The capital of the Kingdom of Frost.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The former imperial capital, Molinko, was brightly lit at night. The streets were full of merchants and tourists, as well as dancers from various taverns. The whole city revealed a kind of extravagant prosperity.
But today it is also brightly lit, but the original spar light from the street shop has become the "torch" inscribed with the illumination technique held by the city guards.
Pedestrians walking on the street also hid in the house tonight and did not dare to go on the street.
The entire street has long been occupied by city guards in full armor.
Baron Gologan was a member of the city guard, and his noble birth gave him a commanding seat in the city guard.
"This is the first martial law in the imperial city in more than a decade."
Baron Gologan walked the streets of Molinko on horseback, flanked by city guards holding "torches".
"After all, Prince Sheil not only betrayed our homeland and turned to the devil, but even tried to assassinate His Majesty the King. These crimes were enough to send him to the guillotine," said an adjutant beside Baron Gologan.
Listening to the adjutant's extremely angry tone, Baron Gologan opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only swallow it back.
He actually knew the inside story a long time ago, and this was a secret that was enough to cost him his life!
That is, the king is likely to be disguised by the judges of the Holy Kingdom!
So Baron Gologan also knew very well that what Prince Sheil did was not a "betrayal", but to save the country.
The first premise is that no one will believe his nonsense, and the second is that the imperial capital of this country has already been controlled by the judge.
"Lord Baron!"
The three people suddenly came out of the street, and their appearance interrupted Baron Gologan's thoughts.
"Is it true what the missionaries said? His Highness Sheier turned out to be the devil's minion?"
One of the commoner women, who risked being trampled by horses, came to Baron Gologan, and it seemed that she was a loyal follower of His Royal Highness Sheil.
Many people in the Land of Frost are proud of this young prince, not only for his personal charisma, but also for his superhuman talent and legendary experience recognized by the Spirit of Frost.
Baron Gologan used to admire the young prince, but... he was too rash!
The baron looked at the pleading eyes of the commoner, clenching his teeth and trying to tell the truth.
"Prince Sheier has taken refuge in the Demon Race, and he is very dangerous!"
When Baron Gologan finished saying this, he felt as if he had exhausted all his strength, and his heart became very heavy when he saw the dim eyes of the commoner woman as if saying "how is it possible".
What a humiliation...
Baron Gologan was clutching the reins of his horse, and he could not confirm whether the Inquisitors were spying on him.
If he leaked these secrets, Baron Gologan himself would not live long, and even his family would be implicated.
Baron Gologan glanced around, the martial law had caused the entire imperial capital to be in a panic.
In addition to the civilians hiding in the house, there are many missionaries shouting something in the street.
"The devil is lurking in this city! Homeless people please go to church, we can give you shelter!"
The Kingdom of the Holy Religion has built several churches in the imperial capital, and some of the commoners in the imperial capital believed in the God of Holy Light under the preaching of the missionaries.
The news that His Royal Highness had taken refuge in the devil had already spread in the imperial capital.
Baron Gologan can only do one thing now, and that is to pray that Prince Sheil has escaped from the imperial capital.
But his last ray of hope was ruthlessly shattered.
"Baron Gologan! We have found the trace of the demon! Please lead your troops to the southern city wall immediately!"
A soldier of the city guard rode to the front of Baron Gologan on horseback and informed Baron Gologan's troops with a message.
Has it been discovered? The southern city wall... In other words, you can escape from the imperial city with just one step away
Baron Gologan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, but he still obeyed the order conveyed by the messenger, immediately waved the reins in his hand, and led the soldiers under his command to the southern city wall.
When Baron Gologan led his troops to the bottom of the city wall, thousands of soldiers had gathered around the city wall.
They held "torches" for lighting in their hands, and the original spar emitting bright light on the "torches" converged into a river.
Baron Gologan rushed to the front of the team with the last glimmer of hope. In his imagination, such a long time was enough for Prince Sheil to escape from the southern city wall.
Unfortunately, when Baron Gologan saw Prince Sheil's figure above the southern city wall, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was instantly extinguished, but the next second his breathing paused slightly.
The prince was standing above the city wall in a silver-white knight armor. Facing the thousands of soldiers who had surrounded her, Sheier's face was very calm, so calm that it seemed that these soldiers did not come to arrest her. She was sent to the guillotine, but instead came to greet her triumphantly.
"The devil is there!"
Someone in the army shouted loudly, and the inscription magic that was able to project light was cast by the caster accompanying the army to illuminate the prince's body.
"The whole army is ready for battle!"
The commander from another legion shouted, the soldiers had drawn out their bows and crossbows, and the caster had taken out a magic wand.
Baron Gologan had no choice but to draw his long sword and wanted to give the same order, but the words were choked in his throat and he couldn't say it anyway.
Run away quickly! Baron Gologan kept shouting in his heart.
Sheier only needed to jump off the back wall to escape the imperial capital, but the young prince did not choose to do so.
"My people."
Her gray pupils glanced down at the soldiers who took out arrows and aimed at her, and a cold voice echoed in everyone's ears.
As soon as Sheier's voice fell, Baron Gologan heard someone giving the order to shoot arrows.
Hundreds of arrows cut through the air and shot at Sheier standing at the head of the city wall, and a transparent ice wall rose in front of Sheier.
But the ice wall couldn't stop the arrows with magic inscriptions at all. When the ice wall was shattered, Sheier pulled out the long sword around his waist and instantly cut off more than a dozen arrows that shot at her.
"You! How long are you going to be deceived by those despicable guys in the Holy Land!" Sheier's voice carried an icy chill into the hearts of everyone present.
When Baron Gologan listened to Prince Sheil's words, he felt suffocated as if his heart was being grabbed by a hand.
He tried to answer Sheyer's question, but cowardice and the price of failure locked his throat.
The surrounding soldiers seemed to be a little shaken.
"Don't be fooled by the devil's words! His Majesty has given an order, you must catch that one..." A legion commander loudly reminded the soldiers that this was an order from the king.
A voice overshadowed his voice.
Baron Gologan widened his eyes and stared at the southern city wall tightly. A huge "painting" appeared on the wall of the southern city wall. Baron Gologan recognized this moving "painting". The scenery in the middle is the city "Saint Sossburg" around the fortress.
"The haze has enveloped our country!"
"Inquisitors have the ability to transform into the appearance of others."
"Even the patriarch of the Hoarfrost Deer family was replaced by the Inquisitor?"
"The country of the Holy Religion has made mistakes, and mistakes must be punished, severe punishment!"
"I will personally lead the army to guillotine those who have made mistakes."
The video played on the city wall is a very short clip of the documentary "Civil Unrest in the Land of Frost", but the content of the clip directly shows the audience what is happening in this country and what Sheier is going to do!
After the projection of this short film appeared on the city wall, the soldiers who were loading the crossbow forgot what they were doing, and looked at the content above dully, even if the commander next to him shouted with his voice to no avail.
The loud sound even attracted the surrounding people, who looked at the "paintings" on the south city wall from the window.
The content of the short film continues until the last scene, which is also the most detailed scene, that is, Prince Sheir is brought back to the main hall for interrogation, until the back with a long sword piercing the king's chest.
After the blade pierced the king's chest, and the king's appearance gradually changed into another person's appearance, Baron Gologan felt that his breathing stopped, and the brains of the surrounding soldiers also fell into a state of death.
The air became silent in an instant, and the "painting" that lasted less than three minutes quickly disappeared.
When all this was over, Sheier was still standing on the top of the city wall, her eyes glanced past the soldiers below, Sheier could feel that the eyes of the soldiers looking at her were completely different.
"His Majesty the King we respect has been replaced by a despicable judge!" Sheer shouted loudly, "I can't forgive them for their crimes! Can you bear it?!"
No one spoke, the weak soldiers had no right to speak out on this matter, and they had no idea who to believe.
If they choose to stand on Prince Sheir's side now, then they are likely to be the sinners who betrayed the country and be sent to the guillotine together with Prince Sheir.
The knuckles of Baron Gologan's hand holding the reins were whitened, and his cowardly throat was finally filled with courage at this moment.
The baron raised his long sword and used all his strength to shout out the words that he had accumulated in his heart.
"For His Royal Highness!"
"For His Royal Highness!"
The moment Baron Gologan raised his long sword, the soldiers around him with "torches" also shouted loudly.
The sound began to spread, and the people watching by the window poured their voices into the waves.
The long night in the Land of Frost was completely ignited by a flash of fire tonight.
