Seeing how vicious and unfeeling these wolf-like government constables were, a few shouts suddenly rang out from the crowd.
"With taxes this high, we'll starve if we pay up this year! We die if we pay, and we die if we don't. To hell with 'em, let's rebel!"
"That's right! Everyone, let's get 'em! Kill these bastards!"
"..."
A chorus of shouts erupted from the crowd. Instantly, their eyes wide with fury, they charged the government constables.
The government constables sneered. They had some martial training, after all, and were much stronger than these farmers. This sort of thing had happened before.
All they had to do was make a move and kill a few of the ringleaders, and the rest of the crowd would lose their nerve.
But this time was different.
Just as the constables were preparing to suppress the uprising, arrows shot from an unknown location, instantly felling the most martially skilled among them.
