The Release That Witch
Chapters 89's

This year's winter is very different from the previous year. In the previous years when the Demon Moon ended, the residents of Border Town had to stay for another month in the slums of Longsong Fortress. They waited until the snow completely melted, only to return home.

Back in the city, they always saw total chaos. After a few months no one took care of the house, some of which were already dilapidated. Some of the less sturdy huts had been covered by heavy snow and some of the houses of the townspeople had been used by the demon beasts as hiding places.

Everything is broken and fucked. For example, his closet and desk were full of bite marks and food scraps were still lying in the corners. Obviously these houses have been used as shelter from the snow and their nests.

They often spend a week repairing their homes. Replacing all moldy furniture, cleaning up the bad smell left behind and so on. This was the usual procedure done by the residents, but this year, it could even be said that Border Town looked completely new, snow was quickly swept away, and the city was completely completely covered, and the prince gave a multi-colored banner to the door of the house of each family. . From afar, the once monotonous and dilapidated city changed color. When those colors mixed together, it looked like a sea of flowers.

The fortress also spread the news, that on the first day after the Demon Moon, His Majesty will hold a big party party in the town square! Everyone is invited, and if that is not enough, no one will have to pay for the coins and will also be given free food!

Is that a ball? This was a social event that only upper nobles were allowed to attend. The townspeople only knew them from the stories of influential, experienced and knowledgeable traders. However, they were never allowed to attend. If what the traders said was true, even with all their money it would still not be enough to accept the invitation. But now His Majesty will allow anyone to attend?

"Your Majesty. You wouldn't do that, would you?" Carter asked disapprovingly, "There will be no band and there will be no main dancer! Who controls the rhythm of the ball? Moreover, in a secluded place like this, even nobles would not necessarily be able to dance, so the citizens would just mess things up. "

During Carter's time in Graycastle, he only attended one party. It had been organized by a marquis to celebrate his daughter's birthday. The music played is graceful string music mixed with passionate drum beats, while the dance contains a lot of rotation and recording. But if the instruments were played individually, the women would dance to melodious string music, while the men then performed a fast and powerful dance in tune with the sound of the drums. During the break, officers would pass through the crowd and hand out drinks and snacks. Until the last song, men still have time to find and invite their favorite woman to dance, and if lucky they are not only rewarded with a dance, but also with a kind of romantic interaction.

Carter sighed, although he was too young to invite his beloved girl, he could still remember the aftertaste of that elegant and romantic atmosphere. The nobles trained daily in maintaining their elegant demeanor, could the villagers who had to fight with demonic beasts every day be compared to them? My God, he couldn't imagine such a scene in Border Town.

"Main dancer? Yes, well," Roland had ordered the militia to remove the stone statues and gallows from the town square, "Iron Fathers and militia members will take over that part."

"That sand man?" Carter stunned. As the captain of the Hunter Team, and with his appearance during the Demon Moon, Iron Axe finally gained the recognition of the Chief Knight. Even his alien appearance was not mentioned anymore, yet, the other one was still from the Moji Tribe, how could he know the etiquette of the Kingdom of Graycastle ?!

However Roland only smiled mysteriously and said: "Since I'm the one who set the ball, it won't be the usual kind, you'll understand it when you see it.

He did not have much preparatory work to do, his biggest job was to get rid of the barrier placed in the town square, and instead put a pile of wood in the middle of it. In addition, they had built a table out of the stone used to carry baked goods. Yes, this was the plan Roland had made - a combination of a campfire with a wild barbecue.

Roland had long thought about the problem, how to increase the sense of community's belonging towards Border Town. After a long life of working under their previous masters, the concept of status and nationality was set too deep within these rural and illiterate inhabitants. Only their family's property and lives came to their attention. The more backward the people, the more petty they will become, this is the law for the development of civilization, "Civilization can only be as big as the greatest ideas of its people," Roland thought deeply.

But this does not mean that lifting their spirits is negligible, and this celebration of victory is one of the methods he has found to change their thinking.

So he decided to name the first day after the end of the Demon Moon as "Victory Day". So that in all his territory, this day has become a public holiday, where various kinds of celebrations are held. As long as he could do it for three to four years, this kind of celebration would become a tradition and even then continue without Roland. And as time goes on, people will gradually feel that they themselves and others under God's rule are indeed different.

Even so, at this time it was not yet noon, the square was still crowded with people. The militia members lined up around the pile of wood so that no one else could get close to him.

It seems that the free food division is quite interesting, I think at least half of the townspeople have come, Roland thought. In the end, over a thousand people stood side by side, filling the entire field beside the pile of wood, there was no place for any other activities. He even found that some children had climbed the roof of surrounding buildings so they could see everything freely.

Since it was only the first time to hold this celebration, there were still some flaws. Roland felt it was the right time to step onto the stage and stage his speech.

Now this was his second public speech that he held in this square, thanks to this his attitude was much calmer than the last time.

"My people, good afternoon. I'm the fourth Prince of Graycastle, Roland Wimbledon." He was still using the same introduction as last time, but today the effect was completely different from before. His voice had not yet descended, but the crowd was already cheering, "Live Prince, Your Majesty!" "Life Your Majesty!"

Roland suddenly felt a kind of warmth spreading in his chest, this time, he did not organize the propaganda from his own people. So when he heard the spontaneous cheers of his own militia and the townspeople, he felt an accomplishment and satisfaction in his heart.

When their voices finally calmed down a little, he continued, "The Moon of Demons is finally over! Thanks to the militia's heroic struggle, the demonic beasts were unable to pass through the wall a single step. This year the Border Town only needed to pay a very small price to fight against the demonic monsters. This proves that, as long as we are united, even if we do not rely on the strength of Longsong Fortress, we can still gain a foothold here! They want to threaten our city with food, fear of hunger and cold, try to force us to surrender. But today's victory tells them that all this is in vain! "

"Right, I don't want to go back to that place anymore!"

"With Your Majesty, we need not fear hunger during the winter!"

"Finally they can't blackmail us anymore, Your Majesty is too kind!"

"Let's celebrate this beautiful and resplendent victory together," Roland shouted, taking advantage of the heightened emotions among the crowd.

"This is a day to remember, and I declare that from now on the first day after the end of the Month Satan will be known as the 'Victory Day'! Today's celebration is right for this purpose! My people, enjoy this day to the fullest! Now, let's start dancing! ”

With this torch thrown into the pile of firewood, flames surged, instantly burning the entire atmosphere.
