readx;?“ The scouts of the collector team, the day before yesterday, scouted the foggy area of the business district, and the feedback situation was very bad, it was almost completely occupied by the dragon beasts, although they entered a temporary dormancy due to lack of energy, but I have no doubt that with our current strength, once we enter it, it will definitely be a complete defeat, so for the exploration and recovery of the commercial district, the old city and the lower city, and the harbor area, it is currently impossible to do it! But the good news is that we found an undestroyed granary on the edge of the business district, and there was plenty of food in it, enough for us to survive this winter!"

"The Inquisition is the same as usual, no one will choose to commit a crime at this time, but I want to remind you that with the restoration of order, the villains hiding among the citizens will definitely not let go of this opportunity, so as long as you encounter such stubborn guys, you can notify the Inquisition!"

"The newly opened farmland behind Shangcheng is not bad, but we missed the best planting period today, so ordinary oats can't be cultivated, but I discussed with Amos, we can actually take advantage of this time to transplant some green rice and red fruits from southern Xinjiang, these two crops are very suitable for our current situation, they don't need much care, just need special fertilizers, we can harvest great yields, according to Amos's estimate, as long as the green rice can be harvested three times before March next year, we can achieve self-sufficiency." 。 Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After listening to each leader's report, Arsa's face looked a little tired, but also showed a smile, because everything is going in a good direction, after surviving the most difficult period, relying on the cooperation of the remaining mages and those recruits, they also miraculously regained the garden area, which is definitely the first big thing that the Self-Rescue Association has completed that can make all the citizens scream.

But the smile was only fleeting, and the old mage bitterly took out a document from his arms and handed it to the captain of the guard sitting next to him, who only glanced at it, and then got up from his chair excitedly,

"They! how could they do that! Isn't this just giving up on us, giving up on the Holy White Stone Fort, which is still gritting its teeth and holding on?"

The document was passed down until it was returned to Arta, and the anger in the hearts of all those present had reached a limit.

"The mages... This is St. Whitestone Fort, the birthplace of the White Rock Society! How can they give up here! and let us keep going! Fuck! These bastards!"

"Didn't you say that the battle in Pakan was urgent, and the mage also said that as soon as that side is over, he will rush back to support us immediately, I see..."

"Don't lie to yourself, old Angus, I know you've been waiting for the mages to come back, but look at it! This is a document with the seal of the Council of Elders! Don't dream anymore! We've been abandoned, we've been abandoned!"

"But... But we, and the drakes, no one knows when they will wake up again and attack us like crazy, if there is no mage..."

"But now we don't have the help of the mage, don't we also grit our teeth and persevere? Cut! They give up, Lao Tzu is not willing to give up! My brothers under the fortress will not give up, Lao Tzu is here, not going anywhere!"

"Yes, the fortress is right! We have been holding out for almost two months, I believe that we can live forever, we will recover the entire Holy White Stone Fort, and finally drive those dragon beasts into the sea! I believe we can do it!"

"President, we know that you and Executive Officer Fei are both members of the seven-member council of the White Stone Society, but we also know that you are different from those cowardly cowards, everyone is not trying to force you, but your companions have given up on you, so you will also leave the White Stone Society, and we will serve you as the lord of the city! No, the king! We will build our own country! We have all seen your talents, if these 200,000 people left you, I am afraid that they would have been captured and eaten by the dragon beast long ago!"

"Yes, President, please don't give up on us!"

"President, we are willing to follow you!

Just in the middle of the conversation, Arsa knelt down in front of them, and the Arcanist could feel the anger in the hearts of these people and the grievances after being abandoned, he could also feel their loss and confusion, and even more so the sincerity with which they said they were willing to send him and Fihrin to the throne, but this was not what he wanted.

In the face of the real disaster, the thousands of years of accumulation left by the White Stone Society were torn apart by a light document! And judging from the current situation, this document will not bring the slightest benefit to the White Stone Society except for causing trouble.

"The Sage... What the hell are you thinking?"

Arsa wailed in his heart, touched the golden bracelet on his wrist again, and finally all the unwillingness and regret in his heart turned into a soft sigh,

"Filin and I won't leave, this is our cemetery, or the starting point of our real independence! Get up, guys, we don't need nobles, we don't need kings, just like before, help yourself... Forget it, that's the name, from today onwards, the Self-Salvation Society will really take full charge of everything in the Holy White Stone Castle, deputies, don't let down the power in your hands!"

Arsa's words landed, and all the people who knelt on the ground and bowed were stunned in place.

Astound... Shocked.

Although it is said that the Council of the Nine Towers, which died out two years ago, almost monopolized the enchantment industry in the middle of the entire continent by force, making it gather a large amount of wealth, and established a special kingdom across the gray and white plains and three principalities, but those mages also want to save face, so they still call it "Council" to the outside world.

But now, at the suggestion of Artsa, they really want to administer a land no less than a small principality in a parliamentary system... Although less than a tenth of this land is currently in their hands.

But this is nothing, just look at these people, the captains of the guards, the merchants, the mercenaries, and the farmers, when in the history of the El awakening the fire of civilization, these people have ever ascended to the position of the lord of a country? Although this power is to be shared with the council, nominally, a few people present, plus a joint council of no more than 7 people, have actually become the owners of power.

How can this not terrify these people, not shock these people?

"Why, do you think you can't manage these affairs, or do you forget how to eat without the king?"

Arsa's cold words reached the ears of several people present, and immediately made them return to reality from a state of shock, and finally it was the merchant who was bold, he stepped forward, made a noble etiquette, and said in a trembling voice,

"On behalf of the Fort St. Whitestone Business Association, I will certainly live up to this power in my hands!" )
