Cobb? Luya was lucky to survive.

The Atago, which surrounds Ferndingen, bends a gentle bend in the wilderness, and the current becomes gentle in the part of the bend. Thanks to this, Kaber? Lua relied on her half-swimming skills and struggled to dive underwater for a while before resurfacing farther away. He could hear the annoyed roars of the two policemen, but he didn't stop or hesitate, and swam directly downstream in the direction of the river.

Since Rand Jrand wants to kill him, he must let himself live. Only by surviving can you find a chance for revenge.

Cobb? Luya landed on the edge of a river beach two kilometers away from where he dived, and it was only then that he realized that half of his right ear had been knocked out at some point. Because of the wash-out of the water, his remaining right ear was soaked white and a little woody, and surprisingly there was not much pain. It took him a moment to make his way, and when he realized that he was outside the city on the south side of Ferndingen, he borrowed clothes from the tenant farmers who lived outside the city, broke off the handcuffs, and trudged to the plain to the west of the city.

Two weeks in prison, Kaber? Luya didn't know what was going on in the factory now, and he planned to go to his distant uncle who lived outside the city to rest and recuperate, and take the news from the city with him. If there's a chance, or if Rand Jrand thinks they're dead, it's his Karb? It's time for Luya to take revenge, he must make little Rand ruined!

Cassie, a worker at the Rand Machinery company's plant in Ferndingen? Lonergan didn't know that his union secretary, Luya, was still alive. Message from the police station, transporting Kaber? Lua and Patrick? Gahan's carriage was attacked by thugs on the road, and the policeman in charge of transporting the two workers was wounded. Gahan was shot and died, Kabo? Luya's whereabouts are unknown. When you first heard the news, Cassie? Lonergan immediately had some doubts about the truth of the matter, although he did not have any evidence, but he always felt that it was a conspiracy of the RAND Corporation. But at that time, he and his workers were busy dealing with the suddenly declared invalid contract of the RAND Machinery Company and the factory that suddenly stopped working.

This move by RAND Machinery was not very pleasant for the workers at the Verndingen plant. Work at the Verndingen factory, which is the only source of income for a large proportion of these workers, is now closed and wages are stopped, leaving many families in the dilemma of not being able to catch a meal. In such a situation, is it Cassie to get the Verdingen plant back to work, or to find new and stable jobs for the workers? Lonergan's top priority.

"How about we continue the strike?"

In Cassie? In Lonergan's cramped dormitory, several newly elected workers' representatives gather to try to find a way to counter the RAND Corporation.

"Strike? They have stopped working, how can we strike? That's definitely not going to work. We want to make trouble, but we can't give the other party too obvious a handle, if they catch the handle, it is estimated that they will be caught in the police station again, and then a mob attack, what will we do then? ”

"How can you not give a handle to make trouble? Now they don't let people live, and we don't let them live! ”

"Then we have to find a way, we are now more than 1,000 people, some of them have gone to the dock to work as porters, although it is hard, but we can have a full stomach, we will definitely not be able to go on like this, we will die if we have no money to eat."

"No, they're not going to stop working forever!" Kathy? Lonergan listened for a while and put forward his own opinion, "Our Verndyndinen factory is the largest factory of the RAND Corporation, and even if they want to give orders to the other two factories, those two factories are estimated to be unable to finish. And the steam engine forging and shaping is not just a matter of catching someone on the street. We are starving, but their lives are not easy, and this time is longer than anyone else! ”

"Is that so wasted? The food at home can only last for two days. ”

"yes? If it goes on like this, we can't fight them. Little Rand is a big nobleman, and he has a company at home, so they can't starve to death! ”

Kathy? Lonergan wanted to say something, but he heard from the workers outside the door, that little Rand's lackey, the new tall overseer of the factory, Lewis? Ness is coming. Cassie and his co-workers came out of the dorm room just in time to see Lewis? Ness took the tin horn and started shouting.

"Brothers workers in Ferndingen! Mr. Rand Jr. has asked me to visit you! During this time, the factory was shut down, and I heard that some workers had no food to eat and had to go to the dock to carry sacks! It's not a good day, isn't it? ”

The workers were silent, and no one paid any attention to him. They looked at Lewis with cold eyes, waiting for his next words.

"Mr. Rand Jr. let me remind you that you live in a factory house now! If this work stops again, the company will not let you lazy people who don't work and only go on strike keep occupying the dormitory! Mr. Rand Jr. gives you two weeks, and within two weeks, you only need to sign a pledge that you will not join the workers' movement in the future, and we will allow you to work and pay you your wages according to the treatment you had before the strike! But! If you don't sign a contract, or if you don't have enough people to get the factory running, then we're sorry, we'll take back the dormitories then! To the new workers! Do you understand?! ”

These deprived capitalists!

Kathy? When Lonagan heard this, he was angry, these dormitories were obviously where they had been living all along, so why should they give them to others? The company uses workers as livestock every day, and now they don't even give them a place to live? And is there no humanity?

He raised his arms and was just about to shout when he heard a strange and familiar voice behind him.

"We earned the money you paid for the dormitory! We also earn the money for your food and big house! Now you will drive us out of the fruits of our own labor, and first spit out the money you have earned from us! If you can't spit it out,! Who dares to take our house, let them come and see if they can get out of the gate of this factory!! ”

Cassie looked back slowly in surprise, he heard the identity of the owner of the voice in his voice, but he didn't know whether to believe it or not. Behind him, Kaber with half a missing right ear? Luya stood on a crate with one in his hand and overseer Lewis? Ness's trumpet, raising his fist in anger. The workers standing around Cassie looked at the sudden appearance of Kaber? Luya, quiet for a few seconds, erupted in the strongest cheers. Overseer Lewis saw that the situation was not good, and turned away from the crowd. Cassie's gaze lingered on the overseer for a moment, then at Kaber, who had already been lifted up by the workers. Lua. That's their backbone, that's their union secretary, that's the key person who can win the war with the RAND Corporation.

"You...... It's finally back!!! ”

Cassie yelled and rushed into the crowd, taking Caber? Lua tossed high, then again. Although there is no work, although there is a lack of food, but at this moment, all the workers are cheering, just like Kaber? The appearance of Lua is itself the solution and the answer to the problem.

————————

Getting rid of the overseer was not a victory at all, and the two-week deadline proposed by the RAND Corporation was quietly slipping away. Cobb? Luya and the workers presented themselves and made it clear that the two policemen had killed Patrick? Gahan, who also tried to kill him. The workers were so excited that they copied the guy and went to the police station again, but the old police chief Liam? McDwalker didn't admit that these two people existed at all! He also called two strangers, saying that these two strangers were the ones who were escorting Karber at that time? Police in Lua. Cobb? Luya had no evidence, and the police station resolutely refused to admit that there was a murder of the criminal, and the workers besieged the police station for half a day, but did not force anything out, and returned to the factory in despair.

"Secretary, we believe in you, but what now? The police station does not admit that the RAND Corporation will drive us away in eight days, is it really to sign a new contract with them and live a life that is inferior to the original pigs and dogs? ”

Cassie with Caber? Next to Luya, chatting about today's events. In their room, several workers sat in twos and threes, working together to make suggestions.

"It's me who is a little hasty, it's really difficult to do without evidence in hand, and the police department and the Rand family are probably complicit. I originally wanted to ask the workers to help me force the murderer out, but looking at today's situation, the police station probably didn't admit it, and they had guns in their hands, so I was afraid that the workers would be in danger. ”

"But the secretary, Patrick? Secretary Gahan is dead! ”

"No way, I hate Rand too, but we have to be careful, be cautious. It would be unwise to directly engage in a confrontation with the police department, and we should start from a higher level. "In the process of recuperating from her injuries in the past few days, Luya has already thought about things almost as well. He rubbed his hands together and came up with his thoughts, "I've already thought of it!" Let's go to the parade! Go to the front of parliament for a parade! Go to the Mage's Tower Parade! Even if the council doesn't care, Archmage Toby? Dougall won't leave it alone! ”

"That's right! I didn't think of that! Only remember the strike, but forget about the march! ”

"Yes, when the First Republic was established, didn't the bourgeoisie also launch a city-wide march? Didn't the emperor who was forced to compromise and abdicate in the end? As long as we mobilize and unite, we will definitely be able to make the Grand Magister Toby? Lord Duggal hears us! ”

Workers for Kaber? Luya's new way of fighting was well recognized, and the discussion became lively. Cobb? Lu Ya looked at his comrades with satisfaction, lowered his voice and arranged the follow-up work. They're going to preemptively strike this time and spread things out on the table to cause the Grand Magister Toby? Dugall's attention, when the time comes, he will see little Rand, what else to say!

————————

Completing the preparation of the parade did not take much time, in Kaber? On the fourth day of Luya's return to the factory, the workers took banners and slogans, put on blue overalls, lined up neatly, and walked out of the factory gates. That tall overseer Lewis who threatened to kick them out? Ness stood in the doorway, dumbfounded, Kaber? Luya just pushed him aside with a gentle push of his hand.

Kathy? Lonergan and Kaber? Luya walked together, with uncontrollable excitement and anticipation on her face. It was his first march and the first time the workers of the Verndingen factory had taken part in the march, holding slogans and trumpets and flags in their hands. Luya's request went all the way in silence. Pedestrians and carriages on the road gave way one after another, looking at them from a distance with surprise. Cassie, who was at the front, enjoyed the gaze, and he felt the power of the collective, and he felt his presence. His gaze shifted from passers-by to the towering Scepter Mage Tower in the distance. He believed that in the Great Council, or outside the tall mage tower, their questions would be answered.

But how things are going and Cassie? Lonergan thought differently. After nearly an hour of marching, their procession came to the National Square of the Grand Council, where rows of policemen were already ready to go, batons in their hands, and watched them enter the square with some nervousness. The idlers and people who followed them along the way subconsciously stopped, stood far away, and waited to see what would happen next.

"Raise the flag! Shout at me!!! ”

Cobb? Luya's voice trembled slightly, but the workers around him calmed down when they heard it. At the request of the trade union secretary, they raised the banner in their hands and shouted slogans.

"The Rand family! Murder with intent on purpose! Find out the murderer! Punish the criminals! ”

At first, people's voices were a little shaky and chaotic, but they soon found a unified pace. The voices of more than a thousand workers converged in the National Square to form a huge wave of sound. The faces of the policemen standing in front of them turned pale, while the workers standing in the line felt their strength.

Yes, this is the power of our working class!

Kathy? Lonergan was secretly excited in his heart, and the slogans on his lips became louder and louder. As the marching troops advanced, his first platoon got closer and closer to the police. He could already see the frightened and nervous expressions of the policemen, and he could also see the mottled marks on the batons.

"Brothers! Get ready!!!! ”

"Good !!!"

Follow Kaber? Lua's request, in order to avoid misunderstanding among city and council officials, did not carry weapons and did not carry tools that could be used as weapons. They just roared, clasped their hands over their shoulders to their chests, and used their bodies and enthusiasm to fight the indifferent cops and batons.

"You can't go any further!! The Grand Council is not allowed to enter without permission!! ”

Someone in the police shouted with a bullhorn, Kaber? Lua and Cassie? Lonergan stopped less than twenty centimeters from the wall of police officers. Both sides could even feel each other's breathing as they became nervous. And at such a distance, Kaber? Luya raised his arms and fists again and shouted slogans in a louder voice!

Kathy? Lonergan and Kaber? Luya kept the same movements, the shouts pouring out of his chest shook the air, and the expressions of the officers in front of him. He could see the fear on the faces of the policemen, like the morning glow dissipating the darkness.

Look, this is the power of our workers!
