From Wild Mage to Wizard King

Chapter 418 Bloodshed

With the official sale of the civilian communication device, the external network in the province was successfully put into operation.

Since the cost of the civilian communication device was pushed to the extreme by the device makers, coupled with the large-scale production of the assembly line, the price of a civilian communication device is only five yuan.

Based on the value of the committee's food coupons, one yuan is just the minimum price an adult spends on food in a day. If you want to eat a little better, it is normal to spend two or three yuan a day.

Based on this calculation, the civilian communication device is not expensive, and you can buy one by saving a little money.

If you don't want to save money, you can also find some work in your spare time. The committee is now in need of manpower everywhere. Just find a part-time job, such as moving bricks for half an hour or an hour every day at the construction site, and you will have money after moving for a few days.

However, with the current stable situation of the committee, most people still have some savings on hand, so it is not that troublesome to buy a few one-yuan food coupons.

Moreover, after all these years of hard work, the committee's rule has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even if they don't know much,

there will be many people willing to buy this money.

Therefore, after the civilian communication device was placed in the official store, within seven days, the external networks of various provinces had at least hundreds of thousands of accounts, and the number of accounts in some provinces had exceeded one million.

After a large number of accounts logged into the external network, the account owners quickly began to explore the external network under the official usage guides provided by various provinces.

From being deserted at the beginning to becoming popular, the external networks quickly became lively in less than half a month. As the external networks became lively, the connections within the provinces were gradually established.

Since it was the first time to contact the external network, many people from various cities within the province were enthusiastically posting various topics, from discussing what the external network is, the development of the committee in recent years, what the chairman is doing recently, to sharing what they ate today, which store has delicious food...

Although the committee also arranged personnel to manage and divert, the management personnel were also managing these things for the first time. Therefore, in the seven provincial external networks, except for the official section, other sections were a bit messy.

However, the committee was well prepared for the chaos. After receiving the news, Julius immediately transferred more than a dozen spellcasters from the administrative department to the emergency rescue. With the efforts of these spellcasters working in three shifts 24 hours a day, the chaos on the administrative external network gradually subsided. Under constraints and restrictions, it gradually became standardized.

Roland took his communication device and browsed the situation on the external network while handling government affairs.

Although civilian communication devices can only connect to the external network, Roland's customized communication device does not have so many restrictions. It can connect to the internal network and the external network. It's just a matter of adding a connector.

Roland browsed the external network of the Apocalypse Province, looked at the posts on the public board, and looked at the hot posts highlighted in red at the top of the board. Roland felt a little emotional.

This familiar feeling is back, all back.

Thinking of this, Roland also looked at the names of these hot posts.

[Church Division] Pantheon, you are a **, come and argue if you don't agree.

[General Zone 1] Let's talk briefly about my experience and redemption during my escape and in the Old Enlightenment Era before the establishment of the committee.

[General Zone 2] Let's briefly share the interesting cases and relevant laws published by the Ministry of Justice, which can be supplemented.

[General Zone 2] How to use the limited space of the house to cultivate plants within the scope permitted by the law?

[Life Zone 2] Simple and convenient life tips that ordinary people and low-level extraordinary people can use.

Is this still Donnar? What did I do?

Hasn't this external network been open for less than a month? It has evolved so fast? Why does this style feel weird?

Also, does this hot post involve provoking war?

Thinking of this, Roland opened the backstage of the external network forum. In the detection of the forum backstage, the inspection result of the first post was normal. It did not involve provoking war. It was just a few churches arguing about doctrine.

As for the ** on the post name, it was not blocked by the forum. The external network does not have such an advanced blocking function.

It was completely written by the poster of the post himself, as if he wanted to circumvent the relevant laws in the [Golden Law] regarding external network insults and verbal attacks.

In fact, her idea did work. Considering that the content was sound except for the title which was deliberately misleading, the administrators of the forum did not block the post.

Roland raised his eyebrows slightly, and just as he exited the forum backstage and was about to click in to take a look, a report came from the communication device.

An urgent report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was delivered to Roland.

Seeing the prompt of the urgent report, Roland gave up the idea of ​​continuing to browse the forum, exited the external network, and looked at the urgent report.

When the Silver Empire was caught up in the struggle between the Silver Emperor and the Silver Family, and had no time to manage other affairs, more and more veterans joined the Ginza parade because they could not make a living.

They only hoped that the Silver Empire could fulfill part of the salary they had promised them before, so that they could continue to live, that's all.

But how could Ginza, which was caught up in a political struggle, care about these veterans? Of course, even if there was no political struggle, Ginza would not be able to fulfill its promise.

Therefore, about 17,000 to 20,000 retired veterans from all over the Silver Empire, including a large number of unemployed retired soldiers, gathered in front of the Silver Palace and asked the Silver Palace to give them some travel expenses.

In response, the Silver Palace was indifferent. In fact, there were also sympathizers for the veterans in the Silver Palace. Some military nobles and religious personnel of the Fangshen Temple also spoke for the veterans, but no one was willing to pay this money, whether it was the Silver Emperor or the Silver Families.

Even if the military nobles and religious personnel who sympathized with the veterans raised a sum of money and wanted to help them, the Silver Palace deducted all the money on the grounds that they just asked for travel expenses today and dared to ask for full salary tomorrow, and they must not compromise with them. Then the money disappeared quietly within a few days.

However, although the Silver Palace restricted them, the Silver Empire was a loose alliance of countries after all. No matter how powerful the Silver Emperor and the Silver Families were, they could not control the military nobles and religious personnel.

Therefore, they can still secretly help the veterans in private. For example, the old leader of the Radiant Knights recruited veterans under the pretext of hiring guards and let them follow the caravan back to their hometown.

But even so, most veterans still have hope for Ginza and still insist on staying in Ginza, so

there are so many veterans who are still staying in Ginza. However, they have hope for Ginza, but the Silver Emperor and the Silver Family of Ginza only think it is troublesome.

Especially with the support of some political forces that oppose them, military nobles and religious figures who sympathize with the veterans, a proposal to pay relief funds to the veterans was also sent to them. In response, the Silver Emperor and the Silver Family tacitly dragged on without replying.

Both sides just tacitly let the city defense forces of Ginza supervise the veterans and let them not make any big noise.

Since then, the veterans and the city defense forces have confronted each other, and their dissatisfaction and complaints have increased, and anger is accumulating.

Until May 17, 1458, the veterans stayed in a large square in Ginza.

When the city defense forces of Ginza tried to drive them away, one of them accidentally killed two veterans with a blunt weapon. Then, the angry veterans began to fight back, seized weapons, attacked the police with blunt weapons, killed the city defense force that missed the attack, and injured and repelled the rest of the city defense force.

However, even at this point, the veterans still did not think of violently demanding payment. After repelling the city defense forces,

the veterans dropped the blunt weapons.

The veterans still believed that Ginza would give them a perfect answer, but Ginza did not think so.

When the city defense authorities reported to Ginza that they were killed by the veterans and could not maintain order, a military order came from Ginza.

The Silver Empire Army entered Ginza.

So, on the same day, in Ginza, the capital of the Silver Empire, a bloody conflict broke out between retired veterans and the army. The veterans who had fought bloody battles for the Silver Empire were attacked by the imperial army unarmed and defenseless.

Under the leadership and command of a third-level noble knight, a thousand elite cavalrymen launched a charge against five thousand veterans, and quickly defeated the veterans' parade with swords and whips. They fought one against five, which was very impressive. They easily suppressed five thousand veterans at the cost of zero casualties. It can be called an epic victory.

More than fifty veterans died tragically on the streets, hundreds of people were injured, two veterans were tied up with ropes and dragged to death by war horses for thousands of meters, and the wife of a veteran who was traveling with her was brutally beheaded, and the baby less than three months old in her arms was trampled to death by the war horse. Two innocent people were shot and killed, and more than a thousand innocent citizens were affected.

If it weren't for the fact that the wailing and screams attracted the attention of the extraordinary people in Ginza after the suppression, and some nobles and religious people who happened to pass by rushed to the scene and quickly provided treatment to the wounded, more people would have died.

At the same time, after receiving the news, some knights of the Huanguang Knights who were just about to escort the caravan out of Ginza also rushed to the scene quickly, and under the leadership of the old leader, they stopped the cavalry from chasing the veterans, otherwise the number of casualties would have increased several times.

On the streets of Ginza, a thousand elite cavalrymen led by third-level extraordinary people confronted less than a hundred knights of the Huanguang Knights in an open confrontation. One side was covered in blood, while the other side looked at the blood on their bodies, and each of them looked murderous.

If it weren't for the extraordinary people from all over Ginza running over, the first open military conflict since the establishment of Ginza would have broken out on this street.

You know, whether it was the civil war of the Silver Empire or the Rose War, Ginza had never been affected by war, let alone attacked by foreign enemies.

The first military conflict in Ginza was an internal fight between the Imperial Army and the Knights of Radiance, which was a huge loss of face for the Silver Empire.

Under the persuasion of all parties, the two sides barely avoided fighting.

However, this incident spread throughout the Silver Empire at an alarming speed. Whether it was true sympathy or just taking advantage of the issue, the various vassal states, free cities and the Tower of Truth in the Silver Empire expressed great concern and sympathy for this.

Especially the political societies in the Tower of Truth, basically they cursed directly.

Damn, how did the Silver Empire become like this!

However, even after this incident broke out, Ginza still did not intend to pay the veterans. The Silver Emperor and the Silver Family also said that they were unaware of the order to mobilize the army to enter Ginza, but they all pushed the other side at the same time, saying that it must have been done by the other side, and it was none of my business anyway.

Although no one wanted to take the blame, after this bloody suppression, the veterans of Ginza were completely decadent. With the help of the nobles and religious people who sympathized with them, they stopped talking and quietly evacuated Ginza in batches.

In addition, three days after the bloodshed broke out, the third-level noble knight who commanded the cavalry to suppress it was found dead in his own residence with a look of horror on his face.

As for why the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knew so much, it was naturally learned about the specific situation from the Radiant Knights.

The relationship between the War Committee and the Radiant Knights was relatively friendly, not only because of Roland's personal relationship with the old leader, but also because of the former Radiant Knights members in the Dawn Church within the committee, and also because of the commercial interests of both parties.

Roland naturally believed that the various free support from the Radiant Knights should be rewarded. Therefore, the Radiant Knights relied on this relationship to almost monopolize more than 70% of the sugar trade in Ginza.

Therefore, the relationship between the two sides is still relatively close and solid. Even if the old leader resigns in the future, the relationship will not be too bad under the condition of interest binding.

As for the Silver Empire's suppression of veterans and the bloodshed, what is the relationship between it and the War Committee? It is also related to some things that the Huanguang Knights said to the ambassador to Ginza.

When the War Committee annexed the United Army, didn't it accept a large number of veterans who were expelled and exiled to Donnar by the Silver Empire?

Although the Baiyin Empire wanted to drive all the veterans and their families here, the veterans were not stupid. Many of them tried their best to keep their families in Sinar.

And in these years, after these disabled veterans were treated for free by the committee and settled down, they naturally wanted to bring their families over.

The committee, with the idea of ​​pulling one person over, also took the initiative to help the veterans and brought their families back from Sinar.

In order to persuade their families to come, the veterans naturally wrote various letters confirming their identities and praising the committee. Therefore, when they brought their families back, some veterans who helped them hide their identities and retired without disabilities also knew the situation of the committee.

So, after experiencing the bloody suppression of the Silver Empire, these veterans also thought of the committee.

Some of them were completely disappointed with the Silver Empire, and wanted to join the Commission.

Roland was also thoughtful as he looked at the report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

As far as he could remember, the Silver Empire had never seen such an incident of suppressing veterans.

If the veterans were suppressed bloodily in this way, would the incident in his memory of Ginza being almost captured by the coalition of princes and veterans from all over the country spontaneously gathering to rescue Ginza still happen?

In the war of unification of the Silver Empire, would those old guards who brought their own dry food and were veterans still appear?

Roland shook his head. He thought it was highly unlikely to happen.

Forget it. What does the future of the Silver Empire have to do with the War Commission?

With this in mind, Roland also agreed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' plan to take the initiative to contact and absorb veterans.

The Silver Empire despised these veterans, but the War Commission did not. They were all good seedlings that had been tempered by the flames of war. It would be easy for them to become knights after filling their foundation.

Even if it didn't work, it would be good to be an ordinary young laborer.
