Looking at the frenzied crowd below, Misard really didn't know what was going on. In his opinion, this group of people should be itching to tear them apart. After all, the people now had to pay 65% of the taxes, and they still had to do more work. No matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for them to survive. Why did this group of people look so … happy?
Misard couldn't understand because this matter had nothing to do with him. After all, the tax he received was still 15%. Moreover, he didn't care about the lives of the people, so his favorability wouldn't be affected. Similar to Misard, most of the nobles in the city were confused. They weren't affected by this matter, but they were concerned about this matter. So when they saw the people cheering, they didn't know what was going on. Did the entire city go crazy?
"Alright, alright." At this time, Li Huailin continued his speech. He pressed his hand slightly, and the people below the stage all quietened down. Although it was the first time these people saw the leader of the "Continental Alliance", everyone's favorability toward Li Huailin was off the charts. Li Huailin's orders were really well-received.
"Today is probably the first time everyone is seeing me. I know that all of you might have some misgivings about me." Li Huailin said. "Our Continental Alliance is an organization that inspires people to liberate the world and save the people at the bottom of society. Our goal is exactly the same as other organizations. We focus on those who live at the bottom of society. As you can see, our policies are all aimed at ordinary people like you, not the nobles. Of course, I know that in this feudal society, our policies seem a bit out of place, but this is our goal. We firmly believe that the people are the foundation of a country! "
"Long live! Long live! Long live! " As soon as Li Huailin raised his voice, the group of people below also cooperated and cheered. Another round of cheers erupted, causing the situation to go out of control again.
After the crowd quieted down a little, Li Huailin continued. "Of course, this time, we are also very lucky to have the understanding of the royal family. The great new Emperor Misard accepted our proposal, which is why these decrees can be issued and implemented. Everyone, please give Emperor Misard the greatest cheer."
"Long live Emperor Misard!" "Long live the new Emperor!" The people below shouted again.
"Thanks to Emperor Misard's support, our policies can be implemented here. I have always thought that Emperor Misard is a great and good emperor who truly thinks about the people. However, I have received some unfortunate news from Emperor Misard. It seems that his brother is planning to usurp his throne … This is really surprising. "Li Huailin said with a smile.
Speaking until here, the crowd suddenly quieted down. Li Huailin smiled and continued. "In fact, I am also familiar with Emperor Misard's father, the previous Emperor Taft. This time, I actually came here because of Emperor Taft's invitation. However, I didn't expect to attend a funeral."
Yes, Li Huailin had started making up stories again. However, the people below weren't very clear about the situation. Moreover, this group of people really believed in Li Huailin. There were actually a lot of people who believed in him.
"When I came here, I found out that His Majesty Taft and the other princes were all seriously ill and didn't have long to live. Before he died, His Majesty Taft entrusted the tenth prince, Misard, to me and conferred the throne to him in front of me." Li Huailin said with a smile. "So, Emperor Misard ascended the throne with me as his witness. There is no problem with the throne. I can guarantee it. Don't you believe me?"
"We believe in Sir!" "Yes, Sir is a good man. He would never lie!" Hearing Li Huailin's voice, all the people below shouted at the same time. Now, they really trusted Li Huailin too much.
"But what makes me sad is that the eldest prince of the empire wants to fight for power and profit for his own sake. He wants to seize the throne from his younger brother." Li Huailin continued. "Everyone, you can see that Emperor Misard is trying hard to rule the empire. As soon as he came to power, he announced a series of policies that will make it hard for everyone to live. These are the embodiment of his determination. But this eldest prince named Vico doesn't accept my suggestion at all. Once he succeeds in usurping the throne, all the orders issued by Emperor Misard will definitely be revoked. Can everyone accept such a result? "
"No!" "No!" "No!" All the people shouted in unison. Yes, it was easy to mobilize the people. Now that Li Huailin was standing on the throne and giving a passionate speech, it was easy to mobilize the people's emotions. They already felt that this policy was awesome. Now that Misad heard that Li Huailin was the real Emperor, they felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Of course, they agreed with him.
"Very good." Li Huailin nodded. "Now, the eldest prince is leading his troops here. His goal is to seize the throne. Of course, we can't let him succeed. This isn't just for Emperor Misard, it's also for everyone. I can assure you that as long as His Majesty Misad is still alive, the policies that the Continental Alliance has promised you will be implemented. A new day is coming, so shouldn't you all work hard for this good day? "
"Yes! Yes! " The people below were excited again. Of course, it wasn't mainly because of Emperor Misard. Actually, the people didn't know much about Misard. Most of them didn't know him. But when it came to their own interests, they couldn't stay calm. Just like what Li Huailin said, it wasn't easy for them to get this new policy. It was simply impossible for them to survive. How could they not support it?
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. "Everyone, be quiet. I already know what everyone is thinking. I'm also very pleased that my policy can be supported by everyone. But we also have to recognize the fact that the army led by Vico is the most powerful army in the entire empire, the Verus army. And although everyone wants to help Misard, to fight against such a powerful army is still a little … "
Speaking until here, the people below began to worry. Yes, although Li Huailin's new policy made them very happy, they still needed to be able to implement it. Crown Prince Vico came with an army. Hearing the name of the Verus army, everyone was afraid. Thinking until here, everyone quieted down and prepared to listen to what Li Huailin had to say.
"But everyone, don't worry. After all, we still have a big advantage. This Glory Castle is a great city. It's a sturdy city built by everyone's ancestors. Even an elite army like the Verus army can't break in, "Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Yes." "That's right." Li Huailin's words once again received the approval of the people. In their opinion, this Glory Castle was too sturdy. With this huge wall that was more than 30 meters tall, it was impossible for anyone to break in. Relying on such a sturdy defense, they might be able to fight against the enemy.
"Also, I also received a piece of information." Li Huailin said with a smile. "This time, the Verus army didn't bring any siege weapons. They can't launch a siege."
"Huh?" "What?" Everyone was stunned. This was too strange. Why didn't they bring siege weapons to attack the city? This didn't make sense.
"You must be wondering why this is happening. It's actually very simple. " Li Huailin said with a smile. "Because Vico knows that this city doesn't need to be besieged at all. Because our people will open the gate for him, he doesn't need to bring heavy siege weapons at all. He just needs to get here as soon as possible."
"What?" Everyone was shocked again. "How is that possible? No one will open the gate for them."
"Yes, why would anyone open the gate for that traitor … Wait."
Speaking up to this point, most of the people suddenly understood who Li Huailin was talking about. Li Huailin didn't keep them in suspense. He immediately said, "Yes, you're right. Our current policies have hindered the interests of the nobles who suck your blood. Although it seems to have nothing to do with them, they can't stand that you, the people, are living a better life than them. So, look, none of the nobles are on the side of Emperor Misard. Emperor Misard has already broken off relations with all the nobles because of you … "
"What!" "Hateful nobles!" In an instant, the emotions of the people below exploded again. The relationship between the people and the nobles wasn't good, so they couldn't stand being provoked at all. In fact, what Li Huailin said wasn't logical at all. However, the people still believed him consciously. Compared to the nobles, they trusted Li Huailin more.
"Yes, once the Crown Prince's troops arrive, the nobles will open the gate for the Crown Prince. At that time …" Li Huailin said with a smile. "Not only that, but also the Royal Guards. As you can see, His Majesty Misard doesn't even have a single guard by his side. Why … Because the Royal Guards are also secretly supporting Vico. They are all our enemies!"
"Hateful guy!" "Burn those bastards!" "For all of us, protect His Majesty Misard!" In an instant, the people went berserk.
