Chapter 1423: The Ecstatic Civilians of the Luolin Empire

What the village chief entertained Barr and others was just some ordinary bread.

But these ordinary breads are really delicious in the eyes of Barr and others who are already very hungry.

While Baal and others were devouring bread, the village chief also introduced himself and the village.

The village chief's name is Dediu, he is 54 years old this year, and the village's name is Hena.

According to the observations made by Barr and others just now, although this Hena village is not a wealthy village, the lives of the villagers are generally considered healthy.

"Your Excellency, Village Chief." After Barr swallowed the bread in his mouth, he smiled at Dediu and said, "Thank you very much for your help."

"Okay, okay." Dediu waved his hand cheerfully, "You have said thank you so many times, I am tired of hearing it, it's just some bread, don't worry, just eat as much as you like. "

Having said this, Dedeu paused.

Then he continued:

"But - then again, travelers, you are so bold. Now that the war is in chaos, you still dare to travel around."

The self-introduction made by Barr and others to Dediu was that of a group of travelers who were traveling around the world.

"A mere war can't stop our enthusiasm for traveling." Eugene on the side smiled and answered, saying a line that fit their "traveller" setting.

"Hahaha!" Dediu touched his half-white beard, "You are indeed a traveler! This kind of courage and mind are admirable!"

"But now you don't have to worry about war anymore."

"After all - the war is over."

"Do you know? Our country has been defeated by the Britannia Empire. From now on, there should be no chance to see the Rollin Empire's flag flying there again."

"Well..." Barr nodded slightly, "We... know..."

Just then, Dediu's daughter-in-law came in carrying a tea tray full of tea cups.

She just happened to hear the conversation between Barr and others just now.

After laughing heartily a few times, Dediu's daughter-in-law said with a beaming face:

"This country's military has finally been defeated! How wonderful!"

As soon as Dediu's daughter-in-law finished speaking, Dediu continued with emotion:

"Yes, our army has finally been defeated, and we can finally hang the flag of the Britannia Empire here."

The two sentences just made by Dediu and Dediu's daughter-in-law made the expressions of Barr, Gil and others completely change.

"...Your Excellency Dediu." Barr frowned, "'Our country's army has finally been defeated'? How do you say this? Our country's defeat is something worth celebrating?"

"yes."

As soon as Barr finished speaking, Dediu nodded bluntly.

"It is indeed something worth celebrating."

"Since you are travelers who have traveled far and wide, you should know how dark this country has become over the years, right?"

“Endless tax increases.”

"Endless oppression."

Speaking of this, Dediu frowned slightly as if he recalled something bad.

"I've thought more than once - if only the people who were ruling this country would just fall."

"Anyway, I just want to make my current life better and the lives of everyone in this village better."

"As for who rules this land - I don't care."

"As long as it can make life better, it doesn't matter if this land becomes the land of the Britannian Empire."

"A few days ago, officials from the Britannia Empire came to us and announced the new policy to us."

"From now on, the taxes we need to pay every year will only be half of what we paid during the Luolin Empire."

"It's really great!" Dediu exclaimed in an excited tone. "When I learned that the taxes we would have to pay in the future will only be half of what we were before, I have never been as happy as I was then.

I'm so glad that Luo Lin's army was defeated, and I'm glad that I became a Britonian. "

As soon as Dediu finished speaking, his daughter-in-law standing beside him smiled and answered:

"Yes, fortunately, the Luo Lin Army was finally defeated. If they were allowed to fight against the Britannia Army for a few more years, we would have to wait for who knows how long before we can live as good a life as we do now..."

Before Dediu's daughter-in-law finished speaking, Barr punched the table in front of him and roared:

"What the hell are you all talking about!!"

"Are you actually glad that Luo Lin's army was defeated?!"

"Are your thoughts worthy of all the generals who gave their lives to protect this country and you?!"

"Are you so happy to be a slave to the country's subjugation?!"

Bal's sudden roar startled Dediu and his daughter-in-law.

It also shocked Gil, Jeanne and others.

Dedeu, Dedeu's daughter-in-law, and Jeanne may not quite understand why Barr is so excited, but Gilles, Eugène, and Charles quite understand why Barr is so extreme...

Because... they know what Barr has been fighting for for decades.

All to protect the people of this country...

And the people of this country actually said such things... It is strange that Barr can remain calm...

Although he didn't understand why Bal, a "traveler", was so excited, Dediu still frowned and asked Bal in a deep voice:

"Slave of a conquered country?"

"Sir, although I don't know what kind of life you lived before, I tell you clearly that ordinary people like us have only one goal in this life, that is to live a better life."

"When this land belonged to the Luolin Empire, the people in this whole village lived a bad life. So I hate the Luolin Empire."

"And after this land belongs to the Britannia Empire, we will live a better life, so I like the Britannia Empire."

"It's that simple."

"Don't talk to me about those empty principles."

"I only care whether the bread in my hand is enough and big enough."

"Whoever can make the bread in my hand more and bigger, I welcome him."

"As for the generals and soldiers you just mentioned who died in order to protect this country and the civilians of this country..."

"Sir, I want to ask you a question."

Dediu's sharp eyes seemed to penetrate Bal's body.

"When has the army of this country ever protected us?"

"The army of this country has always been protecting the small group of people who rule this country and maintaining the rule of that small group of people, right?"

"When have they ever protected the civilians of this country?"

"In fact, I always think that those generals and soldiers who always think they are trying to protect the civilians of this country must be self-satisfied idiots."

"They wishfully think that they are protecting the civilians of this country."

"But in the end, their hard work has made the civilians of this country further away from a happy life."
