An unprecedented uprising erupted.
The True Believers of the New Rule Garden spread the word; they constituted one-tenth of all Stone Slaves, and thereby unleashed an astonishing force. The cries of the revolt spread from one to ten, ten to a hundred, hundred to a thousand… In an instant, all the Stone Slaves of the Royal City burst forth with long-suppressed rage!
The Stone Slaves picked up wooden poles, nail rakes, shovels…they grabbed anything that could be used as a weapon. Under the leadership of the New Rule Garden, the slaves, the freemen, and the Noble True Believers who could no longer endure Antion's rule, surged like a cataclysmic flood toward the high and mighty.
King Antion had executed the Stone Slaves so abruptly; just as abruptly did the city rise in revolt.
This long-simmering uprising caught every Noble Minister off guard.
