"Line up!" The sound of a high-pitched procession sounded.

The next moment was the sound of rapid armor rubbing, and each soldier quickly followed the instructions, facing the stands, and lined up in four straight rows. In just a few seconds, the rearrangement was completed, which is unique on this continent.

But that doesn't end there. Soon the next group of soldiers entered the square. Unlike before, they had spears in their hands that were four meters long, and yes, they were the Phalanx of Essis. After the phalanx regiment was re-arrayed, it was the assault corps, the ranger cavalry, and the heavy cavalry.

However, after a while, the square was neatly assembled with five phalanxes under Allen. Guy was now fully dressed and standing at the front of the phalanx. Although the knight's armor has long ceased to shine, it has been wiped clean.

"Lord Duke, assemble and wait for instructions!"

Allen looked at the three hundred and twenty soldiers in the five phalanxes below, they were really clear-cut, with strong guns and knives, and they were strict and powerful. When he thought that he had built it bit by bit, he couldn't help but be ambitious.

Alan walked forward, past Gloria, to the front of the stands. Although the nobles frowned slightly and were dissatisfied with Allen's rude actions, they were surprisingly silent at this time.

At this time, LeBlanc, who had been hiding behind the stands, gently recited a spell and shook his wand slightly. A ripple crept out under the stands, and then vanished before everyone noticed.

"My dear soldiers, my brothers!" Allen's words came from the stands, and after an unknown change, they were magically magnified several times. The loud sound echoed in every corner of the square, and everyone could hear it very clearly. This change had no effect on the soldiers, not even the expressions on their faces. The civilians behind first let out an exclamation, and then, perhaps feeling the solemn atmosphere, quickly calmed down.

"My warriors! The reason why I let you stand in front of this public today is because I want everyone to see it! Let's see what the hell is that makes us Essis stand tall above the continent!"

"For more than a year, we have experienced the Battle of Tulga, the Battle of Lower Lorraine and the Battle of the Luo River. The enemies we faced were stronger than the other, but without exception, we were all victorious. What is this for? Is our enemy too stupid? Or are we just just lucky? I tell you, it's all your work! It is the sweat and blood you shed on the battlefield. Without you, there would be no Essis!"

Alan took a deep breath and said very solemnly: "So today, I announce it to you. From now on, you will share all the glory with me! Whether it's the Ouranos family, or the whole of Essis, you will always be remembered!"

As Allen's voice fell, the five phalanxes, a total of three hundred and twenty people, shouted in unison: "Always loyal to Lord Duke!" Forever loyal to Ouranos!"

The shouts echoed across the square, overshadowing everything. Although it was only the shouts of three hundred and twenty people, it was indeed a monstrous sound in the ears of everyone.

"My people, take a good look at these lovely warriors before you. Henceforth do not fear them, for each one of them comes from among you. I, Alan Ouranos, are here to announce to you that they have only one duty in the future, and that is to defend their homeland! Fight for the whole of Essis!"

The crowd around the square heard Allen's words and looked at the soldiers inside. As a small citizen, there is a natural fear of the army. That stems from the long-standing notion that the military is brutal and unreasonable. In particular, many people have experienced the trauma of war and have a deep-seated fear of the military.

Alan naturally knew this, and he knew that it was absolutely impossible to change people's minds with just one short speech. But he said it anyway because he wanted to plant a seed in the hearts of the people. As long as there is this seed, then one day, the seed will grow into a big tree.

Behind her, Gloria stared at Alan's back firmly, clenching her fists, as if she was as excited as Eren in her heart. Lawrence and Bashir looked at each other silently and shook their heads at the same time. The moment they looked at each other, they understood that after this speech, Allen's army would definitely be dead set on him, and it was no longer the noble army that was confused and fought for some reason. Manuel, on the other hand, has bright eyes, he seems to have discovered the secret of Allen's army, and he has begun to plan his new army in his heart.

Alan seemed to be unsatisfied. He waved his hand at Guy and said, "My people, please come forward, I have something to say to you."

Guy received the gesture and immediately gave orders to the soldiers behind him. Soon the five phalanxes divided into two columns, left the square neatly, and stood on the left and right sides of the stands.

Maybe it's because of the hundreds of years of good governance of the Ouranos family, or maybe it's out of fear of the nobility. The civilians of Essis obeyed Alan's words and walked into the plaza and gathered in front of Alan.

Looking at these civilians who were generally dressed in coarse linen, Allen couldn't help but sigh at the huge gap between the rich and the poor. Then it said in its warm words: "My people. Thousands of years ago, my ancestors of Ouranos had already taken root in this land. Then the city of Essis grew from a small town with only a few hundred people to a large city with more than 100,000 people. In the millennia, there have been more than one existential threat to our existence. But we still have the tenacity to get to where we are today. I am able to stand on the mainland today and become a great nobleman with a name and surname, not only because of my status as a nobleman. What is more important is the effort you put in. Because of your continuous efforts and continuous struggle for thousands of years, this great Essis is here!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Allen's voice fell, and the soldiers on both sides involuntarily shouted in unison.

"So today! In the name of Alan Ouranos, I ask of you, all of you citizens of Iessis! From now on, when you face anyone, be proud! Be proud! Because this is the greatest honor I can give you!"

The citizens of Essis looked at Allen, who was giving a passionate speech in the stands, and his heart, which had been tormented by the hustle and bustle of daily life, suddenly seemed to regain his vitality at this moment.

Many people suddenly remembered that it was just over a year ago. The life of each of them is still so static, from sunrise to sunset, the only thing they think about is survival. They civilians speak nicely, better than the savages outside the city. But in fact, it is not as beautiful as ordinary people think.

In many cases, there are many more contradictions in the city than in the wild. The three urban tumors of thieves, hooligans, and bullies have always been the standard configuration of every city on this continent, and they are the parasites of every city. There was also the Chamber of Commerce, which monopolized trade throughout the city. Disaster money, war money, these are the things they are most happy to see. Not to mention the fierce tax collectors, the rude guards and the brutal aristocrats.

However, just after Allen established his cabinet, a strong government emerged. Not only did they sweep away all kinds of trade unions in the city, but they also suppressed those chambers of commerce. The aristocracy is not unscrupulous, everything in the city is regulated by law, and no one can do whatever he wants. As a result of these measures, the city has become significantly safer, which is the most basic condition for Allen to gain the trust of the people.

Coupled with the deep-rooted influence of the Ouranos family in Essis for thousands of years, Allen's prestige among civilians has suddenly risen by more than one level.

Now, when Alan shouted it. Everyone who lived in Essis couldn't help but shed tears, for the first time, for the first time ever. A nobleman would say such a thing to a commoner. He even shared the exploits and glory of the nobles with the commoners.

Not only the citizens of Essis were surprised, but even the nobles of Ammuxi behind Eren couldn't sit still.

A gorgeously dressed middle-aged nobleman was the first to stand up and shouted angrily: "Ouranos, how can you speak such ignorant language! Aristocrats are inherently noble beings, and you actually put nobles on the first class of commoners, which is really the biggest insult to nobles! You don't deserve to be a nobleman at all!"

"Not bad! Your actions like this are simply destroying the glory and dignity of your Ouranos family for thousands of years, aren't you afraid of the wrath of your ancestors!" Another nobleman stood up and questioned Allen.

After that, more and more nobles got up and left the arena to protest Allen's actions.

The slightest movement in the stands was transmitted in all directions through invisible forces. Naturally, the scolding and questioning of the nobles were also heard by the commoners.

There was fear, fear that the wrath of the nobles would bring disaster. Some were outraged, and they were unwilling to accept the arrogance of the nobles. Others were staring at Eren closely, looking at their lord, their lord. They waited for Alan's attitude. There is expectation, confusion, and fear in these eyes.

Hahahaha! Allen's laughter covered up the chaotic stands, looking at the disgusted and disdainful eyes of these nobles, Allen said with some sympathy and pity as if he was standing in the perspective of God: "My people, look at the ugly faces of these nobles. This is the pride of the nobility, and this is their glory. What an ignorant man!"

Allen turned to face the expectant people below the stands.

"Let me tell you. Every life living on the El Continent is equal! Whether it's an Ammushi or a Moslian. It doesn't matter if it's a human, or an elf, or a dwarf. As long as they also grow on this heaven and earth, and eat the same grains, then we are all equal!"

When Eren said these words, the humans under the stands may not have been too excited, but those aliens could not hold back the excitement in their hearts and cheered.

Dwarves, elves, and barbarians may have some races they don't know, but the moment Eren said racial equality, they all couldn't help but shed tears.

Although there are many races in the El Continent, they have not gotten along well for thousands of years. When human beings ruled the continent, they also thought in their bones that they ruled all the creatures on the continent. This arrogance produces countless evils. Enslavement, ****, killing, and plundering are sins when they happen to humans, but when they happen to foreigners, no one ever pays attention.

This situation, which is ignored and taken for granted by everyone at this stage, is intolerable in the eyes of Allen, who is deeply influenced by modern thinking. He knows very well that there is no high or low in life, and that aliens also have the right to live. And more importantly, if he wants to accomplish his great cause, he needs to unite all those who can be united. Interracial, of course, is among them.

Alan was not disturbed by the cheers of the aliens, he had expected this situation for a long time. But he wants more than that, he wants a lot more!

"In the same way, I will tell you. The title of nobility should not be a gap between us, it should be a link between you and me! Therefore, I think. ”

"Everyone can become a nobleman!"

This sentence exploded in the city of Essis like an earth-shattering shock. At this time, both the nobles and commoners of An Muxi were already stunned. No one thought that Alan would do this.

At this point, I can't get it back. This is already Allen's public distancing with the aristocracy.

"Why are the nobles superior to you? I tell you, a true nobleman is not because he is noble by blood, not because he is noble in status. The criterion for identifying a nobleman is the level of morality and the amount of contribution! A person with high morals and contributions to the country, even if he is a slave, can become a nobleman! A person who does many evils and endangers society, no matter how high his status is, will definitely be punished by the people!"

If it were to be anywhere on the mainland, Allen's words would not have any effect. But here is Essis, here is the Academy of Athens. And it was the influence of the Athens Academy in Esis that a large number of scholars, intellectuals entered Essis, disseminated knowledge, spread new values, worldview, outlook on life.

Until then, the vast majority of them had been forgotten.

The nobles didn't need them, and the commoners didn't need them. They can't find the meaning of existence in real life, which is one of the reasons why many people gradually go crazy and get lost in their desires. For example, the spurned school of cynicism, which was largely born from this.

And Allen's words directly hit their hearts, with these words, they can find their purpose in life again, and they can truly become a useful person in their hearts.

More importantly, many of the students of the Athens Academy came from commoner, dilapidated aristocratic families. Their only hope is Allen's reuse of them.

So when Allen shouted such a declaration, the people of the Athens Academy were boiling.

"Alan Ouranos!"

"Alan Ouranos!"

"Alan Ouranos!"

They cheered Allen's name and vented their emotions loudly. And in the end, it also ignited the blood of those civilians.

The entire city of Essis was in a state of cheers, and the name of Alan Ouranos resounded in the sky! (To be continued.) )
