The chatter of the citizens of Fireplace Valley gradually subsided, and Tyran continued his speech.

He pressed his hands outward, "I know better than all of you the dangers of these edicts, the Valley of the Hearth is our Ferding family's domain, and its prosperity and decay are concerned about our family's reputation in governing the territory. The most important thing is that it affects the daily life of our people in Hearthvalley! ”

"It is clear that we have all been deeply hurt by these decrees that bind us. Hearthvale, the city that nurtured us, is also in danger..."

"The invasion of undead monsters a few days ago almost broke through our gates. Many of our warriors have had to stop their attacks with flesh and blood, including your sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers, mothers. Most of them are your relatives, and they let their blood be sprinkled on this land to protect you. ”

"However, in this holy war, there is also a heart-wrenching scene..."Tyran sighed, he looked down at the civilians listening intently to his speech, "Some of the citizens who entered the city during the war were executed as infected by the plague of the dead..."

"At first, I was also angry about it. I don't think the Crusaders could end other people's lives at will! Everyone has the right to live!! But—" Tyran looked back at the citizens below, "Commander Renault may be right, and I know people will be outraged by what I'm saying now!" But there's a reason for that..."

The crowd began to buzz and talk.

Looking at the different people below, Tyran calmed down, and he pointed to the crowd and said, "No one knows what they did outside, what they encountered, whether they were infected with the plague. To date, no one knows exactly how long the plague of the undead has been incubating. If, Commander Renault, let them into the city... It doesn't take much, as long as one person is infected with the plague, then the consequences can be imagined..."

"Many of you have fled to Hearthvale during the War of the Dead, and you must have felt that immersive fear. If the situation I just said were to happen, then the plague would spread quickly through the city, you, you, and you, you..."

Tyran looked at the civilians grimly, "You will once again face this great panic between life and death, you will be separated, your families will be destroyed, and the Valley of the Hearth may fall as a result." And this time, will you be able to escape this crisis? ”

The crowd was buzzing again...

"You have only seen the Crusaders slaughter unarmed people like you, and you may be terrified of it. I didn't expect the consequences they might bring..."

"Now, you're thinking about what I said. Do you dare to bet on your own family? Do you dare to bet with your relatives and friends? Dare to gamble with your life? Do you dare? ”

"At least I wouldn't dare make this bet with Fireplace Valley."

Before Tyran could finish his words, someone in the crowd retorted loudly.

"But my lord, you don't have to put them to death right now. We could have imprisoned them for a while to see if they were actually infected with the plague. ”

The citizen's words made everyone else echo him.

"Yes, the Light is merciful. It may shine on those infected by the plague. ”

"If my family is infected with the plague, I will do it myself, and I will definitely not threaten anyone else!"

Tyran motioned for the citizens to be quiet again, and he continued, "Yes, you all have a point. I also believe that you should be able to make decisions to your loved ones when you need to make a decision... However, I can't. I am your lord, and I need to think about all those who live in the Valley of the Hearth! ”

"Again, some of your views are very similar to mine. What if we chose to keep citizens suspected of being infected with the plague in solitary confinement for a period of time to see if they were infected with the plague? Is this the case, so that many citizens will be spared the fear of life because of this? ”

"The reason why I speak out of this matter is because of the many decrees that are now bound to us, when they were first enacted, only took into account all the circumstances of the time, and did not at all consider whether they were really suitable for us in the years that followed!"

"And these decrees have repeatedly bound us, suppressed us, oppressed us!!" Tyran suddenly became agitated, and he spoke quickly and decisively, "If only there was no mistake in our foreign policy!" Will we still starve here? If our decrees were not so harsh, would our soldiers be timid? If our laws didn't restrict our freedom, and we could come and go as we pleased, would we still be fighting here for a piece of food? Or even use some stealing?! ”

As he spoke, Tyran pointed to the gallows behind him. "It's just a wheat cake! It costs you a human life for this!! Citizens! Do you think it's worth it?! ”

Rumble!

The crowd exploded!

They echoed Tyran's words with great emotion, and they even cheered! Voices singing the praises of Tyran are everywhere!

"Well said! Your Lord! ”

"You are our guiding light! Your Lord! I'm proud that you're my lord! ”

"Repeal those cannibalistic laws! Your Lord! ”

"Your lords are waiting for your command!"

This song of praise made all the prosecutors present gloomy, and most of the people who implemented the decrees he said were done by them. Moreover, this speech deviated from their Attorney General and their assurances.

Just like Ethan Lion's gloomy face at the moment, compared to his heart must be mixed at the moment.

This good boy who is obedient in his mind has handed him an unexpected answer here. His conversation last night was still useless.

His original intention was for Tylan to gradually improve and repeal these unreasonable decrees. The purpose is to protect the specific implementers of these decrees, the prosecutors. As well as maintaining the face of all the adults in the upper echelons of the entire upper class.

After all, for the implementation of these decrees, they are also more or less signed.

Now, Tyran had gained the support of the lower ranks, but had offended all the Crusader high-ranking and all the clergy who stayed in the Valley of the Hearth.

When Ethan Lien was helpless, the speech on the stage continued.

"We will repeal all these decrees that bind us! We will improve our relations with the other armies of the kingdom, and in the future, I and the other adults will go to Iva to seek the understanding and assistance of Lord Harvey! We will not be in a hostile relationship, our enemies will only be the undead scourge! ”

"No, I think I can make some changes right now!"

As he spoke, Tyran calmed down his somewhat agitated mood and said, "I'm Tyran Fordin! Lord of the Hearthvale! The Grand Commander of the Crusaders to which the Valley of the Hearths belongs! I am announcing a decree today! The Crusaders to which the Valley of the Hearth belongs are not enemies of other armies in the kingdom! Our enemies are only the undead who destroy our kingdom! No army or individual may be hostile to the other armies of the kingdom! ”

At this moment, even the soldiers who were maintaining order around them were happy.

Perhaps affected by the fierce atmosphere in the square, Tyran felt that it was not enough, and turned behind him to say a few words, and after a few words of acceptance from the people below, three people with ropes tied to their bodies were taken to the gallows.

"Strict laws and regulations, let each of us be cautious. But I believe that these decrees might have a better effect if they had been more lenient. ”

Pointing to the three men in tattered clothes, Tyran said loudly to the people below, "The three of them have violated the laws of our Hearthvale. Now, let's hear what kind of sin they have committed to be hanged here. ”

"It starts with you." Tyran gestured to the prisoner beside him.

"I... Stealing a piece of wheat bread from the store because of hunger. The prisoner did not dare to raise his head at all, he bowed his head and said, "I am guilty... I plead guilty..."

Tyran's gaze crossed over to the prisoner, and he looked at the warden behind them, who nodded to Tyran.

"Stealing is a shameful act, and it would not cost you your life in normal times..."

"But we're in the Valley of the Hearth now! This special time!! This kind of behavior is really serious. Tyran muttered to himself as he walked, "A piece of wheat cake can even determine the life and death of a family in this special period. ”

"In normal times, his criminal act was just a flogging. And in this special period, in order to satisfy his own selfish desires, he steals food..."Tyran shook his head pityingly, "This is an unforgivable sin! ”

"Hang him! This filthy thief! ”

"We've got your back! Your Lord! This kind of person is the most hateful! ”

The shouts of the people came and went, and no one would have a good opinion of the thief.

Tyran motioned for everyone to be quiet again, only this time, they were drawn to the howls of the crowd from far and near.

"Sir!"

"Sir! Please go around him! Master! ”

The crowd was crowded, and those who had crossed the way appeared at the front of the gallows, and Tyran looked back at a young woman with a little girl in the audience.

"Sir... You go around him—" The woman appeared under the gallows with tears in her eyes, and she pulled the little girl to her knees, kowtowing to Tyran.

"The piece of wheat bread he stole gave us... My man died on the battlefield ... I—" said the woman with tears and snot, "there have been more and more people in the Hearth Valley since last year. I just can't find a job to earn a living, I don't have the financial resources, I can't support my children..."

"He... Look at us pitiful... "I didn't know he was a thief, and if I knew, I wouldn't have let him do it again." ”

"I hope you're sir... For his sake, do not kill him. For the sake of the men who died on the battlefield... Give him a way out... Sir..."

Saying that, the woman knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, her young child, looking at Tylan with aggrieved eyes, and said, "Lord Lord, you have bypassed my father." ”

There was a low sobbing from the thief on the stage, but he didn't defend himself.

Tyran's hand clenched tightly, and it took him a long time before he let go, and he began to regret that he had interfered with the course of the law.

Ignoring the kneeling woman, he crouched down but the gallows was still high, so he asked the guards below to carry the little girl up.

The women in the audience looked nervously at Tyran...

"What's your name?" Tyran looked at the little girl with a smile, trying to be as gentle as she could. Although the little girl was covered in a strange smell, her body was also dirty and full of mud and unknown stolen goods.

"My name is Karada Moore." The little girl looked at Tyran timidly.

"Do you know him?" Tyran pointed to the thief who was kneeling beside him.

"Yes, he's my new dad, and he's always brought me and my mom food." The little girl nodded happily.

"Do you know your original father?"

The little girl shook her head, "I haven't met my old father, but I heard my mother say that my old father was a hero. He went out to fight monsters for the sake of our family, to protect Karada and his mother. ”

This hero woke up the memory in Tyran's heart, and a burst of softness was touched, and Tyran's eyes were a little rosy.

No more asking, Tyran knew everything he wanted to know.

"Karada? Well, your new dad will be fine, I promise. Tyran sniffed, and he smiled and patted the little girl's dirty hair, then groped in his pocket for a while, and found half a wheat cake and handed it to the little girl.

"Your dad is a hero, a hero to all of us in Hearthvale!"

After letting the guards carry the little girl down, Tyran straightened up. The woman who heard him kowtow vigorously to thank him for his forgiveness, and the thief next to him also knelt down in front of Tyran, licking the dust from Tyran's boots.

The executioners quickly pulled the thief away, but the thief's tears of joy were heard here.

The citizens in the audience also heard the conversation between them, and the crowd watched Tylan silently.

"I'm glad that goodness is still there in our land. A spurned thief who steals everyone's food to save a broken family trying to protect our Hearthvale. ”
