Chapter 31: Let's Fly. Wings. middle
"I see...... It doesn't seem to be completely hopeless. Han Tianxiang muttered to himself in a low voice. "But it is not enough to fight for external stimuli, but also to stab them from the inside, preferably from the depths of their hearts, so that they feel pain, depression, anger, and even finally break the shackles of their bodies and let out a roaring roar of consciousness." Well, in this way, these people are really qualified to join my command of the King of Puren......"
At this time, Xius was watching this qiΔ from the sidelines. When he noticed that Tianxiang's speech seemed to be in a difficult situation, unable to mobilize a positive response from the civilians, he suddenly seemed to think of something for some reason.
Hughes pulled out a long sword from one of the mercenaries, and then ordered several mercenaries to carry out three sacks of dry food and carry it all to the people. Then, with a sword, he slashed open the sack and poured out all the dry food inside.
"Your Excellency!" When a Pullen knight saw more than a hundred pieces of black bread rolling to the ground, he was immediately anxious. You must know that at this moment, there are still many people in the city of Pulun who are starving and eating grassroots! This miscellaneous piece that came out of nowhere dared to trample on such an important material lightly, and he was so angry that he even had the heart to divide the five horses of Xiusi!
"It's okay, let's see what he's going to do."
Compared to the anger of the Pleon cavalry, Tianxiang was extraordinarily calm. He watched faintly as Hughes smashed pieces of black bread on the ground, then smashed them into pieces.
As he trampled on, he yelled at the villagers, "Look at that! You stupid things! You are full, and you are not hungry! Have you forgotten the pain of hunger?! Think about it, just a few minutes ago, you were hungry! Bark! Grassroots! You can eat everything! Why? Why do you eat it?!! β
"Because you want to live more than anyone else!! No matter how painful the world is! No matter how unfair! You also want to stay in this world from the bottom of your heart! Leave your own track and save zΓ i's proof! And then when I die, I can smile happily and say to the whole world!! I've lived this life freely! β
Xiusi's words rushed to the depths of everyone's hearts at once, and the eyes of all the villagers lit up in unison!
"Stay alive ......"
"I want to live......"
"In order to survive, even people dare to eat, but why do I still ......"
The air, which had just been silent, began to spread as the villagers' brains began to become active. The numb eyes of many people gradually began to liven, and as the light inside became more and more abundant, the aura of these villagers gradually became full of life.
At this moment, Tianxiang jumped down from the carriage and picked up a piece of thin black bread that had been trampled on from the ground.
He glanced at Hughes, who nodded slightly.
"............" Tianxiang nodded at the other party, which was regarded as an approval of his behavior. Then he turned his head again and continued to shout in front of all the villagers: "Look! All your hard work throughout the year is for this moment! I have worked hard to be able to eat a bite of food alive to this day! But even if it's so hard to live every day! And to use the nobles as cattle and horses! and give them shields and spears! For their benefit and wealth, but let us bleed rivers of blood! The corpses are piling up!! And in the end, they didn't even leave us with a bite to eat!! What have we lived for so far!! β
The villagers looked at Hughes with gray faces, and everyone stared at the black bread on the ground, at the pieces of sloppy bread that had been trampled, and at the sacks that they had worked so hard to grow, but in the end they all became other people's things, and they gave these crops life and future builders with their labor...... But here you are waiting to be starved to death?
"Fuck it!" The discontent in the hearts of the villagers is growing, and anger and rebellious anger are piling up. They looked at the black bread all over the floor, gritted their teeth with hatred, and their eyes were red.
Many of the women clung to their children and sobbed quietly, because almost all of these women and men went out to work, joined the army, and became mercenaries for the piece of black bread on the ground, but all of them did not come back without exception. No one knows if they're dead or alive, and likewise, no one expects them to come back and do something here.
At this time, Theseus stood up and shouted loudly again: "Since you have already said this! Then I'll tell you all! The food you have in front of you is actually the food you have grown! The nobles collect all your food and sell it at a high price in the market! Then the money will be divided equally between them and the royal family! Whether it's the king or the nobles, they don't care about the life or death of you people at all!! β
"It doesn't matter if that's the case! Then I'll go ahead and tell you something. In Yorktown! There are ten large granaries that are fully stocked! There's enough food to feed tens of thousands of people for a year! β
"But they have so much grain and yet they don't give you a single grain! They watched your men starve to death! The old man starved to death! The child starved to death! Wife starved to death!! I won't come to your rescue until all of you are dead! If you know this qiΔ! Then sue sΓΉ me!! For the sake of this corrupt aristocracy and greedy kingdom! Are you still willing to give your lives to protect the nobles and kings?!! β
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and a young man with blond hair and blue eyes was seen squeezing out of the crowd with humiliation and anger on his face.
"Absolutely not!!" He walked in front of Tianxiang and stopped, and then shouted with all his strength! And this roar of his was like a match, and at once it ignited all the powder kegs stationed in the hearts of everyone in the entire village!
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the anger of the villagers was completely ignited, and the explosion then turned into an earth-shattering explosion that resounded throughout the clear sky. The villagers let out a roar that bordered on their hearts, their eyes red, their expressions furiously staring at Tianxiang and the Rose of Glory behind him.
"That's right! Even today - you must not continue to bow to those nobles!! A country that cares nothing about the lives of its own people is not worth continuing to support! Now is the time to revolt! Join us! Become a part of our Pulen King City!! If you will, then at least one thing I can assure you! That is, if I am a member of the Pulon Royal City, even if I starve to death, I will definitely give you a full meal!! β
Tianxiang used all his strength, facing the endless sky on his back, and shouted.
"The Puron King's City! Puron King's City! Puron King's City! The city of Puren is ............!! β
The villagers roared feverishly at the Daimyo of the Pulen Castle, and they waved their fists, and the anger in their hearts was completely vented. At this moment, they will become pawns in Tianxiang's hands, turning into spears and shields, hands and feet and eyes, and dedicating a qiΔ to the prosperity of the Purun King City!
However, this is not enough, as this is only a loyalty earned in a frenzied atmosphere, it must also give them the confidence to further become fanatical admirers of the royal city of Pullen and vow never to betray.
Tianxiang turned and walked back to the carriage while the villagers shouted "Purun King City!" The royal city of Pullen ......! His eyes followed Tianxiang's back closely, and he moved with his every move.
"Today! I am happy! Stand on the land that became the people of the royal city of Pullen! Standing here reminds me of a qiΔ that happened when the Pulen Castle was first founded! There has been pain and despair! But it is more about the unyielding and tolerant of strong enemies! β
"Of course, we know that the current Pleon King City is simply not enough to compete with any known country or power on the continent now! Because we're still weak! Very, very weak! Even an army of 1,000 people is enough to beat us to the ground and ruin the country!! β
"But! We Pulen people will not deny our weakness!! How majestic was the Roman Empire! They held swords and marched on a majestic military song! Holding the eagle banner that makes the whole world tremble, the whole world is bleeding! Bow down! Then the Roman army returned to the city of Rome in triumph and glory! Their figure is remembered by the world!! Their stories have been remembered and sung by the whole world for thousands of years! And to this day, their successors still live in the far East! β
"And, Alexander, King of Conquers! What an amazing army that went on an expedition to the East! The sheer size of the empire still affects us to this day! Let our ears tremble with excitement just by hearing their names! Look up and praise their supreme feats! β
"But so what?" Tianxiang's tone fell, and he said in a deep voice: "We are indeed extremely weak compared to them, so weak that it makes people despair and sigh!" No one even thinks we'll be able to reach the same heights as them! β
