The Royal City Judgment, the Spark of the New Humanity!
Chapter 585: Judgment in the Royal City, The Spark of New Humanity!
Facing the gazes of the crowd, this earl's face was as pale as wax, and his whole body trembled violently.
Of course, he was not repenting for his crimes, but out of fear.
At the same time, the commoners in the city watching the projection listened to the string of crimes.
Although their eyes still held fear, for some inexplicable reason, a spark of anger surfaced in their hearts.
If these people had not disclosed it, they would never have known that the disappearances of so many children in the city were connected to this earl.
Among the crowd, some women collapsed on the spot and wailed loudly.
When all the crimes had been announced,
That Watcher elder asked, "Chris Ashton, do you plead guilty?"
Hearing this, the earl kneeling on the ground below kowtowed repeatedly, knocking his head against the ground with loud thuds!
"I was wrong! I truly know I was wrong!"
The Watchers Leader asked, "What were you wrong about?"
To this question, Earl Chris opened his mouth, but for a moment could not answer.
Facing the gaze of the Watchers Leader and the increasingly terrifying pressure, he was so scared he nearly wet his pants.
At this moment, on the verge of collapse, he shouted, "I really don't know! Everyone does this!"
Clearly, even now, he believed what he had done was a very ordinary thing.
In their eyes, those commoners had never been regarded as human beings.
The Watchers Leader naturally understood the nature of these nobles.
A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his mouth, then he said indifferently, "Execute."
As the words fell, a Legendary Watcher wielding a large blade stepped forward.
A cold gleam flashed!
With a "pfft!" sound, a head with disheveled hair fell and rolled on the ground.
In front of millions of citizens of the entire city, this noble earl was beheaded on the spot.
Then, his corpse was picked up and casually thrown into a strange building nearby.
That building was about four to five hundred square meters, looking like a pool, but what was contained in the pool,
was blood that was about to overflow!
Beside the blood pool stood several cloaked figures; they were all Watchers with Hero-level combat power.
"Gurgle—"
As the corpse was thrown into the blood pool, the calm surface slightly boiled, as if some power had been awakened.
The blood pool seemed to be devouring this earl's corpse, and in no time it disappeared without a trace.
As a fifth-tier Commander-level powerhouse, this earl's corpse also contained considerable energy.
When the first noble died, the other nobles kneeling on the ground trembled uncontrollably in fear!
At this moment, King Velen raised his head, looking at them with a haggard face, and said, "Watchers, what exactly do you want to do?"
Hearing this question, the Watchers Leader replied indifferently, "Nothing much. We are just performing a feat, a feat that no one in this world has ever accomplished!"
"We—are going to start a revolution!"
"The first step is to let the people see your ugly faces."
"Let them know what filthy beings control the fate of this country and hold the lives and deaths of countless people!"
Hearing this, the nobles below all shuddered.
This Watchers Leader exuded an overwhelming pressure!
And King Velen seemed to understand something.
These Watchers were not simply going to execute them, but to tear off their fig leaf in front of the world!
To expose every single one of their past misdeeds without omission.
"I see. You want to use this to make these commoners hate us, and thereby control the hearts of the people, is that it?"
"But you are mistaken. The right to speak in this world has never been in the hands of the majority, but in the hands of a minority like you and me."
"You attempt to control the hearts of the people, but you do not know the inherent flaws of humanity. In the end, these things will backfire on you."
Saying this, a mocking smile appeared on King Velen's face, as if he had already seen his fate.
The Watchers Leader did not mind, merely waved his hand, signaling the elder to continue.
At the same time, that Watcher elder, holding the book in his hands, continued to turn the pages.
"Velen Kingdom: Third Legion Lieutenant General, Caesar Perk, during his tenure, conducted a large number of human experiments."
"Using ordinary people as tools, soaking them in liquid all day, conducting inhuman research every day, and even established an experimental base."
"In addition, Caesar Perk often trespassed into other commoners' homes, played with over a hundred young girls to death, and in front of these girls, tortured and killed their families, committing multiple cases of extermination."
"And the next day, he sent soldiers to kill all witnesses."
A long string of crimes was announced.
Hearing this, the millions of commoners in the city once again showed anger in their eyes!
This lieutenant general destroyed so many families, and these things happened in broad daylight, yet they were completely unaware.
This shows the royal palace's ability to block all kinds of information.
The Watchers Leader did not even bother to ask if he pleaded guilty, and directly said indifferently, "Execute."
The moment the order was given, this lieutenant general burst out with seventh-tier Sovereign-level strength, violently breaking free from the chains.
"Crack! Crack!"
The iron chains snapped directly, and without any pause, he rushed forward.
He knew that with his strength, he could not possibly contend against these Watchers. The only thing he could do now was flee!
However, this lieutenant general had only run two steps when he discovered that his legs were still running forward, but his head remained in place.
"Gurgle—"
Another head fell to the ground.
This scene caused a trace of satisfaction to surface in the hearts of those commoners!
Among the crowd, many clenched their fists, their whole bodies trembling violently.
Then, a Watcher elder picked up his corpse again, threw it into the blood pool, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared without a trace.
On the field, the other nobles were once again scared into silence.
That Watcher elder continued to read.
"Velen Kingdom Earl: Jenos Dixon, abused drugs, tortured and killed over a thousand female slaves,"
"and believed in the New Bishop, thinking that newborn babies possess the purest life essence."
"Colluded with the city's clinics to secretly transfer pregnant women about to give birth. Hundreds of pregnant women suffered, their bellies were cut open alive, and the fetuses in their wombs became food on the plate."
Just hearing these few crimes was enough to make these commoners furious!
The crimes committed by this earl were simply worse than those of a beast!
Among the crowd, a middle-aged man cried out in collapse, "Bastard! So it was you who caused my wife's incident on the day she was about to give birth,"
"It was you!"
"You told me that my wife died of excessive bleeding, that both the child and the mother were gone!"
"Damn it! I didn't even get to see my wife one last time!!!"
The more this person spoke, the more hysterical he became.
Many voices of collapse also came from the crowd.
However, this was only one kind of crime committed by this earl.
The subsequent crimes were equally outrageous, even more cruel, making it unbearable to listen.
However, that Watchers Leader still watched all this indifferently.
He wanted everyone to know the filth and ugliness of these nobles!
A full five minutes passed before the string of crimes was finally announced.
Those collapsed commoners already wished they could rush into the royal palace and tear this earl's body inch by inch!
The Watchers Leader said indifferently.
"Execute."
"Pfft!"
Another noble was beheaded on the spot!
Seeing this, those commoners clenched their fists, their faces red!
It was as if some emotion had been vented.
That Watcher elder continued to pronounce judgment.
At this time, the masses discovered that besides the book in his hands, behind him were stacked dozens of books, each no less thick than the previous one.
These all represented the accumulated crimes committed by these nobles in normal times!
Now, the Watchers began to judge their crimes!
At this moment, the hearts of the entire city's populace quietly changed.
The fear and confusion in their eyes gradually disappeared.
Even, when seeing those nobles beheaded, they could not help but show a look of satisfaction in their hearts.
This judgment lasted a whole day.
A large number of nobles were beheaded on the spot.
However, there were still more nobles, church members, and criminals being transported from all over the kingdom to Velen Main City.
The Watchers Leader had been sitting on the throne the entire time, taking in the expressions in the eyes of the millions of commoners throughout the main city.
After seeing the anger in their eyes, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
Clearly, this was the result he wanted to see.
Through a public trial, he aimed to dispel these commoners' fear of the nobles.
To let them know that these high and mighty fellows also only had one life and one head!
As long as they had the courage to swing a blade and fight, then no one would ever be able to oppress them again.
Then, he gradually stood up and said with emotion.
"A thousand years ago, I failed."
"A thousand years later, I have learned my lesson. This time, the revolution will surely succeed."
"The spark of new humanity will be ignited here, and then cover the entire world!"
Time flew by, and two days passed.
Today was the third day after the development period ended.
There were no more Ice Nest Monsters, no more monster sieges.
For the Survivors, the previous two days had been rare peaceful days.
But everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.
A greater crisis was brewing.
Gale Snowfield region.
On this day, a figure wielding transparent Wind Wings flew back from outside the territory and landed in the buffer zone.
Liu Muxue, who had already reached level 100, immediately sensed that familiar aura.
She went outside to welcome him at once.
"A Xing, you're back!"
Cao Xing had a smile on his face and nodded, saying, "Yeah."
Liu Muxue also had a faint smile on her face as she asked, "A Xing, did you find what you were looking for?"
"I found it."
This was also the reason for his return.
Next, it was time for the operation to begin.
"Muxue, wait here for me for a bit. You'll come out with me later."
"Okay, A Xing."
After saying that, she obediently went to the side to wait.
Cao Xing pressed the communication device on his ear and shouted, "All combat personnel, assemble!"
Hearing the command, thousands of combat personnel from the entire territory came out one after another.
It took three minutes for them all to assemble.
Cao Xing glanced over them and then said, "All those who have reached rank seven and possess potential above leader-level, step forward!"
In an instant, over fifty figures from the entire territory stepped forward.
Besides Bo Jie, Hilda, and over forty other level 70 powerhouses,
There were also Isabelle, who had become a Legendary Saint Light Sage, and six level 100 rank ten heroes.
It went without saying what a terrifying force this was.
Cao Xing continued, "Now, except for Luen, Gain, Jonard, and Josent, who will stay behind to lead the other legions in guarding the territory, everyone else will come with me."
After receiving the order, they didn't ask where Cao Xing was taking them and began to carry out the command.
Then, Jonard, Josent, and the other two leaders each led their soldiers away from this place.
Soon, only forty-seven figures remained here, including Cao Xing.
Big White, Frost Moose, Volibear, Old Wang, Buoyancy, and even Seraphis and other pets were all present.
These core combat personnel all looked at their lord, waiting for his next instruction.
Cao Xing said, "Next, you will accompany me on a mission, an arduous mission."
"We are going to deal with Legendary beings, and not just one Legendary!"
Hearing this, everyone on the field tensed up, and shock gradually appeared on their faces.
Although they knew that their lord's disappearance for two days might have been for some big move,
They hadn't expected the move to be this big!
As soon as he returned, he was going to take them to fight Legendary beings!
But despite this, there was not a trace of fear in the eyes of these combat personnel; instead, their fighting spirit soared!
Then, Cao Xing explained to them the specific action plan and who the enemies were.
Everyone nodded solemnly and understood his meaning.
Cao Xing continued, "Next, you will first come with me to Eternal Frost Main City, and then I will put you into the necromancers bag."
"During this time, you will all stay in the bag. When I let you out, that will be when the battle begins."
"Is everyone clear on this?"
"Understood, respected Lord!" everyone responded in unison.
"Very good, now follow me."
Soon, all forty-seven figures stood on the territory's teleportation array.
[Do you wish to activate the teleportation array and go to Eternal Frost Main City?]
"Yes."
Instantly, a intense light flashed, enveloping all of them.
The scene flickered, and the view before them changed.
[You have arrived at Eternal Frost Main City—.—]
As soon as the teleportation ended, Cao Xing took out [Vitya's Necromancer Flute (Orange)] and blew it.
"Woo—" As the low and mysterious flute sound arose,
An aura of death gradually spread.
It enveloped Cao Xing himself and the other forty-plus powerhouses.
At this moment, everyone's bodies underwent changes.
Their skin became extremely pale, and not a trace of blood color could be seen on their faces, as if they were corpses.
Moreover, their status also changed to Undead.
Elisa looked at the changes in everyone, her gaze landing on Sarah, and then she exclaimed, "Wow, Sister Sarah has become so white, she almost doesn't look like a Dark Elf anymore."
Hearing this, everyone looked over,
And indeed, they found that Sarah's chocolate-like skin color had faded a lot, becoming much fairer.
In this state, Sarah had less of a dark aura and gained some moving beauty.
Facing everyone's gaze, this Dark Elf also felt a bit embarrassed.
The others were also observing their own changes, looking amazed.
It took about ten seconds for the flute playing to finish.
A system prompt appeared.
[You have blown [Vitya's Necromancer Flute (Orange)]. For the next 200 seconds, you will enter the Undead state. Affected by the talent [Eternal Power], this state has become permanent.]
(Note: In the permanent state, you can exit and close it at any time.)
Eternal Power was as useful as ever.
This way, they could be put into the necromancers bag at any time!
"Alright, everyone get ready. I'm going to put you into the bag."
Everyone straightened up and mentally prepared themselves.
At the same time, Cao Xing directly clicked to collect.
In an instant, these dozens of figures disappeared on the spot.
It was worth mentioning that due to the different sizes of these forty-plus creatures, the slots they occupied in the necromancers bag also differed.
For example, ones like Liu Muxue and Sarah generally occupied one slot.
But if it were beasts like Seraphis or Big White, they would occupy more than ten slots.
These forty-plus people together took up about 85 slots of Cao Xing's.
At the same time, sensing the appearance of Cao Xing's aura, a powerful aura rose from deep within the kingdom.
And it arrived by his side at an extremely fast speed.
It was none other than the Old King—Eldon.
At this moment, after seeing Cao Xing, a trace of confusion appeared on his aged face.
Then he asked, "Strange, I clearly sensed the auras of many powerhouses just now, how did they disappear in a blink?"
Cao Xing smiled and didn't explain much.
The Old King asked, "Lord Cao Xing, are you the only one here?"
Cao Xing shook his head, "No, they will appear when the operation begins."
Hearing his answer, a thoughtful look appeared in the Old King's muddy eyes.
After all, this operation could be said to be quite important. For comprehensive consideration, they should first understand the strength of their teammates.
But out of trust in Cao Xing, he ultimately didn't ask more.
Old King Eldon nodded and said, "Then now, let's go directly to the Velen Kingdom's territory. The others are already waiting there!"
"Alright!"
As soon as the words fell, Cao Xing jumped onto the back of the Spirit Vision Goshawk King.
"Whoosh—"
With a flap of its wings, this Spirit Vision Goshawk King carried him and the Old King instantly into the high sky.
In the blink of an eye, they left Eternal Frost Main City and rushed all the way toward the border.
However, on the way, Cao Xing quietly slipped two things to the Old King.
A green heart, and dozens of bottles of potion.
