78. What else do you have to say?!
Frontier of the Empire, Maple Town.
It's a small town that's not too wealthy.
That's not to say that the material output here is not good.
From the endless wheat fields and the tall buildings lined up one after another, it can be seen that the materials here are abundant.
In fact, it was one of the most powerful cities in the empire, and it was once a border city that the empire focused on developing.
But no matter how rich the materials are, no matter how prosperous the city is, it cannot withstand an extremely exploitative ruler.
The eldest son of a certain nobleman in the imperial capital was sent here to enjoy life, and by the way, to make a fortune in this key city of the empire.
Even if the real big tigers in the imperial capital were slapped to death, it would not be able to affect the nobles who were sent to such a border land to continue to exploit the people under their rule.
Every family in the town lives a life of hardship and barely having something to eat, and it is completely impossible to get enough to eat.
Originally, this kind of daily poverty was bearable, but it was not until the turmoil in the imperial capital that the life of the townspeople became more difficult.
The army that has been stationed in Maple Leaf Town all year round to fight foreign nations has now shrunk back to the vicinity of the imperial capital.
Outside the border, foreign peoples who usually did not dare to invade the empire began to invade from time to time, trying to test the bottom line of the empire.
Over the course of a few months, the invasions of the alien peoples became more frequent and unbridled, and they had figured out the current state of the empire.
The impact of the sudden fault line in the middle and upper management of the empire is too great for the empire to shrink its forces to defend the imperial capital and the surrounding area, and prevent the ever-expanding rebels and foreign nationalities from invading the country.
Other than that, you can only try to manage cities that are slightly farther away.
In a border place like Maple Town, no matter how important and developed it is, but in the case of such a distance, the empire really doesn't have much energy to care.
As a result, the residents of Maple Leaf Town, who couldn't stand the excesses of taxes and the burning and looting of foreign nationalities, couldn't sit still.
They knew that the way to change the status quo was to push the ruling nobles of Maple Leaf Town to the gallows, then everyone would eat, drink, and equip themselves, and then think about whether to fight the alien people or flee near the imperial capital.
The angry populace was so strong in action that they soon secretly pulled up a team of 1,000 men, gathered supplies to feed them, and dressed them in simple armor woven from layers of thatch and wooden strips.
Then, it's a battle for survival and the future.

The gallows stood on a high table.
The nobleman who had been exploiting everyone in Maple Town drooped his head and was escorted to the stage by several excited and red-faced strong men.
Offstage are most of the residents of Maple Leaf Town.
They are all here to witness how this nobleman, who has been exploiting everyone, is on his way to his final return.
And in the crowd of onlookers, Su, Estes, and Xiao Qinglong, who was invisible with qi magic, blended into the crowd at some point, standing at the outermost part of the crowd and watching.
"We seem to have come by coincidence."
Suddenly, he turned his head to Estes beside him.
Today, as usual, they go out every five days to visit a place where there are people. If you stay in a cave all day, it's not good for people after all.
After all, even if you are a prisoner, you still have time to relax in prison.
"It's a coincidence that Gregory Olsen is on the gallows." Estes replied.
She has been to Maple Leaf Town a few times, and she is responsible for training the combat effectiveness of the army here.
Otherwise, the permanent army of Maple Leaf Town would not be able to keep repelling the invading alien peoples.
"Your acquaintance?" He asked Estes suddenly.
"I know, but I don't know it." Estes shook his head.
She often comes to Maple Leaf Town to train troops, so naturally she knows the supreme leader of Maple Leaf Town, but she doesn't disdain to flatter and operate relationships with these garbage aristocrats.
Even Minister Earnest, who was once the secret controller of this world, Estes will not have much to do with him.
Ornest was only able to reluctantly summon her because he knew what she wanted and could satisfy her desire to kill.
Suddenly, he nodded, and then asked, "His name is Gregory Olsen, right?" I remember that there was an Olsen family in the imperial capital. ”
Suddenly, he remembered that among the nobles in the imperial capital who were destroyed by him was this Olsen family.
"Yes, Maple Leaf Town has always been divided into the jurisdiction of the Olsen family by Minister Earnest, and this Gregory Olsen was sent by the Olsen family." Estes said.
"It seems that even if he didn't die under my hands because he wasn't in the imperial capital, he would inevitably die after all." He suddenly looked at Gregory Olsen on the stage and said with a smile.
After saying that, he suddenly wanted to turn around and leave.
But the invisible little green dragon suddenly stopped him.
"Don't go, don't go, let's talk about it after watching the hanging." There was a hint of excitement in Xiao Qinglong's tone.
Obviously, the little green dragon who has little knowledge of the human world is very curious about this scene that he has never seen before.
Hearing this, he suddenly glanced at Estes, and then stopped with a smile.

In the excited crowd, all kinds of filthy words were mercilessly scolded at Gregory Olsen, who was tied up on the stage.
In addition to Gregory Olsen and the two escorted strong men on the stage, there is also a middle-aged man with a calm temperament.
He was the main leader and planner of the incident, and was elected by everyone to preside over the trial of Gregory Olsen.
"My purpose today was to show you that nobles should be tried as ordinary citizens. And I, after a night of reflection, would say that this nobleman should be judged as an enemy, not so much that we should judge him, but that we should fight him! ”
The middle-aged voice seemed sonorous and powerful.
"We should not respectfully judge a man who has been caught slaughtering people, and whose hands are still soaked in blood and sin!"
"That's how we should!" The middle-aged man said, pulled out a dagger, stabbed at Gregory Olsen's crotch without hesitation, and then pulled it out.
Blood gushed out, and Gregory Olsen's expression of pain distorted, and for a moment he couldn't make a sound.
The crowd in the audience also let out a burst of exclamations, and after a while, they all turned into excited applause.
Suddenly, those who watched from the audience also gasped, and the eyes of the middle-aged people on the stage became serious: "This man will become a great weapon in the future." ”
Regardless of the movement in the audience, the middle-aged man continued to speak on the stage.
"Just as people will decay, the country will one day be destroyed, and even the imperial capital, which has been prosperous for thousands of years, is just a corrupt hell on earth, with ghosts and ghosts dressed in human skin, arrogant and domineering everywhere!"
"No matter how oppressed the nobles, the people will definitely stand up!"
"We have to tell this group of cannibalistic nobles that the people can't be defeated!"
"We have to tell this group of cannibalistic aristocrats that where there is oppression, there is struggle!"
The middle-aged man's voice became louder and louder, and finally he yelled at Gregory Olsen next to him:
"Gregory Olsen! What else do you have to say?! ”
This high-pitched voice was like a thunderbolt from the sky, hitting the hearts of all the onlookers fiercely.
Even Gregory Olsen, who was still grinning in pain, was stunned by this series of words.
"Good guy, I'll just say where did you get such eloquent and infectious talents, it turned out to be people from the rebels......"
As he spoke, he felt a sudden realization.
The middle-aged man's sentence "Just as people will decay, the country will one day be destroyed...... this sentence is from the organizing program of the rebel's super-killer organization Night Raid".
It seems that the rebels are taking advantage of the weakness of the empire and are stretching their hands everywhere.
This is one of the many effects of his sudden arrival in this world.
