Steel, Guns and the Industrial Party Across the World

Chapter 266: agitate

The carnival—or chaos is more appropriate—continued until the evening, and after everyone was exhausted, the area around Fabe Village became quiet.

Although the body was tired, everyone was still in high spirits, and everyone found a lot of good things.

Everyone gathered in the Baden family's mansion, showing off their achievements today. People intend to return to their villages after a short rest.

Kevin was the only one in the crowd who didn't take anything. He worriedly gathered together a few people who usually had a high reputation in the village.

He told his worries: they are robbing Fabei Village, and the lord will definitely not let them go.

Everyone seemed to be poured on their heads by a basin of cold water, and their fiery hearts immediately cooled down.

When the accumulation of resentment exceeds a certain threshold, the impulse overwhelms the reason and does things that he would not dare to do on weekdays. However, they forget that there is a higher being who maintains the order in Arda, although this order is oppressing them.

Someone murmured and asked, "But...but...wasn't it Baden's mistake first? He also killed our people. Several of the people who were hit by the sling never woke up again."

Kevin shook his head: "But obviously our [crime] is more serious. The lord will definitely punish us first if he finds out."

There was a resentment in his heart, resentment for why the villagers were so impulsive and why they couldn't be more rational.

When everyone was searching around in confusion, Kevin didn't think that he would go to Fulan Port to report to the city hall and ask the mayor to send someone to maintain order, but after thinking about it, he stayed and waited for everyone to calm down, and then Let's figure it out together.

"Haha, brother Kevin, what [crime] is too serious."

Just as everyone was frowning, a voice came from the side.

A man with sly eyebrows came over, and Kevin frowned even tighter. He recognized this man, Peso—a rascal who was idle all day in the village.

"It was the landlord Baden who first set up heavy taxes behind the lord's back, which made us unable to survive. That's why we did such an irrational thing. Besides, so many of us participated, have you never heard of a saying called 'The law does not blame the public'?"

Kevin pointed out solemnly: "The current lord is a strong person, which can be seen from the fact that he has overcome all kinds of difficulties and wiped out the pirates."

Biso shook his finger: "Even if he wants to investigate, what can he do with us? Hang us all? Or arrest them all for hard labor? We gathered young and strong laborers from several villages and arrested us all. , what about the old and weak women and children in the village? Does he take care of us?"

A circle of people looked at Bisuo, and what this kid said seemed to make sense.

Bisso proudly said: "Will the lord bear a reputation of [harshness] for a wealthy and unkind landlord? How will the bard spread him--the villagers were forced to rebel by the landlord, but the Earl indiscriminately put the rebellious All were hanged."

Everyone nodded secretly. Bisuo, a boy who usually wanders around without working, has accumulated a lot of knowledge unexpectedly.

After he said this, the worry about his own life suddenly eased a lot.

Just when everyone loosened their brows, Peso became serious: "However, all of our gains today will definitely be confiscated and returned to Baden, or...received into the lord's own pocket."

One sentence made everyone cover their pockets hard.

"No one can take away the treasures in my bag!" Someone yelled immediately.

They are really poor and frightened, and they suddenly gained wealth, even if they risked their lives, they wanted to keep it.

Kevin covered his forehead, he already had a premonition of something bad.

Sure enough, Peso waved his fist and said, "Everyone, why don't we 'negotiate' with the lord! The ill-gotten wealth of the Baden family was collected by searching for people's fat and anointing on weekdays. We have the right to occupy these wealth, because it is originally What Baden snatched from us is now just returned to the original owner."

"Enough!" Kevin scolded angrily, "What do we use to negotiate with the lord? He can summon an army to deal with us!"

"Kevin, you are so cowardly!"

Pesso refuted him "righteously": "We have a large number of people, and we have also seized a large number of weapons from the Baden family. We are an army ourselves, and of course we have the capital to 'negotiate' with the lord."

"Have you forgotten how the pirates in the Northwest Bay were eliminated?"

"Then do you still remember Edward, the former great pirate leader? He is an existence that makes all the lords in the Northwest fear."

Peso ignored Kevin, and their quarrel had attracted many people to gather around.

He shouted to the people around him: "How did the pirates in the Edwardian period make the lords fear? There is only one secret, and that is [unity]. They twisted into a rope and gained strength far beyond the individual. Edward disappeared Afterwards, the pirates fell apart ~lightnovelpub.net~ so they were defeated one by one."

"Folks! We have already gathered people from several villages. As long as we can get together, the lord will have nothing to do with us. He will finally accept our request and allow us to keep the wealth that should belong to us!"

"Everyone, the destruction of Baden has already witnessed our strength. Let's see, even a big landlord like him can't stop our strength of unity!"

Everyone's hearts were heated up by Bisuo's words. That's right, the great landowner Baden, who seemed to be invincible on weekdays, also turned into a wild dog running away with his tail between his legs under their joint efforts.

lord? Isn't the lord the bigger landowner?

These people only circle around the village on weekdays, and the farthest place they have been to is the villagers of Fulan Port. They don't know how big an earldom is, how many people there are in the territory, and they don't know that their lords can call How many troops.

They can only speculate based on the most powerful force they have ever seen—the Baden family.

The landlord Baden was easily beaten away by them, so if the lord disagreed with their request and sent troops over, it might be more difficult to fight off the lord's army, after all, they were stronger than Baden.

So everyone shouted: "Unite! Negotiate with the lord!"

Since Arda lacks the grassroots feudal lords with villages as their territories, the peasants living in the countryside do not have an intuitive feeling of the power of the lord on weekdays, and their obedience to the lord's decrees is more due to the accumulation of generations down the habit.

If it was in other territories, the probability of such a thing happening in Fabei Village would be very low, because the villagers would be suppressed by the knights living in the village when they first gathered, and there would be no chance for multiple villages to connect with each other.
