Rekindle the spirit of war

Chapter 53

The bright morning light shines on every corner of the street, but this busy and bustling city has fallen into a different kind of silence: there are no workers rushing to work on the street, and there is no billowing black smoke from the factory's smoke tower.On the contrary, in a certain position, the sound of the engine is faintly heard, which makes people feel flustered.

The thick red curtains block the sunlight outside the window, and countless candles are burning on the chandelier.Negotiations between representatives of common people and nobles are going on in this hall.As Sheen thought, this impromptu meeting did not go well.

"This is ridiculous." A man said contemptuously. "We belong to different classes, and have always been. Now you are dissatisfied with your position, and you are rudely running in front of us with weapons, and want to separate. Your stuff. This is an act of ingratitude!"

Such is the logic of the nobility.Who helped them overthrow the imperial power in the first place?Now they think that all the credit is theirs.Sean said calmly: "We are sensible; we are not robbing. Everyone is serving the mother country, and everyone is the master of the mother country. We are fighting for what we deserve. I Don't think there's anything wrong with that - since you've made promises to civilians."

Another man on the opposite side spoke, speaking slowly: "For your request, we can make a small concession. The working environment of civilians can be improved, and the law can be amended and perfected. But it is impossible to cancel the private army—absolutely No. We have seen the horrors of civilians in the past few days, shouldn't we reserve some power to protect ourselves?"

His statement was echoed.Sean sneered silently and didn't speak.

Adam spoke: "I have lived in this city for decades. I know what your private army has done. They have done nothing meaningful except to harm civilians. Interestingly, every time they The mobilization was all due to the wishes of a certain family, but told the people that it was punishing civilians according to the law. You let the civilians fear you, and at the same time disappointed in the mother country that is completely in your hands."

"I said, you guys, don't you just want to be equal to us?" A young man in gorgeous clothes jumped up.Shane glanced at each other.It was the young Warhawk who had wounded him.The other party was panting heavily, already out of anger. "Isn't it all for this to decide the councilors through popular elections and let us lose the power to own private troops? It's a good idea, but it's impossible! Because you are a group of impulsive and cowardly pariahs, you can only yell. dare not..."

Another middle-aged nobleman pulled the impulsive young man to sit down.The man looked worried, afraid that the people opposite would be angered.Although he, like War Eagle, believes in a point of view.

—The commoners never dare to open fire on the nobles.The new big merchants are the direct object of conflict among the workers, and the people in this land are used to being ruled by the nobles.

This knowledge made the nobles feel unscrupulous; whether they appeared arrogant, polite or aggressive, in essence, the attitude was the same.These nobles are a group of despicable villains. They are good at stabbing people in the back, but they dare not look the brave in the eyes.

Sean realized that Adam was watching him and handed over the decision.Of course he has made a decision long ago, but he does not intend to implement it immediately. "I remember that the military court was proposed by the War Eagle family, and for a long time, you have decided who goes to court and how to make decisions. It is equivalent to the family's private wealth, right?"

The young man on the opposite side nodded proudly.Sean stood up and walked slowly to the window. "In this case, I don't know why this private property that looks like a state institution but actually punishes civilians wantonly is necessary." He jerked the curtain open.

Several airships lined up outside the windows of the parliament building.Under the sun, their streamlined airbags painted silver shine with dazzling brilliance.The views inside the pods were not visible from the lookout ports; they were all occupied by guns and artillery facing outward.

Some people's faces became ugly.They recognized that this was an airship produced by a factory under Vincent's name. The double-layer airbags, pods and airbags were closely connected; unlike the airships used by nobles to travel and enjoy the scenery, they can be attacked in a wider range Smaller and stronger in structure.According to Vincent himself, he built the airship to military specifications to protect the navigator from pirate attacks; of course, it is now known that this guy is preparing|preparing for treason.

It stands to reason that the sinner's factory will be confiscated, belong to the owner, and be taken over by the nobles.But now?The civilians took them first!

Shine smiled and said, "Gentlemen, you thought civilians were afraid to do something. Now you can see what they can do."

As if in response, the sound of a huge explosion came over.The political building stood opposite to the military court. Now, people who are here can clearly see black smoke rising from the simple and solemn stone building, and huge stones burst and tumble and fall.An airship rose from the rear of the building, gradually revealing its entirety behind the cover.

The young Warhawk was dumbfounded.After the shock, he was furious. He stepped directly onto the round table for the conference, rushed to Sean non-stop, and grabbed his collar. "Oh, you wretch! That's a symbol of the state..."

Sean coldly pushed the opponent's hand away. "Please pay attention to your words and deeds, everyone is watching. Isn't that a symbol of your family?"

"Yes, you stupid inferior! That is Warhawk's private property, and you have no right to destroy it!"

"Destruction? Of course we will. But just blowing a hole is not destruction. We want to destroy this private property that is of no benefit to the people."

The young noble realizes that something more dire is about to happen.He quickly moved to the window.A huge wooden barrel fell from the airship and fell into the building along the smoking hole.Maybe the people on the airship did something again, billowing thick smoke gushed out, mixed with the fiery red of the flames.Something was burning there, bursting.Even through the window, he could see the flames of anger eating away at the honor of the warlike family from within, and hear the building moaning in despair at the anger of the civilians.

He is not stupid.He guessed that the workers had used naphtha or some other flammable liquid from the factory.These things burn and explode so easily that not even water can stop their flames.These low bastards.Faster than thought, he drew his gun.

Sean stared at him, his cold eyes frightened the young man.They left civilians in the dark, and now these angry guys are going to drag them into the dark too.He heard Sean say, "Fire, if you like. But I'm afraid a lot of people will be hurt that way."

The youth with guns did not flinch.He convinced himself that the other party had nothing to fear. "Flesh and blood can't defeat a bullet."

Sean's cold and calm expression showed no cracks. "Exactly, just as glass is no more effective than gunpowder."

The young man understood what Sean meant.As long as he shoots, everyone in the house will be blasted to pieces by the guns outside.In his opinion, although the life of a commoner is humble, the life of a nobleman is very noble.

"Let them go. The nobles need not fear the common people, nor die with them. They do not deserve it."

Shane glanced at the speaker.In his memory, the man with blond hair has never been so serious, calm, and mature as he is today.For Sean, Medanzo, who wants to defend something, fight for something, and at the same time maintain his demeanor, may appeal to him more than ever.

Although now they stand on opposite sides.

"I don't want to take the stairs here. The space where nobles exist makes me sick." Sean ignored the angry guy with the gun, opened the window and jumped out.His companions left the conference room in the same way as he did.

The airship was outside to meet them.Sean entered from the cockpit and looked at the interior space.At the rear is the rumbling engine compartment of the machine, and at the front is the cockpit.He walked forward.

The man at the helm turned his head, and Sean recognized him as the puppet that was castrated because of his failed escape.The young man has completely faded away his resentment and gloom, and his face is brimming with confidence.Seeing Sean, he was surprised and happy, and waved him over.But before chatting, he had one more thing to check: "Is the course marker on? We're leaving."

"It's on. I've been watching from here!" The complaining man stared at the compass without moving.

Shane was relieved. "You seem to have realized your talents."

The young man was a little embarrassed.He said while controlling the rudder: "It's nothing. If you want to learn, I can teach you. To be honest, I vomited in a mess the first few days on the airship, but then I got used to it and learned to start the airship, Control the speed and heading..." He slammed the rudder to the right, and then controlled the airship to climb rapidly, straight into the blue sky.

The engine hummed loudly, but Sean heard the sudden, explosive explosion. "They wanted to take us down."

"Yes. The private army of the nobles finally came and opened fire on us. This is a bit troublesome, but it is not difficult to solve. My concern is the battleship. Although it belongs to the national army, the councilors can use it. When they send the battleship Once deployed, things will be difficult. Those things look bulkier than airships, but in fact, they are stronger and more suitable for air combat. Except for their speed, airships have no advantage in front of battleships."

Confirming that he was out of the enemy's range, the boy at the helm lowered the flight altitude, preparing to land at the place where they gathered. "I have to practice more before the real war begins."

"Take me. I have to learn to fly the airship." Sean said, looking through the window at the place where the sky and the water meet in the distance.It was still blue there, but he could imagine the scene in the near future: the propeller rotated at high speed and made a low roar; the huge hull was equipped with cannons on both sides, and the black protrusion like a long sword on the bow was full of aggression.That is the battleship, there may be more than ten ships.They lined up in a horizontal line in the air, making a loud noise like thunder on the eve of a heavy rain.

"I'm worried that they will blow up the city and use this to make us surrender." Sean said worriedly: "A reasonable person would definitely not do this. After all, destroying the people is equivalent to destroying the entire country. But who knows they Can you stay sane?"

Sheehan's concerns are not groundless.At noon that day, representatives of the councilors addressed the city.

"We don't want to use force against civilians. But these people are dangerous, very dangerous. Law-abiding, law-abiding citizens, please do not leave your residences. We have identified where the mob is congregating. If necessary, we will Those are the areas where we're dropping deadly weapons."

As the words blared over the loudspeaker, Sheehan was also cheering on his fellow mates.They sat inside the factory, deaf to the menacing speeches outside.

"We're on our way to victory. We'll be victorious, comrades. But never forget what we're doing. No matter what those nobles do, we'll never destroy a dwelling, or harm our own people—even if They didn't join the revolution for some reason. Don't forget who we are fighting for, and don't forget who the real enemy is."

The storm is indeed coming.
