After the enlarged meeting, Owen did not ask the officials who had come to Windport and Dongsheng Fortress to go back immediately, but invited them to stay and participate in the annual Spring Festival.The dangerous winter has finally passed, and spring is coming, and the people of the border town are putting up lights everywhere to prepare for the Spring Festival.Compared with last year, the program is much richer, in addition to the local singing and dancing vaudeville performances, Owen also specially invited the opera troupe of Dongsheng Fortress to come.At that time, they will open their performances to the public on an open-air stage set up in the square.In addition, the school also actively participated in this year's Spring Festival, and teachers and students rehearsed several programs.For example, the drama performance "Hand in Hand Against the Enemy" is based on last year's incident in which humans and lizardmen joined forces to fight against undead monsters, and is adapted from a drama performed by students of all ethnic groups.There is also a chorus of "All Races, One Family", preaching the harmony between human beings and subhuman races, and so on.These shows were all planned by Teresa herself.This time, Owen will not distribute free food to the people, and accordingly, send people to set up some areas in the square and streets, and allow people to set up stalls there to sell toys, snacks and other things.It was a great opportunity to make money, and many people were eager to try it, and ran to the town hall to apply for a stall and buy all kinds of ingredients to get ready to show off their skills.In order to better promote the friendship between humans and subhuman races, Owen did not forget to invite the subhuman races of the Alliance of All Races to come over to participate in the Spring Festival.After discussion, the Alliance of All Races decided to send a group of subhuman patriarchs who were relatively resistant to humans to experience and feel the customs of Frontier Town.Fearing that the police force would not be able to maintain order at the Spring Festival due to the lack of manpower, Owen also assigned some KPA soldiers to assist the police, and worked hard for them.On the day of the Spring Festival, according to last year's rules, Owen would take the stage to give a speech and then announce the start of the celebration.Under the expectation of everyone, Owen slowly walked onto the makeshift stage."
Your Excellency is here!""
Your Lord!"
As soon as they saw Owen, the crowd below couldn't help but cheer.Walking to the front of the stage, Owen saw the crowd below, and couldn't help but secretly feel that this square had obviously undergone an expansion, and it was still difficult to resist the enthusiastic people flocking to it.Raising his hand to silence the voices of the crowd, he spoke: "Good afternoon, my lords, I am your lord, Marquis Owen Eisen.On the occasion of this wonderful spring, I would like to announce two important decisions to you. ”A big decision?
Some of the civilians couldn't help but hold their breath as they waited for the lord to announce something."
The first decision, I announce, from today, the border town will be officially established and renamed Dawn City!"
The city is built!
Frontier Town has finally been upgraded to a city!"
Auroville!""
Long live Auroville!"
The crowd couldn't help but chant again, excitement streaming over their faces.After the cheers subsided, Owen continued: "Before announcing the second decision, I have to tell you one thing, which has to do with the current king. ”Hearing this, the nobles below showed solemn expressions, they already had a premonition of what Owen was going to do."
Last year, the kingdom of Chenguang was not peaceful, and after the battle for the throne, the southern border became independent again, which led to the outbreak of many wars.I know that some of you are from the South, and you have suffered because you have been affected by the war, and you have left your homeland to come here. ”These words warmed the hearts of those people in the south, and the common people who suffered from the war were innocent, and the nobles and royal families who started the war would not pay attention to them at all."
As far as I know, the new king is suspected of killing the king, and he has designed to kill the eldest prince, and forced militia and harsh taxes in order to regain the southern border, causing the general public to be in dire straits, and the so-called Queen of Moonlight in the south is the same.I am deeply saddened by the blood that flows like theirs, and no one cares about these innocent people?
”The same bloodline?
There were already a lot of people chattering and whispering below."
You may have heard of it, but now I tell you unequivocally that I do have the blood of the royal family of Wells in my veins."
Before, it was just a rumor, and I couldn't confirm the truth, but now that I have admitted it myself, how can you not be shocked?"
In order to eliminate the hidden danger, the new king has sent assassins to assassinate me several times, but fortunately he has not succeeded.Although the assassination failed, he may not let me go, and he may send troops to attack Dawn City in the future. ”As soon as these words came out, the people felt a sense of fear and worry.If it weren't for the lord, Frontier Town would not have developed so well, and it would not have been upgraded to Dawn City.If the new king's plot succeeds and the lord dies, how can they have a good life now?
Realizing this, the level of hatred of the new king suddenly rose.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Owen waved his hand and issued a proclamation to everyone: "After careful consideration, I solemnly make a decision that when the snow melts, I will personally lead the People's Army to take the initiative to conquer the royal capital, unify the morning light, and end this endless dispute." ”Take the initiative to unify the kingdom, that is, the lord will declare war on the royal capital and claim the king himself."
We support the lord!""
Unified Morning Light!""
Long live your lord!"
The populace showed great support for Owen's decision, much to the amazement of the nobles and officials below.Silenced again, Owen returned to the subject, giving a speech about the Celebration of the Spring Festival, thanking the KPA and the Templars for their bravery, and finally officially declaring: "I can't let my lords wait, I declare, the Celebration of Spring, start now!"
Enjoy the festival to the fullest!
”Dawn City soon became lively, and everyone was immersed in a joyful atmosphere.On the other side, as soon as Owen walked off the stage, Clive hurriedly walked over."
In such a hurry?"
Owen raised an eyebrow, "Clive, are you here to dissuade me?"
”"No, Lord Marquis."
Clive put on a serious face, stroked his chest and saluted: "I am extremely supportive of your decision. ”As soon as the Qingchun meeting ended, the officials who had come to Fenggang and Dongsheng Fortress hurried back, and there was still a lot to do to fully implement the new law.The three places soon announced the general outline of the new law and sent people to explain to the people how the new law differed from the old law.However, this did not cause much discussion, after all, the news of Dawn City's declaration of war on the royal capital was even more eye-catching.The Templars were also preparing to go back, and the elf Elf Ellie Renee who had been rescued earlier would accompany the army to the Holy Church of Caleb first, and then find a way to send them back to the Elven country of Venola.On the edge of the docks, Ellie Renee bowed deeply to Owen."
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Lord Eisen.""
You're welcome, that's what I promised you back then."
Owen smiled.Not far away, the Templars were carrying boxes of bolt-action rifles and cartridges to the ship, Dawn's first foreign arms trade.There are not many of them, only fifty rifles.You can't blame Owen for this, after all, the other party gave too much.However, the most critical smokeless gunpowder technology was still firmly in Owen's hands, and even if the Caleb Holy Sect purchased bolt-action rifles, the ammunition needed could only continue to be purchased from Dawn City.After the move, Bray came to say goodbye to Owen."
Marquis Eisen, let's go back now, and I wish you success in your expedition.""
Thank you."
