Volume 3: The Shadows Chapter 84 Reversing Black and White
Early in the morning, in front of the Imperial City.
The wide square paved with gray-and-white stone bricks is crowded with people.
Countless civilians were talking and squeezing towards the front of the high platform.
What happened yesterday has left these ordinary residents at a loss, and they are very worried about whether their lives will be affected, whether they will be implicated.
But now, the news that the second prince Zachary is about to inherit the throne has made them breathe a sigh of relief.
They don't care who the emperor is, as long as they can carry everything on and let them continue to live a stable life.
Nexus and Bertha mingled with the crowd as well.
Amid the noise, a group of soldiers carried their belongings onto the high platform, and then set up execution racks on top of it.
Execution rack?
The civilians were stunned, then a little uneasy.
Who is the execution frame to be executed?
Nexus frowned as well.
"What kind of tricks is the second prince doing?"
At this time, in the dense array of soldiers, Zachary climbed the high platform step by step.
He pressed his hands to motion, signaling for everyone to be quiet.
His expression was extremely serious, and his voice was low and deep:
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Sirius Empire, I am Zachary, the second prince of the Sirius Empire.
Here, I must tell you a sad piece of news, which many people must already know.
Yesterday, His Majesty Upton Gafferi, the Great Emperor of the Sky Wolf Empire, and His Royal Highness Sean, the Great Prince, died as a result of the assassination of the traitors. ”
Zachary's face was filled with pain and anger.
"They have launched a shameful rebellion for the sake of power, ignoring the stability and order of the Empire, they are the sinners of the Empire!
Infected by Zachary, the citizens were also outraged.
"I see. ”
"Damn traitor!"
"Kill them!"
Zachary's expression became cold at this time, and with a wave of his hand, a group of obsidian knights pressed many people up to the high platform.
They were all dressed in gorgeous costumes, and they were obviously extraordinary, ranging from lean middle-aged hot people to gray-haired old men.
But whether they were once rich businessmen, powerful families, or powerful magicians, they were now wearing layers of restraints on their bodies, and with blank or angry or frightened expressions on their faces, they were escorted to the high platform as prisoners.
"These are the unforgivable criminals who started the rebellion yesterday and killed the king. Zachary said coldly:
"They will be judged justly before all!"
Seeing the once glamorous adults on the stage being escorted up, everyone was puzzled at first, and then turned into anger.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
In the crowd, unlike the blinded people, Bertha, who knew the truth from the mouth of the mouth, trembled with anger.
"Shameless!"
It seemed that a civilian next to her heard her whispered scolding, and looked at her with puzzled and unkind eyes.
Nexus hurriedly grabbed Bertha and said, "Be careful!"
Bertha obviously knew that she had said the wrong thing, and to say such things on such an occasion might expose them.
She whispered, "I'm sorry. ”
Nexus didn't speak, just looked at Zachary on the stage with a grim look.
The cruelty and ruthlessness of the other party still surprised him, and it only took him one night to uproot almost all of the people who opposed him.
Among them, there are many great nobles who are deeply rooted in Arthur City, but they are now reduced to prisoners.
Some of them were crazy, some were cursing angrily.
But in the end, they were put on the execution rack prepared for them.
The Obsidian Knights raised their greatswords, their faces reflected in the cold sword faces.
"Execution!"
Zachary handed down the final judgment.
The greatsword fell, and the blood stained the high platform, no matter how illustrious it was in life, it was nothing more than a cold corpse after death.
The citizens became even more agitated.
"People, the enemy has paid for their sins with the blood of death.
"Today, as the only member of the royal family, despite the trepidation in my heart, I have accepted the inheritance of the power of the gods, and I can only assume the responsibility of being a member of the royal family.
"I will be officially crowned today and become the new emperor of the Sky Wolf Empire!
With a solemn expression, Zachry pulled out the sword in his scabbard and pointed it at the sky.
"All for the Empire!"
All the Obsidian Knights are on one knee.
"See Your Majesty!"
All the people also knelt down and shouted:
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
Nexus pulled Bertha to kneel on one knee, but unlike the other people's fanaticism, his eyes were full of coldness.
Amid the cheers and praises of the crowd, Zachary wore a crown of strength and power.
He opened his arms and looked at the people who belonged to him in the audience, feeling the surging power in his body, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of arc.
