Just as I was about to ask the next question, the Ivy City Lord suddenly said, "Although it is rude, I still hope that you can tell me why you ask such a question." ”

I squinted at him: "As a city lord, is it really good to be so curious?" ”

"I have never considered myself a qualified city lord, but I have always tried my best to be a good city lord" The Ivy City Lord said sincerely: "I just heard the elder's question, I don't know what it was, and I suddenly felt a sense of worry, so I dare to beg the elder to inform my subordinates of the intention of your question, no matter what." ”

"Hey, it's also a very troublesome thing to meet a subordinate like you," I sighed, and said, "Forget it, it doesn't hurt to tell you, the reason why I asked you that question is to confirm whether the residents of this town still need to stay." ”

"You say...... ...... who stayed Necessary? ”

Looking at his expression, obviously, he was stunned, and even subconsciously said this sentence, unable to speak for a long time.

"No, Elder, please don't give up the inhabitants here," he said earnestly and earnestly: "Although only half of the residents were forced to join the rebels, a considerable number of the residents who took the initiative to join the rebels were brainwashed by the nobles by various despicable means, but in fact, in their bones, they were always loyal to the two empresses!" ”

"Facts."

"Huh?" He looked dazed.

"I say, I want to see the facts, I want to get evidence, I want them to prove that they are indeed loyal to the two empresses, if it is only your side, but there is no conclusive evidence, the people I bring will choose to destroy all the rebels, whether they join voluntarily or forcedly, they will be punished the same."

"Elder, you are too arbitrary and cruel to do this, right?"

The Ivy City Lord said angrily.

Looking at his angry expression, I said indifferently: "I can tolerate a person who jumps and scolds the two empresses, as long as he can give me a precise reason, I can also forgive a person who spits on me, as long as he can say where I make him dissatisfied, he spit on me, but I will never tolerate betrayal, especially the two empresses who are in power are still tolerant and wise, for such people, I will not listen to any reason from them, I will only give them two endings, either death or punishment." ”

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, I continued: "However, whether to die or be punished, it is not for me to decide, but for the rebels themselves. ”

The Ivy City Lord's lips twitched, and he kept changing his sitting position, as if there was a nail under his ass pointing upwards.

After fidgeting for a while, he said, "Elder, can you say this decision in the city, in front of those traitors?" ”

Then, he added, "I'll personally bring someone to keep you safe." ”

"Yes," I said, "If you think it's necessary, even if it's just standing on the top of the City Lord's Mansion, I can satisfy you, but I have to tell you that time is running out." ”

"What time?" The city lord said uneasily.

"There are still a little more than two hours, and as long as my men see that I have not returned, or that anything has happened in the city, they will immediately rush back to Violet City, lead a heavy army, and slaughter the city."

"What!" He was shocked again, and after a few seconds, he hurriedly stood up, grabbed me, and said, "Elder, please get out of the city quickly and withdraw this military order." ”

"How can the military order be withdrawn when it is said to be withdrawn," I said coldly: "Until the purpose is accomplished, the military order will continue to be carried out until all the orders I have given are completely executed." ”

"You, you're ......," he pointed at me, speechless for a long time.

I smiled: "Cruel, or unkind? You're right, I'm not only cruel, but I'm also impersonal a lot of the time, and as I said, I can tolerate some justified anger, but I will never tolerate the slightest betrayal. ”

He didn't say much, but quickly gathered his men and escorted me to the adventurer's base.

At this moment, that position is already full of people, lined up on both sides.

On one side, there are the residents and adventurers who are sworn to defend the city lord, and on the other side, there are the rebels and rebels who want to destroy the city lord's mansion.

The two waves of people seem to be still in a state of debate, and they have not yet escalated to the use of force.

"Please be quiet, please be quiet," the city lord said loudly under the layers of guards.

In an instant, the venue fell silent, and I have to say that whether it is our subjects or enemy traitors, the quality is very high.

I slowly walked up to the high platform and said, "Hello everyone, I am the new elder of Moonlight City, and my name is An Xiaoyi. ”

The crowd was in an uproar, especially on the rebel side, and I even saw several elves pointing their crossbow arrows and magic wands at me.

Ignoring it completely, I continued: "I have come here to give you a final persuasion, which can be regarded as my last mercy. ”

"Kindness doesn't need anything!" A rebel elf shouted.

"Yes, we don't want to be merciful, we want to be independent, we want to be free!" A rebel elf chimed in.

"The last mercy? How is it different from a threat? A rebel elf questioned.

Waving my hand, the rebel side soon fell silent, and I continued: "I have heard all your questions, yes, the so-called last mercy can be regarded as the initial threat, I just want to threaten you, break away from the rebels, and return to us, I will not hold you accountable. ”

"You're trying to convince people to give up their freedom and independence so that we can get rid of all of us, aren't you?" One of the rebels shouted.

"If you understand it this way, it is not wrong, I will forgive those who return, but I will never forgive those who are obsessed, here, I can say that any people who take the initiative to surrender within the time I have set will not be responsible for the past except for the first evil of this rebellion."

On the rebel side, there was turmoil in an instant, and some elders said that those who were forced to join the rebels were willing to kill the rebel camp in vain.

Not long after the turmoil, there was another person in the rebel camp: "Don't care what the foreigner says, what we are pursuing is freedom, independence, lofty ideals and beliefs, everyone can rest assured, as long as we are united, we will definitely win, and besides, he will never dare to kill so many of us!" ”

I smiled coldly, waved my hand, and after everyone was quiet again, I said: "You must have seen my previous methods against human traffickers, they are all Terrans, according to your words, they are my compatriots, according to your ideas, compatriots should not kill each other, right, but I still did it, and tortured them to death in the most cruel way, I want to say, I can still do this with my so-called compatriots, let alone you who have committed the crime of rebellion?" ”
