At first, Anning tried to struggle, turning back to address the onlookers: "Everyone! Stay calm, don't be impatient. This morning we will continue to demand the King to withdraw the troops, we cannot give up hope just yet. I am now rushing to the Versailles Palace to join the discussion, so first..."
De Mulan came up and grabbed Anning: "What's there to discuss! Discuss how the King intends to use bayonets to expel representatives? In times like this, we should take up arms and save the National Assembly!
"Mr. Frost, please lead us!"
Anning was about to dodge, but the carriage driver he had just stopped whipped his horses and left!
——Don't go! I command you to stop in the name of the National Assembly!
Anning let out a cry of despair in his heart.
But the carriage sped away into the distance.
It's over, now I've become the leader.
Anning quickly underwent a change of thought: there was no escaping now, so might as well stand firm in this position and take up the post.
