Chapter 302: Officials Force the People to Revolt (3)

It was obvious that Virgil couldn't be out for long.

Although Apu currently trusts him very much and almost regards him as his most intimate and loyal subordinate, due to Apu's cunning and suspicious character, Virgil has to be on guard against the possibility that there may be people left by Apu in the dark to monitor him.

So even though Virgil really wanted to find a pub and have a good drink with Ron, he had to give up the idea. He couldn't even stay in front of Ron for too long. He just said a few words and turned away immediately.

However, Virgil's words gave Ron an important clue.

That is, Anthony Andre was also involved in Apu and Holt's plan.

There were more and more enemies, and it felt like the entire Granville and all the people who had a grudge against him were gathered together.

Of course, from some aspects, if all the enemies could be eliminated at once, that would naturally be the best option, but Ron also had to consider one problem, that is... whether he could eat it.

With so many top experts gathered together, it would be difficult for him and Agnes to cope with the situation, even if Christian was added to the mix, it would be hard to deal with them.

By the way, why did Anthony appear here? Could it be that the repairman intervened again?

Apart from the repairman, Ron really couldn't think of anyone else who could give orders to Anthony, a guardian of destiny who was so arrogant.

But Ron had to doubt.

Apu and Holt are both ambitious people who are absolutely unwilling to be inferior to others for long. Can they really cooperate together?

What's more, Augustus has a grudge against Holt.

Dominic has a grudge against Augustus.

Even if they used various incentives to force so many people together, could they really work together? Moreover, there was also a troublemaker like Virgil... well, the mastermind behind the scenes. This so-called cooperation was probably full of cracks right from the beginning.

Ron thought for a long time and finally smiled.

The same thing, fight if you can, run if you can’t, kill as many as you can, anyway, he won’t lose in the end.

…

Two days is not a long time, it passes in a flash.

The agreed time is tonight.

In recent times, the atmosphere in the city of Granville Adams has been quite strange.

On the one hand, there are rumors that Her Royal Highness Dolores, who stands up for the people, has been placed under house arrest by King Holt 474 using despicable means, as if he wants to deprive Her Royal Highness of her military power.

Recently, many border army generals have begun to appear in the royal city, and there are even reports that large armies are gradually moving towards the royal city, which indirectly confirms this point.

This made many people lament in their hearts that finally someone in the ruling class who was nicer to the common people appeared, but as expected, he was targeted right away.

On the other hand, the death of Grand Duke Egbert and his eldest son Butler gradually spread in Adams.

Although the deaths of these two people were quite tragic, one was grabbed by the head and smashed to death, and the other was eaten alive...but rumors tend to become more and more outrageous as they spread. In the end, news came from somewhere that the bones of both people were removed and taken home by civilians to make soup.

According to legend, using the bones of these two people to make soup has an aphrodisiac effect.

As a result, in the past two days, countless furtive figures have appeared in Adams City, selling the bones of Grand Duke Egbert and Butler everywhere. Although those bones look like pig bones, the sales seem to be quite good. According to rough estimates, the amount of bones sold is not enough even if the Egbert family, more than a thousand people, were slaughtered.

On the other hand, the aristocracy was extremely angry about this matter.

Although the dead were Grand Duke Egbert and his eldest son, without the protection of Grand Duke Egbert, a legendary six-star master, the Egbert family's original industries and interests would inevitably be divided up by other nobles.

This is even a good thing for other nobles.

However, the fact that commoners dared to resist and even kill nobles aroused the anger and even vigilance of all nobles.

If they dared to kill Grand Duke Egbert this time, they might dare to kill me next time.

This trend cannot be allowed to continue.

The nobility are naturally the ruling class, and the common people are naturally enslaved animals. This is a truth that has not changed for eight thousand years and must not be overturned at this time.

Isn't it just bullying men and women, burning, killing and looting? What's the big deal? It's outrageous and treasonous that common people dare not allow themselves to be bullied by the aristocracy.

This tendency must be nipped in the bud.

Because of Dolores's actions, the increasingly tense relationship between the aristocracy and the royal family suddenly eased because of this incident. In terms of civilians, the two sides reached a consensus in the shortest time.

After all, no matter how the royal family targets the aristocracy, it can only weaken it, and it is impossible to uproot it.

But it is different for the common people. When they go crazy, they really dare to eat the nobles alive.

This is a conflict between classes, and there is no room for weakness or mercy.

What's more, these nobles and royal families no longer regard common people as human beings, and every decree they formulate is to torture them to death.

As a result, during these two short days, a decree was issued almost every few hours, and spread to every inch of Granville's territory in the shortest possible time.

The first decree was to collect all the soldiers in the country and prohibit civilians from owning iron and copper tools...

As soon as the decree was issued, a large number of armies composed of nobles' private soldiers went door to door to collect kitchen knives, axes, shovels, hoes and other items.

The second decree prohibits all civilians from reading, learning magic, and martial arts...

The third decree prohibits civilians from possessing armor, even wooden ones. If discovered, they will be charged with treason.

The fourth decree prohibits civilians from holding positions above the rank of centurion in the army and from holding any management position in the government.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Article 5 of the Decree...

As the decrees were passed down, the people were immediately in an uproar. They had no idea which idiot had made such a decree. Could it be that the common people could not even eat? How could they cut vegetables without a kitchen knife, chop wood without an axe, and till the land without a shovel or hoe?

Children from common families studied hard, and although it was impossible for them to cross the class and become aristocrats, they could at least become government officials and enjoy a fairly decent salary.

Or, you can learn some magic and martial arts and become a mercenary or adventurer. The income there is much more than working in a factory or in the fields.

But now, not to mention that the upward channels are blocked, even the roots are pulled out.

When Ron heard these orders from Agnes, he was stunned. He really didn't expect that Holt, such a cunning guy, could make such an outrageous law. He was a talented man, was he crazy? But after thinking about it, Ron understood that Holt, the king, had long been accustomed to not treating the people as human beings. In his eyes, he might even think that these laws were not strict enough.

But these commands have absolutely no effect.

It is of no use at all except to arouse greater anger among the people and trigger more civil unrest.

He thought that since he controlled the weapons of the entire country, he could enslave the civilians of the entire country. However, he did not expect that once the anger of the civilians was completely aroused, even if they had no weapons in their hands, a bamboo pole could still stab you, the king, down.

Things turned out just as Ron had expected. In just two days, there had been more than a dozen large-scale gatherings and demonstrations in Adams King City.

Under normal circumstances, these commoners naturally did not dare to rebel against the nobles and the royal family.

Not to mention resistance, as long as you are not beaten to death by those arrogant and domineering nobles, it would be a blessing in disguise.

But this time it was different. First, Grand Duke Egbert and his eldest son were slaughtered in the street, which made the people suddenly feel that the nobles were not so powerful.

Coupled with this series of government decrees, the people have lost all hope of survival.

If you can't even survive, why bother caring so much? And every large-scale protest will attract a large number of noble private soldiers to suppress it. These noble private soldiers have obviously been infected with the habits of the nobles. Although they are not members of the upper class, they look down on these ordinary civilians.

He came up with a shiny knife and chopped down dozens of people.

They originally thought that these civilians were cowardly and if they killed a few dozen leaders, the remaining civilians would probably scatter immediately.

However, they never expected that the blood would make these civilians red-eyed.

A large number of civilians rushed forward like crazy. Even though these private soldiers had fairly good martial arts skills, they could not display their strength at all in the crowded streets. They didn't even have time to wave their weapons a few times before they were grabbed tightly by the desperate civilians. Then a large number of figures rushed forward, punching, grabbing, throwing stones, and all kinds of messy methods. It didn't take long before these private soldiers who still had some martial arts skills were turned into a pool of meat sauce.

This large-scale resistance also made many small nobles tremble in fear.

They were not like the marquises and dukes who had thousands of private soldiers. They only had dozens of guards. Once the mob rushed over, how could they withstand it? In fact, the mansions of several lords and barons had been attacked, and the family's property and food had been looted.

It can be said that in just two days, the entire Adams King City was in complete chaos.

There seemed to be a heavy and oppressive atmosphere floating in the sky above the aristocratic district.

This kind of repression is particularly serious in the palace.
