Cosma Empire

The Guarts were not originally an inherent ethnic group of the Yaoxing Empire. A war broke out about 60 years ago. The country of the Guarts was wiped out by the Yaoxing Empire. The Guarts and the place where they lived, All of them were incorporated into the territory of the Yaoxing Empire and became a part of the Yaoxing Empire. It is undeniable that the Guarts showed the quality of being willing to die on the battlefield rather than take a step back in the Great Patriotic War, which caused huge troubles for the Yaoxing Empire at that time. Later, in order to prevent the group of defeated Guarts from gathering together and causing troubles, a certain big shot at the time thought of a trick, which was to disperse the Guarts and send them to various regions of the country.

Even if the guarts who were scattered all at once wanted to form a group, it would be difficult for them to succeed. In addition, the Shining Star Empire had frequent frictions with neighboring countries on the border, and the Third World War, known as the Battle of the Gold Cup, broke out. A large number of young Guarts were forced to enlist in the army and died on the battlefield. , so that the Guarts are faced with an extremely harsh living environment. Coupled with the fact that a large number of young and strong Guarts were recruited again in the war that ended not long ago, the vitality of the Guarts group has been severely damaged.

Now that the Guarts have lost their family labor force and pillars, everyone thinks that one more thing is worse than one less thing, and gradually the Guarts become no different from ordinary people, and even more afraid of causing trouble. In this rapidly changing society, the guarts have become synonymous with "honest people" and "counselors".

There are more than 2,000 Guart families in Tenel City. There are less than 300 males under the age of forty and over the age of sixteen. The rest have become cannon fodder for the empire in the war that ended not long ago. , added a lot of bargaining chips for the empire on the balance of war, and won a tragic victory. It is said to be a tragic victory, but for the Aldin people, the main race of the empire, they are not a tragic victory at all, but a big victory.

They used minority populations to replace the Ordins to start the war, and successfully consumed the development potential and future of these more and more minority groups within the empire, not only winning the war, but also purifying the population-racial ratio , It kills two birds with one stone!

Under such circumstances, Du Lin proposed the concept of "citizen association". After Graf's publicity, it immediately received a response from many people, especially those who had just reached the age of sixteen and a little younger. It is precisely because they feel the malice from the empire and the society that these children are more eager to improve the Gualt people and their own living environment through their own hands and efforts.

Not to mention that Du Lin is willing to provide these children who do not have the upper class status in society with a decent salary so that they can support themselves and their families.

Looking at a group of half-grown teenagers aged fourteen, five or sixteen, Du Lin's eyes were full of inexplicable expressions when he looked at Graf. There were three girls in this group of children. If it weren't for the hope and vigor for the future hidden in the eyes of these children, Du Lin might have denied these teenagers outright. At this time, he himself forgot that he himself was a person of this age, not much older than the others.

Du Lin pulled Graf to a corner, looked back at the twenty or thirty boys and three little girls, and asked in a low voice, "Aren't there any adults? Those in their twenties?"

Graf smiled awkwardly. The Imperial Military Department forcibly conscripted all Tener males over the age of sixteen and under the age of forty into the army during Tenel's conscription. Except for those who Miao Zao had hid in the wild, there were no young and vigorous men anymore. As for those who ran away, they were even more reluctant to join fellow countrymen's associations with obvious gang intentions.

These timid people and those who only wanted to live in peace and stability, rejected Graf's invitation straightforwardly. This made Graf feel very ashamed, and at the same time secretly hated him. Usually when those people asked him for help, he never said no,

Now when he fights for his own rights for the Guarts, he backs down. He doesn't look like a Guart at all, without even the slightest bit of courage and courage.

So he can only recruit these children who are dissatisfied with reality and aggressive at the same time.

Faced with Graff's detailed explanations, Du Lin also felt speechless for a while. It's just that the situation is imminent, and Du Lin also needs manpower, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it. Although it is said that minors lack some experience and lessons than adults, then he can only spend more time educating these guys.

When the two returned to the crowd, many people obviously showed nervous expressions. Their eyes stayed on Du Lin, eager to get an affirmative answer.

After a while, when some people showed disappointment in their eyes, Du Lin nodded, "You guys will welcome you!"

At this time, Graf directly grabbed Du Lin's hand, and in Du Lin's shock, he cut open the knife mark on his palm that had grown only two days ago. Blood gushed out immediately, but in the face of the blood, those boys, including the girls, did not show any signs of fear, but were extremely excited.

Without Graff's operation, the boys and girls lined up, took the dagger from Graff, cut their palms, and held them tightly with Du Lin's. The difference from last time was that these boys and girls even kissed the back of his hand.

The etiquette last time was a ceremony of cooperation, a ceremony of never betraying friends, but this time, it is a ceremony of allegiance.

In the unique religious culture of the Guart people, kissing the back of the hand is a very important etiquette and ceremony performed by family members to their parents. It first came from the Guart noble family. During festivals, nobles line up to kiss the back of the king's hand to show respect and obedience to the king. This kind of ritual has long been a ritual in daily life, and basically every Gualt knows something about it.

Especially the teenagers living in the city, because of the social environment, they worship and yearn for everything in the Guart Kingdom period, remembering the past while also motivating themselves.

After the last of the three girls kissed the back of Du Lin's numb hand, Du Lin glanced at the bloody floor under his feet, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

This time, I don't feel the palm, and the arm is a little numb. Will I amputate it?

Of course, even if you cry at this time, you have to cry with a smile.

He nodded vigorously with a straight face, "From today onwards, we are all one family, we will share the glory regardless of each other!"

Graff's face was a little red, and he slapped his chest and roared, "We will share the glory regardless of each other!"

Looking at the hysterical yelling teenagers, Du Lin was surprised at the consequences of a ceremony and a sentence, and his heart beat a little faster. He squinted his eyes slightly, feeling as if he was in a trance!

The establishment of the Hometown Association was nothing more than an inconspicuous drop of water falling into the lake in Tenel City, and it couldn't even make ripples. Even if some people learned about it through certain channels, they didn't care too much.

What kind of hometown association established by a group of half-grown children, like playing games, can have an impact on the underground world pattern that has not changed in Tenell City for several years? Don't be kidding, let alone those small gangs that can only occupy one or two streets that are not even considered gangs, how many real big gangs are easy to mess with? Not only is there a more professional team of thugs, but there are also powerful hand crossbows and thermal energy crossbows that are prohibited from being owned by civilians!

This is a big killer, a thermal crossbow is enough to wipe out the 20th and 30th people in one go, so everyone regards the hometown meeting as a children's play.

Some people don't care about the establishment of the association, but some people care about the establishment of the association. In Tener City, there is a high-society figure, the vice-chairman of the Tener Branch of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and also a Guarter-Heidler, who is very concerned about the initiation and establishment of the fellowship association.

This is a legendary Guart, but also a Guart discriminated against by the Guart.

It may be a bit convoluted to say this, but in fact, before the Kingdom of Gualt fell, some Gualts had already surrendered earlier and became "good people on the side of justice", and one of them was Heidler's Father. At that time, in order to shorten the war as soon as possible and reduce the number of Ogdins who died in the war, the Yaoxing Empire gave these Gualts who surrendered great benefits and high treatment, hoping to "influence" Gual in this way The kingdom's resistance.

Indeed, these people played a great role, but after the Kingdom of Guart was destroyed, their situation was very embarrassing. The Ogdins were unwilling to give these good people more benefits, and used various excuses to take back some of their privileges. Heidler's father was also greatly affected by this, and the family was even on the verge of bankruptcy. Heidler's father died suddenly of cerebral infarction, and handed over the precarious family business to Heidler, who was only less than twenty years old at the time.

Relying on his superb methods and personal abilities, Heidler went through ups and downs several times, and finally established his position in the Chamber of Commerce of the Yaoxing Empire and became a master.

It is precisely because of the ups and downs that Heidler hopes that the scattered Guarts can unite. But he can't do this, his status is high enough, and some people are already wary of Heidler, who is one of the thirty-six members of the chamber of commerce, so he can't do it. If he did, those wolves and tigers would have excuses and reasons to kick him out.

When he knew that a guy named Dulin Kesma had established the fellowship association, he immediately began to investigate all social information about Dulin, and he wanted to meet this person.
