As the sun rose, so did the blood-colored icicles that froze beneath the wooden frame.

The heavy sluice knives hanging from the guillotine were raised and dropped again and again......

As the number of repetitions grew, the executioners gradually became numb, and in their eyes, what they were doing was not a cruel act that took people's lives, but a simple and boring errand that required the same action to be repeated over and over again.

Each spy had a different expression before being executed,

Someone calmly did not say a word, even smiled at the executioner, and kissed the blood-stained sleeper.

Others shouted angrily and cursed the Valstadians loudly, immediately incurring a severe beating.

Most of the spies were neither calm nor angry at the guillotine, trembling with fear as ordinary people would when they faced death, their pants soaked with urine, and the smell of a fishy mist emitted in the cold morning breeze.

Most of them are of the Arwen continent, and there are a few people from the continent of Olasis.

In the same way, they all worked for the kingdom of Solan, engaged in espionage activities in the Valstad Empire, and ended up beheaded.

In the end, they all ended up the same, each of them became headless corpses, their heads were grabbed and displayed and thrown into buckets, and their bodies were dragged away in canvas bags.

After a long day's work, the executioners looked a little tired, and even the audience began to yawn, and some people turned to the street vendors to buy hot tacos and then came back to eat and watch.

There were also many who lost interest in beheading and simply turned around and left the square, heading to their respective places of work and busy with their livelihoods.

No matter how many people left, more people gathered to watch, and before long, the square was saturated, crowded with people, and it was almost impossible to move a step.

As time passed, the initial barrel was already filled with human heads, blood seeping out along the edges of the sticks, and it was quickly frozen into red ice.

The cleaner pulled away the barrel full of heads and replaced it with a larger one, and after about a while, the basket was also filled with skulls, and the executioner picked up a discarded crate from the side of the street and placed it next to the guillotine.

This time the container was clearly sufficient, as there were not many spies left waiting to be executed.

In the ant-like crowd, a man in black was struggling to squeeze towards the guillotine, and he kept pushing and shoving, snatching away the audience in front of him, causing a shout of scolding: "Fuck! Squeeze what squeeze! You've stepped on my feet, bastard! ”

The man in black lifted his hood slightly, revealing a fair and delicate face, which turned out to be a handsome young man, and he said softly, "I'm sorry, I want to watch it closer." ”

After unremitting efforts, he squeezed into the adjacent row as he wished, and from here he was less than twenty meters away from the guillotine

At this time, an elderly death row inmate, who was in his fifties, was brought up.

After seeing the bloody sleepers and the knife, the man was so frightened that he was incontinent, and his pants smelled of stinking.

The executioner cursed a few words and pressed him down on the sleeper, and soon the knife fell, and another head was lifted up to show the crowd, and then he was kicked into the crate.

On the carriage parked next to it was a large iron cage for death row inmates, and only the last spy waiting to be beheaded was left in it, and unlike the other death row inmates, this was a female spy.

The leading executioner poured a large basin of boiling water on the sleeper, washing away some of the blood of the previous deceased, then glanced towards the cage and said to the two colleagues:

"Guys, look, victory is in sight, there's one girl left, cut her down and call it a day."

Another executioner pulled the woman out of the cage with a rough pull on the chains, and cursed impatiently: "Fuck! Let's go! Stinky of the Solan Kingdom! ”

The woman, dressed only in a thin black and white prison uniform, with her arms crossed over her chest and her hands on her shoulders, shivered from the cold, her legs almost unconscious, shivered incessantly, and she stepped barefoot on the cold stone floor, and began to squirm with difficulty

"Hurry up!"

The executioner lost patience and kicked the woman, who fell, hit her face on the cold ground, and then was violently pulled up in chains.

Her nose was broken and blood was pouring down, but there was little sympathy for her in the great square, only impatient urgings and dirty shouts for she was a spy and an enemy who was trying to destroy the country.

In the crowd, there was a person with a look of pity and worry, it was the young man in black who had just squeezed into the front row, he was constantly adjusting his standing posture, one hand clenched into a fist, the other hand in his pocket, looking quite nervous.

Driven away, the female prisoner climbed with difficulty onto the wooden frame and was dragged to the guillotine.

She was knocked down and lay on the bloody sleepers, her long black hair covered her cheeks, and her beautiful green eyes looked at the crate below, and her gaze happened to look directly at one of the heads contained in it, and she was so frightened that she began to cry, and large tears rolled down and dripped down the heads of those below.

One of the executioners grabbed the thick hemp rope that attached the machine and prepared to lay down the knife.

At this moment, the man in black standing in the first row suddenly yelled: "Let her go!" Then he pulled out the flintlock pistol in his pocket and pulled the trigger on the executioner who was close at hand.

"Phew!" The projectile hit the executioner's thigh, and he fell to his knees, clutching his wounds and shouting for help: "Damn! Someone shoots! Oops! Help me! ”

"Bang bang ......!" Several more gunshots rang out, and it turned out that the man in black was not alone, and his plainclothes men were also hiding in the crowd and shooting at the wooden platform.

The three executioners and one of the warden officers were all hit by the projectiles, not in critical parts, and no one was mortally wounded, but all were incapacitated.

The six gendarmes in charge of guarding the execution site all raised their guns, but they could not shoot at the crowd because they would surely miss the innocent people.

The plainclothes attackers and civilians were so mixed that it was impossible to distinguish between them, and the scene had become extremely chaotic.

Tens of thousands of people screamed, pushing each other and running for their lives, many elderly people and children were crushed and trampled by the crowd, and the number of dead and injured is rapidly increasing.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the attackers with guns rushed to the high platform and completely controlled the vicinity of the guillotine, and now they could finally see their number, there were more than thirty of them, and six gendarmes were punched and kicked, subdued one by one, and then tied up with hemp rope.

The young man in black put down his hood, ran to the female prisoner, and helped her up:

"My dear! Come on! ”

The female prisoner looked at this handsome face in surprise:

"Maxim? It's you? ”

The prince hugged his lover and said:

"Yes, my darling Glency, it's me! See?

I gave everything for you! Do not hesitate to find mercenaries to attack the execution ground! My current actions have completely betrayed my mother majesty, and the entire empire! ”

(He really loves me, and in order to save me, he doesn't even want to be a prince!) At the thought of this, Ms. Granch Steinerberg's heart warmed, and she was moved to tears at first, and then she became anxious and worried:

"Ahh You stupid boy! I...... I'm not worth it for you! You can't save me like that! It's going to hurt you! Stop! It's still too late! ”

Maxim took Ai Rao's hand, surrounded by mercenaries, and began to retreat to the other side of the street, saying:

"I personally shot at the executioner, my dear, once it starts, there is no turning back! Maybe I'm crazy and act without thinking much about the consequences...... But I can't sit in the palace and wait for the news of your execution! What's the point of living like that? ”

"You stupid boy! We're in the center of the imperial capital! How is it possible to escape? Leave me behind! Go and apologize to your mother! ”

"It's okay, let's get out of the crowd!

Dear Grancy, look at this heavy bag, I have prepared enough money, let's flee abroad, incognito, and be a happy couple for the rest of our lives! ”
