Chapter 854 - The Sound of Tides
“Dear parliament members and everyone who supports me, I humbly accept your nomination for president in the election campaign. The reason why I’m standing here is all thanks to your support. I understand your troubles and clearly know what kind of predicament we are facing now!”
Parliament member Nakvard stood on the podium in the middle of the plaza. He wore a formal black suit, spread his hands apart, and gazed at the dense sea of people below him. The incredible sense of accomplishment satisfied him greatly.
“It has been a dark year for the Country of Light. Not only did we face the invasion of the Undead Creatures, but we also suffered the betrayal of our allies. Our soil has been stained by the undead and the bones of our dearest were forced to be awakened from their eternal rest and against their will, wreaking havoc on this continent! Are we going to let this matter off just like this?”
Parliament member Nakvard raised his right hand and clenched it into a fist.
“Angels and Elves can’t be trusted. Their first reaction wasn’t to help us when we faced threats from the Undead Creatures. Instead, they seized the chance to gain benefits and rise above us to make us their slaves forever! Same goes for the lackeys who sold their dignity! People of the Country of Light! Our failures in the past shouldn’t be used as an excuse for us to back down now. The former Light Parliament failed to fulfill its rule due to incompetent leadership and even abandoned its dignity before the other races. Back then, when our ancestors established the Light Parliament and raised the torches of freedom and liberty, they hoped that humans could stand alone on this continent. We’re not affiliated with the other races and not their slaves at all! We have to use our hands and language to tell them that we have the right to stand on the same heights as them!”
“Oooooh!”
The people instantly burst into cheers. They raised their arms frantically and waved to the man before them.
“I guarantee that I, Nakvard, will rebuild the flags that our ancestors worked so hard to establish and find the glory and pride of our Country of Light. I will use our strength to tell everyone that the Country of Light will forever be the lighthouse of freedom for us humans! My father was born in Sauron while my mother came from the distant Kanali. They arrived in this great country for the sake of glorious freedom. This miracle can only happen here! During this difficult period, we must unite as one. Right now, regardless of gender, identity, and as long as you are human, we should stand in unison! We will always be the strongest race on this continent! We should not listen to words that attempt to split us, let alone shake our own beliefs, and make wrong choices that the non-humans have made. Humans are a race with infinite possibilities! And only we can control our destiny!”
1“… Noble people of the Country of Light. Listen to me!”
Sonia revealed a smile at this thought. Then, she turned around and walked down the spotlessly white corridor.
