Views:

"What's going on? When did Alfred and Alexander get together?" Regner looked a little surprised when he saw the prince of the empire and the prime minister together.

"When did they get together? They were always on the same front." Nidhogg sneered: "Do you really think there will be fair competition for things like the throne? No! Never! In fact, Larvin has already The identity of the heir to the throne of Alexander has been confirmed! Apart from Larvin, the only one who knows about this is Alfred, an old fox who is loyal to the empire. Alfred seems to support Joffrey, but in fact he is It's just acting. It's just to bring necessary pressure to Alexander's growth and balance the imperial power. But in fact, Alexander has already seen clearly the rules of the game set by his father, so a few years ago, he You already have close contacts with Alfred! As the director of military intelligence, you didn't even investigate these things. At this level, you dare to participate in the power game. Besides being stupid, I'm really I can’t think of any other words to describe it.”

"So I was wrong from the beginning?" Regnar murmured blankly. He finally understood that fate is actually one choice after another. Your current choices will affect your future path. But sometimes, once you choose a wrong option, everything in the future will inevitably develop in the wrong direction, and there is no room for recovery.

"Kneel down!" The guard escorting Regna pushed Regna to the high platform in the square, and then kicked Regna's knee socket hard in an attempt to make Regna kneel down.

Regnar turned his head and glared at them. No matter whether he was ruined or full of evil, he at least had a clear conscience. Now, would he still be stepped on and humiliated by these ants? Although Regnar had lost all his power at this time, the fierce aura he had cultivated from being in power for a long time had not faded. Regnar glared at those who had never gone to the front line to fight on the grounds of "defending Merindel, the last heart of the empire." The guards were immediately startled. They took a step back in fear, and for a moment they did not dare to use force against Regna.

"I'm sorry, but I hope you can cooperate with me in the last scene." Alexander sighed helplessly and guiltily when he saw the scene on the execution platform. He took out the key to control the God-binding lock from his arms. , and then pressed the upper button.

So a golden light shot at Regnar again. Just like last time, after the golden light dissipated, there was a light energy shackle around Regnar's neck. Under the pull of the shackle, he was forced to kneel on the ground.

"yeah!!!"

"Praise the Holy Light!!!"

"Praise to His Highness Alexander!!!"

"Long live the Empire!!!"

"Humanity will never succumb to darkness!!!"

"Let Dark Elegy go to hell!!!"

Seeing Regna kneeling down, the civilians onlookers let out deafening cheers. While spitting in Regna's direction, they threw stones, rotten eggs and other things that they had prepared for a long time at Regna. If If it weren't for the desperate efforts of the guards to stop him, Regnar would have been eaten alive by the angry civilians before he even got his turn for execution. Whether it was the Civil War or the wave of death, they brought too much hardship and pressure to civilians. And now, they finally found an outlet for their emotions - Regnar.

The cheering, insults, and throwing continued for a full ten minutes. Alexander did not stop the behavior of the civilians because he knew that the people needed an outlet now, so let Regnar feel aggrieved again...

Ten minutes later, the angry crowd finally calmed down a bit. Taking this opportunity, Alexander raised his hand to signal everyone present to be quiet. At this time, Regnar had been hit all over with bruises by various objects, and even his consciousness was blurred again.

"It's really embarrassing." Nidhogg laughed mercilessly from the bottom of Regnar's heart.

In the stands, a shadow appeared vaguely next to Alexander.

"How's it going?" Alexander asked softly to the shadow behind him.

"Miss Lisanna is still losing her temper, but the prohibition jointly imposed by the Palace Mage Association and the Procuratorate is very strong. She will not be able to leave the palace in a short period of time." Shadow answered.

"Very good, Zhu Hun, let your people take good care of her. Don't let her cause any trouble again. After today, as long as Regnar dies, I will explain it to her personally when I go back." Alexander nodded. head.

"yes."

"Then Your Highness, let's get started!" Alfred on the other side suggested.

"..." Alexander stared at the embarrassed Regnar in the stands for a while, and finally took a deep breath: "Let's begin!"

"All loyal and brave people, I am the second prince of the empire, Alexander, Alexander Hawke." Alexander walked to the front of the square stand. Although he did not use any amplification equipment, the words of the second prince still reached everyone clearly. In the ears: "I am very happy that everyone can come to Merinder Square today. Today is a day full of glory and hope. Because here I want to announce that from today on, the Civil War between the two empires has completely ended. And the wave of death that has caused us suffering and fear in the past six months has been resolved by us. Although there are still many zombies entrenched in the south, I think I can still declare that the Chino Continent has been unified by us. Got it!"

"Long live!!!

"Long live the Empire!!!"

"Long live His Highness Alexander!!!"

Cheers rose one after another again, yes, peace, the long-lost peace finally came to the Kino continent again. Not only that, but more importantly, the Hawke Empire will usher in a new life. Because, they have completed an unprecedented feat in thousands of years - overthrowing the ancient Stoke Empire and unifying the entire Chino continent!

The cheers of the civilians continued for a long time. After they all calmed down, Alexander continued: "Similarly, today is also a heavy and sad day. Although we people have survived the catastrophes of the Civil War and the tide of death, However, many of our relatives, friends, and lovers have left us. I feel the same way as you. Because of my most beloved father, the great late King Larvin the Great, and my dearest brother, the outstanding magician The genius Prince Joffrey lost his life in this catastrophe. This is the tragedy of the empire, and this is the tragedy of mankind. Now, I hope that everyone present can join me in observing five minutes of silence, and let us pay tribute to those who fought to protect Our homeland, all the heroes who sacrificed their lives to defend human dignity, they are our heroes! Let us always remember them! Heroes are immortal!"

At this time, there was no other sound in the square except for the echo of Alexander's last words. Everyone present closed their eyes and prayed devoutly for the heroes who died in the war. They all understand that it is precisely because of their selflessness and bravery that the empire can usher in the sunshine and glory it has today, and the living can continue to enjoy peace and happiness.

"Ahem..." Just as the moment of silence was about to end, a discordant cough sounded.

Regnar was hit in the back of the head by a large stone on the execution platform. Just now he lay on the platform like a dead man for a long time, but now he finally recovered. He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, then supported himself with trembling arms and climbed up. Regnar adjusted his posture so that he could barely bend down and sit on the ground with his head lowered.

Even though he lowered his head, Regnar kept trying to turn his eyes upward. He wanted to look at Alexander, the paladin he once thought was upright, kind and bright.

"Alexander..." Regnar stared into the eyes of the second prince. In those eyes, Regnar still saw apology, but there was no regret at all. Regnar raised his voice and screamed miserably: "Alexander!!!"
