CHAPTER XXXI
Located in the center of the empire, the capital of the empire, known as the central capital of the empire, was heavily protected by three layers of walls, like a fortress, and the towns within each city wall had different characteristics. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The outermost city wall was used as a garrison base for the Empire, and it was equipped with extremely complete military facilities, but the people who use these military facilities today are criminals who used to be in prisons.
The innermost area is the central administrative district of the entire empire, and there are also warehouses for storing military rations, which is an area that needs to be protected by heavy troops.
The middle area between the two areas is the living area of the citizens. Because of Weiss's control, the living quarters are now back to normal. Several squares in the district have returned to their former prosperity, and many people have set up stalls here to display all kinds of food, clothes and other goods.
For most citizens, magic has nothing to do with them, and the chaos caused to them by the disappearance of magic is only because of the short-term panic caused by the loss of the umbrella, this panic is the easiest to eliminate, coupled with Weiss's strong wrist, it is only a moment of effort, and the citizens of the central capital will return to their normal lives, which is also the best result for them.
It's just that the harmonious life has been broken again.
"Listen to me!" a man's voice rang out in a corner of the square, but it was louder than all the voices present.
The citizens all stopped what they were doing and looked at the man who was making the sound.
The man's next words directly caused an explosion.
"The Empire has released all the criminals! Now those criminals are picking up weapons in the military bases on the outskirts!"
The people who hesitated for a moment didn't know that what the man said was true or false, but there were suddenly people in the empty military base outside the central capital because of the disbandment of 100,000 magicians who couldn't do magic, and it was indeed the truth, were those people criminals?
"It's all done by that guy named Ves!" the man continued to incite the populace, "he doesn't take you seriously at all! he's just a villain who wants to take advantage of this chaos to get into the upper echelons of the Empire!"
There is no one who does not know the name of Weis Sterling in the current central capital, and the current stability of the central capital is due to him.
"He incorporated the criminals into his own troops just to control the central capital, if those criminals don't obey his command and riot, what should we do?"
Hearing this, the people suddenly fell into panic again. Yes, what should we do as civilians if those criminals don't listen to Weiss's command? For these people who just want to live a comfortable life, our own safety is the first priority.
Another man's voice rang out, "We should go to Lord Sterling's mansion and ask for clarification!"
"Yes! Ask me clearly!" Everyone obviously agreed to this approach, because it was Weiss who calmed down the chaos in the central capital, so they had a certain sense of trust in Weiss, and they would not be suspicious because of a man's words, but they still decided to ask about it.
A crowd surrounded Vess's mansion.
"That's right, those people are criminals. After the guards informed Vess, he walked out with sleepy eyes, but the first words exploded in the crowd like a bolt from the blue.
Countless curses rang out, which was the anger of these civilians when their own safety was threatened, and some even wanted to rush up and beat Vess, but they were stopped by the guards who guarded the house of Vess, and people obviously thought that these criminals were threatening their own safety.
It was only after the anger of the people had subsided a little that Weiss continued to speak.
"So, someone is willing to stand up and protect their home?"
Suddenly the crowd fell silent, and it was clear that no one wanted to do such a thing.
"Now that 50,000 rebels have approached the central capital, and I have received information that they have slaughtered all the civilians of the Francis command, then you can imagine what will happen if they take the central capital. Even then, no one wants to come forward, right?"
Everyone was silent, no one continued to speak, except for the voice of Vess, who continued after a brief pause.
"Sure enough, as I expected, you are afraid of fighting, you just want to protect yourself, I can understand, this is your right, I don't want to force you, no fighting spirit of the army is bound to lose, so I chose to let those criminals who are not afraid of death as a combat force, and plan to organize them into an army to fight the rebel army after this, please don't say anything about imprisoning the criminals back, those guys are now protecting your existence, I hope you can understand this. ”
"But on the other hand, if those criminals do anything to hurt you, I am willing to take responsibility, and depending on the degree, I may even apologize with death. After hearing Weiss's promise, no one raised any objections, and the man who had made trouble before was speechless at the moment.
"If not, please go about your life in peace, and I will not let the bandit-like rebels touch the walls of the central capital. ”
With that, Vis turned around and planned to go back to his mansion to continue sleeping, because he was extremely sleepy because he had too many things to deal with before.
"Please let me join your troops!" a rather loud voice rang out from behind Ves, sweeping away Ves's weariness.
All eyes were on the young man who made the sound, a young man with short, neatly cut blond hair and a healthy tanned complexion.
I didn't expect that there would be such a young man who was willing to stand up, which was really beyond Weiss's expectations, and a person with such courage would definitely become a good talent in the future.
The young man walked up to Vis through the path that the crowd had automatically made way for him.
"Please put me in the service of your allegiance, Lord Sterling. "Interestingly, the young man said that the allegiance was to Lord Stirling, not the Emperor, and not the Empire, maybe this will become his handle in the future, but Wei is not a big deal for him now, after all, no one would think of attacking an unknown young man.
"What's your name. ”
"Lyle, no surname. "There is no surname, it is a symbol of civilians, but no one will say this when they introduce themselves.
Vis smiled, funny fellow, he thought so.
"Do you have family?"
"There is a mother. A very simple and neat answer, without any unnecessary embellishment.
"Understood, then welcome to join me, Lyle. "Weiss had fallen in love with the young man when Lyle had volunteered, and his future was immeasurable.
Probably didn't expect to be accepted so quickly, Lyle hesitated for a moment before smiling.
