"This is how the same thing?!"
"Look! Isn't the man kneeling there Mayor Vernon? Why is he here?!"
"It's not just the mayor... A lot of people are tied and kneeling on the ground. Did they do something?"
"But who tied them up?"
"Something must have happened last night!"
"I woke up in the middle of the night, and saw a group of soldiers rushed into the mayor's place from the window... After that, many people were taken out..."
"That includes this mayor."
"Who caught these people?!"
"Who has this right? A post higher than the mayor... Could it be..."
…
Early in the morning, just before dawn.
A hammer-driven self-running bell in Quinceyce was struck vigorously, and the continuous sound of the bell woke people from their sleep—
People were at a loss and surprised.
Immediately, they were called out by the soldiers walking on the street shouting, and were led to gather at the gate of the city.
Here, is the city gate of Quinceys facing the direction of San Airo's Empire.
- Looking into the distance, it is a flat wasteland. If you go further west, you will reach the checkpoint set by the St. Airo Empire.
Now, the city gate of Quinceysi has been surrounded by a circle of black and white cavalry.
There was a small space in the middle, where Mayor Vernon, the officials involved, and the arrested robbers were kneeling.
The crowd gathered over pointed at these people, showing doubts and confusion on their faces.
Just then, a line of soldiers suddenly scattered on both sides.
The poor people who were originally imprisoned in the village walked out from the back, and their footsteps looked a little staggering.
Their injuries were carefully bandaged.
Sick people were properly placed in the house, and after being given medicine, they fell asleep, while those who were not in serious trouble walked out to the city gate.
They are going to see with their own eyes that these wicked people get what they deserve.
The crowd of onlookers were originally discussing with Mayor Vernon, who was kneeling on the ground, and others, who were confused and doubtful with each other...
And when these persecuted poor people appeared, the discussion suddenly stopped, then became louder, and was accompanied by extremely surprised and stunned emotions.
"Lear?!"
"Isn't he taken to the West Village? How did he become like this?!"
"Isn't old Rotter missing?! He has never been found, and he is actually here... What happened?"
"Why do these people have wounds on their bodies? And Mayor Vernon is tied up... Are they..."
Everyone was talking and guessing, and someone who knew each other went up to ask.
And some people weren't ignorant last night - they put things together this morning as if they came up with something...
Mayor Vernon was a fat middle-aged man with a somewhat honest face and a good heart.
But there is always shrewdness and calculation in his eyes.
He was still wearing the soft pajamas he had changed into when he went to sleep last night.
At this moment, the soldiers tied their hands and knelt on the ground, and the expensive pajamas were inevitably stained with dust and wrinkled by the ropes... They looked extremely embarrassed.
What's more, he was wearing thin clothes and was shivering in the air-conditioned sunlight in the morning. Even the flesh on his face was shaking with him, and his expression was full of flinch and fear.
And the others kneeling with Vernon were not far behind.
The expressions of remorse or fright on the faces of this group of people could not help but make Bunir feel extremely relieved.
There is someone beside him who understands the ins and outs of the matter.
When this person heard that the Lord Lord appeared in the village in person last night, he couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.
"The God of Creation is above! It was Lord Lord who saved you, and Lord Lord secretly arranged to arrest the wicked people like Vernon..."
That's right.
Bunir was about to answer when he heard a burst of cries from the crowd, and he raised his head—
An eagle chirped in the sky.
Immediately, an incomparably handsome eagle landed on the city wall not far away, and its blue-gold eyes looked here.
The beasts also gradually walked out from behind the soldiers.
A big black tiger with white stripes opened its mouth and yawned, then walked slowly into the rows of kneeling crowds with its tail flicked.
—The fangs and claws are close at hand.
And the sound of the beast walking back and forth, the hair on the side of the face and the side of the side almost scared Vernon and the group out.
In the end, it was a voice that relaxed their tense nerves for a moment.
But immediately, Vernon and the others were again panicked and fearful.
- They couldn't help but widen their eyes, seeing the young man in a straight waist vest and a black coat slowly walking out from the rear.
The soldiers bowed their heads respectfully and retreated from either side.
Behind the teenager was Walker, the commander-in-chief of the White Cavalry, and two of his commanders, Tyler and Barna.
After being called out by a name, the big black tiger with white stripes ran to the boy's side, purring coquettishly from his throat, and rubbed his big head intimately against the boy's outstretched palm.
Xia Zuoyi patted the briquettes to make him pay attention to the occasion, and then act like a spoiled child.
This time, when he came to Quincy, he only brought green balls, briquettes, snow balls, and white wolf ice cream.
The rest of the beasts stayed in the castle, so as not to be too obvious to reveal their tracks.
Xia Zoe stepped forward, facing the indignant or still puzzled expressions of a group of people, he raised his hand and motioned Valk to read the crimes of Vernon and others.
One by one the guilt was revealed.
And the people who were kept in the dark knew what happened in Quinceysine.
-The mayor and most officials secretly colluded with robbers, maimed and forcibly enslaved the people...
Not only that, but they also tried to conceal the discovery of minerals and sold them privately to merchants in the Saint Air Empire.
The charges are numerous and the circumstances are serious, and an order to be executed on the spot is required.
As soon as Valk's voice fell, the crowd couldn't help but cheers - this group of wicked people should die!
Especially Mayor Vernon.
People looked at him and wanted to cut him alive with a knife.
This is Desinia territory.
It is not a place where nobles can have private rights - perfect laws, new policies, etc. no longer allow nobles to act recklessly.
Not to mention the private hoarding of minerals and the persecution of innocent people...
The mayor's collusion with the robbers is even more of a crime.
After a while, the stones were picked up and thrown at Ephraim.
farmers.
Pick up other things when there are no stones on the ground.
Some people even took off their shoes and threw them into the kneeling people, spitting on them and cursing…
Xia Zoe raised her hand, and the anger that burst out in the crowd gradually calmed down.
They couldn't help clutching their chests that were beating violently. After the anger was over, they were filled with joy and excitement from the bottom of their hearts.
- They had a good lord, and Quincey was saved.
The brief darkness will pass, and then the dawn will come.
Under Xia Zoe's order, the robbers were first executed on the spot.
- They faced the rising sun and witnessed the last dazzling light in the morning, and then their heads fell and blood splattered.
Afterwards, Quincey's mayor Vernon, officials who aided the tyranny and others were dragged in front of the people in the city.
The gallows were erected here.
One by one, they were tied to their necks by thick ropes, the wooden barrels they stepped on were kicked away, and they slowly ended their lives in the pain of suffocation.
The last people left were the merchants from the San Air Empire.
They witnessed the death of the perpetrator, and their expressions became terrified and horrified.
- These people were executed cleanly, and the merchants who left their lives for the time being shivered with fright.
The businessmen shouted that they knew their mistakes, and were willing to give out a lot of property in exchange for their lives, hoping that Xia Zuoyi would let them go.
Xia Zoe said: "If the San Air Empire is willing to cede the land to compensate for my losses, as well as the damage to Quincey City and the people, I will naturally let you go."
"I want territory on the border of the Saint Air Empire..."
How could this group of merchants just package all the minerals mined in the Lifens Mountains
approaching early morning.
News came from the cavalry team that Xia Zoe sent to the border of the St. Airo Empire to pursue them—this incident was actually related to a border lord of the Saint Airo Empire.
And the gang of robbers who colluded with Mayor Vernon also included people from the Saint Air Empire...
This reminded Xia Zoe of the bandits who occupied a large area of territory on the border of the Saint Air Empire before.
- Although it was later destroyed by the cavalry team led by Prince Warner, it was inevitable that some fish would escape.
They even escaped from the borders of the San Air Empire to Quincesi.
Xia Zuoyi didn't plan to let this matter pass so easily.
He found an excuse and left the lives of these merchants for the time being.
Immediately afterwards, a letter was handed to the frontier lord of the Saint Air Empire.
What Xia Zoe wrote in the letter was that your secret deal with Mayor Vernon has seriously lost my precious time.
It caused even more harm to Quincy and the people in the city.
Please pay the corresponding compensation in time - in exchange for the lives of these merchants in exchange for the territory of the empire's frontier.
The border lord who received the letter laughed angrily.
A group of irrelevant businessmen actually asked him to compensate the border territory for their lives? !
—The lord of Desinia is too ridiculous.
He immediately ignored the letter, let alone reported the letter demanding compensation to the king or prince.
…
Three days later, Tyler led a large number of white cavalry troops to the gate of the border of the San Air Empire and lined up.
They took out the incendiary bombs that Xia Zoe had ordered and threw them on the city gate—hundreds of incendiary bombs burst into a violent fire on the city wall.
The fire couldn't be put out, and it burned more and more intense.
In the end, the guards of the city gates fled in all directions, the gates were opened, and the people in the city were panicked.
Taylor ordered someone to shout - the rebels will kill, surrender will not kill!
Lord Desinia is only here to collect compensation and will not do anything to ordinary people.
In the past, Desinia sent a beak doctor to help people suffering from the Black Death in various places, and later, there was a kind deed by the Thorns Chamber of Commerce to send relief materials.
After panicking, the people in the border city of the Saint Air Empire silently gave way, allowing the white cavalry army led by Taylor to enter the city unimpeded.
It didn't take long for the lords and nobles of this frontier territory to be caught before they could escape.
He had no idea that the city gate was so caught off guard and breached at such a fast speed that the knights guarding the city gate were powerless to resist...
What was that thing that was thrown up that could explode? !
- The borders of the St. Airo Empire were occupied by Desinia at great speed.
When the news reached the imperial city, the king was immediately furious.
