I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 517 - The Turbulent World

Chapter 517: The Turbulent World

After Ling Ping’an sent Yin Mingxiu off, he looked at the time.

It was past five o’clock in the afternoon.

He thought for a moment before turning on the television.

At the same time, he leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes to take a nap.

The news was being broadcast on the television.

“Ever since the King of the Kingdom of Fran, Louis XII, announced his conversion to the Huguenot faction this afternoon, there have been acts of vandalism and looting by radicals in Fran… Regarding this, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Fran has indicated that they will announce a state of emergency for the entire country…”

Ling Ping’an pursed his lips and did not take it to heart.

This was because, in his eyes, the Kingdom of Fran today would not be able to make any big news.

After all…

Their king was neither a foreigner nor a dwarf, nor did he have a female minister of Defense.

Therefore, such a Fran was harmless.

Unfortunately, not many people agreed with his view.

“In response to the situation in Fran, the spokesperson of the Habsburg royal family said at the press conference this afternoon that Habsburg will closely monitor the situation in Fran. It also reserves the right to take suitable measures.”

“It is reported that the Cabinet of Habsburg will urgently discuss the situation in Fran this evening. It is very likely that the option of canceling or removing Faran’s status as the Elector Marquis will be discussed

“In response to this, the Fran Ministry of Foreign Affairs made the most serious protest statement! The statement stated that Habsburg has no right to interfere in Faran’s internal affairs, much less determining Faran’s ident.i.ty as the Elector Marquis!”

“It is reported that… the special envoy of the King of Habsburg has already arrived in Warsaw and will discuss relevant issues with Poland!”

Upon hearing this, Ling Ping’an could not help but sit up.

“What? Is that true?”

Although he didn’t pay much attention to foreign countries, he didn’t know much about the land of Qin.

But I still remember when I was in school, the teacher of history, in the teaching of land of Qin summed up the description of a metaphor.

If Land of Qin is a big family, then the Grand Elder is Hapsburg.

And Fran was in charge of the separation.

Although this was already in the past, Land of Qin had undergone profound changes in the past one to two hundred years.

In fact, hegemony had changed hands many times.

However, Fran and Hapsburg had never left the center of the stage.

Currently, the Great Elder and the branch family elders were at loggerheads.

They had even dragged Poland along. Those who could be dragged along by the great elder were definitely powerful countries.

Then, at this time of internal strife within the family, what could the parents do?

Without hesitation, Ling Ping’an picked up his phone and checked. He found that the Holy See did not say anything.

Clicking his tongue, he laughed because when he searched, the first line of the encyclopedia appeared: The Prison of Avignon.

The encyclopedia’s introduction wrote that Fran had imprisoned the Pope twice.

The first time was a few hundred years ago when King Philip IV of Fran moved the Holy See to Avignon and imprisoned it for several decades.

The second time was when the emperor’s nephew followed suit and moved the church to Avignon 20 years ago.

According to the encyclopedia, these were the two landmark events of the Land of Qin.

It was thought to be something similar to Great Xia’s history of ‘holding the emperor to order the va.s.sals’.

Hence, after reading this encyclopedia, Ling Ping’an understood.

How would the parents dare to say anything?

If he was not careful, he would be sent to Avignon to be a puppet.

As he read the encyclopedia, the news continued.

“This Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Egyptian kingdom announced this afternoon that due to the current situation in Kunlun State, the Egyptian kingdom will have no choice but to close the border indefinitely!”

“It is reported that the Egyptian kingdom has sent 200 thousand troops to seal the border! The aim is to prevent refugees from Kunlun state from flooding into Egypt.”

“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Empire announced at the press conference this afternoon that in order to deal with a possible humanitarian disaster, the federal empire will strengthen the defense of the Aslin naval base and send more troops to Donglai Autonomous Prefecture.”

“The aircraft carrier battle group of the Chang’an has been ordered to rush to the Aslin Naval Base!”

On the news footage, the Chang’an aircraft carrier battle group, which had been cruising between Ceylon and Lion Country for a long time, was seen crossing the strait in a grandiose manner.

“It is reported that, in addition to the necessary battle materials, the Chang’an aircraft carrier battle group will also carry over a million tons of living materials for the resettlement of refugees in the Marlin Kingdom!”

“Apart from that… the federal empire has already dispatched 20 cargo s.h.i.+ps to Kunlun state with all kinds of materials in order to provide timely relief to the refugees!”

“Regarding this, the Council of Ministers and the foreign aid committee have expressed that the federal empire will do everything possible to prevent a humanitarian crisis similar to the one in the North Kunlun State!”

Ling Ping’an looked at the television and could not help but put down his phone.

Even he could feel that there was some kind of tense and dangerous change in the world situation, the humanitarian crisis in the North Kunlun Republic was the largest humanitarian crisis that Ling Pingan knew of.

That was when he was young.

There was a civil war in the North Kunlun Republic. The civil war caused millions of people to flee their homes.

The refugees dragged their families and walked in the desert under the scorching summer heat.

Along the way, hundreds of thousands of people died.

Millions of people suffered from serious diseases due to hunger and thirst.

The survivors of these refugees, after fleeing to neighboring countries, had serious conflicts with the neighboring countries.

The result was the largest humanitarian crisis in history.

Millions of people died and lost their homes.

After the crisis, all the television and newspaper headlines were full of skinny refugees.

The most shocking one was a photo of a child in Kunlun state who was so hungry that he was only skin and bones. He was struggling on the ground and a vulture landed beside him.

This photo shocked everyone.

It led to the resignation of the Gonghe Party’s cabinet. They were criticized by the people for not acting effectively and allowing the disaster in Kunlun state to spread.

The person who took the photo, a reporter from the central news newspaper, also committed suicide in the midst of public opinion. The suicide note he left behind only had two words: Shame!

Now, the Federal Empire’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs actually said that they wanted to prevent a humanitarian crisis similar to that of the North Kunlun Republic.

This was actually hinting that a similar crisis was about to occur in Kunlun state.

“What’s going on?” Ling Ping’an scratched his head.

First, it was India, then land of Qin, and now it was Kunlun State.

Then, would something happen to the northern and southern Zhou continents as well?

One had to know that the Beizhou and Nanzhou continents were also scattered with hundreds of countries of various sizes.

These places had always been hotbeds of crisis.

Everything happened within one’s expectation!

He searched the news and discovered that the Beizhou kingdom and the Nanzhou Kingdom had already begun to deploy militias and armed police forces at the border.

“W-What is going on in this world?” he muttered to himself.

This reminded him of a saying he had heard in school: Peace was never born.
