"You...who are you?"
The old king struggled to get up from the bed, his originally empty eyes showing intense embarrassment and anger.
This is why the old king, who was originally quite wise, suddenly became extremely angry, and even destroyed the Eagle Group with his own hands, which he promoted and trained to balance the power of the old aristocracy.
Especially after being exposed by Griffith in the dungeon, he even lost his temper on the spot and grabbed the whip from the hand of the torture officer and whipped him.
And he also issued an order for the torturer to torture Griffith as much as possible without killing him.
It's a pity that he failed to succeed in the end, and instead lost the will and courage to live.
Even after calming down, he felt that he had sinned deeply and was not worthy of being the king of this country.
The constant conflict between morality and desire, and the torture caused by the conflict, almost drove the old king crazy.
If possible, he really hoped that he could die quickly with these dark secrets.
Unfortunately, just when he was about to lie down and die, he was dug up by two "living ancestors" who suddenly broke in.
In particular, Hansel, a quasi-god with the power of death, soul and mind, can peek into the deepest secrets hidden in others' hearts with just a thought.
Therefore, instead of waiting for death to come, the old king died in front of everyone.
Looking at the servants kneeling on the ground and the shocked and stunned expressions on the guards' faces, you can tell how explosive this incident really is in the eyes of outsiders.
The most important thing is that they finally understood why the king was so angry because of Griffith's one-night stand with the princess.
After all, a romantic love story like this between a young upstart and a young princess, even if the father as the king does not agree, usually it should not be so ugly.
After all, no matter what, the Eagle Group was the biggest contributor to helping the Kingdom of Mitland win the Hundred Years War.
Griffith and Sharlut can both be regarded as talented men and beautiful women.
Theoretically, it would be a hugely profitable deal for the royal family to win over the Eagle Group through a marriage.
But the old king did the opposite. Because of a romantic affair, he directly went to war and abolished the political assistants he had cultivated. He also allowed the old aristocratic forces to take the opportunity to rise again and become the well-deserved master of the entire country.
That kind of stupidity, short-sightedness and incompetence are like two completely different people from his previous performance.
But now, others finally understood the source of the old king's overreaction.
The shock, disgust and disdain revealed in those eyes made the old guy with one foot in the coffin feel an indescribable shame.
After all, he is not Griffith who has become a demon. He can completely ignore all the constraints of the world and perform 18-forbidden action blockbusters in public.
"Bah! How disgusting!"
Mordred spat at the old king, clearly showing his contempt and disgust.
No hesitation!
She walked straight to the bed, dragged him off the bed by his hair, and dragged him to the highest bell tower in the palace, and signaled the bell ringer to ring the bell.
After a while, the entire palace and even the entire city noticed that their king was being carried in the hands of a blond girl like a dead dog.
Before everyone could react to what happened, Xiao Mo, who never liked to talk, took up his sword and chopped off the old king's head, and kicked the body and head off the bell tower, falling straight to the empty space below.
in the small square.
"Ah!!!! The King...His Majesty the King has been beheaded!"
"Oh my God! This world is crazy!"
"What's going on? What happened? Is that girl crazy?"
"Guards! Where are the guards in the palace? Why did they watch the king being killed?"
Just as the people on the street were looking at the corpse of the old king that had been smashed into meat patties and screaming in surprise, a large dark cloud-like thing suddenly covered the sun above their heads.
The next second...
I don’t know what these things were, and they all fell like raindrops from an altitude of hundreds of meters.
First came hundreds of corpses, followed by a thick rain of blood exuding a pungent stench.
The people standing under the bell tower had no time to dodge and were showered on the spot. Their hearts were beating wildly and their whole bodies were shaking violently uncontrollably.
Although many of the corpses were unrecognizable when they fell down, the remaining armor and clothes on their bodies made it easy to identify them as soldiers, knights, servants, nobles and ministers in the palace.
And these people who used to be aloof and held the power of the country are now all dead.
To be precise, there was a horrific massacre.
Now people finally understand why the king was dragged to the bell tower like a dead dog and beheaded in public.
Just when the blood rain and corpses falling from the sky plunged the entire city into panic and chaos, a white mist suddenly appeared out of thin air and directly surrounded the entire city from the inside out.
Some people who wanted to rush out of the city gate found that as long as they got close, they would be forcibly pushed back by an invisible force.
Then Hansel's huge face that could cover the entire city appeared in the sky, and announced with a voice that reached straight to the soul: "From this moment on, this country belongs to me, and you are also included.
Kneel down now and swear allegiance to your new king!
Friendly reminder, never think of playing any tricks or escaping.
Because I can feel the thoughts in each of your minds and read the deepest secrets hidden in your memories.
And I have carved a mark on your souls.
As long as I am willing, no matter where I go to the ends of the world, I can harvest your souls with just a twitch of my fingers.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just like this..."
As the last word blurted out, Hansel suddenly turned his attention to several gorgeous carriages with noble coats of arms not far away.
In a blink of an eye!
The souls of everyone on the carriage were ripped out of their bodies and flew directly into his mouth screaming.
Especially the terrifying wailing sound made by chewing completely shattered the psychological defenses of these mortals who had never seen gods or divine powers.
No escape!
No resistance!
There are no self-proclaimed heroes who stand up and cry out that mankind will never be slaves!
Some are just terrible silences!
Driven by strong fear, the residents of the capital city of the Kingdom of Mitland knelt on the ground one after another, bowing their heads to this monster like a god and demon.
There is no doubt that they finally chose to surrender and surrender.
Because this is the true reaction of most ordinary people when they face the invasion and establishment of rule by a powerful foreign enemy.
As long as they can barely survive, no one will risk death and harm their families to fight.
What's more, the Kingdom of Mitland is still a traditional feudal country with no national consciousness at all.
Especially for civilians, whoever rules does not rule.
A ruler as powerful as a demon might be able to lead a country to prosperity, or even invade and plunder other countries to make itself richer and richer.
Seeing that the entire royal capital surrendered at his feet, Hansel quickly returned to the bell tower, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Look, I said it was easy.
Because in the face of absolute power, mortals will show their weak and compromising side.
Now you can select some knights and guards who have surrendered to us, and start building an army based on them.
Gather all adult men in the city who are over sixteen and under thirty-five.
We now need to form a strong army to face the Kusha Empire."
"You're going to mobilize all the young adults in the workforce?"
Mordred was slightly stunned.
Because this is really a bit too crazy, and will greatly reduce the efficiency of the entire society's production activities.
The Kingdom of Mitland is a typical agricultural and handicraft society. Young and middle-aged men account for a very high proportion of the labor force. Many heavy physical labors are simply not something that women can bear.
Especially in agriculture, once a large number of male laborers are lost, it means a reduction in production, and a reduction in food production means famine and death.
But Hansel grinned and responded: "That's right!
I want to turn this country into a big military camp!
A war machine completely subordinate to my will!
