Chapter 785 - National Idol (II)
Chapter 785: National Idol (II)
Long Haochen’s words shocked many people and they realized the strength of the federal president for the first time. No one interrupted until he had finished his last sentence.
Everyone was thinking deeply about what he had said, and even the most stubborn person there, the Lord of the Priest Temple, Ling Xiao, changed his expression.
Long Haochen flashed back to his seat and sat down. “What I just said is my personal opinion. Now we can put our heads together. We’ll vote later. The meeting is still presided over by Yang Dianzhu.”
After nodding to Long Haochen, Yang Haohan said, “I am deeply shocked by the chairman’s story. There is such a situation behind the chairman’s powerful strength that we didn’t know about. The chairman and every member of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group are heroes of the Union. We should salute the heroes.” As he spoke, he stood up and gave a standard chivalry gesture to Long Haochen and all the members of Light Dawn Demon Hunter group.
Other congressmen also got up one after another and did the same as Yang Haohan.
Long Haochen hurriedly stood up with his friends to return the salute. “On the day we became hunters, we decided to throw our lives and shed blood for the Union. I never thought I could end well in the end. Just like the elder Chen Zitang, he must have thought of the outcome of the war a long time ago. I believe that although the two hunting groups have perished, they have absolutely no regrets. They are the real heroes. I propose to observe a minute of silence for the Devil Gods Hunter group and Proud Ninth Heaven Hunter group.”
The whole audience was silent. Grief rose unconsciously in everyone’s heart. However, in this grief, passionate blood was boiling. Many people realized that after listening to Long Haochen’s story, their inner depression had been replaced by a strong sense of war. The fear of fighting the war with the devil’s army almost all disappeared.
The moment of silence ended. Yang Haohan continued with the previous topic.
“Chairman, there is something I must explain to you. The character of those who are Eternal Heroes will be affected to some extent because they became the undead. I don’t agree with you to go in person, in case of any danger.”
Long Haochen waved his hand and said, “There will be no danger. I will go with Caier. Caier’s domain of purification is the nemesis of all undead creatures. Therefore, I can assure you that even if our Eternal Heroes do deteriorate and intend to do something harmful to the Union, we, the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group, will solve this problem ourselves.”
His words were by no means an exaggeration. No matter how powerful the Eternal Heroes were, they could not be compared with all the armies of undead creatures in Hao Yue’s plane. Caier’s power caused shock and awe to all the undead creatures there, not to mention the 63 Eternal Heroes. If they were to riot, Caier could take care of them with her purifying lotus.
Yang Haohan said, “In that case, we will discuss this matter later. With regard to the chairman’s proposal to correct the name of the Eternal Heroes, we should also consider it in the long term. If it is really to be implemented, then there must be adequate publicity preparations.”
Long Haochen nodded his head and said, “I agree.”
Li Zhengzhi said, “I don’t think so. The chairman’s proposal is very meaningful, and the chairman’s own story is even more persuasive. Even the scourge of the undead, Electrolux, which once caused disaster to our mankind, has its merits as a necromancer, not to mention our Eternal Heroes. If we can record the deeds of the chairman and publicize them widely, it will be much more acceptable to throw out the story of Eternal Heroes after this publicity.”
Long Haochen was stupefied, while Qiu Yonghao, the former master of the Warrior Temple, immediately agreed. “Lord Li, this is a good idea. The Union has just been established, and if we can portray the chairman and his wife as national idols, it will certainly be of great benefit to us against the devils. It can also enhance the charisma of the chairman. The image of the chairman and vice chairman Caier also have great potential to become idols. Let’s do it.”
After listening to Qiu Yonghao’s analysis, all the Lords presented looked with bright eyes.
Chen Ying’er immediately said, “I agree. The story of the chairman and vice chairman Caier is a legend. It should be publicized. What’s more, this is a better chance for us in fighting the devils.”
Long Haochen did not expect to put out the glory for his name but only to correct the name of the Eternal Heroes. He wanted to oppose but he had been drowned out by all the voices of approval.
The meeting was finally voted unanimously, and Long Haochen personally invited the Eternal Heroes to come out and rectify their names at the same time. The premise of all this was to publicize the couple Long Haochen and Caier.
Li Zhengzhi, the master of the Magic Temple, took over the task. The special wizard of the Magic Temple was responsible for directly making a magic short film for publicity. Long Haochen and Caier also had to play together in that short film.
This was only the first meeting. More important issues were put on the table at the next day’s meeting.
Where would the devils attack? Was it like the full-scale attack of the previous holy war, or a small attack? If it was just a small attack, then where would it be at?
This issue was of vital importance to Temple Federation. Even if it was a head-on encounter, the possibility of victory of the Temple Federation was still small. If they were caught unprepared by the Devil clan and the devils invaded into the Temple Federation, then it was inevitable that lives would be destroyed. With the destructive power of the devil army, the Union was in great danger.
On this issue, Long Haochen believed that the devils were most likely to directly attack Yu Longguan, where the Knight Temple located at, because the main target of the God of Devils was him. However, he was not absolutely sure either. If the God of Devils were to attack another fortress and concentrate the federal forces at Yu Longguan, it would be tantamount to put the federal people in front of the devil army.
Federal executives discussed it for two days, but it was still not decided.
However, a series of federal orders were passed on to the other five temples, including the magic short films made for Long Haochen and Caier.
With the existence of the Tower of Eternity, coupled with the control of the tower’s owner and the cooperation of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group and the Twelve Sacred Saints, they almost completely recreated the original scene, although the shooting time was too short and a little rough. However, all the shocking and important situations were still completely portrayed, especially because more than a dozen of wizards from the Magic Temple carried out the most elaborate post-production in the shortest time possible to better shape this expensive magic image. Long Haochen and Caier did not expect that soon their story had moved the whole Union and they really became national idols just like Qiu Yonghao said.
Holy City.
At dusk, the sky gradually darkened.
After the end of the ten-year Dabi Temple, the Holy City gradually quieted down. As the capital and rear area of the Temple Federation, the prosperity here had not changed.
It was dark, which also meant that people who had been busy all day had finished their work and could have a rest. And the nightlife of the Holy City had always been very rich. But today there was a strange scene in the Holy City. Just like at the Dabi Temple not long ago, a large number of people poured toward the direction of the Holy League Trial ground.
“Hey, Brother Zhang, what are you doing in such a hurry at night?”
“Brother, didn’t you see the notice posted by the federal headquarters? starting tonight, magical film will be shown for ten consecutive days at the Holy League Trial ground, which is said to have been performed by the federal president and vice president themselves.”
“Magic film? what is that?”
“It is the images and sounds recorded and preserved by magic! The federation is so serious, it should be interesting. Come on, let’s go and have a look at the hustle and bustle.”
Similar conversations continued to spread in the streets of the Holy City, coupled with the power of the notice, and before it was completely dark, the city was surrounded by people.
Ten giant magic screens that had been removed from the Dabi Temple had already been installed here. At this time the magic screens were emitting a dazzling brilliance. The screens would soon play magic images.
What will the magic image be? The president and vice president of the federation act in person? Are they learning from each other? But why would the federation use magic to record it and show it to us? Almost every citizen had the same questions on their mind. However, there were no news about it.
Curiosity drove them to watch this magic film and they were waiting quietly under the magic screen.
The sky was completely dark, and the dazzling brilliance on the magic screens became even more obvious, even from the distant roof.
A mighty voice sounded. “The magic film will be played immediately. However, before broadcasting, we need to give you a simple explanation. The magic video is recorded by the chairman, vice chairman, and members of the Light Dawn Demon Hunter group. Post-production by the Magic Temple. The whole process completely recreates the story that happened after the struggle between Chairman Long Haochen and Vice Chairman Caier with the Devil clan. Therefore, before we begin their story, we need to briefly introduce the background of the story…”
“…For the background of the story, Chairman Long Haochen was killed by the God of Devils, and the vice chairman Caier and other members of Light Dawn Demon Hunter fled the capital with his body. That’s where our story begins. I believe everyone feels very strange right now. Chairman Long Haochen’s heart has been broken and he died in the Star Devil Tower. So how come he later became our chairman? So, please take a look at the following film. You will get the answer from it. After the establishment of the Union, it will become more democratic, and each and every one of you is the master of the Union, so you have the power to know about the experience of the first president of our new Union. This is also the reason for the production of this film. In the name of the federal government, all the processes reproduced in the video are real events that have happened in real life.”
