Old Kingdom, the city of Gasili.

The city has been attacked by the Empire, captured by the Holy Dynasty several times, enslaved by the Holy Dragon Nation of the Wurm, and finally taken over by the Jialan Empire, and war is almost the theme of the city.

The people of this city cherish their hard-won peace.

Therefore, the city of Gasiri is the city that hates war the most, and the city that opposes it the most, and it is also the city that is regarded as a holy place by speculators. In this city, there are more than 1,000 large and small anti-war organizations, many tens of thousands, and as few as more than 1,000 people.

Maurice Vassi was one of many opportunists and the leader of an anti-war group of thousands.

His predecessor was a member of the slums of the city of Gasili.

However, when the Jialan Empire announced that it was preparing to wage war against the Duchy of Baya, it was keenly aware of the "business opportunities" involved.

If he does it properly, he may be able to get rid of this kind of life and truly become a human being.

But at first, he was a little timid.

Because the king of this country is so terrible, the butcher and the executioner are no longer enough to describe the horror of that king, and it is too conservative to say that he is a demon, and only the cold and cruel god of death can describe that king.

What he had to do now was to stand on the opposite side of death.

Just thinking about this kind of thing was enough to frighten him.

But in times of fear, he found out that there was already the first person to eat crabs. The first person to eat crabs always gets the most benefits, deceived tens of thousands of people, and pulled up such an organization, which has already made him a lot of money.

At this time, Morris began to get anxious.

He couldn't care about anything to be the enemy of death anymore, for fear that he wouldn't even be able to drink the soup if he was too late. So he didn't know where to get a decent set of clothes, and then pretended to be a 'righteous man', established an anti-war organization, and constantly recruited members to protest against the war.

As of now.

He has found all kinds of excuses, and has looted more than 50,000 gold coins from the members of the organization, and at the same time, he has used this force to threaten rich businessmen to collect protection money, bully men and women, and kill people and set fires.

"Guys, are you ready?"

Standing on the high platform, Morris looked at the excited crowd below.

Today is the fifteenth meeting.

The purpose of this rally is to resist the unscrupulous rich businessmen who support the war!

How dare those unkind and stupid merchants who are so unforgiving and stupid as to support the king's war that this matter cannot be tolerated by him, a staunch supporter of 'peace', and must be resisted!

As for the method of resistance.

Murder is a crime, then burn it all and rob it all.

This was the general content of his passionate speech to the members of the organization a few days ago, which caused a strong reaction at the time, and he collected more than 1,000 gold coins for the 'preparation expenses' of the upper and lower points, and then only gathered the members again to prepare for the action today.

Of course, this is just a rhetoric.

As for the truth of the matter?

Of course, the truth of the matter is not so high-sounding, go to his fight for peace! Go to his fight for justice! Whether war breaks out or not, what does it have to do with other people's lives or deaths. The truth of the matter is that if this rich businessman dares not to pay protection money to him, a 'peaceful man', then of course he wants to eradicate this supporter of 'war'.

"I know you can't wait. ”

Without waiting for the people below to answer, Morris pointed in the direction of the rich merchant's mansion: "Go, in order to defend the hard-won peace!"

If put in the usual.

At this time, the angry pigs below had already rushed out with a roar.

But today was a little different, and to Morris's surprise, the people below were motionless and lost their former vitality.

Morris's heart jumped for no reason.

At this time, the first civilian stood up: "Lord Morris, I'm sorry that we don't want to oppose the war anymore, but I am here today to thank you for your care for so many days, and to say goodbye to you. ”

"Y-you?"

Morris's face was a little ugly: "Have you not tasted enough of the pain of war? As long as we collectively oppose war, even the king will not dare to stand against us." ”

"Please trust me. ”

"Peace will prevail! Justice will prevail!"

In the end, Morris didn't forget to shout a few slogans that had made them excited, but unfortunately this time it didn't work, and one of the older civilians stood up: "Morris, stop it, aren't you a citizen of the Jialan Empire?!"

He pointed at Morris and scolded: "We are civilians of the Jialan Empire, now that our dignity has been trampled on, we must defend it with war, this is our only way, the facts have proven to us that peace cannot protect our dignity!"

"War! There must be war!"

"That's right, let the Baya people know what the Jialan Empire means on this continent!"

"We are the most powerful country on the mainland, a small western country, why should we trample on our sovereignty and occupy our territory?"

“......”

In each of their eyes, there was a flicker of incomparable fanaticism.

This scene seemed all too familiar to Morris, just as these people could kill people and set fires against the powerful for the sake of peace, and now these people have become complete believers in war.

Morris felt a chill all over his body.

The king of the country...... He is the leader of the cult at all!

Run, must run!

If he wants to escape from this country, the devil will not let them go.

Morris tried to abscond overnight, but he found that the city of Gasiri had been blocked, and now he was not allowed to enter or leave, and as an ordinary person, he could not escape. That demon's minions will one day find him......

It's been less than two days.

Morris was arrested and executed two days later.

His former supporters, now shouting about the traitor to the country, the shame of Jialan, he still can't understand why things have turned to this point in just a few days.

What Morris didn't know was.

Born to be human.

The most important thing is life, money and dignity.

Most people regard life as the most important, and some people like money more than life and dignity, but this is not a single choice question, if conditions permit, most people are willing to earn money with dignity and live comfortably.

And now.

With neither life nor money at stake, the Duchy of Baya insulted their camp, the 'Jialan Empire'.

That's right.

The old faith has been shattered, and although they are no longer willing to recognize the government of the Jialan Empire, they have actually branded themselves as the Jialan Empire deep down.

When the Principality of Baya ignored the warnings of the Jialan Empire, and even insulted their king, trampled on the territorial sovereignty of the Jialan Empire, and took the land that should have belonged to the Jialan Empire without authorization, the civilians of the entire East were completely on the same front.

They can fight to the death.

But this definitely does not mean that outsiders can bully them.

Vega knows one thing very well, the way to unite a group of people is never to be a wise king, but a common enemy.

Only a common enemy can keep everyone on the same page. At that time, even if he is unpopular, he can bring the whole country together in a short time, which is why in history, even if the king of the country is mediocre, when a foreign enemy invades, once the king wants to start a war, they will support it.

So Vega found such an enemy for the whole country.

In addition, the Principality of Baya is at fault first, and he is famous, who will oppose this matter?

When Vega announced this incident with the Principality of Baya, in just five days, the atmosphere of the whole country naturally changed from top to bottom.

It's a battle for dignity.

Those who stop the war are tantamount to trampling on their dignity, so those who stir up trouble become the enemies of the whole people.
