Chapter 95 The King Forces You to Kneel in the Name of Secularity

In the prison of the Kingdom of Solbay, a tall man wearing a spotted fisherman’s hat, a black jacket and white tights was leaning against a dirty wall, his hands were tightly locked with seastone handcuffs, his body was dirty and his face was covered with dried blood.

Under the shadow of the hat brim, a pair of eyes with determination and a hint of cruelty stared at the railing in front of him, as if he was considering how likely it was that he could use his body to knock it open.

As a member of the Bakanni tribe with the blood of giants, Bartholomew Big Bear is nearly seven meters tall and has terrifyingly strong muscles. The fence, which is only as thick as his fingers, cannot withstand his brutal charge.

Although he was wearing seastone handcuffs, the Kingdom of Solbe was a small country that had been poor and weak for a long time. The purity of the seastone handcuffs it had was extremely low, and the suppression of the bear was not as severe as imagined. He still had the power to resist.

However, when the king’s army threatened the lives of civilians in the south, even if he had all the means at his disposal, he could not sit idly by and watch those who had good intentions towards him die tragically in battle.

Besides, he wasn’t actually very good at fighting.

After escaping from the Valley of Gods, he stayed in the Kingdom of Solbe and became a priest who healed the sick and saved lives.

The development of the fruit’s ability is limited to bouncing away people’s pain, bouncing oneself or others to other locations, and using the shock waves generated by the meat-ball fruit’s ability to shock people half to death.

With these three abilities, he was able to withstand the offensive of the King’s Army head-on, but was unable to stop their despicable tactics, so he was unfortunately arrested.

“I wonder how Ginny and the others are doing?”

After hesitating for a moment, Xiong finally did not try to escape.

Although he has a strong body, he is still flesh and blood and cannot use the power of the fruit. The jailers and the king’s army only need one volley of fire to end his life.

At the moment, he could only pray that his remaining companions would not be impulsive, protect the elderly and children in the village, and not let them be captured by the king’s army.

Especially Ginny, the childhood sweetheart who grew up with him and even wanted to marry him.

He knew very well how stubborn she was and that she might bring people to rescue him on impulse.

But the helpless people in the southern villages and the church were no match for the king’s army. If they rushed to rescue him rashly, they would only end up in jail together.

“Just stay calm, Ginny.”

Xiong murmured, looking at the cute ball of flesh on his broad palm that looked like a bear’s paw. He seemed to remember the words that the sunny and cheerful girl said when she proposed to him.

……

……

“Bastard King, give the bear back to me!”

On the main road of a town in the north of the Kingdom of Solbe, a woman with short pink and purple hair held up a wooden sign, followed by several men in plain clothes holding up cardboards and banners and shouting loudly:

“Abolish slavery! Let the bears out!”

“The people of the South will never surrender. We don’t want to be slaves!”

“The bear is a hero who protects the people. Let him out quickly!”

Around the main road, many residents from northern towns gathered around, with an indescribable light in their eyes and an eager look on their faces. They wanted to join in but were hesitant to take the first step.

In order to pay the heavenly gold, King Bekoli divided the northern and southern parts of the Solbe Kingdom, completely abandoned the people in the south, and treated those citizens like slaves and garbage. In fact, he did not win the hearts of the people in the north.

The people are not fools. Since Bekoli can abandon the residents in the south now, he can abandon the civilians in the north except for the royal capital in the future. Sooner or later, they will end up like this.

But they are currently the vested interests. If they want to follow the southern residents and call for the abolition of the slave policy, they will be abandoned by the kingdom and thrown directly to the southern villages to become slaves at the mercy of others. When the slave policy came out before, it was not that no one stood up to protest, but they were all thrown south of the North-South dividing line at the first opportunity, and then dragged back by the king’s army like a dead dog, saying that these were the slaves they caught in the south.

Therefore, even though they were all dissatisfied and wanted to vent their dissatisfaction, they could only stand on the side of the road and watch the people on the main road shouting loudly, asking the king to abolish the slavery policy and release their companions.

“People of the North, are you going to watch your former compatriots become slaves?”

“We are the ones being treated like commodities now, and it will be you in the future. If you don’t stand up and resist now, you will never have the chance to resist again!”

At the front of the parade, Ginny was holding up a wooden sign and waving it vigorously, shouting and glancing at the onlookers with a slightly anxious look.

She could see that they all had expressions of interest on their faces, but they just stood there, unwilling to join the parade with her and others.

She didn’t understand why everyone was unwilling to stand up and fight against the king’s evil policies when they clearly had the same demands.

“Why? Obviously, the Self-Defense Forces did the same thing.”

The woman with short pink and purple hair, Ginny, couldn’t help but mutter to herself.

Xiongxiong had told her when he was reading in the newspaper that the Self-Defense Army had launched large-scale demonstrations in various countries and successfully forced the kings to retract their evil policies.

She was doing the same thing as them, but why was there no one responding?
Ginny was puzzled and bewildered. Was it because she was too cute and not as cool as the leader of the Self-Defense Force, Long, that no one would join?
Just when she was puzzled, the king’s army, who had noticed the commotion, arrived late, noisily driving away the onlookers, and surrounded the parade team with various weapons in hand.

These ruffian members of the King’s Army wore baggy clothes and had contempt and disdain on their faces. Rather than being an army protecting the people, they were more like a group of thugs in dog skins.

The bald leader had a scar on his face and looked ferocious. He was waving a knife in his hand as if he was shooing away flies.
“Go, arrest all these troublemakers, beat them up and throw them into jail.”

He didn’t even bother to ask what was going on with Ginny and the others, and directly signaled his men to take action.

Anyway, they were just a bunch of southern untouchables without citizenship. They made trouble in public, discussed state affairs and insulted the king. We were lucky that we didn’t beat them to death on the spot.

Ginny and the others were surrounded by a group of grinning royal soldiers, but there was no fear in their eyes. They just stood back to back, ready to resist arrest.

Ginny, who was in the lead, used the wooden sign in her hand as a weapon to block in front of her. A guy with a lewd face approached her with an evil smile, saying dirty words. She was so angry that she smashed the guy to the ground with the wooden sign, and several teeth fell out.

Seeing that these untouchables dared to resist, the soldiers of the King’s Army immediately became angry and picked up their weapons to swing at Ginny and others.

The few fishermen who followed Ginny in the demonstration, including herself, actually didn’t know how to fight. The wooden sticks and signs in their hands were broken in a few strokes, and they could only face the incoming weapons with their bare hands.

A spear was coming down on her head, and Ginny raised the half-broken wooden stick in her hand to try to block it.

However, her strength was too weak and the stick was too small to block such a powerful blow. She felt severe pain in her palm and her hand was directly shaken away.

Seeing that the spear was about to hit her head, Ginny’s face showed a bit of panic. Just as she hurriedly raised her hand to use her arm to block the attack on her head, suddenly a series of sounds of sharp blades entering flesh came into her ears.

Ginny, who had once been a slave of the Celestial Dragons and witnessed the Battle of Gods Valley with her own eyes, knew very well that this was the sound of a human body being pierced.

Before she could put down her arms to widen her blocked vision, several screams suddenly rang out.

At the same time, thick blood was spilled on the ground in front of him.

While she was stunned, a huge shadow enveloped her from behind, and then a familiar voice sounded:

“Ginny, I’m here to see you.”
