Despite

the
desire
of
opposition,
one
of
the
“hundred’s”
chief
came
to
the
stage
and
spoke:
What
for
we
stood?
«Brothers
and
sisters!
I
am
here
as
a
simple
man,
same
as
my
father.
Our
leaders
shook
hands
with
the
killer.
With
the
one
who
has
been
killing
us.
And
now
they
say
he
is
going
to
rule
us
untill
December?
The
killer
is
gonna
rule
us
10
more
month?
By
no
means
it
can
happen!
I
swear
my
life,
if

and
my
“hundred”
will
