Chapter 575: The Arrival of the City Lord
Just looking at this scene, if you don’t know if you see it, you will think that the anti-war forces in Linhu City are larger than those in the main war.%
"Don't fight, peace!"
As he listened, even Lin Xiaoer next to Luo Hou couldn't help but raise his arms and shout loudly.
Luo Hou couldn't help but groaned in his heart. Since ancient times, the opposition voices initiated by such weak people in the form of gatherings or parades have been useless.
If you shout a slogan of opposition, it will be useful. What do you need violent institutions such as the army to do?
Therefore, Luo Hou was basically not optimistic about the anti-war rally initiated by Guo Haoran and Deputy City.
What's more, compared to the city lord Wu Shenggong who supports the war, Guo Haoran has the word "subject" in front of him, and the strength behind him is far inferior to Wu Shenggong. If he wants to convince those people to give up the idea of going to war, it is almost a dream.
However, this was probably Guo Haoran's helpless move, because the strength of the two sides was too far apart, and a large proportion of people supporting the war in Linhu City accounted for, so he really could not forcefully prevent the war from happening through violent means.
After Guo Haoran's speech, several evolutionists who occupied a certain position in Linhu City came to the stage to deliver speeches. Although the contents were different, the general meaning was no different. They just did not support the war. I hope everyone can calm down and not be deceived by some apparent things.
It seems that there are smart people in Linhu City. Obviously, many people know that behind the assassination incidents, it is not that simple.
However, because the forces supporting the warring side have an absolute advantage, nothing is useless. Unless someone can have clear evidence that someone is making trouble behind this, it may also pull back those fanatical evolvers, so that the clouds of war will completely dissipate.
Originally, Luo Hou wanted to tell Lin Xiaoerming that he didn't need to enter so seriously. Anyway, it was almost impossible to stop the war by relying on everyone gathering together and shouting a few times.
Perhaps, even Guo Haoran, Deputy City Lord Guo, had no idea whether he could stop the outbreak of the war. The reason why Deputy City Lord Guo was still persistent in gathering a group of people here to resolutely launch the war was probably not simply opposing it for the sake of opposition.
Because no matter whether the war breaks out as scheduled in the end, Guo Haoran can earn a lot of reputation through this matter, which will help consolidate his position in the city.
Of course, this is just a unilateral guess by Luo Hou. As for the truth, no one except the parties involved can understand.
So, when he saw Lin Xiaoer shouting anti-war slogans with everyone with a serious look on his face, Luo Hou was about to say the persuasion and swallowed it back into his stomach, but he didn't say it out.
The atmosphere at the scene became more and more lively, as if through such a gathering, everyone had successfully prevented the war from breaking out.
However, the next moment, a riot suddenly appeared on the northern edge of the square. It attracted the crowd's attraction to the full extent. Then Luo Hou and Lin Xiaoer, who were in the center, heard the sounds from the crowd outside.
"Ah. It's Lord Wu who is here!"
"Look, everyone, Lord Wu is here to our rally. Has he changed his mind and finally seen the facts clearly and no longer supported the war?"
"Everyone let me give in, Wucheng will mainly go to the center of the square!"
When they heard that the city lord Wu Shenggong of Linhu City arrived in person, many people wanted to crowd over there and see what the city lord of Linhu City, who is the most powerful in Linhu City, looked like.
Of course, more people are actually guessing in their hearts what it means to come here.
You should know that since the series of assassinations, Lord Wu was the most determined person among the officials to launch a war against the survivors in the north and west.
So, when Guo Haoran and Deputy City of Guo launched an anti-war rally here, what did Wu Shenggong and Wu come here in person?
The answer is about to come out, it is just to smash the situation. I hope that the entire Linhu City can be unified before the war begins. Otherwise, before the attack on the two survivor cities has begun, the fire suddenly broke out in the backyard of his home, which would be too funny.
"Ah, why did Lord Wu come too?"
Looking at the riots in the crowd and listening to the crowds there roaring, Lin Xiaoer couldn't help but look at the side of his face. It seemed that today's gathering would not have any good effect. When Wu Shenggong came in person, he would definitely try every means to convince everyone to let go of their anti-war idea and to the outside world.
Among the big cities with a population of nearly 10 million, there were obviously not many people who had seen Lord Wu. Therefore, when they heard the news that Lord Wu Shenggong had arrived, everyone stretched their necks and looked northward, hoping to see the true face of Lord Wu's Mount Lu from the crowd.
Luo Hou and Lin Xiaoer were no exception, and they also looked towards the north among the crowd.
Unfortunately, the crowd was too crowded. Looking around, you could only see densely packed heads, and where could you see Wu Shenggong's figure?
Fortunately, since Wu Shenggong has arrived here in person, he will definitely go to the high platform in the center of the square later, and everyone will be able to clearly see the city lord.
Lin Xiaoer's face was already filled with disappointment, and he shook his head secretly, and he no longer had any hope for anti-war. In any case, if the city lord Wu Shenggong came in person, he would definitely convince most of them to agree with his proposal for war.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoer had no trace of the next look at what the Lord Wu Shenggong looked like. He hung his head, turned around, and prepared to squeeze through the crowded crowd and leave Linhu Plaza.
"Oh, what are you doing? Why are you doing in such a hurry?"
Seeing Lin Xiaoer's expression was fading and ready to leave, Luo Hou quickly grabbed him.
"Go back, why are you here to stay here?" Lin Xiaoer's expression was decadent. He had already expected that when the war began, his life would fall into chaos again, and he might embark on a journey of displaced again.
Luo Hou grabbed Lin Xiaoer with a hand and said with an expression on his face:
"Wait, I've come anyway. Let's see what this legendary city lord looks like?"
Luo Hou meant that he had already arrived here anyway, so he was not in a hurry to leave. It would be nice to see what kind of person Wu Shenggong looked like.
Luo Hou was a little confused. As the lord of a large survivor city, Wu Shenggong should consider the most survivors. In the face of such a major event, even if he tends to start a war, he should be more cautious. He should not be the first to stand up to express his support for starting a war, right?
Anyway, as the lord of such a huge survivor city, Wu Shenggong should not want to see any unnecessary losses in his territory.
In this end of the world, the resources of monsters and zombies around the settlements can make the number of evolutionists inexhaustible. Why do you want to start a war against other survivor cities?
Even if you win, you will definitely suffer a lot of losses in the end. I am afraid that what you gain may not be able to make up for the losses, right?
After being held back by Luo Hou, Lin Xiaoer no longer said he wanted to leave, but he was no longer interested in the city lord Wu Shenggong and others who were getting closer and closer in front of him, and he was too lazy to look up at him.
Luo Hou did not look up. Anyway, Wu Shenggong, Lord Wu, will definitely come on stage to say something in a while, and then you will naturally be able to see clearly what this person looks like.
The most important thing is that the two sides are so far away now that Luo Hou can’t even see it even if he wants to.
When the city lord arrived, although the people in the square were dissatisfied with his proposal to start a war, they still respectfully made a way out and asked Wu Shenggong and his gang of subordinates to walk to the high platform in the center of Linhu Plaza.
When Wu Shenggong and his entourage finally arrived on the central platform, Luo Hou finally saw what this person in charge of a huge survivor city with a population of nearly 10 million is like.
Wu Shenggong, who walked to the high platform, was not tall, wearing a decent black armor, had a little thin figure, and his facial features were quite good, but his eyes were slightly smaller.
These are not the key points. The key point is that Wu Shenggong, the Lord Wu, seems to be not very old, at most twenty-six or seven years old, but at this time he is already an evolutionist in the late stage of the Heavenly Level. In addition, he has been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally has a powerful aura of a respectable superior.
Luo Hou's eyes were very good. Although it was almost a hundred meters away, it could still be clearly seen that the expression on the face of the deputy city lord Guo Haoran was not very good after Wu Shenggong arrived.
Thinking about it, no one has worked hard to hold a rally and want the lead singer to sing a opposite tune, but the other party suddenly came without any scruples halfway through, which would definitely make people look very unfair.
Therefore, regarding Wu Shenggong's arrival, Guo Haoran just nodded to the other party with an expressionless face. Even if he had greeted him, he did not care about those superficial articles at all.
Wu Shenggong was very well-educated. He treated Guo Haoran's rude behavior as invisible. He nodded to Guo Haoran very friendly, which made Guo Haoran feel powerful and had nowhere to do it.
Wu Shenggong didn't care about Guo Haoran's rudeness, but the subordinates behind Wu Shenggong disagreed.
"Deputy City Lord Guo, why don't you treat me when I see the City Lord coming?"
