Translator: 549690339
The imperial capital of the Kingdom of Frost.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
In the past, the imperial capital of Molinke was brightly lit at night. The streets were filled with merchants and tourists, as well as dancers from various taverns. The entire city exuded a kind of luxurious prosperity.
However, today was also brightly lit. However, the original crystal light from the shops on the street had become the ‘torch’that was engraved with the illumination spell in the hands of the city guards.
The pedestrians walking on the street also hid in their houses tonight, not daring to go out on the street.
The entire street had long been occupied by the heavily armored city guards.
Baron Grogan was a member of the city guards. His noble birth had given him a position as the commander of the city guards.
“This is the first martial law in the imperial city in more than ten years.”
Baron Glogan rode his horse on the streets of Morinke. On both sides of him were city guards holding torches.
“After all, not only did prince shier betray our motherland and join the devil, he even tried to assassinate His Majesty the King. These crimes are enough to send him to the guillotine,”said an adjutant beside Baron Glogan.
Baron Glogan listened to the extremely angry tone of the adjutant. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he could only swallow it back down.
He actually knew the inside story of all of this a long time ago. This was a secret that was enough to cost him his life!
It was very likely that the king was disguised by those adjudicators in the Kingdom of the sacred religion!
Therefore, Baron Logan also knew clearly that what Prince Shier did was not a ‘betrayal’, but to save the country.
The first condition was that no one would believe his nonsense. The second condition was that the imperial capital of the country had long been controlled by the judges.
“Baron!”
Three people suddenly walked out from the street. Their appearance interrupted Baron Grogan’s thoughts.
“Is what those missionaries said true? Prince Shier has become the Devil’s Pawn?”
One of the commoner women risked being trampled by horses to come before Baron Grogan. It seemed that she was a loyal supporter of His Highness Shier.
Many people in the frost kingdom were proud of this young prince. Not only was his personal charisma charming, but also his superhuman talent and legendary experience recognized by the spirit of Frost.
Baron Grogan had once admired this young prince, but… he was too rash!
The Baron looked at the pleadings of the commoner and gritted his teeth, wanting to tell him the truth.
“Prince Shier has already defected to the demons. He is very dangerous!”
When Baron Grogan finished saying this, he felt as if he had used all his strength. He looked at the commoner woman’s dimmed gaze as if she was saying, “How is this possible?” His heart became very heavy.
What a humiliation..
Baron Logan gripped the reins of the horse tightly. He could not confirm if the judges were spying on him.
If he revealed these secrets, Baron Logan would not be able to live for long. Even his family would be implicated.
Baron Logan looked around. The martial law had caused the entire imperial city to be in a state of panic.
Other than the civilians hiding in their houses, there were also many missionaries shouting something on the streets.
“The devil is hiding in this city! Homeless people, please go to the church. We can give you protection!”
The Kingdom of the Holy Church had already established several churches in the imperial city. The civilians in the imperial city had some faith in the god of Holy Light under the missionaries’preaching.
The news that His Highness the prince had defected to the devil had long spread throughout the imperial capital.
Baron Grogan could only do one thing now, and that was to pray that Prince Shier had already escaped the imperial capital.
But his last glimmer of hope was mercilessly shattered.
“Baron Grogan! We have found traces of the devil! Please lead your troops to the south city wall immediately!”
A City Guard soldier rode his horse to the front of Baron Grogan and informed Baron Grogan’s troops of the news.
Had they been discovered? The south city wall… in other words, they were only one step away from escaping from the Imperial City?
Baron Grogan’s heart sank, but he still listened to the order given by the messenger. He immediately waved the reins in his hand and led his troops to the south city wall.
When Baron Glogan led his troops to the bottom of the city wall, there were already thousands of soldiers gathered around the city wall.
They held ‘torches’that were used for lighting, and the original crystals that were shining on the torches converged into a river.
Baron Glogan rushed to the front of the group with the last glimmer of hope. He had imagined that such a long time would be enough for Prince Shier to escape from the south wall.
Unfortunately, when Baron Glogan saw the figure of Prince Shier on the south city wall, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was instantly extinguished. However, in the next second, his breathing stopped slightly.
The prince stood on the top of the city wall in silver-white Knight armor. Facing the thousands of soldiers who had surrounded her, shier’s expression was very calm, so calm that it was as if these soldiers did not come to capture her and send her to the guillotine, but instead came to welcome her triumphant return.
“The demons are there!”
Someone in the army shouted loudly. The inscription magic that could cast light was cast by the spell casters in the army and illuminated the prince’s body.
“Prepare the entire army for battle!”
The commander of the other army shouted. The soldiers had already taken out their crossbows, and the spell casters had also taken out their magic staffs.
Baron Glogan had no choice but to pull out his long sword and wanted to give the same order, but the words were stuck in his throat and could not be said no matter what.
Hurry up and run! Baron Glogan kept shouting in his heart.
Shiel only needed to jump off the back of the city wall to escape from the imperial city. However, this young prince did not choose to do so.
“My subjects.”
Her gray eyes swept across the soldiers below who took out their crossbows and aimed them at her. Her cold voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
As soon as Shiel finished speaking, Baron Glogan heard someone give the order to release the arrows.
Hundreds of arrows pierced through the air and shot toward shier, who was standing on the top of the city wall. A transparent ice wall rose in front of shier.
However, the ice wall could not stop the arrows with magic inscriptions. The moment the ice wall was shattered, shier pulled out the long sword at her waist and instantly cut off more than ten arrows that were shot at her.
“You! How long will you be deceived by those despicable people from the kingdom of the sacred religion!”Shier’s voice carried a cold chill that seeped into the hearts of everyone present.
When Baron Logan heard Prince Shier’s words, he felt as if his heart had been grabbed by a hand and suffocated.
He wanted to respond to Shier’s question, but the price of cowardice and failure had locked his throat.
The surrounding soldiers seemed to waver slightly.
“Don’t be deceived by the words of the Devil! His Majesty the King has already given an order. We must capture that…”a commander reminded the soldiers loudly that this was an order from the king.
However, a voice drowned out his voice.
Baron Grogan widened his eyes and stared at the south city wall. A huge ‘painting’appeared on the wall of the south city wall. Baron Grogan recognized the scenery in this moving ‘painting’, it was the city around the fortress, ‘Saint Sessberg’.
“The haze has already enveloped our country!”
“The judges have the ability to change into other people’s appearance.”
“Even the chief of the White Frost Deer family has been replaced by the judges?”
“The country of the sacred religion has made a mistake. If they make a mistake, they must be punished. They must be severely punished!”
“I will personally lead the army to send those judges who have made a mistake to the guillotine.”
The film that was playing on the city wall was a very short clip of the documentary ‘internal strife of the Frost Nation’. However, the content of the clip was very direct and showed the audience what was happening in this country and what shier was preparing to do!
After the projection of the short film appeared on the city wall, the soldiers who were loading their crossbows forgot their work and stared blankly at the content on it. No matter how hard the commander beside them shouted, it was useless.
The loud sound even attracted the surrounding citizens. They looked at the ‘painting’that appeared on the south city wall through the window.
The content of the short film continued until the last scene. It was also the scene that was described in the most detail. Prince Shier was brought back to the main hall for interrogation until he pierced the king’s chest with a long sword.
When the sword pierced the king’s chest, the king’s appearance gradually changed into another person’s appearance. Baron Grogan felt that his breathing had stopped, and the minds of the surrounding soldiers had also sunk into a state of stillness.
The air instantly became silent, and the ‘painting’that had not even lasted three minutes gradually disappeared.
When all this was over, shier was still standing on top of the city wall. Her gaze swept across the soldiers below, and shier could feel that the way the soldiers looked at her was completely different.
“The king, whom we respect, has been replaced by the despicable judge!”Shier shouted loudly, “I can not forgive their crimes! Can you also bear it? !”
No one spoke. Those weak soldiers had no right to speak on this matter. They did not know who to believe.
If they chose to stand on Prince Shier’s side now, they would most likely become sinners who betrayed their country and be sent to the guillotine together with Prince Shier.
The joints of Baron Grogan’s hand holding the reins had already turned white. His throat, which had been locked by cowardice, was finally filled with courage at this moment.
The Baron raised his longsword high and used all the strength in his body to shout out the words that he had suppressed in his heart.
“For His Highness the Prince!”
“For His Highness the Prince!”
The moment Baron Grogan raised his longsword high, the soldiers holding torches around him also shouted out loud.
The voices began to spread, and the people watching by the windows also poured their voices into the waves.
A long night in the land of Frost was set ablaze tonight.
