Naruto's Journey to Training
Chapter 314: Dragon's Anxiety
Soon, like a spark, the entire Goa Kingdom took this incident as a starting point.
Riots broke out in various regions, and countless civilians surrounded the naval soldiers, preventing them from arresting nobles.
"Lieutenant, what should we do now? Should we drive away these civilians?" a navy soldier asked nervously.
"I have reported to the higher-ups and am waiting for orders!"
"Yes! Lieutenant!"
Long was cleaning up the files of the Kingdom of Goa in his newly vacated office. As he looked at the files full of inhumane cases, his heart was filled with inexplicable anger.
There are many dirty dealings of the nobles here.
This included nobles imitating the Celestial Dragons in torturing slaves, and using improper means to turn civilian girls into slaves and taking pleasure in torturing them.
It can be said that the entire Goa Kingdom is a microcosm of this world.
Just when he was furious, his door was pushed open by the bear.
"Chief, something terrible has happened. The whole city has started rioting because of the arrest of nobles!"
Long slammed the document in his hand shut, "How is this possible? How could the common people riot over the arrest of nobles?"
The dragon looked at the bear in disbelief.
The bear looked silent.
"Chief, this is the truth. Now many civilians are demanding that we drive out the refugees from the garbage dump and restore the aristocratic system of the Goa Kingdom. Otherwise, they will ask us to get out of our empire!"
Xiong quickly explained the situation.
"Is it the nobles who are behind this?" Long asked coldly.
"Almost. Now the rumor in the city is that we will liquidate the civilians as well, and distribute their property to the refugees from the garbage mountain!"
"Haha, these nobles are really ruthless!" Long's mouth curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "Don't pay attention to them, continue to arrest nobles, none of these nobles are clean."
But the bear remained standing still.
"Captain, if we don't deal with these civilians now, the navy will not be able to execute orders. Those civilians have gathered and surrounded the navy soldiers who were arresting the nobles and will not let them leave.
If we want to arrest them by force, we have to attack the civilians, and that is the problem now." Xiong frowned.
Long was also in a dilemma. It was the first time he encountered such a difficult problem.
After all, when they revolted in the past, the civilians were all very happy. There was no way they could be stopped. It was good enough that they did not take action themselves.
"Wait a minute, I will report this matter to the central government first and see how the empire handles this matter!" After saying that, Long quickly picked up the phone beside him and dialed it.
Soon a steady voice came from the other side.
"Hello, I'm the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Rizu, what can I do for you?"
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I am the third-level consul, Long. The Kingdom of Goa is experiencing riots because of the liquidation of the nobles. How should this matter be handled? Please give instructions from the central government!"
There was a slight silence on the phone for a moment before he spoke, "Is everything in compliance with the laws of the empire?"
"Of course, everything is proceeding according to the normal procedures of the empire!" Long replied quickly.
"Then enforce it. Anyone who obstructs the Empire from upholding the laws of the Empire is an accomplice. The Empire cannot go against the will of the laws of the Empire for a group of people who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Do you understand?"
"But Your Excellency the Prime Minister, if it is enforced, more innocent people will inevitably be harmed!" Long replied hesitantly.
"Are there any innocent people who harm innocent people and prevent the normal law enforcement of the empire? Innocent people in the eyes of the empire must be law-abiding citizens. If not, then they cannot be called innocent. I hope you understand this!"
Hearing the tough tone from the other side, Long opened his mouth slightly, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
He had a premonition that if he enforced the law by force, there would inevitably be huge bloodshed and sacrifice, and he did not want to do that.
Just when he was about to retort, the other party hung up the phone.
"Chief, what did the Empire say?" Xiong asked with twinkling eyes.
Long put down the phone silently, looking a little ugly, "The Empire asked us to enforce it!"
The bear was silent.
"So what are you going to do, Chief? We have to make a decision quickly. The soldiers below are still waiting for your order!"
Long took a deep breath and closed his eyes. He didn't expect that he would face such a big challenge on his first day in office.
After a long while, Long finally opened his eyes.
"Order the Seventh and Eighth Fleets, all soldiers to enter the city immediately. The purpose is to deter the civilians first. If these civilians are still stubborn, you can open fire to warn them."
"Yes! Chief!"
At this time, after surrounding the navy, the civilians of the Kingdom of Goa became bolder when they saw how timid the Imperial Navy was.
"Haha, look everyone! As long as we unite, we can definitely drive out the empire!"
"There's no need to be afraid. I don't believe the Empire can kill everyone in our Goa Kingdom!"
"Yes! Yes! Our Goa Kingdom does not need imperial rule, we want freedom!"
"for freedom!"
"for freedom!"
The second lieutenant of the navy gritted his teeth when he saw that someone dared to make a fuss at this time.
"These bastards, do they really think the Empire is merciful?!"
At this time, Sabo's parents, who were arrested by them, gradually changed their expressions from panic to pride.
"Haha, officer, the Goa Kingdom cannot be without nobles. As long as the Empire is willing to give us the treatment that nobles deserve, we will take care of these civilians for the Empire!"
The naval officer, who was already angry, punched Sabo's father hard.
"Humph! Do you think you can escape? Do you really think the Empire will destroy the order established by His Majesty the Emperor just for a small kingdom?"
"Just wait! I believe the Empire will make the right decision!"
Veins popped out on Sabo's father's forehead and he looked at the naval officer fiercely, his stomach churning.
"When he regains his noble status, he will definitely turn this navy into a human pig!"
On the Imperial Command Ship, Garp was stunned when he received Dragon's order.
"What? That brat actually sent a large navy force into the town to suppress the civilians. Is he crazy?"
"Major General Garp, Governor Long means to send troops to deter and scare off the civilians first. Otherwise, the imperial decree will not be enforced in the Kingdom of Goa. You should understand what will happen to the entire Kingdom of Goa once the imperial decree cannot be enforced!"
On the other end of the phone, Xiong explained in a deep voice.
Garp was speechless for a moment. He didn't understand why the common people would stand up to protect the nobles when the nobles had often bullied the common people.
He couldn't figure it out, so he could only follow Long's arrangements. This was the only thing he had now, and he hoped it would work.
Soon, a large army of thousands began to march into the Kingdom of Goa in orderly steps.
Each of them turned up their solemn and murderous aura to the maximum.
Seeing this, many of the increasingly courageous civilians of the Kingdom of Goa actually began to have the thought of retreating.
But think about it, once they retreat like this, then they will have no chance to resist again.
"I don't believe they dare to shoot. Don't be afraid. If the Empire dares to do so, it will offend the civilians of the entire kingdom! Without us, what's the point of handing over the Kingdom of Goa to the Empire!"
"Yes! Yes! We just want the Empire to drive out those rubbish and return to their normal lives. Is this too much to ask?"
At this moment, looking at the many naval soldiers holding guns in a menacing manner, they no longer dared to say such arrogant words as driving the empire out.
But their final bottom line is to never let those scumbags into the city.
"Listen, mobs on the other side. Violating the laws of the empire will be considered a crime. You have half an hour to go back immediately, otherwise the empire will enforce the law!"
Hearing the shouts from the naval officers on the opposite side, many civilians felt a slight tremor in their hearts.
But at the moment they were numerous and powerful, and they held the lucky mentality that the law would not punish the majority. For the sake of their aristocratic dreams, no one backed down easily at this moment.
They began to clamor and confronted the Imperial Navy.
