[b]The guards that were on the edges of the courtyard shifted, somewhat uncomfortable at the man's words.
Hawkwood was in the crowd, the honorable Knight walking through the crowd towards the podium [/b]

Come to speak your mind? Go ahead, but I'll stick to the podium. [b]He tipped his hat in recognition, with a slight smile. He rested himself down on his cane, waiting for what he was to say. [/b]

[b]The Knight strode up to the podium, looking at the man[/b] "Why do you say these things?" [spoiler]Also if this is a plot, there's a long line :/[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Nope, but some major changes are happening (Dojo is now victim to anything out in space, due to JT thinking the villagers were ungrateful.) [/spoiler] Because they are true, fool. Look around you. We rely on mass murderers to protect us from people just like them. I will not stand for that.

[spoiler]Eh? What does that mean? [/spoiler] "Then leave. No one is asking you to stay. These mass murderers protect those that cannot protect themselves. Even if many are killed in the process."

Yeah. Let's just go out and all get slaughtered by wild beasts. As much as I hate it, we live under the dojo's shadow. I'll make sure those "gods" don't have to worry about protecting us. They don't exactly care anyway. We're just a speck on their shoulders. [b]He gestures to the crowd with a chuckle, the back to the rock.[/b] We're like germs to them.

"Well what have you done? Have you saved countless lives from enemies that have attacked us?"
-
Nothing. Not yet. But there's only one way from hell. Up. Whatever comes our way, we must be prepared for.

"If you have no saved lives, the way members have what gives you the right to speak like this? What gives you the right to question them? Their methods. Perhaps a thousand people live. But perhaps, because of these deaths two thousand people live. And then?"

I don't think you understand the situation. This is not about sacrifices. It's about how our security is the definition of garbage. If they can't do anything about it, we will.

"And what will you do? Arm the people with weapons?"
