Start your adventure from Pirate World

What came to Koro Village was an Imperial Guard of about ten people.

Although they were called escorts, looking at their crooked postures, slutty looks, and greedy eyes, if they weren't wearing uniforms, the title "Ruffians" would be more suitable for them.

In other words, even if they are wearing the uniform of the escort, they are just more powerful hooligans.

With this group of hooligans...the leader of the escort was called Clifford. He dragged his fat body out of the carriage and made the villagers change their expressions as soon as he spoke:

"It's time for you to pay your taxes."

"what!?"

"Why do we have to pay taxes again!?"

"We've had it many times!"

The villagers immediately exploded.

In fact, the people of Kolo village did not tell the Noel trio that their village had not always been so poor.

Although they were not wealthy at the beginning, they were able to be self-sufficient and had no worries about food and clothing.

But for some reason, tax collection has become more frequent in recent years. Almost all their money and the food they grow have been invested in this bottomless pit, and there is even less.

But now, they really don't have any extra belongings on them.

When Clifford saw this, he frowned and signaled to the escort. Everyone in the escort pulled out their knives and warned fiercely:

"Who's arguing anymore?!"

After being threatened in this way, the voices of the villagers suddenly became much quieter, but many people were still aggrieved.

Clifford nodded with satisfaction, and the village chief stepped forward with a sad face and asked:

"Sir, why do you have to pay taxes again?"

Clifford pretended:

"Recently, the empire has had a war with aliens in the north, which has consumed a lot of money and food. This war happened to protect you from alien invasion. Shouldn't you pay taxes to support the army?"

The village chief replied with a wry smile:

"This is as it should be. But sir, you already collected this tax last time."

Clifford's face froze, but he quickly recovered and then said:

"Then this time it should be a drought in the West."

"I've accepted this one too."

Clifford's face darkened: "That's the rebellion in the south."

"I've accepted this one too."

"There are also dangerous beasts in the east!"

"You also accepted this."

"...Then take it again!!"

After finding that he could not find an excuse, Clifford simply stopped covering up and said it nakedly.

"But......"

"But what? Where does all this nonsense come from!"

The village chief looked a little ugly when he heard this, and wanted to say something more, but Clifford had already become impatient and kicked the village chief to the ground!

"village head!"

"grandfather!"

Little Sarah ran to the village chief in fear, and looked at the village chief who was lying on the ground out of breath. Tears immediately flowed down:

"Grandpa, are you okay!? Wuwuwuwu...!"

"You guys are really too much!"

The villagers were furious, and even seemed to be swarming forward. The guards became a little nervous, but Clifford did not panic at all, and just said lightly:

"Do you want to be rebels?"

Just such a sentence immediately made the villagers feel as if they were frozen, and they no longer dared to take any action.

If he is defined as a rebel, then everyone in the village will die!

But even so, many people in the crowd had already clenched their fists.

"If you don't want to become a rebel, it's better to just stand here."

Clifford smiled contemptuously and greeted the people behind him:

"Okay, let's go search and see if there's anything else here that can be turned in."

"Haha, I understand!"

The guards laughed wildly and searched every house.

This search was incredible. They actually found meat in every house, as well as a large amount of dangerous species.These are valuable things!

However, Clifford was not only unhappy, but said angrily:

"Okay, it turns out that you just handed over some rags to deal with me!"

In anger, he kicked the little Sarah next to him again, kicked her aside, and then sneered:

"The next time I come back, the taxes I have to pay will be today's standards. You can figure it out!"

After saying that, Clifford and the escorts turned around and left with their 'trophies'.

The villagers looked desperate. Not only was the food left at home gone, but how could they get so much food next time? ?

Can they survive in this situation?

But

Since you can't survive, what does it matter if you are a rebel or not?

"Colliford!"

Then there was a roar, and Clifford frowned and turned around, but he didn't expect that what greeted him was not a certain villager, but a pitchfork!

puff!

The pitchfork penetrated Clifford's chest. His eyes widened, perhaps because of pain or disbelief, but he opened his mouth and said nothing after all, and slowly fell to the ground.

Everyone was stunned by the situation in front of them. At this time, several villagers rushed out with shovels and sickles, shouting to everyone:

"Kill those guards, or the whole village will die!"

This is the end of the matter, there is no other way.

The villagers reacted, gritted their teeth, picked up the benches, stones, and brooms around them and rushed to the escort team.

The guards, who had not been trained for a long time, looked ferocious, but in fact they were just as tough as they looked, and were quickly beaten to death by the enraged villagers.

The village chief and little Sarah were put aside to take care of them. Everyone gathered around the young man who was the first to kill Clifford with a pitchfork and asked:

"What shall we do now?"

someone asked.

At this time, the young man's mind was still a little confused.

At this time, in addition to the refreshing feeling of killing the opponent, he also remembered how they usually worked hard but were still oppressed, and how Clifford and his gang used their money to have fun.

And the extremely joyous banquet yesterday, which was probably the happiest and happiest moment in his life. There was no pressure or worries, just endless meat and everyone's laughter.

After having such a happy experience, he could no longer endure the empire's endless oppression of them.

So he made up his mind and said firmly:

"Since he said we are rebels, then we should really join the rebels! Anyway, this shabby country should have been finished long ago!"

"No, from now on, we are the revolutionary army!"

--------------------

On the other side, the three Noels also encountered some small incidents during their journey.

Following the route instructed by the village chief, the three of them arrived at a city near the village, and successfully entered the city after showing the identity certificate given by the village chief.

This city did have the feel of a small town in another world, but it was very shabby and dirty. The three of them just wandered around for a while and then quickly lost interest and went straight to the tavern.

Dangerous species are rampant in this world, but the valuable materials on them also make many people make a living by hunting them. Bars and brothels are the gathering places for such people.

At the same time, the places where the south and the north gather together these days also form a gathering place for intelligence.

And they went to the tavern to find out information about dangerous species and prepare to use dangerous species for training.

But halfway, they were stopped by a so-called noble.
