Gold is Justice

After the undead soldier poured the tea, Ke Ke saluted the president slightly, then led the soldiers to spread out to both sides, retreated to stand at a similar distance to the Thunder Army soldiers, and wrapped his cloak tightly.

As a result, this negotiation can be regarded as officially started.

Sit still, Ariel let her cloak spread out a little, which can make her figure look a little stronger.

As for the hat on her head, it can shrink her blonde hair as much as possible, so as not to be blown everywhere in the wind.

Now facing the leader of the Thunder Army in front of her, and the surrounding citizens who were suddenly called over and didn't know anything, Ariel knew that the most important thing for her now was definitely not to argue with this guy here, but to Go and rescue those captured nobles.

At the moment, she glanced at Ke Ke next to her, and Ke Ke nodded slightly now.Everything is in action, which makes Ariel slightly relieved.

My members are all working, and what I, the mayor, has to do... should be to delay the negotiation as much as possible.

"Dear Mayor Ariel Garcia! I must say that it is not my intention to sit here with you now."

Fleischer raised his arms and put them on the table. This thick and burly man made Ariel on the opposite side look so petite.

"But I think it is necessary for me to clarify my position and propositions with you now, and let all the citizens here know that our Thunder Army is not a cruel kidnapper, and what we are doing now is the same. It's not for selfishness! Everything we do now is for Pelican City, for Marginal Province, and for the many people who are still living in misery!"

Fleischer's voice was heard far away through the loudspeaker and reached the ears of everyone present.

In this regard, Ariel crossed her hands and fingers, placed them on the table, and said slowly——

"I don't think that setting fire to buildings, disturbing people's rest in the middle of the night, and disrupting a peaceful city, making a game that may become a classic legacy full of blood will be people's hope."

In front, Fleisch did not show anger at Ariel's sarcasm, he just closed his eyes, sneered, and said slowly——

"In other words, do you think you can represent peace? And I can't represent peace? I want to tell you, you are wrong, Ariel Garcia. Whether you can represent all the citizens of Pelican City here is not up to you. They have The right to choose another path of peace! And now, I will tell them what the second, more correct path of peace is. After I have finished, you-!"

He stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Ariel's nose——

"I will also agree with my rhetoric and fully agree with my theory!"

Ariel didn't think the general in front of her could have any theory.If he really had a complete set of theories, why would he be beaten and run around?

But in the next 10 minutes, the frivolous and indifferent mentality in her heart quickly disintegrated following the general's words.

Because, this man really raised a question that Ariel has been thinking carefully for a long time——

In this world, who are our friends?Who is our enemy again?

"Mayor Ariel Garcia, the Earl of the Blue Bay Empire, and the president of Mermaid Song! However, today's debate is not so much about arguing with you as it is about telling everyone present Citizens of Pelican City!"

The general stood up from his seat, opened his hands towards the stands on both sides and the crowd gathered on both sides of the stands, and said loudly——

"Among you, I believe there are many who have had very painful experiences!"

Excellent C novels, H novels, Tanmei novels are all here: Lanwen.com

"Pelican City has developed rapidly in the past two years. More and more people have no food and clothing, so they came to Pelican City and became a member of this city. So I also believe that before that, , Many of you must feel that you can’t survive! You feel that no matter how hard you try, how much you listen to those lords, and how hard you pay taxes, there is no way to survive smoothly!”

"I believe that you must have such doubts in your mind, that is why we work so hard, but in the end we still live in such a miserable life, and our lives are still getting dilapidated day by day?"

Fleischer stretched out his finger, pointed firmly to one side of the stand, rowed to the other side, then turned around, squeezed his outstretched fingers into a fist, tapped his own chest, and continued—

"I was born in an ordinary peasant family. There was an older brother in the family, and my life was not considered rich."

"After I left home, I also worked for those aristocratic lords and served as their servants. There is no doubt that they seem to have money that can never be spent! It seems that every day they can eat delicacies from mountains and seas, eating food that we have never had in our lives. You have never eaten something, and then the next day these delicacies will come out of some unknown place again!"

"They're rich, very rich! They're even rich beyond my comprehension!"

"I've never read a book, and I don't know where they got all the money. But...but!"

The general raised his finger to point to the sky again, his eyes widened angrily, he continued to look around at everyone present, and said——

"But, I only know one thing! And that's when I watch them whip those who can't pay the rent, watch them take those who begged them for a bowl of food, and then they take the beggar's When all the hands and feet were broken, I knew that the source of our pain must come from these nobles! It must come from these rich elders!"

In an instant, the entire arena was silent.

Everyone listened silently to the general explaining his theory.And after listening to these theories, different colors flashed on everyone's face.There are doubts and surprises... Naturally, there will also be signs of approval after doubts and surprises.

Fleisch continued: "Those rich nobles, lords, rich men, and big landowners, they are so rich! Could they conjure money out of thin air? I don't believe it. During the period when I commanded the Thunder Army During the time, I knew very well how difficult it is to make money."

"A thousand comrades in the Thunder Army, eating, drinking, and sleeping every day is an astronomical sum. In order to make money, I am almost desperate!"

"But those nobles don't seem to need to worry about it at all, is this reasonable?!"

"I thought and thought and thought and thought! I couldn't think of a root cause. But then! When I did something! I suddenly found that I found the answer to the problem!"

When the general waved his hand, the momentum on his body was like a giant passing over the hills, giving people an endless sense of oppression——

"When I led my team into a small town, slaughtered a rich merchant who had closed his granary and raised prices to buy grain during the disaster year, and then took all his wealth, I finally understood..."

"It turns out that those rich people didn't become so rich through their hard work at all. They, like me, did it through robbing, plundering! Stealing! All kinds of things are reasonable and legal in their own eyes. They used all means to plunder our wealth, and then they could become so rich!"

"So, those are not nobles, lords, rich men, lords at all... They are robbers! They are criminals! They are thieves! Every criminal should have a rope wrapped around his neck and hang on a tree trunk!"

I have to say that Ariel did underestimate this general before.

It was not until now that Ariel finally realized one thing—is it really possible for a general who can pull up a team of 1000 people to be a purely hot-headed waste?

Also under his rhetoric, the onlookers on both sides also began to nod one after another.After all, they were not born lords and nobles, and of course they felt very useful after hearing such words.

But... so what?

Although Ariel was a little surprised, she didn't panic.

Because of these theories, she also talked to the citizens of Pelican City.Or in other words, it is precisely because of the previous actions of Song of the Mermaid that the status of the royal family, the highest level of nobles, in the hearts of the common people was broken, and they were able to more easily come into contact with Fleischer's words.

Fleisch was indeed right, but these words did not go beyond the basic scope of Ariel's previous theory.

Or to put it another way, while Ariel is a bit surprised that Fleisch is able to grasp this level, she hasn't lost control of things yet.

But next...

"So, how do we treat those noble lords? Do we still have to be at the mercy of them as before? Or should we continue to watch them drink and eat meat, and then we have to work hard and continue to be manipulated by them?" Their oppression?!"

No one in the stands responded.

However, that chilling atmosphere had already made Ariel aware that something was wrong... Some people may have already started shouting slogans in their hearts.

"Of course not! Those noble lords stole our things, so we have to take them back!"

Afterwards, Fleisch stretched out his hand, spread it out to Ariel who was sitting by the table, and shouted——

"After Mayor Garcia summoned the nobles, lords, and rich people to our city through these activities, we should be able to imprison them! Instead of letting them continue to bring a large number of servants, swaggering through the streets in our city , enjoy the best element lighting and the best element car race in the world! Tell me! Am I doing it right?!"

At this moment, Ariel wanted to stop her.

But it was still a step too late.

"right--!"

In the stands, someone has already started to roar.Judging from the voice, it should be a few young people. These young people raised their fists and stood up from their seats. Their faces were full of excitement as if they were going to avenge their father's death in the next second, and they shouted loudly. with.

With the response, Fleisch looked even more excited now, he looked at Ariel, and said——

"Mayor Garcia, we have the power to tie up all those guys! Of course, we are not as bloodthirsty as those scumbags! So, we just tie them up and ask their homes to provide Ransom! The value of the ransom is also very simple, the ransom we ask for is half of the value of all their property! With such a result, you must agree, right?"

Now, everyone's eyes finally turned back to Ariel.

These citizens who have been influenced by Ariel's dismantling of the superstition of the royal family before are even more passionate, and they all look at the woman who is the supreme leader of the marginal province.

It's just that under Ariel's seemingly calm face, no one knows what kind of turmoil she is going through in her heart...

In a sense, Fleiser was right!

Those noble lords are indeed leeches and fleas lying on their people to suck blood.If Ariel didn't occupy a stronghold in the marginal province, but had to travel around like the Thunder Army, she might also kill those noble lords, kill them directly and divide their property.

But now, these nobles came to their city to participate in the event because of the ambiguous relationship between themselves and the empire.They probably never thought that they would be imprisoned directly, let alone that their trip would lose half of their property, right?

I believe that during this trip, some of their family and friends must have persuaded them about the dangers of this trip.After all, they were going to a city occupied by rebels.But they came here with their own judgment and love of entertainment.

If Ariel deflated these nobles this time, what's next?

When the Blue Bay Empire really made up its mind to crusade against the marginal provinces in the future, these noble lords could originally stay out of the matter or contribute to their work, but at that time, the new and old grudges must be counted together!The pressure you face will be even greater!

Politics...are really troublesome.

For the sake of long-term benefits, Ariel finally understands why she needs to cooperate with people she hates, or even people whose class is completely different from her own.

Just like now, the Fleisher in front of him should be on the same side as himself, but for a longer future, Ariel is standing on both sides of the road with him.

No... In fact, Ariel herself is not sure. From the perspective of the future, is it right for her to have a good relationship with those nobles?Or a self-righteous thing?

I keep saying that I stand on the standpoint of ordinary people, but the way I recruit those noble lords to come to play is to stand with those rich people and those who oppress the common people... such a standpoint It seems that it is not too conspicuous now, but when we can really face the tense moment in the future, will there really be no troubles?

At this moment, Ariel had a light and elegant smile on her face.Under the moonlight, she was like a beautiful jade statue, sitting quietly beside the chair.Occasionally, she would hold the teacup in a very elegant posture and take a sip of tea.But only she knew that the tea was already completely cold...it was as cold as ice.

who?Is it your own enemy?

Is it Fleiss?Or those noble lords?

who?Is it my friend again?

Is it Fleiss?Or those noble lords?

Ariel's heart is in a mess right now, but under that elegant and dignified posture, the heart in her chest is contracting violently, pumping blood quickly to her whole body.

But no matter who was enemy and who was friend, there was one thing Ariel was sure of now.

That is for Pelican City... No, for the marginal provinces, building an army that truly belongs to them, which will not contradict themselves, or even stop their own army at critical moments, is simply the top priority!

So... what kind of army is his own?

Ariel picked up the teacup again, pretended to be very hot, and blew into it twice.At this time, Fleisch over there was still eloquent, agitating with very provocative words.

Regarding this, after Ariel glanced at the agitated crowd from the corner of her eyes, she had silently made up her mind.

Fleisch wanted to mobilize the masses.

Then Ariel will naturally want to take back these people!Looking back on my journey in the past five or six years, I can stand in this position as a weak woman with no strength and no strength. The greatest strength is to rely on those guild members, rely on the townspeople of Pelican Town, and rely on everyone who is willing to believe in herself. people.

Now the problem is simple, if you want to build an army of your own, then this army must have the same views and propositions as yourself.This army is also obviously only generated from the people!

That being the case, I want to tell the people what kind of road they want to take, what advantages their own proposition has compared with Fleiser's, and what serious flaws his proposition has, so that the people are willing to see the future and see Qing Yuan Fang, and willing to follow along the way to practice, that is the most important thing.

Ariel put the teacup in her hand on the table.

She lightly patted the dust on her legs, stood up, and looked at the leader of the Thunder Army who had finished speaking.
