Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Yellow Sparrow Follows
"What do you mean, sir?"
"My name is Joseph, may I ask you first, sir, what do you call him?"
Will couldn't help blushing a little when he heard Joseph call himself Mr. so graciously and politely, he had never heard anyone treat him so politely, and remembered that he had faced either low-quality peasants or high-ranking nobles before. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info Now that the Essis man in front of him suddenly called himself sir, he couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction in his heart. This feeling even overwhelmed the exhaustion of his body, making Will feel instantly refreshed.
Although Will was very excited, he didn't want to reveal his excitement, so he immediately replied with a pretended emotiveness: "My name is Will, sir." ”
Joseph looked at Will's somewhat stiff face and replied with a smile: "Mr. Will, I would like to ask, why do you and your companions dare to fight against the vicious nobles when they are obviously a group of peace-loving peasants who do not like to fight?" ”
"Ahem... Will struggled to keep his face calm and keep himself from laughing. Peace-loving? Don't like fighting? Will mentally scoffed at this statement.
Over the years, he had seen countless fights over neighborhood disputes around his father's village chief. Don't look at these peasants in front of the aristocracy one by one obediently like loyal dogs, when there is a conflict in private, who is not the master who does it just by copying the guys? There are also many people who have been killed or injured because of neighborhood fights.
"Actually, it's not that we want to fight against the nobles, but the nobles don't care about us at all, they only know how to plunder our property and cut off our way of life, so we are forced to fight to the death. It's really helpless. ”
"Well, I understand your suffering. But now that you've embarked on this path, do you have any plans for the future? ”
"This..."
Will was silent, although he won Edelman's attack for the time being, but behind Edelman was the entire aristocracy, and once the war was over, Frambert would definitely usher in more ferocious revenge.
"I wonder what you think, sir?" A voice interjected into the conversation between the two.
"Your Excellency?"
"In Lower Sauron."
"I don't have an idea, but I suggest a few."
"I want to hear about it."
"Now that you've come this far, you know that there's no turning back. Whether you stay in Tuscany or elsewhere, the nobles will not tolerate you. ”
"That's right."
"I think you should unite other people who are just as oppressed as you, knowing that if you are powerful, even the nobles will not dare to touch you casually."
"Adults say it lightly, but it's too difficult to do." Sauron shook his head, indicating that Joseph's suggestion was not feasible.
"Sauron, why can't it be? If we can do it, then others should be able to do the same with us, right? Without waiting for Joseph to speak, Will was the first to wonder, it seemed that he was more anxious than Joseph.
Sauron glanced at Will and frowned, "Will, if we weren't driven to a dead end, who would take the initiative to fight against the nobles?" People in other places are not stupid, how can they put down their good days and rebel with us? ”
Joseph raised his eyebrows, as if he didn't expect the young man in front of him to have such insight.
But though he was surprised, he explained, "Well, Mr. Sauron is wrong. The reason why people are reluctant to rise up against the aristocracy is not how good the aristocracy is to them, but that they are not capable and have no confidence. Today's battle can be said to set a precedent for centuries of peasant victory over the aristocracy. If you spread the word about this, I am sure that everyone will be inspired by your actions.
Moreover, the oppression and plundering of commoners by the aristocracy has not been a day or two for a long time. Presumably, the vast majority of people have a backlog of hatred for the aristocracy. I believe that as long as someone ascends to the top and shouts, they will surely follow like a cloud. ”
"But even if that were the case, we wouldn't be able to do that. We were originally a group of ordinary peasants, and many of our relatives lost their lives directly in this battle. We are precarious now, and we don't even know how to spend tomorrow. The struggle for power and profit is such a thing, so let's leave it to the nobles. ”
"Sauron! How can you think that? His Excellency Joseph is right, the nobles treat us so brutally and we don't treat us as human beings at all, if we can really stand up and lead the vast number of oppressed people, we will definitely be able to overthrow the rule of the aristocracy! ”
"But we have neither men nor food and weapons, so what can we rely on to fight the nobles?"
"This... I am sure that His Excellency Joseph will help us. Is it, Lord Joseph? ”
Joseph looked at Sauron first and then at Will. He smiled and nodded, "That's right." As long as you stand up and lead the people of the rest of the region to rise up against the rule of the Rollin nobles, I can provide you with all the supplies you need. Including ordnance, food, money, and more. ”
"I wonder what His Excellency Joseph has to guarantee?" Sauron asked.
Hearing this, Joseph took out a bronze ring from the inner pocket of his clothes, which was branded with a pattern. Sauron looked closely, and it was a pattern of an eagle spreading its wings. Sauron had seen this pattern before, when he was a small soldier under Renard, and it was on the banner fluttering and waving above the army of Essis opposite.
"Please allow me to introduce you to the two of you once again, originally Joseph, now the head of the propaganda department of the court of Essis."
"Propaganda Department?" Will and Sauron had never heard of this thing.
"In short, I will do what I promise you." Joseph did not explain in detail, but directly explained to the two that his promise was absolutely valid.
Looking at Joseph, who was confidently waiting for his answer, Will and Sauron were silent again.
"Your Excellency Joseph, may we discuss this matter?" Will said hesitantly.
"Of course, but I have some news for you first."
"What's the news?"
"Not long ago, the lord of the Duchy of Escis, Duke of Essis, my lord, His Royal Highness the Duke of Alan Ouranos, had successfully captured Fort Como, and Prince Renard of the Kingdom of Rollin had returned from a great defeat and retreated to the royal capital. And your lord, Lord Earl Frembert, has also been captured by our army. ”
"What!" Will and Sauron were shocked, they never thought that the kingdom of Rollin would actually be defeated by the Essis. Although he was not optimistic about the battle after seeing the combat strength of the Essis army, he was still taken aback when he heard the news.
Joseph glanced at the direction of Iverson's corpse and said, "In other words, the Tuscan Territory has lost its nominal owner!" (To be continued.) )
