"See that village in front?"

Standing on the forest mountain road, Kaede pointed straight ahead and asked Cyrus behind him.

Without waiting for Cyrus to answer, Kaede said as if he was thinking about himself, "Let's go in and take a look." Taking

the lead into the village, the scene in the village was very clearly presented in the vision of the two.

A few elderly people in their twilight years sat in front of the house with their hands in their robes around a campfire, and when it was clear that winter was approaching, they were cloth cloth with pudding after pudding.

The village is also dilapidated, making people wonder if you can really sleep when it rains.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be poor or poor.

Kaede walked up and took out a few pieces of bread from the Kamui space and handed them over.

The moment several old men saw the bread, their eyes lit up like a hungry wolf who saw a sheep, and they almost pounced on Kaede's body. Despite this, the outstretched hands of several old men remained in mid-air, and then they were released.

Holding back the longing in his eyes, he asked in a very weak voice: "I don't know what this little brother means." Seeing

that although the old people were talking to themselves, their eyes did not move half a step away from the bread, Kaede felt funny and sad.

Passing the bread in the bag to the hand of the old man in front of him, Kaede smiled and said, "I'm just a traveler passing by here, and seeing a few old people like this, I want to do what I can." Hearing

Kaede say this, the old man took the bread and ate it with the rest of the old men, gobbling it up as if he hadn't eaten for days.

He took out a few bottles of water from the Shenwei space and handed them over, and after seeing that the old people had finished eating, Feng asked: "Old man, I have encountered many remote small villages along the way, basically the situation is like this, what caused it?" The prosperity of the imperial capital is said to be very rich. Perhaps

after eating something to regain their strength, or perhaps hearing the word empire, the faces of the old people finally had more expressions and colors.

"The Empire... The old man shook his head, "The empire has long since decayed, and those of us in small villages have long despaired of this country today. Since the death of the previous emperor and the accession of the current emperor, our disaster has also begun.

Kaede quietly listened to the old man's explanation as if complaining, and did not interrupt aloud, just fell silent.

"We have to pay a huge amount of money and food every year, and our already poor and backward villages can be said to be even worse, the first year was fine, but with the accumulation of time and the higher and higher payment fees year by year, not to mention the accumulation, even eating is a problem." And when we can't pay money and food, we are no longer protected by the state. The

old man smiled miserably, "The young people in the village either died because of the attack of the beast or left the village. There are only us old bones left, except that there is a meal waiting for death, the rest... What else can be done?

"What do you think of the revolutionary army that is rebelling against the empire?" Kaede asked after a moment of silence.

"The revolutionary army..." the old man shook his head, "although today's revolutionary army sometimes helps us people, everyone knows that it is just to win the hearts and minds of the people, and what really brings us fatal disasters is war, but... We very much hope that the revolutionary army can overthrow the rule of the empire as soon as possible.

"What did you say?!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, Cyrus, who had not spoken on the side, finally couldn't help but burst out, and without saying a word, he stepped forward and grabbed the old man's collar, "What are you talking about?" How could a righteous empire do such a thing? How can those evil ones who will take revenge hit us righteous imperial capital troops?

Cyrus's actions startled the old man, and after looking at Kaede, he plucked up the courage and said, "Justice? Didn't you also say that you are the 'Imperial Capital Army'? In addition to squeezing us, these small villages that do not belong to the imperial capital, have you accidentally managed our life and death? The

old man's words made Cyrus stunned, as if a word had woken her up, and let go of the old man's staggering back a few steps.

Yes, since joining the imperial capital to become a warrior, she has been instilled with the concept of absolute justice of the empire, she never seems to have thought about why they are called 'imperial capital army' instead of 'imperial army'

, looked at Cyrus, Kaede did not speak, just took out some food and left it for the old people, and then rushed to the next target point with Cyrus who was still stunned and did not return to God.

That's all he can do, and whether he lives or dies in the future can only depend on their own creation.

......

After visiting several villages in succession, Kaede finally did not continue, found a place to sit down and drank, Kaede asked: "After walking for so long, I have seen and heard a lot, how do you feel?"

After a moment of silence, Cyrus said, "Who knows if these villagers are deliberately pretending to be by you, and it is also possible that you are pretending to be the imperial capital... The imperial army did it, deliberately smeared it. Although

Cyrus was still tough on the lips, his words were not as confident as before.

Kaede looked at Cyrus quietly without speaking, just watching quietly.

Until Cyrus, who was watching it, was a little stunned, he smiled faintly and twisted his vision.

"Then let's go to the next location."
