Chapter 52

What exactly happened in it is truly incredibly curious.

【At the beginning, those who wanted to resist were scattered among the crowd. They hid their thoughts very well, not letting themselves be exposed.】

【Because the tyrant's power was not just his own.】

【There were also some fanatics who worshipped the tyrant's power and voluntarily became the lackeys of the King of Storms. Such people were not in the minority; human nature has always been like this.】

【Even if the King of Storms didn't care about them in his eyes.】

【However, these lackeys of the tyrant did indeed control the management structure and weapons, being able to oppress the people below and exacerbating the harsh living environment of Mondstadt at that time.】

【So those with a heart for resistance dared not show their heads. If they were caught, the king who stayed in the lonely tower and was obsessed with his own world wouldn't care, but these lackeys would inevitably execute them.】

【The tyrant's lackeys, who possessed weapons like swords and bows, were not something ordinary people could fight against.】

【They were brutal executioners; they were greedy hyenas!】

【Constantly squeezing the bottom-level residents, extracting oil to make themselves live better. This is the essence and root of human nature; some people rely on stepping on others to live better days.】

【Unless a new god who truly cares for the people appears, such a situation will continue.】

【So the resistors at that time were contacting in secret, and they even built their base in a very hidden place, constantly accumulating strength and collecting their own weapons and shields.】

【To fight against the tyrant and his lackeys, one must be armed!】

【To facilitate contact and not be discovered by the enemy, those people used "Windwheel Aster" as a code word, constantly expanding their own numbers.】

【The force longing for freedom began to take initial shape.】

【To better deal with the lackeys, they even formed a mysterious assassination squad at that time, named—Night Raid, to try every possible way to make the high-level personnel among the lackeys die unexpectedly.】

【Whether it was a coincidence, a crime of passion, or an accident, they forged various death situations.】

【Even if such methods would eventually be discovered, as long as they dragged the lackeys' attention and gave the resistance forces enough time to develop, that would be enough.】

【What they lacked was time.】

Does it look like the sense of déjà vu is very heavy, especially the name Night Raid?

That was exactly what Ye Ruo deliberately added. The story about this place was actually skipped over.

However, Ye Ruo deliberately lengthened it in this novel and added and expanded upon this blank background.

Isn't that what a novel is?

What everyone wants to see must definitely include this part of the content, and writing it longer is also good.

What's more, the name Ye Ruo gave this novel at the beginning was "Old Mondstadt: Eye of the Lonely King Slayer."

Finally, a shadow of it appeared.

Anyway, no one would come over to scold him that adaptation is not random editing.

If it's not free, what's the point of calling it a novel?

Ye Ruo has always been a very free person, doing as he pleases.

【And among the series of leaders who gradually became the resistance forces, the boy who knew the wind spirit was among them.】

【As someone who bravely pursued freedom, he also threw himself into such a battle. The boy was by no means a weak and timid person; on the contrary, he was a young man full of confidence and sunshine!】

【Gradually, many reliable companions gathered around the boy.】

【There was the red-haired youth Ragnvindr, who had a firm will and held a greatsword. There was also the experienced hunter girl Amos, who held a longbow.】

【As well as the tribal female leader Gunnhildr, who was originally in the snow outside, and the wind spirit, along with many people from other tribes.】

【Just before, when the wind spirit returned with the feather, it was shocked to discover the changes in the city and the boy's actions, and furthermore, the boy had issued a sincere invitation to it.】

【The true sky, the poetry and songs outside the cage—aren't these wishes worth fighting for?】

【Be with me, crush the tyrant!】

【At that time, there was light in the boy's eyes, and his words reflected astonishing determination, which made the wind spirit choose to help him.】

【Gradually understanding the emotions of these people, the wind spirit also possessed a human side, and it insisted on using its own power to fulfill the wishes of the boy and countless people of Old Mondstadt!】 ===== CHAPTER 54 =====
