Ultimate Assassin System

Chapter 165 We are not cowards!

There is basically a common rule in otherworldly cities, which is to place markers in the center of the city. There are many meanings to doing this, some of which are pure worship, so put a statue of the God of Light. Some are to highlight the characteristics of the city and put some unique items here. Some directly built the city lord's palace here, which is called the town... There is no doubt that the red sculpture in the central square of Liva City is the symbol of the city. It was built by the first batch of nobles who came here. , the meaning is probably to eat meat without forgetting the pig killer or something.

As for the people in the city, they certainly didn't like this guy who made them poor. But even if they didn't take it seriously, everyone was still confused when they saw it shattered on the ground.

sad? anger? This is out of the question. ecstasy? Uplifting? This is not enough... the people are just a little confused and deeply shocked.

It's a pity because this thing has been standing here for more than a hundred years. It can't be seen when looking up and looking down. Of course it will be a little uncomfortable if it suddenly breaks.

The shock is easier to understand. This thing is a symbol of Liva City, and it was built by nobles. There is even a wooden sign next to it prohibiting climbing or touching. But now it's good, he was smashed to pieces by this group of daring people!

Just when everyone in the square lost their voice, another dozen people came over carrying a pile of wooden boards.

Bang, bang, bang...smooth movements, rapid speed. Within a moment, a simple small platform was built on the red gravel.

At this time, the onlookers finally came to their senses.

You, you, you, what are you... A middle-aged man who looked like a businessman opened his mouth and asked stammeringly.

An ordinary-looking young man among these people probably heard it. He turned his head, narrowed his narrow eyes, and said with a smile: We are from the Liva City Urban Management Bureau, or urban management for short. We got a report from a citizen today. This red thing It is an illegal construction and will be demolished now!”

City, City Administration Bureau? The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment. Is there such a unit? Why haven't I heard of it... No matter what position you are in, I can responsibly say that you are in big trouble! A man dressed as a noble butler next to him shook his head and said with pity. Of course he knew the importance of this sculpture. He had never heard of the bureau in front of him. It should be newly established. From this point of view, these rookies may have been tricked! Oh, how pitiful... A big problem? Haha, we are not afraid! The young man raised his head with a look of pride on his face, We are temporary workers!

.........Leaving two people with puzzled faces, these people who suddenly appeared quickly disappeared into the crowd.

Then, before they could fully recover, the onlookers started talking. On the right side of the platform, a girl in white robe climbed up the steps.

Perhaps they were shocked by the destruction of the previous statue, or perhaps they were infected by the solemn expression of the girl in the rain in front of them... No one made any sound, and just watched her step onto the platform and walk towards the center step by step.

Take a deep breath, bow, stand up straight, and nod, Hello everyone, I'm Josiah, from the Gray Army!

Wow... As if a Category 10 storm suddenly came, a buzzing discussion instantly sounded, and then spread throughout the square at an extremely fast speed.

The Gray Army... this term is naturally familiar to everyone, especially with the large amount of propaganda paper covering it these days. But in the final analysis, in most people's minds, this is just a noun. They didn't expect that one day, they would actually see gray-coated army personnel from a distance of only a few meters.

This feeling... is like reading too many Dragon Quest novels, and then one day, the legendary dragon really appears in front of you!

Shock, astonishment, illusion... Before everyone could sort out their emotions, Josiah on the stage spoke again, The purpose of my coming here is very simple, just to show everyone how vicious and cruel the official propaganda is. , what kind of crazy gray-clothed mob are they like? Huh... I'm sorry, I'm not angry enough. In fact, there are many more such adjectives. I suspect those who compiled them will be very distressed now, because they have indeed used up all of them. Every word I can think of!

Spreading his hands, Josiah showed a troubled expression.

...A burst of dull laughter came from all around.

Everyone's expressions were a bit complicated at this time. This was the first time they faced the legendary gray-clad army personnel.

Mob bandits? This girl with a plain face in front of me, who looks like an orchid in an empty valley in the drizzle? Don't be kidding... Then, I want to say something angry! Taking advantage of the atmosphere to relax, Josiah pursed his lips, We have been in Liva City for four days, and we have nothing but handing out leaflets. I did. But just last night, right here, five of our companions were arrested and left us forever... I don't know why. Is it because of what we mob gangsters have done recently to attack the city? Action? No...

After a pause, Josiah said excitedly: We just said things that we shouldn't have said! We just said that the nobles were greedy, grabbed wealth that didn't belong to them, and trampled on other people's lives at will... We just said that the common people were poor. Embarrassed, working hard all our lives but unable to get enough bread to satisfy our hunger, unable to buy the toys our children want... We told the truest facts, but we received the most ruthless revenge!

A stream of words poured out like a torrential rain, hitting the deepest part of everyone's hearts and causing ripples.

A small commotion began in the square, and most of the poor people wearing coarse patches had angry expressions on their faces. Of course they knew that what the girl on the stage said was true, because they were suffering from it.

At this moment, Who knows whether what you said is true or false? Maybe you made these up.

Didn't you do those things mentioned in the newspaper?

Don't listen to her nonsense here. Five people died? Humph, is that what you said?

You deserve to die, the gray-clothed rioters...

...

There were only one or two sounds at first, and then voices of questioning and insults continued to emerge from the crowd.

Josiah was startled, and he immediately found the speaker. He was a short, fat, middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes. He was either a wealthy businessman or someone sent by the nobles to purchase ore... His blood surged instantly, and Josiah's blood surged instantly. Shia pointed at the other party angrily: You said this was made up. Have you investigated it? Have you asked the people around where we live? If so, why do you think that the contents in the newspaper are not Made it up, but made it by us?”

Sophistry, maybe those people have been bribed by you! The short, fat middle-aged man who was pointed out was stunned and then counterattacked. Of course, what they said was just nonsense. Josiah and the others had only been here a few days, how could they possibly bribe a person from the street.

But this is not important. What is important is his identity as an ore merchant. As a vested interest in the mines, he would certainly not allow the Gray Army to incite the miners to rebel.

That's it, this bitch is obviously spreading rumors here, please don't be fooled.

The Gray Army is a mob. I once had a batch of goods robbed by them, and everyone was killed... Needless to say, this is of course made up. Everyone was killed, how did he know that it was the Gray Army who did it... Of course, no one will think about this now. There is no need for a perfect reason to throw dirty water, just say it!

This man's words seemed to have inspired some people, and all kinds of news about innocent killings spread out one after another. Time, place...it's very telling.

Such words also made some people who were originally angry begin to waver... No doubt, this is a fact!

The people will not be convinced, there is an element of doubt in human nature. The people are also easily persuaded because the habit of blind obedience is so great.

This statement is not contradictory, and history continues to prove these two points.

The most important thing at this time is the situation. When the people see people around them crying and detailing the crimes of the Gray Army, they naturally can't help but believe it. And Josiah's hoarse voice of defense has long been drowned out... The balance is constantly tilting. At this time, I don’t know where the first one was thrown. Vegetable leaves, potatoes, shoes... all hit the platform one after another.

Joshua stood on the stage blankly, showing no intention of dodge.

...Not far away, at the top of the bell tower.

boom! David punched the wall with his fist, turned his head, his eyes were red: Boss, I will lead people to chop these nonsense bastards to death.

Tang En had a cold expression on his face, looking at the thin and helpless figure below who seemed to be abandoned by the whole world, and shook his head: We have other things to do.

Tang En initially disagreed with Joshua's proposal last night. This is too risky and may not be effective. However, the former showed an unprecedented stubbornness and determination, and the two even had a small quarrel... Narrowing his eyes, Tang En let out a long breath and turned his head to stare into the distance. Josiah, the method is your own choice, I just hope you can persist... Scoff - a voice suddenly came out on the stage.

The sound was really slight, so slight that some people who were about to rush onto the stage didn't hear it, but the square fell into dead silence at this moment.

Everyone felt a flash of blue light in front of their eyes, and then an oval-shaped cover appeared on the girl's body.

Magic, magic shield... I have never eaten pork but I have always seen pigs running away. Magicians are mysterious and noble in everyone's impression. They do not often appear in front of others and cover their faces with robes all day long. But even a child knows that the mysterious magician has a skill that can protect himself-magic shield!

Is she a magician? Are we smashing a magician?

Everyone remained in the same position as before, their fearful thoughts amplified by the magician's chilling and strange attack methods.

With a wave of his staff, Josiah removed the magic shield and ignored the messy things on his body. Calmly said, Someone told me last night that my plan would not succeed because the people are ignorant. I had a quarrel with him... But now, I agree with his point of view!

Yes, you are not only ignorant, but also stupid. Cowards, cowards... you only know how to accept the situation, and you only know how to hide and curse injustice. But you never dare to open your mouth and scream, stand up and start to resist! I look at it, no , up, you”

Speaking word by word, Josiah looked at the gradually agitated crowd around him, with a mocking smile on his lips: What, are you angry? Oh, it's a pity that you only know anger! You know the injustice of reality, and you hope Someone can stand up and solve all this, but you hope that this person is not you, right? Haha, it seems that I was wrong just now, you are not stupid, on the contrary, you are very smart. Well, ridiculous cleverness...

I believe that if Tang En had been at the scene, he would definitely rub his eyes. Joshua's character is not lacking in gentleness, stubbornness, and persistence... but he has never been like this, like a calm and scolding shrew, sarcastic, sarcastic, and disdainful. At a glance... However, such seemingly self-defeating remarks had some unknown effects. The breathing of the people around him became louder, and their fists were secretly clenched... Of course, I don't know who I was going to beat. .

Oh, I almost forgot about you! Josiah glanced at the few people rushing to the steps and curled his lips, Rich businessman? Noble? Noble's lackey? I knew it was you right away!

Do you know why I must smash that red sculpture? Because it is just like you, every pore is stained with filth. You squeeze every ounce of flesh and blood from the poor to enrich yourself. In the end, even the external The color has also turned blood red... Of course, no matter how hard you dye it, it can't change your dark hearts.

I am a magician, not a wizard. But I still curse you. Curse the dead soul on every gold coin in your arms to haunt you for the rest of your life. Until your descendants, descendants...

Having said this, Josiah paused and looked towards the edge of the square with a frown.

Because of the height of the platform, she saw about seventy or eighty guards in neat armor pushing away the crowd and walking towards this side. Further away, there were several noble carriages parked on the roadside, with several people on them pointing at her.

Suddenly, the crowd began to become confused.

The dozens of guards were divided into two teams. One team still moved towards the center, while the other team began to use scabbards and whips to disperse the gathering crowd.

Tang En on the clock tower also saw this scene, and his eyes lit up: Haha, here's the opportunity! What idiot is this? I want to thank his eight generations of ancestors.

Don't underestimate the power of small people, and don't underestimate the power of small events.

Powis had a deep understanding of the former, and the latter will also be fresh in the memory of a few distant nobles.

In fact, these nobles passed by here by chance, but when they looked out the window out of boredom, they discovered these quiet people in the square. After asking around for a while, I found out that the Gray Army was here to promote propaganda.

It's okay, their subsequent actions were very decisive, and they immediately sent people to arrest and disperse them.

In fact, there is no problem with these two tasks. Catching the Gray Army is what they must do. After all, the positions of both parties are there. As for the latter thing, well, if you do it at another time, that's no problem. Although the number of guards is sparse, they are more than enough to deal with civilians who have never dared to resist.

But now, those civilians were filled with anger due to Josiah's cynicism but could not vent it. Originally, they should have attacked Josiah, but the other party was a magician, and what she just said had vaguely lifted their fig leaf, making everyone feel ashamed to take action.

Just then, the guards came over and beat them as usual. This seems to confirm what Josiah just said... You have been bullied and you only know how to submit and don't dare to resist... You are cowards and cowards... Well, it is really hurt for a group of big men to be scolded like this by such a girl. face. Don't dare to resist? Now let me show you again... No one knows who made the move first. Most people only heard a loud roar, Fuck them, beat them! We are not cowards! We are not cowards!

In an instant, there was a surge of people and a forest of fists.

Dozens of armored guards were immediately overwhelmed by the crowds of people, unable to make a splash.

Chaos begins...
