Chapter 1347: Fighting with the Citizens of Orleans (Part 1)

The next day——

Orleans, the Rollin Empire.

A piece of news spread rapidly among the citizens of Orleans.

"Hey, do you know? The newly stationed troops in Orleans seem to be doing some activities in the central square. They are inviting us to watch."

"Activity? What activity?"

"I don't know."

"Hmph, who cares what activity it is, I have no interest in these soldiers now, they can do whatever activities they want."

"Well, we don't have anything to do now anyway, so why not join in the fun."

......

The rapid spread of this news has caused more and more people to rush to the central square in the center of Orleans.

The central square is already full of people who have come to join in the fun.

Some who came late can only stand on the periphery of the square, tiptoeing to observe the movements of the central square.

In the center of the central square, there is a wooden suggestion platform.

On the platform, several soldiers dressed in helmets and armor, dressed as guards, are standing.

In addition to these soldiers dressed as guards, there is a square object covered with linen in a corner of the platform. Because of the linen covering, people cannot see what is covered by the linen.

In the middle of these soldiers dressed as guards, there stands an old man with bare upper body and white hair and beard.

Although this old man is old, his strong body does not look like an old man at all.

The exposed upper body shows strong muscles one after another.

It's a pity that because of his old age, the muscles and skin of this old man are a little loose.

But these loose muscles and skin still silently announce the majesty of this old man when he was young.

Seeing that the number of people gathered in the square is enough, the old man cleared his throat.

Then he shouted loudly:

"Everyone of Orleans! I am the general who led 20,000 troops to enter Orleans yesterday-Denis de Dupont!"

As soon as Denis finished speaking, the people who crowded the central square immediately burst into an uproar.

No one understood why the new general of the garrison of Orleans was shirtless in the central square for no reason.

And Denis quickly answered their question.

"The reason why I invited you all here today is to hold a small friendly boxing match here! Enhance friendship with everyone in Orleans!"

"The representative player of our army is me!"

"Those who are confident in their skills can come on stage and compete with me!"

"Whoever can beat me! These things belong to him!"

After that, Deni pulled off the sackcloth that was covering the unknown object, revealing the scene under the sackcloth-

A mountain of banknotes piled on a small table.

After this mountain of banknotes appeared from under the sackcloth, the eyes of the people were instantly straight!

"I'll explain it in advance!"

Denis continued.

"Today's small friendly boxing match will only be held once!"

"That is to say - only one person has the chance to get this money!"

"So please hurry up if you are interested!"

At this point, Deni said no more.

He quietly looked at the citizens of Orleans under the high platform, silently waiting for the challenger to come on stage.

The citizens gathered in the central square looked at each other.

No one came on stage to challenge Deni.

After a while, suddenly a sharp, slightly angry male voice sounded from the crowd:

"Do you think we are fools?! You soldiers are willing to give us so much money? We will not be fooled by you soldiers again!"

As soon as the man said this, several voices echoed immediately.

Because of these people's words, the people who were originally confused, gradually showed some hostility in their eyes towards Deni and others.

Their bad memories about soldiers gradually emerged from their minds.

Although they had guessed that such a situation might occur,

but when this situation really occurred, Deni couldn't help but feel anxious.

At this moment, a male voice that seemed more pleasant than any other voice to Deni came into his ears:

"I'm here! I'm here to challenge you!"

This voice not only attracted the attention of Deni on the platform, but also the attention of the citizens around him.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

The person who spoke was a young man about 20 years old.

The clothes he wore were quite worn and had quite a lot of patches on them, which showed that the young man's family background was not very good.

Although he was wearing clothes and his body was covered by them, the strong muscles under his clothes could be clearly felt through the clothes.

The young man separated the people blocking his way and walked slowly towards the platform where Deni was.

"Welcome to you."

After the young man climbed onto the platform, Deni smiled and saluted the challenger.

"Don't come with so many fancy things!"

The young man scolded in a bad tone.

"I'm here to fight you, not to do these fancy things with you!"

After saying that, the young man took off his clothes, revealing his muscular upper body.

"I'll be frank with you."

The young man got ready.

"I'm not here to challenge you for the money."

"I just want to give you a good beating!"

"It's because of you damn soldiers that everyone had a hard time last year!"

"Do you think there are only a few Februarys in a year? I worked for you for two months, but I didn't get any pay! How many families in Orleans almost couldn't even eat bread because of you soldiers!"

"I get angry when I see you guys in armor!"

"I must give you a good beating!"

"...I'm sorry for what happened."

Deni apologized to the young man in an apologetic tone.

"It's a shame for us to have such scum in our army."

"If you want to beat me up, then beat me up."

"It's just--"

Deni raised his hands and got ready for battle.

"You have to beat me first."

"Hmph! You old man should think about how to prevent your waist from being sprained before thinking about how to defeat me!"

"Although I am old, I still have a burning heart. Before we start, tell me your name, young man."

"...... Suchet. Suchet Casimir."

"Come on, Suchet. Let me see if you have the ability to beat me hard."

"Hmph! I'll show you if I have the ability now!"

After saying that, Suchet moved his feet and closed the distance between himself and Denis at a very fast speed.

After Denis entered his attack range, Suchet swung his right fist directly and hit Denis' chest.

From Suchet's footwork and punching movements, it is not difficult to see that Suchet has a good foundation in fighting.

However - his opponent is a soldier.
