Chapter 1365: Calming down the rebellion

“Right, disband the army. The world is unified, there is no need for troops!”

A civilian agreed. Very quickly, more and more people raised their fists and shouted to disband the army. A few minutes later, everyone was pumped up. But these people didn’t request to burn the king's manor. After all, this wasn’t something they dared to think about.

“These idiots have been brainwashed really seriously.” Yan Zhao Warrior smiled helplessly.

Lin Qiong held his sword and laughed coldly, “Shut up! You want to burn the king’s manor? Without Xiao Yao King leading the Royal Army to battle and defeat the hybrid demon army, can all of you still be alive here? All of you would have become the dinner of the demons. So foolish. If you disband the army today, tomorrow you can wait for the enemy. Your wives and children are going to get destroyed!”

Lin Qiong was a general and was the top general from Jiuli City. Seeing me being insulted like that was naturally something he couldn’t accept.

Young man was just too rash. At this moment, he was no different from Han Yuan.

……

I raised an arm and said, “Everyone calm down. I know that there are many unfair things in the world. The gap between commoners and nobles should be filled up, but that is not something that could be done in a day. If nobles shouldn’t hurt commoners then should commoners hurt nobles? I have gold here, 5 for each of you. After you take it don’t come out to cause trouble.”

A pile of gold scattered out from my bag onto the ground.

The civilians knelt down and said loudly, “Thank you your highness! Thank you!”

Most of them had a tough life. 5 gold was enough for a family for a year. There were a few thousand here so I used money to solve the problem.

That white cloak person wanted to say something but I walked forwards and grabbed him. I grabbed his throat and then smiled, “This sir is so wise, I respect you. I will recommend you to the empire, please follow me!”

Just like that, he was brought into the king manor by me. Han Yuan held him like a little chicken and right when he was about to curse, Han Yuan slapped him. His face felt fiery red and he fainted. As expected from the trash that played with words.

I sent away the people but my mood became heavier and heavier.

Outside, Xia Ye brought 2000+ Royal Army troops over. Some of them were injured and their armor was all over the place. There were even spears that were broken. Xia Ye knelt on the ground and said, “Your Highness are you okay? I am late…”

“I am fine, what about them?” I looked at those injured and asked.

Xia Ye said, “The damn Alliance gathered tens of thousands of people to block the path and they stopped us from patrolling. I was disturbed when I tried to bring people over to protect the manor. I had no choice but forcefully charge past their wall to get over.”

I was shocked, “You didn’t hurt them right?”

“Nope, I am not so foolish.” Xia Ye smiled.

I felt satisfied. Out of the dozen of majors, only Xia Ye and Jing Yin were calm.

……

“But your highness…” He wanted to say something but stopped.

“Is there anything else?” I asked.

Xia Ye said, “Not only within the capital, but many civilians also appeared outside of the city. They surrounded Royal Army, Guards Army, Fire Dragon Army camp and even used crossbows to kill many soldiers. Many generals can’t take it anymore. If this continues, Tian Ling City would be in a real mess.”

I nodded and glanced at the empire’s interface. The people's support was only 78%. As I expected, if we didn’t find the mastermind and kill him, this would continue. This time our enemy was not someone we could attack. The civilians couldn’t be hurt!

“A headache… Right?” Yan Zhao Warrior smiled at me.

“You still can laugh?” I stared at him, “This is the first time I am facing such a thing, really… It is tougher than wars…”

“Right.” He smiled, “I lived for half my life and have never faced something so problematic. The enemies are too cunning, I didn’t expect Sky Rose to play such a hand. Not simple!”

“Uncle, you didn’t fall for them right?”

“Of course not, a racial hatred, we are definitely enemies!”

“...”

Not long later, Han Yuan, Long Xing held the white shirt man who was on his final breaths and smiled, “Your Highness, the outcome is out!”

I didn’t need to see and I knew their interrogation method, but this was for the best.

“Speak.”

“En.” Long Xing nodded and said, “This Alliance is very strict and they have an in charge. Three deputies, 10 silver managers, 25 bronze and 300 workers. This fellow’s rank isn’t low and he is a silver manager! What should we do? Slice his head to pray to our brothers?”

“Don’t.” I waved, “Don’t be rash, this person’s words might be useful. Bring us to the palace to see his majesty. We must let the emperor know about this matter, we can’t make decisions on our own.”

“Right!”

Golden leveling time. Tian Ling City’s path was really calm and there were not many players. Most of them headed out to level and even players doing army quests were helpless. No one could do quests today. If this Alliance continued, there won’t be any more army quests to do as they won’t exist.

If this Alliance caused the support to drop below 70%, the cities will break apart and people would leave. Sky Rose was just too strong, she didn’t give Tian Ling City a way out.

……

When I came to the palace, it was really surprising. Over 1000 players were here. Those with high ranks were allowed in and the rest waited outside. When I brought Han Yuan and Lin Qiong etc in, I noticed that Fang Ge Que, Drunken Spear, Q-Sword, Jian Feng Han, Ye Lai, Mu Xuan etc were all there. Seemed like everyone was nervous about this matter.

In truth it was like that. Sky Rose’s previous tactics were to crush us but this time she was using a soft method. So vicious, we had to defend against her!

“Xiao Yao, even you are here?” Fang Ge Que smiled.

I nodded helplessly, “I have no choice, the backyard seemed to be lit up!”

Ye Lai laughed, “Happy engagement brother!”

“Ha, thank you!”

I walked to the front and Lin Qiong held the white shirt man. This time there were at least 500 people in the hall and it was really full. Lochlan wore the emperor robe and sat on the throne. He got up when he saw me and said, “Master Li, who is this?”

“A silver manager from Alliance.”

I kicked the guy to make him kneel and then raised my head, “Your Majesty, you should know about Alliance right?”

Lochlan nodded, “En, I have heard of them. They use my name and are asking for equality. To a certain extent, that makes sense right Master Li?”

I smiled, “That is right but they did it wrongly. They want to disband the army but they don’t know that once they disbanded, your empire will fall to the hands of others.”

Lochlan nodded, “Master Li is right!”

He looked at him, “What is your name, where did you come from?”

This silver manager’s eyes were filled with pride and he raised his head, “I am Liu Weiming, one of Alliance’s ten silver manager. I want to protect your majesty’s rule but the nobility system has gone on for too long. We have to get rid of them. Only one person can ride above the masses and that is you.”

Lochlan said, “Continue.”

Liu Weimng said, “Alliance started in the western mountains and from 400 people, there are now 300 million members. Each day millions will join. As long as Alliance is here, your majesty’s empire will exist. With Alliance, you won’t need to rely on these cowards! Your Majesty, let me beg you. Disband Royal Army, Fire Dragon Army etc, you just need one Guards army to defend the cities. Please agree to my request!”

Lochlan laughed coldly, “You talk about disbanding the army to protect my empire but once they disband, the one controlling the empire would be you right?”

Liu Weiming knelt down in terror, “Your Majesty, that is not what I meant! Please listen to me. Alliance is doing things for the masses. We take land from the nobles and officials and give them to the poor. This is the reason why they support us. Please follow the hearts of the people, that can create a great legacy!”

Lochlan was stunned and very quickly, rage filled his face. He said, “You dare to attack those cities on your own?”

Liu Weiming knew he said something wrongly and he kowtowed, “I don’t dare, we don’t dare, Alliance doesn’t dare.”

Situ Xin cupped his fists and said, “Your Majesty, Alliance pillaged the various offices to get money to give to the people. They made every place messed up and the world is about to be in a mess.”

Lochlan clenched his fist, “You… You made the people follow you to betray the empire. Alliance is too evil, damn. I am so angry!”

The emperor looked at me, “Master Li!”

I was stunned, “Yes your majesty.”

“You are Xiao Yao King, you should be free but I… I don’t trust anyone else so you have to lead the army to calm down everything. Are you willing?”

I was speechless.

Yan Zhao Warrior was delighted, “Congratulations Xiao Yao, you got a quest to calm the uprising…”

I stared at him, “Your father…”

Lochlan said, “New Executor listen up, you are the deputy, lead the troops along with Master Li.”

Yan Zhao’s face turned white. Who asked him to gloat?
