On the bulletin board square in the inner city of Scarene.
Lu Cheng stood on a clock tower-like building and looked at the center of the bulletin square through the sniper rifle's scope.
In the center of the square, Elena was giving a speech that might be recorded in history books, the kind that would become a test point.
A group of researchers in the camp who were interested in history were unable to remain calm and personally took out cameras and other equipment to capture this moment.
"You bit your tongue again. Are you really not suitable for this kind of thing?"
Lu Cheng looked at Elena standing on the platform through the sniper rifle's telescope.
Elena's speech was transmitted to every corner of the royal city through radio broadcast, so that everyone in the royal city could hear it clearly.
Lu Cheng could also hear Elena's speech through the headset on his left side.
The queen's speech was not perfect. Lu Cheng could clearly hear her bite her tongue twice during the speech.
But the people below listened quietly without saying a word, and some even knelt down and prayed to Elena.
“Isn’t this a bit too frivolous?”
The sound of the kite rang beside Lu Cheng. After more than half a month of rest, his hand injury had healed a lot, but it would take some time before he could pick up the sniper rifle, so he served as Lu Cheng's observer in this operation.
"Child's play? What do you mean... The revolution ended in victory in less than a day, or a country with only 3,000 people is carrying out reforms?"
The reason why Lu Cheng personally served as a sniper was to protect Elena's safety. The crystal spirit could remind Lu Cheng who in the crowd had ill intentions towards Elena.
"Captain, what I mean is that those prisoners were sentenced to death just because of a bird..." Feng Kite didn't quite believe what the Crystal Spirit said. The ability to peek into people's hearts... even in the world of magic, it sounded too incredible.
"Then what should we do... ask Lord Bao to redress their grievances? We don't have the energy to do such a thing, and neither do they. It is this era that will send them to the execution ground."
When Lu Cheng was saying this, cheers suddenly broke out from below, and shouts of "Her Majesty Elena" could be heard everywhere.
The reason why these people were so excited was that Elena had just said, "From now on, Skarre will no longer own slaves, and the homeless will have a place to live."
"Such a hasty decision will lead to all kinds of problems if we don't help behind the scenes." Lu Cheng muttered to himself.
Elena's speech lasted for a full half hour. Finally, the people in the square, under the guidance of General Hubert, began the first step of modern management.
That is to register the identity of each person. This work is assisted by researchers and soldiers in the camp, and the registration will continue until tonight.
Elena's mission as queen was also initially completed. After she said the last word she should say, she made a victory V gesture to the clock tower in the distance.
She knew where Lucheng was.
Lu Cheng also waved to Elena, but she probably couldn't see it.
"The escort mission is over."
Lu Cheng watched Elena walk down the platform and directly put away the sniper rifle's bracket.
"Captain, what should we do next?" asked Feng Kite.
"Dig coal, build a thermal power plant after digging the coal, then start laying the railway all the way to Huiri City, and then start digging copper."
Lu Cheng glanced at the watch on his hand. The time was exactly twelve noon. There were special people in charge of the guidance work on Scarre's side, so Lu Cheng didn't need to worry about it.
"Now it's time to go check out the coal mine." Lu Cheng walked down the stairs to the bell tower.
… … …
"Promote all slaves to free people. Is this the instruction given by God to Queen Skarre? This is too crazy."
Maurice III rode on his walking beast and stopped at the outskirts of the bulletin board. He listened to Elena's slightly immature speech word for word.
The population of Skare is less than one percent of its heyday. It is a small country among small countries, and Maurice III could easily send troops to annex it.
But the problem is those gods...
Maurice III turned his gaze to the soldiers who were on guard around the square. Their attire was very mysterious in the eyes of Maurice III, whether it was the weapons in their hands or the attire on their bodies.
The soldiers wearing tactical helmets and bulletproof vests already had a bit of a sci-fi feel from Morris III's perspective. To them, it was the style recorded in the scriptures of God.
"Father, I know their commander. If you want to communicate with them, please let me do it." Nancy said to Morris III who was in deep thought.
"… "
Maurice III did not answer Nancy at this moment, because in Maurice III's eyes, the reason why the Queen of Scarre executed those old nobles and completely abolished slavery was because she was influenced by those gods. What's worse is that those gods are the ones controlling Scarre behind the scenes.
If the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai cooperates with them, slavery and the aristocracy will also disappear like Skarre, which will seriously threaten the fundamental interests of Maurice III and the Kingdom of Xiuenzhelai.
The Queen of Scarre might be happy to accept this change, but Maurice III was hesitant.
His next decision may very likely lead to the complete replacement of his own rule, or it may lead the Kingdom of Xiu Enzhe to another prosperity.
"What a difficult decision." While Morris III was still hesitating, his daughter Nancy beside him suddenly shouted out a word he had never heard before.
"Lucheng!"
Nancy called out Lu Cheng's name in Chinese. She had been looking for Lu Cheng in the crowd since just now, but unfortunately, she did not see Lu Cheng among the soldiers on guard around.
So she focused her attention on the convoy on the other side of the square. Shortly after Elena's speech ended, Nancy finally saw Lu Cheng appear at the convoy.
"Nancy..." It was too late for Morris III to stop his fourth princess. Nancy waved the reins and ran towards the convoy parked on the other side of the square.
Nancy sees things much more clearly than her father. If the Xiuenzhelai Kingdom does not get the help of the rabbits, the Far South Empire will rule the Xiuenzhelai Kingdom in a year or two!
There was no such thing as choice from the beginning!
"She's security."
Lu Cheng used the radio to notify his comrades who were responsible for guarding the convoy. After Nancy arrived near the convoy, she led the walking beast directly to Lu Cheng.
The fourth princess from another family has been away from the camp for more than twenty days, but Lu Cheng feels like she left just yesterday.
When Nancy trotted in front of Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng thought she would jump on him, but unfortunately she didn't...
"Lu Cheng, can it be repaired?" Nancy immediately took out the glasses that Professor Lin had given her and handed them to Lu Cheng with some trepidation.
"Did it explode during the black powder experiment?"
Lu Cheng looked at the cracks on the glasses. The glasses given by Professor Lin were not cheap goods. The chance of them breaking if they fell to the ground was very small. Moreover, Lu Cheng felt that Nancy was such a cautious child that she would not drop such a "precious" thing on the ground.
"Yes... I used a little too much gunpowder when I was testing." Nancy looked a little embarrassed after Lu Cheng exposed her reckless behavior.
"Even if it's blown to pieces, we can still repair it. We'll talk about it after we get back to the camp."
Lu Cheng returned the glasses to Nancy and looked at a man riding a walking beast walking behind Nancy. Behind him was a small escort and a bunch of people dressed strangely.
The moment he approached, Lu Cheng heard his comrades on guard load their guns immediately.
"This is my father, Maurice Shuenzelai, and the king of Shuenzelai Kingdom."
Nancy sensed the tense atmosphere in the air and immediately introduced her biological father to Lu Cheng.
"We want to help Scarre mine their black flame stone mine. Before we have a formal discussion, would you like to come and see our mining method?" Lu Cheng made an invitation without waiting for Morris III to say hello.
