Chapter 740: Time to flip the table
June 16, 782 in the mainland calendar, overcast.
Before dawn, all the people in Ailanz got up early, and many people had dark circles on their faces, obviously because they didn't sleep well at night.
The traversers were not affected much. They were accustomed to the idea of "XX counts as a ball" and were able to view various world events with a very peaceful attitude. This attitude was probably the so-called "normal heart".
If this attitude can be maintained on Earth, it is estimated that even if the third world war breaks out, they will not panic, but will go to the supermarket to search for supplies, and then find a basement to huddle up, and feel at ease. For a few years, wait for the war to end.
"I feel more and more that we are developing in the direction of 'Buddhism'." said Cervantes, the natural guardian who did not participate in the development of the world of Mad God, "Seeing that such a big thing is about to happen, not only did I not feel A little moved, and even a little wanted to laugh."
"We're all skinny!"
"How about we change our name to 'Pippi Shrimp Legion' in the future?"
"...And then every time they were about to go out, they would collectively shout 'Pipi Shrimp, let's go'?"
"This is possible!"
"This is really not good!"
"I think this is good..."
A group of people habitually strayed from the topic, and then the topic went off somewhere. After a while, they were already discussing "to make authentic Liangpi, is it better to use rice or mung bean", which has nothing to do with Airantz's independence.
However, the conversation was full of energy, full of interest, and spit.
Finally, Liu Daoqing couldn't stand it any longer and said, "It's about to go to war. It's a little inappropriate for you to talk about food and drink?"
Everyone just woke up like a dream and came back to their senses.
"That seems to be the case..."
"Talk about war, talk about war."
"What's there to talk about in a war? It's just that the Thracians come over, let's fight, and then find a chance to fight the Frost Sword Saint. Is there anything to talk about?"
"That seems to be the case..."
"Old Bai, why do you keep saying this over and over again?"
"MP is limited and can't say much."
"Aren't you from the legal system? The legal system doesn't even have enough MP for chatting?"
"His level is low, I'm afraid he hasn't exceeded level ten."
"Damn it! This is really talented!"
"... There are still ten levels."
"Damn it! You're really only in the tenth grade? You're so lazy!"
Liu Daoqing sighed deeply: "Don't digress again! It's going to be a war!"
Just as he was struggling to maintain the chatting order, Katarina, the head of the Elanz family, was already sitting in the conference room and opened the projection array.
Today, the twice-monthly noble meeting of the Thracian Kingdom will be held. Even if the nobles above the count cannot attend in person, they will send envoys to attend the meeting, or use projection spells like her to attend the meeting.
It is said that for meetings like this, the big nobles usually arrive later - this is the convention, the higher the status, the later. But today, she was almost the first to arrive.
In the aristocratic meeting hall of Thrace City, Katarina's magical image sat on the innermost layer of the large circular table, alongside Pieduc and Thrace.
This was the rule set at the time of the founding of the country. The three major families had at least equal seats at the noble meeting.
But in fact, it has long been unequal. The chairs of the Ailanz and Pieduts are inlaid with silver, while the seats of the Thracian family are inlaid with gold.
Soon, the nobles or their representatives arrived one by one. Seeing that the Ailanz family came so early, many people felt puzzled. Some who heard the wind before, or were more clever, had vaguely guessed a few points, and their faces were solemn. Some people even took out the magic props and sent the news.
The action efficiency of the great nobles is still very fast, and for this reason, it didn't take long for everyone to arrive. Compared with the usual time for the official meeting to be close to noon, today's meeting was held very early.
At the beginning of the meeting, Katerina spoke first without waiting for an old nobleman who served as the host to speak.
"I announce one thing." She took a deep breath, and in a completely flat tone, she bluntly said what she had practiced many times in advance, "From now on, the Ayrantz family will withdraw from the Thracian kingdom, will build our own country."
After she finished speaking, she turned off the magic communication and quit the meeting without waiting for others to react.
Once the magic communication was closed, she could no longer maintain the rigid expression on her face, and couldn't help laughing.
"Hahahaha! So happy!" She smiled very proudly, her face full of joy, "I wanted to do this for a long time!"
"What?" Liu Daoqing's eyes widened when he heard it. "What do you mean by 'I wanted to do this for a long time'? Did you always intend to be independent from Thrace?"
"No, I mean, I wanted to be there early when the noble meeting was held, and then without waiting for the host to speak, I had finished what I had to say, and then left the stage and left... cleanly, without giving it to others at all. Opposition or a chance to bargain!" Katerina's eyes were shining, her face was full of joy, her shoulders were shaking with laughter, so Liu Daoqing's eyes were firmly attracted to her chest.
But others won't be attracted, Sage Lopez sighed: "You should wait a little longer and see how they react."
"Yeah, at least we have to see who is willing to support us." Pied also said.
"How could anyone dare to support us at the noble meeting!" Otto laughed, "Even if they support it, they will only support it privately, and if they jump out at the noble meeting, wouldn't that be a scapegoat! Thrace can't do anything about us, It's okay to kill them."
"Gu Liu, what do you think?" Katerina asked.
Only then did Liu Daoqing come back to his senses, rolled his eyes, and said, "I think this is good. Anyway, those who really want to support us will definitely contact us privately. If there is no contact, just treat them as not supporting us."
"In that case, there will be too many people who don't support us," said Pied, frowning.
"According to our plan, we were originally going to fight against the allied army of nobles headed by the Thracian family and the two families of Thrace and Piduz as the core. It doesn't matter if there are more or less." It's just some turkey dogs."
"That's a bold statement! I like it!" Otto raised his thumb, "Just for this, it's worth a drink!"
"The war is about to take place, and alcohol is prohibited during this time!" Sage Lopez said coldly.
Otto immediately slumped and sat down listlessly, as if he had lost a battle.
Liu Daoqing was about to say something when the communication tool on Katarina's table suddenly glowed, which meant that someone was trying to contact her.
In the following period of time, dozens of nobles, large and small, sent messages one after another. These messages can be as short as a sentence or two and long-winded, with different attitudes. Most of them were attempts to persuade, and the nobles did not want a civil war in Thrace. The rest were almost all supported. Obviously, those nobles regarded the independence of the Elanz family as a good opportunity given by God.
Katerina answered one by one, and if she was polite, she answered politely, and if she was rude, she directly replied "Go away".
While answering, she also smiled, smiling happily.
"It's so happy! I've wanted to tear my face like this for a long time! With what you said, Gu Liu, I happily flipped the table to save trouble!" she said happily, "Just for this happiness, this battle It's also worth fighting for!"
Seeing her cheerful appearance, Liu Daoqing couldn't help laughing.
(Yeah, just to make you happy, this battle is worth fighting!)
