Section 697 Rumors(1/2)
Green Continent, Lan Kingdom Palace.
In the dimly lit meeting hall, a dozen men sat silently.
The atmosphere was a bit depressing, and the man sitting at the top had a gloomy expression, as if he had heard bad news.
"How many people left in total?"
After a long period of dead silence, the man sitting at the top finally asked.
"A rough estimate, at least more than 100,000 people, which is about one-fifth of the total number of people." A handsome young man stood up and answered.
The man sitting at the top looked increasingly gloomy, clenched his fists tightly, and hit the armrest hard.
"Damn it!"
He seemed very upset and couldn't help cursing, "I should have killed him in the first place to avoid future troubles!"
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. We have an old saying in the Eastern Continent that if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. This group of old, weak and remnant soldiers, a ragtag bunch, can't play much role at all. Rather than waste our resources here, it's better to let them get out as soon as possible!
"A young man spoke to comfort him. He had thick eyebrows and a vicious look in his eyes. You could tell at a glance that he was definitely not a good person.
"What I'm angry about is not that they left, but that they didn't take the country seriously at all!"
The man at the top gritted his teeth and looked livid, "How can the country's grand plan be child's play!"
The wooden handrails were creaking and were about to break.
"Lan Country, they don't just come and leave whenever they want!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down." The young man stood up and said, "You're just an ant, what's the big deal?"
"Let Qin Wu go to the Red Earth Continent and tell them the consequences of offending the Lord of the Ambergris River!"
"Then there's Lao Aiqing."
"It is my honor to serve His Majesty!"
Also shocked and angry at this moment were Lacey Maris, Gavin Maris, Ricardo and others in the side hall of the Red Castle in Dragon City.
"Who can tell me where these wild dogs came from?"
Lacey's pretty face turned pale with anger, and her towering chest kept rising and falling. At this moment, no one was in the mood to appreciate the rare and spectacular scenery. They all had serious faces, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Who can tell me how the trash who was eating dirt in Edge Town a half ago did all this?"
Lacey was screaming hysterically, completely ignoring the image of Princess Qingcheng. She was going crazy.
After these days of pursuit and interception, it was clear that the man had no choice but to get out in despair. But suddenly so many mercenaries appeared out of nowhere, vying to join him.
In just a few days, the size of the expeditionary force expanded to as many as 120,000. The military headquarters worked overtime all night and day, but still could not meet the overwhelming registration demand.
She couldn't help but ask herself whether she was crazy or the world was crazy.
"I have sent someone to inquire." Ricardo stepped forward and said, "The reason why these mercenaries joined is not because of Chen Xing. He does not have such a reputation, but because of another person..."
Princess Lacey nodded and signaled Ricardo to continue.
"This man's name is Tie Nuo. He is the leader of the Thunder Light Regiment. He was born in the mountains of his country."
"For fighting against the projection of the Gluttonous Lord in the northern part of the Dragon Tooth Mountains, the Human Survival Committee awarded him the title of 'Hero of Humanity'."
"Other specific deeds are still under investigation, but based on what is known so far, he is indeed a respectable person."
"Sure enough, it's not that guy! I knew how someone with such a despicable character could be supported by so many people." Lacey seemed to be relieved, at least this result made it easier for her to accept.
"Now that we know the crux of the matter, things will be easier to handle. As long as we destroy this Tienuo, all problems will be solved!" The speaker was a young man with a smile.
His name is Jiang Jun, the first heir to the Jiang family, a large family in Dragon City, and a top student studying at White Deer Academy, a top college in the Eastern Continent. He is well versed in both military and political affairs, and is extremely talented. He is highly valued by Princess Lexi.
Gavin Maris and Ricardo looked at each other, with unnatural expressions on their faces.
The Red Kingdom is a martial artist and worships heroes.
They feel a little uncomfortable when they make a real hero look bad.
"Well, this is not a bad idea." Lacey nodded and pondered. As long as she uses the news media to vilify Tienuo like she did to Chen Xing, the internal unity of the expeditionary force will be broken without any attack.

"This, isn't that good..." Gavin Maris objected subconsciously.
Lacey's face turned cold and she said coldly, "Dear brother, if you cherish feathers and don't want to participate in this matter, just let me, sister, take the responsibility."
"Just please remember, this is for the future of the family and the principality."
"How can this be possible!" Gavin Maris immediately objected, "Hiding behind my sister when something happens happens. How will I face my mother when I get to heaven?"
"As the eldest son, I must protect my younger brothers and sisters!" Gavin Maris said righteously.
"elder brother……"
After some sympathy between the brother and sister, the matter was settled.
Destroy that so-called human hero!
Since ancient times, virtue has been just a fig leaf for those in power. In the face of interests, all virtues are like paper and can be easily torn into pieces.
But what they don't know is that it's easy to discredit the mayor of an edge town, but it's not as easy as they imagined to discredit a real hero.
You know, there is a saying among the mercenaries:
"Besides the money in your pocket and the gun in your hand, if there is anything else you can trust in this world, it is Tie Nuo, and it is the Thunder Light Group!"
The hero is dead, but his spirit lives on!
His dream has been inherited by countless people.
After Tie Nuo's death, the mercenaries gradually saw the true face of the Lan Kingdom.
Beneath the beautiful exterior are naked intrigues and interests. Where there are any dreams, they are just victims of the power game.
The only one who can be trusted is the tall man who devotes all his life and blood to pursuing his dreams.
They firmly believe that as long as they follow that figure, they can reach their ideal land.
So, they came here to fully support Tienor's successor.
"A shocking scam. The rumored human hero turned out to be an exiled criminal smuggled back from the Black Death Continent!"
"Hero or criminal, there is only one truth!"
"Serious protest, individual staff members of the Human Survival Committee have neglected their duties, and there have been major omissions in the awarding of titles!"
"Tie Nuo, a native of Daling Mountain, has a violent personality. When he was a teenager, he kept his height and weight in check and often bullied his peers. He got into fights with others on the street several times and was a frequent visitor to the detention center..."
Reports with evil intentions came as expected, and various tabloids and magazines were overwhelming, doing their best to slander, distort, and slander Tienuo.
Although not many people within the expeditionary force believed it, especially those who had been in contact with Tienuo, they were so angry that they wanted to smash the newspaper office, but Chen Xing ordered the gendarmerie to restrain him, otherwise they would have done it long ago.
But the people are ignorant. They have no contact with Tienuo and have no way of knowing the deeds of heroes. All the news comes from newspapers and magazines.
Another characteristic of the people is that they follow what others say. When lies become the majority, lies will become truth.
For most people, if newspapers and magazines say this person is a good person, then this person is a good person; if newspapers and magazines say this person is a bad person, this person is a bad person.
For a time, Tie Nuo's reputation plummeted.
All kinds of dirty water was thrown at him, and Tienuo was quickly labeled as a "fugitive", "exiled felon", "smuggler", "juvenile delinquent" and "violent maniac" by people who did not know the truth.
"Let me go, I'm going to fight them!"
Huozui's eyes were red, like an angry bull. Seven or eight military policemen grabbed his hands and feet and pulled him back with all their strength.
Other members of the Lightning Regiment were also agitated, and each one of them looked like a powder keg about to explode. The military police blocked them with their bodies, and some of them were knocked to the ground by the furious soldiers, looking disgraced and embarrassed.
Chen Xing rushed to the scene and saw the chaotic scene. He shouted with some hatred, "Stop pulling, let them go!"
"It's better to make things bigger and let our enemies laugh!"
"Let's disperse the expeditionary force and everyone will go back to farming!"
“With this little energy, it’s better to go back to farming!”
The military police stopped, but the people of the Thunderbolt Regiment did not move either. Although they were cursing, they still returned to the camp and swallowed their anger.
Chen Xing also felt hatred in his heart. It was okay to slander his name. He thought he was not a good person, but Tie Nuo had been upright and upright in his life. It was really infuriating that he was being slandered like this even after his death. He did such a thing.
Humans are so insane that they can no longer be called human beings. They behave like animals!
Just when everyone was filled with anger, a voice resounded throughout the world.
"Today, on behalf of the White Tower Academy, I release two new general skills to the world. They are body enlargement and steel body."
"These two skills are the innate skills of the former leader of the Lightning Regiment, Tie Nuo. They were provided by him and perfected by the White Tower Academy Skills Research Institute."
"The hero is dead, but his contribution to this world will never be forgotten!"
Ramsden's voice spread throughout the world, and all rumors and slanders were self-defeating.
How could the person who the guardian of humanity personally spoke out to clear his name be a criminal!
The rumors were only spread by the media of the Red Dragon Principality, but Ramsden was targeting the entire world. Even a three-year-old child knew whose words were more trustworthy.
The angry people of the Red Dragon Principality took to the streets. They burned newspapers and magazines to protest against the media's slander of heroes.
To be continued...
