Chapter 287: Reward and Punishment (II)

"Could it be that there is something hidden in it? It is just that a foreigner who works as a farmer can set off such a big wave of rumors in Midtown, causing the stable ruling order to be shaken and turbulent. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Did the priest of the temple find out? Maybe this person has a hidden identity, a pawn of a foreign god to test the order of Atlas City?

"Our future hero, has Althea received divine grace? After spending so many resources, if there is no gain, don't let us continue to invest in the future, and this debt will have to be repaid. ”

"The temple guards received the monsters piled up in the mountains, according to the original prediction, Althea should have achieved something, why don't we immediately summon him over and personally show the harvest of conquering the wilderness?"

The neutral senator followed the city lord's implicit instructions and turned the conversation to Atlas City's hope, successfully attracting the attention of both moderate and hardline senators, especially since the latter poured a lot of resources into it, and it was abnormal that there was no response.

Later, the meeting was temporarily suspended, and the city lord's herald guards quickly left the venue to deliver the news to Altea's home.

Altea could not refuse the call of the patriarch, and immediately set off for the venue located on the mountainside, and from time to time acquaintances greeted him, he did not have time to pay attention to it.

The semi-circular three-story staircase was filled with noble samurai from famous families, who were qualified to sit in but had no right to speak. Seeing Althea, who was allowed to stay in the depths of the temple to practice, many of his peers had very mixed feelings.

If nothing happens, the lord's nephew will become a great hero, a great commander, and eventually the complete successor to Atlas City as the king of all - and if the reclamation plan goes smoothly, the blueprint will be carried out quickly.

"Altea, show your full strength, and let us see for ourselves what you will do after conquering the monsters of the wilderness. ”

After receiving the permission of the castle lord, the hard-line patriarch gave an order to Altea, the future hero, who had not yet fully grown up.

Originally prepared, after being ordered by the patriarch, Altea awakened the power of the wind in his body, and in an instant, his hands wrapped around the whirlwind visible to his eyes, followed by slender feet, slowly leaving the ground, suspended at knee height, and maintained for a long time.

Even the aristocratic warriors who had seen the big scene couldn't help but stand up suddenly, and the patriarchs could still calm down, looking at the city lord neatly, seeing him smile with satisfaction, and nodding slightly, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I remember that before Altea left Atlas City, only one right hand was entwined by the power of the wind, and after only a few days, all four limbs were awakened and possessed the power of the wind. ”

"The great shaker of the earth, the harnesser of the waves, the howling south wind, the great waves that rise on the calm sea, are blessed by you today, and awaken the noble blood of Altea, with the potential of heroes, and the prosperity of Atlas City will surely continue into the next century. The sea carries your generosity, and time records your kindness. ”

The city lord said the sacred prayer, and even the elders present suddenly got up, lowered their heads slightly, listened to the covenant of God and man, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Proving Altea's divine grace and strength with his own eyes, the castle lords, senators, and noble warriors no longer hesitated, and became more enthusiastic about the cause of conquering the monsters of the wilderness.

"The Tosephine River valley is full of fertile land on both sides, and if you drive out or kill monsters, you can reclaim thousands of acres of fertile land. The citizens who received the conquered land could settle at least 500 people, and together with the serfs who cultivated it, they could establish new settlements, as long as they could gain a firm foothold within the year, and expand their territory one after another, which was the national policy set when Atlas City was founded. ”

"The lives of citizens are precious, and we must drive Gentiles to shed their blood and sacrifice, and if necessary, battle slaves from the arena can also set foot on the battlefield and conquer the monsters of the wilderness. ”

"There are too many noble citizens, Gentiles and slaves who have fallen on the altar of the rise of Atlas City, and it is now their turn to sacrifice and let anyone taste the sharpness of the sword if they dare to hold back. ”

The words of the hard-line patriarch resonated with the noble samurai, and the huge hall was full of harmony, and it was obvious that this was the consensus of the citizens of Shangcheng District.

"With only ruthless punishment and no appasing reward, I am afraid that the reclamation plan will not be able to go smoothly. After all, there must be a backlash, and without the work of Gentiles and slaves, where do we get food and clothing? I'm sorry, I'm too old to bend down and work in the fields. ”

After all, in Shangcheng District, there are very few citizens who are engaged in farming, and most of them are skilled in their skills, not to mention the guards of the temple, the noble warriors from famous families, who have long been away from lowly farm work.

"An expedition of Gentiles to eradicate ten monsters in the valley of Thorséphine lost thirty men, and fifty percent of them were actually fifty percent, including those who were rescued. Altea, I would like to hear your opinion. ”

Althea withdrew the power of the wind and slowly returned to the ground, hearing the senator's inquiry, his face turned solemn: "The battle power of the Gentiles is unreliable, the general Edmer has no experience in leading troops into battle, the sage Procles can only boast, only the first warrior Anglu has performed well, and during the eradication of the wilderness monsters, there are quite a few bright spots, enough to embellish his status as an honorary citizen." ”

Altea had already thought clearly in his heart at this time, he wanted to win over this Gentile with extraordinary combat power and close to heroism, and his current gesture of goodwill would sooner or later reach the ears of the beast fighter.

"You mean to award the status of an honorary citizen? We have no expectations for the tactical command and wisdom accumulation of the Gentiles, only personal martial arts and courage, which are of little use. ”

The two hard-line patriarchs found their own amusement in Altea's words, and couldn't help but look forward to this young aristocratic warrior, the hero of the future.

Altea nodded slightly: "Yes, I personally believe that Edmer and Prokles, these two mediocre genttiles, are not eligible for honorary citizenship. Anglo performed very well, and later overtook the generals and sages to take command of the expedition, and all the members did not oppose him, and his prestige was very high. It is possible to become the face of Midtown. ”

After a slight pause, Altea slowly spoke of his countermeasures: "Therefore, to confer only the status of honorary citizen on Mr. Anglo will tear the bonds that he has just established with the Gentiles, and envy and jealousy are like a slow poison that quietly erodes the foundations of Anglo." All of this will help maintain order in Atlas City, and that's what I suggest. ”

The noble warriors present all smiled sincerely from the bottom of their hearts at Altheia's wonderful performance, after all, he was so intelligent and had a high sense of being a ruler, and he didn't look like a fool who had been cultivating in the depths of the temple for a long time.

The elders of the various factions were also very pleased, it seemed that in Althea, they saw the shadow of the current city lord Atlantis, and the people who were favored by the gods were so extraordinary that they did not even need time to accumulate and be qualified for the reclamation of the Tosephine River Valley.

The core decision-making level of Atlas City, after constantly arguing, prevaricating, and arguing for seven days and seven nights, finally gave everyone a clear answer.

In Reyes Square, in front of the marble pillar of "legislation", Lu Bin stood alone at the foot of the steps, changed into a white gauze short coat, and the red cloak went around his left shoulder, tied with a fishbone buckle, and hung on his right shoulder, which only citizens are qualified to wear.

"Honorary citizen, I'm the only one, this is to bake me on the stove. I don't have to look back to know that the Gentiles from Midtown all looked at me with traitorous eyes. They don't worry that there will be no reward for conquering the wilderness, but when the reward falls on me alone, it is not a good thing. ”

Lu Bin couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The citizens of Shangcheng District will definitely not accept it, let me, an honorary citizen, integrate into their small circle." The Gentiles in Midtown will also alienate and even ostracize me. Sandwiched between two ethnic groups, angry at both ends, the person who came up with this bad idea has a really good brain. ”

When the "Honorary Citizen" turned around, Lu Bin heard sparse applause, all from the members of the expedition, who were so small in the crowd that they were quickly drowned out by the noisy noise.

"It seems that I'm quite unpopular, it's just a rhythm that is isolated by everyone, how can I break it?"
