Chapter 393 - 212: Ten Million Troops
For Dawn, who is accustomed to war, the laws of Dongwu City are now the hot topic on the internet.
The online sentiment has become increasingly difficult to understand.
With the players taking the lead, gradually some people with stories have begun to speak up, calmly narrating their somewhat humble tales.
Such posts are growing more frequent, yet they cannot curb the resistance of capital and small families, even though they’re unsure whether this reform will affect them.
Some real-world conflicts are beginning to erupt; reform itself signifies an absolutely sensational event.
If only Dongwu City were to implement reforms, it would be enough to throw the entire Federation into turmoil; public opinion is not the root, interests are the source of everything.
Only a small portion can see the situation clearly, even those legislators only supported the proposal because of the immense power behind Diane and the benefits the reform could bring, making it seem somewhat trivial.
None of the legislators are naive, or rather, the strong from their era are not as naive as those from Diane’s era.
They truly rose from the bottom, how could a few simple words from Diane change them?
Diane’s true success lies in... the power of momentum.
For example, when she and Yuan Tang·Di Feng went to find the first top genius of the Elf Race.
Backing her was already the massive power of Dongwu City and Di Feng, including 5 top potentials, three legislators, the wealthiest and most powerful city.
Perhaps Diane wasn’t quite clear, but the Yuan Ming Clan could definitely understand the immense energy Baiyi now held.
Firstly, Baiyi was top-tier and had bound two top geniuses and two Golden Upper Tiers, and he hadn’t told the council how he contacted the Star Federation.
And he held knowledge not leaked about the A Series City Defense Mecha and even support from the distant Federation.
But even such immense power can only change organizations that can bear and potentially gain more benefits in the future but can never change those whose interests are irreversible.
A rebellion that shouldn’t have existed in Dawn sprang up instantly, with petty nobles starting to unite and pressuring the council.
Originally, Baiyi only intended to use the upcoming war to tell the council of his even greater power, with the ultra-high-tier transformation like "Madness·Bloom."
And the full force of Dongwu City they hadn’t seen, along with what Di Feng and Dongwu City represented, to ensure that Dongwu City could remain unaffected through the reform.
But now, guided by Diane’s maneuvers and the sensibility of a group of old folks, it headed in a direction Baiyi hadn’t foreseen.
Otherwise, would the family represented by Luo Wa be so easy to compromise?
The agreement of a dozen legislator clans, along with the appearance of five top potentials and the currently ongoing council.
These are the dividing meetings of the post-reform Federation, Dawn, with 80% of power still stemming from the council.
As long as the legendary figures don’t want to intervene, no matter how much chaos arises below, it won’t stop the top-tier forces from preparing to re-divide the Federation.
For example, now the Law Enforcement Team formed by Oganna in the Capital City, the Silver Legion of the Di Feng family, and the private soldiers of other legislators began teleporting in all directions the day after Diane’s proposal was passed.
Those resisting the reform will ultimately have to shed their own blood to accelerate the implementation of the reform.
Dongwu City has enough power to suppress any reform, while the forces of other cities might obstruct the reform.
So, those at the top started to clean up and incorporate these forces.
The moment the legislators reached a conclusion was also the moment the endless bloodshed stopped.
This includes Baiyi’s deployment about Dongwu City; he had many reasons for wanting to start reforms when the war broke out, with public opinion being just a necessary element.
Military force is the only thing; the more brilliantly this war is won, the less impact it will have on Dongwu City.
Of course, few people know about these complex matters; they only know that the once extremely lenient council is about to reveal its iron-blooded methods that will shock the Federation.
It is now the fourth day of Baiyi entering the Dark Night World and the third day of the Federation meeting.
During these days, online, the player and supporter rhetoric gradually gained the upper hand, not because the turmoil from the reform wasn’t significant enough.
But because...
For example, Fatty Luo, who built the railway throughout the Federation, his body is still warm, his comments and resistance might have been just a passing discussion for the council.
Suddenly the doors of the Federation were pushed open, and a soldier’s words drew all their gazes toward him.
"Honorable legislators, there’s a change in Dongwu City! War... has come!"
Diane, who was drowsy yet held her ground, jolted awake and immediately turned to look at the Alchemist, somewhat dazed, occasionally hearing words about city lords stepping down.
But she ignored much of it, only waiting for a result, although this result seemed long in coming for her.
The legislators exchanged glances and finally looked at Heidinger.
Heidinger nodded: "I know, I have confidence in him; you won’t regret it."
He reached out and patted Eric on the shoulder, and the projection of the two gradually faded away.
The other legislators smiled as a massive projection began playing the situation of Dongwu City, concealing their various emotions within their eyes.
