Chapter 976: Protests are Everywhere!

The autumn rain poured non-stop

Dark clouds enfolded Casabianca’s sky and rain had been pouring continuously for three days Bane lifted his head and gazed at the sky sullenly Ie-cold raindrops fellhis scrawny face But this was nothing to hiaze to the parliahts were shi+ning behind the s

Five days had gone by and up until now, the parliament didn’t have an official response for their requests yet Meanwhile, athered in the plaza Bane was a soldier of the northern war zone and the arainst the Country of Darkness Not only that, but he had also lost an arm and was forced into retirereat After losing the war against the Country of Darkness, the Country of Light had been facing exceptionally challenging days Many refugees and physically-abled people couldn’t find jobs, not to h on his way to Casabianca, hehand, it wouldn’t be sufficient in the long terence analysis, unlike the retired soldiers ere strong enough to still become mercenaries As a result, he could only retire and head home It should have been this way The truth was that his so-called hoer existed after his hometoas invaded by the Country of Darkness

Bane’s only hope was to receive his rightful compensations and spend the rest of his life in a peaceful land But he didn’t expect that this little wish of his was about to vanish coues that the et cuts, he are that things were far froood Unlike the stubborn soldiers, he understood the internal situation of the Country of Light really well, being in the intelligence departuessed that this would happen sooner or later He intended to get his hands on his co the chaotic election and leave the country But he didn’t expect to lose to luck

It was due to this reason that when he heard that soldiers were gathering at Casabianca, he braced hi hie the parliament’s decision This was his only path left

As the long days passed, the feelings of excite at Casabianca were no longer present Those emotions were replaced by concerns and uncertainty

“What’s wrong, Bane? What’s with that expression of yours, like you had a nightmare?”

“Sir Defoe”

Bane saluted to the stouthi his hand airily “No, stop I’m a retired soldier like you This isn’t the military so there’s no need for formalities”

“Yes, Sir”

Despite that, Bane’s attitude was still as respectful because Defoe was one of the athered the soldiers Bane didn’t know if Defoe gathered the soldiers to Freedoe after cohly respected a veterans Bane had even suspected that ‘Defoe’ was only a pseudonym After all, this protest didn’t involve only retired soldiers, but also veterans of other territories Even though Bane thought of investigating Defoe’s identity, he forwent it thereafter because, after all, everyone was here as soldiers with a coanization, so as there for hi so pale? Are you sick?”

“N-No, Sir Defoe…”

Bane hesitated and said softly

“I think the situation isn’t looking good”

“Oh?”

Defoe widened his eyes

“Is anything the matter?”

“Yes, Sir I inquired about the rumors about us and found that most people supported us But… There are also bad ru “Soainst the parliarunted with knitted brows, his aged face revealing obvious wrath Bane stiffened instinctively But even so, he braced hi After all, the situation was truly horrendous

“So I suspect that… the parliaainst us They often do it and there arein Casabianca everyday In fact, I feel like the parliament can’t fork out the money in the short time And the problem is that most of us can’t survive until they hand out the coazed at the broken, tattered tents and let out a long sigh This , there were a dozen retired soldiers who closed their eyes forever due to illnesses and starvation Many of the for food froetables froreat for them anyhow, not even for the people of Casabianca The retired soldiers did their best to ensure that they wouldn’t starve to death because if they were sick, they wouldn’t have the ht now, they could either resist or die The continuous rainy days brought illnesses to ious Under such circumstances, the retired soldiers could only wait for the compensation to rescue themselves Bane was sure that the problem wouldn’t end unless the parliament handed them the money

“Do you think they will chase us away?”

Defoe narrowed his eyes at the soldier Bane nodded

“Highly likely No h the people of Casabianca support our protest, no one can be sure of ill happen in the near future Besides, there are critically-ill soldiers everywhere and people of the city are afraid that the diseases are contagious So if the parliament requests us to leave for the sake of health and safety, the people won’t object As for the es in Defoe’s expression, he continued

“Even though we’re retired soldiers, the h spot now so I don’t think they will rely on us to overthrow the parliament and their support is also liree as the situation isn’t too horrible, perhaps thechased away No matter what, we are retired and it isn’t in the interest of the military for us to turn the country into a chaotic mess”

“Interest, interest What do those bastrds know other than interest!”

Defoe curled his lips

“He after so many years Those military asshles only kno to bark I knew that they weren’t useful at all!”

“One , Sir Defoe…”

Bane hesitated

“I heard… we’re intending to sub that she will solve the problem for us”
