The Queen's words once again stirred up the excitement among the people in the audience. They yelled and shouted in unison, denouncing the Chinese Tower, which they had no idea about.
After the Queen finished her speech, she walked down the stage and waved to the people around her who were shouting her name.
When she returned to the pavilion, the guards took Liu Pengfei to the platform and sent him to the gallows. Liu Pengfei staggered, as if most of his strength had been drained away. He had to rely on the strength of two guards to drag him onto the platform after walking a few steps back.
Liu Pengfei stood on the stage, looking at the crowd glaring at him, listening to the strong calls to hang him, and suddenly felt a trance. He didn't understand why such an inexplicable thing happened to him. He had worked hard to pursue power for that woman, but that woman abandoned him. And these people he didn't know were easily bewitched by that hypocritical woman and wanted him to die so much. And they had never even heard of the name of the Tower of China, but they kept cursing him and his compatriots with all kinds of vicious words.
He wandered among the crowd, perhaps looking for a pair of sympathetic eyes, but wherever his eyes touched, he saw only anger, contempt and hatred. Until he saw those black eyes.
Black eyes? Those eyes were clear and bright, totally out of tune with this dirty and crazy world. He looked at them carefully and realized that it was Luo Ling! His heart began to beat violently, like a person falling into the abyss who suddenly grabbed a rope.
Luo Ling was mixed in with the crowd, with Ye Zi beside her, while Mei, Roger, Kalanda and Gabriel spread out to form an arc, surrounding the middle stand.
They all wore some disguises and used some stealth techniques to avoid attracting attention.
"Is Laura crazy? She actually turned against all of us? Does she want a war with us?" Ye Zi couldn't help but ask.
"This is not only her attitude, but also the attitude of other magic towers. It is very clear which magicians we in the China Tower interact with on a daily basis, and whose side we stood on in the fierce battle that night. Not to mention that the princess's confidant Prince Javier is now with us and is under our protection. Our relationship with him is self-evident. The war has actually started a long time ago, and everyone has chosen their own side. Queen Laura just stated this in front of everyone." Luo Ling analyzed the core of the problem in a few simple sentences, "and Liu Pengfei is just a victim who was used as a waste."
"Why are these people still fighting for power at a time like this? Don't they know that once the god of nature wakes up, he may deprive them of everything? There is no guarantee at all based on that so-called oracle."
"Because they are human beings. Just like us, they are always moving forward in contradictions and conflicts. When a group of people pay a great price to choose a path, it is often like a train speeding on a track. If they change direction at will, it may result in the destruction of the train and the death of people." Luo Ling said with a sigh.
While they were talking, Liu Pengfei had already been pushed onto the gallows. He hardly struggled, but just looked at Luo Ling with pleading eyes, as if begging for her help.
"Liu Pengfei's mouth was even tied up. In the so-called trial, they didn't even give him a chance to defend himself. Who would accept such a verdict?" Ye Zi said.
Luo Ling stared at the execution platform and said, "You may have some misunderstanding about the trial. In this era, a monarch's words are enough for trials. The queen has just issued a verdict."
"So, he's going to be hanged? When do we make our move? Now?"
"Wait, the atmosphere here is not right." Luo Ling said softly.
"Sister Luo Ling, what have you discovered?" Ye Zi asked.
"I felt a faint magical fluctuation, very slight, but it permeated all directions of this square." Luo Ling narrowed her eyes, as if she was trying to experience and feel the power with her heart.
"Could it be that the enemy has set a trap?" Ye Zi asked.
Luo Ling said: "Even if it is a trap, we don't have time to analyze it."
As she spoke, Liu Pengfei was pulled to the bottom of the gallows. He was forced to stand on a movable floor, and two guards began to put a rope around him. The rope was strangled around his neck from the front and tightened from the back. As long as the floor under his feet moved, there would be a hole there, and Liu Pengfei would be strangled to death on the rack quickly.
Just as the two guards put on the ropes and retreated to both sides, an extremely sharp ice blade appeared in front of Luo Ling and flew towards the rope above Liu Pengfei's head.
Mei and Gabriel followed the plan and attacked the shed where the princess was, while Roger and Kalanda tried their best to rush to the platform to rescue Liu Pengfei.
The ice blade slashed across the rope on Liu Pengfei's head, making a slight sound, and the rope broke. Liu Pengfei suddenly realized his situation, someone came to save him. He hurriedly jumped forward and wanted to jump off the platform. But at this time, the guard who had just escorted him stretched out his hand and grabbed him. It was as if the real fighting spirit burst out from his arm and turned into a claw, pulling him back and throwing him to the ground on the platform.
Another guard drew out his sword and blocked with it, actually blocking the attacks of Roger and Kalanda one after another.
At the same time, the fireballs fired by Mei and Gabriel hit the shed, and the scorching flames burned the entire shed, but a translucent barrier was revealed under the shed. The two court mages were well prepared and completely resisted the attacks of the two war angels.
Luo Ling saw from a distance that Queen Laura was standing under the awning, looking at them coldly. It seemed that all these attacks did not surprise her.
"Sister Luo Ling, it seems that your premonition is correct. She has been prepared. Whether it is these two guards or the two court mages beside her, they are all true masters. And Salmeron over there has not made a move yet." Ye Zi said.
"It's not just these people." Luo Ling's eyes were focused on the intersection, where strong magic fluctuations began to surge. Magicians were constantly being released from their invisible state due to the magic fluctuations, revealing their true appearance. They were blocking all the intersections. Most of these people were holding a magic prop similar to a plate and were using it to cast spells. "It seems that this is a big trap, and we are the prey that rushed up on our own."
