778 Chapter 778- Cynthia's Passionate Speech (2)
While the members of the criminal organisation became enraged, the transmission kept on continuing.
[Your families and loved ones who were held hostage to force you into submission, have all been freed. The chains that bound you have shattered, and we stand here today with a choice. A choice that was once denied to you] N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.
[There is no longer any need for you to listen to the selfish and tyrannical orders of those who sought to exploit you. No longer do you have to toil like slaves, serving their every whim. The time for subjugation is over and all of this was only possible thanks to some of the adventurers who even while being threatened and suppressed chose to fight against our enemies. It is thanks to the efforts of these brave warriors who put their lives on the line to rescue us all from the cruel enslavement and give us freedom]
[These courageous adventurers who plunged the gauntlet of war against the criminal organisations and are at this moment fighting a desperate battle. The enemy is strong, their numbers far higher than us. However, they still struggle. Why? It's because we are adventurers, we are free spirited people and not some slaves. We fight to save our loved ones, we fight for this town]
Cynthia's impassioned speech reverberated all across the town causing many to stop for a moment and listen to her.
Inside the Serene Palace merchant building, Blake, Alvara and the other adventurers got ready to head out after receiving some light treatment.
"Blake, you shouldn't push yourself. You just received a critical wound. Maybe you should stay at the backlines during the raid"
Frida spoke in concern. A few hours ago, the man had suddenly run off somewhere only for them to find him in the middle of a war torn area with a gaping hole in his upper body.
"Don't worry, the wound missed my bones. If I don't move the area much, I should be fine. Besides, we are currently going off to face the criminal organisation. Even having double or triple our numbers, wouldn't suffice"
"Her Highness is doing her best to gather more reinforcements; however, there is no guarantee that those adventurers would fight with us, just because they are free now. In a situation like that, I cannot be sitting back at the backlines"
It was as Blake said, there was no way of knowing what the situation would be until the end. Frida could only back down and choose to stay close to him in case he needed her aid.
Making their final preparations, the adventurers exited the building and headed for the criminal organisation's base.
Outside, Cynthia's speech continued to sound, reaching all the people of the tower town.
[This town is the adventurer's home, it is not theirs to control. It belongs to you all—the resilient, the brave, the free. Brave adventurers hear me, we stand at a crossroads. Right now in the eastern district of the town, where the base of the criminal organisation is, a fierce battle is going on]
"Yes, tell everyone that the princess is alive and is leading us adventurers to get rid of the Criminal organisations".
While the spark of revolution was being lit everywhere around the town, in the eastern district near the headquarters of the Criminal organisation. Fighting the outbreak of monsters, was a group of fighters fully decked out in high ranking armours and releasing a powerful aura.
At this moment, they wore a scornful and mocking face as they sat atop a mountain of monster corpses.
"Cynthia Augusta Ellesmere? I don't know how she survived, but even if she is the one leading you guys, you still don't have a chance to beat us"...
"Just because they managed to defeat some no name guilds under us, did they think that defeating us is also that easy? Do they even have any idea who our leaders are?"
The man looked at the adventurers of the tower town below who were being used as meat shield and asked.
"Na tell me, does your princess think she can defeat the Astral Strider and the White Beast, the two title rankers who rank above 3000?".
The adventurers below trembled in fear as the gaze of the man landed on them. They couldn't utter anything in return, after all, they knew the true strength of the two criminal organisations.
The Blades of Ascension guild who they thought were so powerful, were only just the tip of the iceberg. The really strong members were the ones currently standing in front of them.
"Haha, why are you asking these weaklings, these pacified cowards who don't even have the guts to raise their weapons against us anymore? Let them come, we will show them that they don't even deserve to get close to our leaders"
The members laughed. At this moment, their senses suddenly picked up multiple presences coming towards them from the direction of the tower.
"More monsters? Man, I'm getting tired of these small timers, ain't there a big powerful monster somewhere?"...
"It's good that you are ..... but don't get too caught up in it. Remember our orders, we need guard and stop the monsters here before they can get anywhere near the headquarters"...
"Haha, you are right. But man why do I feel like the monsters are ignoring the other places and keep pouring here? Well, whatever, since I am bored I will clean all of them myself. The warrior holding an impressive looking spear, spoke and slid down the mountain of corpses.
Even when facing the onrushing horde of monsters, his expression looked bored and lazy as if there was no energy in him at all. His spear flashed, ripping through the air they produced multiple spear auras that quickly swept all the incoming monsters away, bisecting and killing them instantly.
A rain of blood fell, followed by hordes and hordes of more monsters pouring in. It was like a festival of tomatoes with blood and gore littering the streets and walls red.
