Chapter 80: The Return
"They've made itββ?" Upon hearing the news that Gezio had returned with the entire team, Mimiros's emotions were quite mixed, with a little bit of consternation, some worries, and of course, a sense of relief when they returned alive. But what made him feel uneasy was that in this complex emotion, he couldn't help but mix with a trace of joy after success.
Before he could digest such complex emotions, a voice came from outside the door, "Your Excellency, it seems that many people have received the news of the return of the Gazio team, and they are now gathering in the direction of the port one after another. β
With a long sigh, Mimiroth ordered: "Gather the guards, let's go to the port." β
By the time Mimiros had led the men to the port, Gheziol had already completed the port procedure before them, and now he was standing at the exit of the port with a few men, preaching his point to the crowd gathered around him. Mimiros noticed that the vast majority of those gathered around them were young men.
"In ancient times, Sagincha completely destroyed our homeland, forcing us to hide in this 'Jedi of Life'. Now they are bullying again, you say, should we avenge ourselves and our ancestors?! Gazio shouted hoarsely.
"Revenge! Revenge! The young man next to him chimed in.
"However, their combat power is so strong that even our ancestors are powerless to resist, so where do we have the strength to take revenge on them?" Suddenly, a discordant voice came from the crowd. I have to say that in the crazy crowd, there are still a few people who keep their sanity after all.
However, what the speaker did not expect was that his seemingly rational speech was greeted by ridicule and abuse from the people around him.
"Coward, get out of here, don't stand with us." "How can this person be like this, raise the morale of others and destroy his own prestige." It's not light, but even more straightforward: "You're a spy sent to us by Sagincha, right?" Why else would you speak for them? β
"Calm down, everyone, calm down." Gziol had to try to calm the crowd first, and when everyone present had quieted down, he said to the source of the objection: "I am not a person who does not listen to objections, but I must pay attention to evidence in everything. Since you say that Sagincha's combat power is strong, then come up with actual evidence. But don't talk about the information that has been handed down from our ancestors, and none of us here know about it. Here, we will not discuss the reasons why our ancestors were defeated at the hands of Sagincha, perhaps they were indeed much stronger than our ancestors back then. But what I do know is that the opponent's combat effectiveness is probably not very good now, because just now, I took these players around me to sneak attack Sakincha's team, and came back smoothly. Moreover, during the entire attack, the other side did not organize any decent defense at all, and it can be said that it was almost run over by us. After a pause, he added, "Well, now it's up to you whether you choose to believe the Ancestors or me." β
After Gezio finished speaking, the crowd immediately discussed, "That is, the facts are in front of us, why don't we believe it." "So much time has passed since the time of the ancestors, and the ancestors' views on Sakincha may have been correct back then, but I am afraid that they are not applicable now, and it is better to believe in Gziol's personal experience." "yes, yes, I don't think anyone has raised any objections now." While everyone was talking, the crowd was divided into a way, and Mimiros followed the separated path to Gezio.
During the time that Mimiros walked in front of Gziol, everyone present fell silent and focused their eyes on Mimiros. However, Mimiros, who was walking, did not care about anyone around him, but kept his eyes on Gziol. As for Gziol in Mimiros's eyes at this time, he not only did not wonder why Mimiros appeared here, but even looked at his father not to be outdone.
Standing in front of Gzior, Mimiros gave him a deep look, and then slowly ordered, "Arrest them all." β
"Why?" Although there were many things in his heart that he wanted to say to Mimiros, after the silence, all that came out of Gzior's mouth were these three words.
His words were like a fuse, and the crowd exploded as soon as he finished speaking, "Yes, executive, why did you arrest them?" "Didn't they just beat Sakincha? Executive, why don't you reward them, but punish them. "Today, the executive, you have to give a proper reason, otherwise we won't let you take them." Fortunately, after all, everyone did not do anything drastic.
"What are you waiting for! Arrest them all! Seeing that the guards standing behind him were a little overwhelmed by the words of the crowd around him, Mimiros repeated the order in a stern tone. The guards, who had been given clear instructions again, did not hesitate again, but proceeded with the arrest on the orders of Mimiros.
"Are you not convinced?" Seeing the unconvinced look on Gezio's face after being obediently arrested, and the behavior of the crowd around him, Mimiros knew that he might not be able to leave this place without a clear explanation, so he asked, "Do you think that you should be rewarded for defeating Sargincha?" Gziol did not answer Mimiros's question, but the expression on his face spoke for itself.
Mimiros, who didn't get an answer, didn't care, and he asked softly, "Remember the ban issued earlier?" Do you need me to repeat it for you? β
"Huh-" Stunned slightly, Gazio pursed his lips. Originally, he still didn't want to answer, but this time Mimiros didn't intend to let him go, but stared into his eyes tightly. Under Mimiros's gaze, he hesitated for a moment before replying in a disapproving tone: "No one is allowed to go to the shallow sea within five hundred geda of the sea until the ban is lifted. β
"Yes, it seems that I remember the content of the ban, and I don't need to repeat it." Mimiros said angrily. In order to make the people around him hear clearly, his voice was much louder, and at the same time became stern, "Since you still remember, you can't understand the meaning?" Do you need me to explain it to you in detail......? β
