Chapter 194: The Dark Age

The imperial capital is still prosperous. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Despite the turmoil within the Empire, this ancient city has maintained its splendor despite its appearance. It's just that there is a slight panic on the faces of passers-by.

It was on this day that a group of dozens of people came here on horseback.

"You go and arrange a place to live first, and I'll go around alone." Harita said a word to the back, and before they could speak, he rode away alone.

On the street, Iyeas and the others looked at each other, and finally reluctantly contacted Xincheng's people in the imperial capital.

And Harita alone, riding a horse, wandered around the streets of the imperial capital.

Imperial Capital, a sprawling city with a population of hundreds of thousands.

In an era of such low productivity, this is an incredible number. Housing, food, public security, and even the living environment are all difficult problems to solve.

However, thanks to a certain emperor who had heard about it for a long time, the environment of the imperial capital was not so bad that it could not be inhabited.

At the same time, every year, thousands of 'gold diggers' and dreamers from the empire's respective empires come to the city to rise or become victims of lowly status.

However, the current imperial capital is in a state of panic.

Once, during the active season of [Night Raid], although a big nobleman and merchant would be killed every day, these news often brought a hint of encouragement to these aquatic and fiery public.

In this day and age, death is common.

Not to mention those who live outside the city, an attack by any dangerous species could make a small village disappear. And those who live in the cities also have to endure high taxes, humiliation and oppression from the nobility and from the unscrupulous.

So, to some extent, the Night Raid, which is defined by the Empire as the 'most hateful and dangerous enemy', is the object of secret admiration and gratitude of many civilians.

However, everything has changed since the establishment of [Hunter].

In order to complete the minister's task, the youngest and most S general of the empire, Estes, led her group of men to search for [Night Raid] everywhere, and the latter reluctantly chose to back down after learning of Estes's almost irresistible strength.

As a result, the Night Raid was once silent.

Of course, fortunately, for now, [Hunter] has not issued a single death notice regarding the members of the Night Raid - which is indeed good news for some who care about them.

However, for the people of the imperial capital, this can be said to be too bad to be worse.

Without the night raids and assassinations every day, those who did bad things sprung up like mushrooms after a rain - many people thought that the night raids might have left the imperial capital.

These are nothing, after all, ordinary people are like weeds in the grass, cut one year and grow again next year. Human patience is beyond imagination.

However, everything started to go bad with the establishment of Wild Hound.

[Wild Hound] is a 'secret police force' established by the minister's son Shira, in fact, only to serve the former alone. And Sheila, as the son of the minister, although the father and son are not very pleasing to the eye, but he can be said to have inherited the sins of the minister perfectly.

In terms of personality, cruelty is not inferior to that of his father, extremely cruel and lustful, ** countless abuses of women.

Overall, this is a foot of hellish scum!

At this moment, the people of the imperial capital immediately fell into disarray.

The Wild Hound searched everywhere for something that would satisfy Sheila's desires, and even killed innocent civilians in the streets. Someone went to complain to the imperial capital garrison, but they were charged with collaborating with the enemy, and then they were brutally executed!

It was not that there were no righteous people who jumped out to oppose it, but the minister, although he did not have a good relationship with his son, was a complete murderer.

He followed the usual methods, set up all kinds of crimes, and then killed all these people in the name of sinners.

And the reason is not that those people think about the love of the son, the minister, but just hate others against him.

In this way, Sheila is even more unscrupulous.

The garrison didn't dare to take care of it, and the only [Night Raid] that could 'deliver justice' was nowhere to be found, and the civilians of the imperial capital almost scolded Estes, [Hunter], Sheila and his [Wild Hound] half to death.

The rebels of the empire became the representatives of justice, while the regular police force became evil in the eyes of the people.

This has to be said to be a thing full of irony!

However, it's a pity that scolding the mother can't solve the matter, and the outcome of the matter still depends on whose fist is bigger, so the imperial capital became panicked, and no one knew if he would be pulled away by the street in the next second, and then die somewhere.

…….

Walking down the street, looking at the hurried and panicked footsteps of those people, Harita sighed slightly.

To the point where the rulers have reached, the above group of guys is indeed no longer something that can be described by the simple word 'stupid' - the people are ignorant, so they can play with their emotions at will, but as a ruler, such an approach is tantamount to digging their own graves.

It's also strange to say, from Harita's point of view, in the history of the ancient kingdom with a history of 5,000 years in the previous life, it seems that there has never been a dynasty that would judge the people with a 'righteous representative'.

They mostly look at such things from the point of view of morality, from heaven, from the perspective of the people.

And the empire is different.

They think they want justice.

Your sister's justice!

Who decreed that you are righteous?

Brain circuits are made of paste, right?

After just a few streets, Haruta lost interest.

He turned his horse and headed toward the agreed place.

………

It's night, somewhere in the Empire.

Harita sat at the top, and at the bottom sat nine people with different looks, among which Iyeas and Shayu were impressively listed.

Similarly, after seeing the darkness of the imperial capital, almost all of them did not look very good-except for Iyeas and Sayo, who had seen the deeper darkness firsthand, but the corners of their faces were only a little blue.

Sitting at the top, looking at the stable performance of the group of people under him, Harita nodded.

My own training really worked.

It doesn't matter if your strength is not strong enough, just practice slowly.

But the mentality is different, if they have a blood in their hearts and shout to rush out to give Sheila a good look, without the empire to encircle them, Harita will know this group of fools with his own hands.

That's the behavior of children fighting, right?

Rushing out with a hot blood is definitely a sign of taking the lives of yourself and your companions as a joke!

In the original work, [Night Raid] has been attrition several times, and many of them have such reasons.

The reason why Red Hitomi was able to survive is not that she is the strongest, but that she is the calmest.

She is able to calmly analyze the situation of the battle, and even if one of her comrades dies, she will continue to complete her mission until the end.

Tapping the table a few times, Harita spoke.

"Everyone should know the situation! The target of our operation this time is [Hunter] and [Wild Hound]! ”

"Given that [Hunter] is still facing off against [Night Raid] in Anning Road, we need to deal with [Wild Hound] first! Be sure to wipe out all of these disgusting creatures before the [Hunter] returns! ”

"Do you hear me? I want them, not a single one! ”

"Take out your strength and let this group of guys who don't know what it means to be truly powerful!" Harita's words became harsh.

"Yes!" The nine had serious faces.
