The Free King stared at Mr. Jiu opposite him and said word by word: "Mr. Jiu, I don't think you know what the four words "Freedom Alliance" mean."
"We don't want to be coerced by others, and we don't want to do anything we don't want to do."
"What resources we want, we can collect them through our own efforts. If we can't collect them, we can exchange them with the China-Earth Secret Bureau."
"We don't care whether the alliance is legitimate or not, and we don't care whether we get the entire underground world. We only do things based on our heart!"
"Do you know what I mean?"
Mr. Jiu nodded slightly and said: "I understand, I will convey your intention to Mr. Da, that's it."
After finishing speaking, the canoe at Mr. Jiu's feet quietly retreated, and the green flame was seen getting further and further away, and finally disappeared completely into the darkness.
The non-mainstream said proudly: "Do you know why we are willing to follow the King of Liberty?"
"In the Free Alliance, every soul is free, and we will not be threatened by anyone!"
Zhang Baiqiang and I breathed a sigh of relief, but we both felt a little admiration for this free king.
There are very few people in this world who can stick to their beliefs.
Although the Free King is a dead soul, his mentality has surpassed that of most living people.
The non-mainstream person said: "You guys wait here for a moment, I'll go see the king!"
After saying that, he turned into a wisp of smoke and quickly approached the front.
I stared at the Free King in the distance, but said to Zhang Baiqiang: "Brother Zhang, who is this Free King?"
Zhang Baiqiang shook his head: "It is said that it rose out of the wilderness. You also know that China and Earth are dealing with the crisis of the Age of Dharma, and Fengdu is also thinking of ways to fight against the old gods."
"It's just that their methods are much more extreme than those of Middle-earth, and most of them tend to be fatally oppressive."
I see.
Where there is oppression, there is resistance.
After several tax increases in a row, some people finally started to have a problem with Fengdu.
At the beginning, these guys who dared to resist the tax died miserably.
But then more and more people began to resist Fengdu and refused to pay taxes. In order to protect themselves, everyone had to work together.
At this time, the King of Liberty came into being.
He led the rebellious souls to defeat Fengdu's ghost soldiers several times in a row, giving everyone a way to survive.
Immediately afterwards, he found a space where he could settle down near Wucur Road and occupied it as a base.
You must know that the underground world is different from the surface. If there is no underground space where they can settle down and live, even if these rebellious souls are not destroyed by Fengdu, they will have to be assimilated by the underground magnetic field.
With this underground space, the Freedom Alliance has a foundation.
Not to mention this, after occupying this space, the Free King started a series of policies, first calling on the ghost people in Fengdu who had been oppressed for a long time to join them.
After growing in strength, they began to negotiate and trade with the demon-suppressing troops at Wucurse Road Base.
I don’t know how the Free King did it, but he actually got the support of the demon-suppressing troops in the Middle-earth.
The demon-suppressing force opened a trading bazaar at the Uncursed Road Base. Weapons, runes, and all kinds of things used by the dead souls were all transported through the Uncursed Road Base.
Of course, all this was not in vain. In addition to building a communication network and burying signal adapters for Wuju Road Base, they also obtained a large number of Fengdu's specialties.
Just for rare things like the Underworld Black Gang, the demon-suppressing troops got a lot of them.
In this situation of mutual benefit, the Ghost Kingdom Free Alliance gradually developed. Until now, about one hundred thousand dead souls have become subjects of the Free Alliance.
Of course, they call themselves freemen.
I secretly admired that in troubled times, heroes emerge. This saying holds true even in the underground world.
Just like Middle-earth, after the end of the Dharma Age, all kinds of heroic heroes will surely emerge.
While I was thinking about it, I saw a wisp of spirit floating around, and then when it came to us, it condensed into an unconventional appearance.
The non-mainstream person said with excitement: "The King of Freedom invites five heroes from Middle-earth to visit the Ghost City!"
I asked: "Captain Zhao, have you told the Free King that we are going to use the retrograde passage?"
The non-mainstream waved his hand: "I've said it! Lord Freedom King said that China and Earth are partners of the Freedom Alliance. Since our partners have requests, we will definitely do our best to do it!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Liberty King is true to his word. Now that he has said it, there will definitely be no problem!"
I felt relieved and said with a smile: "Then please ask Captain Zhao to lead the way and introduce Lord Liberty King to us."
We traveled through this section of the waterway in a simple submarine. The so-called simple submarine is actually a hollow subway tree.
This kind of tree only grows underground, and can hold as many as two people together.
After hollowing out the middle, you can follow the water flow through this section of underground waterway and enter the Ghost City.
This is also the most remote of the twelve major cities in Fengdu.
When Zhang Baiqiang and others entered Jigui City, there was a burst of cheers from the city, like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
The streets were lined with will-o'-the-wisps, and large swathes of dead souls were wandering the streets shouting crazily.
I was dumbfounded, what happened to Jigui City?
The non-mainstream chuckled and said: "Mr. He, Jigui City now belongs to the Ghost Kingdom Free Alliance. Just before Mr. Jiu arrived, the Freedom King had already captured Jigui City!"
"Let's go, I'll take you to see what a big scene is!"
At the city gate, thousands and hundreds of dead souls stood cheering hoarsely, and at the city gate, hundreds of ghost soldiers of all kinds were hung.
I only took one glance and recognized the steel cables.
These steel ropes are equipment of the Secret Bureau, also called monster binding ropes. They are engraved with evil charms and are specially used to imprison zombies, dead souls, spirits and other evil spirits.
Only this thing can tie up the souls of the dead and hang them on the top of the city.
Non-mainstream people said: "The one in the middle is the lord of Jigui City, Judge Cui who punishes evil!"
"The ones on the left and right are the two deputy city lords of Jigui City."
He pointed at the ghost soldiers on both sides: "The rest are all accomplices! They oppress the ghost people, take advantage of them, and sometimes even sell their souls to the evil ghosts in the eighteenth level of hell!"
"They do many evil things and persecute innocent souls, but no one can do anything to them!"
"It's all right now. Lord Liberty has conquered Jigui City, freeing the tens of thousands of ghost people here from the sea of misery! And these guys, under the watchful eyes of the ghost people in the city, their souls will fly away and they will never be reincarnated!"
"Everyone, you will witness a historic scene in Jigui City!"
"You will also see the rise of the Free Alliance in the underworld!"
Along with the non-mainstream voices, someone shouted loudly: "Back off! All the ghost people, back off!"
"It's time for execution!"
The ghost people cheered, but no one was willing to retreat. They all stared unblinkingly at the Fengdu ghost guards hanging on the top of the city.
They hate this group of Fengdu minions who have increased taxes and forced the ghost people to have no way out. Now they are about to be executed. How can they miss this scene?
Seeing the excitement among the ghost people in the city, the free ghost soldiers who were in charge of the execution were a little anxious.
Suddenly a gentle voice came from the top of the city: "Everyone! I am the king of the Free Alliance."
"Thanks to everyone, please call me the King of Freedom."
Hearing this voice, the ghost people cheered: "Free King! Free King! Free King!"
It was precisely because of the King of Freedom that the noble men of Jigui City were made prisoners, and that this group of desperate souls had a way to live.
The Free King wore a black cloak and stood on the top of the city like a god.
He looked around and said: "I know that everyone has a deep hatred for the city lord and minions of Jigui City, but now, Jigui City will be under the jurisdiction of the Free Alliance."
"All tax orders issued by Fengdu are abolished. There is no head tax, no city tax, no Fengdu tax and light tax!"
"From now on, all taxes in Jigui City will be abolished, and only the most basic freedom tax will be retained! And the tax rate will be one-tenth of the head tax!"
Suddenly there was a sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling coming from the city.
Some ghost people roared excitedly, while others covered their faces and cried.
Whether they are yelling or crying, the ghosts are actually venting their emotions.
They have been oppressed by Fengdu for too long, especially in the recent period, the death rate of the dead souls in Jigui City has been more than three times that of before!
If the King of Liberty hadn't led his men to capture the Jigui City, the local ghost people would have died many more.
Fengdu never cared about their life or death, but the Freedom Alliance would!
I said softly: "Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world!"
"If Fengdu doesn't care, the one who will replace Fengdu in the future will definitely be the Ghost Kingdom Free Alliance!"
Zhang Baiqiang was noncommittal: "I don't know if it can replace Fengdu, but Brother He, what if it can replace Fengdu?"
"The Age of Dharma is coming in more than two months. When the soul pollution of the old gods spreads all over the underground world, can the Free King stop it?"
"If you ask me, Emperor Fengdu ignores the Free Alliance, and I'm afraid he also wants the Free Alliance to block the Old Gods, so that they can free up time to occupy a place in Middle-earth."
This makes sense.
The current underground world is like a hot yam, and whoever becomes the leader will be unlucky.
Three thousand old gods are no joke, these are three thousand S-levels!
Not to mention soul pollution and countless believers.
I said: "China will not sit idly by. The Secret Bureau will definitely build this place into a strategic buffer zone and become the first line of defense to prevent the old gods from returning to the world."
China and Earth will definitely support the Freedom Alliance in all aspects.
But he will definitely withstand Fengdu’s counterattack.
It’s hard to say what the future will look like.
But at least now, the ghost people in Jigui City are still very excited. They can live without all kinds of exorbitant taxes.
The King of Liberty said loudly: "The Freedom Alliance will never tolerate those who help the evildoers. Therefore, we have captured one hundred and thirty dead souls who have committed heinous crimes and will be burned at the stake!"
"Soul battle! Prepare for execution!"
A wisp of green flames rose up, and the blazing heat instantly spread throughout the city gate.
The dead souls who were approaching felt the fierce flames, and they were terrified and retreated quickly.
That's the Yang Fire, the Yang Fire that specifically burns the three souls and seven souls!
With the sun and fire, the surroundings instantly became empty.
The judge who was hung at the city gate looked up with difficulty, and then said in a hoarse voice: "King of Liberty, you will regret it!"
"We have 300,000 ghost soldiers in Fengdu! And with the support of the Sutra Listening Institute, what can you do even if you occupy Jigui City? What if you burn our souls to pieces?"
"When our Ten Palace Ghost Soldiers arrive, the Freedom Alliance will be a joke!"
