The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Chapter 497 Breaking through the factory gate

It has long been a tacit understanding that factory owners are not human beings, especially in the concession areas, such lawless areas, where factory owners are no different from local lords.

At first, the onlookers just thought the workers were ridiculous. If you were wronged, it was your own fault because you were incompetent. Who are you waiting for to jump out and take charge of you?

However, more and more workers began to take to the streets, and more and more injustices were exposed.

"When I was recruited, they said I would be paid. I was waiting to take the money to see my father, but the black-hearted factory only gave me a few copper coins and sent me away. My poor father~"

A worker cried on the street with his father's body lying nearby.

Passersby were a little afraid of the corpse covered with white cloth, but were attracted by the excitement in front of them and were reluctant to leave.

"Damn factory owner, my sister just came to deliver me a meal once, and she was targeted by the factory owner, she, she..."

On the other side of the street, a young man was crying while holding a pair of women's shoes. Several middle-aged women passing by wanted to go up to comfort him.

The hustle and bustle on both sides of the street attracted a large number of people and traffic was disrupted.

Just as the crowd was growing, several men wearing white scarves, beating drums and gongs, with sorrowful faces, walked along the road.

They held up a large sign with crooked handwriting describing the injustices they had encountered.

"There are sixteen men working in Xiaoyingfengcao Village, the backbone of the village. Half of them died in an explosion at the Eye of Truth factory! How can we face the villagers? How can we tell them that their husbands and sons died in the factory?"

When one or two people denounce the unscrupulous factory, others will just watch it for fun. But when the voices denouncing the unscrupulous factory become continuous, a sense of crisis of "the lips and the teeth are in danger" will envelop everyone's heart.

As long as you are not an orphan, you will have relatives.

Today, the relatives of these workers have lost their most beloved family members because of the factory.

Tomorrow, these pains may very likely fall on me.

People are beginning to lose their composure, and more and more people are starting to pay attention to workers' rights.

On Jacob's side, he still arranges workers to perform jokes on the streets every day. The plots on his side are all fake, but there are real ones in other factories in the concession area.

The workers working in the Eye of Truth factory took to the streets to publicize their miserable experiences, which soon inspired the workers in other factories.

More and more workers are taking to the streets to expose injustice, and their voices are becoming louder and louder.

In the pubs in the concession area, brave men dressed in workers' uniforms raised their arms and shouted slogans.

"We have put in the work, so we should be rewarded!"

"We need not only wages, but also freedom and dignity!"

"Our families, including our underage children, are all being tortured by the factory!"

"This world shouldn't be like this!"

The members of the brotherhood, led by the brave man, have been committed to helping the suffering people and upholding justice in the past two years.

The name of the Brotherhood is already very famous in the North. Now, the brave man leads the elites of the Brotherhood to participate in the chaos in the central part of the kingdom.

"Brothers and sisters! We want to take back what belongs to us! Follow our footsteps and witness our courage!"

In the rumbling transport vehicle, the brave man held up the holy sword and kept greeting the people around him.

The Brotherhood fighters were sitting in the truck bed, holding their weapons in silence, preparing for the next operation to liberate the factory.

Next to the slowly moving transport vehicle, a large number of workers and their families gathered in formation.

They took out the remaining food and flags cut from rags and marched forward with the brotherhood.

Jacob had been waiting for a long time at the Eye of Truth Factory.

Jacob stood on the office building and observed the convoy through a telescope.

Through the telescope, Jacob could clearly observe the trembling muscles on the brave man's face.

"The hero is too emotionally invested. I doubt he will be able to stop himself later!"

Ethan jumped up, snatched the telescope from Jacob's hand, and looked into the distance curiously.

"Mr. Jacob, I saw the Saint! The Saint is also in the crowd. It doesn't matter if you are beaten to death~"

Jacob slapped Ethan hard, then led his men to the factory gate.

The Brotherhood fighters and the factory guards led by Jacob confronted each other at the gate.

Neither side picked up destructive weapons like ray guns and Yi Tou Bao. They only had farm tools and sticks in their hands, and they looked like young and dangerous guys making an appointment for a fight.

"Who are you? This is the Eye of Truth's factory! Are you here to cause trouble? Do you want to be the enemy of the Eye of Truth?"

As soon as Jacob raised his hand, several magicians pretending to be the Eye of Truth shook their staffs and sent out fireballs.

The fireball hit the Brotherhood's feet, scaring the crowd that came with the Brotherhood and making them retreat one after another.

The fact that Jacob has a magician on his side means that there are many nobles involved in this factory.

Commoners automatically become timid when facing nobles.

The crowd that had just been clamoring to attack the factory together with the brotherhood, now all retreated far away. When the brave man saw this scene, a solemn look appeared on his face.

"We are not against the Eye of Truth, but the Eye of Truth is against us!"

The hero held up the holy sword, with only a handful of Brotherhood members left around him, but he roared without any cowardice.

"Workers like me just want to work well and live a good life, but you don't even give us the most basic rights protection. It is you who force us to resist. We must make the factory give us more reasonable treatment and system!"

The brave man swung the holy sword, and a faint holy light shone on the blade, as if the goddess was praising the brave man's courage.

The holy light released by the brave is not as exciting as the miracles performed by the saint.

But the warm glimmer, like a spark that starts a prairie fire, can also inspire people.

"We must make our voices heard and let the world know that we workers are not beasts of burden! Charge!"

The brave man's holy sword pointed forward, and the driver of the transport truck stepped on the accelerator.

In a panic, the Brotherhood's transport vehicle crashed through the factory gate, knocking Jacob and others who were blocking the door to the ground.

"Let's fight! Take back everything that belongs to us!"

The brave man took the lead and when he jumped off the front of the car, he stabbed Jacob with a sword.

Jacob cursed angrily and ordered his men to fight with the members of the Brotherhood.

There was no technical content in the fight between the two sides, they just swung sticks and hit their opponents.

The fight that took place at the factory gate was watched by the surrounding crowd.

People saw the brotherhood led by the brave man fighting with the large number of factory guards.

The Brotherhood was at a disadvantage, but no one was willing to give up.

Every time a factory thug was brought down, there was a cheer from the crowd, and every time a fraternity warrior fell to the ground, there was a hum of regret from the crowd.

"Get out of the way!"

Several large fireballs exploded in the crowd, and the battle stopped for a moment.

When everyone looked over, they saw that most of those knocked down by the explosion were from the Brotherhood.

The brotherhood's numbers were reduced again, and almost everyone was injured. They gathered around the brave man and confronted the factory overseers led by Jacob.

Just when everyone thought that the Brotherhood was going to give up the fight and withdraw from the factory, the members of the Brotherhood sang a war song together.

"We long for precious freedom and are determined to fight for it. Look at us holding high the flag of freedom and marching forward victoriously!"
