The giants have been a united tribe for the past few hundred years. In order to facilitate decision-making, they built a very magnificent open-air house in the city of Jaffatron. For ordinary humans, this house has one or two meters high steps and a wide lawn.
, like a large stadium.
Today, the chief of the "Burning Thorn Tribe" and the "First Giant Warrior" Kron Gurubashi will hold an enthronement ceremony here to be elected as the new "King of Giants". The inside and outside of the House of Representatives are decorated with lights and colors, full of joy.
.
The morning sun shines through the branches of the "Treasure Tree", and wisps of morning glow gently pour on the city of Jaffatron like golden threads, as if it casts a layer of light and shadow on this magnificent city of giants.
Hazy golden gauze.
The open-air House of Representatives was already bustling with people, and the giants from the "Five Tribes" had already entered the venue and had been waiting for a long time.
Today they are going to witness a historic moment for the giants.
In hundreds of years, this is the first time that a giant other than the Titans has been elected as the new giant king.
In addition to the giants, there were many ordinary humans in the parliament hall. They were lords, kings and various high-ranking nobles from the human kingdoms in the nearby sea... They were invited to watch the ceremony as witnesses to the giant king's enthronement.
...
Raymond knew that there would be a big battle today and that this House of Representatives would become a "bloody Shura field", but he did not want to miss the moment of witnessing such a wonderful reversal. Moreover, he also had to know what was going on here in order to determine where to start the breakout plan.
There were tens of thousands of ordinary humans watching the ceremony today, and there were many people hiding in cloaks among the crowd.
Raymond knew that those were the two "Endless Eight Emperors", the big bosses of the [Blood Emperor] Group and the [Elephant Emperor] Group. Of course, there were also some well-informed big pirates, the revolutionary army...
They entered quietly and sat in some inconspicuous corners.
Today, many forces have their own plans, and the final battle is to see who has the higher "Tao Xing".
Now they are all waiting for "some time" to take action!
I cover it up for fear of causing conflicts in advance.
After all, Crone is a decorated general of the Navy. This time he ascended the throne and invited many senior officers from the Navy Headquarters.
The area facing the rostrum was filled with various marines wearing white navy uniforms and cloaks of justice.
The leader was a burly man with a sinister face, who was clearly one of the three generals of the headquarters, the [Knife King] Ibn Qasim Qutubi.
...
Compared with the caution of the big guys, Raymond went in the opposite direction and was unusually high-profile.
They did not hide their faces and hide in an inconspicuous corner like those big pirates. Instead, they led a group of "Ghost Group" crew members to dress up and swagger into the VIP area where the invited high-ranking nobles were seated.
Just like a nobleman attending a palace banquet.
After a while, the battle started. The place where the two "Endless Eight Emperors" fleet bosses were located must have been under the care of the navy's high-level combat power. It was extremely dangerous.
In the entire parliament, the safest place is probably the place where these fat-headed and big-eared nobles stay.
Raymond wore a tuxedo, a top hat, a cane, and deliberately put away the long sword at his waist.
But even so, he still has an evil aura about him that makes people feel dangerous. It is an alert instinct cultivated in dangerous environments for many years, and is naturally incompatible with the pampered and true nobles around him.
The nobles would not be able to notice it, but their high-level extraordinary guards would take a few more glances and become alert.
However, Miss Anna, who was holding his arm next to him, diluted the suddenness.
Anna was originally a royal princess with a graceful and luxurious temperament. She changed out of her tight pirate leather clothes and put on a luxurious palace dress, paired with the dazzling [Frigga's Charm Gold Necklace], making her look so beautiful.
shoot.
She held Raymond's arm affectionately, winning the glances of nobles and ladies along the way...
But Thor and Sha Mao couldn't pretend to be nobles. No matter how gorgeous they dressed, they couldn't hide the burly and fierce gangsterism on their bodies.
They simply changed into guards' attire and followed Raymond.
But the monkey Jiji was not afraid of stage fright. He changed into a gorgeous aristocratic dress, wearing gold and silver...
This clever monkey also knows how to choose jewelry for himself and has a unique aesthetic.
It especially likes to wear a thick gold chain around its neck and a large, vulgar diamond ring on its finger. With a cigar in its mouth, it looks like a "social monkey"!
Colin and Nicole were on standby on the "Golden Ghost" in the water pool outside the city. According to the news they received, there were signs of a large-scale gathering of the World Headquarters' navy outside the city. Now they did not dare to take the lead, so they could only
Wait for the battle of Jaffatron to begin, and then find an opportunity to join Raymond and the others.
Oh, one more thing!
Sol's bloodline returned to his ancestors as expected, and his skin became golden after the circulation of Qi. Although the color was slightly darker than Uli's, it was still a "golden bloodline".
But I don’t know why, but the result is slightly “different”.
Thor's bloodline has advanced, he has accumulated a lot of experience, and he has successfully taken the high-compatibility Titan potion deduced by Raymond to advance to Sequence 3. As the level advanced, his understanding of the law of power also increased several times, but his
But it didn't grow as tall as expected.
Generally speaking, a Sequence 3 Titan should be about twelve meters tall.
But now Sol is only about eight meters tall. Although he is more than twice as tall as before, there is still something a little abnormal.
After some data inspection, Lulu could not find the reason why Sol's situation happened.
However, he felt that this might be a trace of "genetic variation" in the bloodline's return to the ancestors. As of now, except for the height not reaching expectations, the other increases were normal. It was hard to say whether that "genetic variation" was good or bad.
..
...
There was still a quarter of an hour left for the enthronement ceremony to begin. Raymond and the others were sitting in the VIP seats where a group of noble gentlemen gathered, chatting and spanking.
Perhaps Anna's beauty was too eye-catching, but at this moment, a giant seagull wearing a military green reporter's vest swung its butt and walked towards them. Behind him, there were two Mr. Seagulls each holding a microphone and a camera.
.
This is a strange and highly intelligent race in the world of navigation - the "Flat Hair Tribe". They run various newspaper groups in the Endless Sea.
"Hello, sir."
Mr. Seagull, who was holding the microphone, didn't seem to recognize the identities of Raymond and the others.
They subjectively believed that the people who could sit here were of course high-ranking nobles who were invited, and they did not think about pirates at all. Naturally, they would not have thought that this was the "Ghost Pirates" who have become famous recently.
"Head of the group.
Mr. Seagull handed the microphone to Raymond's mouth and said politely: "I am a reporter from Le Monde. What is your name, sir?"
"me?"
Raymond pointed to his nose, a little surprised.
After he looked at Mr. Seagull and confirmed that he was the one he was asking, he turned his eyes and did not avoid the camera lens, but smoothed his hair coquettishly.
He imitated the tone of an aristocratic gentleman and said: "Well... just call me Count Nicholas."
"Hello, Count Nicholas, it's an honor to interview you."
Mr. Seagull nodded and said: "Um...Mr. Count Nicholas, what do you think about the election of the new Giant King today? Or, do you have any blessings to say to Mr. Crone?"
On such an occasion when a "new king ascends the throne", the invited nobles should naturally bless the new king. This is the experience of mainstream media reporters and is also a routine question.
Is this a normal person?
He didn't answer but asked: "Are you doing a live broadcast?"
"..."
Mr. Seagull was stunned for a moment, shook his head and explained: "This is a random interview. We will send the content of the manuscript back to the headquarters. If the editor at the headquarters feels it is valuable, it will appear on the front page of "Le Monde" an hour later.
On the page...tomorrow, you may see this interview in the newspaper."
"Oh...it won't be published in the newspaper until tomorrow?"
Raymond blinked when he heard this.
I don't know why, but after hearing this, he couldn't hold back some of his thoughts of doing something sexy.
He asked again: "Can you use bad words during your interview?"
Seagull reporter: "..."
When Raymond saw that he didn't speak, he thought it was acquiescence, so he cleared his throat and said to the camera: "Some idiot, I have long disliked him. He is a bastard. The seller seeks glory, and sooner or later he burps..."
Haiou Reporter: "Sir, our Le Monde is a formal official media, and we cannot use swear words."
Mr. Lei: "Oh, then we recorded it again..."
Seagull reporter: "..."
Raymond changed the sentence he just said in an elegant way and said it again: "There is a proverb in my hometown: I watched him build a tall building, I watched him entertain guests, I watched him suddenly collapse the building..."
The Seagull reporter felt like he was going crazy, "Sir, is this your blessing to the newcomer 'Giant King'? Can you explain it in the common language of the great sea?"
"As I said in Common Language just now, aren't you allowed to say bad words?"
"..."
"Forget it, let's talk about something else..."
Being interviewed by a reporter for the first time in his two lives, Raymond also became interested, as if he was possessed by a chatterbox, and said: "I think... he will not succumb to the suppression of the world's powerful force, and will not succumb to the coercion of conspirators.
Not being swayed by capital's sugar-coated bullets...this is the precious quality passed down from generation to generation by the giants!"
"Uh... Mr. Earl, can you speak more plainly?"
"After today, the majesty of the giants will surely shake the endless sea again. The giants will never be slaves and fight for freedom!"
"..."
Anyway, he had nothing to do, so Raymond was talking nonsense to Mr. Seagull while listening to the several Seagull reporters in front of him who were stunned.
He never thought that his nonsense words and his instructive expression would be printed on the front page of "Le Monde" tomorrow, and then be known to the world as the giant race's rebellion against the world headquarters.
slogan.
In the future, a certain sentence also became the slogan of various reactionary headquarters organizations in the Endless Sea.
Whenever there is a war, just say,
XX, never be a slave!
...
Kron Gurubashi will be elected as the "King of Giants" today.
After the five tribes merge, he will be awarded the fictitious position of "Honorary Commander" by the World Navy as a king.
Then the entire Giant Country will become a prime recruiting ground for the World Headquarters in the future. After joining the navy, this country that has been free for countless years and is rich in powerful warriors will never want to break away from the "control" of the top management of the World Headquarters.
Not long after, the enthronement ceremony went smoothly. After a series of complicated ceremonies, Crone put on the crown symbolizing the "King of Giants" and picked up the inherited giant sacred object [Barbarian Emperor's Hammer]. Under the overwhelming presence of all the giants, Amidst the cheers, the selection of the new Giant King was finally settled.
Then the expected "Five Races Voting" session began.
"My fellow tribesmen, our giant tribe has inherited its heritage from the ancient mythological period to this day... Our giant tribe was originally one, but has been divided for a long time. I hope that we can embrace the 'new era'..."
Then the new giant king began a crackling speech.
Then this "New Giant King" deliberately avoided talking about the ancestral precepts of the giants and did not talk about surrendering to the World Government. Instead, he analyzed his description from the perspective of development, economy, and the future from the shallower to the deeper. The various benefits of that "new era"...
How can those big and powerful giants understand such a mysterious economic theory?
Everyone on the left and right only understands one concept, follow the "new king" and you will have meat to eat!
Raymond, who was sitting at the VIP table, listened to the speech and savored it, sighing secretly from time to time: "I have to say that Crone's copywriting is still pretty good."
Crone's speech was obviously carefully polished, every clause and every word was precise. Even if he, an outsider, listened to it, he could not wait to immediately twist the entire giant clan into a rope, unite and take off on the spot.
Half an hour later,
Croon on the stage finished his speech, and then he began to express his position, saying: "Even if I am elected as the 'Giant King', I promise that the traditions of our giant race will not change! All major decisions are made by us. The elders of the five tribes voted to decide...if everyone does not agree to the 'merger of the five tribes', this matter will be dropped..."
When the new king is elected, he first draws a big picture for the future, and then stabilizes people's hearts... everything is impeccable.
"Now, let's start voting!"
Next, is the so-called "democratic voting" link.
Each of the five giant tribes has two votes, one for the chief and one for the elder.
There are ten votes in total. In theory, if more than six votes are cast, the resolution will be passed.
...
This so-called "democracy" has actually been overtaken by the world government for a long time.
The "Mountain Tribe" is a staunch supporter of the will of the former Giant King Uli. They will never let the conspiracy of the World Headquarters succeed, and they will never approve this vote.
So...their chief was assassinated by the mine dispute, and most of the elite members of the clan were lost. Now even if they vote against it, the entire "Mountain Clan" has very little say in the giant clan.
This means that even if their clan disagrees, it cannot change the facts.
Things went smoothly as the conspirators in the World Headquarters expected.
The "Burning Thorn Tribe" and "Forest Tribe" took the lead in voting four votes in favor, while the "Mountain Tribe" voted two votes against.
As the chief of the "Voodoo Tribe" with the most special status, his attitude is very clear and he supports the party with more votes.
Therefore, the last two votes of the "Frost Tribe" are crucial.
If they vote for it, then Voodoo will also support it, and the final vote will be 8:2 to pass; if they oppose it, then it will be a stalemate of 4:4, and the resolution will be suspended.
According to Uli's previous arrangement, if the "Frost Tribe" votes against it two more times, the matter will be considered a waste.
But no one expected that a surprising scene occurred.
There were actually differences in the voting within the "Frost Tribe"!
...
The elders of the "Frost Tribe" are naturally Uli's supporters. They know Uli's arrangement very well and agree with it.
What they object to is not the merger of the five races, but they do not want Kron to succeed and surrender the entire giant race to the feet of certain powerful people at the top of the World Headquarters and become a tool for others.
Yesterday, they also agreed with Capone that they would definitely vote against it today.
Although this move will lead to internal divisions among the giants, it can at least preserve the last hope of the giants.
The original plan was for the war to begin as soon as the voting ended.
With the help of the [Blood Emperor] group, they will break out of the conspiracy encirclement of the World Headquarters and eventually lead the tribe to resist the split. This may be a situation that lasts for many years, just like the previous split of the five races...
But no one expected that just after the elders of the "Frost Tribe" voted against it.
Their chief, Colt, temporarily changed his mind and cast a crucial "yes" vote!
The current situation is 5:3. With the two votes of Voodoo, the final settlement is 7:3, and the merger resolution is passed. Because of this voting result, all their previous strategies and arrangements were ruined!
"Chief, what's the matter with you? Didn't you agree to object?"
"Yes, Colt, why did you support them! Could it be that you were also bribed and betrayed the people?!"
"Didn't we discuss this before? What's going on with you, Colt..."
"..."
The senior executives of the "Frost Tribe" were all shocked when they saw Colt's sudden behavior.
They never expected that the trouble would come from their own chief.
Faced with "thousands of people's accusations",
Colt's expression was very complicated. He sighed and said: "I just listened to Crone's speech, and I think he is right. Our giant clan has been at war with each other for hundreds of years, and it's time to stop. The civil war has restricted the development of our clan. It's time to embrace a new era..."
"Sorry, everyone."
After a pause, he looked apologetic, and then said: "Whether you say I betrayed me to Uli or betrayed the tribe, I'll be fine with all the bad reputation. But I believe that the tribesmen will understand me in the future. "
He sighed with a righteous look on his face and said: "From today on, I will step down from the position of tribal chief. I am even willing to risk my life to prove my loyalty to the tribe. I have not been bribed, I just don't want the tribesmen." If the internal fighting continues..."
This sentence also conveys a somewhat tragic meaning, and completes the image of a good chief who sacrifices himself for others and is upright and upright!
"you...!"
Hearing these words, those senior officials of the "Frost Tribe" who were unaware of the situation were all shocked.
The chief has said that he will "death to prove his will", so what else can they talk about about loyalty or disloyalty?
perhaps...
Have times really changed?
There is no right or wrong, just different ideas?
When Colt said these words, not only the people of the "Frost Tribe", but also all the giants in the parliament were shocked!
Especially those giants who had previously opposed the "merger of the five races" all began to reflect...
Was my persistence wrong?
Maybe a concept that allows a chief to stick to his life is really good for them?
...
On the other hand,
"Oh, this is really a clever move! It turns out that the World Headquarters hired Murphy to pretend to be Colt, because they wanted to use this strategy to drain the salary from under the cauldron?!"
At the VIP table, Raymond, an insider, was overwhelmed with emotion when he heard these sensational words.
If nothing else, Murphy's acting skills are simply amazing!
This move kills people but also kills people's hearts...it kills two birds with one stone.
Not only does it facilitate voting, it also shakes the determination of those giants who support Uli!
After today's vote, Colt will definitely "disappear" from the world, and Murphy will be able to escape by then. Now with such rhetoric, everything will fall into place.
Even the death of "Colt" can make those giants who hold opposing views completely doubt themselves.
Ah...what a great chief! He sacrificed his life for the future of the giant country, how majestic and selfless he was!
Because of this "Colt's" vote, the overall situation has now been decided, and an army has turned against him.
If Capone didn't know the inside story, he might have been deceived by this trick.
have to say...
The World Government’s move is awesome!
...
The voting is over and the merger of the five races is a foregone conclusion.
Then... the next step should be for Cron to announce a "big purge" operation against the pirates in the city!
Since everyone agrees to join the jurisdiction of the World Government, it means that they are incompatible with the pirate camp. This "voucher of nomination" can be handed over perfectly!
"It's time for Uli to come out and turn the tide..."
Raymond was wondering in his mind that things had developed to this point and it was time to take action.
