78. A name that shocked the world
On April 1, 1882, on this seemingly ordinary day, something happened that shocked the entire Miracle Continent.
The Peace Assembly, down.
When the news broke, no one or organization dared to believe it, except for a few people who already knew the inside story. In the eyes of almost everyone, the news was simply a prank, a joke, and a very bad joke.
The Peace Council has been in existence for tens of thousands of years, and since the end of the Ash Age, it has been trying to make the entire Wonder Continent peaceful and stable. Many people may not know it, but it is very clear in the hearts of some people that without the contribution of the Peace Council, the most chaotic and chaotic era after the Age of Ashes may continue for thousands of years.
It can be said that the Peace Council, despite being an organization of madmen, has made an indelible contribution by bringing the end of the era of chaos thousands of years earlier. However, it is precisely because of this great contribution that the Peace Council has developed a crazy and domineering organizational style, believing that they are the real saviors.
No one can say whether to be grateful or to resent the Peace Council.
But the only thing that is certain is that the more powerful countries will never like the Peace Parliament, while the smaller countries will very much like the Peace Parliament.
The reason is simple.
The Peace Council, which strives for stability, is a roadblock to the development and progress of more powerful kingdoms and empires. But for those small countries, peace parliaments are the cornerstone of their continued survival and stable development.
But both for those large countries. Nor for those small countries, no one believes that the Peace Assembly will be destroyed.
Especially. The news is still coming from Deaththorn.
Dead Thorns Wipe Out the Peace Council?
Hahaha, this is probably the funniest joke since the creation of the Miracle Continent.
Most. At the end of the day's work, I would go to the tavern to buy wine and get drunk.
Today, however, many people who have nothing to do with it gather at the tavern at noon to drink and share the funniest joke they have heard today since the beginning of the century.
A middle-aged man with a beard is chatting in the tavern, telling stories about his days as an adventurer, with occasional exaggerated body movements. However, not everyone was happy to see his exaggerated body movements, because with his movements, the large wine glass in his hand would always spill some wine and splash it on other people.
"Hey. Old Kugil, you're bragging again. Some people laughed and said whether it was malicious or good.
"What bragging, what I say is the truth!" The bearded man's face turned red, and he didn't know if he was drunk or angry, "How can you slander me!" ”
"What slander?" Someone laughed again, and his voice was obviously not the person who had just coaxed him, "I just drank with the heroic regiment commander a few days ago, and I heard what he said with my own ears. You didn't quit the group with an injury like you said, and you can only fool others here. Old man, who doesn't know what's going on with you. ”
The bearded man's face became even redder, and this time it should be certain that it was red, because the green tendons on his forehead appeared. His face also looked particularly hideous: "I was hit by an arrow in the knee, why can't it be regarded as injured?" I couldn't even walk at that time, so why can't I be considered injured and leave the group? I'm a ranger. I can't walk with an arrow in my knee, what else can I do! ”
Followed by. It was another burst of words that were difficult for others to understand.
Words such as "once witnessed the amazing swordsmanship of a young man named Sean", "drank fine wine at the Wine and Sword Tavern", "also had a good conversation with Elekate of the Eternal Night", and "once led the way for a man named Ruby" caused everyone present to burst into laughter. No one will take the words of old Kugill to heart. As if he was bragging again, the whole tavern was soon filled with a cheerful atmosphere again, even more festive than usual at night.
"I, I still know a big news!" The bearded man shouted, "The Peace Council has been cleared of death thorns!" ”
"Hahaha!"
The laughter in the tavern became louder, and this time, whether or not they had participated in the coaxing of old Kugil just now, they all laughed. And the vast majority of people, looking at the old Kugil's eyes are full of sympathy, and many people who see the old Kugil for the first time shake their heads, obviously having a more intuitive impression of him: unreliable.
"Old Kugil, are you taking us for fools?" Someone laughed and said, "We don't know what the death thorn is, but if such a powerful organization as the Peace Council is still being wiped out?" Hahaha, old Kugil, you're blowing too much. ”
"Hahaha, old Kugill is treating us all for fools." Someone else laughed, "Is today an April fool's holiday?" ”
"Happy April Fool's Day!" Someone else raised his glass and shouted, but at least a third of it was spilled in a glass of ale.
"Happy April Fool's Day!" Soon, a large group of people began to respond.
The people in the tavern began to laugh and laugh, and many of their brains had begun to be paralyzed by alcohol, and they could no longer even think normally. They just shouted words like "Happy April Fool's Day", and then gulped down wine, munched on meat, and occasionally uttered a few words, either so confused that others could not understand them, or the story that completely blew the cowhide at the beginning.
Soon, the idea of April Fool's Day spread from the tavern and began to circulate throughout the city.
Many people began to play jokes of a very bad nature with each other, and even the aristocratic women enjoyed this little game that had spread from the commoners, whom they had always looked down upon. And the biggest victory is how many people can be deceived and what kind of panic it can cause.
However, compared to the commoners who drank and had fun, and some nobles who did not have enough contact, those who were really qualified to know the inside story. There is no such relaxed mentality.
In front of many people, there is a more detailed intelligence document.
Perhaps the level of detail of this intelligence document varies. But at least it proves better that this is not an April Fool's joke, but that the Peace Council was officially destroyed just two days ago. And those who work together to completely eradicate the entire Peace Council. It is led by the Void Principality, uniting the tripartite forces of the Death Thorn and the Chainas Empire, among which the war between the Void Principality and the Fascist Kingdom is used as the fuse of this incident.
In this conspiring war, the base camp of the Peace Council was directly attacked by Death Thorns, and the seven Peace Saints of the Heavenly Chamber were killed and two were seriously injured, and only one person escaped, but the one who escaped was also in a state of near-death and serious injuries, and obviously it would not last long. As for the eight peace envoys who are still active on the Miracle Continent, they have also been encircled and killed by various encirclements and attacks at the same time. Among them, the greatest losses were the Celestial Guards sent to the fascist kingdom.
Four peacemakers and twenty golden-robed executors have all fallen.
On this intelligence document, there are only a few lines of news about the collapse of the Peace Council, but the content revealed inside is definitely enough to be regarded as shocking.
No one can ignore the weight of this intelligence document.
The Peace Council, which occupies an extremely important position on the Miracle Continent and has been rampant for tens of thousands of years, has collapsed like this?
The legendary genius who had high hopes for the entire Peace Council, and was even rumored to be likely to succeed one of the seven seats in the future, Christina. F. Fisher, just died in the Void Grand Duke. Sean. Connery's hand?
Countless people feel unbelievable.
There are even more people who hope that this is really a joke, an April Fool's joke.
But the big men who had the right to look through the intelligence documents knew - at least their sanity told them clearly. It's really not a joke.
At least, countless people remember a name today.
Sean. Connelly. The king of the future Void Empire.
Yes, at this moment. Whether it is those organizations on the active continents, or the kingdoms and principalities on those continents. They all knew clearly that it was a matter of time before the Void Duchy was upgraded to an empire, and no one in the Southern Continent could stop them. Because the two empires that are truly qualified and capable of preventing the Void Duchy from ascending to an empire are both mired in different wars.
The Millennial Covenant Empire, at this moment, is fighting against the army of undead from the corpse plane, although it has the support of many Church Knights, but the battle situation is not as smooth as imagined, because there are too many people who fish in troubled waters and do not obey orders, even the commander of the Millennium Covenant, which is as strong as one of the great empires, cannot order these Church Knights, otherwise it is impossible to be dragged into the quagmire of war.
Especially as the war went on and the number of deaths increased significantly, this only strengthened the army of the undead.
As for the other empire, the Chainas Empire, it had officially declared war on the fascist kingdom, and then sent troops without waiting for the official general order to end - while the Peace Council was still in existence, any country had to declare war at least a month in advance, giving the enemy country sufficient time to prepare, and at least to prevent the people from dying in the war.
But now, after the Peace Council was completely destroyed by the Death Thorn, the Chainas Empire only sent troops directly after issuing a declaration of war, and did not give the Fascist Kingdom any time to prepare at all. Of course, it will not give the other side any chance to find diplomatic means, and in just one day, the army of the Chainas Empire has conquered three fortresses on the border of the fascist kingdom one after another, and has taken a territory close to a standard duchy territory.
The enmity between the Chainas Empire and the fascist kingdom has been going on for a long time, but no one knows what exactly caused it. The only thing that can be known is that at the peak of hatred, the Chainas Empire directly launched an invasion war against the fascist kingdom, and this one-sided war was forcibly intervened by the Peace Council just when the Chainas Empire was about to win a great victory.
So, now that the Peace Council has fallen, the Chainas Empire finally has no worries - and most importantly, all the forces sent by the Peace Council to the fascist kingdom have fallen. This also means that the fascist kingdom no longer has a high-end power that can be compared with the Chainas Empire, and may be able to fight with the Chainas Empire in terms of military strength, but once the super strong intervene in the battlefield, there will be no suspense.
This is the real war.
Therefore, at this moment, neither the Thousand-Year Covenant Empire nor the Chainas Empire would go to trouble the Void Duchy, let alone prevent him from being upgraded to an empire. Of course, needless to say, in many people's intelligence documents, there is also important information that the Void Principality took the lead, and cooperated with Deaththorn and the Chainas Empire to destroy the Peace Council, so in terms of human feelings alone, the Chainas Empire owes the Void Principality a great favor.
Perhaps, it won't be long before the Void Principality will be called the Void Empire.
It's just that the only thing that still makes people wonder is how the Void Duchy is going to become an empire, whether it will replace one of the old seven empires, or an eighth empire.
If the former is the former, then according to the general code of the law of nobility, at least half of the empires, that is, four empires, must be approved before it can become the eighth empire. On the contrary, it still retains the seat of the Seven Great Empires, but the Void Duchy will definitely compete with the Porudo Empire or the Thetan Empire for this place.
In the eyes of many, the Void Principality will inevitably follow the latter route, and will definitely pick the Porudo Empire, which is currently the most declining and has the greatest chance of replacing it. It's just that in this way, the Void Principality will have to set up a lot of enemies - there are not many of the great kingdoms that are aiming at the position of the Porudo Empire in the turmoil, at least there are more than ten super-first-class kingdoms that are currently qualified to compete for this imperial seat.
But anyway, Sean. The name Connally is destined to truly resound throughout the Miracle Continent at this moment.
Because even if countless people don't want to admit it, the Peace Council, which has been active on the Miracle Continent since the end of the Ashes Era, has indeed led the development of the entire Miracle Continent, and it can be regarded as a product of an era. And with the fall of the Council of Peace, it also represents the end of the old era and the beginning of a new era - the kings of the great empires and kingdoms will thank Sean for bringing them more hope; And the kings of those small kingdoms and small principalities will hate Sean, because he brings them not hope, but deep despair.
Sean. Connery, who ended an old era and ushered in a new one.
It is a name destined to be recorded in the annals of history.
It is also a name that is destined to shock the world. (To be continued.) )
