Ranking Of Kings: My Land Is SSS Rank

685 An Explosion In Silence

In the eyes of the people in the city, the Immortal Academy was still very mysterious. It was always shrouded in a layer of fog, and people couldn’t help but be curious.

Before they knew it, two days had passed.

…

At this moment, it was already the third day after the notice was posted in Liberty City.

This day was the deadline given by the Castellan’s mansion. They had to choose about 100 beautiful women from the city. If they couldn’t do it, they would face the thunderous anger of the Castellan.

And on this day, the atmosphere in the city also began to become very strange.

From time to time, people would gather in groups of three to five and chat with each other, secretly communicating with their eyes.

At the same time, there was an undercurrent surging in the city.

This strangeness was hidden in a depressing atmosphere. The bride selection was held in the city, and there were a large number of people who had originally lived in the ancient city. These people were not separated from their children but were complete family clans that had gathered together.

Bride selection in the city was to let their daughter enter the Castellan’s mansion.

Hundreds of girls had already entered the Castellan’s mansion, and there was no news of any of them so far. This made many families who were willing to send their daughters in before not dare to do so now. If they were sent in, they might die a miserable death without a burial place. This was pushing them into a pit of fire. No matter who it was, as long as they had a bit of humanity in them, it was impossible for them to remain indifferent.

But based on their understanding of the Liberty King, once he couldn’t get the girl, the most likely thing to do was to kidnap them in the city.

To achieve his goals, he would do anything.

The city was filled with gloom.

Those without daughters were still fine, but those with daughters had long been frowning, afraid of suffering misfortune and parting in life and death. Their daughters at home were crying constantly, terrified and helpless.

No one was willing to give their daughter away.

However, the dissatisfaction in the people’s hearts was about to reach its limit.

“I heard that during this period of time, some people in the city seem to have contacted each other, saying that they want to join forces to resist the Castellan’s atrocities and force the Castellan to give up the idea of bride selection. If it really came to this, there is no point in having such a Castellan. At most, I’ll risk my life to prevent my daughter from being sent to the fire pit.”

Many people had the same thought in their minds.

Clang clang clang…

When it was early in the morning, the crisp sound of a gong reverberated throughout the city.

A large number of people subconsciously moved closer to the city center.

In the city square, a thin but bright-eyed middle-aged man could be seen. He was dressed like a butler.

This man was the butler of the Castellan’s mansion. He was also a eunuch, and his name was Eunuch Chun. It was said that he used to be the supervisor of the Imperial Palace.

In Liberty City, he was also highly valued by the Liberty King.

Seeing a large number of people gathering, Eunuch Chun said in a sharp voice, “The time given by the Castellan is running out. Ladies and gentlemen, the Castellan’s brides will be selected soon. All the young maidens between the ages of sixteen and twenty, please step forward and be personally selected by me before being sent to the Castellan’s mansion. It’s your great fortune to be chosen.”

The butler spoke arrogantly as if it was a great fortune for them to be chosen and it was a happy event that could bring honor to their ancestors.

But Eunuch Chun repeated a few times, and no one sent their daughter up. They all remained silent and looked at Eunuch Chun coldly. Obviously, he was using silence to fight back.

“I have a list of girls of suitable age in my hands. I know who is suitable and who is not. I’ll give you two more hours. At that time, if you still don’t hand her over, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

No one was willing to let their daughters participate in the bride selection.

“Hmph, a bunch of ungrateful things. The Castellan is choosing female consorts. Do you think that you can just remain silent and not cooperate? I’m telling you, I must see a hundred beautiful women today. With one less, I won’t be able to answer my superiors, and none of you will have an easy time. When the time comes, don’t worry about me forcefully coming to your door and being impolite to you! I have a list of girls of suitable age in my hands. I know who is suitable and who is not. I’ll give you two more hours. At that time, if you still don’t hand her over, don’t blame me for being impolite.” Eunuch Chun’s expression was extremely ugly.

“Hmph, the Liberty King is a lecherous man. He’s already chosen hundreds of beautiful women, enough to fill even the Imperial Palace, and now he’s still doing a bride selection! This isn’t a selection of consorts, this is clearly asking us to push our daughters into the fire pit and send them to their deaths! We won’t agree to it!”

“The Castellan is clearly cultivating a demonic technique that absorbs Yin to supplement Yang. The previous consorts were used by the Castellan to absorb Yin to supplement Yang and used as human cauldrons to prevent his essence from being sucked dry. If you want to perform a bride selection, you must first bring out the previous consorts for us to see. Otherwise, they might be secretly killed by you guys.”

“That’s right. We want to see our daughters. Send our daughters out. Why can’t we see our daughters? ”

Some of the families who had sent their daughters into the Castellan’s mansion in the past shouted loudly, their emotions very agitated.

“Such a cruel and licentious Castellan, why should we let him be on top of us? Let’s get rid of the Liberty King and Liberty City together and return us a clear sky!”

“Get rid of the Liberty King and get out of Liberty City!”

“Kill!” a loud shout ignited the anger in the hearts of countless people.

It was the anger that hundreds of thousands of people in Liberty City had accumulated for more than a year.

A single spark could set a prairie on fire, not to mention this prairie fire.

This kind of forceful action of pushing their daughters into the fire pit was already challenging the bottom line of human nature. This kind of situation touched everyone’s nerves. Coupled with the fact that someone had triggered it, this kind of shouting became a tsunami on the spot, and many people were responding to it.

The entire Liberty City was turned into a volcano that could erupt at any moment.

The aura of madness continued to spread.

“My brothers and sisters, my fellow villagers.”

At this moment, a man suddenly appeared on a high platform. He waved his hand and shouted, “Everyone has parents, brothers and sisters, and children. This is the kinship of blood. If one could treat their daughters well, no one would refuse to send their daughter to the Castellan’s mansion. But now, the Castellan’s mansion is like a Devil’s cave. Young girls who enter it can only enter but not leave. And now, the Liberty King still wants to choose consorts. This kind of action is no different from killing one’s children. It was a heinous crime. Everyone, how can we tolerate such a crazy thing?”

This person’s expression was impassioned, and his words contained an indescribable appeal.

“I can’t stand it! I can’t take it!”

“If The Liberty King continues like this, we’ll endure it once or twice. This time, he wants our daughters, but next time, he may want our wives. One day, all the women in the city will be taken captive in the Castellan’s mansion!”

Thinking of the young girls who had disappeared silently from the Castellan’s mansion in the past year, many young people’s hearts were filled with hatred!

“If they don’t choose to enter the Castellan’s mansion, these girls may become other people’s wives and become our partners. There are already very few women, and if the Castellan chooses so many, do we still need to get married in the future? They want us to be single! No, you can’t, you can’t!”
