Chapter 0640 - Testimony (8800 plus, ask for a monthly pass)
Plague World.
The former Kingdom of Maximi, the capital of hope.
In the year 250 of the Sacred Era, it has been seven years since the 'dictator', 'lifelong tribune', 'head of the new kingdom', and 'slaughterer' Lyzer overthrew the feudal kingdom and established the 'new kingdom'.
During this time, Lyzer used his Tyrant's abilities to drive the army of the infected to recover one city after another that had fallen to the plague and free its people.
At the same time, he is also frantically persecuting all creatures involved in the 'supernatural'.
As a result, the horned eagles and flower fairies in the north have become extinct, and all kinds of transcendent creatures on the continent have been mercilessly hunted down by the army of infected people.
When magical beasts become extinct, it's humans' turn.
A large number of 'witches' were burned at the stake, and pink eye patients were arrested en masse on suspicion of being 'vampires'.
Scholars in the new country even openly preached the theory of 'pure blood', believing that pure-blood people were the most noble creatures, and devised a set of complicated and cumbersome 'screening rituals'.
Ironically, most of the scholars who advocated this theory were also arrested for 'excessive body hair' and suspected werewolves.
As a result, Lyzer's reputation plummeted, and he was given the titles of 'dictator' and 'slaughterer'.
Even, around the year 247 of the Holy Calendar, when the territory of the former kingdom of Maximilian had been completely restored and the plague had been largely defeated, the originally wise and resolute leader gradually began to go crazy.
After the outer 'Transcendents' were all but killed, he set his sights on his army, the army of the Absolutely Loyal, the Infected.
Numerous high-ranking officers were arrested, secretly executed.
Even, Lai Zhe also used the ability of [Tyrant] to order a large number of low-level infected people to be sent to death automatically.
This immediately enveloped the whole new country in terror.
Everyone was afraid that the mad slaughterer would find him the next day.
β¦β¦
The City of Hope.
Tribune's Residence.
Lyzer lived a very simple life, never ate meat at every meal, and wore sackcloth clothes, like a devout ascetic.
His main course for dinner today was boiled potatoes in salted water, served with a few leaves and carrots.
By the time he had eaten it slowly, Lych received news that a lady had come to visit.
"Please come in, Lady Jennifer, I will see her in the study."
Lyzer paced to the study, and it was not long before he saw a lady who was no longer young, but still beautiful and well-built, walked in.
"Jennifer ......"
Looking at the former team member, Leyzer's expression was a little dazed.
"Captain......
Jennifer smiled wryly: "Or...... Should I call you 'Dictator'? β
"You know that...... Everything I do, just to make our world a better place. Lyzer was silent for a long time before he spat out a sentence.
"But the common people don't know, they only know that their rulers are crazy, and they are afraid that one day, the crazy crows, no, the crows have been killed by you, and they are afraid that the gendarmes will burst into their homes and declare them the descendants of witches, werewolves, or vampires, and put them to death!"
Jennifer said fiercely, "They're going to throw themselves at your enemies, a lot of them!" β
Lyzer has no mercy for the mystic, but is quite tolerant of some ordinary people who rebel against him, which is also a very puzzling thing for her.
"Captain...... This is the last time I'll call you that. β
A bitter smile appeared on her face: "Your people, your enemies are plotting against you, and you are still slaughtering those who originally supported you...... Everyone thinks you're crazy, but I know you're just paranoid, and you've fallen into a pretty stubborn state ever since you met 'that guy' in Plague City, and I don't even know if he's human. β
"Yes, it doesn't matter if the people understand me or not, I just want to accomplish my goal."
Lyzer muttered, "Now it's only one last step. β
"You don't have a chance."
Accompanied by Jennifer's voice, the sound of gunfire suddenly rang out outside.
"A coup d'Γ©tat...... Rightfully so, isn't it? β
Jennifer said: "No one supports you anymore, no one protects you anymore, everyone is afraid of you and hates you!" You will be the next Jindem. Even your guards betrayed you, you killed Godier, you killed Colondo...... Kill the most loyal hounds to you, now it's your turn! β
"yes, it's my turn."
Lyzer's expression was strange, not the pain of betrayal, nor anger, but a kind of comfort and ...... Indifferent?
This contrast made Jennifer rub her eyes.
"That being told me...... A new era is about to begin, but the final sacrifice is still needed! β
Lyzer said one last word, looked at the soldiers rushing in, smiled lightly, and raised his hands.
Even if all his subordinates rebelled, he was still a second-order [tyrant], the upper limit of force in this world, and he could even manipulate spiritual germs to recreate a group of infected people loyal to him.
Even if it is not good, you can easily escape with your own physical fitness.
But he didn't!
In the face of the 'betrayers' who rushed in, Lyzer only calmly made a gesture of surrender.
"Former Archon and Tribune Rhee! You have been arrested on multiple counts of murder and genocide! β
A young man walked in and announced, "You will be tried before the people, we will give you the right to appeal, and there will be an open court." β
"That's at least better than Kindham, isn't it?"
Lai Zhe chuckled: "My time is over, you guys do it well!" β
He put on his shackles and strode out of the doorway.
"What a madman......"
The young man froze in place, seeing that Jennifer's tears had come out of his eyes.
β¦β¦
The news of Lyzer's arrest soon spread throughout the City of Hope.
Every citizen cheered and even held a celebration for it.
They felt that the terrifying dark cloud that hung over everyone's heads finally lifted, and they saw the sun that they had not seen for a long time.
In open court, no lawyer was willing to defend Lyzer, and the citizens below cheered as prosecutors announced every charge.
And when Lyzer appeared, the curses of the tyrant, the slaughterer, and the mad king came like a tsunami.
Faced with such a scene that Qianfu was referring to, Lyzer's face was calm, without the slightest fluctuation, and he did not try to defend himself.
"I declare that all charges are convicted and the prisoner is sentenced to death!"
Eventually, when the justice's hammer struck, the whole square was filled with cheers.
Sulu's doppelganger stood quietly outside the square, looking at Lai Zhe: "I said it...... I will witness your splendor and your death! β
