Chapter 814: Intensification of the Riot (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a recommendation)

"We're going to work! We want bread! ”

"We don't deserve to starve! We don't deserve to be treated so unfairly! ”

While the masked mage was in action, the church was in trouble. After receiving the notice from the council, the major churches of good gods immediately sent people to prepare to stop the continued spread of the riots, yes, immediately, in fact, at the beginning of the riots, the major churches of good gods have already begun to take action, but except for a few neutral or chaotic and good churches began to do their best to stop the riots, the other good churches of order are very conscious to maintain restraint, and there is not much surplus, after all, they have not been authorized by the council.

In Askatra, the actions of the churches are restricted, and all their big moves need to be reported to the council, so according to the law, the churches with good order can only exercise restraint. Sounds, doesn't it? But that's exactly what happened. Because the law is the embodiment of order, especially the church of the guardian god Heim, who regards order as the only standard, if there is no permission from the council, they can even watch the blood of the killing outside.

It's the chaotic camp and the neutral camp, which are much better, and their camp decides that they can care about the law at all.

Finally, after the parliament's request for help, the main forces of the major order camps immediately rushed to the center of the riot, preparing to eliminate the riot, for them, the riot not only disrupts the order, but also will cause many innocent people to be harmed, so no matter which aspect of the situation, they can't sit idly by.

It's a pity that before they succeeded, they were blocked at the intersection by a group of yellow-faced and thin-skinned civilians, unable to advance or retreat. Every one of these civilians is full of anger, they don't know what order is and what chaos is, they just know that they want to live! Now they believe that only by fighting can they have a way to live, just as those people advertise, and only by letting the old men in Ascatra see how great the power of the people is, their treatment can be improved!

At this time, the people of the Church were also seen by the common people as accomplices of the Council, at least they were now helping the Church to suppress their "reasonable" struggles. Therefore, under the guidance and instigation of well-intentioned people, many civilians blocked the major intersections in the temple area, and blocked the power of the church at their own doorstep.

Even the members of the Knights of the Warmest Heart, who had just arrived, didn't know what to do.

On the one hand, the suppression of angry civilians was obviously not in line with the norms of goodness, and on the other hand, they who advocated order could not allow the riots to continue, and the Grand Master Saint, Witherland, could only sigh slightly, and retreated back to the temple area with the battle-hardened knights.

He knows very well that no matter which side he chooses, the paladins of the Knights may fall into guilt and contradictions, and gradually slide into the abyss of depravity, so it is the wisest choice to return to the headquarters and wait, although he doesn't care, he has become an avenger anyway, and he no longer values order and chaos, but other paladins can't! So he can't help it, no matter what, it's better than a large group of paladins depraved.

Seeing the retreat of the paladins and the ulterior motives hidden among the people, they were unusually happy, who said that the goodness of the confrontation order must rely on force? In fact, the best way to deal with those people in the brainless camp of order and goodness is to coerce the people!

There is a saying that the masses are always blindly obedient, people's IQ and the number of people are always inversely proportional, a group of people get together, and the IQ is not as good as a three-year-old child, such as the Nanjing smashing and looting incident.

Don't look at the power of the people, but as long as they gather together, they can completely make the major order and good churches helpless.

The crowd saw the retreat of the major churches, and the atmosphere became even more excited! They see their "power"! In the past, the high-ranking knights and priests could only choose to submit under their power! So a group of ordinary people who have always been cautious are simply an unprecedented experience, and they find that they actually have so much power! As a result, the overly excited people began to vent their dissatisfaction unscrupulously in order to show their "strength", and soon, the people who originally protested began to vent, and then completely became real thugs!

The scale has grown to this point and is no longer controllable by anyone, and the tyranny of the majority is even more terrible than that of the dictators, because in their eyes, the law does not hold the people accountable, and everything they do now will not be punished! So they don't have any scruples at all, and they vent the evil desires in their hearts to their heart's content!

And this effect even exceeds the expectations of those who have other intentions! There were many coolies who were honest on weekdays who dared to rush up to the well-trained guards, and then snatch all the weapons, armor and money bags from the other party, and strode forward with a roar, and the hideous faces were completely like a different person.

unimaginable disaster!

But that's exactly what those people want!

"Kill these bitch profiteers!"

"Amm is the Amm of all Ams! It's up to us to make our own decisions! Let's not oppress! ”

"We're going to work! We want bread! ”

"Raise your salary! We want more paychecks! ”

……

A terrifying number of people looted the shops along the street and shouted slogans, sweeping the entire dock area, shopping mall area, and bridge area like locusts crossing the border, causing damage that can be described as nothing to be done, and many merchants from other places were looted, sitting on the ground and crying loudly.

It can be said that the city known for its commerce has been devastated, at least until the situation is stabilized, no merchants will come to do business again, and the local merchants will also know the current affairs and flee en masse, in short, this riot will cost everyone, whether it is the troublemakers or the high-ranking nobles and merchants.

Parliament has apparently finally taken note of this. From the very beginning of the riots, the lights of the parliament building had not been extinguished, and all the people were negotiating and calculating, especially the six-member council at the top, who had lost their sense of mystery and held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the immediate crisis.

They all know very well that it is best not to use violent means unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise even if it can be suppressed, it will cause great harm to Askatra, and once the commercial capital loses these cheap labor, it will immediately become a second-rate city, and even the geographical location will not be able to reverse the collapse of the economic system. What's even more terrifying is that if that time really comes, maybe the foundation of the six-member council to maintain the entire Amm will also collapse!

None of the people who were able to enter the highest ruling class of Amm were fools, and they all knew how grim the form was, and they all had gloomy faces, and their eyes were almost on fire.

After a long silence, one of the councillors took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "Let's talk about what we should do with these mobs." ”

"Don't ask! Expelle them now! Then catch the mastermind behind the scenes! Grab all the shop-destroying guys and put them in the dungeon! Apparently the speaker who opened his mouth had suffered a lot of losses, and his statement was not so much about saying a solution as it was about adding fuel to the fire. Of course, there was more than one person like him present.

"That's right! Be sure to hang that bastard publicly! Also, how could those mud legs manage to this extent? There must be something wrong with this! Someone must be behind it! Examine! Be sure to check it out! ”

……

If they don't open their mouths, they will take a tough attitude towards the members of the parliament who are holding back a fire when they open their mouths, as if they will not give up until they wipe out the people outside.

Seeing that the people around him were shouting angrily, a person who had never spoken sighed slightly, slapped the table vigorously and roared loudly: "Enough! I didn't call you here to make a fuss! But now is not the time to vent! Look out the window! The armed mob has numbered more than 20,000! And nearly one-fifth of the entire population of Ascatla has also begun to stir up! We have to come up with a solution right away! Instead of playing each other here! This is no longer as simple as making trouble for the people! If these people are not appeased, it is more likely that we will be hanged tomorrow!! ”

With this roar, the room suddenly fell silent again, and these usually high-ranking big people were suddenly deflated, and they could only sit down speechlessly, covering their faces and sighing. They don't know that what they just said is all nonsense, it is impossible to achieve it at all, they know the big things, it is precisely because they know the big things, they will be so angry, in fact, they say that they are angry, it is better to say, they are frightened.

No one expected that things would have developed to this point, originally tonight, they would all go to rest, but they didn't expect that Zhengxiang, who was sleeping, was called up and said that the whole city was rioting. This TM was completely unprepared, and if it weren't for the messenger's swearing, they would have thought they hadn't woken up dreaming.

How the hell did this happen?!

If they knew that all this was just because a cult leader slapped his head and caused a series of chain reactions, would they vomit blood and die?

After an embarrassing silence, the councillor who had just roared spoke up, "What does the Masked Mage Guild say? ”

As he said this, his eyes were fixed on a councilor, who was the descendant of the legendary mage Tebil, and of course he had to ask him about the masked mage.

Although the parliamentarian who was being stared at could not see his face because of the mask, he knew from the low air pressure around him that it was impossible to achieve the expected effect.

The masked mage's answer was that the civilian riot had nothing to do with magic, and it was not an invasion by a foreign enemy, and the masked mage had no right to interfere. It's up to us to solve this problem. ”
