A strange world

Chapter 935 Section 166. Joining the gang

"How many of you are there?"

"Uh, there should be thirty people including the children..."

"Children?"

"They are the kids who sell your newspapers. Their relatives died of plague, so we took them in, fed them, and asked them to work..."

Francois said in a playful tone: "I didn't expect you to be good people?"

The former Salted Fish Gang leader sighed: "In this world... you can't survive without being a bad guy..."

"Excuses."

Francois coldly exposed his excuses, and said in the awkward silence of the gangsters: "But I don't blame you... you were once someone's child, someone's husband, someone's employee, and you had your own land and home. And all of this was destroyed by the Recanel Kingdom that colluded with the rat people."

Some kind of emotion surged in their hearts, and a gangster whose face had not yet gotten rid of his childishness suddenly said in a daze: "New boss, what does it mean to collude with the rat people."

They knew nothing. In the eyes of the lower class people in the kingdom, the rat people came, the kingdom could not resist, and took them to flee to the west. So although life is hard, compared to those who were killed by ratmen and died on the road, at least they are still alive..."

The old boss said: "Little Smo's father was a soldier and died on the front line..."

"What it means is that the Kingdom of Rekanel has long been dissatisfied with the old continental system. They want to expand their territory, so they colluded with the ratmen and told the ratmen about the defense lines and weaknesses of the surrounding countries, hoping that the ratmen would capture these countries, and then stage a drama on the border so that they have an excuse to send troops, recapture those lands, and make the kingdom strong again..."

"But they played too much, and the ratmen went back on their words and invaded in a big way. The royal family, who could not stop the ratmen, fled to the west with their people and concealed the truth. "

The truth brought by Francois made it difficult for the gangsters to breathe, and then they were angry.

When the carefully constructed false cage was broken, the people in the cage would naturally be overwhelmed by the anger of being deceived all the time.

Look, people only need a trigger, a truth, to completely become another person.

Francois didn't want to say it now, but he felt that this was a good opportunity: "Do you want to overthrow the old and corrupt kingdom and become the new master here?"

The old boss opened his mouth, and reason prevailed again: "I...we?"

"We, but not just us." Francois opened his hands, "There are countless people in this kingdom who have been kept in the dark, and people outside the kingdom who want to help you. We are just one of this huge crowd. "

A strong backing can solve many worries, and in addition, they also need firm beliefs.

So Francois brought "300 Warriors of Liberty City", and if that's not enough, there are also "Redemption of Betar" and "When Freedom Comes Knocking".

"Take me one! "

Little Smooth, who only wanted to avenge his father, spoke first.

Other hooligans spoke one after another, leaving only the old boss silent. When Francois looked at them, he was shocked: "I, I'll join too!"

Francois had been in the lower levels, and he knew how to keep them secret: "Very good, now we are a group. Or you can bet that after you inform on the nobles, they will reward you instead of arresting and executing you, and take the credit for themselves."

"Don't worry, whoever dares to betray me will never be spared!" The old boss patted his chest and promised.

Francois did not comment: "How many people are there on this street?"

"There should be hundreds of people..."

"Very good, they are all our targets to win over, you..."

"Dal, just call me Dal."

"Dal, you are now divided into two groups, you go and count how many residents are without food and sick, little Smooth——"

"My lord! "

Little Smooth followed his father's example and straightened his body.

"Don't be so serious... You take two people to call back the other members of the Salted Fish Gang, as well as the children."

Dal and Little Smoo led their people to set off separately. After Francois was the only one left in the old nest, he searched around and hid in the attic, watching the two waves of people going away through the window.

This is a group of hooligans struggling to survive in the quagmire. They may yearn for light, but who knows if there will be idiots who want to drag the people who rescued them into the quagmire...

Little Smoo came back first with his gang members and children. After confirming that there were no soldiers following them, Francois went back downstairs.

Little Smoo only said that a new gang leader had come, and his status was noble, so the hooligans who could only bully civilians usually looked timid in front of Francois.

"Don't be nervous, please allow me to introduce myself..."

...

"Boss, why don't we run... We can't afford to offend the Kingdom and Free City..."

Dal's followers walked a few steps closer and said.

"Where to run? "

Dal said bluntly: "Do you remember why we founded the Salted Fish Gang?"

"For salted fish...?"

"Idiot! We want to get rich, stand out, and never be looked down upon again!" Dale was faintly excited, "Now the opportunity has come! Look at these people, there is no hope, they are just a group of living corpses, I will rot if I stay here!"

The follower said timidly: "But... this seems to be the way out."

"Idiot, are you still going to ask one by one? Let's go find Lame Babu, he must know!"

Lame Babu lived in a leaky shed. Several women standing outside the door saw Dale and ran away in a hurry.

Dal didn't have time to chat with them, so he walked straight in and asked: "How many people are there on the street?"

The simple shed had nothing but a straw bed. An old man sat in the straw bed, his gray hair tied up and his linen clothes washed and faded, making him look clean.

"Boss Dar, why are you asking this?"

"Old man, you have too many questions!"

Dar was impatient to get the answer from Lame Babu and couldn't wait to return to his nest.

As soon as the henchman opened the door, he screamed and fell at Dar's feet.

"Ratmen! So many ratmen!"

At this time, a gang member walked out of the door: "What are you arguing about."

"Ratmen!"

"What ratmen? That's a magic image. Haven't you seen it?"

The follower got up in shame and anger: "Of course I know... but no one said it's the same as the real thing."

"It's real..." The gang member looked back and ignored them, "Shh, stop arguing, the soldiers are going to set off!"

The attitude of the gangsters made Dahl unhappy. These bastards who changed their minds with the wind, he brought them out of the slums in the first place--

Thinking so, Dahl saw the magic image projected on the wall, and his complaints turned into amazement.

If you want to ask what the effect of "300 Warriors in Liberty City" is? I can only say that during the period after the screening, the musketeers in various commercial streets were always given flowers by girls and food by women when they were patrolling.

They were even crazy enough to block the Liberty City Legion's base, just to take a look at the heroes appearing on the screen.

But there are things you hate and things you like, for example, Liberty City stole the credit: before the first to third place had said anything, the whole room was filled with the excitement of the tenth place shouting -
