Chapter 441: Uprising
God knows what kind of trouble they want to cause.
After the meal, the journey continued. Teclis hoped to visit the acting manager stationed in Middenheim to restore the reputation of the slandered group.
Although the empire's legal system is like a decoration at this time, most people still prefer to live in the light without hiding.
On the last leg of the journey to Middenheim, Lynch had the opportunity to witness the strike movement becoming more and more intense, and even the army and mages were alarmed by the protests in the village.
The situation is within controllable range, but more and more businessmen feel the injustice, and more and more workers also taste the bitterness of injustice. Just a few words can make their lives, which were once possible, become extremely difficult.
It is said that this idea first emerged a month ago, and now it has been completely ignited.
The hunters and farmers were just irrelevant spectators, but unfortunately the hot-blooded people were too easily affected by emotions, and soon they joined the wave of protests without knowing the reason.
Some businessmen from other provinces also mixed into the crowd, but a few smart ones chose to protect themselves.
It sounds like there have been more than one protest here, just never on this scale.
As he looked around, the settlements surrounding Middenheim were all discussing something about the power of the nobility. Lynch knew that the officials of this city were in trouble, and that was all trouble.
Craftsmen and civilians hope to get a higher status, merchants hope to reduce the silver they give to nobles and abolish some laws restricting trade. Dwarves do not participate too much in human affairs. They have long been recognized by the rulers. If necessary, dwarves can establish a dwarf territory in Middenheim at any time.
The Dwarves have been allies of the Empire since Sigmar's founding.
They were not too worried about the local officials. After all, among the dwarves, if the king was too unrestrained, there would be dwarves who would protest in silence.
It's just that their human friends seem a little too excited.
Lynch guessed that the priests of Ulric who remained in Middenheim were not awake peacefully. They probably didn't know when the taxes suddenly became heavier, and why the system that had lasted for nearly two thousand years suddenly caused widespread dissatisfaction.
Lynch was unwilling to stay in the increasingly chaotic thoughts for long. Now he felt like he was bathing in colorful dirty water. The various thoughts of mortals seriously affected his connection with the world. He almost ascended to the Supreme Heaven passively.
Even though a lot of young and strong men were drawn out for the war, those who remained were enough to form a wave of trouble.
They were stronger than calves and had the energy to visit taverns all day long, so the local taxes must not be too heavy.
Sure enough, when the soldiers and mages arrived, the troublemakers quickly disappeared.
They have no intention of changing anything.
The ones who shouted the loudest were the outsiders, but Middenheim's tradition easily resolved all disputes - those who were not convinced would stand up and argue, and the one who was still standing at the end was the one who was right.
The locals obviously preferred bloody clashes to verbal protests. When the speakers were dragged through the streets by the soldiers, the people who had previously "responded" to them all stood by and watched, and some even laughed happily.
It was simply a farce, but Lynch saw the heaviness in some people's hearts.
People with insight are worried about the recurrence of the incident. Naturally, many people also hope that the changes can be pushed through to the end because they will benefit in the end.
Only the villagers became innocent. They were influenced by various thoughts and incited by various slogans to raise the flag and stand for others.
Who knows if someone will succeed in stimulating the existing contradictions and completely split and transform the empire that is plagued by internal and external troubles?
That could be a good thing, but more likely, the empire will end completely after the change occurs.
Humans aren't the only ones hiding in the dark.
Fortunately, the faith in the gods still exists. As long as the people of the Empire can proudly declare themselves to be the heirs of Sigmar, the empire will still exist and will not end up falling apart.
People's riotous behavior made it easier for the archmage to satisfy his needs, and he successfully met the person in charge before he even stepped onto the suspension bridge at the foot of the mountain.
The trouble of the refugees was solved in a few words. Although he was prejudiced, Bishop Yurik who stayed behind was willing to give face to the founder of the Imperial Magic Academy.
What Lynch was concerned about was Priest Sigmar who arrived in Middenheim with them, and the knight who was rescued halfway.
They deliberately avoided the soldiers, and the knight seemed to want to see the bishop, but was stopped by the priest.
The two wizards who set out for Middenheim early in the morning inadvertently exchanged glances with a mage. Their silent communication was so focused that Lynch didn't wait until he discovered that Teclis was also in Middenheim.
The theory of elements still failed to come to terms with the theory of the eight winds of magic.
By the time the wizard and the battle mage separated silently, the carriage Eugen was in had already arrived at the bridge over Middenheim.
From Lynch's perspective, the mountain on which the entire Middenheim stood was like a giant protruding castle. The top of the mountain seemed to have been cut off by an invisible force, allowing humans to successfully settle down on it.
The mountain is surrounded by a circle of low hills. You can cross the ravine and reach the hillside where Middenheim is located by walking on a wide stone viaduct.
The steep cliffs separate the mountains, making the ravines like natural moats.
The mortals of Middenland always use Ulric's miracles to explain the existence of Middenheim: in the beginning, before the history of the empire was born, the White Wolf God Ulric guided the migrating Teutonic tribes to the Central Mountains and established their homes at the end of the Central Mountains extending westward.
The devout Teutons were harassed by omnipresent wild beasts, attacked by wolves, and surrounded by endless blizzards.
Even when they were tortured to death by various irresistible forces, they never gave up their faith in Yurik.
So the satisfied Lord of Winter smashed the mountains with one punch and ignited his divine power on the highest mountain - an inextinguishable blazing white flame, the divine fire that could purify the spirit and forge the will.
It is not a flame that sets everything on fire, it only burns the soul and burns the hearts of the cowardly.
Lynch slowly raised his head, and his inhuman and more transcendent perception allowed him to see the fire directly. The towering mountains could not stop it from meeting Lynch, and the crowded crowds could not stop the divine revelation.
Just as he stepped into its radiation range, Lynch had a premonition.
A warrior who will never be defeated head-on stands on the mountain. He is as cold and ruthless as winter, more cruel and vengeful than a pack of wolves.
I think the other party also sensed Lynch's presence. This is a mutual process.
A bad premonition took root in the hearts of the lizardmen. Yurik did not seem to be a hospitable god.
