The Leader of the NTR Knights Decided To Escape chapter 17

17 – Propaganda that they are bastards

countless people in front of you,

Dozens… She goes towards them, who may number in the hundreds.

A woman whose name is Jane McCree,

He started screaming and pouring out the emotions in his heart.

“That’s how we were thoroughly betrayed by the Imperial Army. Even my precious fiancé! Even the young daughters of Mr. Smith, who believed in the empire! For all that zealous loyalty to the Empire, all that was returned was the disastrous price of plunder and the death of one’s family!”

Jane screams and sheds tears filled with intense anger and betrayal.

Hearing her story, the citizens gathered in the town square began to be greatly agitated.

“How did that happen… ”

“Even a zealous supporter of the Empire suffers such a thing. In other words, no matter how much you obey the will of the empire, you don’t know when you will be hit in the back.”

Until now, they had maintained an attitude not to get involved with the rebels while sympathizing with the Empire.

However, the tragedy suffered by Davy Jones and his villagers, who were more extreme supporters of the Empire than they were…

The fact that even helpless young boys and girls were brutally killed in the process was enough to stir them up.

Reading their reactions,

With tears in her eyes, Jane raised her voice again and began to shout.

“Because of this, I would like to ask the people here. Please make the same pathetic choice as me… Please don’t be foolish to believe in the Empire. Even if you do your best to help them, the only thing left is to be slaughtered like cattle! What we must believe and follow is not the filthy Imperial Army, but the rebels who are fighting for their lives holding up the noble banner of freedom!”

Jane’s appeal for support for the rebels.

Regarding this, the people began to murmur and agitate greatly among themselves.

Originally, this was a place where support for the British Empire was strong, but the story of Jane and her villagers who supported the Imperial Army more than they did was enough to shake people’s hearts.

Then, among them, some citizens began shouting in voices of fear and hostility.

“But the Imperial Army is strong! It is impossible to go against their will!”

“Even if we don’t like their behavior, we can’t fight a losing battle!”

The words of those who clouded the atmosphere.

However, seeing them like this, Jane did not show any anger or annoyance.

I already knew through ‘education’ that such a person would inevitably appear,

At the same time, the way to deal with this situation was also in her head.

“Of course it is. Certainly the Imperial Army is strong. As rumor has it, the battle between the Rebels and the Imperials is a rock-and-egg battle, and defeating them won’t be easy. But… ”

With those words, Jane took a moment to catch her breath and look at the people.

Through this silence, she once again drew the eyes of many who were looking at her.

He began to open his mouth again in a clear voice.

“But, nonetheless, we must fight. Even to show the imperial army that we are people, not livestock! Even in order not to be betrayed and helplessly lose the precious person next to you! We must take up our arms and show that we are alive!”

With those words, Jane pulled out the sword she was wearing around her waist.

It was a sword that was not easy to even hold and wield with her slender hands, but nevertheless, she held it with all her strength and held it right without shaking, shouting confidently.

“I will not force you. In the first place, I am a stranger from another village, and I have no right to decide the future of this village. But let me make this one clear. Like I did in the past, will I live like cattle and be slaughtered helplessly and brutally, or will I wield my sword to protect my precious ones as a warrior! That all of this is only in your hands.”

With that said, Jane watches the residents’ reactions.

At that time, some people among them raised their hands and shouted as if they were determined.

“That’s right! We are neither slaves nor cattle!”

“I will fight! I will take up arms to protect my family!”

Residents shouting with determination,

At this, the people who were agitated in their hearts began to raise their hands one by one according to the flow.

“I will also join the fight. To protect our precious people!”

“I’d rather die proudly shooting them than to die from being shot in the back of the head!”

“You cannot entrust your life to the butcher!”

“Let’s fight! Let’s try breaking a rock with an egg!”

A tragic tragedy of those who lived the same life as them, not someone else.

As a result, a consensus began to spread in the hearts of the residents that they should no longer trust the empire.

The residents of this place, who had only passively supported the Empire until not long ago, began to respond positively to the rebels.

And,

looking at them like this.

Jane’s heart began to feel a deep smile and a feeling of joy she had never experienced before.

‘thank god… Until now, as he said, the hard work was worth it.’

“It won’t be easy to beat them. But nonetheless, we must fight. To show the Imperial Army that we are people, not livestock… ”

“Wait, that part there. There is a feeling that the story is getting a little longer, so I think it would be better to take a break at that part.”

“Yes? But won’t that distract you?

“It’s the opposite. Moderate silence has the power to focus rather distracted attention. It’s similar to how you start worrying about what’s going on when someone who was talking loudly suddenly stops talking.”

“ah… yes, what do you mean… It’s like knowing.”

Cromwell, the general of the imperial army, pointed out in a calm voice.

At this, Jane nodded and began examining the contents of the speech once more.

It is a summary of her experiences and sincere feelings in writing.

To be precise, Cromwell arranged and corrected the slightly distracting stories that came out of her mouth. To be honest, Jane felt quite strange while watching this.

‘I’ve never thought of organizing a story in writing… Looking at it like this, even I, who had experienced it myself, feel that this fact touches me more clearly.’

For her, who barely learned to read and write while living as an ordinary farmer, this fact is quite impressive.

Immediately after memorizing the contents written in it once again,

Jane’s gaze turns to the man who is helping her at this moment.

They turned to this rebel general who bore the name of Edward Cromwell.

‘I think he’s a great person… Well, if you trust the terrifying General Franklin, it’s worth it, right? He must be from a good family and received a great education.’

An existence that allows her, an ordinary farmer, to do things she never thought of.

Feeling quite deeply interested in the fact, Jane began to read the speech in front of him once more.

*

Jane is rehearsing her speech in front of her eyes.

Seeing her like this, I automatically couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at the current situation.

‘I never thought I’d be able to use what I learned in Korean class in this way… ‘

Organizing the thoughts in my head or other people’s stories in writing and conveying them was something I had done quite a few times when I was in school.

In particular, the Korean language teachers I met often gave it as homework, as if they were interested in this kind of thing.

It is highly likely that it was part of the essay preparation, but the fact that the best use of that knowledge is not the college entrance exam, but the agitation in this fantasy world…

Other things like speech tips were learned through a slightly different background, but that’s not a very good reason in its own way, so

This current situation was making me feel quite strange in many ways.

‘But even so, this woman named Jane… Is your vocalization much better than you thought? In modern times, I could have been a voice actor or an actor.’

Thanks to her good voice and precise pronunciation, her speech seemed to fit into every word.

Judging that this would be enough to convey the story clearly to people, I slowly began to smile at the corner of my mouth as it was.

*

The militias are arriving one after another before our eyes.

Feelings of deep joy bloomed in Franklin’s heart as he watched the ‘achievements’ of Cromwell and Jane touring the nearby villages.

“How many are there in all?”

“Over 600 people have gathered so far. Adding to that the additional people who decide to arrive, it might well be 1,000.”

At Cromwell’s report that continued with a smile, Franklin’s lips began to rise automatically as well, but soon she suppressed those emotions and spoke in a calm voice.

“Good. For now, focus all your energy on managing them. It is difficult to disturb the atmosphere as it is the public sentiment that has gathered at best.”

“Yes, General, I will keep that in mind.”

Like that, Franklin, as always, hides his emotions under the guise of coolness.

However, at this moment she was unaware.

The figure of Cromwell, who had not made eye contact with her from earlier and was blushing slightly.

‘I don’t think I remember at all… This, no matter how you look at it, the film is cut, right?’

A deep kiss that still makes my face burn just thinking about it.

However, the appearance of Franklin, who did not show any agitation after the incident, made Cromwell wonder if it would be correct to regard it as simply an accident that occurred while drunk.

Of course, that and this pounding emotion now were completely different things.

‘Heroine… is it? I’m not sure, but I think you can see this as a flag in its own way… ‘

While thinking about that, Cromwell slipped his hand over his lips.

at that time.

“General!”

The adjutant rushes this way with an urgent voice. This made Franklin and Cromwell turn their attention there.

“What’s the fuss?”

“do… Im here! finally… Reinforcements have finally arrived!”

“what?”

A story that came a little earlier than expected.

In response, Franklin began to show a smile on his lips, but

On the other hand, Cromwell’s face began to look slightly complicated.

‘If it’s a reinforcement… It must mean that the bastard came along, right? It’s better than not coming, but this might make things a little more troublesome than before…’
