It was another rainy day, the noon sky could not see the sun, the clouds were layered, the sky was an endless gray, although there was no wind, but the light rain still brought the coolness of early spring to everyone present.

The crowd in the stands was bustling, they held umbrellas, stood on tiptoe, and tried to look, all wanting to see how the once invincible Duke Nolan looked now, for them, this is the after-dinner conversation, and it cannot be missed.

As for the crime that Duke Nolan committed, they don't care, they just want to see what kind of punishment this person will be punished for, beheading, hanging, or burning? Many people prefer to be hanged, because some people have come early to occupy their positions, and they have not yet eaten lunch, and if they have seen the bloody scene of beheading, it is estimated that it will be difficult to swallow.

On the high platform, the queen sat in the center of the seat, and on her left hand sat the moon and violet, the black veil covered her pale face, those palace ministers had to stand on both sides of the high platform, everyone had to be present today, but these ministers were not interested in execution, they were more concerned about what to eat at noon than Nolan's fate.

Nolan was in chains, two royal guards held steel spears against his back, forced to kneel in front of the queen, he had not seen the sun for almost a month, even on a rainy day, he still had to squint, the cold rain washed the dirt on his face, he tried to raise his head, but was pressed to the ground by the guards.

Is this the kingdom that you have worked so hard to protect?

Rigolettos on the high platform, fools in the stands, and...... This cold ground, is this what he has been guarding for more than 20 years?

Nolan is not afraid of death, he only feels ironic, he did not fall on the battlefield, did not die of assassination, but fell in front of the royal power he supported single-handedly, just because of this trumped-up crime, maybe his real crime is not to assassinate His Majesty, nor is it a rebellion, but the strength of the Nuo family that is enough to challenge the royal power.

This is something he has long understood, so he is willing to leave White Wolf City and become an insignificant imperial minister, just to reassure Ye Bei, just because he believes in Ye Bei, but this day has come after all.

"Lord Mu Bai, the time is almost up, this rainy day is really uncomfortable, you must be tired of standing, let's pronounce the crime. There was a slight tremor in the Queen's voice, and no one heard anything strange as she tried to hide it.

Only Violet beside her glanced deeply at the mother, and then swept her gaze over the face of the puppet and the moon, and finally landed on Nolan.

"Yes. ”

Mu Bai sighed secretly, at this moment, he couldn't intercede for Nolan anymore, no matter whether the evidence was true or forged, as long as everyone admitted it, the fake was also true, what they wanted was not the truth, but Nolan's head.

"Nolan, as a duke, assassinated His Majesty on the occasion of Lingwan's school ball, causing His Majesty to be in a coma to this day, and plotting to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, and immediately deprived the fief of the title, but the people of the Fanno family, whether they are men, women, young and old, servants and sirs, are all punished for treason, all men are beheaded, and all women are hanged, no one is exempt. ”

After saying all this, Mu Bai was in a trance, and hurriedly held on to the railing, he only felt a little dizzy, panting heavily, obviously outside, but his chest was stuffy, and he couldn't say uncomfortable.

"Lord Mu Bai, are you okay?" the guard hurriedly stretched out his hand to support the old man.

"What can I do...... It's over...... It's over. ”

Mu Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head, he broke free from the guard's hand, and looked at Nolan kneeling under the stage in a daze, he seemed to have seen the scene of corpses all over the North Wind City, there were ruins everywhere, children were homeless, people fell one by one in pools of blood, wildfires melted glaciers, and the North Ye Country fell into a protracted civil war, and the order that had been established with great difficulty would be destroyed in the war.

The executioner wore heavy armor and a helmet, leaving only breathing passages for the mouth and nose, and a narrow hole in front of the eyes for observation, which was a necessary attire for every executioner, in case anyone retaliated against him or his family.

The broad-bladed giant sword is extremely sharp, the sword body is engraved with the three-leaf mark, and the executioner's right arm is wrapped around the three-leaf banner that symbolizes the North Leaf Kingdom, although no one can see his face clearly, but his heart is still extremely nervous, and the hand holding the sword is covered with sweat.

If he kills a civilian criminal, he won't blink his eyes, but the old man in front of him is different, will his identity really not be revealed? In case someone finds out, how should a small imperial guard face the anger of the Nuo family, don't look at what Mu Bai said, who doesn't know how powerful the Nuo family is in the north, how can it be dealt with?

"I was much more nervous than you for the first time I killed someone, he was a coward, he ran away during the war, and in the end he was caught, my father asked me to stare into his eyes, listen to his last words, and then take matters into my own hands, to be honest, I messed up, my sword hesitated, and only cut off half of his neck, causing him not to die in the first place, he struggled frantically, and blood sprayed my face, that scene I will never forget in my life. ”

Nolan burst out laughing, and he continued, "I know you can't talk to me, but don't be afraid, I don't know who you are, and I don't care who you are, I hold the sword tightly, don't hesitate when you cut, otherwise I swear, I will definitely splash your blood." ”

The executioner was silent, he tightened the greatsword in his hand, and slowly placed it around Nolan's neck.

The heavy blade of the sword pressed against his neck, and when he was about to die, Nolan was relieved in his heart, he used to cut off other people's heads with a sword, and he didn't expect that he would have such a day.

All eyes were on Nolan, and they had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Syllable.

With a crisp clapping sound, the executioner settled down and slowly raised the giant sword, he didn't need to care whether the executed person was guilty or not, all he had to do was raise the sword and cut it down.

However, at this moment, a smile rose at the corner of the puppet's mouth, and an invisible mist suddenly rose outside the high platform, as if the rain falling from the sky had completely evaporated into water vapor at this moment.

"What is this?"

"What's going on?"

"It's hot!"

"Ah......h

There was an exclamation from the crowd, but soon the exclamation turned into a heart-rending scream, and the hot water vapor burned their bare skin, their faces became red and swollen, and scalded blisters appeared one after another, and their eyes were burned by the heat of the moisture.

The ministers on the high platform were also stunned by the scene in front of them, they could not see what was happening outside, and one of the ministers reached into the white mist, as if he had touched red-hot iron, and immediately retracted his hand, but even then his hand was still hot and blistered, and the pain made him cry.

As for those imperial guards, it was even worse, most of the guards were standing outside to maintain order, and the armor they were wearing instantly became hot, and before they could take it off, they were already burned and fainted.

Where have the ministers seen such a scene, they are too busy to take care of themselves at the moment, huddled together and constantly leaned in, for fear that the hot water vapor outside would spread in, and as for the life and death of those civilians outside, they didn't care at all.

"What are you doing in a daze!? Why don't you hurry up and protect the two Highnesses and the Empress. ”

Mu Bai endured the discomfort of his body and shouted, the position he was standing on the far outside, and the hands that were originally holding on to the railing were covered with blisters of different sizes, but now where can he take care of these.

In the end, these words still had some effect, making them realize their identity, and these ministers drew their precious swords that had never seen blood, and stood in front of the queen bravely, and the embarrassment and horror of the previous second seemed to be just an illusion.

The fog is in the center.

Nolan closed his eyes the moment the mist appeared, he couldn't see anything now, the high temperature moisture soaked his clothes, and blisters burned out on his body, but the heavy shackles still made him unable to move, it was impossible if he changed before, but now he is even worse than ordinary old people.

The executioner hurriedly threw the giant sword in his hand to the ground, the high temperature moisture made the armor on his body and the giant sword in his hand hot, he couldn't help but be a little lucky, fortunately he also wore a set of thick clothes in the armor to keep warm, so he was not burned on the spot, but even so, he is now at a loss, I don't know whether to continue the execution.

"Don't let go of Lord Nolan quickly, otherwise none of you will want to live today!"

"How dare you kill Lord Nolan!

The executioner didn't know what was going on at all, he looked around blankly, but he couldn't find the source of the sound, as if it sounded in all directions, he obviously hadn't done it yet, he subconsciously looked at the ground, and the execution sword was thrown by him...... Huh? Why is it gone?

Before he could react, a powerful punch directly dented his armor along with his chest, and the broken ribs pierced his internal organs, and his heart stopped beating at this moment.

The corpse of the executioner pierced through the dense fog like an arrow from a string, slammed through the stone railing, and smashed directly at the queen, with a speed that was astonishing.

There was still a thick fog rolling in front of them, and they couldn't see things clearly, although the guards knew that there were assassins, they didn't know the location of the other party, so they could only hold their swords in front of the queen, but these ministers had to huddle together, but they squeezed them aside and waited until they heard the whistling sound coming from the thick fog, and it was too late to react.

However, the most ironic thing is that when a body flew out of the dense fog and smashed something I don't know, the ministers who were originally blocking the queen reacted faster than one at this time, holding their heads is a squat, and they don't even need a sword, what queen, what highness, how can their own lives be important?
