Chapter 36 (2/2)

The young man showed a mysterious smile with a kind of fanaticism and worship in his eyes.

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

North of the westerly Kingdom, Netherland, early morning.

Countless wooden towers have been built in the endless wilderness. Huge bonfires are lit on each tower, and the firewood is crackling. Under the towers are gray tents arranged in order, but this is not the point.

In the middle of the wilderness stood about 50000 soldiers in black armour. They were arrayed in a neat square array. Without saying a word, they stood up solemnly, waiting for orders. Flags of various colors and Emblems fluttered slowly in the morning fog, representing countless families and people in the area.

In front of the vast school field is a high platform built by huge stones, and more than a dozen figures in armor are waiting quietly. Some of them are little nobles in nideshire, some are soldiers in the Kingdom, and more of them are civilians in this land.

Today, they are not here to play, but to carry out a life and death event, which is not only related to the future existence of the families present, but also directly affects the future fate of tens of millions of people in niedershire.

Yes, they are going to hold high the flag today and launch an uprising and rebellion against the Kingdom's centuries long rule!

It's not that they have chosen their fate, but that thousands of people in nideshire have chosen them. These mountain people who have lived in this land since ancient times are bold and uninhibited. Since the Kingdom conquered this place, digging mines and digging boulders, niedershire provided a lot of steel and precious metals for the rise of the kingdom. However, the people here did not get corresponding returns after their hard work and efforts. Most of the profits were shared by the great nobles of the Kingdom, and more and more tasks were assigned to niedershire.

These hardworking mountain people risked their lives to dig in the dark mines, only to support their wives and children, so that their elderly father could eat better. But just this little wish, now it has been cruelly broken. The Xifeng royal family has raised the tax rate again. This year, they will turn in more ore and steel to make armor and equip the army to suppress civil strife. If the amount is not enough, they will be accused of beheading, and this will become the last huge stone to bend the camel.

A man in all black armor stepped up to the stage. He took off his helmet and showed his face. There was a scar on his left face. The man who looked mature and fierce was Pullman.

Pullman, once a naive boy, has now become steady and powerful. He holds a big sword, thrusts it upside down on the stone platform, and then slowly scans these determined soldiers. Like him, they were born and grew up in this land, and today they are going to lay their lives on it.

Pullman took a deep breath, and then a loud voice spread across the field.

”Fellow citizens of Netherland, we stand here today to tell the world!”

”The mountain people of nide are free and uninhibited. They will no longer bow down. They will straighten their back. They will wash hundreds of years of oppression with iron and blood!”

”Since we were born, we have been forced to obey. The Kingdom treats us like a cud dog. It's as cheap as it is. It's tortured by the ruthless rules to this day.”

”People who are called lowly people are ridiculed as black and gray fools. In this case, we will turn into beasts in the dark and take back the stolen things.”

”Trample on ridicule and shame.”

”Even if we are met by brutal slaughter.”

”We also need to fight with trapped animals and tear open a way of survival with blood and teeth!”

The curtain on the high platform was also lifted at the moment. On the huge banner with blue background, there were three golden morning stars. Under the stars, there were books. Two ears of wheat were around on both sides. The morning sun rose, broke the fog and gilded the brand-new flag.

More than a dozen leaders on the stage were all born in this land. They stood behind Pullman and watched the solemn scene. They raised their right hands and swore with their compatriots.

”I hereby swear that I will form a brother of life and death with my compatriots present, entrust my life and back to each other, and fight for the future of the ned mountains until I die!”

The clear sound of sword drawing comes and goes, and the sound of oath resounds through the sky.
