The Imperial Capital of the Land of Frost.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The former imperial capital of Morinko is lit up at night, and the streets are filled with merchants and tourists, as well as dancers from various taverns, and the whole city exudes a sense of extravagance.

Today, however, it is also brightly lit, but the original spar light from the street shop has become a 'torch' inscribed with light in the hands of the city guards.

Pedestrians walking the streets also hid in their houses tonight, not daring to go out into the streets.

The entire street has long been occupied by heavily armed city guards in armor.

Baron Gologan was a member of the City Guard, and his noble birth made him a commander of the City Guard.

"This is the first martial law in the imperial city in more than a decade."

Baron Gologan rode his horse through the streets of Morinco, lined with city guards armed with 'torches'.

"After all, Prince Shail not only betrayed our homeland and turned to the devil, but even tried to assassinate His Majesty the King, and these crimes were enough to send him to the guillotine." Said one of the lieutenants next to Baron Gologan.

Baron Gologan listened to the adjutant's angry tone, and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he could only swallow it back.

He had known all about it a long time ago, and it was a secret that cost him his life!

That is, the king is very likely to be disguised by those inquisitors of the Holy Religion Country!

So Baron Gologan also knew very well that what Prince Sheil did was not 'betrayal', but to save the country.

The first premise is that no one will believe his nonsense, and the second is that the imperial capital of this country has long been controlled by the Inquisitor.

"Lord Baron!"

The presence of three civilians suddenly stepped out of the street, interrupting Baron Gologan's thoughts.

"Are those preachers telling the truth? His Highness Shayl turned out to be a demon's minion? ”

One of the commoners, a woman who risked being trampled by a horse, came to Baron Gologan, who seemed to be a loyal supporter of His Highness Shayle.

Many people in the Land of Frost are proud of this young prince, not only for his personal charisma, but also for his superhuman talent and legendary experience recognized by the Spirit of Frost.

Baron Gologan used to admire the young prince as well, but... He was so reckless!

The baron looked at the commoner's pleading eyes, gritting his teeth to tell the truth.

"Prince Shail has taken refuge in the Demon Clan, he is very dangerous!"

When Baron Gologan had finished saying this, he felt as if he had exhausted all his strength, and his heart became very heavy when he looked at the commoner woman's gaze that had darkened as if to say, 'How is it possible'.

What a humiliation...

Baron Gologan clung to the reins of his horse, unable to confirm that the Inquisitors were spying on him.

If he divulged these secrets, Baron Gologan himself would not have lived long, and even his family would have been implicated.

Baron Gologan glanced around, martial law had caused the entire imperial capital to be in a state of panic.

In addition to the civilians hiding in their houses, there were many missionaries shouting something in the streets.

"Demons are lurking in this city! Homeless people, go to church, we can give you shelter! ”

Several churches have been established in the Imperial Capital, and some of the civilians in the Imperial Capital have believed in the God of Light under the missionary mission.

The news that His Royal Highness the prince had taken refuge in the demon had already spread in the imperial capital.

There is only one thing Baron Gologan can do now, and that is that Prince Shaker has escaped from the imperial capital.

But his last glimmer of hope was ruthlessly shattered.

"Baron Gologan! We've found the devil's tracks! Lead your troops to the southern wall at once! ”

A soldier of the city guard rode up to Baron Gologan and informed Baron Gologan's troops of a message.

Was it discovered? The southern city wall... In other words, it is only one step away from escaping from the Imperial City?

Baron Gologan's heart sank to the bottom, but he obeyed the orders of the heralds, and immediately waved the reins in his hand and led his soldiers to the southern wall.

By the time Baron Gologan and his troops arrived at the bottom of the walls, thousands of soldiers had gathered around the walls.

They held 'torches' for lighting, and the glowing protocrystals on the 'torches' converged into a river.

Baron Gologan rushed to the front of the group with the last shred of hope, as he had imagined that the time would be long enough for Prince Shail to escape from the southern walls.

Unfortunately, when Baron Gologan saw the figure of Prince Shayl above the southern city wall, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was instantly extinguished, but the next second his breathing paused slightly.

The prince stood above the city wall in a silver knight's armor, and in the face of the thousands of soldiers who had surrounded her, the expression on Shail's face was very calm, as if these soldiers had not come to arrest her and guillotine, but had come to meet her in triumph.

"The devil is there!"

I don't know who in the army shouted, and the inscription magic that could project light was cast by the caster of the army and illuminated the prince's body.

"The whole army is ready for battle!"

The commander of the other legion shouted, the soldiers had already drawn their bows and crossbows, and the caster had drawn their magic staffs.

Baron Gologan drew his sword and tried to give the same order, but the words were choked in his throat and he couldn't speak anyway.

Hurry up and run away! Baron Gologan kept shouting inwardly.

Shayl only had to jump off the wall behind him to escape the imperial capital, but the young prince did not choose to do so.

"My people."

Her grey pupils glanced down at the soldiers who had pointed their crossbows at her, and the cold voice echoed in everyone's ears.

As soon as Shail's words fell, Baron Gologan heard someone give the order to release the arrows.

Hundreds of arrows pierced the air and shot at Shail, who was standing at the head of the wall, and a transparent wall of ice rose in front of Shail.

But the ice wall couldn't stop the arrows with the magic inscription attached, and the moment the ice wall was shattered, Shayl pulled out the long sword at his waist and instantly cut off more than a dozen arrows aimed at her.

"You guys! How long will you be deceived by those despicable fellows in the Land of the Holy Religion! Shail's voice carried a cold chill that seeped into the hearts of everyone present.

Baron Gologan listened to Prince Shail's words, and felt like his heart was being grabbed by a hand.

He wanted to respond to Shail's question, but cowardice and the cost of failure locked his throat.

The surrounding soldiers seemed to waver slightly.

"Don't be fooled by the words of the devil! His Majesty has given the order that the ...... must be caught," a legion commander shouted to remind the soldiers that it was an order from the King.

A voice drowned out his.

Baron Gologan stared at the southern wall with wide eyes, and a huge 'painting' appeared on the wall of the southern wall, and Baron Gologan recognized the scene in this moving 'painting' as the city around the fortress 'Fort Saint-Saus'.

"The gloom has enveloped our country!"

"The Inquisitors have the ability to transform into the appearance of others."

"Even the patriarch of the White Frost Deer family has been replaced by the Inquisitor?"

"If the country of the Holy Religion makes a mistake, it must be punished, severely punished!"

"I will personally lead the army to guillotine those who have made mistakes."

The film shown on the city walls is a very short cut of the documentary "Frosty Civil Strife", but the content of the clip shows the audience directly what is happening in the country and what Shail is going to do!

After the projection of this short film appeared on the city wall, the soldier who was loading his bow forgot what he was doing and stared blankly at the content, even if the commander next to him tried to hiss.

The loud sound even attracted the surrounding people, who looked out their windows at the 'paintings' that appeared on the southern wall.

The film continues until the final, and most detailed, scene, in which Prince Sheil is brought back to the main hall for interrogation, until the latter pierces the king with a long sword in the chest.

When the blade pierced the king's chest, the king's appearance gradually changed to that of another person, and Baron Gologan felt his breathing stop, and the brains of the soldiers around him went to a state of death.

The air instantly became silent, and the 'painting' that lasted less than three minutes quickly faded away.

When it was all over, Shayl was still standing above the wall, her gaze scanning the soldiers below, and Shayl could feel that the soldiers were looking at her in a completely different way.

"Our esteemed King His Majesty has been replaced by the despicable Inquisitor!" Shayl shouted, "I can't forgive them for their crimes!" Will you be able to endure it?! ”

No one spoke, the weak soldiers had no right to speak out in this matter, they simply did not know who to believe.

If they choose to side with Prince Shayl now, then there is a good chance that they will become sinners who have betrayed the country and be guillotined along with Prince Shayle.

The joints of Baron Gologan's grip on the reins had turned white, and his throat, locked by cowardice, was finally filled with courage at this moment.

The baron raised his sword and shouted out the words he had pent up in his heart with all his might.

"For His Royal Highness!"

"For His Royal Highness!"

The moment Baron Gologan raised his sword, the soldiers with 'torches' around him shouted in the same voice.

The sound began to spread, and the crowd watching by the window poured their voices into the waves.

The long night of the Land of Frost was completely ignited by a flash of fire tonight.
