The era of "heroes" and the extraordinary era have long ended!
Yes, before that, those who stood in the middle of the stage of history and enjoyed all the lights and applause were always the nobles or extraordinary people with extraordinary talents. At least, before the advent of the new era, historians were like the most vulgar spectators, focusing their barren eyes on the center of the stage. And in the place they abandoned and ignored, the vast number of mortals are arising and dying here, and they are endlessly born. They are the cornerstone of the world, yet they are always ignored by the world.
If there were no story on the "July Grass", such foolish behavior would continue, right?
In the last years of the Glory Era, the civil war in the Nadia Sky Federation has entered its most intense moment. The war between the old arcane wealthy families and the new military and industrial aristocrats has torn the country in half. A group of displaced people and ordinary soldiers finally gathered together, just to fight for a little way to survive in the cruel war. They had a premonition that there was no hope of continuing to live in the Sky Federation, so fleeing to a foreign land and never returning home became their last choice.
They firmly believe that the goddess Nadia will not give up on them, and they also firmly believe that they will eventually find their home.
Among this group of people, there were General Rudolf Gazet, Captain Sanz Planck, and Madame Marie Fandine, who were later revered as great men. Without them, the story of the "July Grass" would have been lost in the shadow of history.
After leaving the Federation in the midst of the civil war, General Rudolf Geizet, who led all the refugees, chose the New World as the place of escape for everyone. Because only here is it possible to escape all the disputes and wars in the old continent. He encouraged everyone, "We are not running away, but fighting for freedom. We must seek freedom of the body as well as freedom of the soul!"
When someone cried that he could no longer return to his hometown in the old world, he said: "As long as there is freedom, there is hometown everywhere."
However, the process of the expedition was so thrilling.
Just before leaving, the fleet encountered a storm. General Gezette's adjutant Dumbledore Dandelion died and the flagship was almost destroyed. He could only take the crew and move to the July Grass, which is our later protagonist.
However, when the fleet landed near the Falling Star Sea for supplies, it was still discovered by Braden's navy.
"The poor men on the ship were extremely worried that their wives and children would be kidnapped by the generals, but there was nothing they could do. They had nothing to change except the clothes they were wearing. All their belongings were left in the country, and they had almost no money. . The men begged Braden's soldiers to let them go and were willing to pay all the costs. The poor women and children huddled in the corner of the ship in horror, shivering. They didn't know what fate they would endure, and burst into tears. Yelling and yelling.¡±
This is a true story recorded in the diary of a crew member later. However, Braden's navy was not prepared to let them go. In those barbaric times, the navy of the Old World was a pirate, and it had always been that way.
Fortunately, when we are in despair, there are always people carrying the burden forward and bringing hope!
"Fight for freedom until death!" The old General Geizet straightened his frail body and raised the sword that he could no longer lift.
He turned refugees into a war effort.
This is a true story of the Great Expedition to the Sea.
Fortunately, they won.
Sadly, their leader, General Rudolf Geizet, was seriously wounded and became ill.
However, Mr. Sanz Planck, the captain of the "July Grass", took over the command and led everyone to move forward. On January 11 of the Guiding Era, they crossed the sea of ??clouds and finally found a temporary anchorage in a warm archipelago, which is now Xindaroshur Island.
After more than a month of arduous journey, they lost nearly half of the crew and ship, but in any case, the New World is just around the corner. They are about to land.
But at this time, the life of their leader, General Rudolf Geizet, was about to come to an end.
The place the crew arrived was not the Platinum Bay area that was already controlled by the Auckland Empire at that time, but the Manners State area now known as the Wairu Coast. This is a vast, rich but unclaimed land, thousands of kilometers away from the northernmost stronghold of Platinum Bay. This means that there is no legal binding here. This means that once they land, they can do whatever they want.
More importantly, their leader is about to pass away. Doesn¡¯t this mean that true freedom is just around the corner?
"No, this is not freedom! Freedom without restraints"?Lost freedom of soul and heart! "Miss Maria Fontaine, the first mate of the July Flower, said to everyone.
She is the most prestigious woman in the fleet and represents the voice of all women.
This smart and approachable woman, like the reincarnation of the goddess Mara, earnestly convinces every tortured crew member that the anarchy of the following forces is fatal to everyone. Refugees must make decisions and take responsibility, otherwise they will live in a lawless world for the rest of their lives. The food they harvest today will be plundered by others tomorrow, and their wives and children will be arbitrarily oppressed.
"Let's sign a convention. This is our most basic law." Captain Plank said to everyone.
"Let me be the first to sign. This is the last thing I do for everyone."
The result was unusually ideal. Everyone signed the "July Grass Convention" and signed it voluntarily! Sign in person!
"With the witness of the Holy Spirit of the Sky Palace, we, the undersigned, as loyal subjects of the goddesses, in order to open up the frontier of civilization, specially set out to establish the first colony on this newly developed coast. We swear in front of the goddesses , appearing to one another in solemn appearance, do hereby agree to organize us all into a political society, in order that we may the better survive and create good order among ourselves. By this compact we shall enact for the public interest of the colony Just and equal laws, decrees, and orders which we shall faithfully observe, and appoint as necessary magistrates to whom we shall obey.¡±
This document signed by everyone is recorded on an ordinary piece of rattan paper, but it has power that all the most powerful magic scrolls do not have. With it, this group of displaced people will understand how a new country is established.
In the days to come, no matter what difficulties they faced, everyone still tried their best to maintain the power of the convention.
More importantly, with the passage of time, more immigrants came to the New World, and they continued to push inland, and the "July Grass Convention" also gained a natural but important place in the vast land of the New World. Strict compliance.
Generations of settlers have felt the security of the rule of law and the value of protected freedom. They understand more clearly that they are not the lambs of extraordinary beings and have the right to decide their own destiny.
Looking back, in a fundamental sense, the profound meaning of the "July Grass Convention" is the same as the inscription on the starry flag standing above our heads representing the twenty-one colonies of the New World, and that should also be " "July Grass" should arrive
The place:
"Bring it to me,
Those who are crowded together,
People who long for freedom! "
