Chapter 199: Dead Heart
In the harbor, the nobles of the kingdom and their servants leisurely sang and danced on the seaboats, living a life of drunken dreams and death; Outside the harbor, countless civilians who had fled to Stormwind City with a glimmer of hope due to the orc invasion waited anxiously, hoping that their families would have a chance to get on the ship.
The nobles looked down on the commoners, and they were not willing to let these inferior people, who were filthy and lowly in their eyes, have the opportunity to get on their own ships, even if Berval and Anduin gave strict orders, they still went their own way, and they talked nicely, but did not show anything in action.
The owners of the merchant ships, the merchants who were also regarded as inferior in the eyes of the nobility, had their ships open to the commoners, except that the commoners who were accepted into the merchant ships were either wealthy or handsome men and women, the former had to pay a sum of money enough to bankrupt them, and the latter had to sign a deed of sale and be reduced from freemen to slavery.
The indifference and contempt of the aristocracy and the mercenary motives of the merchants are vividly displayed at this moment.
Marcus cursed indignantly: "There is no reason for such a kingdom not to die. ”
Marcus, who was born as a commoner, can't look down on this kind of aristocratic master's style, everyone is two shoulders against one head, aren't you just destined to have a bullish ancestor, and I haven't seen you better than others.
Next to Marcus is his friend Reginald, although the latter is from a noble background, but when Reginald grew up, due to his family's downfall, his living environment was not much better than Marcus, and he also hated the aristocratic lord's style.
"But what can we do?"
Reginald asked.
Marcus was silent.
The orcs were just outside the city, and the red dragon was hovering overhead, and if it weren't for the few griffin knights in Stormwind who were entangled in the red dragon, Stormwind would have been broken long ago. In normal times, Marcus would definitely make a fuss and seek justice for the civilians who came with expectations, but the situation in Stormwind City made him afraid to do so. It is easy to cause internal instability when there is a foreign tiger's eye, and it may give the orcs the opportunity to seize it, and after Stormwind City is breached, it is not necessary to kill all the humans in the city with the orc's style.
There is no place to seek justice, and they have to think of ways to maintain order in the city, and Marcus and Reginald are very aggrieved.
Marcus pulled Reginade: "Go to Bolval and see what he has to say." ”
What can Bolval say?
As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, if a few nobles do this, Bolval will use their blood to establish their authority, but now it is not a few nobles who dominate the sea ships, but more than ninety percent of the nobles in the kingdom have done so, and Bolval's board cannot be beaten.
Basically, the nobles of the kingdom are involved in this matter, let alone me, even if the Rhine is resurrected, they will not be able to fight against them.
Boval knew that if he continued like this, he would definitely get a big deal, but what could he do, he couldn't put him on the opposite side of the other nobles of the kingdom. You must know that he is also a nobleman, and many of those nobles who refuse to accept commoners are related to him, and even his family is involved.
"I will persuade them again, you should first maintain order in the city."
In the end, Bolval could only reply to them in a helpless tone.
Again, this kind of prevarication.
Marcus's lungs were about to explode, and if Reginald hadn't dragged him away, he would have quarreled with Bolval. It's really troublesome that Marcus is guilty of the following, and he definitely doesn't have good fruit to eat.
Shaking off Reginald's hand and breaking free from his friend's pull, Marcus pulled out his saber and said hatefully: "See, Old Wen, this is the noble lord." Usually he is a powerful man, but when he has trouble, he only cares about himself, such a person, such a kingdom, what is worthy of our service? ”
Because of his background, Reginald has always wanted to restore the glory of the family, and to this day, what happened in Stormwind City made him ask himself: Is it really that important to restore the glory of the family, be accepted by the noble class, and become a member of the ruling class of the kingdom? Look at those selfish guys on the ship, their faces are so ugly, they want to kill them all with a sword, what qualifications do they have to be on a par with themselves, and they are really willing to be a part of them?
No!
Reginald shook his head vigorously.
Never!
Turning his head to look at Marcus, Reginald looked serious: "The Storm Kingdom can't be counted on, we can only use other methods." ”
Marcus raised an eyebrow, and from Reginald's words, he could tell that his friend had given up on becoming a nobleman again.
"It's best if you think like this, what's so good about being a nobleman, do you still want to follow their example to oppress the commoners? If you want to do that, I will lead someone to cut you down before the adults clean you up. ”
Reginald rolled his eyes in anger, Marcus was a fool, and he couldn't get angry with him.
"Now is not the time to think about this, the orcs could attack at any time, and we have to find a way for the people in the city."
Letting go of the obsession in his heart, Reginald only felt that the whole person was relaxed. Of course, it would be better if we could solve the crisis that Stormwind is facing right now.
Compared to him, Marcus seemed heartless: "What can I do?" Anyway, you and I can't solve it. ”
Yes, Reginald and Marcus couldn't move the people of Stormwind who had fled from all over the kingdom, but they believed that such a trivial matter would not be difficult for them.
As long as Ainand-sama makes a move, this matter can definitely be easily solved.
The question is whether Ainan will make a move?
"If you were to count on him, I think you would be disappointed."
A voice came from one side, and Marcus and Reginald followed the voice, and Egwen's figure gradually appeared.
It's not Ainan who comes, it's Egwen, is there a difference?
It makes no difference.
At least in the eyes of Marcus and Reginald.
Egwene and Ainan are both magic gods who stand at the pinnacle of human power, and they have terrifying strength that can fight with gods, and other magicians may be at a loss for so many civilians in Stormwind City, but Egwene and Ainan definitely won't.
Teleported from Karazhan to Stormwind, Egwene is here to solve this problem. The female mage's way of doing things was very direct, she didn't talk to Marcus and the two politely, and directly ordered: "Let your people bring the civilians in the city to the square in batches, and I will set up a teleportation array there." Keep in mind that there can't be more than a thousand people per batch, otherwise the teleportation array won't be able to teleport them to a safe enough distance. ”
If Ainan can't make a move, only Egwen can do it.
Just, will things go that smoothly?
