Chapter 271: Killing the Nobles
In the center of Athens, the hill-like acropolis rises.
Under the hill wall on the east side of the Acropolis, a huge stone-paved plaza lies horizontally, surrounded on three sides by dwellings.
The huge stage was built against the mountain wall, and many people stood in the square, looking up at the stage.
The sky was dark, and the curtain opened.
"Wow......"
There were exclamations everywhere around the main square.
In the middle of the stage, the blue sky and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, and verdant farmland are neatly spread on it.
In the vicinity, five teenagers were standing or sitting in the middle of the field.
In the distance, farmers ploughed the land with cattle and horses, sweating like rain.
The natural light fell on the stage, where it seemed to be daytime.
"It's a magic illusion, it's amazing......"
"Why don't they wear masks? Is this the new style of drama? β
"There were five of them."
Five teenagers in tattered clothes held farm tools, some gently shaking their arms, some patting their lower backs, and some twisting their necks.
Under their noses, they wear magic mustaches.
The tallest of them stepped forward and said to the other four, "If any of us are rich in the future, don't forget these friends." β
"Haha, Zachray, don't be funny, we are all civilians, how can we be rich?"
"Yes, you like to daydream and talk nonsense."
The four of them laughed at Zachary together.
Zachary shook his head, facing the audience, looking high up at the sky.
"How can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan!" Zachary cut the railroad.
Their conversation was clear throughout the square and beyond.
The four children began to laugh at Zachary again.
Suddenly, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove into the stage, and a middle-aged man and a teenager walked out, richly dressed and wearing the same magic beard, followed by two guards.
"Father, is this our Greyriver territory? It's so beautiful, I'm going to stay here forever in the future. β
"Only the paupers and exiled waste aristocrats will live here, Andre, tell me, you don't want to live here."
"Well, father, I don't want to live here."
The nobles on the roof instinctively looked at Andre, but Andre looked calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
The nobles nodded slightly, secretly praising Andre for holding his breath.
"Father, their clothes are so torn, who are they?" Young Andre asked loudly.
"They're not people." The middle-aged man said.
"Huh? So what are they? β
"In Grey River Town, there are only brutes, and their difference is four-legged or two-legged."
"Huh? Can I also ride a two-legged brute? β
"Turn a two-legged beast into a four-legged beast, and you'll be able to ride. In the name of the Lord of Grey River, go and capture the tallest boy and let Andre ride it. β
So, two guards rushed over and forced the young Zachre to kneel on the ground, and the young Andre rode up.
"Drive!"
The young Andre pulled Zachre's hair in his left hand, and his right arm swayed in mid-air, full of interest.
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
"Drive!"
In the excited voice of the teenager Andre, Zachary knelt on the ground and crawled slowly.
The curtain slowly falls, and the prologue ends.
A depressing atmosphere spreads at the scene.
At this time, the voiceover sounds.
"Twenty years later, the adult Andre was exiled to the town of Grey River by his family because of his crimes......"
Many of the nobles turned their heads to look at Andrew.
Andre noticed everyone's gaze, smiled slightly, and said: "I just said that drama is drama, reality is reality, nothing more than the same name." β
Everyone nodded, admiring Andre's composure more and more.
After a short time, the prologue slowly rose.
The scene of the stage changed from a field to a richly decorated aristocratic hall.
The young AndrΓ© lay in the middle of the hall, drunk wine like blood in the service of two maids.
"Young Master Andrea, it's not good, those civilians are shouting for justice outside......"
Next, the audience watched the first act seriously.
In the first act, the civilians ask Andre for justice because of the poor harvest in Grey River, but Andre sends men to kill several civilians and hang their bodies outside the hall.
Then, Zachary, the Black Iron Warrior, appears and argues with Andre.
In the hall, the two men argued violently, and Zachary left Andre speechless, causing the audience to applaud.
At the end, Andrei suddenly recognizes Zachre, insults him as a two-legged brute, and then asks the guards to wound Zachary.
Zachary vomited blood and fled, followed by Andrew's bodyguards, and the curtain slowly fell.
The audience at the scene had never seen a drama with such a good background layout, nor had they seen such a life-like and real model, and their emotions were fully mobilized, either insulting Andre or worrying that Zachary would escape.
The theater masters at the front of the stage lowered their voices to discuss.
In a short time, the second act begins.
The background is not a field, not a noble hall, but a wasteland.
At first, Zachary led the inhabitants of Greyriver to flee and cultivate the land.
However, the nightmare came, and the nobles of the city of Athens, under the banner of exterminating the bandits, hunted the exiles led by Zachary like animals.
No matter what these outcasts explained, the nobles did not listen and continued to hunt with cruel means.
In this episode, many audience members couldn't hold back anymore and cursed, almost causing the performance to be interrupted.
Zachary was on the run with the homeless.
Once again, escaped from the hunting party of the nobles, and the ranks of homeless people gathered together for dinner.
Zachary suddenly shouted.
"Apollo's chariot of the sun, never passed over my head."
"The Greek sun has never shone on me."
"In my ears, only the thunder of Zeus is roaring!"
The homeless people looked at Zachary sadly.
"Aristocracy and legend, are they born?"
"Running away is death, killing nobles is also death, the same is death, it is better to revolt, to die for justice, to die for the sake of awakening the people! Kill the nobles! β
"Kill the nobles!" Hausen shouted.
"Kill the nobles!" Taylor shouted.
"Kill the nobles!" Doris shouted.
"Kill the nobles!" Forty-four people on the stage shouted in unison.
"Kill the nobles!" A handful of people in the audience began to shout.
"Kill the nobles!" Those who had experienced the battle between Su Ye and Luo Long shouted.
"Kill the nobles!" A large number of civilians began to shout.
Many people were crying and shouting.
They wanted to say this for a long time, but they never dared to say it.
On the stage, everyone picks up farm tools or weapons and stands tall and looks into the distant sky.
The curtain falls, and the second act ends.
The audience looked at the curtain with tears in their eyes.
Hult desperately wiped away tears.
Countless civilians had red eyes.
The voices of cursing nobles came and went.
Some of the nobles in the field silently stayed away.
"I have a bad feeling." Child whispered.
"Me too."
"Shall we ask the God of War Mountain to stop the performance?"
"If you are not afraid of His Highness Palos, not afraid of His Highness Sisyphus, not afraid of His Majesty Lutos, you can try."
Everyone was immediately deflated.
"I don't want to see it."
"Although this is just a drama, why do you feel like you've been scolding us nobles?"
"I feel that way, too."
"Andrew, do you want to read it anymore?"
Andre smiled slightly and said, "I still adhere to what I just said, drama is drama, reality is reality." In just one night, we can see the whole life of those people, what a novel experience. If nothing else, the next 'me' will be unlucky. I don't run, what are you going? β
"Haha......" the young nobleman laughed.
"You're a great example of a big heart." Coral praised.
The curtain rises again.
Act III begins.
Above the stage is the hall of Andrew's house.
Forty-four righteous men were fighting against Andrea's men.
Andre shrank in a corner like a frightened mouse, shivering.
The two sides fought and cursed each other.
The righteous men scolded Andrew.
"Murderer, you insulted my wife!"
"Madman, you killed my father!"
"Thug, you killed my wife and children."
β¦β¦
The sins of all the Athenian nobles were shouted out by the roar of forty-four.
"Kill Andre!"
"Kill Andre!"
The audience under the stage roared angrily.
The nobleman on the roof looked at Andre again, and everyone's gaze became more complicated than before.
They saw that the smile on Andre's face disappeared, and he pursed his lips slightly, and his gray-green eyes were extremely dim.
At the end of the battle, Zachary fights the captain of the guard, both played by Aeschylus' hand-picked Black Iron Warriors, bringing the audience an extraordinary battle scene that far surpasses any previous drama.
Seeing this scene, all the playwrights were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the drama could be shown so realistically.
Eventually, Zachary killed the chief of the guard.
Zachary led everyone and grabbed Andre to the center of the stage, stepped on his head, and looked at the audience in front of him.
Forty-four people, looking ahead together.
The scene was completely boiling.
"Kill Andre!"
"Kill Andre ......"
More than 100,000 people shouted in unison.
Those who didn't dare to shout "kill the nobles" before also shouted without scruples at this moment.
"Kill!"
Zachary took matters into his own hands and killed Andrea.
Forty-four men surrounded him and secretly swapped Andrew's body.
Then, the audience fell silent, and the Athenians saw a scene they had never seen in their lives.
And he saw forty-four men, like wild beasts, attacking that Andrew, wielding farm tools and weapons, smashing, chopping, chopping, and slicing......
Ox blood and minced meat as if real flesh were flying on the stage.
At this moment, forty-four people seemed to have turned into blood-stained demons.
Some even reached out and grabbed the minced flesh and blood, and stuffed it into their mouths.
While chewing, crying bitterly.
All the audience opened their mouths wide and were completely shocked.
At this time, the trumpets sounded on the edge of the stage, the earth shook, and the horses' hooves fluttered.
"The nobles who hunted us are coming." Hausen's voice was full of regret.
"I'd rather kill myself than be slandered as a robber and become their spoil."
"It's a pity that we can only kill Andrea, we can't enter Athens, and we can't let those noble lords who are high up see our power. We can't make them afraid, we can't make them suffer. β
"No, as long as we know that we killed Andre and killed the nobles, the nobles will be afraid! They will certainly reduce the persecution of other civilians because of fear and suffering. We can't kill Athens, but we can light the fire that the city of Athens can see! Let this little light burn their souls forever! Zachary shouted.
