Chapter 43: The Knight from Limburg (2)

The young man was fair-skinned and looked handsome, especially when he stood in front of a bunch of rough farmer hunters, and the crowd looked at the young man with a little doubt, wanting to see what he could say.

The young man picked up the hot water without hurry, took a sip slightly, and his movements were elegant and unique to aristocrats.

"We really don't need to rebel against Mordor. ”

The young man's words made everyone in the hotel stunned, and the man who roared that he was going to follow Lelouxiu, the Earl of the Red Dragon, to fight the orcs, obviously wanted to get angry, but after feeling the gaze of the giant man behind him, he quieted down again, and was not ready to say more, the young man continued:

"Actually, we don't need to rebel against anyone, because we are just an ordinary people, we work hard all seasons, only to be satisfied with three meals a day, we voluntarily donate taxes, just for the safety and beauty of our families, our requirements are very small, very simple, so as long as we can get such a life, then who is our lord, and what is the problem?"

The young man's words made everyone nod their heads, and at the same time they all thought that the young man was right.

"But if we can't meet such simple needs once we file a case, then why should we bear the taxes? The state has not given me anything, then I should not give anything to the state!"

The young man's words were actually very straightforward, even these farmers and hunters who had not read could understand it, they didn't understand what it meant to be two-way, but they understood that they deserved it if they gave it, and this simplest truth resonated greatly with this young man, these lowly people of the human race.

"But the reality is exactly what we need. ”

The young man paused, took two steps slightly, and his body moved closer to the crowd.

"We bear the heaviest taxes in history, we work all year round, we work hard, we can still have no food, we don't choose our clothes, our personal safety is not guaranteed, our wives and children are in danger of dying at any time, so tell me, why do we get all this in front of us, we pay, but why don't we get anything?"

The young man's tone raised, his voice was contagious, and the crowd's breathing slowly became heavy with these words, and his expression was also unwilling, a trace of resentment.

The young man took a few more steps, and he was closer to the crowd, and he was almost face to face with the crowd, and the crowd unconsciously made way for him, protecting him in the middle, consciously or unconsciously.

"We don't want to rebel against anyone! We don't want war and killing, we just want peace and the most basic security of life, but we don't have it, so what we have to do is not to resist, but only to obtain the amount and wealth that belongs to us, if the lord above cannot satisfy us, then we can get him ourselves! So this is not a rebellion, but a revolution, a revolution that originates from the people!"

The young man's words made the crowd applaud:

"Yes, we don't want to resist, we just want to get the most basic living security!"

"We don't want war, we don't want killing, we just want to be fed!"

"If the lord above can't give it to us, then we'll get it ourselves!"

...

The crowd was in a frenzied state, and almost everyone looked at the young man, who seemed to know what he needed, and he must have known how he should get it.

"What, then, is a revolution?"

The crowd asked such a question, and everyone looked at the young man anxiously, hoping that the young man could give them an answer, so that they could use this thing called revolution to get everything they needed, and the young man was stunned, and suddenly he drew his long sword and stabbed it into the ground, and the sound of the gold and stone crossing seemed to be full of magic.

"Revolution is war!"

The young man's words made everyone stunned, the originally warm atmosphere cooled slightly, and the crowd began to look left and right, not daring to face the young man.

"Don't we need war?"

A weak voice sounded, and the young man looked to the side, it was the man who had been yelling to join Lelouch at the beginning, and when he looked closer, he realized that it was a relatively thin man, judging by his dress, he should be an ordinary farmer.

"Of course we are not allowed to want war, but this war is not what we need, but what is imposed on us by the other side, and if we do not make a revolution, then what awaits us?

The young man's words made the crowd breathe heavier again, and they looked at the young man, and the crowd asked again:

"But we're no match for Mordor at all, we're too weak!"

This time, before the young man could speak, a man suddenly returned in a loud voice:

"Of course we can't, but the Red Dragon Count can, as long as we can gather under the Red Dragon Count's command, we will be able to defeat Mordor and regain the good life we once had. ”

This is the person who will join Limburg in the first place.

The crowd seems to have found hope and found their goal to succeed:

"Yes, the young man must be able to, hasn't he already done it!"

"As long as we let Lord Lelouch come out and lead the revolution, then we will definitely win!"

...

At this moment, suddenly a kid rushed in from the back door of the hotel, his face flushed with excitement, and some freckles on his nose:

"Have you heard? Lelouch, Earl of the Red Dragon, has left Limburg and is on his way to the White City, where he is preparing to hold a sealing ceremony for the young adults on the White Tower. ”

"Really? That's great!"

"Moreover, I have also heard that the Count of the Red Dragon comes along the official road, and stops at almost every stop to explain the hope of life to the people, and also preaches something called revolution, and I think that we are also on the official road, maybe we can also meet the Count of the Red Dragon, and he always carries a giant man with a giant sword on his back. ”

The boy's words made the crowd stunned, and he suddenly looked at the door, at this time, Lelouch had already put on his cloak and opened the door, the cold wind at the door seemed to be a little lighter, and from the store, two hundred neatly dressed white knights stood silently, letting the wind and snow hit their armor, this scene was particularly shocking in the eyes of the farmer.

Lelouch turned over and rode his own war horse, and two hundred knights also turned over on their horses, their movements were uniform, Lelouch took the war horse around, slightly strangled the horse's head, and the war horse was slightly restless and swayed the horse's hooves.

"Remember, the right to decide your own life is not in the hands of others, but in your own hands. ”

After saying the last sentence, Lelouch rode away, and two hundred knights and Nevsky followed on their horses, and the whole earth seemed to shake slightly.

As Lelouch set off for Baicheng, along the way, Lelouch almost deliberately stayed in each place for as much time as possible, and then preached his so-called "revolution", and at the same time, he also built momentum for himself to go to the imperial capital.

As early as when Limburg was just established, Lelouch deliberately cultivated this, although he didn't dare to say that everyone in the entire human race knew about Leluxiu, but at least in the north, almost no one would not know about Leluxiu, and there were even more people who were willing to follow Leluxiu, even if more of these people were still at the lip service stage.

Along the way, Lelouch's momentum has worked very well, with the evidence of the good life of the people of Limburg and the favorable messages about Lelouch that can be released, it can almost be said that as Lelouch gets closer and closer to Baicheng, there are more and more people in Baicheng who know Leluxiu, but these people are mainly concentrated in the lower classes.

But it doesn't matter, because Lelouch clearly knows where the most powerful power of a force, or a country or even a civilization, comes from.

The wind and snow quickly obscured Lelouxiu's figure, and as the figure got closer and closer to the White City, the undercurrent of the White City became more and more obvious.

...

"Have you heard? Count Red Dragon is coming to the Imperial Capital!"

"Eh, do you know? Count Red Dragon is coming, and the royal family is going to hold a canonization ceremony for Lord Lelouch on the White Tower!"

"The Red Dragon Count is here, and we will be able to live a good life. ”

"The Red Dragon Count is here, so we don't have to be afraid of orcs anymore. ”

"I heard that Count Red Dragon will enter the city through the north gate at that time, so let's go and meet him together. ”

...

When a simple thing is constantly repeated, then it will also be given a very different meaning, so when the civilians of the White City are washed away by the constant repetition of words, Lelouch seems to represent all the great glory of the world as the rumors say.

There are some deviations from what Lelouch envisions, although this effect is the best for Lelouch, but after all, for the modern Lelouch, I feel that the means are a little not bright, but it seems that in addition to Lelouch's own deliberate dissemination along the way, there are people who can spread messages that are beneficial to Lelouch, this message makes Lelouch's reputation among the people higher and higher, but the same, it is also becoming more and more fanatical, although it is still some distance from the purest fanaticism, but this development trend has made Lelouch a little concerned。

It seems that there is another group of people who are also secretly helping themselves, although Lelouch is very curious about their motives, but he has never found a trace, but Lelouch is not in a hurry about this, because there is no free lunch in the world, and now they have an investment, so sooner or later there will be a day to recover their investment profits, at least until then, Lelouch and them do not seem to have any conflict.
