"No, we can't go on like this. If the rumors continue to ferment, then by then all civilians will kill us Acropolis soldiers."
"So, we must explain clearly to the civilians that the food of our Acropolis soldiers has nothing to do with their food."
"Then how should we explain it? Now the common people in the city have basically misunderstood us, but we can't go around the streets to explain this matter."
"Well, how about we go to the square again and explain this matter clearly."
"As long as some civilians understand it, it will definitely be spread to other civilians."
"The leader of Nuuk City is right. Let's do this. We immediately summoned some of our subordinates to go to the Holy City Square together."
"Of course, the reason why I brought my subordinates here is not for other purposes, but simply because the large number of people will easily attract the attention of the civilians!"
"good!"
After that, all the Acropolis commanders did not hesitate, and each took five or six thousand subordinates and went straight to the Holy City Square.
But they didn't know that every move they and others made was expected by the Flame High Priest.
Soon, news about the actions of several people was sent to the Flame High Priest.
"Your Majesty the High Priest, do we have to find a way to interrupt their gathering? Otherwise, if the civilians really listen, our previous efforts will be in vain."
-
The commander of the city guard felt a little guilty, because the treatment of their city guards was indeed very high.
If this matter is revealed, then maybe people's misunderstanding about the Acropolis soldiers will be resolved by then.
It is more likely that people will target the city guards directly.
However, the high priest sneered and shook his head: "Stop them from gathering? Why stop them? This is the opportunity I'm waiting for."
"I have arranged everything. The best time to deal with them is after they start the rally!"
The city guard commander was stunned when he heard this, but when the high priest said this, he said no more.
And soon, a group of Acropolis commanders came to the Holy City Square with their men.
Although their total number this time is only over 20,000.
However, because the Acropolis soldiers now pay too much attention in the Holy City.
This has attracted a lot of attention along the way.
Many civilians even saw the Acropolis commanders approaching the square and secretly followed them to see what was going on.
Naturally, the Acropolis commanders were happy to hear this, and they were eager for more civilians to watch.
Only in this way can it be explained clearly.
Even when the leader of Nuuk City went to the podium in the center of the square, he specifically asked the civilians to gather around him.
"Fellow civilians, we Acropolis soldiers came to the square this time just to clarify something to you."
"So all civilians, please come here. We Acropolis soldiers have something to say."
Following the words of the leader of Nuk City, the civilians slowly came over.
Although the vast majority of civilians in the city are currently living at the level of food and clothing that means they will not die from hunger, they have gone out for activities as much as possible to reduce consumption.
But the time chosen by the Acropolis commanders was exactly the time when many civilians went to collect supplies.
Following their voices, over 100,000 people gathered in the square.
Moreover, as time goes by, the number of civilians passing by is still slowly increasing.
The leaders of the Acropolis were afraid that the High Priest of Fire would come to stop them later, so they stopped talking at the moment.
So the commander of Nuuk City continued: "Dear civilians, our Acropolis soldiers have heard about the rumors these days."
"We Acropolis soldiers feel very unjust about this, because our Acropolis soldiers' rations are not stolen from civilians."
"Because we Acropolis soldiers originally had two meals of black bread a day, but the High Priest of Fire suddenly cut our rations."
"Our last gathering was just to fight for our original rights and interests from the High Priest."
"In this way, after the high priest restored the rations of our Acropolis soldiers, some people spread rumors that our Acropolis soldiers had robbed them. This is completely sinister."
"I hope you don't have to believe it. After all, we Acropolis soldiers all come from civilian families, and all of you here are just like our parents and sisters."
"Even if we starve to death, we don't dare to compete with our parents and sisters for food!"
The leader of Nuk City immediately explained to the civilians.
And it was specifically stated that the Acropolis soldiers came from civilian groups.
And civilians did know this in the past.
As soon as the emotional faction leader of Nuk City was attacked, there were whispers among the civilians.
Many civilians slightly agreed with the statement of the leader of Nuuk City, nodding their heads and saying that the soldiers of the Acropolis were indeed stronger than the city guards in the past.
What the City Guards like most is bullying civilian traders.
The Acropolis soldiers are only responsible for guarding the city on weekdays and do not care about the streets in the city. This image is much better than that of the City Guards.
But now that the Flame High Priest is ready to attack them in this square, it means that the clarification by the Acropolis leaders will definitely not go smoothly.
The next moment, some people in the crowd looked at each other and said loudly: "Humph, this is all a lie."
"My neighbor's uncle was cleaning the temple, and he heard the conversation between the captains of the Acropolis and the high priest that day.
"It is said that the High Priest told them that there was a shortage of food in the Holy City, so they had to reduce the rations of the soldiers in the Acropolis."
"But they don't care about these Acropolis captains. They rely on the fact that the Holy City needs them now, and they ask the high priest to increase their rations."
"Otherwise they wouldn't fight, so the high priest had no choice but to agree to them!"
"Yes, my brother works in the material warehouse. He also said that originally our rations were not deducted."
"But because of the protest of the Acropolis soldiers that day, there was a sudden notice to stop the distribution of food. Doesn't this mean that the Acropolis soldiers robbed us of our rations?"
"That's right, it was the Acropolis soldiers who robbed us of our rations. They are really bad. Everyone, many of you may not have had your rations taken away yet."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But if the rations in the city become less and less, and all of them have to be supplied to the soldiers of the Acropolis, then you will also be hungry!"
"
"Who, who is talking nonsense? If you have the ability, stand up for me and we will confront you!"
Facing the loud shouts from the crowd below, the expressions of the Acropolis commanders above immediately changed drastically.
Because these provocative words, just a few words, caused the expressions of the civilians who had nodded in agreement with them to change.
If other civilians were deprived of food, then although they were angry, they would not hate the Acropolis soldiers.
But once they heard that it was their turn and others' food to be robbed in the future, these civilians became irrational.
Even though this possibility is extremely low, no one dares to bet.
After all, once there is no food, it means starving to death.
In this case, how can they speak for the soldiers on the Acropolis?
"Everyone, please listen to me. The rations for our Acropolis soldiers are only two meals of black bread a day, while the city guards only have three meals a day of black bread."
"If there is not enough food, the food of the city guards can be reduced completely, so it is not that we soldiers of the city robbed your food!"
The leader of Nuk City saw the crowd getting restless and immediately explained loudly.
"Don't believe them, these Acropolis soldiers are definitely deceiving us."
"Yes, after they protested last time, civilians' food was immediately taken away. What if they protest again next time?"
"That's right, these Acropolis soldiers are too bad. We don't need them to protect us. It would be nice if we had the City Guards. The Holy City was originally protected by the City Guards."
"Down with the Acropolis soldiers, we don't need the Acropolis soldiers to protect us!"
"Down with the Acropolis soldiers so they don't need to protect us!"
Faced with the explanation given by the leader of Nuk City and instigated by thoughtful people, no civilians could think rationally.
With waves of chanting, the crowd actually began to push the Acropolis soldiers.
The soldiers on the Acropolis were already angry because they had been wronged, so they naturally glared at these civilians.
"Acropolis soldiers obey orders, no one is allowed to use weapons..."
