This year's border town is particularly different from previous years.
After the end of the Demon Month in previous years, I had to wait for another month in the slums of Changge Fortress, and only after the snow was completely purified before I could embark on my way home.
When I returned to the town, most of the things I saw were in a mess.
The houses that were unattended for several months were dilapidated, and some unsolid wooden houses had long been crushed by heavy snow. Some townsmen even hid evil beasts at home. Not only did they bite the cabinets and tables, but they also dragged hay and rags to fill the corners. It was obvious that they regarded this place that could shelter from the wind and snow as their nest.
They often have to spend a week repairing their houses and replacing moldy furniture that is soaked in water. As for the rotten smell that lasts for a long time, residents here are used to it.
However, this year, the Bianfeng Town was completely renewed, and the snow was quickly swept away, and a colorful paper flag issued by His Highness the Prince was hung at the doorstep.
From a distance, the monotonous and dilapidated town became colorful, and various flags mixed together, like a sea of flowers.
Everyone ran around and told me that on the first day after the end of the Demon Moon, His Highness will hold a grand celebration dance in the square!
Anyone can go there, not only does not need to pay coins, but I heard that there is also free food distribution!
What is a dance party? It is a social occasion that can only be attended by the upper class aristocrats. Everyone has never heard of it in the knowledgeable big city businessmen, but even they cannot participate.
I heard from the business people that it is not an event where you can get invitations with just money.
His Highness the Prince actually let everyone participate?
Your Highness, it’s not good for you to do this?The chief knight dissuaded, there was neither a band nor a leader, so who would control the rhythm of the dance?Besides, even the nobles may not be able to dance in such remote places, and your subordinates will only mess up everything.
Carter only went to the dance once when he was in the capital, which was held by a marquis to celebrate his daughter's birthday.
Elegant strings and passionate drum beats sounded intertwined, ladies danced gracefully under melodious music, while men showed their fast and powerful dance steps, either spinning or tapping, connecting the movement with the drum beats.
During the break, the servants were carrying drinks and snacks and shuttled through the crowd. The men looked for the women they liked. When the last piece of music was played, they mustered up the courage to come forward and invite them. After the successful party dispersed, there was still a romance.
Carter sighed. Although he was young at that time, he could not meet with the girl he liked, the elegant and romantic atmosphere still made him recall it.
Replace the nobles with outstanding demeanor with these village men who deal with stones and beasts every day?
Oh my God, he couldn't imagine such a scene.
Lead the dancer?There was Ah, and Roland ordered the militia to remove all the stone sculptures and gallows in the square, and the iron axe and the militia were.
That sandy man?Carter was stunned.
As the captain of the Musket Team, the performance of the Iron Axe in the Demon Moon finally won the recognition of the Chief Knight, and the title of aliens is no longer mentioned. However, the other party is Ah from the Mojin clan after all, how could he know the etiquette of the mainland kingdom!
Roland smiled mysteriously: Because what I am going to hold is not the usual dance party, you will know then.
There is not much preparation work to be done, mainly to remove obstacles in the square and then build a pile of firewood in the center.
The table was built with bricks on the edge of the firewood pile to be used to grill food.
That's right, this is the mix of celebrating dance bonfire party and outdoor barbecue that Roland slapped his head.
What to use to increase people's sense of identity with the place of residence has always been a matter of serious consideration for the prince.
Nationalism and nationalism are too profound for these rural villagers who have worked for the lord all their lives and cannot read a single word. Only their wealth and relatives are worthy of care.
The more backward you are, the more short-sighted you are. This is the law of the development of civilization. Civilization will eventually become as big as its thoughts, and Roland agrees deeply about this.
However, this does not mean that spiritual construction can be ignored. The victory celebration is one of the transformation methods he has figured out.
In fact, he felt it was hard to understand that the world had no celebration after spending the Demon Moon.
The annual invasion of evil beasts is like a natural disaster. It is naturally worthy of a big book to overcome such evil spirits.
So he decided to name the first day after the end of the evil month every year as Victory Day.
All the territory belonging to him will not only be closed on this day, but also hold various celebrations.
It will last for three or four years, and it will become a tradition that will be passed down on the territory.
The leaders of the leaders will gradually feel that they are indeed different from the people under the rule of other lords.
Before noon, the square was crowded with people, and militia members lined up to keep everyone out of the firewood pile.
It seems that free food is still quite attractive, and at least half of the people came to the whole town, Roland thought.
The only drawback is that the square is a little smaller after all. Apart from the open space outside the firewood pile, more than a thousand people are almost against their shoulders, making it difficult to have room for movement.
He also saw some children who had climbed up the nearest roof and visited the middle of the square.
As for the first celebration, there are inevitably shortcomings.Roland thought that the time was almost over and took the stage to deliver a speech.
This was his second public speech in the square, and his mentality was much calmer than last time.
Good afternoon, my leaders.I am the fourth prince of the Greyburg Kingdom, Roland Wimbledon.He still chose the same beginning as last time, but this time the effect was completely different. Before he could finish his words, there were already a warm cry in the crowd. Long live the prince!Long live your highness!
Roland suddenly felt a heat in his chest. This time he didn't arrange anything to ask for help. Seeing the spontaneous cheers of the militia and the masses, a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction filled his heart.
When the crying slightly retreated, he pressed his hands down, and the Demon Moon was over. Under the heroic battle of the militia, the evil beast never failed to cross the city wall.The Border Town defeated the terrible enemy at a very small price, which proves that as long as everyone unites, we can gain a foothold here even without relying on the alms of the Changge Fortress!They wanted to threaten the town with food, and to force us to surrender with hunger and cold, and today's victory told them that it was all in vain!
That's right, I never want to go back to that place again!
Following His Highness the Prince, there is not a day when you are hungry in winter!
Finally, you don’t have to be blackmailed by them. Your Highness is kind!
Taking advantage of the rising emotions of the crowd, Roland continued to say loudly: Let us celebrate this glorious victory, this is a day worth remembering!I announce that from now on, the first day after the end of the Demon Moon will be called Victory Day!The celebration party is for this!My leaders, enjoy this day!Now, the dance party begins!
The torch was thrown into the pile of firewood covered with grease, and the flames rose up, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire square.
