Chapter 371 Retired

"His Majesty has been defeated! Trust me! They will soon flee here. If we open the city and let them in, we will be trampled to the ground by the army of the Eternal Night Empire and the Holy Empire!" A nobleman stood on the street and gave a speech, surrounded by a large group of people.

"But the Sword Empire is very good to us! If we have food and drink and betrayed like this, aren't we shameless? A civilian retorted.

"If I tell you that Lord Brown on the front line has led troops to rebel, and the Sword Empire has been defeated. If you support the upgrade of your empire, you will be executed! Do you still feel shameless?" The nobleman of the speech snorted coldly.

"I have seen the troops of the Sword Empire, such a huge army can't be defeated!" The civilian wanted to argue a few times, but found that two strong city guards had come behind him: "What are you going to do?"

"You come with us, contradict the nobles and spread the words that encourage everyone to die." The two city guards said with a smile.

"You can't do this! The nobles have no privileges!" The civilian shouted loudly and was dragged away by two soldiers, but no one came forward to stop him.

"Does anyone still think there is a future to follow the Sword Empire? Humph! To tell you the truth, General Brown and I have discussed that as long as we don't let the soldiers of the Sword Empire into the city, they will continue to retreat. The city guards of the four cities to the west are all pro-Eongye Empire or pro-Holy Empire! This time, the emperor of the Sword Empire is dead!" The nobleman said proudly.

"Down with the Sword Empire!" A strong man encouraged in the crowd.

There were few responders, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Everyone did not like the suggestion put forward by this nobleman. The reason is very simple. It is not good to follow the Holy Sword Empire to eat and wear, but it is not good to follow this stupid X.

The noble kicked away the box next to him, and a box of dazzling gold coins appeared in front of the crowd. Looking at everyone's eyes shining, the nobleman shouted proudly, "As long as you agree to my plan, this box of gold coins is yours! 3 per person! If it's not enough, I will continue to open the box and send it! As long as you help me and the city owner defend the city wall! These are yours!"

The crowd finally made a buzzing discussion. The gold coins in front of them are a real benefit. It will take at least three years to see a clue in the future depicted by the Holy Sword Empire. Many people think that it is more reliable to take three gold coins first.

"Give me gold coins! I want 3 gold coins!" A poor beggar shouted loudly. He rolled and crawled to the front end and hugged the three gold coins handed over by the big man without thinking about it, with a greedy face.

"If we do this, the Sword Empire will not take revenge, will it?" A civilian looked at the gold coins and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Fool! The law doesn't blame the public!" A civilian has begun to move forward: "What can the Sword Empire do with so many of us? At most, it's just trouble for the city owner!"

"Yes, yes! With so many of us, how can they all be investigated? The Holy Sword Empire seems to have lost this time. We can't fight for them now, can we? Another said.

"Yeah, that makes sense!" More ignorant civilians nodded.

"What if the Sword Empire comes back?" A timid woman asked.

"Stupid! At that time, we will surrender again. Anyway, didn't the Sword Empire say that it was for the happiness of our civilians? Then they will suffer some losses. Isn't it just right for us to get some benefits? A fat man with glasses spoke. He held a book and looked like a knowledgeable person.

"You are still smart! That's it!" Groups of civilians gathered around and took away one gold coin after another, and the whole town was happy.

Such a thing has happened in various areas of the province of Arlant, because the front line has been defeated, and the spies of the Eternal Night Empire and the Holy Empire in the province of Arlant can't wait to jump out.

When the sword empire troops led by Arcado retreated exhausted from the front line, they found that all the roads seemed to be blocked.

The wide roads he painstakingly managed have become one dead end after another, and the cities connecting these roads do not open their gates to let their own troops enter.

Countless civilians stood at the head of the city and looked at the crooked sword empire soldiers under the city with indifferent eyes.

"The lord of the city is still right! The Sword Empire is defeated! They really lost! Look, we bet right, right? If we support them, it's our turn to be unlucky now. The Eternal Night Empire and the Holy Empire will kill us all!" A civilian looked down the city and said.

"Oh, it's hard to see an army that is close to our civilians, but I didn't expect to be defeated! What a shame!" Another civilian commented.

Acardo stared at the indifferent faces on the top of the city and didn't know what to do for a moment. Are these the people he wanted to save? He fought bloody on the battlefield, and his Tessa died in the distance. What is all this for? What on earth is it for?

"Wait until the coalition arrives! Two more gold coins for each person! From then on! Arante is the richest province!" The nobles who encouraged the crowd on the street stood up again and shouted loudly.

"Oh! OK! Long live!" Excited shouts broke out among civilians, which is a gold coin that many people can only earn for half their lives!

It's hard to imagine the scene of an empire's army that after being defeated by its own city on the front line, it found that the city behind it had hung a white flag and cheered for its failure.

Almost all the soldiers of the Sword Empire clenched their weapons and silently looked at the proud nobles and rebels in the city. They were waiting for an order. As long as their emperor ordered them, they would kill them into the city and survived.

However, the moonless army has chased far away. If it attacks here, it will easily be surrounded by the main force of the enemy. Arcado finally gave up his plan to attack the city and continued to walk on the road far away with his soldiers.

With three points of unwillingness, with three points of puzzlement, with three points of pain and sadness. Tessa, your life has been exchanged for the ungratefulness of this group of bastards! Don't worry, if I can come back, none of these people can run away! Yes! No one can run away!

"McVlon! Let's go!" Arcado looked into the distance and said softly.
