Chapter 299: Officials Forced the People to Rebel (3)

It was clear that Virgil could not come out for too long.

Although Apu currently trusts him very much, and almost regards him as the most caring and loyal subordinate, with Apu's cunning and suspicious personality, Virgil also has to be wary of people who may be left by Apu in the shadows to spy on him.

So even if Virgil wanted to find a tavern and have a good drink with Ron, he had to let go of the thoughts in his heart, he couldn't even stay in front of Ron for too long, just dropped a sentence and immediately turned away.

However, Fergill's words brought an important clue to Ron.

That is, Anthony Andre was also involved in the plans of Apu and Holt.

There were more and more enemies, and it felt like bringing together the whole of Granville, all the people who had an enmity with him.

Of course, in some ways, it would be best to destroy all the enemies at once, but Ron also had to consider one thing, and that was ...... Can you eat it?

With so many top powerhouses coming together, not to mention him and Agnes, even if it is added to Christian's estimation, it is enough to choke.

Then again, why is that Anthony guy here?

Could it be that the repairman intervened again?

Aside from the mechanics, Ron couldn't think of anyone else who could order a guardian of fate like Anthony.

It's just that Ron has to be suspicious.

Apu, Holt, these are ambitious people who are absolutely unwilling to live under others for a long time, can they really work together?

What's more, Augustus still has a grudge against Holt.

Dominic has a vendetta against Augustus.

Even if they forcibly bring so many people together through the temptation of various interests, can they really work together?

What's more, there is such a-stirring stick as Virgil...... Well, it's the mastermind behind the scenes, and this so-called cooperation, I'm afraid it's not just started, it's already full of cracks.

Ron pondered for a long time, then finally smiled.

It's still the same sentence, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, you can kill as much as you want, anyway, he can't lose in the end.

……

Two days is not a long time, it is fleeting.

The appointed time is tonight.

In recent times, the atmosphere in King Adams City of Granville has been quite eerie.

On the one hand, there are rumors that Her Royal Highness Delores, who is the master of the people, has been put under house arrest by King Holt 474 by despicable means, as if she wants to deprive Her Royal Highness of her military power.

Recently, many border army generals have begun to appear in the royal city, and even a large number of troops are gradually moving closer to the royal city, which also confirms this.

This made many people lament in their hearts that it was not easy for someone in the ruling class to be nicer to the common people, and sure enough, he was targeted when he turned around.

On the other hand, the death of Archduke Egbert and his eldest son Butler gradually spread in Adams.

Although the deaths of these two people were quite miserable, one was stoned to death by grabbing his head, and the other was eaten alive...... But gossip is often more and more outrageous, and in the end, I don't know where the news came from, saying that the bones of the two were dismantled and taken home by those civilians to make soup.

According to legend, the soup made from the bones of these two people has an aphrodisiac effect.

So much so that in the past two days in Adams City, there have been countless sneaky figures, selling the bones of Grand Duke Egbert and Butler everywhere, although those bones look like pork bones, but the sales seem to be quite good, according to rough estimates, the bones sold, even if the Egbert family, more than a thousand people are slaughtered, they can't make up so much.

The aristocracy, on the other hand, was extremely angry about this matter.

Although it was the Grand Duke Egbert and his eldest son who died, losing the protection of the Grand Duke Egbert, a legendary six-star master, the original property and interests of the Egbert family were bound to be divided among other nobles.

This was even a good thing for other nobles.

However, the fact that the commoners dared to resist, or even dare to kill the nobles, aroused the anger and even vigilance of all the nobles.

If they dare to kill Grand Duke Egbert this time, they may dare to kill themselves next time.

This wind cannot last.

The aristocracy, by nature, is the ruling class, and the commoners are by nature slaved livestock. This is a truth that has not changed for 8,000 years, and it must not be overturned at this time.

Isn't it just bullying men and women, burning, killing and looting, what's the big deal, just ordinary people dare not let the aristocracy bulli, this is simply unreasonable, and it is a big rebellion.

This kind of sprout must be nipped in the bud.

Originally, because of Delores's operation, the increasingly tense relationship between the aristocracy and the royal family was suddenly eased because of this matter, and in terms of targeting civilians, the two sides reached a consensus in the shortest possible time.

After all, no matter how the royal family targets the aristocracy, it is only weakened, and it is impossible to uproot the aristocracy.

But the commoners are different, when the commoners go crazy, they really dare to gnaw the nobles alive.

It is a conflict between classes and classes, without the slightest weakness or kindness.

What's more, these nobles and royal families have long stopped treating commoners as human beings, and every decree they make is a toss to death.

Thus, in the course of two days, almost every few hours, a decree was issued, and, in the shortest possible time, spread to every inch of Granville's territory.

The first decree prohibits civilians from possessing iron and bronze tools......

As soon as the decree was issued, an army of a large number of noble private soldiers went door to door to collect kitchen knives, axes, shovels, hoes and the like.

The second decree prohibits all civilians from reading, and prohibits civilians from learning magic and martial arts......

The third decree prohibits civilians from possessing armor, even wooden ones, and if discovered, they will be punished as conspiracy.

Article 4 The decree prohibits civilians from holding more than 100 positions in the armed forces and prohibits civilians from holding any managerial positions in the government.

Article 5 Decree ......

When the decrees were conveyed, the people immediately became uproaring, and they had no idea which fool had made such a decree, could it be that the common people could not even eat? What can you take to cut vegetables without a kitchen knife, what to chop wood without an axe, what to plow without a shovel and hoe?

Originally, the children of commoner families studied hard, and although it was impossible to cross classes to become nobles, they could at least become a government official and have a decent treatment.

Or, learn a little magic, martial arts, become a mercenary, an adventurer, and earn far more than working in a factory and working in the fields.

But now, not to mention that the upward channel is blocked, this is directly pulling out the roots for you.

When Ron learned about these orders from Agnes, he was stunned, he really didn't expect that Holt, an old and cunning guy, could make such outrageous laws.

This thing is a talent of the dragon and phoenix, is the brain show funny?

But after thinking about it, Ron already understood in his heart that Holt, the king, had long been accustomed to not treating the people as human beings, and in his eyes, he might even feel that these laws were not strict enough.

It's just that these commands have a fart effect.

It is of little use other than to provoke greater anger among the people and provoke more popular uprisings.

He thought that if he mastered the weapons of the whole country, he would be able to enslave the civilians of the entire country, but he did not expect that once the anger of the civilians was completely aroused, even if there was no weapon in his hand, a bamboo pole would still stab you, the king, down.

Things were just as Ron expected, that is, in just two days, there have been more than a dozen large-scale public gatherings and demonstrations in King Adams.

On weekdays, these commoners naturally dare not resist the nobility and the royal family.

Not to mention resistance, as long as you are not killed by those arrogant and domineering nobles, it is already a blessing in misfortune.

But this time was different, first the Grand Duke of Egbert and his eldest son were killed in the street, which made these people suddenly feel that the nobility did not seem to be so powerful.

Coupled with this series of decrees, the people have no hope of survival.

I can't live anymore, so what do you care so much about?

And every large-scale protest will attract a large number of aristocratic private soldiers to suppress, these aristocratic private soldiers, obviously infected with aristocratic habits, obviously not a member of the upper class, but also very despised these ordinary commoners.

It was a bright knife that came up, and it directly cut down dozens of people.

They originally thought that these civilians were as cowardly as rats, killing dozens of leaders, and the remaining civilians were afraid that they would soon disperse.

Unexpectedly, the blood made these civilians red-eyed.

A large number of civilians rushed up like crazy, Rao is these private soldiers have a decent amount of force, but in the crowded streets can not be used at all, the weapons in their hands don't even have time to wave a few times, they are caught by the civilians who don't want to die, and then a large number of figures rush up, fists are stuffy, grabbed with their hands, stoned, all kinds of messy means are all beckoned, or it won't be long before this is a bit of a force of private soldiers, and it will become a puddle of meat sauce when it lands.

This large-scale rebellion also made many small nobles tremble.

They are not like those marquises, dukes, who have trained thousands of private soldiers, just those dozens of guards, once those mobs rush up, where can they bear it?

In fact, the mansions of several lords and barons have been attacked, and the family's belongings and food have been looted.

It can be said that in just two days, the entire King Addams City has been completely chaotic.

There seems to be a solemn and oppressive atmosphere wafting in the sky above the aristocratic district.

And this repression is especially severe in the royal palace.
