Chapter 67 The Kyiv Upheaval
For Rostislav, this night was the most satisfying night since he came to this era. Countless glory accompanied him, and countless people shouted his name. His future was extremely bright, as if he was walking on a bright road.

This night, he also threw away his former restraint, and drank glass after glass of wine until he almost couldn't get up. Fortunately, the last willpower allowed him to control himself, so he was not completely drunk.

When the sun rose on the second day, the former battlefield was full of drunks. When the scouts from Pei City who were sent by the Polovets hurriedly left the city found this place, they couldn't help but be amazed to see this scene.

The news of the victory quickly spread to Pei City, and the city was naturally joyous, their Grand Duke had won the victory, and they were no longer under the threat of the nomadic machete.

The third uncle of Prince Ross, Vsevolod, left the city with his own soldiers and hurried to his father and brother, where he also learned about Rostislav's achievements. The young prince couldn't help being surprised by his nephew's achievements. The future is bound to be limitless for the young prince in battle.

The militiamen from Peicheng also rushed to the battlefield one after another, and began to help the Kyiv army clean up the battlefield. For the people of Peicheng, they saved themselves, so they should help them clean up the battlefield. Everyone's enthusiasm is very high.

At noon, the effects of the hangover dissipated among the drunkards on the ground. They slapped their heads with difficulty and got up, and then they were driven by the soldiers to do various sundries. The battlefield had to be dealt with, and the barracks had to be cleaned up.

But after only two days, they had to abandon these jobs and hand them over to the citizens of Pecheng, while the commanders of the Ross army were in the worst mood. Yaroslav's face was the ugliest, and the reason was very simple .

Riots broke out in Kyiv.

--------

Let us turn the time to the nights of the previous few days. At that time, the black hats who fled from the battlefield returned to Kyiv. They ran for a day and a night without hesitation, bringing news of the defeat of the Grand Duke's army, and then arrived one after another. The Ross's rout undoubtedly shows the authenticity of this matter.

This made Kyiv explode in an instant. The failure of the Grand Duke means that they have lost their protection. Many people have heard it countless times from old people.

Fear weighed down like a boulder, and everyone was almost crushed by it, and the reaction outside the city was especially strong, and it caused upheaval.

The peasants who took refuge outside Kyiv were once again exploited by profiteers with high grain prices after the Grand Duke left. Behind those profiteers were the rich and powerful in Kyiv. They were restrained when the Grand Duke was there. Witcher, who was supposed to distribute food, didn't even distribute food. Many people in the "slums" had starved to death.

The news of the Grand Duke's failure became the last straw that overwhelmed the people. The squeezed dissatisfaction mixed with the fear of war continued to ferment among the crowd, and a qualitative change occurred. Once the qualitative change was completed, the result would be terrible.

And at this time, a group of Perun believers suddenly stood up and told the people that it was the people who worshiped the God of the Cross in the city who created all this and that they caused today's predicament.

Believers of the Slavic gods have been active among the peasants these days, and they have won the trust of everyone with food and medical care.Now, they're starting to channel popular anger, and it's been very successful.

"Kill those Christians!"

"Burn them all!"

"Get that what-Christ out of Ross! It's the one that brought the greedy!"

The farmers full of complaints and hatred uttered such voices, their anger has been completely ignited, and the words that they dared not say before are now spoken unscrupulously, and even many citizens have joined their ranks, and the citizens are also affected by those damned The oppression of the rich and powerful made life difficult.

No one came out to stop all of this. Weicher's militia had long ignored what happened outside the city, and now they were naturally powerless to govern.

"Yes, that's it! Go kill those damned lords! Go get your things back!"

The warlock roared from a high place, and with his words, those passionate emotions reached their peak.And there was also a crazy expression on Warlock's face, the incomparably frenzied scene in front of him was exactly what he needed most.

The anger of the people has been ignited. At this moment, the dignitaries of Kyiv suddenly realized that the situation that should have been under control is actually not under control. Those farmers and citizens who were mistreated by them suddenly took up arms at this moment to resist them. !
Even the Black Hats were in turmoil. Anyway, they have already betrayed Grand Duke Ross, so what’s the point of betraying them now? Taking this opportunity to go to Kyiv to grab a wave should be done. Anyway, Yaroslav is probably dead (they it seems).

As the city gate of Kyiv was opened by someone, the farmers who had been kept out entered the city with weapons, and the restless people in the city also raised their weapons, and nomadic riders galloped on the streets, everything changed.

Rostislav's red mansion was originally very quiet on weekdays. After all, Rostislav was basically not in his mansion except at night, but now, there are countless torches standing on the courtyard wall, and people in armor are everywhere. There are also people who are debugging bows and arrows.

"Your Highness Zoe, please follow us, this place is too dangerous, those mobs may kill us at any time!"

Leo was dressed as a warrior at the moment, wearing a pointed iron hat and chain mail. With his strong body, it was completely impossible to see that he was actually a person who was proficient in books.

The clerks under Leo also dressed in the same way, more or less armed themselves with armor, but compared to Leo, these group of people just looked so crappy, crooked and not like soldiers at all.

In contrast, the soldiers left behind by Prince Ross around Zoe stood so upright. This armor seemed to be weightless on the body, with their backs straight and their hands resting on the hilt of their swords, ready to fight at any time. Stand up with your sword drawn.

"No, absolutely not."

Zoe was wearing a black robe, her hair was tied back, and her words were full of determination.

"My husband's savings are here. He can't lose this money. I won't leave."

In the red house of Prince Ross, the huge wealth he inherited from his father is placed, which is the foundation of future entrepreneurship.

"This... your husband won't blame you if you think about it, saving your life is the most important thing now! We can take as much gold and silver as we can."

Leo is also Rostislav's confidant, so he knows the news, but he cares more about saving Zoe's life than gold and silver. If Yi is gone, his investment can be said to have failed completely, which is something Leo absolutely does not want to see.

But Zoe has said that, and he has nothing to do. As for taking away by force, it's not that he can't take away Zoe by force, but that his crooked melons who have just put on armor will definitely not be able to protect Zoe. Those dozens of soldiers.

"Your Highness Zoe, a group of armed men came outside the door, and they said they want to see you."

At this time, a soldier pushed open the door and conveyed a news that made the situation suddenly tense.
