Chapter 1245: The First Signal of Resistance
The coastal city of the former Xingluo Empire, Canghai City.
Now, after being seized by the Wuhun Empire, it has become the Canghai City of the Wuhun Empire.
As an important coastal city and a trade center for maritime caravans, it was originally a very important commercial center.
However, the most important trading partner, that is, trade with the Tiandou Empire, was interrupted due to the war, and this vibrant city became much more desolate.
More importantly, because of the envoy who occupied and ruled this city, the whole city was shrouded in dark clouds and everyone's life was very depressed.
In a remote seaside village a little far from the town, a cloud of thick sea fog floated in from the sea on a calm afternoon with no wind or waves.
The fishermen, who are already sensitive to the climate, discovered the abnormality at the first time.
Some villagers gathered together and walked to the shore to observe whether this unusual sea fog would affect their going out to sea.
At this moment, a bright round light suddenly shot out from the sea fog.
When they squinted their eyes and looked carefully, they saw a small or medium-sized iron ship exuding a heavy steel smell coming out of the fog.
On the bow stood a fiery red figure.
This person is Huo Wushuang, who has entered adulthood and grown into a majestic man.
Exuding a powerful soul-fighting aura, he smiled at the villagers and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, we are back."
At this moment, a flamboyant bright red flag was fluttering above the entire hull, which was gradually becoming clear in the light.
It was a flag with two crossed and superimposed dark golden sickles and hammers painted on a fiery red background.
When the villagers saw the strange ships and strange crew members, they did not react.
But only when they heard Huo Wushuang say the three words "fellow villagers", the memories in their minds suddenly revived.
In their memory, the only force that called them fellow villagers was one.
That was the Quan family that once secretly controlled Canghai City.
"Is it the Quan family?"
“It’s the Quan family!
Come here quickly, the Quan family is back, we are saved."
This group of people are all villagers who had received favors from the Quan family.
Hearing that the Quan family had arrived, the anxious villagers walked out of their houses and quickly gathered on the shore.
At this time, the navy teams on both sides of Huo Wushuang clenched their fists and crossed them in front of them. Suddenly, bright white jade gloves appeared in their bare hands.
The jade silkworm gloves, and more importantly, the white gloves in the form of martial spirit, are the best proof of identity for the villagers.
“It’s really the Quan family.
No, no, you can't come back at this time. Canghai City is too dangerous now. You should go back quickly."
The village chief was so excited that he was about to cry, but suddenly he controlled his emotions and forcefully drove the other person away.
Huo Wushuang jumped off the bow, walked to the village chief, held his hands, and said, "Don't worry, we know the danger, and that's why we came.
Don't worry, we are back and we will never leave again.
And you don’t have to worry anymore.”
The ship docked at the shore and a large number of people disembarked in an orderly manner.
They all wore standard equipment and clothing. Some of them took out various daily necessities from the rings they wore and organized their distribution.
And situations like this do not only occur in this village.
Along the entire west coast, all the villages that had received funding from the Quan family and did not choose to evacuate overseas in the end, all welcomed the fleet sent by the Blue Silver Island.
With the entire west coast of the Wuhun Empire as the line, countless villages are connected to form a battle line.
After arriving at the village, they quickly established a deep connection with the village and thoroughly lurked in it, taking the lead in helping the villagers cope with the impending tax pressure.
The timing of their attack was very clever. Just before the imperial tax collectors arrived and the villagers were having trouble bearing the increasingly huge taxes, they suddenly arrived to solve the problem for them and temporarily deal with it.
However, everyone knows that it is not over yet.
Because they knew that the tax next year would be even higher, and the news from Canghai City had revealed that the envoy and his supporters were wantonly exploiting the people.
All the rebels were beheaded and displayed to the public as a warning to others.
Every member of the lower class has become precarious, but in their hearts they still hope that the angel god Qian Renxue can come to save them and get rid of these evil messengers.
As time goes by, people's inner beliefs are gradually shaken.
And the oppression is getting worse.
It was under this situation, in the Canghai City Lord’s Mansion.
A man in a white robe, with a belly full of food and surrounded by various beauties serving him, was acting recklessly in the former city lord's mansion which was converted into a church.
Just as he was torturing a beautiful civilian girl who had just been captured from the city, his keen hearing, enabled by his powerful cultivation, enabled him to detect unusual movements outside.
"It's bad, Your Excellency the Envoy, a large-scale riot suddenly broke out in the city.
The granaries and weapon depots in the city have been seized by the untouchables below, and this group of armed people are gathering here quickly."
The messenger kicked the girl away and asked angrily: "City Defense Force, where are our Paladins?
Even if these untouchables gather together, can they defeat us?"
At this time, the reporter said in horror: "The first moment they came into contact with the rebels, they were killed by a group of well-trained unfamiliar troops using an unheard-of gunpowder weapon.
Some of the top combat forces were even killed by the fully armed flying armored knights.
Your Excellency, please go out and take a look."
Seeing that the other party did not seem to be lying, a large amount of mixed aura began to emerge around him.
The panicked messenger hurried out of the church and pushed open the door.
But at this time, he saw that in the sky, with him as the center, there were countless people wearing black full body armor, with a special energy jet device behind them to stabilize them in the sky, and they aimed the black metal cannon barrels in their hands at the messenger.
He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
At this moment, a large number of people, shouting and killing, holding various weapons, some even carrying household iron pots and kitchen knives, rushed into the city lord's mansion in anger.
The leader among them opened his helmet, revealing a head of flowing red hair.
Huo Wushuang said to the messenger: "We have completely surrounded this place. If you are smart, surrender quickly and wait to be judged by the people you have persecuted."
A pair of extremely beautiful white angel wings stretched out behind the messenger.
“Trial?
In the Wuhun Empire, only the Angel God has the power to judge others.
And I, as Master Qian Renxue's valued servant, am also his agent to benefit all living beings.
Now, in this place, I am the only one who is qualified to judge all living beings. Where did you come from, you heretics, and you actually dare to try to undermine God's authority.
Aren't you afraid of God's punishment?"
When these words were spoken, the people who were overwhelmed by anger seemed to be awakened by cold water.
Huo Wushuang smiled contemptuously and said, "Allowing people like you to stay in this world is a sign of God's incompetence."
