Tomorrow's Ark Full of Heroic Spirits

It's just that the influence is not so good. Compared with "the emperor of Gaul bravely defeated the powerful enemy and left the capital" and "the emperor of Gaul led the people of Gaul to rebel against Victoria", although it sounds very strong, it still lacks a bit of stature. For the emperor's leadership.

At least as far as Napoleon himself was concerned, his emperor was definitely not a lonely and lonely existence. He relied on his army and the support of his people, which was the basis for his own prestige.

At this moment, neither the Cave King nor Tracys spoke. Tracy was thinking about the stakes, and the Cave King was waiting for the other party's answer.

But after a long time, I saw Tracy standing up slowly, and a faint voice came:

"...This week, Victoria's army will be 'rested after the war', and nearly [-]% of the army will be unable to move. Londinium's policy towards the Gauls will become a little stricter."

"A week later, everything will return to the original state, and as for the promise you said, Mr. Count of Monte Cristo, I hope that you, as a heroic spirit, will not break your promise."

"Happy cooperation." The confident cave king raised his coffee cup, clinked glasses with Tracys, and then said lightly, "A transfer contract will be delivered to your place in the next few days."

"I am waiting."

Tracys left such a sentence, and disappeared in front of the cave king.

And it wasn't until Teresis walked away that a few ghostly figures appeared beside him. They were the few cronies of him in the city, the Imperial Guard of Teresis, code-named "Forgiver of Sin".

"Your Highness, that heroic spirit of Gaul..."

"I know he can't be trusted, but at least for now, we have the same purpose." Tracy waved his hand, he is not a fool, of course he knows that the purpose of the Count of Monte Cristo is definitely not that simple to destroy Victoria's economy , if this is really the purpose, then he has many other ways to do it, why sell these shares to Tracy for operation?

But Teresis doesn't care now, he knows that he and the Count of Monte Cristo have the same purpose, so of course they can cooperate for the benefit of both parties.

"Your Highness, I heard that he has sponsored many Gaul families and has gained the respect of many Gauls..."

"I know this too, but what's the use of that, can he restore Gaul?"

And Tracy is not very concerned about this - he doesn't know about Napoleon yet, and this is the information gap between Tracy and the King of the Grotto. He only sees the Count of Monte Cristo.Although it has great abilities, it is not enough to pose a huge threat.

If you want to lead the people of a country, you need a born king.This is even more so for the Gauls. The people of Gaul, who have experienced the era of falling from the peak to the destruction of the country, want to make their pride flowing in their blood completely surrender, which is not something ordinary people can do.

At least, based on Teresis's contact with the Count of Monte Cristo just now, he believes that this man is at most a "godfather", and he is not so courageous as the emperor leading the Gaul people.

"But even so... Should it be said that it is Gaul? The former First Empire... These heroic spirits also have the pride of a Gallic lion."

……

"Ah-choo-!"

But at this moment, Mr. Napoleon, who had been in Wei Na's camp for a week, sneezed suddenly, knocking out the baked potatoes in his hand.

"What's going on...how can I catch a cold even though I'm a Heroic Spirit?"

Napoleon also scratched his head suspiciously, and on the other side, Wei Na looked at the heroic spirit next to her with a slightly contemptuous look, who had been eating and drinking in her camp for a week, muttering to herself said:

"Now I feel like I've been cheated... Are you really a Heroic Spirit? Not some bastard who pretended to be a Heroic Spirit and cut off all the racial characteristics?"

"It's been a week, you've been eating potatoes in my camp for a week, and you haven't done anything. Morgan Gowan and Indra have complained to me, saying that I have invited a lord emperor."

"Hahaha! I'm accumulating strength!" But Napoleon said with such an excuse as always. He said this sentence a lot this week, but it has been ignored by Wei Na and the group.

And this was exactly the effect Napoleon wanted. In a week, Wei Na's view of Napoleon had slipped directly from a heroic spirit to another level, and she began to gradually feel that Napoleon was just a poor man with no identity as a heroic spirit.

"Speaking of which, you guys, Morgan, Gawain, and Lancelot can all make a "Legend of King Arthur"."

At this moment, Napoleon couldn't help but feel curious about these go-getters around Wei Na. After this period of time, he also came into contact with these people. Although they were still very immature, Napoleon, as the emperor, saw the potential in them .

Thinking again, Victoria is the England of this era, and he can't help but start to imagine, is this also the history of this era?

"King Arthur is our heroic spirit of Victoria... although no one believes us when we say so." Wei Na also replied lightly.

During this period of time, discussions on the Internet about Casimir's King Arthur have never stopped.And gradually, a saying has been born-King Arthur is actually the heroic spirit of Victoria.The specific basis is that many place names mentioned in "Legend of King Arthur", as well as places with special descriptions, correspond to some cities in Victoria.

This caused the collective brain bombing of Victorian netizens who do not have a heroic spirit in the world, and began to publicize that King Arthur is actually a Victorian heroic spirit. Even the knight culture was passed down from Victoria, but after being learned by Casimir , has become their culture.

In this regard, Casimir netizens and Victoria netizens launched a fierce scolding war. Both sides angrily accused each other of stealing culture, and even robbed the heroic spirits they should belong to, which is shameless.

As for this, Wei Na didn't care very much, and sighed lightly:

"When will we, Victoria, have our own heroic spirit... Gaul and Casimir are all there, when will Victoria be given its turn..."

Wei Na very much hopes that a Victorian heroic spirit can find herself, so that she can really use the power of the heroic spirit without reservation to help Victoria out of danger.

But at this moment, it is a pity that there is only one Gaul heroic spirit by her side.

"Then you'd better wait." As for this, Napoleon was really not good at expressing his opinions. Although he knew that strictly speaking, King Arthur and the others were indeed the heroic spirits of Victoria in this era, but as a Frenchman, he had a blood feud with England. country, he is not so kind.

Thinking of this, Napoleon also picked up a piece of potato again, resisting his urge to eat something else, forcing himself to continue to swallow the baked potato that lasted for a week.

"...The food of the British is as bad as ever, even in this era. There are only baked potatoes and mashed potatoes."

Chapter 215: France, March!

The next period of time was smooth sailing, and the cave king, who had reached a consensus with Teresis, got a very conspicuous return-during this period, the taxation of the original Gauls in Londinium increased [-]%, and also introduced a new policy on the control of the Gauls.

It is said to be a new policy, but it is actually an intensified exploitation.For a while, the Gauls in Londinium complained, many families who had Gauls also suffered innocent disasters, the increasingly heavy taxation, and the city defense army gradually began to intensify the search of the Gauls. The atmosphere in Tinim became even more tense.

And the effect of this is that more and more Gauls began to secretly seek the "Count of Monte Cristo", who only came to Londinium more than a week ago, but he already went out because of special preferential treatment for Gauls. existence of name.

However, what awaited them was extraordinarily desperate—the property of the Count of Monte Cristo was announced to be transferred to another one the next day, and all the Gauls who sought asylum could not find the Count of Monte Cristo, and lost their last shelter.

Instead, they have to face harsher scrutiny, heavier burdens, and even... possible difficulties from the Victoria City Defense Force.

Anger and despair are stacking up, but it doesn't seem to be enough...

Everything needs a breaking point, and war is the same. When a breaking point becomes reasonable, everything after that will become justified. Napoleon is waiting for this breaking point, and the job of the Cave King is to create an outbreak for Napoleon point.

"——This afternoon, at Victoria Square, there was a public execution against some Gauls."

"Because they were dissatisfied with the increase in taxes, blatantly obstructed public affairs, and caused attacks and casualties on law enforcement officers, they should have been sentenced to life imprisonment and executed immediately, but because of their Gaul status, the crime was aggravated, which aroused great enthusiasm among the lower-level Gauls. dissatisfaction."

"This is a point that can be used, Your Majesty, I have cleared all the roads for you, and the rest is up to you."

——The cave king and Napoleon met secretly once, and the cave king did not forget to give Napoleon a small device, and said to Napoleon: "This is what I got, and it can be connected to all broadcasting devices in Londinium Communicator, if you have any speeches at that time, just use this."

And Napoleon certainly understood the good intentions of the Cave King, so on the second day, he took the initiative to ask Wei Na to go to Victoria Square to watch the execution.

"...Are you crazy? You are a wanted criminal." Wei Na was slightly taken aback when she heard Napoleon's words, and then immediately refused:

"I'm not an infected person, but I can go out with a disguise, but how do you do this? You are too conspicuous. And you are also a Gaul who is on the list and is wanted."

"Oh, Miss Crown Prince, you seem to have made a mistake."

But at this moment, Napoleon was extraordinarily serious, a bit unlike his usual seriousness.Staring at Wei Na, he said word by word: "You are relying on my strength now, you are my prisoner, my words are not discussing with you now, but giving orders to you."

"I have decided to go to the execution site. If you don't agree, I will force you to go. I am going to rescue my people now!"

"—Miss Crown Prince, aren't you clamoring for me to do something? Now is my chance!"

As soon as Napoleon finished speaking, he grabbed Wei Na who hadn't reacted yet, carried the crown prince directly on his shoulders, and walked out.

"—You wait for me!"

Napoleon's sudden movement not only scared Wei Na, but also surprised the rest of the gang.On the other side, Indra, who was defeated by Wei Na and had been the second in command, rushed towards Napoleon without saying a word, just to subdue this man who wanted to take their boss away.

But at this moment, Napoleon glared at Indra suddenly, and in an instant, a strong momentum enveloped the entire gang!

"Soldier! Attention!"

"!"

Napoleon's angry roar stopped Indra's movements almost instantly. Indra, who had been struggling in the slums for so many years, suddenly looked like an excellent soldier under Napoleon's voice. Standing upright like a conditioned reflex - even though Indra had never received any formal military training before.

Not just Indra, even the rest of the gang were stunned by Napoleon's aura.They put down the bowls and chopsticks in their hands, and stood up straight like Indra, like excellent soldiers.

Even Wei Na, who was being carried on Napoleon's shoulders at the moment, felt that something was wrong. She raised her head and looked around, and found that the members of her own gang had become so serious all of a sudden.

Feeling uncomfortable and serious like meeting a dignitary?Wei Na thought in confusion.But at this moment, Napoleon's lecture has already been exported.

"Victoria soldiers - although you are not soldiers of the regular army, I can feel that you are not the ones who are resentful because of differences in nationality and blood. You say that you are infected, while others are non-infected, not Difference between Victorians and Gauls, right?"

"Then now, innocent people are about to be executed by the executioner. As a Gaul, I cannot just sit idly by - and as for whether you want to come forward, it is your freedom, and I have no right to force you."

"But, soldiers, let me tell you something."

At this moment, Napoleon's tone paused slightly, and then he shouted with inspiring words:

"If you don't stand up for the freedom of others today, the chains of bondage will be wrapped around you tomorrow!"

"I want to stand up for my people, and whether you are willing to stand up for the non-infected is your freedom, soldiers."

Napoleon's voice fell, and he nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the people in the audience who were already stunned by him, thinking that although he was not born as a Rider, as an Archer, he was really Did not reduce the majesty by half.

Others may not be clear about it, but in fact, Napoleon of the Archer job title still has the [Emperor's Privilege: B] reserved skill.However, Napoleon will hardly use it - because he is not the real Napoleon after all. Bonaparte, this is a collection of all the legends and "aggregate" about Napoleon.

But now, Napoleon felt that it was necessary for him to use this ability.Even if he won't use [Emperor's Privilege] to do anything out of the ordinary, if it's to save the people of France in this era, he doesn't mind being the real emperor once.

"Then now—towards the square, march!"

Napoleon shouted to himself, carrying Wei Na on his shoulders, he ran towards the execution square.On the other side, after looking at each other, these members of the gang picked up their weapons in unison, and followed in Napoleon's footsteps.

Most of them are actually still very confused, and they don't know why they want to follow Napoleon to do such a risky thing.

But at this moment, there was a voice deep in their hearts, making them feel that this Gaul man who usually idled around in their camp, eating, drinking, and doing nothing, had a charm and courage that convinced them all. !

This feeling is very similar to the charm they felt on Wei Na, but it is undoubtedly more mature, more perfect, and more exciting than Wei Na's.

"It seems... Gaul really has heroes."

At this moment, Wei Na, who had no intention of resisting and stayed on Napoleon's shoulder and turned into a salted fish, looked at Indra and his party who were following him, and thought so in her heart.

And when she looked at Napoleon again, a slight vigilance rose in her heart.

Napoleon... what kind of person are you?

Chapter 216: Napoleon's Execution Platform Uprising

And at this moment in Victoria Square, the high platform for execution has already been set up, and many civilians are gathered here, looking up at the execution that is about to start on the high platform.

This is not a secret, but it is rather grandiose, because the people to be executed are those who resist the recent policy against the Gauls, and they are all former Gauls in Londinium.Therefore, besides most of the Victorians who took pleasure in their misfortune, there were also many Gauls who gathered in Victoria Square this time.

"Kill those Gauls!"

"Kill them!"

In the audience, there are voices from some Victorian children from time to time. Obviously, Tong Yan Wuji's words can not only be used in good intentions, but once they fall into malice, they will become extraordinarily terrifying.

Of course, not all Victorians look like this. On the other side of the execution platform, a blond girl with Vajvan's long horns and a long-handled ceremonial flag in her hand has the same look as her other companion. Looking at this scene sadly.

"It's so pitiful... It's just that they are dissatisfied with the tyranny... They are obviously citizens of Victoria, why are they like this..."

"—you're wrong, Jenny."

Beside the girl holding the banner, another girl with long orange-red hair who looks similar to her age is holding a gun in her hand and wearing a suit that would have been taller if Napoleon was present. The girl who called "Scottish kilt" said to the girl holding the flag beside her:

"Jane, the people of this city have never acknowledged that they are Victorians... It is written in the textbooks, but the implementation of the policy is another matter."

"It's a pity... but there's nothing we can do..."

"Bagpipes..."

However, the blond girl named Jenny looked at her companion beside her, her eyes flickering in confusion and she asked, "Are we just because we are Victorians, do we have to sit back and ignore all this?"

"That's not what I meant." Bagpipe also turned to look at Jane and said helplessly, "If I had nothing to worry about, of course I would try to stop it, but Jane, if we are doing anything here, Will be sentenced to 'treason'."

"At that time, our family will suffer, and we can't stop it from happening. It's not that I don't want to do it, but I really can't do it."

"...Sorry, Bagpipe, I was too impulsive."

And Jane was silent for a while when she heard the words, although the two girls met only during this period of time, Jane, who was originally serving in Victoria Hill County, and graduated from the Royal Victoria Guards College in Londinium Bagpipes were not supposed to communicate, but Janine came to Londinium after she suddenly asked to petition for the increasingly harsh policies against the Gauls.

And it happened that she met Bagpipe who was serving in the army after graduation. The two beautiful girls hit it off and became very good friends. It just so happened that on the first day they met, they encountered such a scene.

The execution of the Gauls who rioted because of their resistance to the tyrannical government, especially when she learned that the judge's sentence was clearly bullying the Gauls and the crime was aggravated, Jenny almost couldn't resist the urge to rush to the stage—— There are bagpipes stopping her.

Although bagpipe looks very lively, she is actually very calm, especially when it comes to such big things. Bagpipe, who has served for three years, is very calm. She is also very clear that the dark side of the Victoria regime is not limited to these.

"—do you want to stand up, little girls?"

But at this moment, a male voice suddenly came into the ears of Bagpipe and Janey. When the two girls turned around together, they saw a man in a dark green overcoat leaning against the wall. , a man with white hair in a suit and leather shoes was looking at them.

"Are you willing to lose everything for someone who has nothing to do with you? Do you have such awareness, little girls."

"you are……"

But at this moment, the bagpipes who had been in Londinium for a long time seemed to recognize the man in front of him, and before she uttered the title "Count of Monte Cristo", Jane stood up and said to the cave king:

"Sir, I am a flag bearer. My flag represents Victoria on the battlefield, but I want to say that this is not the Victoria I want to see..."

"Victoria in my heart shouldn't be like this. She is so beautiful and great, and even a powerful country like Gaul can be overthrown—but why can't she accept these ordinary people, but drive them out?"

"Oh? Then are you ready to give up everything and fight for your ideal?"

The Cave King looked at Jian Ni in front of him, but he felt the appearance of the other party, and the immature but firm eyes were a bit familiar. After thinking about it, he knew where he had seen this beast before. look.

"...reminds me of a saint, but she is different from you, the difference is too far."
