Autumn rain continues.

The thick clouds enveloped Casablanca. The continuous rain had lasted for two or three days. Bain raised his head and looked at the sky above his head with a melancholy gaze. The cold raindrops fell mercilessly from the sky and hit his slightly thin face. But for Bain, all this was nothing. He withdrew his gaze and looked at the parliament hall next to him, where he could vaguely see the light of the shining lights.

It has been five days, but until now, the Council of Light has not yet responded to their request. However, more and more people gathered here. Thinking of this, Bain couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. He was originally a member of the military headquarters of the Northern Theater Command. In the previous actions of the Kingdom of Night, his troops were basically wiped out. Bain himself also lost one hand and was eventually forced to retire.

Life after retirement was not easy. Let's not mention the issue of relief funds. Because the defeat caused by the invasion of the Kingdom of Night has made the Kingdom of Light itself extremely difficult. Many refugees cannot find jobs at all, and those with healthy limbs are like this, let alone those with physically disabled people like Bain. Although there was no one who extended a helping hand to him who was physically disabled on the way to Casablanca, it would be better to say if it was just a temporary help. If it was a long time to work, it would be another matter. Moreover, since Bain himself was doing intelligence analysis work and did not have enough strength to be a mercenary like those veterans, he could only choose to retire and return home - although this should have been the case. But in fact, for Bain, the so-called home has long disappeared. His hometown was completely destroyed when the Kingdom of Night was invaded so that there was no residue left.

The only thing Bain hopes for now is to return his own relief funds and find a peaceful place to spend the rest of his life. His only goal now is that. But Bain did not expect that even his little hope would be completely gone. After learning from his colleagues in the military that the payment of relief funds was stopped due to insufficient budget, Bain realized that something was wrong. He was different from the stubborn soldiers around him. Bain, who was born with intelligence, knew very well about the situation in the country of Light, so he had long guessed that such a thing might happen. Originally, Bain planned to take advantage of the chaos in the election to get his relief funds and then leave here immediately. But he did not expect that in the end he lost to luck.

Just as he thought this was the case, after hearing that the soldiers were gathering towards Casablanca, Bain could only grit his teeth and come here. Although reason told him that even if these soldiers gathered, it would be unlikely that they would change the idea of ​​the parliament. But now he had only this way, otherwise he would really starve to death.

But now, as time passes day by day, the excitement and expectation when I first came to Casablanca has disappeared, and replaced by worry and anxiety.

"What's wrong? Bain, you look like you have a nightmare?"

"Mr. Difoer."

Looking at the man in front of him who had one leg and a little fat with a crutch, Bain hurriedly saluted him respectfully. Seeing Bain's reply, Di Fuer waved his hand with a smile. "No, no. I'm the retired old guy like you now. It's not an army here, so there's no need for so many polites."

"Yes, sir."

Although he said this, Bain's attitude was still very respectful. For no other reason, it was because this Lord Difour was one of the main figures who gathered the soldiers. Bain didn't know that it was the other party who summoned these soldiers to Freedom Square. It was only after he came here that he took on the job of the person in charge. But it was certain that this fat old man had a very high reputation among the veterans. Even Bain suspected that "Difour" was just a pseudonym of the other party, after all, this time it was not only involved.

The soldiers who had just retired were implicated, even some veterans from other places. However, after they came here, they would salute him respectfully when they saw Di Fuer. From this point of view, this person has a very high reputation among veterans. Although he had thought about finding out about the other party's identity, he finally gave up. After all, the one here is just a temporary miscellaneous army, not a formal organization. Everyone came here for the same goal. Why bother to think so much?

"What's going on with your face? Are you sick?"

"No, no, Lord Difoer..."

Facing the other party's inquiry, Bain hesitated for a while, and then he replied in a low voice.

"Frankly, I think the situation may not be very good."

"oh?"

Hearing Bain's answer, Difour's originally narrowed eyes slightly opened.

"Is there any problem?"

"Yes, sir, I just went out and asked about the rumors and rumors about us around, and most of them still supported us. But... some bad rumors also appeared." Bain hesitated for a moment before continuing to speak. "Some people say that we gathered together because we were incited to confront and subvert the Council of Light..."

"snort!"

Hearing Bain's report, Di Fuer snorted coldly and frowned. A little obvious anger appeared on his old face. Even Bain, who is also a soldier, instinctively felt his body stiffen a little when he felt the anger. But even so, he still bit the bullet and continued talking. After all, so far, the situation has been very unfavorable to them.

"So I suspect...the Council of Light may be fighting us. They do this often, and now there are more and more people gathering in Casablanca. To be honest, I also think that Council of Light cannot provide this money in a short time. But the problem is that most of us may not support them when they come out."

Speaking of this, Bain looked at the dirty and worn tents in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. So far this morning, dozens of veterans had closed their eyes forever due to illness or hunger. More people were completely penniless. What they could do was to get some food from the kind-hearted people around them, or go to the market to get some rotten vegetables and leaves to cook in water. This was their limit. Life was hard to live anywhere, even the residents in Casablanca themselves.

The same is true. In this case, these veterans are doing their best to ensure that they are not starving to death. If they are sick, they will have no money to treat them, either withstand or die. Especially since the rain has been going on these days, many people have been sick. Considering the danger of infection, in this case, the veterans are waiting for the relief fund to help their lives. If the Council of Light says that they can't afford the money, then Bain can be sure that things will never end here.

"You think they'll expel us?"

Hearing Bain's words, Difour narrowed his eyes and stared at the soldiers in front of him and asked. Bain nodded.

"It is very likely that, in any case, although the citizens of Casablanca still support us in a short period of time, no one can say what will happen if it takes a long time. And now there are serious patients everywhere, and everyone is afraid of being infected. Therefore, if the parliament requires us to leave with safety issues, the citizens will not object. As for the military..." As for the place where he said, Bain paused and looked at Difuer. After seeing that the other party's expression had not changed, he continued to speak.

"Although we are all retired soldiers, the military also supports us. But they are still in a difficult situation now. I don't think they will think of relying on us to overthrow the Light Parliament or something. So their support is also limited. If the parliament and the military reach an agreement, as long as it is not too big, the military may turn a blind eye to our expulsion. No matter what, we have retired. Now, it is not in the interests of the military to cause chaos in the whole country for us."

"Enterprise, interests. What else do those bastards know besides interests!"

Hearing this, Di Fuer raised his beard in dissatisfaction, and a little angry face appeared on his face.

"Hmph, those guys used to be like this. It hasn't changed at all over the years. I guess so too. The guys in the military just shouted happily. When they really made them come forward, these guys became timid. I've known for a long time that they were useless at all!"

"There is one more thing, Lord Difoer…………….”

Bain hesitated when he said this, but he still spoke.

"I heard...we are planning to show love to His Majesty of the Dragon of Light, hoping that she can solve this problem for us?"

“……………………………”

This time, Di Fuer did not answer immediately. Instead, he stared at the young soldier in front of him carefully. Feeling the pressure of Di Fuer, Bain couldn't help swallowing a saliva. While being watched by the old soldier, Bain only felt that everything around him seemed to be still. Even the raindrops above his head seemed to be frozen in the air. He didn't even know how long it had passed. Until the old man slowly opened his mouth again and was about to say something...

"Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da!"

The crisp sound of horse hooves broke the silence on Liberty Square. When Bain heard the sound of horse hooves, he felt his heart sinking. He quickly turned his head and looked around. Then, Bain's heart suddenly sank, because he saw that through the rain curtain, teams of cavalry were coming from all directions, and they began to isolate Free Square in an orderly manner. Behind them, the fully armed garrison soldiers appeared there with weapons. Seeing this scene, Bain felt that something was wrong. The city garrison did not belong to the military headquarters, but the department under the jurisdiction of the Council of Light. Therefore, these soldiers and soldiers of the Ministry of Military Affairs were essentially different. Now, the Council of Light actually dispatched all the soldiers of the garrison to Liberty Square, which means they were about to make a decision! Moreover, this decision would definitely not be a decision that they could accept!!

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

At this moment, the veterans who were originally hiding from the rain in the tent also noticed the abnormality around them. They held the weapons in their hands tightly, gathered uneasy, and looked at the soldiers in the garrison vigilantly. Perhaps many of them were not as sensitive as Bain, but seeing that they were surrounded by the other party, they naturally would not have any good premonitions.

Soon, the city garrison completely surrounded the entire Freedom Square. It was already evening and the sky gradually became dim. In addition to the light provided by the magic crystals around the square and the light of the torches, almost the whole world seemed to have fallen into deep darkness. Bain couldn't help but feel that his breathing was difficult. He reached out and held the long sword at his waist. After feeling the cold and familiar touch of the hilt, Bain felt a little relaxed.

At this moment, a pitch-black carriage drove out of the parliament and came to the platform in front of the Freedom Square and stopped. Then, a man in a luxurious and black uniform walked out of the carriage. When he saw so many veterans below, the man was a little surprised, but he calmed down, and then walked off the carriage with the help of his followers and came to the platform. His followers took the opportunity to put an umbrella for him. Then, the man coughed and took out a purple gem. Soon, the gem began to shine brightly on it, and then an amplified magic enveloped the entire Freedom Square. Knowing this time, the man slowly lowered his head, looked at the documents in his hand, and spoke.

"Everyone, I am the President of the Nakfand Parliament who is authorized by the Parliament to be responsible for the relief affairs! Over the past period of time, you have gathered from all over the place to Casablanca, which has seriously affected the operation of the Parliament of Light and the stability of Casablanca! I believe that you are all extremely loyal to the Land of Light, and you are all soldiers who protect this country. You should be able to understand what everything you have done now brings to this country! I hope you can put the overall situation first and think carefully and not do things that make the country difficult! Moreover, according to our investigation, there are many people who have ulterior motives and have criminal records among you. Now, the Parliament of Light, Casablanca and the entire country are all threatened by your actions!!"

Hearing this, many veterans showed dissatisfaction and anger. They were not fools, so they naturally knew what the other party wanted to express between the lines. The congressman completely ignored the anger of the veterans below. Instead, he spoke on his own.

"The Council of Light discussed your requests and proposals, and the final result - with an overwhelming majority, rejected your proposal to receive relief funds immediately! We here advise you to dissolve immediately, return to your homeland, and wait for the relief of the Council, and the Council will also provide you with a certain travel fee as compensation! Please understand this, this is the final decision of the Council of Light!"

"How is that possible?"

"Why is this the case?"

"What's going on!!"

After listening to Nakfande's words, the first reaction of the veterans was not anger, but at a loss. They stood blankly in the rainstorm, letting the rain wash their bodies. They seemed to be completely unable to believe what their ears heard, everything they expected, and their only hope, were now completely broken like a beautiful soap bubble!!

"Diet the Council!!"

"You are talking nonsense!!"

"Go to die! Go to die!! We will never give up!!! Absolutely not!!!"

The ragged veterans walked up one by one, glaring at the Councillor Edward standing on the platform, and seeing their eyes, Nakvand retreated without changing his expression. Soon, the city guards quickly stepped forward and protected him. Their sharp swords were unsheathed and aimed at the veterans in front of them. Above, the soldiers holding bows and arrows also pulled their longbows and aimed at the people in front of them. But facing the swords and arrows, the veterans did not retreat. They lined up in a uniform formation, as if they were fighting on the front line, and walked towards the parliament hall with their deaths. At the same time, the low national anthem sounded among the veterans.

"Have anyone ever seen that in the distance of dawn, those who fight for freedom, have you seen that heroic flag still stand on this land? Whose flag is flying in the fire of war..."

Soon, the national anthem resounded throughout the Freedom Square. When many soldiers in the garrison were also pale when they heard the song. They held their weapons in horror and looked at the veterans who were not wearing armor and in their hands, as if they were the most terrifying enemies in the world.

"Don't come here!! Don't come here!!"

"There is a military restricted area ahead!! Those who trespassed will be killed without mercy!!"

"Those who dare to rush into the parliament hall will be executed on the spot!!"

A loud shout came from the soldiers in the garrison, but the veterans did not stop. Instead, they raised their heads proudly and looked at the pale and even trembling soldiers in front of them.

"Come on, I have a kind of killing! Anyway, I will die when I go back. If I die, I might as well die here! Let those damn politicians look at our bodies and see our blood! Let whose blood we shed are!!"

"Come on, do it, coward. I killed more people than you eat! When I killed someone, you didn't know where you were!"

Seeing the veterans and the entire gathering, the situation became more and more out of control, Nakfand's face became more and more gloomy.

"Prepare to start the expulsion operation!"

"Swoosh swish swish!!"

Accompanied by Nakfand's orders, countless arrows flew down from the air. Soon, the veteran who stood in the most comprehensive rolled and lay on the ground, leaving no sound! When the veterans saw this scene, they were completely angry!!

"Brothers! They're taking action, they want to kill us!!"

"Go! Sooner or later, you will die, let them see our strength!!"

"Swish swish swish swish!!"

Accompanied by the roar, long swords were pulled out from the veteran, and at this moment, the sound of a trumpet symbolizing the charge also sounded at the same time.

“Woo…………………………………!”

Accompanied by the sound of trumpets, the cavalry, who had already been ready, raised their weapons high, rode their horses and whipped them, and rushed into the crowd in front of them.

The entire Freedom Square was in chaos!!

ps: I went to the hospital for examination today, and the doctor said I had chronic gastritis. I prescribed medicine first. After I didn’t have it, I would have to do gastroscopy… I don’t want to do gastroscopy!!
