“Either we will be dead while attempting to get a better life for our generations or we will return as triumphed. Either they will exterminate us with their brutal use of force, or they will face the ramifications of their atrocities. Either our corpses will be returned in mutilated form or we will return with glaring faces. But one thing is clear we will be attired with garlands and history will remind us of gallant and revolutionaries.”

Edward tried to increase the valor of the audience through his enthusiastic speech. Edward has become the center of gravity in the movement against the ruthlessness of the state in no time. And today they were planning their final armed march.

Ladan was a prosperous and non-violent country that had no army, king, or arms. The people of Ladan were living peacefully and were producing grains and fruits not for themselves only but for the whole world for centuries. They invaded none and no one invaded them as well.  It was about  90 years ago when a few mercenaries permeated their land Initially these foreigners were involved in trade only but soon they started spreading their poison around. They started the process of brainwashing the people and asked them to make a government structure. By offering money and gold to a few hungry people, they succeeded in producing some black sheep in those love-spreading people.

As the time passed, their grip on the vernacular matters increased. They bought some important zones of that land of 500k people and levied many taxes on those people while using them. The roads, the ports, and the mountains went into their possession, and innocent people were being charged with many taxes. The condition of people was deteriorating day by day but they were very weak before those Praetorians. The land which was known for prosperity, beauty, and wealth, soon became an edifice of pain, chagrins, and hardships.

Then there rose between them a person who couldn't tolerate such a miserable condition of his nation and resolved with himself to change it. He started an armed movement against the monopolists and oligarchs who were having direct excess on the military and government and who made this free land, a colony.

In the start, Edward tolerated many hardships but he didn't stop spreading his message to the people of Ladan and many like-minded people joined his mission. They were ambushing them from the last 10 years but those were many minor ones and didn't affect them much .Now, Edward has earned much reputation among his nation and his army has also raised. They were all set to storm the castle.

“They snatched from us our land,they pillaged on our resources, they siphoned off our wealth and they want us to be their slave….are we there slave” he asked in a loud sound.

“No” , echoed

“Will we become their slave?” He again asked

Audience again chanted “No”

“What do you want” , Edward asked in boisterous sound

“Freedom” audience replied

“How will this come” he kept on asking question valorly.

“Through the revolution” His army answered.

And they marched towards the capital .  Their contendors were, though less in number but were heavily armed with weapons and explosives. They were trying their best to curb the movement using artillery,arrows and fires but when revolutionaries commit to sacrifice their life for a cause , there is no power that can stop them. 

Edward was a shewd person,though he was not a military man. He divided the attention of opponents on many fronts and didn’t attack from one side onle. A few of his men managed to sneak in the castle through a secret tunnel. Seeing the revolutionaries in the castle confounded the enemies. They opened the main gate of castle and revolutionaries rushed in.

Crossing barricades after barricades and circumventing all the hurdles , soon the stupendous palace which was pivot point of all that ruthlessness on them. They extracted all the monopolist from the building and hoisted their flags on top of that building ,enchanting victory slogans.
