MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 614 : Territorial riots

"Land, we want land!"

"Tricked us to come and settle down, but didn't give us the land, and even talked about the right to use it for life. Isn't this just trying to turn us into serfs!"

"We want to see the lord, let that greedy lord come out!"

At the gate of the Lord's Mansion, crowds of people gathered, shouting their appeals. If it weren't for the new army soldiers lined up at the gate of the Lord's Mansion, they would have rushed in.

In the lord's study, watching more and more people gathered outside, Alice grabbed Livia's clothes uneasily. If these mobs rushed into the lord's mansion, she didn't dare to think about what would happen.

After all, women as beautiful as them are rare in this world.

Livia also held her younger sister's hand tightly, her body trembling slightly because of fear, and there was nothing they could do about this situation.

I can only hope that Simon's men can handle this matter well.

In the study of the Minister of Administration, Deborah, the Minister of Administration, Gratton, the head of the first regiment of the New Army, and Boulder, the deputy head, also looked at the outside world through the window at this moment.

"We can't let them continue to make trouble. I will come forward to communicate and persuade the leader." Deborah put down the teacup in her hand and said with a gloomy expression.

Ever since Simon led most of the army and left the New French Territory with great fanfare, the turmoil in the territory has become more intense, and it broke out completely today.

With farmers as the main body, craftsmen and merchants as the assistants, countless people gathered at the gate of the lord's mansion, asking the lord to agree to their demands.

There are mainly three aspects, distributing the ownership of farmland, opening up the industrial technology of the territory, and further reducing business taxes.

But because farmers have the largest number and account for 99% of the protesters, their voices are also the strongest.

Watching Deborah turn around, Gratton clapped his hand on his shoulder, grabbing his shoulder and not letting him go.

"What's wrong?" Deborah looked at the two suspiciously. These two cousins ​​who had known each other since childhood gave him a subtle feeling today.

"Hey, why are you so stupid?" Burd sighed helplessly.

This guy has been very smart since he was a child. Among the descendants of Grand Duke Gaseppe, he seems to be the second eldest besides Guy, but why does he grow more and more stupid?

It's this time, and I still can't see the essence of this matter...Even Graton and the stunned wood can see it, okay!

"Simon took away the guard regiment that maintained the order of the territory, and only left the regiment stationed on the eastern defense line. Is it just for unnecessary actions?" Graton said expressionlessly.

Deborah was taken aback for a moment, and then her complexion became complicated.

Of course he guessed something, but he didn't want to think about it. The taste of blood on his hands was not good.

"Those gathered people are definitely bewitched by other forces. As long as they speak clearly, the riot will definitely be quelled!" Deborah said, frowning.

Generally speaking, as long as the people are not at the end of the mountain and have nowhere to go, the people will not spontaneously gather to initiate riots.

Taxes in the new law are extremely low, and the people's lives are richer than those in other places. If there is no secret guidance and demagogy from other forces, it is absolutely impossible for the people to riot.

"My God, what are you thinking?" Bullard held his forehead speechlessly, and said, "There are so many backbones in the territory, and Simon only left the three of us. Is this just a coincidence?"

Among the high-level backbone of Xinfaling, the three of them are the least concerned about reputation.

Gratton doesn't care about anything, a typical nihilist, he Bulder is already full of bad water, insidious and cunning, and morality is nothing to him.

Even Deborah, who has been with Simon for a long time and whose IQ has been severely reduced, was also very black-bellied before meeting Simon.

There is no more suitable candidate than the three of them to suppress the rioting people...

Whether it's Siegel, Alyosha, or a retainer like Galken, they all have their own bottom line in their hearts.

Needless to say, Harris is a knight only in knight biographies, with full moral value.

Count on these people to suppress the mob, it would be good if they don't fight against you.

"But..." Deborah still showed embarrassment. After all, he was just a bachelor with no strength, so it was difficult to make such a cruel choice.

"Deborah, none of us have a choice. Simon is a **** for the royal family to maintain the balance of power. We are Simon's retainers, and we stand where we should stand!" Graton said coldly.

The king needs Simon to integrate the southern border as his capital to resist the pressure from the northern lord, so Simon will be like a changed person after returning from the king's capital, busy non-stop and unscrupulous.

All he did was to solve this mess as quickly as possible.

The former New Law Territory was just an independent territory. The lord Simon can allow instability in the territory, because even if there is a problem, he can easily solve it.

But once Simon integrates the southern border and becomes the leader of the southern lord, the new French territory will no longer be an independent territory.

It will become the hub connecting all the territories in the south!

Once this is the case, the new law leader will surely face many troubles and challenges. If this time, the internal instability is still allowed.

If it breaks out at a critical moment, no one can afford it.

To solve these unstable factors, we must either sort out and persuade them slowly, or use force to suppress them before they are brewing to the extreme.

In order to quickly integrate the southern border, Simon took three steps at a time. He is about to become the boss of the southern border lord now. Where there is time, he can ease the conflicts within the territory.

So, he chose to use force...

No matter what the consequences are, as long as the conflicts are temporarily suppressed and survived the first few years, when the situation stabilizes, there will naturally be ways to slowly resolve these matters.

That's where Simon stands!

And the position of their retainers is to faithfully perform their duties and help Simon solve all troubles!

Deborah's complexion kept changing, and finally it turned into a sigh, looking at Gratton and Bulder with complicated eyes: "Are you sure?"

"Oh, what do you think?" Burd smiled happily.

 …

Somewhere at the gate of the lord's mansion, a group of people mixed among the gathered crowd, without any sense of disobedience.

"Hey, you have caused so much trouble for the new leader this time, won't Lord Viscount show no signs of it?" Someone asked with a frown.

"Of course not!" Although the man in the middle smiled and comforted him, he cursed in his heart, these rats are simply greedy!

If the lords want to do things secretly, it is not enough to rely on their own intelligence spies, and they have to use money to hire traditional underground forces, such as gangs, guilds, thieves, killers, etc.

These people only do things based on money, and if they don't have money, they will turn their faces and deny people immediately, so the nobles hate them very much.

But at the same time, the nobles are also the main customers of these people. Without the employment of the nobles, these rats hiding in the ground cannot be so moist.

"But we heard that Viscount Cochrane's castle has been captured, and even he himself was arrested by Marquis Simon, can he still pay him?" Someone stared at the man in the middle with fierce eyes.

This time they were completely cheated. Out of distrust between the two parties, the mission rewards were issued one by one according to the progress of the mission.

As a result, halfway through the mission, all the employers were arrested, leaving them speechless.

"Don't worry, nobles never put all their eggs in one basket. Even if Lord Viscount's castle is robbed, the wealth buried elsewhere will still be enough to pay you." The man in the middle laughed again.

"Hmph, it's better that way, why don't we let him know what will happen if he doesn't pay!" Someone threatened viciously.

The one in the middle smiled helplessly, but didn't reply.

The others were about to ask again, but the movement from the Lord's Mansion attracted their attention.

"Everyone, I'll just say this once. Everyone disperses immediately. After an hour, those who still gather at the gate of the lord's mansion will be regarded as a riot!" Holding the loudspeaker that Simon thoughtfully left behind, Deborah shouted vigorously.

"Tch, what did we do, why should we be found guilty, this **** lord really treats us as serfs!" Someone among the crowd shouted loudly.

According to the Kingdom Law, the serf's life and property belonged to the lord, and the lord could judge whether the serf was guilty or not with a single sentence.

But free people, that is, civilians, have the right to personal freedom, and they must clearly violate the laws of the territory or the laws of the kingdom, otherwise the lord cannot arbitrarily convict them.

"According to the new law, those who organize large-scale demonstrations and gatherings without permission will be punished with three to five years of hard labor depending on the severity of the circumstances!"

Deborah was still very serious, and she did a law-enlightenment for the gathered people. Although she had decided to suppress it, she still had to do superficial work.

Moreover, most of the people gathered here were bewitched. If some of them could be persuaded to go back, that would undoubtedly be the best result.

"Cut, what kind of **** law is this, I'm standing here, I haven't done anything, why should I be convicted!" Most of the people still dismissed it.

Only a small part chose to leave when things went wrong.

Seeing this situation, Deborah didn't bother to say nonsense like the law is sacred and inviolable, what do you like!

In the final analysis, the knife is always in their hands. If you want to refute that they are wrong, please hold a stronger force in your hand first.

The opportunity has been given, if you still don't listen, you can only seek your own death.

Amidst the increasingly insane shouts of the people, time passed by every minute and every second.

Finally, the people who were completely immersed in this atmosphere could no longer bear the silence of the Lord's Mansion. Someone picked up a stone and threw it on the soldiers of the new army at the door.

The overwhelming throwing objects followed closely behind, and the soldiers at the gate of the lord's mansion were smashed to the ground in an instant.

Looking at the dial with no time, Deborah breathed a sigh of relief, at least this way she didn't feel so guilty.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!" Graton blew the copper whistle expressionlessly.

The gathered people looked at each other, not knowing why, but the next moment, the windows on the floors of the houses near the Lord's Mansion were opened, and a rotating machine gun leaked out~www.novelbuddy.com~ As the core of the territory, near the Lord's Mansion, There have never been private houses.

There are only new army outposts disguised as civilian houses!

Da da da, the machine gunner shook the wheel, and the rotary machine gun spun and spewed out flames. The gathered people were in a mess, fell down in pieces, and began to flee in panic.

"Not good!" The spies who had been hiding in the crowd and guiding the public's emotions suddenly widened their eyes.

The lord is not here, how dare the officials of the territory do anything, there are nearly 10,000 people!

"Uh!" A gunshot mixed with the sound of machine guns made a spy's chest bleed, and then he touched the wound with his hand, and fell down in disbelief.

From the nearby commanding heights, Squirrel and Quick Arrow led the members of the intelligence department to appear, aiming at them with a simple sniper-modified rifle.

Relying on the Moonlight Church's intelligence system, Xinfaling's intelligence department is not just for nothing. Although they can't find all the mice, most of them can still accurately grasp their appearance and whereabouts.

Simon, who has always liked dimensionality reduction strikes, has been in control of the situation from beginning to end.

 …

Afterwards, there was a mess in front of the Lord's Mansion, blood flowed like a river, Twilight brought a group of mysterious people in cloaks to collect the bodies of these people.

If you take off the cloaks of these mysterious people, you can see one after another of ugly stitch monsters with disgusting smells, and only one of them is a real living person.

It was exactly what Simon encountered in his previous adventures, and later brought it up from the dungeon of the Moonlight Church...

Necromancer Jovanna!

Dissecting the corpses of barbarians cannot be completely compared. The body structure of various parts of human beings needs new experimental materials to complete the human structure that Simon said.
