The era of "heroes", the era of transcendence, has long ended!

Yes, before that, in the middle of the stage of history, it was always the nobles or the gifted transcendent who enjoyed all the lights and applause. At least, before the New Age, the historians, like the most vulgar spectators, would only focus their barren gaze on the center stage. And in the place where they have abandoned it, the vast number of mortals have been born and died here, and they have been born and died endlessly. They are the cornerstone of the world, yet they are always ignored by the world.

If there was no story on the "July Grass", such foolishness would continue, right?

In the final years of the Glorious Age, the civil war of the Nadia Sky Federation had reached its most intense juncture, with the war between the old Arcane magnates and the new military and industrial aristocracy tearing the country in half. A group of displaced people and ordinary soldiers eventually came together to fight for a little survival in the brutal war. They had a premonition that there was no hope of continuing to live in the Sky Federation, and that leaving their homes and never returning to their hometown had become their last choice.

They firmly believe that the goddess Nadia will not give up on them, and they also believe that they will eventually find a home.

Among them were General Rudolf Gezette, who would later be revered as great men, Captain Thorns Planck, and Madame Maria Fangel. If they had been gone, the story of the "July Grass" would have been lost in the shadow of history.

Leaving the Confederation in the midst of civil war, General Rudolf Gezette, who led all the refugees, chose the New World as the place of escape for everyone. Because only here can we escape all the strife and war of the Old World. He encouraged everyone by saying, "We are not running away, we are fighting for freedom." We are to seek freedom of the body and freedom of the mind! ”

When someone cried that he could never return to his hometown in the Old World, he said, "As long as there is freedom, everywhere is home." ”

However, the process of the expedition was so thrilling.

As they were leaving, the fleet was hit by a storm, and General Gezett's aide-de-camp, Dumbolet Dandillane, died, and the flagship was nearly destroyed. He had to move to the July Grass with his crew, yes, our later protagonist.

However, when the fleet landed near the Falling Star Sea to replenish, it was still discovered by Brayden's navy.

The poor man on board was worried that the generals would take away his wife and children, but there was nothing he could do. They didn't even have a change of clothes but their own clothes. All their belongings were left in the country, with little to spare. The men begged the Brayden soldiers to spare them and were willing to pay all the price. The poor woman and the children cowered in the corner of the boat in horror, shivering. They didn't know what fate they were going to endure, and they burst into tears, screaming and shouting. ”

This is a true story recorded in the diary of a later crew member. However, Brayden's Navy was not ready to let them go. In those barbaric times, the navy of the Old Continent was pirates, and it always has been.

Fortunately, when there is despair, there are always people who are carrying the weight and bringing hope!

"Fight for freedom unto death!" The old General Gezette straightened his frail body and raised his sword, which he could no longer lift.

He turned the refugees into war.

This is the true story of the Great Expedition of the Ten Thousand Miles of Maritime Frontier.

Thankfully, they won.

Sadly, their leader, General Rudolf Gezette, was seriously wounded and could not afford to fall ill.

However, the captain of the "July Grass", Mr. Sans Planck, took over the command and led the group onwards. By January 11, they had crossed the sea of clouds and finally found a temporary anchorage in a warm archipelago, which is now New Darroshure Island.

After a difficult journey of more than a month, they lost almost half of their crew and ships, but anyway, the New World was just around the corner. They're about to land.

But at this very moment, the life of their leader, General Rudolf Gezette, was about to come to an end.

The crew arrived not in the Platinum Bay region, which was already in the hands of the Oakland Empire, but in what is now known as the Wairu Coast, in the region of Manrens. It's a vast, fertile and borderless land, thousands of kilometers from the northernmost stronghold of Platinum Bay. This means that there is no legal binding force here. This means that when they go ashore, they can do whatever they want.

More importantly, the imminent death of their leader does not mean that true freedom is at hand?

"No, it's not freedom! Freedom without restraint will lose the freedom of the soul and heart! Miss Maria Fongling, the first mate of the July Flower, said to everyone.

She is the most prestigious woman in the fleet and represents the voice of all women.

This clever and relatable woman, like the goddess Mara, earnestly convinces every suffering crew member that anarchy is deadly for everyone. Refugees have to make decisions and they have to take responsibility, otherwise they will live in a lawless world for the rest of their lives. The food they harvest today will be plundered tomorrow, and their wives and children will be oppressed at will.

"Let's sign a pact. This is our most basic law. Captain Planck said to everyone.

"I'll be the first to sign, it's the last thing I'll do for everyone."

The result was unusually ideal, and everyone signed the "July Grass Convention" and signed it voluntarily! Sign it yourself!

"Under the witness of the Holy Spirit of the Heavenly Palace, we, the signatories below, as faithful subjects of the goddesses, have set out to establish the first colony on this newly opened coast in order to open up the frontiers of civilization. We swore before the goddess and appeared to each other in solemn form, and now we have agreed to form all of us into a political society, so that we may better survive and create good order among us. In the public interest of the colonies, we shall promulgate by this covenant such laws, decrees, and orders as are to be faithfully obeyed by us, and shall appoint such administrative officers as may be necessary to which we shall obey. ”

The document was written on an ordinary piece of rattan paper, but it had a power that none of the most powerful magic scrolls had. With it, this displaced people will understand how a new kingdom can be built.

In the days that followed, no matter what difficulties they faced, everyone continued to do their best to maintain the strength of the covenant.

More importantly, as time passed, more immigrants came to the New World, and they continued to push inland, and the "July Grass Convention" was naturally but strictly observed in the vast land of the New World.

Generations of settlers have felt the security of the rule of law, the value of the protection of freedom, and the clearer understanding that they are not lambs of the transcendental, but have the right to decide their own destiny.

In retrospect, in a fundamental sense, the "July Grass Convention" has the same deep meaning as the inscription on the starry flag that stands above our head representing the 21st colony of the New World, which is supposed to be the arrival of the "July Grass".

Where:

"Send it to me,

Put those who are crowded,

People who yearn for freedom! ”
