Aslan felt a sense of sadness.
Afterwards, the 'truth' about Lux's disappearance was revealed.
There was no kidnapping, it was just abduction at most.
Councillor Sara's son, Aslan Sara, took Miss Lacus away without permission on the pretext of going out for a trip, without notifying the guards, which led to this blunder.
After discovering that the affair had become a big deal, Aslan quickly "turned himself in", and Speaker Siegel did not hold him accountable too much.
As soon as the news came out, public opinion about PLANT exploded again.
This time, no one doubted whether this was a conspiracy. After all, everyone knew that the Kulain family and the Sarah family were good friends.
In the perception of the PLANT people, even if the two families fell out, they would never stab each other in the back.
So the conspiracy theory is naturally refuted.
However, the 'culprit' and 'kidnapper' Aslan soon became the target of public criticism.
Because Patrick's proposal of marriage was also exposed by "someone with ulterior motives".
The people, who regarded Her Royal Highness Princess Lacus of PLANT as their only true love, naturally unanimously expressed their opposition to the marriage.
Now looking at Aslan's recent frequent visits, coupled with this "abduction" incident, Aslan has almost become the public enemy of PLANT.
... ... ...
Hostility towards Aslan is strongest especially among his peers.
You, a kid, want to get your hands on our goddess (Nuclear Good )? !
Other older fans who treat Lux as their daughters also said: You want to marry my daughter? You are dreaming!
Faced with this situation, Aslan was about to cry. He wished he could travel through time and go back to strangle himself for agreeing to it.
Moreover, when he returned home and faced his father who was somewhat surprised and asked him about the progress between him and Lacus with an expression of "my son is doing great", Aslan really cried.
What a progress!
He didn't even get to see Lux this time, and was dragged out by Sigel to take the blame.
However, after listening to Aslan's explanation, Patrick was not angry. Although he was a little disappointed, he still encouraged Aslan optimistically:
"It's okay, son. At least after this, in the eyes of the public, you and Lux are already related, and you also helped the Kulain family. You will have more opportunities in the future. Just keep working hard."
Patrick didn't care about Shiger's behavior of letting Aslan take the blame.
Just take the blame, I’m afraid I won’t even have a chance to take the blame.
Although Aslan's reputation among the people has been ruined now, at least Shigeru owes them a favor, which will be more conducive to promoting this marriage.
Patrick was very optimistic about this matter, but he didn't know that, in fact, ever since he learned that Lux had gone to the dimensional city, Siegel had gradually tended to deny this marriage in his heart.
Because this is of no benefit to Lux.
In addition to the fact that Lacus's value has skyrocketed and they are no longer a good match, there is also disappointment with Aslan.
This disappointment became increasingly intense since Aslan accepted his deception.
It’s nothing, just his ability is too poor.
He was fooled so easily. How can he protect Lux in the future?
Siegel could fully foresee that even if the time came and the matter of the Dimension City was made public, Lux would still face no less trouble.
If someone doesn't have enough ability to help Lux solve these troubles, then this person is not worthy of the trust.
Aslan obviously does not have this ability, at least not at the moment, and it is hard to say whether he will have it in the future.
Since he doesn't like her, he naturally won't consider entrusting Lacus to Aslan.
Therefore, this marriage is basically a failure.
Patrick didn't know all this, and he still thought it was a good deal. Little did he know that Aslan was just taking the blame for nothing.
At least the favor I owe you?
Who says that you can only repay favors through marriage? Just repay in other ways!
With the silence from Sarah's family, the disappearance incident ended in a farce.
……
This side of the dimensional city.
Su Mo didn’t know about the farce in the SEED world. After watching Lux go back, he also walked into the dimensional gate.
However, he was not going back to the Harry Potter world, but came to the Zanmei world.
In fact, things in the Harry Potter world are already on the right track. It doesn't matter whether he helps or not. It only takes a little time to complete the mission.
On the contrary, in the world of Zhan Mei, there are many things that require his attention.
Because the plan here is not going smoothly.
At least, it was far from as smooth as expected.
...To be continued.....Mountain.
Chapter 179: The situation is different from what I expected, I got the wrong script, and the divine punishment reappeared
In Su Mo's expectation, Black Gun stayed in the world of Zhan Mei to rebuild Camelot. Given the current chaotic situation, he could take advantage of it. With the support of the huge civilian force of the Cang Tian Cult, it should be very smooth.
At least it can be said that as soon as the flag was raised, the people responded unanimously and welcomed the royal army on the spot.
At least it should be smooth sailing and make rapid progress.
But the reality is slightly different from what was expected.
At the beginning, with the cooperation of Pope Liva, the elf girls from the Dimension City worked together to create a large-scale illusion magic formation.
At the grand ceremony of the Cang Tian Cult, the chosen king, Hei Qiangdai, was successfully born.
As expected, the believers of the Cang Tian Sect responded one after another and began to welcome the royal teacher.
Hei Qiangdai took advantage of this wave and directly took over a large area of territory with the initial team of the Dimension City and the Knights under the Order of Heaven.
During this period, the powerful strength displayed by Hei Qiangdai, the healing magic of the girls, and the "miracle" displayed by a large amount of diluted healing elixirs further confirmed her identity as the chosen king.
In addition, a series of reforms after the conquest of territory liberated the people from previous oppression, making them realize that this was a team that could allow them to live a good life.
As a result, the believers of the Order of Heaven surrendered voluntarily, hoping to join the team and do their part. Those people who were not believers yet also gradually began to believe in the religion and support Camelot.
Hei Qiangdai's great cause of nation-building began to develop steadily and positively like a snowball.
Up until this point, everything was going as expected.
Even the girls who came from Black Gun to Dimension City all agreed that if nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to take over the entire empire in another week and build the world version of Camelot.
Then, as expected, an accident occurred.
When the revolutionary army saw that someone had jumped out to take advantage of this "June 37" period, they immediately became angry.
They had gone to great lengths to wipe out the remnants of the empire, and the revolution had just succeeded, so how could they let others snatch away the fruits of victory!
After being a little confused at the beginning, the revolutionary army reacted quickly and announced that they were the ones who overthrew the empire and they were the heirs to the empire's territory.
And officially announced the establishment of the "XX Principality (too lazy to name it, so it will be referred to as the Principality from now on)", taking over all the territories of the former empire.
Then he turned around and defined the "Camelot Dynasty" led by Black Gun as rebels, and sent troops directly to wipe them out.
This was a decision made after careful consideration by the top leaders of the revolutionary army.
Originally, they were planning to stabilize the domestic situation and then hold a grand founding ceremony with full fanfare to demonstrate the authority, rationality and legitimacy of their regime.
But the current situation does not allow them to delay any longer. If they do not declare the founding of a nation as soon as possible, the Camelot army will soon annex nearly half of the territory.
Moreover, after the founding of the country, on the one hand, it was possible to suppress the public opinion in the country that welcomed the royal army, and on the other hand, it also provided a legitimate reason to send troops.
At the same time, they also took some other remedial measures, such as policy.
All previous plans were scrapped, and they simply copied Camelot's homework, also implementing many people-friendly policies in an effort to win over the hearts of the people.
To this end, the Principality has even put in greater efforts, arranging as many benefits as possible, and even making a big promise even if there are no benefits.
In short, he used every possible means to buy off the people and make them support the principality.
Moreover, they tried their best to discredit Camelot in various forms and control public opinion.
Believe it or not, they actually succeeded. At least those non-religious people within the Principality's sphere of influence no longer had the intention of defecting to Camelot.
Even some believers couldn't help but waver in their faith.
Because for these people, it doesn’t matter who is in power. They only care about who can give them a good life.
As long as they can live a good life, they don't bother to worry about national affairs. If they have that time, wouldn't it be better to farm?
Well, actually, the attention is distracted by those benefits.
Life was too hard before, and now that there are finally benefits to be gained, people naturally want to ensure that they can get the immediate benefits first.
As a result, the Principality responded at the speed of light, quickly stabilized the internal problems, and then immediately sent troops to wipe out the "rebels".
This wave of operations caused a lot of trouble for Hei Qiangdai.
The troops sent by the principality to obstruct were not difficult to deal with, because these principality troops reorganized from the revolutionary army were completely no match for the Camelot army.
On Camelot's side, there are Black Gun, the elf girls, and ordinary girls from the Dimension City. The weakest of them can fight against a hundred people alone, while the strong ones, like Black Gun himself, can destroy an army with just one fire of cannon.
This is just the high-end combat power, the low-level combat power is also stronger than the principality’s army.
The lower-level soldiers on Camelot's side are all fanatical warriors with faith bonuses, and they are trained by the knights composed of original members of the Order of Heaven.
These original members were once Esdeath's subordinates and the ace troops of the empire. They can definitely be said to be the most elite troops in the world of Zelda: Fallen.
The warriors of faith trained by these elite instructors and officers are at least capable of defeating several soldiers from the opposing principality.
Moreover, Camelot has the assistance of the Dimension City. There are fifty secondary standard imperial instruments alone, and a full one thousand ministerial instruments. There is enough ordinary equipment, as well as as much as you need.
There is no shortage of resources. Not to mention that the Cang Tian Cult has a good mass base and can collect a lot of food and wages, the Dimension City also has a large amount of idle materials from the Apocalypse World to provide support.
In addition to the generals on Camelot's side, the Marshal of the Army: Black Gundai, the left and right generals: Black Hairless and Nero, their combat command capabilities are far better than the opposite side.
It can be said that Camelot not only has an overall advantage in military strength, but its logistical strength is also enough to crush the Principality.
Because of this gap, the principality can't stop Camelot's speed of annexing territory no matter how hard it tries.
The things that really trouble Camelot actually come mainly from the people.
Once this war started, it actually caused resistance among the people!
This is not difficult to understand, because Camelot's reputation among the people is almost zero.
As for this Camelot that suddenly appeared, people in other places knew nothing about it except the initial occupied areas.
On the other hand, the Principality, at least, has the merit of overthrowing the empire and liberating them, so its reputation is still very high.
More importantly, the Principality Army is the previous revolutionary army. The soldiers in it are all from the civilian population and they all have relatives among the people.
Therefore, in the eyes of the people, the Camelot army was unknown and had no reputation. It only had a religious banner of "the chosen king", but it actually killed their loved ones.
Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for the people in the newly occupied areas to welcome the royal army.
Faced with this situation, Camelot had to slow down its pace of territorial annexation and turn most of its energy to dealing with internal affairs.
The Duchy Army successfully blocked Camelot's advance at the cost of their lives.
In fact, Camelot was also quite helpless. Black Gun and other high-level officials had already thought of this possibility, so they tried not to kill them from the beginning. That was why they were able to quickly occupy a large area of territory.
Because in the previous siege of Camelot, there was almost no resistance and the troops were so restrained, so naturally there were no casualties.
But going to war with the principality is different from the previous surprise attack on the garrison. The enemy is here to destroy them, and there is no reason not to fight back after being beaten.
At the same time, Camelot cannot avoid this battle, because even if Camelot stops its expansion at this time, the Duchy will not just let it go.
When Camelot had no choice but to fight this war, the problem of public opinion also arose.
Although Camelot had tried its best to control possible casualties and used decapitation tactics against the generals of the Principality Army to quickly resolve the battle, it still aroused resistance from the people.
At this time, the Principality had suffered a defeat on the front line and realized the gap in strength between itself and Camelot.
Knowing that they could not recover the occupied territories by force alone, the principality's top leaders began to seek other approaches.
As soon as he saw that Camelot was being resisted by the people, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately started to operate based on this.
