Chapter 294: The Collapse of the Empire (XXXI) The Death of the Minor Nobleman Lul Loser

"Is the mastermind of this coup d'état my former best friend, Your Excellency An Lu?" In prison, Lul VIII asked André with an indifferent expression, and his eyes were already dead gray at this time.

It was the first month after the coup d'état, and I and a few other colleagues accompanied the new governor Andrei, no, now called Andrei III, to the prison to get an insight into the dead dog.

Hearing the inquiry, Andre III smiled and said, "Elder An Lu expressed his expectation and support for my actions, but unfortunately he did not see the success of the coup, and he was already called by God three days before the coup because of old age and infirmity. ”

"It's dead, it's one less," I clearly saw a little more depression in Luhr VIII's pupils, "and now His Excellency Andrei, who is the Archon...... How many lifetimes have you come to see me, a loser, have you made a decision on what to do with me?"

Hearing the pitiful tone of Luhr VIII's voice, and remembering that this man had once been the most glorious consul of Bourbon, my heart could only sigh infinitely.

"Yes, I have made a resolution, and I will not change it, that is, to put you to death as a punishment for you mediocre man!"

By this time, Lul VIII's deadly gray pupils finally swelled up, and his voice trembled a little, not with fear of death, but with other emotions.

"Archon, do you know what you're talking about? I, Lull, have made Bourbon like this, and it's really not a pity to die, but you shouldn't have you execute me by executive order! There is a saying in the divine realm that the initiator has no aftermath! Archon, you're doing a very bad thing!"

André III was unmoved: "As long as you live, it is a clear label, which means that even if the consul does something wrong, he can still go home happily, and I must borrow your head to make a military order so that the people of Bourbon can see my determination." ”

Seeing Andrei III's resolute words, and his determination to succeed if he didn't succeed, made my feet, which had once been evaluated as weak by my mentor, tremble again. I definitely can't do it if I change my way out of retreat, so is this why Lord Andrei became the Archon, and I am still just his pawn?

"You're walking a tightrope, and at any moment you could fall into the abyss and rip the Bourbon deeper underground. ”

"But if Bourbon continues to be ruled by you, it will be a bottomless darkness! something must change!" said the last words of the meeting, and then André III left the prison.

Two days later, the guards brought Lul VIII to Mitz Square to have him publicly executed in front of all the inhabitants of Boris.

In this execution, I was tasked with the sin of belonging to Lul VIII of the inhabitants of Boris. Because of his self-confidence and the fact that Lul VIII was disgusted by everyone, Andre III allowed Lul VIII to complain about his guilt before he was executed, so Lul VIII was not gagged at the time of execution.

In the afternoon sun, with the crowds and the noise, I stood on a makeshift platform in the Place de la Meate, with the executioners on either side and Lul VIII sitting in the middle.

Looking at the crowd that was looking at me and at Luhr VIII with hatred, I brewed my feelings and began to make my own accusations against my namesake man, Lul VIII.

"The one sitting here about to be executed is the former 114th consul of Bourbon, Luhr VIII, who has reigned for 27 years and has made a mess of Bourbon. So a month ago, we, unable to stand the tyranny of Lul VIII, elected Commander Andrei (actually a deputy commander) with outstanding ability and noble family background, and overthrew this incompetent ruler!"

"And today, we are going to execute this incompetent ruler to avenge the misfortune that Bourbon has suffered all these years, and for the suffering who died because of Luhr VIII!

Although Luhr VIII had seemed so distraught when he had met with André III before, before he was executed, he suddenly struggled again, as if he could wash away a little bit of his deeds by saying more, and at least let himself walk peacefully, though those who were on the high platform could hear him now.

"The situation in Bourbon is like this, I admit that I am not qualified, but it is not all because of me that Bourbon has become so bad. ”

"Then the first tax increase order, the second tax increase order, the third tax increase order, the four tax increase order, and the five tax increase order were not issued by you?

"Where does the tax ...... come from without raising taxes?"

I ignored Luhr VIII's feeble arguments, and continued to recount according to the plan planned in advance: "Luhr VIII has no other means to govern the country except to raise taxes, and what is even more tragic is that even after the tax increases, Bourbon is still losing land, and the title of Lul VIII should not be called a beautiful man, but a mourner!"

At this time, there was finally panic in the eyes of Lul VIII, because if the title was changed and changed to the title of the Lost Person, his reputation would really be lost for thousands of years.

"Let's see what land Bourbon lost at the hands of Loul VIII the Lost Soil!"

"The two main cities of Dolomis and Babutis were ceded to Pokon in 1414 because of the Dolomi Confession!"

"Hey, hey, hey, forget about the rest, "Dolomi's Confession" was signed by my predecessor, and I hadn't taken office at that time, so why should I count the loss of these two main cities on my head!"

Isn't it a lot of time to make a speech, don't you just have to reverse black and white, and transfer flowers and trees? So Dolomi's pot, you better take it honestly, anyway, you have enough pots, not bad this one—besides, no one can hear what you say now.

"The three main cities of West Isaacs, Isaacs, and Mata are already five main cities, and because they could not put down the rebellion of Sefleaf, they led wolves into their houses, and since 1424 they ceased to be the land of the Bourbon Religious District!

"Why do you want to lose it now! The war with Misica is not over yet! I have been working hard to recover these three main cities, and I was still at war with Pushica before the coup!"

Of course, the cries of Lure VIII were ignored by me.

"The 8 main cities of Compolis, Chris, Lacompo, Lapos, Buttis, Lalicas, Pease, and Cairns have 13 main cities, and because of the failure of Luhr VIII to suppress the Southern Passage, it ceased to be the domain of Bourbon after 1425!"

Whenever I pronounced the name of the main city familiar to the Bourbons, there was a gasp in the square, and the anger that followed, and I impatiently pronounced the name of each main city, and the inhabitants did not have any impatience, but became more angry as the names of the main city increased.

"The 10 main cities of Sith, Ollie, Hete, Adassie, Russell, Izri, Nina, Polo, Cyrus, and Baffins, these are already 23 main cities, and they were handed over to the thieves of the Bourbon Diaspora in 1430 because of the signing of the Treaty of Armada!"

"But they are still nominally Bourbon territory...... And before your coup d'état, wasn't I about to throw my army into the battle for the Diaspora Alliance......" murmured Lul VIII in despair.

At this time, the atmosphere in the square was very intense, and every time I said the name of the main city, there would be residents who would roar "kill him", and as the name of the main city increased, the call for "kill him" in the square became louder and more neat.

"Edonan, a client state that was taught and nurtured by the Bourbons themselves, officially dissolved relations with Bourbon in 1440, and is no longer a bourbon client state, but a normal state!"

"If it is not lifted, it will be even worse, and Edonan will start a war to seek independence. ”

Lul VIII's words were reasonable, and even I didn't have a better solution at the time, but isn't Lul VIII's crimes now being counted?

"The 16 main cities of Kanun, Lorne, Uttana, Ogras, Elm, La Manca, Genni, Likufu, Katara, Kataragul, Dakhla, Genila, Lagwenjiu, Kadoman, Huda, and Michael, a total of 39 main cities, have been recognized as independent by Lul VIII a few months ago!"

"I can't fight anymore, I really can't fight anymore...... The Northern Passage, the Middle-earth Colonial Guard, and the Middle-earth Forest Colony are really uncatchable," said Lul VIII in despair.

"In addition to these main cities, there are also Kangbo in the northern district, as well as the Dumo Liao Middle Transit Road, all because of the incompetent rule of Luer VIII, and in the hands of Pokang or the south, there are 2 more, a total of 41 main cities!"

"Think about it, even if Bourbon was in his heyday, how many main cities were lost, and how many of them were lost in just 27 years under the reign of Luhr VIII?

"Hey, hey, hey, Dumoliao is only on loan to Boris, I haven't ceded him yet!" Hearing me turn black and white upside down again, Lul VIII struggled to cried out, and of course I ignored it again—just a city, as for that care? Anyway, you are already black, and you can't be any more black.

At this time, the crowd on the field was already excited, and the wave of calls for "kill him" almost drowned out the sound I had amplified.

Seeing that my emotions had been stirred up by me, I relented and ordered the executioner: "When the time comes, send Lul VIII to the River Styx." ”

"I don't have so much land to lose, don't change my title to Lost Ground. "These were the last words of King Lure VIII before his death, but unfortunately they were destined to be invalid, because the title of Mourner was not invented by me, but was defined by Andre III.

So Lul VIII had to die with the shameful title of the Lost Person.

Looking at the executed Luhr VIII, I knew in my heart that an era was over, but would the new era that was coming be a better era, or would it push Bourbon into an even more terrible abyss?
