Chapter 63: The Execution Ground
"What's going on, when did Alfred and Alexander get together?" Regner looked a little surprised as he watched the Imperial Prince and the Prime Minister together.
"When did they come together? They were originally on one front. Nidhogg sneered: "Do you really think there is a fair competition for the throne? No! Never at all! Ralvin has already determined the identity of Alexander's heir to the throne! The only person who knows about this is Alfred, the old fox who is loyal to the Empire. Alfred seems to support Joffrey, but in fact he is just acting. It was only to put the necessary pressure on Alexander's growth and to balance the power of the imperial government. But in fact, Alexander had already seen the rules of the game that his father had set for him, so he had a close relationship with Alfred a few years ago! As the chief of military intelligence, you didn't even investigate these things, and only to this extent did you dare to participate in the power game, I really can't think of any other adjective than stupid. ”
"So I was wrong from the beginning?" Regner murmured, he finally understood that fate is actually one choice after another, and your current choices will affect your future path. But sometimes, once you choose the wrong option, then everything will inevitably go in the wrong direction, and there is no room for recovery.
"Kneel!" The guards escorting Regner pushed Regner to the high platform in the plaza and kicked Regner in the knee socket in an attempt to get Regner to his knees.
Regner turned his head and glared at them, whether he was ruined or ruined, or full of evil, but he Regner at least had a clear conscience, and even now, would he still be trampled on by these ants and insulted? Although Regner's strength was completely lost at this time, the fierce momentum he had cultivated from his long-term position in the top position did not subside, and he was glared at by Regner, and the guards who had never fought on the front line on the grounds of "defending Melindel, the last heart of the empire", were taken aback. They took a step back with some cringe, not daring to be rude to Regner for a moment.
"I'm sorry, but I hope you'll work with me in the last scene. Seeing the scene on the execution table, Alexander let out a helpless and guilty sigh, and he took the key to control the lock from his bosom, and then pressed the button on the top.
So a golden light shot at Regner again, and like last time, after the golden light dissipated, Regner had an extra light energy shackle around his neck, and under the pull of the shackles, he was forced to kneel on the ground.
"Yay!!"
"Praise the !! of the Light"
"Praise to His Highness Alexander !!"
"Long live the Empire!!"
"Humanity will never succumb to the !! of darkness"
"Let the dark elegy go to hell!!"
Seeing Regner kneeling down, the onlookers let out a deafening cheer, and while spitting in the direction of Regner, they threw the long-prepared stones, rotten eggs and other things at Regner, if it wasn't for the desperate resistance of the guards, I'm afraid that Regner would have been eaten alive by the angry civilians before it was his turn to be executed. Whether it was the Civil War or the wave of deaths, it brought too much suffering and too much pressure to the civilians. And now, they've finally found an outlet for their emotions – and that's Regner.
The shouting, invective, and throwing lasted for ten minutes. Alexander did not stop the civilians from acting, because he knew that the people needed an outlet now, so let Regner be grieved again......
Ten minutes later, the anger finally subsided, and on this occasion, Alexander raised his hand and signaled to everyone present to be quiet. At this time, Regner had been smashed all over his body by various things, and even his consciousness was blurred again.
"It's embarrassing. Nidhogg let out a merciless sneer in Regner's heart.
In the stands, a vague shadow appeared next to Alexander.
"How's it going?" Alexander asked softly to the shadow behind him.
"Miss Lishana is still throwing a tantrum, but the prohibition laid down by the Court Mage Association and the Public Prosecutor's Office is very strong, and she will not be able to leave the palace in a short time. The shadow replied.
"Very good, Soul Destroyer, let your subordinates take a good look at her, don't let her make any more trouble, after today, as long as Regner dies, I will explain to her personally when I go back." Alexander nodded.
"Yes. ”
"Then Your Highness, let's get started!" suggested Alfred on the other side.
"......" Alexander stared at the embarrassed Regner in the stands for a while, and finally took a deep breath: "Let's start!"
"All loyal and brave people, I am Alexander Hawke, the second prince of the Empire. Alexander walked to the front of the stands in the square, and although he did not use any amplification equipment, the words of the second prince still reached everyone's ears clearly: "I am glad that everyone is here at Melindale Square today, today is a day full of glory and hope." For I would like to declare that from this day onwards, the Civil War between the two empires is completely over. And the tide of death that has made us suffer and fear for the past six months has also been resolved by us. Although there are still many walking corpses entrenched in the south, I think I can still declare that the continent of Chino has been unified by us!"
"Hooray!!
"Long live the Empire!!"
"Long live His Royal Highness Alexander!!"
The cheers rang out one after another, yes, peace, the long-lost peace had finally come to the continent of Chino once again. Not only that, but more importantly, the Hawke Empire will usher in a new life. Because, they have accomplished an unprecedented feat in thousands of years - to destroy the ancient Stoke Empire and unify the entire continent of Chino!
The cheers of the civilians continued for a long time, and only after they had all quieted down did Alexander continue: "Likewise, today is a day of deep sorrow and sorrow. Although those of us survived the devastation of the Civil War and the tide of death, many of our loved ones, friends, and loved ones left us. I can relate to that. For my beloved father, the great Elder Ralvin the Great, and my dearest brother, Prince Joffrey, the brilliant genius of magic, lost their lives in this catastrophe. This is the death of the Empire, this is the death of humanity. Now, I hope that all of you here will join me in a five-minute silence, and let us pay tribute to all the heroes who sacrificed their lives to defend our homeland and human dignity. Let us always remember them! Heroes are immortal!"
There was no sound in the square except for the echo of Alexander's last sentence, and everyone present closed their eyes and prayed earnestly for the heroes who had died in the war. They all understand that it is because of their selflessness and bravery that the empire can usher in the sunshine and glory of today, and the living can continue to enjoy peace and happiness.
"Ahem......" Just as the silence was about to end, a discordant coughing sound rang out.
Regner was hit in the back of the head by a small stone on the execution table, and he had been lying on the table like a dead man for a long time, and now he finally recovered. He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, then crawled up on his trembling arms. Regner adjusted his position so that he could barely bend over and sit on the ground with his head down.
Even with his head down, Regner's eyes kept trying to roll upwards to see Alexander, the paladin who he once thought was upright, kind and bright.
"Alexander......" Regner stared into the eyes of the second prince, in those eyes, Regner still saw apologies, but did not regret the slightest. Regner raised his voice and roared violently: "Alexander!!!"
