Chapter 825 Xingti declares anarchy

At this moment. Star Antimony, Leipzig.

The silent snow has lasted for a week.

Now the snow is getting lighter, the sound of horse hooves has gradually leaked out from the snow curtain, and you can see outside through the sparse snow curtain. It seems that the snow will stop before night falls.

Obviously, the Winter Master has no intention of surpassing the Amber Master. Therefore, the number of visions cannot be eight.

Because of this, many Xingti people feel sorry for the war situation in the north.

Just one day earlier, the Narcissus Principality had already been successfully established. Even before the frontline soldiers had fully retreated to the fortress, the heavy snow was about to stop.

If the Black Hawks on the front had held out for two more days, the situation would have been completely different...

——You have persisted for several months, why can’t you hold on for two more days?

If we turn back now, maybe we can still make it in time!

Because of this, the pressure on the Black Hawk Principality from public opinion in Xingti suddenly increased.

As the snow subsided, daily life in Xingti City began to resume. People went on a shopping spree, buying large quantities of food and self-defense weapons to stockpile. While such heavy snowfall was unlikely to return, its presence served as a wake-up call: even in situations other than war, Xingti's cities could be in danger.

And the media has become extremely excited because of this——

Many people want to know what happened outside and why Xingti has become like this as they have been living in isolation these days.

As soon as they bought the newspaper, they were stunned.

The elevation of the Winter Division, the independence of the Narcissus Duchy, the death of two consecutive monarchs, the death of the first Red Prime Minister, and the suspected death of Count Leipzig...

——What the hell is going on!

How come so many big things happened in less than a week?!

Which ones are true and which ones are rumors?

Some say Valentine VIII is dead, while others say he is not. Similarly, the Red Prime Minister and the Count of Leipzig have also tried to "refute" the rumors, claiming that they are still alive.

Some said Valentine VII hadn't died at all, but was simply forced from the palace by the usurping Red Chancellor. Another newspaper claimed that Valentine VII had perished alongside the first Red Chancellor. Some even claimed that Valentine VII and VIII were both murdered by the Red Chancellor's unfaithful queen, who then reincarnated as the real Valentine.

But no matter what the truth is, the fact that this news has been released... already shows that the top management of Star Antimony has fallen into chaos and is unable to take care of themselves.

Just as people were out of danger, they were thrown into confusion and panic again due to confusing news from all sides.

Even those who are not sensitive to politics can realize at this moment...something big is about to happen to Xingti.

War, chaos, disaster and death will all come unexpectedly.

In this atmosphere of panic and anxiety, people have become sensitive and irritable.

Many civilian newspapers criticized the cowardly behavior of the Black Hawk soldiers who "chose to flee on the eve of victory", believing that it was this defeat that directly led to the independence of the Narcissus Principality.

Because for today's Xingti, Narcissus Territory is a very important component - after all, when the overall economy of Xingti collapsed, only Narcissus Territory was still making stable profits.

One of the main reasons for the collapse of the Star Antimony economy was the overload of the alchemist system caused by the Goblin Chamber of Commerce.

Narcissus Territory originally had few alchemists, and even the entire alchemy industry was not very developed. Of course, this might be due to the discrimination against alchemists by mages... In the past, when the alchemy industry was at its peak, Narcissus Territory was also notoriously slow to develop.

Regardless, they now possess the healthiest industrial structure in the entire Star Antimony system. It's all thanks to the continuous blood transfusions from Narcissus Territory that Star Antimony has been able to survive this long despite its seemingly "dying" and "crumbling" state.

This is precisely the direct reason why Narcissus Territory demands independence - the Moon Children infiltrated the Mage Lords, which was a political reason, but what really led to Narcissus Territory's independence was purely economic factors.

Everyone knew that Xingti's problems were persistent, continuous, and fundamental. This blood transfusion had no end in sight; no matter how much money was spent, it would never come back, and it was destined to increase.

When the person who borrows money has no intention of paying it back, it is not called borrowing...it is called robbery.

The mainland of Xingti is too far away from the Narcissus Principality.

It is so far away that many Narcissus people do not have enough knowledge that "Narcissus Principality belongs to Xinganti".

Moreover, the army of mixed alchemical giants that was integrated from the Black Hawk Duchy in the past only reached the outskirts of the Narcissus Duchy. The Narcissus Duchy, which was in chaos due to the illness of the Narcissus Duchy, had already surrendered.

Because they had never actually been hurt by the beatings, they had no corresponding memories at all. In just twenty years, without any special education, not many people in the Narcissus Principality had a real sense of belonging to the Star Antimony.

Coupled with the intellectual superiority fostered by the Mage Tower, at least 80% of the Narcissus people do not consider the Narcissus Principality to be part of Xingti. They generally believe that this is just a strategy used by the Mage Lords to show goodwill to Xingti - a vassal state system, at most paying tribute and expressing their attitude will be enough.

Therefore, when Xingti really started to ask for unlimited money, the Narcissus people immediately refused to do it.

——You just got beaten up by the people of Avalon. How dare you come to us for money?

Although the Moon Sons who infiltrated had already prepared for war.

But their agitation had not even begun, and they had already declared victory in advance.

As a result of their collusion with the Black Hawk's leadership, the Mage Lords hadn't even officially joined the war yet... and they couldn't. Despite months of fighting, they still hadn't penetrated the core territory of Narcissus Territory. The Mage Tower couldn't even reach the front lines, and the Star Antimony-Black Hawk coalition had already been defeated.

After fighting for so long, the total casualties were not even half of those caused by the rout during the retreat. This sounds shameful.

So many Star Antimony people began to wonder if the Black Hawks were just working without putting in any effort - they actually didn't want to fight at all, they were just playing along with the people of the Narcissus Principality!

Many civilian newspapers began to denounce the Black Hawk leader, demanding that they be held responsible for the defeat. Because on Xingti, no one could be held responsible for the defeat.

Everyone knew that Narcissus Territory's independence would mean the complete collapse of Star Antimony's economy. Without Narcissus Territory's financial support, even the Lionheart City police wouldn't be able to pay their salaries—and their wages were already two months in arrears.

Leipzig, another economic and technological center of Xingti, was also in chaos at this moment.

Because their economy was independent of Star City, their superior salaries were essentially dependent on the Count Leipzig's "private coffers." No one knew what the consequences of Count Leipzig's disappearance would be... Whether Count Leipzig died or left Star City, it would mean that all of them would be immediately unemployed once the existing city assets were exhausted. As a result, almost all public departments in Star City began to gradually shut down.

When they went out to buy supplies, they began to notice something was amiss. Prices of everything began to soar, even to completely abnormal levels. But even so, they had to buy... because there were only a few stores left open.

The price of bread has increased by 30% by the time a line of people moves from the end to the front. Thieves and robbers have already begun to gather nearby, ready to raid the store at any moment.

The intensity of the Black Hawks' reaction was far beyond their expectations.

It was the evening of March 31st, the second day after the establishment of the Narcissus Principality.

The Black Eagle Principality declared independence.

——Oh, I guessed it right.

We really don't want to fight, and we are indeed acting with the Narcissus people - what you said is all right, so do you have any opinions?

As night fell, people's emotions became increasingly excited. Rebellion surged in their hearts, and years of accumulated dissatisfaction burst out at this moment.

Under the light snow, the windows of the goblin merchants' banks were smashed one after another by the desperate people. The extraordinary people gathered into small teams and began to "hunt" in the city.

Their main hunting target is banks.

Originally, these banks were protected by troll security and city police, but now the police can no longer get paid, and they will continue to be unable to do so for the foreseeable future. Naturally, few people are willing to stand up to these crazy and deranged superhumans...

As the Black Hawks in the police station left the team one after another, they prepared to return to their real hometown.

Some local police officers from Xingti also took off their uniforms, put on masks and mixed into the crowd to participate in the robbery!

After all, the opponents are just a bunch of goblins and trolls! Without the police station deploying suppression devices, defeating them is much easier than venturing into the dragon's lair - and there's just as much gold!

As the culprits, the goblins were also killed by the extraordinary people in anger.

By the time those who were a step behind realized this, almost all the banks had already been robbed. The most foolish among them began to try to rob the nobles—and were then killed by the nobles who were also extraordinary beings and their entourage and guards.

Then, those who came later, not wanting to return empty-handed, began to try to rob the shops on the street. However, they were also stopped by other extraordinary people, and they were caught in a deadly fight without any purpose.

This was the most absurd and crazy night in the history of Xingti.

The Moon Children, Demonologists, and Alchemists all began to move towards the headquarters of their organizations.

As for Queen Louise, now that the Red Prime Minister was dead, perhaps only the Moon Children were willing to obey her command. In fact, the Moon Children were now gathering towards the palace.

The Xingti Army Department belongs to the Demonic Society.

The transcendent power born in this chaotic atmosphere greatly increased their strength, making them the strongest.

That night, the Xingti Army announced that Xingti had entered a state of anarchy. To ensure the basic needs and personal safety of residents, the Army would impose martial law on all cities tomorrow.
