surged.

Some people were furious, but due to the occasion, they could not immediately attack; some people gloated over the misfortune, hoping that the various parties in the legion would tear their faces and make a big fuss.

But most people were still surprised, stunned, and puzzled.

The most unprepared among them was Colonel Skull Mecklen on the judge's bench.

Many years ago, when Schull Mecklen had just graduated from the Army Academy, his file was mercilessly written with another sentence behind "deep thinking and outstanding eloquence" as "good at planning, but poor at dealing with situations".

Colonel Schull Mecklen was sure that the name "Kay Moran" was not on the list of those on trial, and he had not prepared any plan for the trial of Kai Moran.

Colonel Schull looked at several colleagues in the meeting:

Winters Montagne sat upright with his knees supported, looking at ease, like a deep well, taking in the eyes from all directions, but not showing any ripples;

Gesa Adonis clasped his arms tightly, gritting his teeth and staring at Kai Morelan, who was smiling on the bench. The blood vessels on his scalp bulged, and the muscles on his cheeks throbbed. If the Great Council Hall was not full, Gesa would probably have eaten Kai Morelan alive on the spot;

As for Matthias Korwin, he was also looking at Colonel Skull.

The four eyes met, and both saw the same surprise and surprise in each other's eyes.

After realizing that Colonel Skull didn't know why Kai Morelan appeared in the meeting, Lieutenant Colonel Matthias shook his head slowly but firmly at the senior.

Colonel Skull understood, and Matthias Korwin conveyed a clear attitude: "Don't get entangled with Kai Morelan, regain control of the situation as soon as possible, and complete the reading of the new charter."

Seeing that Senior Skull did not act immediately, Matthias Korwin made a prompt decision and made a gesture to the adjutant beside him, indicating that he would do it himself.

A light cough interrupted Lieutenant Colonel Matthias's action, and also drew the attention of everyone in the Great Council back to Colonel Skool Mekron on the judge's seat.

Colonel Skool used his eyes to signal his junior to be patient, then picked up the broken gavel and knocked it.

The force of his knocking was just right, not too light or too heavy, not too fast or too slow, and it was neither angry nor made the audience under the dome feel awe-inspiring.

Indeed, Skool Mekron did not think he was good at "making decisions on the spot and adapting to circumstances".

However, he was no longer the young boy who had just graduated from school.

It was too easy to think of Skool Mekron as someone who wanted to defeat him with a sudden attack.

"Are you asking for trial?" Skool Mekron looked down at Kai Morlan and asked coldly, "What crime have you committed?"
