Chapter 652 – Braves Fall into Line

Translator: Xaiomoge

Naughty Kitten Tavern is an ordinary small tavern in Jinhua City. Since the ale here is cheap, many people with some money to spare like to come here to drink and chat.

The door of Naughty Kitten Tavern was pushed open, and three adventurers with scarfs covering their faces entered the tavern and sat at a table. Judging by their full figures, the adventurers are all female.

“The mighty Brave Lord is said to have promulgated a new policy, lowering agricultural taxes and raising commercial taxes again.”

“Great, now our burden is lighter. Long live the Brave Lord!”

“Last week, Earl Helio was sentenced to death by the Brave Lord and publicly executed. Earl Helio delighted in abusing and killing peasant adventurers. That beast was finally put down. The Brave Lord is really wise.”

“Yeah, lowering taxes and slaying those greater aristocrats guilty of crimes, only the Brave Lord will do that. In the past, no one dared to control those greater aristocrats. No matter what crimes they committed, they wouldn’t be tried. The Brave Lord is really a heaven-sent treasure.”

“...”

There are people talking about the deeds of the Brave Lord everywhere in the tavern, and all of them are full of praise for the Brave Lord.

A female adventurer couldn’t help but ask: “How do you know so much?”

A bald-headed adventurer showed a smug smile, took out a newspaper, and handed it to the female adventurer: “It’s because of the newspaper! This is a newspaper run by the people of the Brave Lord, and it has all policies recorded inside. Although we uncouth fellows can’t understand what it says, but the Naughty Kitten Tavern has newspaper readers every day read the various policies recorded in the newspaper to us.”

“Newspaper?” The female adventurer lowered her head, picked up the newspaper, and read it carefully. The newspaper speaks of various policies and decrees promulgated by Yang Feng as well as praises and propaganda for the person himself.

The female adventurer is from an extraordinary background. Ignoring the propaganda, she looked at the various decrees and policies and realized how extraordinary they are.

After becoming the king of the Kingdom of the Sun, Yang Feng didn’t indulge in pleasure, but supported agriculture, commerce, and industry vigorously and directly sold off most of the wealth he obtained from the three kingdoms and invested all into infrastructure.

With the full support of Yang Feng, the three kingdoms gained tremendous vitality, and are experiencing a prosperous economic development, improving the people’s living standards continuously.

Many farmers couldn’t even eat their fill in the old days. But with Yang Feng’s assistance, that is no longer the case, which netted him the support of many people from the lower strata. At the same time, Yang Feng used the newspaper as a propaganda tool to expose the evil actions of the greater aristocrats in the era of the three kingdoms, making the people full of disgust and anger towards that era, which in turn made then feel even more intimate with the Kingdom of the Sun.

The female adventurer handed the newspaper to another female adventurer and asked: “Nina, what do you think? Are the things in the newspaper false?”

Nina took a closer look at the newspaper, her pretty face turned slightly ashen, and she sighed faintly: “They should be true! There was a rumor in the high society that Viscount Lasev likes to torture and kill boys. When I was young, my father told me that I should never approach that animal.”

The female adventurer exuding a faint aura of a powerhouse sighed slightly: “In that case, everything the Brave Lord Randt did is justified! Everywhere we passed along the way, we only heard people praise the Brave Lord Randt. He executed the brutal greater aristocrats, lowered the taxes for the peasants, eliminated slavers, punished corrupt officials, signed peace treaties with the outside world, and actively responded to the possible invasion of the demons. He is definitely a rare virtuous lord! Nina, I can’t kill him!”

Face slightly ashen, Nina clasped her hands together and bit her lower lip.

The female adventurer continued: “Nina, we should give up. The Brave Lord Randt just deprived your family of your titles and confiscated your assets, which he converted into war bonds. I heard that the Kingdom of the Sun didn’t renege on the war bonds, but started repaying them with a repayment period of 20 years. In this way, although you are no longer an aristocrat, but you can still become rich, and there is still hope of you rising to great heights in the future.”

Nina responded: “I know. However, Brigitte, are you really going to heed the Brave Lord’s call? Isn’t it your dream to become the Hero? It is no secret that the Brave Lord wants to become the Hero. Aren’t you afraid that he’ll kill you?”

Brigitte is the name of the female adventurer. She is one of Garemo Kingdom’s Hero candidates, is a native to the Eternal Continent, and possesses tremendous strength.

Since she didn’t want to take part in the human civil war, Brigitte didn’t appear in Ninuo City. Many human braves didn’t participate in the civil war between Yang Feng and the human kingdoms.

Brigitte smiled and said: “Don’t worry, it’s written in the newspaper that so long as braves go to Radiant Capital and accept a title of the Kingdom of the Sun’s title, there won’t be any danger. A friend of mine who is also a brave has already arrived in Radiant Capital and confirmed the Brave Lord’s promise.”

Nina fell silent.

A dozen days later, Brigitte and her party arrived in Radiant Capital.

“Brigitte, it’s me!”

Shortly after Brigitte entered Radiant Capital, a handsome young man with short blond hair accompanied by a dozen soldiers came to her with a smile.

When Brigitte saw the young man, she immediately showed a bright and beautiful smile: “Ryan, it’s you! Are you an official?”

Ryan smiled and uttered: “Yes, His Majesty the Brave Lord has asked me to be in charge of receiving the braves coming from different places. By the way, His Majesty the Brave Lord will hold a banquet tonight to entertain everyone of the brave class.”

A peculiar gleam flashed in her eyes, and Brigitte asked, enunciating each syllable: “Ryan, why did His Majesty the Brave Lord call us here? Moreover, those who don’t heed his call will be declared as rebels? Please tell me the truth behind this.”

Ryan replied frankly: “There is nothing to hide! The greatest wish of His Majesty the Brave Lord Randt is to become the Hero, slay the Demon Lord, and get supreme honor. Therefore, he issued this order after he established the Kingdom of the Sun. As long as all braves promise not to compete with him for this honor, they will be conferred an aristocratic title, and will receive a huge sum of money.”

Brigitte asked, stupefied: “Just for this?”

In Brigitte’s view, this compulsory summon of all braves smelled of a conspiracy. Yet she didn’t expect that the “conspiracy” pertained just this.

Ryan answered: “Yes, that’s it. After I came to see him, His Majesty told me his purpose frankly. The banquet should be a pretext to tell you new arrivals about his aspirations and eliminate your concerns.”

Brigitte hesitated for a moment, and then followed Ryan towards the royal palace.

After going through numerous winding corridors, Brigitte stepped into a palace, where she saw nearly 100 braves.

These braves have different cultivation bases, ranging from level-7 to the Legend rank. Each of these nearly 100 braves are famous in their respective lands.

These braves famous throughout the Eternal Continent are gathered in Radiant Capital because of Yang Feng’s order. This is the supreme power of the Human Lord.

“His Majesty the Brave Lord is here!” A loud voices came from outside the hall.

Accompanied by the four beauties Brigina, Wilana, Marina, and Garlum and surrounded by guards, Yang Feng stepped into the hall.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

The braves in the hall all knelt on one knee and saluted Yang Feng.

“Please rise!”

Yang Feng walked to the throne, sat down, looked at the nearly 100 braves, and revealed a smile.

As the Human Lord, Yang Feng can conscript all these braves with a single order. This showcases how grate his power is.

After seeing the nearly 100 braves get up, Yang Feng smiled gently and said: “Ladies and Gentlemen, you must be very curious why I called you here. I will tell you now my purpose behind this.”

“I am from a remote village. But the village was destroyed by the Demon Lord. Ever since I was little, I made up my mind to kill the Demon Lord and avenge everyone in the village. I must become the Hero and slay the Demon Lord with my own hands. Only with this can I eliminate the shadow in my heart.”

“Ladies and Gentlemen, now that you have come to Radiant Capital, you can choose if you want to join the Kingdom of the Sun and serve the new human kingdom. As long as you join the Kingdom of the Sun, you will be conferred an aristocratic title. And every month, you will get a brave stipend, allowing you to live a quiet and well-off life.”

“My only requirement is that you leave the Demon Lord to me. Of course, if I die at the Demon Lord’s hands, then you can choose whether or not you want to become the new Hero and fight the Demon Lord.”

“Ladies and Gentlemen, please help me fulfill my only wish.” Yang Feng got up, bowed slightly in salute, and spoke with a sincere look on his face.

“All right!”

“Your Majesty, you can rest assured that everyone here will agree to your request!”

“Your Majesty, I am willing to serve the Kingdom of the Sun!”

“...”

Many of the braves who have already sided with Yang Feng proclaimed loudly.
