Seven Lights Heaven.
Clement Kingdom, capital of Carlston.
The sky was always gloomy, and the cold wind blew through the deserted streets, rolling up a few old newspapers.
Kerry was wrapped in a thick trench coat, almost burying his head in the clothes, but he still could not block out the pervasive cold.
The first rank professionals still had the characteristics of ordinary people.
For example, they would bleed when injured, starve if they didn't eat, and feel cold when the temperature dropped.
It had been two years since the black fog dissipated.
The continuation of the war had a far-reaching impact on the kingdom.
Ever since the defeat at the frontline, the army of the powerful Eastern Empire had directly entered the kingdom's territory and occupied a large area of land.
The young men of the kingdom were recruited in batches, and it was said that the age had been relaxed to 16 years old and below 55 years old. As long as they were not disabled, they were allowed to enlist.
The king personally called for the nobles to contribute to the war. In addition to donating resources, they sent male servants to the battlefield and female servants to the factories, minimizing the use of servants.
As for ordinary families, they were generally trapped by the wartime rationing system. They did not have enough food, nor did they have enough fuel.
In order to obtain food, they had to flatten the original courtyard garden and plant potatoes, sweet potatoes and other food that could fill their hunger.
In order to obtain fuel, many people ignored the ban and illegally cut down trees in the park.
And the pigeons that represented peace in the square had long been stolen.
The churches and the royal relief points were always full of long queues, but even so, it was not uncommon to see corpses that died because they could not survive.
Even Mister Li Wei had no choice but to dismiss most of his servants, leaving only his butler, valet, and a few others behind …
Kerry looked at a group of patrolling soldiers and unconsciously shrunk his neck. "I heard that the frontline has been collapsing … Maybe in three months, the army of the Eastern Empire will appear in the capital …"
As an ordinary citizen of the kingdom, Kerry was undoubtedly in great pain.
Moreover, he had a trace of resentment towards the upper echelons of the kingdom.
Why did they provoke the ancient Eastern Empire, let hundreds of thousands of young men die at the frontline, and let the kingdom fall to such a state?
One had to know that Kerry's own hometown had now become an occupied area.
Although he was worried about his hometown, there was nothing Kerry could do.
"No, I can still contribute a little to stop the war."
When he turned into a street, his expression had already become very firm.
He had a little secret. He had joined a very secretive anti-war circle.
This was absolutely politically incorrect in Carreston at this time, but Chris still joined in for his own beliefs without hesitation.
He wanted to stop this damned war and make his own insignificant contribution.
As an important member of the royal family, Prince Emel's position became even more important after Prince Sauron died in battle and the prince he supported lost his power. He would definitely have access to a lot of information.
With that in mind, he walked into a secret club.
"Welcome!"
After passing through the security, a few maids dressed in black and white came forward to welcome the guests with sweet smiles.
A fake smile appeared on Chris's face: "Where is the prince?"
"Please follow me."
The maid led the way and pushed open a heavy mahogany door.
A warm aura immediately blew over.
As a prince, all aspects of enjoyment were obviously top notch. Even if it was just a party salon, there were all kinds of luxurious decorations.
The huge conference hall was covered in bright red carpet, and a few gentlemen sat on a few sofas. They were all people from the Royal School who were close to Prince Emel. At this time, when they saw Kerry, a trace of a smile appeared on their faces.
Some of them were tasting red wine, some were tasting desserts, and completely enjoying the resources that were completely beyond the necessary limits.
"It is said that at the frontline, some soldiers died of starvation due to lack of heating and food …"
Kerry sighed in his heart. Without much hesitation, he relaxed his mood and integrated into this small circle.
Yes, he was good at entering all kinds of circles.
"Kerry, you are late."
A young gentleman dressed in a luxurious suit smiled.
"I went to make a small contribution to the country." Kerry smiled as he sat down and appeased the hunger in his stomach with honey cake.
Originally, with the Royal School's subsidy, his income as an Extraordinary, and the occasional rewards from the prince, he would not be in such dire straits.
However, Kerry often went to the church to donate money, and in addition, he had recently been contacted by a Fellow Countrymen's Association. This was a regional funding organization, and most of the victims were people from Kerry's hometown. Thus, he had spent a large sum of money, and was now in dire straits.
"Haha, our dinner table annihilator is here …"
Another senior said teasingly.
Kerry had a talent for being thick-skinned, and ignored the hidden mockery.
Not long after, Prince Emel hurried over. He looked a little tired, but he still paid attention to maintaining a good relationship with these students.
After all, they would be his future subordinates, and right now, they were already qualified aides and aides.
The group of people bowed and sat down, and began to chat to improve their relationship. The most talked about was the topic of war.
Although Prince Emel was tired, he was in good spirits. He raised a glass of red wine and said, "The war is about to turn, to our great King!"
Kerry smiled and raised his glass, quickly analyzing the situation in his mind.
Prince Emel is in charge of foreign affairs. Since he made such a statement, I'm afraid that the two ambassadors in the Enric Kingdom and the Bauhinia Kingdom have news? There will be a good result, an alliance between the three kingdoms to resist the Eastern Empire?
This news, I can go to the organization. If the armies of the other two kingdoms enter Carreston, who knows how long this war will be prolonged. More importantly, the people who will be hurt will always be the poor people of the Clement Kingdom …
Kerry did not know that the anti-war organization he was in was, in fact, secretly funded by the Eastern monks.
The main person in charge was Madam Zhu Qingliu, alias Anna …
There will be a series of exchanges of interests in an alliance between the three kingdoms, and it will be difficult to reach an agreement. If only I could find out the detailed terms.
Kerry sighed in his heart, and waited for the end of the salon without any abnormalities.
"Sorry, I have to go, there is an important guest waiting for me."
Ten minutes later, Prince Emel got up and left.
Kerry hurriedly went to open the door, and watched Prince Emel walk into the club.
"He didn't leave. It looks like the distinguished guest is in the club?"
What … are they going to talk about?
Kerry gritted his teeth, ready to take a gamble.
After all, he had been with Prince Emel for a while, and he knew the other party's security level, as well as certain operating rules. There was a chance of success!
