Chapter 103 - 93: The Magic Power of the War Attribute Increases Again_1
Ivita realized that Lord Prole’s goal was to sow discord.
His actions bore resemblance to the public opinion wars on Earth in her previous life, where some people would intentionally hire trolls to express extreme opinions online on behalf of their opponents. This would sway public opinion towards extremism, causing the undecided or those of weak will to begin to despise those supporting these views.
Lord Prole’s manipulation was similar.
He deliberately sided with the supporters of the city faction, ostensibly expressing his support for these people, while in reality, his extreme remarks were intended to sway the undecided to oppose the city faction.
Unfortunately, this approach was a bit too straightforward. If he could covertly influence city council members and bribe some of them to express similar views, the effect would be better.
However, Ivita realized that this method was also unreliable.
In doing so, they would leave too many loopholes. If the bribed city council members publicly admitted their bribes, it would throw Lord Prole into a predicament instead.
Besides, given the urgency and limited time, Lord Prole probably had no choice but to take matters into his own hands.
Lord Prole’s words sparked a heated debate, and some people indeed wanted Parviga to become an independent republic.
The President of the Wool Guild stood up and vehemently attacked this idea. "The city of Parviga is still a city of the Viscountcy."
"We are still protected by the law of the Grand Viscount, as well as the blessing of the Thousand-Year Fire."
