BXBX NOVEL Chapter 159 Third-Party Win
"Sister, do you feel better now?" Velian looked at Delvi while she elegantly sheathed her sword.
"Not yet Veli, there\'s another one I need to deal with and then I will-" Her voice got muffled as soon as Velian patted her head.
"Don\'t worry, we are with you, no matter who it is we will take our revenge,"
Delviny softly smiled at his words and looked at Pete who was groaning with a piece of clothing shoved in his mouth.
"Veli, I don\'t like to say this but he is our half-blood brother, I don\'t really like to even acknowledge we have a blood relationship but it\'s the truth," Assuming that Velian had no memories of his childhood, Delviny explained.
"I know sister but I don\'t have another sibling except for you and Lyra, I don\'t care about blood relationships,"
Delviny couldn\'t help but be amazed by his words cause they are the exact same words that came into her mind.
"You really are my-" She whispered in a small voice, that even Velian with his extra senses had a hard time picking up her words correctly.
"What did you say, sister?"
"Nothing, let\'s just go and meet mother,"
Both of them left the area, and every important figure in this war got arrested including Julius while people in the fortress were confused about what was going to happen to them.
Most of them got the news about an unknown force winning this war and they had no idea what to do.
"From here onward, we are going official," With a proud voice, Velian said as he entered the town with Delviny, Lyra, Dapnia and every other important figure surrounding him.
To ordinary people in the town, it looked like a royal parade as all these beautiful women and strong men followed this unbelievably handsome boy. Another thing that caught their attention was the beast people\'s presence.
All most every one of them had never seen a beastkin in their entire life so it came as a rather huge deal for them.
"Mother, that boy is so beautiful,"
"I know,"
Everywhere in the town mothers, daughters, and wives started to whisper among themselves looking at this extraordinary scene. Men felt threatened by his presence but at the same time, they knew going against someone like this isn\'t anything convenient.
"Listen, everyone,"
Walking along the road, Veliam reached a higher place where he can clearly see everyone. He wanted everyone\'s attention as winning these people\'s hearts is going to be his main challenge right now after winning the war.
"I know most of you\'re confused to see us, we are not from the empire or kingdom and you must be questioning who are these people?"
Everyone nodded their heads as all of them were eager to hear his words. They wanted to know who can defeat the mighty empire and be brave enough to go against a kingdom.
"Let me tell you!"
"We are normal people like you, we are not from a kingdom or the tyrant empire, we are just ordinary citizens that got together to best the unfairness and foolishness of these governments,"
Everyone felt rather surprised by this revelation. They didn\'t know how to react to his words as they were absurd claims to make.
Going against a whole kingdom and fighting with an empire, Can normal people like us even do such great things? These are the thoughts that raved inside their heads.
"Well, for you guys we must be no different from the tyrant empire,"
None of them answered his words, but a few of them were brave enough to nod their heads at his words.
"Well, I don\'t blame you, you guys were the victims of this war and most of your lands, crops and animals were destroyed,"
Just by reminding those things, it was obvious that everyone was angry but they couldn\'t do anything since they were just powerless farmers or heavy workers.
"I know how you guys feel, we were also attacked by the kingdom once and destroyed our life but-"
"We realised something that you guys don\'t know," They perked up their ears to hear what he was about to say.
"Without us citizens, no one can exist, nobles or royals won\'t be able to satisfy their hunger without your crops, they won\'t be able to build huge castles without your manpower, basically without you guys nothing will work for them,"
It was the most basic thing but when they heard it, all of them felt rather conflicted. The feeling of happiness and satisfaction started to build inside their minds knowing that even great people like Julius won\'t be able to survive without them.
"We are the power, no one can force us to fight a war, and no one can steal our crops without paying us money,"
His words started to take effect as everyone started to think about Velian\'s words.
"You guys might not know about this but we saw a huge number of dead bodies of farmers outside the gate and almost all of them had no weapons, or armour to protect them,"
Velian dropped the biggest bomb in his speech, and right after he did that, everyone went silent unable to believe what they were hearing.
"Noooooo! Nooooooo!" A woman started to shout hysterically upon hearing his words.
"I\'m very sorry I couldn\'t arrive before the empire forced these people to charge but I have no excuse, I\'m ashamed,"
Velian actually felt a little regret seeing all these workforce dying uselessly. He wanted as many people as he can to build a better and more comfortable place for his girls so it wasn\'t convenient for him if people died without any proper reason.
If Daphnia heard his thoughts, he would surely get some spanking for being inconsiderate but she knew that is how Velian is. She just tries her best to keep him on a leash without letting him go overboard.
"I will give a proper burial for the people who died and I might support the families that cannot survive for a small period but before that,"
He got onto his main topic which is the most important thing, he wanted from this war.
