I, on the Starry Sky Railway, change everything

Page 410

"Speak, what do you consider to be your reliance? When the Black Tide ravaged Onpharos, what did the Senate do? Did they send people to fight the disaster, or allocate food and water to relieve refugees, or maintain order in the city? They made contributions, so they are arrogant."

Relying on their merits, they disregarded the Golden Descendants, feeling that they had stolen their power.

Hua Yi's words clearly implied something.

Realizing that the Senate was now questioning them and it had nothing to do with them, the citizens of Ohm took a deep breath and tried to calm themselves down, casting curious or thoughtful glances at Katniss.

The people racked their brains to recall what the Senate had done.

However, aside from their domineering attitude, there was no impression whatsoever of them contributing to Ohma or helping those in need. "363" "...!"

The atmosphere changed drastically once again.

The citizens were just influenced by Katniss's impassioned speech, wondering if the Golden Clan was using the oracle for personal gain. But after careful comparison, they discovered that the Senate was the one with the bigger problem.

It wouldn't be wrong to call it a crime.

They really don't do anything good, they just talk a big game.

No one dared to interrupt Hua Yi.

However, their gazes toward Katniss and the Senate spy who had fainted on the ground gradually turned toward disgust.

Public opinion can indeed be easily mobilized, but it can also be deliberately guided due to limited information.

However, for the Senate to do such a thing in front of Hua Yi was tantamount to courting death.

When those with ulterior motives try to manipulate public opinion, Hua Yi has already stirred up the world's trends countless times.

A poor calculation.

Passengers from trains like Xing and March 7th also came over and ate melons.

Since Hua Yi is still willing to communicate, let's just watch and wait until it's time to actually fight. Whoever he says is the bad guy, we'll beat them up.

"This scene looks familiar."

Kiana bumped into Ying next to her.

Have you noticed?

"what?"

Ying, not understanding, tilted her head in confusion.

She glanced at Katniss, a richly dressed old woman who should have been dignified, but after her various schemes failed and the echo chamber hidden in the crowd was exposed, her face gradually became ferocious.

So ugly.

How could I possibly recognize them? All I know are beautiful older sisters and cute younger sisters!

"Just as stupid as the Council of the Church on the continent of Teyvat."

Kiana gave her evaluation.

"Ahem, to be precise, it was the previous Council of Teachers, Hua Yi, who had already purged Hazard and his cronies."

Ying coughed repeatedly, adding somewhat awkwardly.

Now that you mention it, it does seem similar.

The Senate has significantly lowered the impression of Ohma and even Onpharos, a point destined to be etched in the pillar of shame.

"Answer my question!"

Hua Yi raised his voice, shocking the old woman so much that her face turned pale.

"The history of the Senate can be traced back to before the birth of the Golden Descendants. Before the Black Tide ravaged the land, we were ruling Ohma. It's easy to make a comparison... The Senate brought peace, while the Golden Descendants caused turmoil."

"Trying to change the subject, huh? The Black Tide is raging, and you've all acted like idiots, not doing a single decent thing?"

Hua Yi almost laughed out of anger.

"If the Senate could really do something worthwhile and fight the Black Tide, why would the people place their hopes on obscure divine pronouncements? The Golden Descendants would never even have a chance to appear."

Too lazy to waste words with the old woman, and knowing she wouldn't understand anyway, Hua Yi's patience had run out.

"Drag down."

Where should we take that?

Are they going to behead that high-ranking senator on the spot?!

The Ohmma guards froze, their minds blank. (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)

In the brief moment they were stunned, the lone army that had been standing quietly to the side for half a day suddenly charged forward with a roar.

Your chance to shine has arrived!

The old soldier, who had previously been deeply grateful to Hua Yi and worried about Wan Di's safety, and who seemed kind and gentle no matter how you looked at him, was now incredibly strong and fast.

boom!

He kicked Katniss hard, knocking her to the ground, and placed his hand on his sword, eager to use it.

"Sir, shall I cut off his head now?"

There was another unspoken thought in the old soldier's mind.

Lord Hua Yi, Ohema is unreliable. Why don't you come with us to Suspended Peak City and rebuild our home? Medemos is the King of Suspended Peak, and you are the king's army. We will certainly offer you the highest honors!

Suspended Peak City is also getting better.

“Imprison them, settle accounts with the Senate for its actions, determine their crimes, and punish them according to the laws of Ohm.”

"Yes!"

The veteran strictly followed orders, dragging away the idiots from the Senate and heading to Ohmma Prison.

Hua Yi turned to look at Aglaia.

How long does it take to collect evidence?

“No extra time is needed. The Golden Thread has been recording the Senate’s crimes, including the recent plea for help from the [Path] believers. It was because of the Senate’s obstruction that Ohma was unable to send troops to meet them. Only Bai Er and Tibo hurriedly left the city.”

Aglaia stood at attention.

She could no longer maintain the elegant demeanor of the Golden Clan leader and the uncrowned queen of Ohma; her helplessness was palpable.

"I am very sorry! You quelled the madness of [Conflict] and returned from Suspended Peak City. You should have been enjoying fine wine and praise..."

"That doesn't matter, Aglaia. You think you can be held back by this kind of trash?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Hua Yigang, having just confronted the Senate head-on, or rather, unilaterally crushed it, began to scrutinize Lady Jin Zhi.

They started lecturing people one by one.

Fearing he would be disappointed in her and the Golden Clan, Aglaia couldn't care less about hiding the secret, even in public.

“Countless Katniss have appeared over the millennia, always standing against the Golden Clan. I have used swift and decisive methods to kill those Katniss who openly rebelled and carried out terrorist attacks, but new Katniss will always appear afterward. It seems to be a kind of legacy.”

"Go on, I want to hear your considerations."

"Kines, in her current high position in the Senate, is secretly plotting various schemes and has not yet brazenly murdered 4.5 million people."

Aglaia's slender fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes.

"I was thinking that perhaps in order to compete for power with the Golden Clan, she would do some good deeds for the people. At the very least, it could prevent an even more insane Katniss from emerging..."

Such a secret left the onlookers stunned.

Over the course of a thousand years, many Katniss have emerged, and according to Lady Aglaia, some even intend to massacre civilians.

This guy is a complete terrorist!

Wait, that's not the point—could I have overheard some huge secret that I shouldn't know?

A pair of anxious eyes looked at Hua Yi, awaiting his verdict.

As a result, the savior, who had been keeping a straight face, suddenly curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"You're so gentle, preferring to be targeted and schemed against yourself rather than let Katniss turn her anger towards the citizens."

Chapter 716 What They Really Care About

We understand, we completely understand!

Not only the women on the Starry Sky Train, but also the onlookers, came to the correct conclusion—

The Senate is the bad guys, Aglaia is the good guy.

In just over ten minutes, public opinion shifted several times.

Unlike Katniss's feigned indignation and distortion of the truth when she jumped out, Hua Yi did not specifically emphasize the contributions of the Golden Clan throughout the entire process. He merely stated the facts, asked what the Senate had done, and only mentioned Aglaia's considerations at the very end.

This, on the contrary, has prompted genuine reflection among the public.

I've figured out who the bad guys and who the good guys are.

The conclusions drawn by their own thinking were far more convincing than the information unilaterally emphasized by Katniss. The citizens were moved, and their gazes toward Aglaia gradually filled with respect.

He felt guilty for having been misled by the Senate and questioning the Golden Clan.

The change wasn't obvious, but Aglaia, being a [Romantic] demigod and wielding the golden thread, possessed incredibly sharp senses and immediately noticed the difference.

"..."

Is Hua Yi helping him?

He has only been in Onfaros for two days, but he has already accomplished a great deal.

Aglaia gazed at Hua Yi, overwhelmed with mixed emotions.

"Half an hour later, a citizens' assembly will be held in the Demigod Council of Dawn Cloud Cliff to formulate the future policy for Ohma. In the face of the apocalypse, if even people's hearts are not united, and they don't even understand who is protecting them, doesn't that seem absurd?"

Hua Yi set the time and place for the general assembly and looked around the room.

No one dared to meet his gaze, and no one had any objections to it.

If when the soldiers of the Conflict attacked the city, Hua Yi used amber flames to create a barrier to protect the refugees and the entire city of Ohma, people saw his power and benevolence. Now that the Senate has jumped out, it has become the target of his thunderous methods.

But wouldn't an ideal king in the apocalypse be one who combines kindness and severity, power and wisdom?

People need strong-willed leaders.

Someone needs to raise the flame of civilization high amidst the black tide, illuminating Ohma and even the entire Onfaros!

The citizens dispersed, carrying with them respect, guilt, and a strange sense of anticipation.

"Sorry……"

Aglaia apologized to Hua Yi again, her eyes filled with remorse and a hint of tenderness.

She was by no means stupid; of course she knew how much Hua Yi had helped her. Not only did he prevent the Senate from slandering the Golden Descendants, but he also used this opportunity to further enhance his prestige.

“Let’s compile a list of the Senate’s crimes. As I said before, we should deal with Kaines and her cronies according to the laws of Ohma. Let’s use the opening of the Citizens’ Assembly to try the Senate.”

"Good, good."

Aglaia understood that Hua Yi was not angry with her.

But she really didn't want any more oversights or mishaps, so she immediately put aside everything else and began to organize the intelligence data.

When it was Xia Die, Ti Bao and the others' turn to step forward, the most lively Tian grabbed Hua Yi's sleeve and shook it twice.

"Are you angry? Katniss is clearly targeting the Golden Clan, so please don't be too angry. Getting angry will only make you sick."

"The Senate has no right to make me resentful."

Hua Yi smiled and gave Tian a gentle head pat.

Regardless of how long this petite girl has lived, judging by appearances is fine. She's tiny, so Hua Yi treats her like a little girl.

“What I’m concerned about is that the citizens of Ohm are being protected too well. Yes, under the Black Tide, even though they feel panicked and confused, they still lack the determination to firmly support the Golden Generation and the heroes who stand up to protect the people. I will take responsibility for correcting this mistake.”

"Captain, have some water!"

Kiana brought over a drink and personally fed it to Hua Yi.

Ying simply ran behind Hua Yi and massaged his shoulders.

“I learned a lot about Ohma from Aglaia. It seems that the Citizens’ Assembly is controlled by the Senate. Kaines can greatly influence the decisions. The meeting administrator is called Lukurgos, who is also an honorary senator of the Senate.”

"Lykuergos was an Antikythera who communicated directly with the Titans of the Necropolis on several occasions during the Golden Age and conveyed the mortal voices of humans to Cephale, and was regarded as a divine audience."

Xia Die added from the side.

The name and the ethnicity seemed so complicated that Kiana was completely confused.
