Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 849: Wansheng Republic
In the Wansheng Kingdom, the Capital of Hundreds of Flowers, in front of the palace, the demi-humans are bustling.
The white imperial flags of mourning were hung all over the periphery of the palace, fluttering slightly with the cold wind of the season.
Until now, the demi-humans living in Baihua City cannot believe what happened the day before yesterday.
On that day, His Majesty Wan Zhang Shi and Crown Prince Qian Xia Lan were assassinated and died, leaving them forever.
I heard that the assassin sneaked in quietly and used deadly toxin to kill two people.
I don’t know whether it was luck or misfortune. The guard who noticed the abnormality went through all the troubles and killed the assassin. He learned that his true identity was a human and found Luo Ze from his body. The Emperor's secret message.
The purpose of the Luoze Empire is very simple. Now that the negotiations between the two countries have reached a deadlock, the Luoze Empire wants to use assassination to plunge Wansheng Kingdom into chaos so as to gain the initiative in the negotiations.
In addition to being sad and angry, the people of Baihuadu also became worried about the future of Wansheng Kingdom.
Wan Zhangshi was an only son, and Qian Xia Lan was his only daughter. Looking back, although there were princes, most of them died on the battlefield during this long war.
The huge Wansheng Kingdom could not find anyone who could quickly inherit the throne.
If you take out the family tree of Wanzhangshi and flip through it, you should still be able to find one or two people with inheritance rights...
But now there are internal and external troubles, and those "heirs to the throne" who have never appeared in the public eye really have the ability to inherit this country.
You know, if you are not careful now, this country is very likely to fall into the abyss.
Fortunately among misfortunes, before his death, the king of this country entrusted his funeral affairs to the prime minister of this country.
Just yesterday, Prime Minister Mindalak announced to the people the future that this country will move towards.
"......
I am deeply saddened by the deaths of His Majesty Wan Zhang Shi and His Highness Qian Xia Lan, but we cannot stop moving forward.
The Luo Ze Empire is eyeing our country. It has fallen into chaos at this time, playing into the enemy's hands. In this critical period, we should unite as one, in order to comfort His Majesty's spirit in heaven.
Before his death, His Majesty wanted to entrust everything to me.
However, I am not talented enough to ascend to a high position and lead everyone forward. Therefore, I suggest that your Majesty abandon the current inheritance system.
A person's power will eventually have its limit. Only by superimposing the power of one person after another and learning from each other's strengths can endless power be unleashed.
The coming new system is to unite the strengths of everyone.
In the future, everyone, regardless of race, gender, or age, will have the opportunity to develop their strengths.
The country will not be divided according to the gathering place of individual demihumans, but according to unified new rules.
Each region will elect central members who can represent the people in proportion, and go to the central government to form a parliament to jointly govern the country.
The Parliament is renewed every five years and welcomes all capable and beloved Asians to contribute to this country.
I declare that the Wansheng Kingdom will enter a republic starting from today.
All demi-humans are citizens of this country.
No matter men, women, old or young, no matter rich or poor, no matter your race, you are all citizens of this country. As long as our country exists, no one can bully you.
......"
The people of Baihuadu still remember Mingdalak’s impassioned speech yesterday.
In their eyes, only Mindarak, the founding father of the country, can save the country from fire and water in such a critical moment.
Mindalak became the first consul and formed a provisional parliament, which was naturally expected by the public.
Time passed by, and Mindalak appeared at the gate of the palace.
The noisy sounds stopped instantly, and all the demi-humans present looked at Mindalak, preparing to witness this historic moment.
Mindalak directly began his inaugural speech without too many opening remarks.
The first half of the speech was almost the same as an ordinary inaugural speech, but in the second half, the style of Mindalak's speech broke through.
"......
Thank you for your love, I swear to officially serve as the first consul of Wansheng Kingdom.
However, it is a pity that my fellow compatriots, today is not a day worth celebrating. Our struggle has not ended yet, on the contrary, it has just begun.
Humanity has seen us as a thorn in its side, a thorn in its flesh.
We haven't done anything to humans in these years, we just settled in a corner of the continent. However, humans' expanding ambitions intend to devour us all.
Our brothers and sisters died tragically under their butcher knives one by one.
Our land...
"
Under Mindalak's premeditation, the inaugural speech turned into an incitement.
What Mindalak said were all facts, but he used his words vividly to arouse the hatred for human beings in the hearts of those who listened.
"...We have to do this. If we don't do this, one day in the future, such a tragedy will definitely happen again..."
Subsequently, like knocking down dominoes, Mindalak changed the topic from the inauguration ceremony to the continuation of the war, causing the people to forget all thoughts of peace.
".....
Listen to me, I know you all have your own concerns, but now such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is before us, and we must cherish it.
Now, the human troops have retreated back to their country, morale is low...
But before long, they will regroup and make a comeback.
By then, our country will be in ruins again.
And humans also hold a trump card. They will use the discovered ruins to constantly update their equipment. In past wars, it was because they used those weird gadgets that we were at a disadvantage several times.
I can't imagine what kind of tragedy will happen after they master the new technology.
We don’t want to fight, but we have to fight...
Everyone, actually, I have been thinking about this for a long time.
I don’t know if I should tell you the truth about the Luoze Empire’s conquest of us.
But in the end, I decided to tell you all the truth, including the truth about why humans persecuted us demi-humans more than three hundred years ago.
......"
Finally, Mindalak showed his trump card.
Behind him, an ancient book page was projected, filled with ancient words.
Beside this page, there is another page, which translates the ancient text on the first page into modern text: "Demi-humans will eventually replace all humans."
"Human beings started a war against us because they believed in such stupid things.
We once longed to coexist peacefully with humans, but they treated us this way.
Since they believe this prophecy so much, let’s show them how this prophecy actually comes true. ”
