Chapter 1307 It Can No Longer Be Clarified

"No, we can't go on like this. If the rumors continue to ferment, then all civilians will kill our Acropolis soldiers."

"So, we have to explain clearly to the civilians that the food of our Acropolis soldiers has nothing to do with their food."

"Then how should we explain it? Now the common people in the city have basically misunderstood us, but we can't go around the streets to explain this matter."

"Well, how about we go to the square again and explain this matter clearly."

"As long as some civilians understand it, it will definitely be spread to other civilians."

"The leader of Nuuk City is right. Let's do this. Everyone immediately summoned some subordinates to go to the Holy City Square."

"Of course, the purpose of bringing the subordinates down is not for other purposes, but simply because the large number of people will easily attract the attention of the civilians!"

"good!"

After that, all the Acropolis commanders did not hesitate, and immediately headed straight to the Holy City Square with five or six thousand subordinates.

But they didn't know that every move they and others made was expected by the Flame High Priest.

Soon, news about the actions of several people was sent to the Flame High Priest.

"Your Majesty the High Priest, do we have to find a way to interrupt their gathering? Otherwise, if the civilians really listen, our previous efforts will be in vain."

-

The commander of the city guard felt a little guilty, because the treatment of their city guards was indeed very high.

If this matter is revealed, then people's misunderstanding about the Acropolis soldiers may be resolved by then.

It is more likely that people will target the City Guards when the time comes.

However, the high priest sneered and shook his head: "To prevent them from gathering? Why stop them? This is the opportunity I am waiting for."

"I have arranged everything. The best time to deal with them is after they start the rally!"

The city guard commander was stunned when he heard this, but when the high priest said this, he said no more.

And soon, a group of Acropolis commanders came to the Holy City Square with their men.

Although their total number this time is only more than 20,000.

But because today's Acropolis soldiers pay too much attention in the Holy City.

This has attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Many civilians even saw the Acropolis commanders approaching the square and secretly followed them to see what was going on.

The Acropolis commanders were naturally happy to hear this, and they were eager for more civilians to watch.

Only in this way can it be explained clearly.

Even when the leader of Nuk City went to the podium in the center of the square, he specially asked the civilians to gather around him.

"Fellow civilians, our Acropolis soldiers came to the square this time just to clarify something to you."

"So civilians, please come here. We Acropolis soldiers have something to say."

Following the words of the leader of Nuk City, the civilians slowly came over.

Although the vast majority of civilians in the city are currently living at the level of food and clothing that means they will not starve to death, they have gone out for activities as much as possible to reduce consumption.

But the time chosen by the Acropolis commanders was exactly the time when many civilians went to receive supplies.

Following their voices, over 100,000 people gathered in the square.

And, as time goes by, the number of passing civilians is slowly increasing.

The leaders of the Acropolis were afraid that the Flame High Priest would come to stop them later, so they stopped talking at the moment.

So the leader of Nuuk City continued: "Dear civilians, our Acropolis soldiers have heard about the rumors these days."

"We Acropolis soldiers feel very unjust about this, because the rations of our Acropolis soldiers are not stolen from civilians."

"Because we Acropolis soldiers originally had two meals of black bread a day, but the High Priest of Fire suddenly cut our rations."

"Our last gathering was just to fight for our original rights and interests from the High Priest."

"In this way, after the high priest restored the rations of our Acropolis soldiers, some people spread rumors that our Acropolis soldiers had robbed them. This is completely sinister."

"I hope you don't have to believe it. After all, we Acropolis soldiers all come from civilian families. All of you here are just like our parents and sisters."

"Even if we starve to death, we don't dare to compete with our parents and sisters for food!"

The leader of Nuk City immediately explained to the civilians.

And it was specifically stated that the Acropolis soldiers came from civilian groups.

And civilians did know this in the past.

As soon as the emotional leader of Nuk City was attacked, there were whispers among the civilians.

Many civilians slightly agreed with the Nuk City commander's statement, nodding their heads and saying that the Acropolis soldiers were indeed stronger than the city guards in the past.

What the City Guards like most is bullying civilian traders.

The Acropolis soldiers are only on duty on weekdays and do not care about the streets in the city. This image is much better than that of the City Guards.

But now that the Flame High Priest is ready to attack them in this square, it means that the clarification by the Acropolis commanders will definitely not go smoothly.

The next moment, some people in the crowd looked at each other and said loudly: "Humph, this is all a lie."

"My neighbor's uncle was cleaning the temple, and he heard the conversation between the captains of the Acropolis and the high priest that day.

"It is said that the high priest told them that there was a shortage of food in the Holy City, so they had to reduce the rations of the soldiers in the Acropolis."

"But they don't care about these Acropolis captains. They rely on the fact that the Holy City needs them now and ask the high priest to increase their rations."

"Otherwise they wouldn't fight, so the high priest had no choice but to agree to them!"

"Yes, my brother works in the material warehouse. He also said that our rations were not deducted originally."

"But because of the protest of the Acropolis soldiers that day, there was a sudden notice to stop the distribution of food. Doesn't this mean that the Acropolis soldiers robbed us of our rations?"

"Yes, it was the Acropolis soldiers who robbed us of our rations. They are really bad. Everyone, many of you may not have had your rations taken away yet."

"But if the rations in the city become less and less, and all of them have to be supplied to the soldiers of the Acropolis, then you will also be hungry!"

"Who, who is talking nonsense? If you have the ability, stand up for me and we will confront you!"

Facing the shouts from the crowd below, the expressions of the Acropolis commanders above immediately changed.

Because these provocative words, just a few words, caused the expressions of the civilians who had nodded in agreement with them to change.

If other civilians were deprived of food, then although they were angry, they would not hate the Acropolis soldiers.

But once they heard that it was their turn and others' food to be robbed in the future, these civilians became irrational.

Even though this possibility is extremely low, no one dares to bet.

After all, once there is no food, it means starving to death.

In this way, how can they speak for the soldiers on the Acropolis.

"Everyone, listen to me, the rations of our Acropolis soldiers are only two meals of black bread a day, while the city guards only have three meals of black bread a day."

"If there is not enough food, the food of the city guards can be reduced completely, so it is not that we soldiers of the city robbed your food!"

The leader of Nuk City saw the crowd getting restless and immediately explained loudly.

"Don't believe them, these Acropolis soldiers are definitely deceiving us."

"Yes, after they protested last time, civilians' food was immediately taken away. What if they protest again next time?"

"Yes, these Acropolis soldiers are too bad. We don't need them to protect us. It would be nice if we had the City Guards. The Holy City was originally protected by the City Guards."

"Down with the Acropolis soldiers, we don't need the Acropolis soldiers to protect us!"

"Down with the Acropolis soldiers, we don't need them to protect us!"

Faced with the explanation from the leader of Nuk City, and instigated by thoughtful people, no civilians could think rationally.

With bursts of chanting, the crowd actually began to push the Acropolis soldiers.

The Acropolis soldiers were already angry because they had been wronged, so naturally they glared at these civilians.

"Acropolis soldiers obey orders, no one is allowed to use weapons..."

Puff puff!

"Ah, the Acropolis soldiers killed people!"

"The Acropolis soldiers killed someone, everyone, run away!"

"The Acropolis soldiers are so bad. Not only did they steal our food, they also killed us!"

Seeing that something was wrong, the commanders of the Acropolis were worried that their soldiers would accidentally injure civilians if they drew out their weapons for a confrontation.

So he opened his mouth to explain immediately.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of swords entering flesh and exclamations could be heard from the venue.

When the exclamation came out, there were several guys wearing linen gowns who carefully hid the bloody daggers in their hands and then blended into the crowd.

But as people screamed and fell to the ground, the civilians couldn't tell what happened.

The only option is to start running away from the square.

As civilians fled the square, news that Acropolis soldiers robbed civilians of food and killed people out of anger also began to spread.

"Yes, who killed someone!"

The expressions of the commanders of the Acropolis changed drastically. They rushed to several civilians lying in a pool of blood and questioned their subordinates next to them.

"Lord Commander, it's not...it's not us. We didn't draw our swords at all. We just heard a few screams, and they fell, and then the crowd started to chaos!"

The surrounding Acropolis soldiers shook their heads.

"This is a dagger wound, not our standard long sword!" At this time, the Acropolis Commander also checked the wound on the corpse.

"We have been framed!" No matter how slow their reaction was, all the Acropolis commanders understood that there must be troublemakers in this incident today.

"What do we do now?"

And everyone is more aware that with what happened in the square today, it is no longer possible for the Acropolis soldiers to clarify the fact of robbing civilians of food.

Even because of today's unexpected events, they may have the reputation of killing civilians indiscriminately.

tap! tap!

But at this moment, footsteps were heard around the square.

Then, rows of heavily armed city guard soldiers were seen rushing out of the lanes around the square.

"defense!"

When the Acropolis soldiers saw this, the subordinates who were originally captains of the Acropolis soldiers shouted loudly without the need for orders from several commanders.

Following the instructions of these captains, the Acropolis soldiers immediately began to form formations for defense.

Suddenly, the Acropolis soldiers and the city guards in the square formed a confrontation.

Of course, because the city guards were already prepared, and the guards originally thought it was just to attract civilians and increase their popularity.

In this way, the number of city guards was more than two or three times more than that of Acropolis soldiers, and they were equipped with a large number of longbowmen and even several magic cannons.

"Captains of the City Guards, listen carefully. You are killing innocent people and civilians indiscriminately in the Holy City."

"Our city guards are now preparing to arrest you temporarily in accordance with the laws of the Holy City. You should immediately put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

The commander of the city guard shouted to the commanders of the city guard with a righteous look on his face.

"Commander of the city guards, we did not kill the people!" The commander of Nuk City stared at the commander of the city guards fiercely.

If there was a 10% chance that the spies of the divine invaders had done this and wanted to frame their Acropolis soldiers.

So with the City Guards appearing so quickly, it can be 100% confirmed that today's matter is still the calculation of the Flame High Priest and the City Guards.

"Humph, the evidence is right in front of you, and you still don't admit it!"

"However, as a member of the Flame Continent, I can temporarily listen to your explanation."

"But you must put down your weapons and surrender, and then our city guards will investigate the matter!"

The eyes of the city guard commander were full of contempt, but his words were righteous.

The civilians who had fled before saw the city guards arriving and hid in the distance to watch.

This matter was pointed at the Acropolis soldiers in the square, their eyes full of contempt and anger.

"Commander of the City Guards, you can investigate the matter. Our Guardsmen will not run away, so there is no need to surrender, right?"

Seeing the city guard commander disguise himself as a righteous and awe-inspiring person, the commanders who knew the driving force behind the incident gritted their teeth with hatred.

But at this time, they were already at a disadvantage. At this time, they could only hold back their anger and speak softly to the commander of the city guard.

But the city guard commander had already discussed it with the Flame High Priest.

How could he let them go so easily? He immediately shook his head and said, "Who knows if you will run away."

"Now there are more than ten civilians dead in the square. We city guards must be responsible for the civilians. We are also responsible for the God of Fire."

"So, captains, please put down your weapons immediately and surrender obediently, otherwise don't blame our city guards for being rude!"

"Commander of the City Guards, you are really so ruthless!" Commander Bei Tiecheng's eyes turned red.

But when faced with his question, the city guard commander didn't answer at all. Instead, he issued an ultimatum.

"Listen carefully, you have ten seconds now. After ten seconds, our city guards will not be polite!"

"Ten, nine, eight..."

As the city guard commanders counted down, the expressions of all the city guard commanders changed drastically.

They knew that the city guards were definitely not trying to scare them.

This time, the city guards can be said to have the right time and place, which is the best opportunity to deal with them.

After all, the city guards have lost the support of the people this time. Even if the city guards kill them here, many civilians will probably applaud.
