Chapter 297: Drove's End
Five days went by in a flash. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the day of the handover ceremony, many citizens gathered in the square early in the morning, looking forward to the arrival of that day.
At half past nine in the morning, a team of fifty knights slowly moved through the crowd.
The congested road gradually moved closer to the sides, freeing up a three-meter-wide road in the middle.
Behind the fifty knights was a silver carriage.
Almost everyone knows that this was once Edwin's carriage, and now it's back in Edwin's hands.
As the carriage passed, everyone consciously moved two steps back to show respect for the old man.
The knights escorted the carriage into the middle of the square, and when the carriage was parked, Edwin and Aaron stepped out of it.
The two of them were expressionless, and calmly walked to the high platform that had just been built.
The knight stood at the bottom of the platform, spear in hand, guarding the platform, while Atherton and Rice, who had just recovered from a serious illness, followed behind Edwin and Aaron, respectively.
Edwin and Aaron smiled at each other, then walked straight to the front of the platform.
There were dense crowds of people standing under the high platform, and the square, which could fit five thousand people, was crowded. The rooftops of nearby buildings were also crowded with people, and everyone's eyes were full of eager hope, staring intently at the center of the square.
Edwin remembered that forty years ago, when he was a young man who didn't know anything, his father took him to this place to give his first lecture.
It was also a handover, and on that day, he was in the same mood as now.
At that time, at the age of twenty-three, he gained power and status.
During his forty years in power, he worked so hard that power and position gradually turned into responsibility, into shackles, and pressed on him, making him forget the happiness he had obtained in that moment.
Now, that ease resurfaced in his heart, and in addition to the imminent release of his responsibilities, he also wanted to avenge his son.
"I think you already know why I'm here today, and my tenure in Dajon will come to an end at this moment. ”
After saying this, Edwin took two deep breaths to calm his mood, because he had already noticed that his eyes were already slightly hot, and he was afraid that if he continued, he would cry completely.
"I remember the first time I gave a speech on stage, and I made a lot of jokes, but everyone was very tolerant of me, and I gradually grew from an ignorant young man to an old politician......"
Edwin talked eloquently and recounted all the experiences and insights of the past forty years.
The old man's voice was not high, but the people in the square did not feel that the voice was quiet, and the whole square was silent, and everyone listened attentively to Edwin's speech.
After talking about his achievements, the old man turned the conversation to Aaron, introducing his identity, his person, and his contribution to driving out Drove, and finally mentioning that after today, he would become the lord of this Dahonla.
Aaron also assured the public that the policies that have been implemented will continue to be implemented, and other policies that will be introduced in the future to benefit the development of Dahula.
At the end of the speech, the two men hugged each other, which means that the transfer of power has been smooth.
The square erupted into a boil, chanting the names of Edwin and Razor.
Edwin and Aaron raised their hands and smiled, while looking at the citizens in the front row uneasily, everyone's expressions were extremely normal, and they didn't see anyone making strange movements.
Did Dogrov really escape Dahonla, or did he see their intentions?
Although the two of them were very anxious in their hearts, their faces still showed joy and excitement.
Until the two walked off the stage, Drove still did not appear.
Aaron and Edwin got into the carriage and slowly drove out of the crowded plaza.
The carriage took Aaron back to the office building and then to Edwin's residence.
Edwin got out of the carriage, thanked the coachman, and pushed the door open.
A man appeared before his eyes.
The man had no left arm, but a dagger in his right hand, a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and without any superfluous movements, he stepped forward and stabbed the dagger into Edwin's abdomen.
"Old man, die!"
"Drov...... You're going to show up in this place......"
Edwin clutched his abdomen and knelt on the ground, looking at Drove with bloodshot eyes.
"Do you think I'm going to be stupid enough to run to the square and get caught? Tell you, I'm here to kill you, and the next person to die will be Razor!"
Drove's eyes were bloodshot.
"Got an idea...... Ahem...... But, Drove, I'll teach you another lesson, rats can't fight cats......"
Droff was stunned for a moment, and then the wooden door in front of him "banged" and cracked into pieces.
Aaron appears in front of Droff with Crayford and Rice.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Dref rushed towards the window without saying a word, and Credford stepped forward, grabbed Drov's shoulder, pulled Drov back, and at the same time drew his sword with his right hand and stabbed Drov in the abdomen.
With a "stab", Drove's clothes were torn, and the sword slid against Drove's body, piercing Drove's skin.
Ignoring the wounds on his body, Drove rushed to the window again.
Crayford followed and stabbed Dryoff in the abdomen before he could react.
Drove let out a wail of pain and fell to the ground.
"Mr. Edwin, how are you?"
Aaron crouches on the ground and looks at Edwin, only to find that Edwin's abdomen is bleeding constantly, and the chain mail that is set inside has been punctured by Drove's dagger.
"How can this be? Les, get to the doctor!"
Aaron roared at Rice like a mad lion.
Les hurriedly turned around, but was stopped by Edwin again.
"No need...... Do you think Deloff will let me live? You still don't know him...... This dagger is coated with poison, and I can't help it...... Razor, promise me...... To be like your father...... Such a lord, I ...... I'm satisfied with it now...... ......"
Edwin's head tilted slightly, and Aaron touched his neck, his pulse no longer beating.
Aaron gently lowered Edwin's body, drew his saber, and walked in front of Drove.
Drove had collapsed in a pool of blood and howled incessantly.
Aaron dropped his sword and cut off Drove's head.
The handover ceremony has just been held, and in the blink of an eye, there will be a funeral for Edwin.
When Edwin's coffin was carried to the cemetery, along the way, pedestrians stood on both sides of the street, watching Edwin be buried in the ground.
As for Drove, his body was discarded on the outside of the city gates and eaten by wild dogs. (To be continued.) )
