“Get out of the way! Get out of the way!”
"Don't get in the way~ or you'll die!"
"Let me in~ Let me in~ My money~~ My money~~~ Woo woo woo~~"
"Dangdangdang~Suspended business~~Suspended business today~~"
"Open the door! I am the lieutenant general of the Third Legion of Dawn! Open the door! I order you to open the door immediately!"
"Go! Go! Go! Go in and get our gold back!"
"Boom boom boom"
The gate of a branch of Dawn Bank was broken open, and noble officers, wealthy businessmen, and two groups of guards rushed into the bank like a flood.
The bank staff were completely unable to resist and were all savagely pushed aside. If anyone insisted on blocking the way, they would be pushed down at best and beaten up at worst.
"Take out the vault key!"
"No, there is no key. The supervisor is not here!"
“Puff~Ah~~”
Someone took out a knife, and the white knife went in and the red knife came out.
"Murder~~Murder~~"
"Whoever talks about the key again, this is what will happen to that bastard!"
In the chaos, the bank counter was pushed over and all valuables were looted.
In the end, even the vault was forcibly pried open, and all the gold and silver stored inside was taken away.
The scary thing is that this chaos happened in not just one bank branch, but almost all branches of Dawn Bank.
The news of the outbreak in the harbor area spread rapidly in all directions like a tsunami.
With an unparalleled determination to protect their own property, no one can stop the spread of information.
In this chaos, the nobles and wealthy people who controlled powerful private armed forces took great advantage and almost robbed all the gold of the Dawn Bank.
However, ordinary nobles and merchants could only get a small share, or even nothing at all.
The bank deposit certificates in their hands became useless pieces of paper!
Soon after, new news broke out in the streets of Dawn City.
"The fake bills from Dawn Bank were forged by the Levender royal family!"
The first person to release the news is said to be a certain Morningside Bank.
Some people also say it was Prince Kao. Anyway, the source is no longer traceable, but everyone says so.
As a result, the Levinder merchants in Dawn City were in big trouble.
Their personal safety was threatened, their property was robbed, and even the goods at the dock were seized by people of various identities.
Except for some Levender merchants who ran fast, the rest of the Levender merchants lost all their money, and many unlucky ones even lost their lives.
The chaos in Dawn City has continued and is getting worse.
But the strange thing is that no one came out to maintain order.
The Duke was nowhere to be seen.
On the third day, thugs began to attack the Dawn Castle.
But the Dawn Castle was guarded by Adrian family soldiers, so the thugs did not succeed.
On the fifth day, the chaos spread from Dawn County, where Dawn City was located, to the fifteen counties in the south.
The news of Dawn Bank's bankruptcy spread like a storm, quickly throughout Weilan and spread to the entire Natural Alliance.
At this moment, Duke of Dawn Reid was no longer in Dawn City.
He is in the Lion Castle in the Rhine City of Aaron.
To be more precise, he was in King Danger's study.
"Pah!"
Danger threw a document scroll at Reid's face, and Reid stood straight, letting the scroll hit his cheek.
Danger roared like a lion: "At this time, why are you, a duke, coming to me? Are you looking for death?!"
Reid's body trembled slightly: "Your Majesty, the situation is beyond my control. Prince Kao came specifically for me."
"With his power and position, everything he said was true, and no one believed me. The entire Dawn City was in chaos, even the army was in chaos."
"I have no way of maintaining order."
Danger calmed down a little, but the anger in his heart was still burning:
"Khal! It's Kahal again! These rogue gardeners are always ruining my plans!"
It was okay if it was bad before, at least the two countries still had the friendship of jointly fighting against the Glorious Empire, but this time they went too far, simply cutting off Aaron's retreat! Danger took a deep breath, thinking of all kinds of ideas in his mind.
The Glorious Empire put him under tremendous pressure, but this pressure was not unsolvable. As long as he was willing to give in, he might be able to buy some buffer time.
And he can use this time to concentrate all his efforts on doing something big.
Of course, this big thing must be done!
After all, Aaron doesn't have the final say alone.
This kingdom, which lasted for a thousand years, was a place where all the major forces were intertwined. Although he tried hard to consolidate power, the results were always unsatisfactory, and he was met with countless protests.
In short, counterattacking Kao is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time, but Vilan's storm is already raging wildly.
What should he do?
For a moment, he had no idea how to deal with it and could only watch as Weilan South fell into a vortex of chaos.
Looking at the poor fellow in front of him who looked like a delicate woman, Dange really wanted to kill him with a knife, but his reason told him that this escaped duke must be kept alive.
As long as he is alive, when the opportunity arises in the future, he can help him return to Weilan and continue to be his watchdog.
Thinking of this, he tried hard to suppress the disgust in his heart, and a hint of gentleness appeared on his face: "You must be very tired after all the way here."
"Alai, take the Duke to the Red Castle to rest."
The Red Castle is specially built to entertain foreign guests, especially those like Reid who come here to seek political asylum.
The butler Alai immediately came in and took the Duke away.
"Come here, issue the Lion Order, summon all the lords' representatives of Rhine City, open an emergency noble council, and discuss the situation in Weilan together."
Given Weilan’s current situation, if Aaron wants to interfere, he must dispatch the legion and fleet to conduct cross-sea suppression.
This matter is very big and involves countless interests.
Even if he is the king, his words do not count. He must gather the opinions of all the great nobles in the country before making a decision.
At the same time.
White sturgeon island.
Rosen was also in his government study, checking the various information sent by the Island Intelligence Bureau.
"The Dawn Bank went bankrupt, Reid fled, and the major noble families gathered their own troops and took advantage of the chaos to plunder a large amount of civilian wealth."
"In the south of Weilan, a situation of warlord separatism is rapidly emerging."
"Countless merchants went bankrupt, factories stopped production, and workers lost their jobs. Only the villages remained relatively peaceful."
"The Northern Earl also had a large number of bank deposits, which have now become worthless. The loss is extremely severe. The Shire County suffered the heaviest losses, and Earl Robert's wealth was reduced by 30% in an instant."
Rosen grinned and said, "The time is ripe."
He immediately handed a document to Master Stonard, titled "Notice of Transfer of Debts of the Common People of Veran".
"Okay, pass this document to the business community in the south of Dawn City."
"Remember, we only accept Dawn Bank deposits from commoners. We won't accept any from nobles. If a noble wants us to accept a deposit, he or she must first swear to give up his or her noble status."
Stonard's face showed a strong excitement: "Yes, sir!"
But that's not enough.
This was because the southern noble lords were rapidly transforming into local warlords, and if we really wanted to wait for these people to gain a foothold, we would have to eliminate them one by one in the future.
It will not only consume a lot of manpower and material resources, but will also cause huge damage to the South.
Therefore, while the chaos continues, the seeds that were buried earlier among the people will be stimulated to germinate.
How to catalyze?
The debt transfer letter was the first catalyst.
The second is to demonstrate the military deterrence of the White Sturgeon Island. This must be clearly visible and completely destroy people’s desire to resist.
So, when the notice was issued, at the secret aircraft research base in the mountains of the island, two specially reinforced Growlers were preparing to take off.
One of the planes was piloted by Rosen himself and Altris.
The other plane was piloted by Neferoniya and Melchilina.
These two Howlers have greatly increased fuel reserves, greatly increased the fuselage's defense capabilities against various spells, and are equipped with maximum-power psychic weapons.
Especially the mental weapons, whose power is an order of magnitude higher than the weapons displayed by Queen Kao.
After everything was ready, Rosen drove the Roar onto the runway first, with Neferniloya following behind at a distance of more than thirty meters.
"Niya~Are you ready?"
"I'm ready."
"Very good, then let's fly around the giant island of Weilan!"
An ordinary high-level wizard can drive for an hour and fly 350 kilometers.
With the magic power of four high-level mages and a specially modified aircraft, they can fly 5,000 kilometers in one breath without stopping, which is enough to complete the flight around the island.
"Woo~~~"
"Woo~~~"
The two Roarers took off one after another and soon disappeared into the blue sky.
