Travels to the Holy Light Continent

Chapter 56: The City of Freedom

At night, I held a banquet in the City Lord's Mansion to entertain the barbarians and the soldiers of the Blue Dragon Legion.

"Master, you are very impressive today, but what should happen next?" Roger asked.

"Tomorrow I will have my first decree carved on the city wall, and then we will tear down all the gates around us!"

"Tear it down? Master, if someone attacks us, we won't be able to defend ourselves!"

"If there is no enemy, why would we need to defend?"

"Young Master, this place is not like the imperial capital. In addition to the elves and dwarves, there are also the two major countries of Chu and Qi. If they start a fight, we will never be able to resist with our three thousand Qinglong soldiers and ten thousand barbarians!" Grandpa Wang advised.

"I know. Bring us the slaves we detained today!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the soldiers brought all the slaves over.

"Hello, I'm Xuanyuan Qingyun, the city lord of Plato. You can go back after dinner tonight!" I said

"Are you going to kill us?" one of the slaves said.

"No!"

"So what do you want us to do?"

"I only need you to do one thing, and even if you don't do it, it's up to you. I want you to go back to your hometown and tell your people that Plato is a place without slaves and oppression. If possible, please bring your specialties to me to trade. I will protect you, and you set the price!" I said.

"What do you get for that?"

"I can get a free city. I want to let everyone in the entire Holy Light Continent know that Plato will be their only hope when they are desperate." I said with a smile.

"It's easy to say. Doesn't the Holy See spread freedom and peace every day? But don't they do dirty things too!" said a slave.

"I don't need to prove anything to you. I've also told you that you don't have to do it. It doesn't matter whether you want to go back or stay here, because you are no longer slaves."

A female Winged Man stepped forward and said, "I will tell my people about what happened here. Your deeds are worthy of praise. You are doing something that even the God King cannot do!"

"In my opinion, we are all equal. Maybe we come from different backgrounds and there is no absolute fairness, but I hope that everyone can be equal as members of the Holy Light Continent."

All the slaves knelt down at the same time. At this moment, they were no longer kneeling in humiliation but to express their gratitude.

More than a month passed like this, and many slaves returned with their tribesmen and their specialties. The first to arrive were my grandmother's tribesmen, who also brought the hides and magic cores of the animals they hunted, as well as the fruits unique to the Elf Forest. The second to arrive were the dwarves, who brought a lot of armor and weapons, and their first order was the giant sword I made for the barbarians.

As more and more races arrived, they also brought their soldiers. I did not stop them, but I signed an agreement with every leader. They can send soldiers to protect their people, but they must abide by my rules. All races that violate the rules will be expelled. Plato is a city of freedom, not a city of chaos. Freedom is relative.

Your Majesty and the other six major clans sent all the people in need mentioned above. I settled them all down. I asked the retired soldiers to guide the soldiers, and those who could farm to farm. For those who really had difficulties, I would also find ways to let them do things. Here, they regained their long-lost dignity!
