"Everyone! These people beside me are noble lords from various regions.
They came to our territory and insulted our lord, who works tirelessly and wholeheartedly for her people!
They even slandered her, claiming she tricked you into coming to Niro City!
I, Xiluo Utrasis, cannot believe such nonsense!
Now tell the noble lords here yourselves! Were you tricked into coming here, or did you join us willingly?
Speak freely and boldly! With me here, you need fear no one!"
Xiluo then roared at the subjects.
His booming voice rang out across the gathering.
The newcomers stirred, but immediately shouted in response:
"No! We weren't tricked! We came willingly! Niro City is our future! Our home!
We swear to build a better Niro City together!
In the future, bread will grow on Niro City's trees!
Milk and honey will flow through its ditches!
Copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins will cover the ground!
This future belongs to us, and to our children and grandchildren!"
After the newcomers finished shouting,
their faces were filled with fervor and anticipation.
Seeing this, the smile on Xiluo's draconic face deepened, and he did not forget to look over the public-speaking teacher beside him.
This fellow really did a fine job! He's talented! I'll reward him with a gold coin later!
While Xiluo was delighted,
the noble lords beside him erupted in uproar.
Their expressions changed drastically as they shouted in fury:
"Damn it! You're lying! You were clearly tricked into coming here! Why are you lying?"
"You lowborn rabble! Are you trying to rebel?"
"Damn it! Your lives! Your gold coins all belong to me!"
"Who gave you permission to leave without my approval?"
The noble lords roared furiously, making the subjects tremble all over.
"Shut up!"
Only when that explosive roar rang out
