The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 40: Raising troops today

As questions and answers were asked, the captured soldiers told everyone present about the kingdom's current situation, and everyone fell into deathly silence.

Borrowing soldiers, marching, and being bombarded by magic.

Countless clear details were repeated one by one by the other party.

Everyone present, one by one, clearly understood their position as ordinary people.

The kingdom's army was thus divided and destroyed simply for personal ambition.

Just for their own ambitions, they were able to ignore the invasion of the Lizardmen from the Eastern Wasteland. It could even be said that the invasion from the Eastern Wasteland gave them an opportunity.

From the beginning to the end, no one cared about what would happen to the people in the country.

"My fellow countrymen..." Abes paused for a long time before speaking again, "Does this country have a future for us?"

If, at the beginning, Abes just wanted to form his own army to attack cities and capture strongholds like the normal gameplay process of "Spirit Realm".

He had set his sights on the small kingdom of Wommza, where he was, purely for the sake of the game.

Now, Abes clearly understood the necessity of his actions.

It's not for entertainment, it's more of a humanistic choice.

This is what the true ninth art is... Abes thought to himself, and when he quit to take a break, he would definitely write a long review for this integration pack.

"I don't know the history of the North." This is the truth. As a "player", Abes really doesn't know the parts that are not presented in the game. He can only get a general description through the words of others.

All the knowledge about the North was acquired by Abes and Kronos after spending a week together.

"But I can tell you that the North is definitely not a land polluted by the blood of demons and devils. The people of the North should not live and die in humiliation under the ambitions of these people."

"Some people always say that it was the temptation of the devil and the erosion of darkness. However, this should not be the reason for some people to indulge their ambitions and bully the people of the North."

"I'll say it again. I'm never sure if I'm the hero from a thousand years ago. But even if I'm not, I have to speak out based on human conscience. No one can trample on our dignity at will."

"You may say, Lord Abeth, I just want a piece of bread, a bed, and a job."

"Yes, you are right. The need for survival comes first. But I want to tell you that there are many things that are nobler than the instinct for survival. They are freedom and dignity."

Abes became more and more excited as he spoke, and the people in the audience listened intently.

"You, you came from Silvermoon Farm. The direct reason why you ended up in this situation is the Lizardmen, but the fundamental reason is that General Paddy did not send troops to guard the border in order to wage a civil war!" Abes pointed at Kronos and said to the silver-haired girl.

Then, Abes looked at Gaviling again. This child who came from the hungry people gave him many surprises.

"You, you are a refugee from the natural disasters that bankrupted the surrounding towns. The direct cause was the inexplicable drought that resulted in a total crop failure. The more profound cause was the magical effects left by the devil, which caused magma and blood to flow out of certain places."

"But there are many other reasons, such as officials lining their pockets, that you did not receive disaster relief and recovery assistance."

"For example, the Second Dynasty should not have asked for the devil's help, allowing them to exploit loopholes and bring the North into hell and the abyss for hundreds of years!"

"General Paddy sold out our safety for his own power."

“Officials have sold out your possibility of a decent existence for their own wealth.”

"The Second Dynasty in the distant past sold out the future of the people of the North as normal people for the sake of their own rule."

"There are women and underage children in our team. Although I did not force this, I still feel very sad about it."

"As long as we need to put women and children at risk of taking up arms, our dignity and freedom will not be complete!"

"As long as the influence of demons and devils continues in the North, our dignity and freedom will not be absolute!"

"As long as the regions that our ancestors pioneered and unified, such as the North and Central Plains, remain fragmented, impoverished and weak, our dignity and freedom will not exist!"

“And the most ancient justice tells us that when evil is done, it must be retaliated.”

"Raising the fist of revenge against non-root causes will not save everyone more quickly or perfectly."

"Our revenge should be directed at those fundamental reasons, first of all, we should target the small kingdom of Womuza."

At this point, some stubborn people still asked, "Lord Abes, can't we be more peaceful, go to the capital to report the situation, and be a civilian and be done with it?"

Abes shook his head sternly.

"What we need is definitely not to go to the capital and report the situation to the king."

"After all, if he assigns you to new lands, you will still be exposed to danger because of the general's ambitions."

"If he grants you citizen status and places you in the town, then the magic effect somewhere might erupt again, and you will become famine refugees."

"If he showed mercy and gave you the highest-paying military rank, you might get hit by friendly fire without knowing what was happening and lose your life without even realizing it."

"If he gives all of you noble status, you won't even have to be a soldier, and talented children can enter the Mage Tower. Then either he has an infinite treasure trove of gold, or the status of a noble will quickly degenerate into waste paper."

"Even if he really did it, then soon, with his depleted national strength, he would be swallowed up by the other kingdoms in the north, and we would eventually fall into a similar disaster."

"Now the generals are rebelling and alien species from the Eastern Wasteland are invading. If you just wave your flags and shout, and stay in peace in a corner, you will eventually be crushed into powder with your bones by these fighting evils!"

"What we should do is to use the deafening power of swords and weapons to join their struggle and make all of them tremble!"

"Crush all those who want to betray others and burn them with the flames of revenge. Only in this way -"

"Only then can we obtain true dignity and freedom!"

Abes glanced at everyone in the audience, and after a brief pause, everyone came to their senses and raised their hands and shouted.

"dignity!"

"free!"

"revenge!"

Seeing the emotions of the people around him rising as planned, Abes breathed a sigh of relief.

He never expected that playing the integrated package connected to AI for the first time would make him so excited.

It was as if he was really the leader of the army, not just a lousy game player.

It's different from those old generation games where you can convert all manpower into troops when the stats are reached, and then win by just going f2a.

Although this kind of realistic emotion is a bit slow to heat up, it gives "players" a rich gaming experience.

Under Kronos's admiring gaze, Abes lowered his arms and uttered the words he had been preparing since entering the "game".

"Let's start the war today! Let's burn the North to ashes..."
