People are in the Ark, I am the mastermind behind them

The emperor took it and read aloud the contents of the code.

In this code, many old laws were abolished, and some urgent problems of the emerging nobles were answered. It laid the foundation for the development of Ursus' light industry.

Fyodor can be sure that this code will bring light and a better future to the Ursus people.

In addition, the emperor achieved an unexpected victory.

After the new nobles tasted the benefits of infected workers, they were quite dissatisfied with the old nobles' waste of resources and wanton slaughter of infected people.

You know, even if you search all over Ursus, you can't find anyone who can endure hardship more and work more efficiently than the infected.

For the new nobles, protecting the lives of infected people is protecting their private property.

After many battles, the old and new nobles reached a compromise.

Fyodor cleared his throat, put down the code, and made a declaration to each noble.

"In view of the changes in the management of infected people, we must make changes in order to cope with new situations in the future."

"I announce that Ursus will establish an Infected Emergency Management Bureau in each mobile city. This department will be directly responsible to the Imperial Parliament."

"Any execution of infected people in the mobile city must be approved by the Imperial Council, otherwise, it will be considered an illegal act!"

This move directly put shackles on the infected pickets, and they were no longer able to kill infected people wantonly.

That's one small step for Ursus, one giant leap for the infected.

Chapter 67: Assassination of Fyodor

Today is Ursus’ annual parade day.On this day, Fyodor would ride a horse-drawn carriage and inspect the city of Saint-Joncastle, distributing sugar and grain seeds along the way to encourage farming.

In order to get the emperor's blessing, every household wore new clothes and dressed themselves up neatly.Early in the morning, rows of citizens stood on both sides of the street, stretching their necks to look at the Winter Palace surrounded by guards.

They were waiting for the salute to sound, at which time a detachment of royal cavalry would lead the way, followed by the vehicles of Fyodor and other officials.

In order to deal with emergencies, there are guards along the entire route. They will search the citizens in advance, but they do not dare to search the nobles carefully and always do it hastily.

In the slums of St. Jun's Castle, an infected person took out a long shirt that he did not often wear from a broken wooden box to cover the traces of Originium on his body. He washed his face with water and then put on the shirt.

The infected person's name was Lev, who was once a teacher. After unfortunately being infected with ore disease, Lev hid in Tibet and worked illegally to make a living.

Lev heard that His Majesty the Emperor opened an infected factory in the Holy Castle, and infected people could go to the factory to find a way to survive.These factories are specially set up for infected people, providing food, and even providing suppressants and painkillers for efficient workers.

Compared with the previous brutal suppression and massacre, Fyodor's policy can be called benevolent.

As an educated intellectual, Lev could feel the new emperor's kindness to the people.These days, the new emperor frequently promulgates laws. Not only does he seek the welfare of his people, he is also gradually trying to establish safeguards to ease conflicts among various classes.

The wages of workers at the bottom have been raised, and infected people have been given a new way out; after years of stagnation, the government has begun to invest and develop light industry; people who have been engaged in agriculture all year round have also received benefits. Fyodor has designated a series of policies in an attempt to Use industry to feed agriculture.

Ursus is changing, in every sense of the word.The new emperor held a sword in one hand and a grammar in the other. He saw the suffering of Ursus in his eyes and wanted to seek a livelihood for his people.

Walking on the street, Lev could see a huge portrait of Fyodor from time to time.The people have really benefited, and people believe in the new emperor.

When the people of Ursus were in trouble, they prayed to the ethereal gods, but the gods did not answer.

As they gathered in Ursus Square hoping that their "little daddy" would save them, Fyodor lent a helping hand.

Nobles who raised prices were hanged, and the price of fuel in Holy Castle dropped sharply overnight, allowing countless families to survive.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we respect and love you!"

Several workers waved flags with Fyodor's name on them, their eyes wild.

Not far from the square, a wandering singer sang a newly composed song while keeping time.

"Emperor of Ursus, leading his people forward"

"Follow him, everyone can drink ale, and everyone can afford food."

Gradually, sporadic solo singing turned into a chorus, until thousands of people were humming along to the singer's rhythm.

"Our Holy King, our savior, the little daddy of every Ursus"

Lev smiled. Looking at the angry faces of the people, he felt that life was not so bad.

God blessed the Ursus people. In an era of economic depression and intensified conflicts, they welcomed such a great monarch.

The infected person squeezed forward along with the crowd until he reached the front row, which was a good seat to watch the parade.

Lev has decided that he is going to the infected factory. He doesn't want to live a life without meals.

However, before going, he wanted to see the emperor with his own eyes. He wanted to write down the appearance of the monarch.

Next to Lev, stood a lady. She was wearing a pure black coat and holding a handkerchief in her hand. She looked a little dazzling in the crowd.

The people around grabbed the guardrail and tried their best to look into the distance, waiting for Fyodor to come.But the lady's eyes were wide open and she looked a little frightened. She lowered her head from time to time and looked at the pocket watch in her hand.

Lev glanced at the lady. He thought that the lady might be some small noble. Her temperament seemed incompatible with her surroundings.

Lev felt a little unhappy when he thought about the nobles.Like most Ursus commoners, he detested the nobility and these greedy parasites.

Moreover, Lev could often hear rumors that even the emperor of Ursus was hampered by the nobles. Without the support of the majority of the nobles, even Feodor could not realize his ambitions.

Lev didn't know whether the rumors were true or not, but he was certain that the people of Ursus would be better off without these nobles.Without these nobles, the new emperor would lead Ursus to a brighter future.

"Boom"

The salute began to sound, bringing Lev back from his thoughts.

The gate of the Winter Palace was opened, and a row of guards riding tall horses and majestic weapons cleared the way in front.

Immediately afterwards, the carriages of Fyodor and the nobles also began to move forward, with the emperor's carriage walking at the front.

Through the glass, Fyodor made a pilgrimage to the citizens of Schönburg.He is tall and handsome, with a friendly smile.

As his carriage approached the crowd, the citizens were thrown into a frenzy, shouting "Long live the Emperor" and waving the Ursus flag.

Everyone's face was flushed, their eyes were full of tears, and they looked at their emperor like a god.

For poor citizens, for ordinary people without power, Fyodor was their savior.

Among these people were workers, tailors, vendors, and even infected people who sneaked in. All of them supported Fyodor's rule.

Lev also cheered along with the crowd. When he saw the figure, Lev felt that his wish was fulfilled. His blood was boiling and his whole person became elated.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the lady in black next to him. He saw the lady holding up her silk scarf and waving it in the direction of Fyodor's carriage.

Lev subconsciously looked to the opposite side. In another wave of people, a dozen middle-aged men in black coats were rummaging through their pockets. Without exception, they were all nobles.

When Fyodor's carriage approached, the nobles stopped rummaging, and they raised fist-sized stones and made throwing motions.

"not good!"

Lev exclaimed, already realizing what was going to happen.

After a moment of hesitation, he raised his arm and activated the Origin Stone skill without hesitation.

Lev is an infected person and he knows the consequences of doing so, but Lev must not let these people succeed in their plan to assassinate the emperor.

What a joke, the Ursus people had a hard time waiting for a good emperor, how could they let these damn nobles succeed.

Several Originium explosives were deflected. They failed to get close to the carriage as expected and exploded far away from the carriage.

With a bang, the entire parade venue fell into chaos.

Chapter 68: This is the power of the people

After hearing the ear-piercing explosion, many citizens looked horrified. They were like panicked beasts of burden, trying to escape frantically.

Some people blocked their bodies with their bags and tried to get closer to the corner. The crowd was surging, but they couldn't get rid of it. There were faint signs of a stampede.

At the front of the queue, a cavalryman's mount was frightened. It roared and rushed forward without hesitation, knocking down several of his colleagues.

Lev recovered from the explosion. He kept coughing. When the infected person looked around, he found that the lady had disappeared. There were people everywhere, so crowded that it was almost impossible to get out.

He looked into the distance again. The assassins in black coats had already blended into the crowd. Some of them wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, while the rest were waving their hands and pointing at Fyodor's carriage, as if to signal to another group of people. Signal.

Lev felt that his blood had almost solidified. He could not believe the result of the assassination of His Majesty the Emperor.

These nobles, these assassins are doing evil, they want to undermine the emperor's reforms, and they don't want to see the infected given a future.

If they were allowed to succeed, Fyodor's decree would become a pile of waste paper, and the situation of the infected would take a turn for the worse.

No, no, we absolutely cannot let them succeed!

Lev has escaped from fear, and his will is filled with something greater. In order to protect this holy king, and for the future of the infected, he must do something.

So, he struggled to stand on the fence, then raised his hands, using Originium skills to expand his volume.

"My brothers, some people want to assassinate His Majesty the Emperor, and some people want to make the entire Ursus an enemy."

"He wants to deny His Majesty's reforms!"

His voice was sharp and powerful, grabbing the crowd's attention at once.

Many people raised their heads in unison. After a brief period of astonishment, the fear and confusion on the faces of the citizens disappeared, replaced by heartfelt anger.

They knew Fyodor. This new king was an excellent emperor. He was the little father of all the Ursus people. He promised the Ursus people a new future.

On that road, infected people no longer need to be killed, and ordinary people will not be deprived of their lives by the cold. His Majesty the Emperor truly cares about the Ursus people.

Such an emperor cannot be killed under any circumstances.

"Protect the Emperor..."

Lev made an impassioned speech, and he wanted to say something more. A crossbow arrow shot out and pierced his body. He fell off the fence with a "bang" and was no longer alive.

These words ignited the fearful crowd, and the citizens who witnessed Lev's tragic situation became even more angry.

"Protect His Majesty the Emperor!"

Some infected people hiding in the crowd no longer cared about their identity. They used Originium skills to find ways to get close to Fyodor's carriage.

Whenever a crossbow arrow comes, there will be several Source Stone skills to intercept it.

These infected people are people affected by Fyodor's reforms. They have got rid of their status as gray animals. In order to cherish this hard-won achievement, they are willing to protect Fyodor, even if they fall to pieces.

"My life is given by His Majesty the Emperor, for His Majesty the Emperor!"

Many citizens recalled Fyodor's efforts to provide them with fuel in the winter. They raised their bags and signs and surrounded Fyodor's carriage like a guard, leaving no chance for the crossbowmen.

Crossbow arrows kept coming, but they could not climb over the human wall, a human wall composed of countless Ursus citizens.

What kind of wall is that?There were blacksmiths, traders, and women standing in front of Fyodor. Their bodies were not strong, and any Ursus soldier could easily kill them.

However, when they gather under one banner for the same goal, this force becomes unprecedentedly powerful.

In the carriage, the emperor of Ursus lowered his head. He looked at his people and the figures who fell due to explosions and crossbow arrows, and his mood became extremely complicated.

That god once said that as long as the people are given the slightest benefit, they will stand firmly on his side.

Now it seems that what the god said was true.

These Ussans are more pure than nobles and officers. They support Fyodor because Fyodor regards them as human beings and they are willing to sacrifice their lives for Fyodor.

Fyodor put his hand on the car door handle. He wanted to open the door and join his people in fighting the riot.

A black shadow emerged from hiding. It was an internal guard, an internal guard responsible for Fyodor's safety.

He stopped Fyodor

"Your Majesty, it is too dangerous for you to be alone."

Fyodor understood what the inner guard meant, but he had his own will.

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind. If I die, this will be my fate."

Beside Fyodor, the inner guard shook his head.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, you are the hope of Ursus. In you, I see some elements that are brighter than those of the late Emperor."

"So, you can't die."

"The blade of Ursus is your blade. I will cut off any darkness, any corruption, and any threat for you."

He opened the car door for Fyodor and then bowed respectfully.

Fyodor looked at the inner guard. This was the first time since he became emperor that he felt the element of loyalty in the inner guard.

"Then, please join me in fighting chaos."

With the help of the inner guard, Fyodor came to the top of the carriage. He stood with the inner guard and became the focus of the audience for an instant.

Countless citizens screamed in surprise, and even the turbulent crowd was almost still. Several crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, and they were able to break through the defense line and fly towards Feodor.
