The Guartes were not originally an inherent ethnic group of the Shining Star Empire, but in a war more than sixty years ago, the country of the Gualts was wiped out by the Shining Star Empire, and the Gualts and the places where they lived were all incorporated into the territory of the Shining Star Empire and became part of the composition of the Shining Star Empire. It is undeniable that the Guartes showed the quality of being willing to die on the battlefield rather than take a step back in the Great Patriotic War, which caused great trouble for the Shining Star Empire at that time. Later, in order to prevent this group of defeated Gualts from gathering together and finally causing trouble, a certain big man at that time thought of a trick, that is, to break up the Gualts and send them to all regions of the country.

The Guartes, who were scattered all of a sudden, would find it difficult to succeed even if they wanted to huddle. In addition, the Bright Star Empire had frequent frictions with neighboring countries on the border, and the Third World War known as the Battle of the Gin Cup broke out. Coupled with the fact that a large number of Guarte youths were recruited again in the war that ended not long ago, the Guartes have been greatly weakened.

Now that the Gualts have lost their family labor and pillars, everyone thinks that more is better than less, and gradually the Gualts have become little different from ordinary people, and even more afraid of causing trouble. In this dramatically changing society, the Gualts have become synonymous with "honest people" and "cowards".

There are almost more than 2,000 Gualt families in the city of Turner, and there are less than 300 men under the age of forty and over the age of sixteen, and the rest have become cannon fodder for the empire in the war that ended not long ago, adding a lot of bargaining chips to the balance of the war for the empire and winning a crushing victory. It is said to be a pyrrhic victory, but in fact, for the Ordins, the main race of the empire, they are not a pyrrhic victory at all, but a big victory.

They replaced the Ordins with a minority population to go to war, and successfully consumed the development potential and future of these growing minorities within the empire, not only winning the war, but also purifying the racial ratio of the population, which is simply killing two birds with one stone!

In this context, Dühring proposed the concept of a "fellow townsman's association", which was immediately echoed by many people, especially those who had just reached the age of sixteen and slightly younger. It is precisely because they feel the malice from the empire and the malice of society that these children are more eager to improve the Guarte people and their living environment through their own hands and efforts.

Not to mention that Doolin is willing to provide these children who do not have access to the upper echelons of society, a decent salary, so that they can support themselves and their families.

Looking at a group of fourteen, fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, Durin looked at Graff with an inexplicable look in his eyes, and there were three girls in this group of children. If it weren't for the expectation and vigor of the future hidden in the eyes of these children, Durin might have denied these teenagers. At this time, he himself forgot that he himself was a person of this age, not much older than others.

Durin pulled Graff into a corner, glanced back at twenty or thirty young men and three little girls, and asked in a low voice, "Are there no adults?

Graff smiled a little embarrassedly, the Imperial War Department forcibly recruited Tenel males over the age of sixteen and under forty into the army when Tenel was recruiting, except for those like him who hid in the field early when the opportunity was not good, there were no young and vigorous men. As for those who ran away, they were even more reluctant to join a fellow villager association with obvious gang intentions.

These timid and fearful people, as well as those who only wanted to live in peace, flatly rejected Graff's invitation. This made Graff feel embarrassed and hated at the same time. Usually when those people asked him for help, he never said no, and now when he fought for his rights and interests for the Gualts, he actually flinched. He didn't look like a Gualte at all, he didn't have even the slightest bit of guts and courage.

So he can only recruit these children who are dissatisfied with reality and at the same time have a lot of energy.

In the face of Graff's detailed explanations, Durin also felt speechless for a while. It's just that when the matter is coming, and Durin also needs manpower, he can only pinch his nose and admit it. Although minors lack some experience and lessons than adults, then he can only bother to educate these guys.

When the two of them returned to the crowd, many of them were visibly nervous, and their eyes remained fixed on Durin's body, eager to get an affirmative answer.

After a moment, when some people had disappointed looks in their eyes, Du Lin nodded, "Your fellow villagers will welcome you!"

Graff grabbed Durin's hand at this time, and cut open the knife mark in his palm that had only grown for two days in Durin's shock. Blood suddenly gushed out, but in the face of blood, those boys, including the girls, did not show the slightest fear, but were very excited.

Without Graff's intervention, the boys and girls lined up, took the dagger from Graff's hand, slashed their palms, and held them tightly with Durin's palm. Unlike last time, the boys and girls kissed the back of his hand.

The last etiquette was the etiquette of cooperation, the ritual of never turning their backs on friends, and this time, it is the ritual of allegiance.

In the minority religious culture of the Guartes, kissing the back of the hand is a very important ritual and ritual performed by family members to their parents, which first came from the families of Guarte nobles. During the festive season, the nobles would line up to kiss the back of the king's hand as a sign of respect and obedience to the king. This ritual has long since become a ritual in everyday life, and basically every Gualt knows some of it.

Especially the teenagers living in the city, because of the social environment, they worship and yearn for everything in the Guarte Kingdom more, remembering the past and motivating themselves.

When the last of the three girls kissed the back of Doolin's numb hand, Doolin glanced at the bloodied floor beneath his feet, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Not to mention that the palm of my hand is unconscious this time, and my arm is a little numb, will it be amputated?

Of course, even if you cry at this time, you have to laugh and cry.

He nodded vigorously with a straight face, "From today onwards, we are all a family, we share the glory regardless of each other!"

Graff's face turned a little red, and he patted his chest and roared, "Regardless of each other, share the glory!"

Looking at the hysterical screaming teenagers, Durin's heart beat slightly faster while he was surprised by the consequences of a ritual and a word. He squinted his eyes slightly, and there was a feeling of fluttering immortals!

The establishment of the Fellow Townspeople Association was nothing more than an inconspicuous drop of water falling into the lake in the city of Turnier, and it could not even have the ability to make ripples. Even if some people learned about it through certain channels, they didn't care too much.

What kind of hometown association formed by a group of half-grown children, something like play, can still have an impact on the underground world pattern that has not changed in Turner City for several years? No joke, not to mention those small gangs that can only occupy one or two streets and are not even gangs, how many of the real big gangs are easy to mess with? Not only are there more professional thugs, but there are also high-powered hand crossbows and thermal repeaters that are forbidden to civilians to have!

This is a big killer, and a thermal crossbow is enough to sweep away twenty or thirty people in one go, so everyone regards the hometown association as a children's fun.

Some people don't care about the establishment of a hometown association, but there are also people who care about the establishment of a hometown association. In Turner City, there is a big figure in high society, the vice president of the Turnier branch of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and also a Guarte - Heidler, who is very concerned about the initiation and establishment of the Fellow Townspeople's Association.

This is a legendary Gualt, and at the same time a Gualt who has been discriminated against by the Gualts.

It may be a bit of a twist to say this, but in fact, before the fall of the kingdom of Guart, there were already some Guartes who surrendered earlier and became "good citizens on the side of justice", one of whom was Heideler's father. At that time, in order to shorten the war as soon as possible and reduce the number of Ogding people who died in the war, the Bright Star Empire gave these surrendered Gualts great benefits and high treatment, hoping to "influence" the resistance of the Gualt Kingdom in this way.

It is true that these people have played a great role, but after the destruction of the Kingdom of Guart, their situation is very embarrassing. The Ogdins were reluctant to give more benefits to these good citizens, and used various excuses to take back some of their privileges. Heidler's father was also greatly affected by this, and the family was even on the verge of bankruptcy for a time. Heidler's father died suddenly of cerebral infarction, leaving the precarious family business to Heidler, who was less than 20 years old at the time.

With his superb means and personal ability, Heideler had several ups and downs, and finally established his position in the general association of the Shining Star Empire Chamber of Commerce and became a master.

It is precisely because of the ups and downs that Heideler hopes that the scattered Gualts can unite. But he couldn't do it, his status was high enough, and there were already some people who were wary of Heidler, who was one of the thirty-six members of the Chamber of Commerce, so he couldn't do it. If he does, the wolf-like guys will have an excuse and a reason to kick him out.

When he learned that a guy named Durin Kersma had formed a fellow country, he immediately began to investigate all of Durin's social information, and he wanted to meet this person.
