A strange world

Chapter 938 Section 169. Rapid expansion

Francois began to do the first thing for the "Freedom Blade" he had just named three seconds ago: recruiting.

Disappointingly, few responded.

They still don’t have the courage to do anything to change the status quo.

Annan wanted to treat the Kingdom of Ruikanle as frogs, and they were also another group of frogs put in hot water.

"Can we... leave?" one resident asked cautiously.

"no."

At this time, Francois was thinking about what he would do if Annan were here.

Well... that's not going to happen at all. Annan just stood there, and people were naturally willing to listen to him.

If he is not Annan, then he will use the "shameless baron" method, such as... death threats.

"Sorry, I can't let you leave." Francois still chose a slightly "gentle" approach, "Dal, your Salted Fish Gang has a cellar-"

"Mr. Olme is just right..." Lame Babu suddenly interrupted what Francois was about to say and stared at him seriously: "If you can trust me, just give them to me."

Francois pondered and said, "Okay, but you don't have much time."

"soon."

Lame Babu came to the restless people and said in a kind voice that gradually calmed them down: "You don't have to be afraid, after all, even I am standing here."

"Uncle Babu, were you also arrested by them?" asked a resident.

"The word 'catch' is not appropriate to describe the person who just gave you a full meal." Lame Babu chuckled, "I know what you are afraid of... Frankly speaking, I am the same."

Facing everyone's gaze, he slowly narrated: "When I learned the news, I was very hesitant and scared, worried that things would not be what I thought... But when I saw that Mr. Olme had just met, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. ”

"How long do you want to endure it? Poverty, hunger, and plague have taken away our relatives and loved ones one by one. Now the opportunity is right in front of us. You actually want to go back to that quagmire and die slowly? Do something, Anyway...no matter how bad it gets, it won't be worse than it is now, right?"

"Damn it, I'll do it with you! Just because you give us food!"

There was an angry voice from the crowd, and Francois recognized it as Little Small's voice, but others did not know it. Someone took the lead, and they all joined in, denouncing the darkness of bureaucracy, as if it was another group of people who had been silent just now.

The attitude of the residents gave Francois a heads-up.

Happiness comes from having something that others don’t have. They were closed here, and their lives were getting worse day by day, but because of their lack of awareness of the outside world, they thought it was the same in other places.

So are those leaflets just to reveal the cruel truth?

"Look, they are on our side." Lame Babu came to Francois, "I probably shouldn't say this, but I still have to say it... Fear is what the kingdom uses to suppress us. It takes something else to get people on our side.”

"Standing with you moral people always makes me look overshadowed."

"You are too polite. You are already the best-tempered nobleman I have ever seen."

Francois was not surprised that Barb discovered this: "That was now, the me before... forget it. I did bring the 'other thing' you mentioned."

"Oh? What is that?"

Francois took out a leaflet from his magic ring.

Lame Babu took it, his calm expression at first gradually became serious, and finally turned into emotion.

"This is really..." He raised his head and stared at Francois, "It seems that your purpose is more profound than I imagined..."

"So you want to help me?"

"Why not?" Lame Babu smiled: "I am very happy to do such a great thing with you in the last stage of my life."

"Where do you want to start?" Francois used the honorific.

Lame Babu lowered his head and looked at the flyer: "Aren't you ready?"

After watching "300 Warriors of Liberty City" and the flyers, the bloated people were already willing to believe that Francois was here to save them.

Otherwise, why would you give them food and show them such beautiful things to prevent them from taking a bath?

With the help of the lame Babu, Francois quickly formulated a simple propaganda plan: "Come to the Salted Fish Gang, there will be meat and bread."

The majority of the local people I came into contact with were those who couldn’t live any longer.

People who have experienced despair are more likely to hold on to hope and not let go.

Francois asked Dar to purchase a large amount of food and a list of herbs given by the lame Babu, and he set off with a lot of helpers - not only could the number of people carry things, but they could also deter those with bad intentions.

After they came back, Little Small and his men went around the streets looking for heavily soldiers and people who were about to starve to death.

The activities of the Salted Fish Gang quickly attracted attention, and Francois spread the word to the outside world that the Salted Fish Gang was going to expand in size. At the same time, let them pretend to be vicious and bring the person back.

People outside thought that the Xianyu Gang had become a man-eating den, but in fact those who were brought back were either being treated or devouring food.

The Xianyu Gang quickly expanded to seventy people, but few of them could fight.

Dal said that besides them, there was also a Shark Gang on the street, which was a real gang... The Salted Fish Gang was just a group of people who couldn't make a living, who got together and got some convenience by virtue of their numbers, and took in a few homeless children to sell things on the street, and at most they stole things...

The Shark Gang opened casinos, trafficked people, robbed women, killed people, robbed children, broke their hands and feet and sold them on the street--

"Does the Shark Gang have professionals?" Francois asked.

"Their boss is a warrior..."

"Leave it to me. Dale, you lead the way. Little Small, bring half of the gang members and follow."

"Oh."

Thinking that he was going to fight a bloody battle, Little Small brought enough gang members and weapons, and rushed to the gate of the Shark Gang while the residents were evading in panic, but he saw Dale bending over, and the new boss beside him was elegantly wiping his hands with a handkerchief.

"Take a few brave people in to save people."

"Ah? Oh..."

Little Small realized it later and broke into the Shark Gang's lair, which was full of corpses.

After solving the Shark Gang, the expansion of the Salted Fish Gang was no longer hindered. It took less than a day for the "Free Blade" to occupy the entire street.

When Francois was still thinking about how to expand after returning with the people rescued from the Shark Gang, he got some bad news: their food was running out again.

Without food, there was no way to attract residents.

When the expansion of the "Free Blade" encountered obstacles, the Red Witch was doing whatever she wanted with her fleet in the port of Noan in the west of the kingdom.
