Chapter 720 Emancipation Proclamation

Inside the palace, the generals of the Great Xia Empire were in an uproar because Fernandez I announced a shocking news.

The parchment was passed from hand to hand, and exclamations came one after another.

Obviously, this decision was too shocking.

Is the kingdom that claims to be illuminated by the glory of God and the most legal royal family really going to fall completely?

Many people find it hard to accept. If it weren't for their loyalty to Fernandez I, I'm afraid someone would have drawn a sword against him.

At this time, Fernandez I's foresight was reflected.

Those unstable elements, no matter how loyal they are, cannot be left.

It just so happens that using their lives can not only deceive the Great Xia Empire, but also make other lords in the United Kingdom work hard.

Until this time, the dagger was revealed.

Fernandez I no longer cares about the thoughts of individuals. He has laid out perfectly for twenty years, and now it is time to reap the harvest.

Originally, this was his ultimate trump card, which was to be used to establish a new empire in the New World after defeating the Great Xia Expeditionary Force and taking advantage of the great prestige after the victory.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Great Xia Expeditionary Force exceeded expectations, and he had to lower his expectations.

"Everyone, we have no choice, we have no way out, we need to unite all the forces that can be united and defeat the Great Xia Empire, otherwise God's glory will not only be dim, but God's authority will also be stolen."

Fernandez I did the final ideological work. Many traditional nobles who believed in God firmly opposed him because Derek acted in the name of God.

Not everyone can accept God's coming to the world, so this opposition is particularly firm.

Fernandez I discussed with the last military nobles for a long time and finally convinced them.

For them, there is really no way to retreat now, and victory is the only way out.

Otherwise, many people will really go into exile in the Western Continent and completely lose power.

The Western Continent is different from the New Continent. Even if they are weak, they also have their own cultural heritage.

It is difficult for outsiders to enslave them like they enslave black slaves, and they may even be rejected in return.

The best result is to go into exile and become a mascot, or to mingle in the middle and lower classes.

This is unacceptable to the nobles.

Some people just want to live.

Some people want more.

Outside the palace, Antoine and many Buk generals waited for most of the day, and they even missed lunch.

No one knows what is happening in the palace.

But everyone knows that something big is brewing.

At this time, everyone is just a small boat in the sea, drifting with the tide.

This feeling of not being able to control one's own destiny makes people feel extremely distressed.

When the palace door creaked open, Antoine breathed a sigh of relief.

It is better to be dead or alive than to hold on to one's breath.

It was also the first time that he felt the taste of power so strongly, and the previous choice seemed a bit stupid.

For the first time, a certain sprout grew freely.

At the last moment, someone had already backed out and whispered in Antoine's ear: "Your Highness, shall we... go in?"

Antoine did not even turn his head, and said firmly: "Of course we should go in, believe me... nothing will happen."

So he took the lead and walked into the palace.

Fernandez I had been waiting for a long time. He was dressed in a gorgeous outfit, surrounded by military nobles.

The lights of the cameras kept flashing, leaving one photo after another.

Inexplicably, Antoine was relieved. This did not seem to be a bad thing.

Fernandez I took a deep breath, took out the parchment, and spoke.

"I, Fernandez I, King of the New Holy United Kingdom, King of the New Holy Cross Kingdom, Sword Bearer of God, Protector of the Booker Clan, today once again announce... the abolition of the citizen hierarchy system and the granting of freedom to all lives.

From today on, all those who are occupied and enslaved in any territory where the local people are still resisting the Great Xia Empire shall be free at that time and forever thereafter; the New Holy United Kingdom and the free territory will recognize and guarantee the freedom of these people, and will not suppress them when they or any of them make any efforts for their own freedom.

..."

The Booker Clan generals were stunned, happiness came too suddenly, so suddenly that they could not believe it.

What they fought for was to promote a king of Booker blood and then open up the channel for promotion.

But Fernandez I did it even harder, and he removed the reins from their necks.

The citizen hierarchy system not only restricted ordinary black slaves, but also lost the opportunity for promotion for these officers.

Now that the citizen hierarchy system has been abolished, even if there will still be various discriminations, at least everyone is equal on the surface, which is a very critical step.

Then, Fernandez I announced the reorganization of the army on the spot.

This time, no one objected, and everyone was waiting with joy.

For the first time, an ordinary Buk was promoted to general and became the chief officer of a division and a brigade.

The division composed entirely of Buk announced that the New Holy United Kingdom had entered a new era.

Everything was like a dream.

The Buk, who were originally at odds with each other, instantly became believers of Fernandez I.

Finally, Fernandez I shouted: "In the name of God, all God's people unite, defeat the evil Great Xia Empire, and rescue tens of millions of slaves!"

The slavery system of the Great Xia Empire has become the target of concentrated fire.

At least for now, everyone will unite to fight against evil.

After all, Fernandez I liberated the black slaves, and the military nobles wanted to keep their power, and the lords did not want to lose their territories.

It just so happened that what the Great Xia Empire wanted was territory, power and slaves.

If the New Holy United Kingdom could not be preserved, the most cherished things of each of them would be taken away.

Therefore, as Fernandez I said, they had no way out and had to hold together tightly.

When a large number of officers walked out of the palace, the synchronized newspapers had begun to print.

The news will spread in all directions and cause a huge wave.

When Qin saw the newspapers delivered by plane from the front line, the front-page headline was an inflammatory text written by a Booker hybrid.

This mixed-blood man had obviously been suppressed for a long time, and until now he had turned over and become the master, his writing was full of talent.

"... All free people will surely win the final victory.

This is civilization defeating barbarism, this is advancement defeating backwardness, this is the trend of the times.

We are united as one, and we will surely defeat the decadent slave empire and build a new world of freedom and democracy.

..."
