The Doctor In the Steampunk World

Chapter 1597: Public opinion and war

The confrontation at Knowles Palace soon spread in Northern Quebec, and Lakewick City was even more anxious when they knew that the Prince of Quebec and a Grand Knight Commander were detained, and sent new high-level officials to negotiate.

Eric Harald also asked the three major families to send people over, after all, this is the business of the three major families.

The three major families have only one request, and that is to have Prince Quek, who forced the death of the three major family patriarchs to his death, be buried with him.

Eric Harald naturally rejected the request of the three major families. After all, once Prince Quek was killed, it would be a big deal.

But the three major families only have this requirement, and no matter what Eric Harald says, it will not change. Not even sending someone to Keflavi.

In the end, Eric Harald had to put aside the three families to negotiate, and rumors began to appear in the Viking Kingdom.

Mainly about negotiations, these rumors were naturally spread privately by Simon. The purpose is to use the pressure of public opinion to force Eric Harald to kill Prince Quek and prevent the negotiation.

These rumors spread quickly, even beyond Simon's expectations.

Soon Simon also discovered an interesting situation. The reason why the rumors spread so fast is that there are other forces secretly promoting the rumors like him.

Some forces in Northern Quebec also hope that the Quebec and the Vikings will go to war and secretly do the same thing with Simon. Simon is very happy to see this situation.

Eric Harald was also aware of popular opinion, and he sent people to explain it, but to no avail.

He even sent people to suppress it, but not only did it not work, but it made public opinion more and more violent.

The repression has become more severe, and although public opinion has been temporarily suppressed, this method is undoubtedly wrong. Especially driven by people with a heart, folk sentiments continued to accumulate in silence, and dissatisfaction with Eric Harald's rule became more and more dissatisfied.

Negotiations were finally reached, and the Queks handed over the "murderer" and paid a huge price in exchange for the Prince of Quek.

However, Simon spread rumors that were even more unfavorable to Eric Harald among the people, saying that the murderers handed over by the Queks were just some scapegoats, and the price paid by the Queks was also paid by Eric Harald. Swallowed.

The three major families who were the victims did not receive the compensation they deserved.

Folk sentiment began to erupt, and rumors spread.

Saying that the patriarchs and elders of the three major families did not awaken the blood of Eric Harald with their lives and souls, saying that Eric Harald was not worthy of becoming the king of the Vikings.

Eric Harald was having a headache at this time and was trying to eliminate these unfavorable remarks.

And a few days later, something big happened.

Jotun Dio and the Dark Warriors intercepted the returning Prince Quek.

And he returned to Dior City with the head of Prince Quek, and used the head of Prince Quek to pay homage to the patriarchs and elders of the three dead families.

This incident instantly detonated Northern Quebec.

The Quakers were directly furious and demanded that Eric Harald hand over the murderer, otherwise they would send troops to wipe out the three major families.

Knowles Palace, Eric Harald furious.

"Damn Jotun Dio, does he know what he's done? He killed Levin just after the negotiation was over, which is slapping me in the face. Zera Han, now immediately put Jotun Dio Take it back." Eric Harald's roar echoed in the hall.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible." A Viking executive said quickly.

"Why not," Eric Harald growled.

Valley Gun

"It's true that Jotun Dior did something wrong, but the people support his actions. Once we arrest him, or hand him over to the Quakers. That will confirm the rumors that we are afraid of. Quakers."

"Damn, damn, this must be the work of those foreign forces." Eric Harald kicked the throne to pieces with an angry kick, showing how much his anger was.

Eric Harald took a few deep breaths, calmed down his excitement, and looked at the top executives: "Tell me, what should I do now."

"It's a fact that Levin Castek forced to death the patriarchs and elders of the three major families. Jotun Dior avenged them. It's right and reasonable, and it fits the character of our Vikings. If you arrest them at this time, it is very It is possible to intensify popular sentiment, which is very detrimental to His Majesty.

And if you don't catch it, there is no way to explain it to the Queks, and the Queks will inevitably get angry, which is likely to lead to a war. "

"I'm not asking you to analyze, I want a solution." Eric Harald scolded.

"I don't think Jotun Dior can be caught, and even if he is caught, it can't be handed over to the Quakers. You must take care of it."

"Why should I carry it." Eric Harald looked ugly.

"You are the king of the Vikings, and only you can carry it. Only when you carry it can the emotions of the people dissipate and the stability of the Viking Kingdom be guaranteed."

"What about the Quakers?"

"Compensation will be resolved. If the compensation cannot be resolved, they will fight if they want to."

"Doesn't this fit the conspiracy of the people behind the scenes?" Eric Harald snorted coldly.

"But if the three major families are arrested this time and the Queks are given apology, then there will be a real problem within the Viking Kingdom. Those with ulterior motives will definitely want to take this opportunity to subvert the Viking Kingdom."

"Do they have the ability?" Eric Harald asked proudly.

"Your Majesty, don't forget that the Queks have always been eyeing us. If we have internal problems, they will definitely add fuel to the fire. Internal worries and external troubles, we may not be able to control the situation in the end."

Eric Harald's face sank.

"If the internal conflicts are resolved, we Vikings will be united, and no one will try to overthrow us, not even the Queks."

Eric Harald was lost in thought.

He was hesitating for the next few days, but soon something happened. The Quakers took action, attacked a small town of Vikings, occupied the small town, and slaughtered many Vikings.

This matter was not ordered by the Kingdom of Quek, but controlled by Simon behind his back, in the name of revenge for Prince Quek.

This is a fuse that makes the already tense relationship between the two parties even more tense.

Completely cut off the way for both parties to negotiate a settlement.

The folk sentiment in the Viking Kingdom has completely risen~lightnovelpub.net~ The previous blood feuds have also been revealed one by one, and parades have been launched in major cities, even in Keflavi City.

Under such a strong public opinion, Eric Harald was finally forced to choose to be tough with the Queks.

The two sides began to prepare for war, and the war was about to break out.

Jotun Dior knew that his opportunity was coming, and immediately led the Dark Demon Warriors into action. He directly captured Oss City, killed many Queks, and recruited warriors in the Viking City to expand the force.

His army quickly grew to five thousand men, and then continued to send troops to attack the cities of the Quebecers, further exacerbating the situation.

Simon and other forces with ulterior motives fueled the flames behind the scenes, making the relationship between the Quakers and the Vikings even worse. It also allowed the armies of the two kingdoms to face each other quickly, and finally a month later, the two countries officially started war.
