Chapter 902: Fall
65_65368 Perhaps today is the darkest day for the Council of Six since they came to power, and although there have been no civilian riots in the history of Pheron, it is the first time that they have been trapped in the council building, especially as time goes on, the shouts outside are getting louder and louder, and even some arrogant guys have shouted slogans to get them down.
As the supreme ruler of the whole of Am, they must show strength and determination to everyone, otherwise not to mention the Tassel who is eyeing the south, the restless civilians in the country alone can cause great trouble.
You must know that as a country with a mixture of feudal and parliamentary systems, there have always been huge and irreconcilable contradictions within Am, first of all, the conflict between the emerging merchant class and the primitive landed aristocracy, followed by the conflict between the laborers and the merchants, and the conflict between the aristocracy and the peasants often broke out for various reasons, usually relying on prosperous trade and seemingly powerful force to mediate it, but now......
The entire shopping mall was basically destroyed by the rioting people, and it is estimated that as soon as the situation calms down a little, a large number of merchants will flee immediately, and they don't expect to receive much business tax in the next six months, so these contradictions will soon break out one by one, and as long as there is a little weakness at this moment, Am's will immediately be full of smoke.
After a long silence, one of the councillors sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that we must pay some price now in exchange for Henry Angome's support. I have two plans here, one is to let him annex the land north of the Esmir River to the Kingdom of West Hartland, which was originally his domain anyway......"
Before he could finish his words, another councillor immediately stood up and slapped the table and shouted, "No! It was Am's last granary, and it could never be ceded again. Otherwise, our food will be subject to man, so even if it is only in name, it must be guaranteed that it belongs to Am. ā
"That's right, the northern region can't cede land anymore, otherwise we will lose the natural barrier of the Yunwu Mountains."
Seeing that most people did not agree with this plan, the first congressman to speak nodded with a wry smile: "Okay, then there is only the second one, and that is the overseas colonies." We gave away as a gift the latest stronghold in the southern part of the Aztec continent, which now has just over 4,000 inhabitants anyway. The scale is not too large, and no minerals have been found for the time being, so the only way to profit is to grow tobacco and sugar cane. ā
"Damn! That's a New World commodity! You can bring at least 300,000 gold coins every year! Whether it's cane sugar or tobacco, it's always in short supply! Another lawmaker cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth.
Everyone here knows very well that there are two pillars of Am's economic prosperity, one is the Old World trade, that is, the two maritime trade routes to Waterdeep City in the north and Karinshan in the south, and the second is the colonial trade in the Aztec continent, including tobacco, coffee, sugar, gold, silver, precious stones, etc., almost more than 60% of the tax revenue.
Although the coastal states had one or two colonies in the New World. But none of them can compare with Am, so Amm is the direct beneficiary of the trade in the New World, and now he has to share a part with others. Naturally, I couldn't go anywhere in my heart, and I didn't scold directly, which was quite educated.
However, some things do not happen if you don't want to, and after the six people who hold the highest power in the entire country look at each other for a few minutes, the parliamentarian in charge of presiding over the meeting gritted his teeth and said: "The old rule, vote by show of hands, and the minority obeys the majority." Now, if you agree to cede the new colony on the Aztec continent, please raise your hand. ā
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"It's better to cede a colony than to cede the land north of the Esmir River, and I agree!"
"I'm against it! Could it be that Henry Angome would dare to really invade Am? ā
"Don't die, he now has unrivaled power. If a large number of untouchables shout the slogan that he should be King Amm again, then it is tantamount to giving the other party an excuse to be righteous and bright, so we must not take any chances, and I agree! ā
"With five votes in favor and one against, I declare the resolution official, and immediately send it to the messenger of Baldur's Gate, whatever method he may use. Let the Angome family sign an agreement. After saying that, the councilor's face suddenly changed, and he slapped the table fiercely and roared loudly: "The next thing we have to discuss is how to suppress those rioting untouchables outside!" Did you dispel the matter, or did you teach them a hard lesson with death? ā
The Council of Six may be terrified of a powerful legendary spellcaster, but they don't care about a hundred or twenty thousand civilians, after all, war is not simply a matter of numbers. Three thousand Am's elite soldiers are enough to suppress and suppress fifty thousand ordinary people with weapons in their hands, and this is the confidence that they can sit here.
"Dispel it. If there are too many casualties and it is easy to exacerbate the turmoil of the situation, what we need to do now is to calm down the situation first, and as for the so-called mutual aid association, it must be dissolved, and the organizers must be severely punished. One MP was the first to express his opinion.
Another councillor also nodded and agreed: "What you said makes sense, restoring order is the top priority at the moment, we can't let these guys continue to make trouble, and the shadow thief must also move, let Renault's bloody head track down the truth of this matter, and no one involved can let go." ā
"What about the lost goods? Those miscellaneous debris outside looted eighty percent of the shops in the business district! We'll have to be tough this time, or something like this will happen sooner or later. My building yƬ is to kill! Give these bastards a taste of it! ā
"I also agree with being tough, let the army unleash its hands and feet, anyway, the situation is already bad and can't be worse, it's better to take this opportunity to establish authority."
Suddenly, the Council was divided into two factions, one believing that the matter should be pacified, and the other believing that a bloody crackdown with thunderous means was about to be ushered in, and neither could convince the other.
Just as there was a stalemate, a shout suddenly erupted from outside the building, and it turned out that the time limit of half an hour was up.
Unremarkably furious, the unanswered civilians launched a fierce charge from all sides, instantly engaging the troops guarding the entrance, killing a dozen people in a matter of seconds. The blood and screams stimulated everyone's nerves, and the scene became more and more chaotic.
However, they didn't notice that Lindell, the initiator of the demonstration, quietly opened a small bottle filled with pink gas, and it was the gas that volatilized from it that caused countless people to lose their minds and move forward like a madman.
Seeing that the conflict had completely erupted, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. With a sinister smile, he took the opportunity to blend in with the crowd and run in the direction of Nessis's mansion.
"Rush! Kill these bastards! We want to reclaim our own qiÄ! ā
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Slaughter all these vampires! They don't deserve to live! ā
"Ahh I'm hurt! Who's going to help me! ā
"Hands! My hand was cut off! Ahh!!hhhhh ā
ā¦ā¦
As the scuffle was in full swing, it didn't take long for blood and corpses to pile up in the garden at the entrance of the council building, and Arnomen was stunned at first, then covered his face and shouted in pain: "Oh my God! Heim is on top! What did I do! What did I do!!!! ā
He couldn't believe how the supposed demonstrations had turned into riots.
In just a few minutes, Lord Hog-headed felt the power of the priest in his body begin to weaken rapidly, and it was clear that this represented the deity of his faith, dissatisfied with the chaotic situation in front of him.
As the god of guards, Heim doesn't mind good or evil, though. However, the requirements for order are very strict, and organizing and initiating a riot is precisely the extreme act of disrupting order, so it is light not to completely lose the profession of priest.
Panicky! Confused! Disappointed!
All kinds of negative feelings instantly surged from the bottom of my heart. Soon it made Anomen's mental state extremely unstable, maybe a few words of enlightenment from someone at this moment could make him calm down and reflect on what he was wrong, after all, young people sometimes make mistakes, coupled with the influence of the Dellin family, in the end, he will be able to turn big things into small things and small things.
But unfortunately, this is a big scuffle, and the soldiers he trained are forming a formation to fight with Am's elite soldiers. Someone dies every moment, and all the subordinates who are unwilling to die make this young man with an excessive sense of justice feel like a knife, thinking that this qiÄ is his responsibility.
As the saying goes, when a person's pressure exceeds the limit, they often make some unbelievable moves, only to see Sir Pig's Head suddenly roar, pick up the mace and shield and rush straight into the battlefield, and in the blink of an eye, the heads of the two Amber soldiers were smashed to pieces. Immediately after that, he took the lead in the charge towards the council building.
He had undergone rigorous training by the Knights of the Warmest Heart, so ordinary soldiers were no opponents at all, and they were killed and wounded all at once, and the formation was torn apart.
The rioting crowd saw that someone was so powerful, and hurriedly followed closely behind. Hula poured into the council building and slaughtered the officials inside.
If someone blesses arcane vision at this moment, it will be immediately noticed. The white light of Anomon's body, which symbolizes goodness and order, is gradually disappearing, replaced by a crimson light that symbolizes chaos and evil.
There is no doubt that he has completely degenerated, and even took the initiative to move closer to evil, killing people without mercy, even women, and after a few minutes, it was like a different person, exuding a chilling aura all the time, and even the people of the mutual aid association did not dare to approach lightly.
Apparently, after a nervous breakdown, Anomen made a crazy decision to help the Mutual Aid overthrow the entire ruling class of Am, even if it was with blood on his hands.
The dark red blood slowly slid down the shiny armor, and with a stern face, he took off the badge of the Knights on his chest and showed a sneer, and then threw it directly on the ground full of corpses, completely saying goodbye to his past identity, and at the same time, the ring symbolizing the identity of Dellin's heir was discarded.
A terrifying storm is about to sweep across Am......
