Outside the chapel, the crowd had gathered, and the sudden news shook everyone, and the nobles and soldiers were all shocked, and even those who had been vaguely aware of some of the truth in advance were stunned when they learned the details of the matter—

In order to eradicate the nobles who had opposed him, the king planted the blame on Gawain? Duke Cecil, in order to ensure his royal power and to prevent the Cecil family from returning to the center of power in the kingdom, single-handedly directed the sensational killing on the Raven Mesa.

This is not a rumor, but there is tangible evidence and witnesses - a secret letter that should have been destroyed has been searched, several chamberlains who are unwilling to be silent have also come forward to testify against the king's sin, and outside the chapel, the fat Earl of Baring angrily waved a letter in his hand: "This is a conspiracy!" The king deceived the Duke of Cecil with false news, so that the Duke mistakenly believed that the Raven Terrace had been overrun by monsters, and the king killed hundreds of nobles and their knights just because they had opposed him!! ”

The knights around the church were in a commotion, and the commotion gradually evolved into louder and louder shouts, and some of the nobles of the inner court who were in shock and fear soon joined in the wave of denunciation, only a few people in the crowd remained eerily silent, and a small number of nobles were full of confusion, as if they had lost their position all of a sudden, as if they suddenly couldn't understand what was wrong with the world.

More people were stirred up, and a sense of betrayal anger began to spread through the crowd.

"The king we are supporting turns out to be a tyrant?!"

"He can kill a hundred nobles who oppose him today, and he can kill us tomorrow!!"

"He himself was crowned with blood on his feet! We should have known from the beginning! ”

There were people in the crowd shouting hoarsely, at first only a small number of people, but somehow quickly infected almost the entire crowd, some shouting for the king to come out of the church, others feeling betrayed staring angrily at the door, and if it weren't for the last guard guarding the church door, these people might even rush into the church.

And then the door of the church was pushed open, Wales? Moen appeared before these people.

"The king is out!" "He's out......"

The crowd could not help but take a half step back in the commotion, but then they rushed forward again, and a noisy noise rang out in all directions, shouting for the king to explain the contents of the letter, and the Count of Bahrain stood at the front, waving the letter in his hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty! Could you please explain all this - why did you write to the Duke of Cecil that the Raven Mesa was overrun by monsters?! ”

The chubby earl's face flushed, as if every word he uttered was draining his strength.

Wales looked at the Earl of Bahrain silently for a few seconds, and only after the crowd around him had quieted down did he say clearly: "I just removed the moths from the kingdom." ”

This was a disguised admission, and the crowd was in an uproar.

And just as the uproar was almost at its peak, the crowd suddenly fell silent again.

A tall figure stepped out of the shadows of the church, and Gawain stepped out of the door and stood beside Wales with a blank face.

"Frankly speaking, since the day I walked out of the grave, I have met quite a few people in this era, some have tried to be my opponents, some have considered themselves my opponents, some have been my allies, and some have thought they are my allies," Gawain glanced at the king beside him, "but only you, who are neither rivals nor allies, are the first ones so far that have really shocked me, and even caught me off guard." ”

"Then this is my greatest honour," said Wales, smiling slightly, "and there is only one thing you have to do – condemn me." ”

No one could hear the whispered conversation between Gawain and Wales, but everyone could see that the two men were talking, and a nobleman in a royal blue coat shouted, "Duke Cecil, you have been deceived by this 'king'!" He wants to put you in unrighteousness! ”

Gawain glanced at the nobleman who was shouting loudly, and whispered to Wales, "This man is loyal to you. ”

Then before Wales could reply, he added: "It's a pity that the stage you have arranged is not quite in line with my style. ”

Wales finally showed a hint of surprise on his face, but before he could say anything, Gawain stepped forward and said to the gathered nobles and soldiers, "Don't doubt it, I know what's on the Raven Mesa. ”

There was silence in the square in front of the chapel, everyone forgot to say anything in shock, some couldn't help but take a breath after a while, while others subconsciously looked around—

The soldiers and chariots of Cecil's legion were gathered around the clearing, and the cold war machines were watching it all with indifference, unmisgiving, undisciplined.

"That letter is true, and so is my bombardment of Raven Mesa, but I have something for you to see before we discuss whether this matter is just or not."

Gawain said as he reached out to the side, and it was only then that people noticed that a short half-elf in black close-fitting leather armor was standing there at some point—this amazing concealment technique first surprised the transcendents present, and then they saw the half-elf hand Gawain a stack of paper with handwriting and patterns printed on it.

Gawain took the printout from Amber, flipped through it casually, and then read: "Count Urrel, a royal nobleman with a fief located in the western part of Saint-Sunil, plotted to defect on the 58th of last month, and at one time packed twelve carriages of belongings, including three carriages and several war horses that were supposed to be used as materials for the defense of the city...... Later, due to the abnormal transfer of the Royal Knights, he urgently canceled his escape.

"Viscount Hodicole, a nobleman of the inner court, also plotted to defect and transferred a large amount of property belonging to the royal family by bribing the guards...... Also because he was well informed, he urgently canceled his escape, and then actively allegiance to the new king to cover up the sins he had committed.

"Viscount Balg and his brother attempted to defect through the North Gate, killing an upright knight who was trying to report to the Silver Castle and disguised himself as a stumbling fall.

"This one is even more powerful, Countess Hopkina who tried to defect, I even have a magical photo of her hurrying to the north gate in a car-"

Gawain held up a page of paper that clearly showed an image of an aristocratic carriage with its insignia erased heading towards the city gates, showing a lanky woman poking her head out and nervously looking at the street, with the northern walls of Saint-Sunil in the background.

"I have a lot of information here, lots and lots of it."

Gawain's voice woke up many people in the square who had fallen into a stupor, and after waking up, almost everyone suddenly felt a complete chill spreading from the bottom of their hearts.

The Duke watched everyone—even if he was far away in the south, his sight had already covered the royal capital in the north.

These materials, these words and pictures, the perspective they present is unsettling, the details they possess are terrifying, and for a moment, the nobles in the square even have the illusion that they are living completely unobstructed under Cecil's nose, every guest at a banquet, every guard under the porch, every pedestrian passing by the roadside, every corner, every moment, there is a pair of eyes belonging to Cecil staring at them.

But Gawain himself knew that he was far from doing this, although after more than two years of operation, the Military Intelligence Bureau did set up many stations and agents in the city of San Sunil, but his "monitoring" of the royal capital was still quite limited, but the nobles who tried to defect were really unlucky, or only cared about the attention of Silver Castle, and ignored the sight of the civilians who could be seen everywhere on the side of the road and behind the windows of the street corners and alleys, and as a result, many of them were exposed.

On the other hand, the information in his hands is also half-truths - but who cares at such a time?

"When the country is in trouble, trying to defect, and taking away military supplies, destroying the layout of the city's defenses, and even murdering the soldiers defending the city, this is a serious act of treason," Gawain put down the information in his hand and said in a calm tone, "What happened on the Raven Terrace is just a law enforcement. ”

This is Gawain's style - he was the one who ordered the bombardment of the Raven Terrace, there was nothing to admit, he was going to eradicate the nobles, and there was nothing unacceptable either, just as he had done in the South, and he was neither detouring nor pretending in matters concerning the traditional aristocracy.

After all, what existed between the order he promoted and the old aristocratic order was not a "deviation", but a-for-tat confrontation, and since it was destined to be incompatible from the beginning, it was better to be more direct.

After all, he does not need to "leave a way out" for himself in the group of the old aristocracy, but should be careful that if he cooperates with this scam today, this hypocrisy will one day become a stain in the eyes of the people in the future.

"I'm done," he said indifferently, "who's going to speak?" ”

There was silence in the church square, but this silence was not only caused by nervousness and fear, but also a contradictory and tangled mentality that plagued everyone, except for those soldiers and low-ranking knights whose positions might be relatively simple, and the nobles present with a slight title were aware of the difficulty of this problem:

There is no doubt that the traitors are extremely hateful, and the main battle factions standing here at this moment are basically those who have really defended the royal capital and despise those fugitives, and after seeing the evidence, they certainly feel a certain degree of approval of what happened on the Crow Terrace.

But Gawain? Cecil's methods disturbed them again, and the sound of the cannon made everyone deeply jealous.

The king did remove the "moth" of the kingdom, but it is undeniable that the king did use this method to eradicate dissidents, regardless of whether the Duke of Cecil knew the truth about the crow mesa or not, the king's letter was true and the motive was also true......

The huge sense of contradiction and almost absurd division made everyone not know what to say for a while, as if none of them should be supported, but they had to support one ......

The unbearable silence lasted for several minutes before it was suddenly broken.

The people gathered in front of the chapel suddenly dispersed from both sides, wearing a duke's coat and an elegant temperament. Duke Franklin stepped forward.

The duke was holding in his hand something that seemed inexplicable to others - it was a metal plate made of Mithril.

After seeing the metal plate, Gawain did not have the slightest surprise on his face, he just glanced at Victoria next to him slightly, and in the complicated gaze of the Duchess of the North, he saw a trace of solemnity, and then the solemnity turned into relief.

Bodewen? Franklin came to Gawain and Wales with a Mithril plate, and after exchanging a deep look with Wales, he turned and looked at the crowd in the square:

"In any case, the king's act of eradicating dissidents by the hand of the Duke of Cecil is unequivocal, and his motives contain great selfishness and a terrible abuse of power, which proves one thing beyond doubt: Wales? Moen is no longer fit to continue to be our king, and he should step down and abdicate in favor of Xian.

"The Duke of Cecil's bombardment of the Raven Terrace is a thunderous means to eradicate the traitors, and he is far from the center of power in the royal capital, and has no motive to eradicate those who disagree with the government, and this decision, although it is suspected of being too cold, is a normal decision in a state of national crisis—this is my judgment."

Behind Gawain, Amber, whose figure was hidden from everyone's sight, muttered softly, "It's ridiculous......"

Gawain replied softly: "That's right, it's ridiculous." ”

There are too many points to argue in Bertwin's words, as if they deliberately magnify the fault of one side and deliberately ignore the terrible behavior of the other side.

But the most ridiculous thing is that after Bai Dewen's words fell, no one in the square retorted.

There was a brief silence between the people, then they exchanged glances with each other, and in some wordless tacit understanding, they nodded one by one.

Bai Dewen turned around and looked Wales in the eye: "Your Majesty, do you have any opinion on this conclusion?" ”

Wales smiled relaxedly, and things were finally back in the direction he had planned.

"I have no opinion."

"Excuse your throne, then, Your Majesty."
