City of Nolan.

A few hours earlier, Vina had completed a call to public opinion in a downtown park.

In addition to tens of thousands of residents, thousands of infected people in Nolan were also present.

...

Regardless of her identity, Vena's words touched everyone present.

Victoria needs to accept infected people, or rather, infected people are part of Victoria's composition.

Natural disasters are merciless, no one wants to be infected with ore disease, just imagine what kind of mentality you will have to seek refuge when your friends, family members, or even yourself are unfortunately infected.

.....

Vena's words brought tears to the eyes of the infected in the city, and they felt from the bottom of their hearts that this heir of the royal bloodline who commanded the rebellion really treated the infected as equals and treated them as citizens.

"Long live Queen Vena!"

I don't know who shouted the first sentence, and then, the sound of the mountain and tsunami erupted in the crowd.

"Long live Queen Vena! Long live Queen Vena! Long live Queen Vena! ”

Infected by the emotion, ordinary residents other than the infected people also joined the shouting queue one after another.

The inhabitants are not fools, and while the Empire's decision to purge the infected is beneficial to them, the process of execution seriously threatens their lives.

The inhabitants of the south have a sense of humility since ancient times, and the lives of the inhabitants of the south have always been poor compared to the economically developed north.

Now looking at the chaos in the south, they really feel that it doesn't matter if the infected people are cleared or not, and it is the right thing to stop this turmoil as soon as possible.

However, it is impossible for the empire to stop, so if you want the rain to pass the day, you can only hope that Queen Vena can resist successfully.

....

Seeing that more and more people in the audience are willing to support her, Vina is sincerely happy.

But at this moment, the Central Army, which was suddenly approaching from the north outside Nolan City, completely disrupted everything.

....

The Central Army is not a good one, and their mission is undoubtedly to completely control the city, kill the infected in the city, and if they know that Vina is also in the city, they will definitely kill her at all costs.

The well-trained, well-equipped, and murderous army on the other side, the unarmed infected had no capital to resist at all, but this time, they did not choose to escape.

"Protect Queen Vena!"

At the first call, everyone, young and old, looked angry and picked up anything that could be used as a weapon.

Sticks, shovels, poles, spatulas, and even stones on the side of the road, the infected spontaneously rushed to the city gates, blocking the road into the city with their bodies.

The more oppressed people are, the more they will be like this, and when they have experienced the ugliest side of human nature, as long as someone treats them a little kindly, these miserable people will repay it a hundredfold.

In the face of a surging army, they are willing to swear to protect the queen in their hearts.

....

In the face of such an unfavorable situation, Vina did not panic in the slightest, if some words were just words, then this person deserved to be king.

Throwing away the microphone and grabbing the hammer, the face that was ninety percent similar to Verin was filled with a murderous aura that Verin would never appear.

Later, Mesa and Indra took a lot of effort to drag Vena, who insisted on defending the city gate with the infected.

....

Top floor, the tallest government building in downtown Nolan.

Vina was guarded in the innermost room by Mesa, Kate, Indra, and dozens of military district guards.

They knew that General Ormon would soon know about the surprise attack on Nolan City by the Central Army, and they only needed to hold out until the reinforcements arrived before the city fell completely.

However, the military and police of the local guard bureau could not be called a defensive force at all, and they did not even plan to fight with the army.

According to common sense, the city of Nolan will definitely be attacked without much effort, and then this unit of the Central Army will conduct a carpet search of the city.

However, hours passed, and not a single soldier of the Central Army actually entered the city.

....

At the two gates in the northwest of Nolan City, a large number of infected people have gathered.

They are usually discriminated against, but at the moment they are fulfilling the slogan they just shouted with ordinary residents.

Thousands of infected people used rudimentary weapons against the regular troops of the Central Army, and their crippled bodies stood in front of sharp knives and guns.

In the face of crossbow arrows and long-range bombardment from the spell team, a large number of people fell in pools of blood, and then, many more people stepped up.

"Hold on!"

"Don't let them threaten Queen Vena!"

"Fellow citizens, it doesn't matter if we die, as long as Queen Vina is alive, there is still hope for us infected, she let us know that we are Victoria's nationals!"

In the face of wave after wave of army charges, large swaths of the infected fell, however, the high will did not waver.

The sound of stubbornness is getting louder and louder, and everyone's face is filled with the determination to die.

...

The secret advance team of the Central Army numbered only 3,000 people, almost the same number as the infected in the city.

However, the gap in equipment is very different.

The infected in Nolan are not as strong as those in Mota, and most of them are women and the elderly.

Even if there are individuals in the crowd who can use the Source Stone Technique, they do not have a Source Stone, and if they forcibly use their physical bodies to activate the Source Stone Technique, not only will the effect be very poor, but their already weak bodies may die of organ failure on the spot.

Until yesterday, they had never thought of desperately resisting the Empire's expulsions, and most believed that as long as they could live humbly, it was better than anything else.

It wasn't until they had just heard Vina's speech in the city center that they understood.

If it was just to live, many people could have not died.

.....

General Gleason of the Frontier Military District, tens of thousands of soldiers who died in the Battle of Canaan, including the rebel army that is now united and intends to confront the Empire.

If they were just trying to survive, they could either flee Victoria, or obey the Empire's orders, including Queen Vena, who told them about it herself.

However, they didn't.

Justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and when the ruler of a country deviates from the trajectory of the people's hearts, everyone should correct it, not run away.

Only in this way can the country continue, the world can continue, and the civilization of the Terra world can continue.

....

The humble infected have never developed any loyalty to the royal family, because they know that the royal blood does not regard them as "people" from the bottom of their hearts.

But now, a man with pure royal blood in his body has appeared, and for the survival of the "infected", he has launched a revolution that shakes the empire.

When someone else is in danger for you, what reason do you have to abandon them and run for your life?

....

A middle-aged man was holding a wooden stick at the gate of the city, his body was scarred, but as soon as he stepped back to breathe a sigh of relief, he gritted his teeth and went up again.

The backs of those who went to the front line with him were resolute, but in the sight of death, there was a trace of regret.

"Hey, I didn't expect us to die here, but it's worth dying, the only thing that I am unwilling to do is that before I died, I didn't say thank you to Lord Xia Feng, who has been taking care of our infected people."
