(I bowed down and thanked the book friends "Yueming DOTA", "JHT121", and "The Dream Never Changes" for their rewards.) Well, there are also tickets for book friends "Sunset Limited Beauty", the tanuki hugging his paws and thanking him~!)

There is basically a conventional rule in otherworldly cities, which is to place markers in the center of the city. There are many meanings to do this, some are simple worship, then put a statue of the god of light. Some put some unique items to highlight the characteristics of the city. Some directly built the city lord's mansion here, which is called the town city......

There is no doubt that this red sculpture in the central square of Riva is the symbol of the city, it was built by the first nobles to come here, and the meaning is probably to eat meat and not forget to kill pigs.

As for the people of the city, of course they don't have a good opinion of the guy who made them poor. But even if they didn't think so, when they saw it shattered to the ground, everyone's minds were still instantly confused.

Sadness, anger? Ecstasy, exhilaration? This is not enough...... There was only a faint sense of melancholy and deep shock in the hearts of the people.

I'm worried because this thing has been erected for more than 100 years, and I can't see it when I look up, and I can't see it when I look down, and of course there will be a little discomfort when it suddenly breaks.

The shock is better understood, this thing is a symbol of the city of Riva, and it was built by the nobles, and there is even a wooden sign next to it that prohibits climbing and touching. But now it's a good thing that I was directly smashed by this group of bold people!

Just when everyone in the square collectively lost their voices, a dozen or so people came over carrying a stack of wooden planks.

Bang, bang, bang......

Smooth movements, blazing speed. In a moment, a simple small platform was erected on the red gravel.

At this time, the onlookers finally came back to their senses.

"You, you, you, what ......are you," a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman opened his mouth and stammered.

An ordinary-looking young man among these people probably heard it, turned his head, narrowed his long narrow eyes, and said with a smile: "We are from the City Administration of Riva City. Abbreviated as chengguan. Today, I got a report from the public that this red thing is an illegal construction, and it will be demolished now!"

"City, city administration?" the middle-aged man was stunned, is there such a unit? Why haven't I heard of it......

"No matter what kind of bureau you are, I can say very responsibly that you have a big deal!" a man dressed as a noble butler next to him shook his head and said in a pitiful tone. Of course, he knew the importance of the sculpture. I haven't heard of this bureau at all, it should be newly established. In this way, these rookies are afraid that they will be shaded! Alas, it is really pitiful......

"Hehe, we're not afraid!" the young man raised his head and looked arrogant, "We're temporary workers!"

............

Leaving behind two people with inexplicable faces, these people who suddenly appeared quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Then, before the onlookers who had fully recovered their senses, commented. On the right side of the haode platform, a white-robed girl walked up the stairs.

Maybe he was shocked by the destruction of the previous statue, or maybe he was infected by the solemn demeanor of the girl in the rain in front of him...... The crowd didn't make a sound, just watched her step onto the platform, step by step to the center.

Take a deep breath. Bow down, stand upright, and nod your head

"Hi everyone, I'm Josia. From the Grey Army!"

Wow......

It was as if a level 10 storm was suddenly coming, and the buzzing sound sounded instantly, and then spread throughout the square at an extremely fast speed.

Gray Army ...... This term is naturally familiar to everyone. Especially under the cover of a lot of propaganda paper these days. But at the end of the day, in most people's minds, it's just a noun. They didn't expect that there would be such a day, and from a distance of only a few meters, they really saw the gray-clothed soldiers.

This feeling...... It's like reading too many Dragon Quest novels, and then one day, the legendary dragon really appeared in front of you!

Shocked, stunned, illusory......

Just before everyone had time to sort out their emotions, Josia on the stage spoke again,

"I'm here for a simple purpose, just to show everyone the heinous, cruel, tyrannical, and mad nature of the official propaganda...... What is the gray-clad mob like, huh...... I'm sorry, I'm not angry enough, but there are many more such adjectives, and I suspect that the compilers will be distressed right now, because they have indeed used up all the words they can think of!"

Spreading her hands, Josia showed a distressed expression.

...... A dull laugh rang out from all around.

The faces of the people were a little complicated at this time, this was the first time they had faced the legendary gray soldiers.

Mob bandits?Just this girl with a flat face, like a hollow orchid in the drizzle? Don't be kidding......

"Then, I'm going to say something angry!" Josia pursed her lips as the atmosphere eased, "We've been in Riva for four days, and we haven't done anything but hand out leaflets. But just last night, right here, five of our companions were captured and left with us forever...... I don't know if it's weishenme, is it because of what we mob bandits have done recently to attack the city......?

After a pause, Josia said in an excited tone: "We just said something that shouldn't be said! We just said that the nobles were greedy, grabbed wealth that did not belong to them, and trampled on other people's lives at will...... We are only talking about the poverty and embarrassment of the common people, who have worked hard all their lives without being able to get enough bread to satisfy their hunger, and who cannot afford to buy the toys that their children want...... We are telling the truth, but we have been retaliated with the most ruthless!"

A torrential stream of words poured out, hitting the deepest part of everyone's hearts, causing ripples.

There was a small commotion in the square, and most of the poor people in coarse cloth patches had angry expressions on their faces, and of course they knew that what the girl on the stage said was the truth, because they were bearing it.

At this moment,

"Who knows if what you're saying is true or not? ”

"Didn't you do the things in the newspapers?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense here, five people died? Hmph, you said yes, right?"

"You deserve to be dead, the gray-clothed people ......"

“......”

At first, there were only one or two sounds, and then the voices of questioning and insulting continued to emerge from the crowd.

Josia was stunned, and instantly found someone to speak, it was a short and fat middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes, this kind of dress was not a rich businessman. It was the people sent by the nobles to purchase ore......

The blood surged instantly, and Josia pointed at the other party angrily: "You said that it was made up, have you investigated? Have you asked the people around us where we live? In this case, how can you assume that the content in the newspaper is not made up, but we did it?"

"Qubble, maybe those people have been bought by you!" The short and fat middle-aged man who was pointed out was stunned for a moment, and then fought back. Of course, what is said is just nonsense. Josia and they have only been here for a few days, how can they buy a street person.

But this is not important, what matters is his status as an ore merchant. As a vested interest in the veins, he certainly would not allow the Greys to incite the miners to revolt.

"That's it, this slut is obviously spreading rumors here, don't be fooled. ”

"The Gray Coats are the mob, and I once had a batch of goods robbed by them, and everyone was killed...... needless to say, of course this is made up. All men were killed. How did he know it was the Grey Army...... Of course, no one is going to think about this now, and splashing dirty water doesn't need a perfect reason in the first place, just say it!

This man's words seemed to inspire some people, and suddenly all kinds of news of being "innocent and mutilated" came out one after another. Time, Place...... It's said that you have a nose and an eye.

Such words also caused some people who had been angry to begin to waver...... Don't doubt it. It's a fact!

The people will not be persuaded, and there is an element of doubt in human nature. The populace is also very easily persuaded, because the habit of blind obedience is so great.

This statement is not contradictory, and history continues to prove these two points.

The most important thing at this time is only the situation. When the people watched the people around them crying and detailing the charges of the gray army, they naturally couldn't help but believe it. And Josia's hoarse justification has long been drowned out......

The scales are constantly tipping. Then

I don't know where the first one was thrown. Leaves, potatoes, shoes...... smashed towards the platform.

Josia stood on the stage, without the slightest intention of dodging.

......

Not far away, at the top of the bell tower.

David's fist slammed into the wall, turning his head, his eyes red: "Boss, I'll take someone to hack this bunch of nonsense to death." ”

Tang En's face was cold and lonely, looking at the thin figure below who seemed to be abandoned by Quan Shijie and isolated, and shook his head: "We have other things to do." ”

For Josia's proposal last night, Don first disagreed. It's too risky, and it doesn't necessarily work. However, the former broke out into unprecedented stubbornness, and the two even quarreled a little......

Squinting his eyes, Don let out a long breath and turned his head to look into the distance. Josia, the method is self-chosen, I just hope you can stick to it......

......

A voice burst out from the stage.

The sound was really slight, so slight that some of the people who were about to rush to the stage didn't hear it, but the square fell into dead silence at this moment.

Everyone felt a flash of blue light in front of them, and then an oval cover appeared on the girl's body.

Magic Shield......

I have never eaten pork and have always seen pigs run, and magicians are mysterious and noble in everyone's impression, they do not often appear in front of others, and cover their faces with robes all day long. But even children know that the mysterious magician has a skill that can protect himself - the magic shield!

She's a magician? Are we smashing a magician?

The crowd froze as they had just moved, their panic amplified by the magician's chilling and strange attacks.

With a wave of his staff, Josia removed his magic shield and ignored the mess on his body. Speak calmly,

"Someone told me last night that my jihua would not succeed because the people were ignorant, and I had a fight with him...... But now, I agree with him!"

"Yes, you are not only foolish, but also stupid. Coward, coward...... You only know how to be obedient, and you only know how to hide and curse injustice. But he never dared to open his mouth to shout, and he stood up and began to resist!

Word by word, Josia looked at the crowd that was gradually stirring around, and a mocking smile hung on his lips: "What, are you angry? Heh, it's a pity that you only know anger! You know the injustice of reality, you hope that someone will stand up and solve all this, but you hope that this person is not yourself, right? Hehe, it seems that I was wrong just now, you are not stupid, on the contrary, you are very smart." Well, ridiculously clever ......"

I believe that if Don was on the scene, he would definitely rub his eyes, Josia's personality is not lacking in gentleness, stubbornness, and persistence...... But she has never been like this, like a calm scolding woman, sarcastic, mocking, and disdainful......

However, such seemingly self-defeating remarks had some unclear effects, and the wheezing of the surrounding people became coarse, and their fists were secretly clenched...... Of course, I don't know who I'm going to beat.

"Oh, I almost forgot about you!" Josia glanced at the few people who rushed to the steps and pouted, "Rich merchant, nobleman, nobleman's lackey, guess it's you!"

"Do you know that I'm going to smash that red sculpture? because it's just like you, with filth on every pore. You squeeze every bit of flesh and blood from the poor to enrich yourself, and when you get to Zuihou, even the outer color turns blood-red...... Of course, no matter how much you are immersed, it can't change your dark heart. ”

"I'm a magician, not a wizard. But I still curse you, and curse the souls of the dead on every gold coin in your bosom, which haunt you for the rest of your life. Until your juniors, juniors ......"

Speaking of this, Josia paused, frowning and looking at the edge of the square.

Because of the height of the platform, she saw that there were about seventy or eighty guards in neat armor pushing through the crowd and walking this way. Farther away, there were several aristocratic carriages parked on the side of the road, with several men pointing at her.

Suddenly, the crowd began to disorganize.

The dozens of guards split into two groups, one still heading towards the center, while the other began to disperse the crowd with scabbards and whips.

Tang En, who was on the bell tower, also saw this scene, and couldn't help but light up his eyes: "Haha, the opportunity has come! What kind of fool is this, I want to thank his eight generations of ancestors." ”

Don't underestimate the energy of the little people, and don't underestimate the power of the little events.

The former Boris is deeply aware of it, and the latter will also be remembered by the nobles from afar.

In fact, these nobles passed by by accident, but during a boring look out of the window, they spotted these quiet crowds in the square. After a little inquiry, I learned that it was the Gray Army who was here to promote.

This was not the case, and they acted decisively afterwards, immediately sending people to arrest and disperse.

In fact, there is no problem with these two tasks, and they must do to arrest the gray army, after all, the positions of both sides are there. As for the latter thing, uh, if you do it at a different time, it's no problem. Although the number of guards is scarce, it is more than enough to deal with civilians who have never dared to resist.

But now, the civilians are being provoked by Josia's cynicism, but they can't vent their anger. Originally, they should have attacked Josia, but the other party was a magician, and what she just said vaguely lifted their fig leaf, making everyone ashamed to do it.

Just then, the guards came and beat them as usual. This seems to confirm what Josia just said...... You are oppressed, but you know how to be obedient, and you dare not resist...... You are cowards, cowards......

Well, it really hurts face for a group of big men to be scolded like this by such a young girl. Don't dare to resist? I'll show you now......

No one knew who was the first to move, and most people only heard a loud roar,

"Fuck them, beat them! We're not cowards! We're not cowards!"

In an instant, the crowd surged, and the fists were like a forest.

Dozens of armored guards were immediately overwhelmed by the crowd that followed one after another, and they couldn't make a splash.

The chaos kicked off...... (To be continued.) )
