At the same time, other parts of the Maca Empire were also undercurrents.

Johnny is a young carpenter in Lieyang City. Although his identity is a commoner, he has a house in Lieyang City that was uploaded by his ancestors. He can earn fifteen silver coins every month through his own carpentry skills. China can be regarded as a well-off level.

　　 This morning, Johnny opened the door of his shop early, ready to go to the pub across the street to have breakfast, drink a glass of malt, and then return to his carpenter's shop to usher in a new day.

　　 Before eating, he did not forget to spend five copper coins to buy a copy of Lieyang Daily at the newsstand on the street.

　　Papermaking has been invented for a hundred years. An ordinary newspaper issued in the main city only needs five copper coins, while a newspaper issued in a small town is cheaper, with two copper coins. Five copper coins were money for a meal for Johnny, a commoner. Although he was reluctant to buy it every day, he bought one occasionally to learn about current affairs in the empire.

Just like the newspapers of the past two days, due to the propaganda of the Tinder organization, the first session of the House of Representatives has been held and full members have been elected. Therefore, sales have increased greatly. Almost every household in towns and cities bought newspapers and paid attention to these. The elites who have the same status as them, but can discuss government affairs with the nobles.

　　Johnny is naturally one of them.

　　 Yesterday's newspaper did not disappoint him. The magnificent House of Representatives and the magnificent interior decorations made him feast for his eyes. He wanted to sit in the audience and run for the election.

　　 As mentioned above, Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia will also come to the venue to personally witness this election.

　　 You need to know that Princess Sophia is the goddess in his dreams. If he can get close, he feels that he will have no regrets in this life.

In the past, he could only see the new laws and regulations issued by the empire, lace anecdotes from nobles, and advertisements published by some merchants in the newspapers. Now he has an inexplicable sense of participation in the empire, as long as he works hard enough to become It is good enough, even if it is a commoner, without the cultivation talent of a professional, he can still be on an equal footing with those nobles.

　　 He decided that he must work hard, save money, and then find a smart lady as his wife, train his child to become a councillor, and become a household name.

　　 I heard that if a member of Parliament can be re-elected after his term expires, he will be awarded honorary titles. Although he cannot be hereditary and has no territory, it is always a way to transition from common people to nobles.

　　 And the monthly allowance of the councillors is enough to be ten gold coins, which is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for civilians.

　　Johnny came to the tavern, but found that the tavern, which was very quiet in the morning, was very noisy.

In 　　, there are many customers who come to eat, which makes the business of the pub very hot. This happens only in the evening on weekdays.

　　People who have worked hard all day gather in the tavern at night, drank cheap malt liquor, boasted and boasted. In the early morning, many people skip breakfast and go to work after drinking a glass of wine. How can it be like today?

　　 Moreover, Johnny also found a problem. Most of them had a newspaper on the table, exactly the same as the one he bought.

　　 "It's over, this time is over, you say, the empire will not really abandon Lieyang City, you know, Lieyang City is in the north of the imperial city, and it is relatively close to the orcs. If you want to cede, Lieyang City must be indispensable.

　　 "What nonsense, should I say, at most cede the already occupied Chuyang City, Lieyang City? It is impossible, otherwise the Imperial City will directly face the Orc Alliance, without any buffer!"

　　 "How impossible? Remember the empire split a hundred years ago? The six major cities are gone. This time the Orc Alliance also asked for the cede of the six major cities, so the empire might agree."

　　 "The six major cities mentioned above include the imperial city. How is this possible? If the imperial city is all ceded out, what will the imperial family do? Are they moving to other major cities?"

　　 "Shut up! You dare to say such things, don't let it die!"

　　 "There is nothing I dare to, the newspapers say so, presumably the royal family has decided, just to remind us first, so that we have a psychological preparation."

　　 "This is not the point. The point is that the orcs have proposed 200 million humans as their slaves. How can the two billion people be released? Is the head divided by the main city?"

　　 "This shouldn't have anything to do with us. There are so many free people, and there are no civilians."

　　……

Hearing what they were talking about, Johnny looked dumbfounded. What cedes and slaves. He knew that the orcs had recently attacked the Maca Empire and had captured a major city and dozens of towns, but it had nothing to do with him. what.

　　He is a native of Lieyang City, close to the imperial city, it can be said to be very safe, and even if the orcs have a little advantage, I believe that the empire with a thousand years of age will send guardians to repel them.

As for the people in the occupied areas, it can only be said to be unlucky. He also saw a begging beggar at the door of his carpenter's shop that day. It is said that he escaped from Chuyang City. The kind Johnny gave him some copper.

　　 And what's the situation today? How does it sound the same as destroying the country.

Johnny found a vacant table and sat down~lightnovelpub.net~ Just thinking about asking the boss for a glass of cold ale, he saw the newspaper spread on the table with a bold and bold headline: "The Maca Empire fell and the six main cities were ceded, and 200 million people were about to become slaves to the orcs!"

what's the situation? !

　　 Johnny recognized that the newspaper on the table was the "Lining Sun Daily" he had bought, and quickly spread out the newspaper in his hand, and found that the headline on the front page was exactly the same as the headline on the table.

　　 He didn't care to order a meal, so he watched it carefully.

　　 Thanks to Johnny’s attending the general education school in Lieyang City when he was a child, he knew the lingua franca, so he quickly finished reading this terrifying article.

　　 After reading it, Johnny’s heart fell to the bottom and his mind was a little dizzy. He rubbed his eyes and shouted at the bar: "Old Jon, bring me a large glass of malt. I want it to be chilled!"

　　 He is overwhelmed by a glass of iced ale now.

"Hey, man, have you seen today's newspaper." Across the table sat a mature man wearing simple leather armor and a beard-looking face. He poured a sip of ale and slammed the empty glass heavily. Buckled on the table, talking to Johnny with a mouthful of alcohol.

　　 This person Johnny has some impressions. Although he hasn't said a few words, he knows that the opponent is a black iron rank professional. He usually hunts outside the city and sells some beast meat to the butcher shop in the city.

　　 "If you have a family property, you can sell it quickly, and run to the southern town, or else Lieyang City will be cut off and there will be no time to run." After the man finished, he got up and left.
