Chapter 405 Firelight
The imperial capital of the frost.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The former imperial capital Molinco was brightly lit at night, the streets were filled with merchants and tourists, and dancers from various taverns. The whole city revealed a kind of luxury and prosperity.
But today it is also brightly lit, but the original crystal stone light from the street shop has become a "torch" engraved with light techniques held by the city guards.
Pedestrians walking on the street also hid in the houses tonight and did not dare to take to the streets.
The entire street has long been occupied by the city guards fully armed in armor.
Baron Gologan was a member of the City Guard, and his noble birth allowed him to occupy a commander seat in the City Guard.
"This is the first martial law in the imperial city in more than ten years."
Baron Gologen walked on the streets of Molinco on horseback, lined by city guards holding 'torks'.
"After all, Prince Sheil not only betrayed our country and surrendered to the demons, but even tried to assassinate His Majesty the King. These crimes were enough to send him to the guillotine," said an adjutant beside Baron Gologgan.
Baron Gologan listened to the lieutenant's angry tone and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he had to swallow it back.
He actually knew the inside story of all this a long time ago, and this is a secret that is enough to make him lose his life!
That is, the king is likely to be disguised by the judges of the Holy Kingdom!
So Baron Gologan also knew clearly that what Prince Sheil did was not "betrayal", but to save the country.
The first premise is that no one will believe his nonsense, and the second is that the imperial capital of this country has long been controlled by the judges.
"Baron!"
The three people suddenly walked out of the street, and their appearance interrupted Baron Gologan's thoughts.
"Are those missionaries saying true? His Highness Sheil became the devil's minion?"
One of the civilian women came to Baron Gologan at the risk of being trampled by a horse, and it seemed that she was a loyal supporter of His Highness Sheil.
Many people in the Frost Country are proud of this young prince, not only his personal charm, but also his superhuman talent and legendary experience recognized by the Frost Spirit.
Baron Gologan once admired the young prince too, but... he was too reckless!
The baron looked at the civilian's begging eyes and gritted his teeth to tell the truth to the other party.
"Prince Sheil has defected to the demon clan, he is very dangerous!"
When Baron Gologen finished saying this, he felt as if he had used all his strength. Seeing the civilian woman's eyes dimming as if she was saying "How is it possible", his heart became very heavy.
What a humiliation...
Baron Gologan held the horse's reins tightly, and he could not confirm whether the judges were secretly watching him.
If he leaked these secrets, Baron Gologan himself would not live long, and even his family would be implicated.
Baron Gologen glanced around him and the martial law had already caused the entire capital to be in panic.
In addition to the civilians hiding in the house, many missionaries were shouting something on the streets.
"The demon is lurking in this city! Please go to the church, we can give you shelter!"
The Kingdom of Holy Church has established several churches in the imperial capital. Some of the civilians in the imperial capital believed in the God of Holy Light under the missionary of the missionaries.
The news that the prince surrendered to the devil had long been spreading in the imperial capital.
Baron Gologan can only do one thing now, that is, Prince Sheil has escaped from the capital.
But his last glimmer of hope was shattered ruthlessly.
"Baron Gologan! We have found the traces of the demon! Please lead the troops to the South Wall immediately!"
A soldier from the city guard rode his horse to Baron Gologgen and informed Baron Gologgen's troops of a message.
Have you been discovered? The South City Wall...that is, you can escape from the imperial city just one step away?
Baron Gologan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, but he still obeyed the orders conveyed by the commander, immediately waved the reins held in his hand, and led his soldiers to the south wall.
When Baron Gologen led his troops to the bottom of the city wall, thousands of soldiers had gathered around the city wall.
They held the 'tork' for lighting in their hands, and the primordial stones emitting bright light on the 'tork' gathered into a river.
Baron Gologan rushed to the front of the team with a last glimmer of hope. In his imagination, so long was enough for Prince Sheil to escape from the south wall.
Unfortunately, when Baron Gologan saw Prince Sheil above the southern wall, the last glimmer of hope in his heart was instantly extinguished, but the next second his breath paused slightly.
The prince stood above the city wall in silver-white knight armor. Facing thousands of soldiers who had surrounded her, Sheil's expression was very calm, as if these soldiers were not coming to grab her and send her to the guillotine, but came to greet her triumphantly.
"The devil is there!"
Someone in the army shouted, and the inscription magic that could cast light was cast out by the caster of the army and illuminated the prince.
"The whole army is ready for combat!"
The commander from another legion shouted, the soldiers had taken out their crossbows, and the caster also took out their magic wands.
Baron Gologan had no choice but to draw out his sword and try to give the same order, but his words choked in his throat and could not speak anyway.
Run away quickly! Baron Gologan kept shouting in his heart.
Sheil only had to jump off the city wall behind to escape from the imperial capital, but the young prince did not choose to do so.
"My people."
Her gray pupils glanced at the soldiers who took out the arrow crossbow below and pointed it at her, and the cold voice echoed in everyone's ears.
As soon as Shayre finished speaking, Baron Gologan heard someone give the order to shoot an arrow.
Hundreds of arrows cut through the air and shot towards Shayer standing at the top of the city wall. A transparent ice wall rose in front of Shayer.
But the ice wall could not stop the arrows attached with magic inscriptions. When the ice wall was shattered, Sheil drew out the long sword on his waist and instantly cut off more than ten arrows that shot at her.
"You! When will you be deceived by those despicable guys in the Holy Kingdom?" Sheil's voice brought cold chills into the hearts of everyone present.
Baron Gologan listened to Prince Sheil's words and felt as if his heart was caught by one hand.
He wanted to respond to Sheil's question, but cowardice and the cost of failure locked his throat.
The soldiers around seemed to be shaken a little.
"Don't be fascinated by the devil's words! His Majesty the King has issued an order, and he must catch that person..." A legion commander loudly reminded the soldiers that this was an order from the king.
A voice overshadowed his voice.
Baron Gologgen widened his eyes and stared at the South City Wall. A huge "painting" appeared on the wall of the South City Wall. Baron Gologgen recognized the scenery in this moving "painting", which was the city "Halthsburg" around the Barrier Fortress.
"The haze has shrouded our country!"
“The judges have the ability to transform into the appearance of others.”
"Even the patriarch of the White Frost Deer family was replaced by the judge?"
"If the Holy Kingdom makes a mistake, if it makes a mistake, it must be punished, severely punished!"
"I will personally lead the army to send the judges who have made mistakes to the guillotine."
The video played on the city wall is a very short edit of the documentary "Frost: The Civil Chaos", but the content of the editing directly shows the audience what is happening in this country and what Sheil is preparing to do!
After the projection of this short film appeared on the city wall, the soldier who was loading the crossbow forgot his work and looked at the content on it in a daze. Even if the commander next to him roared in his voice, it would have no effect.
The loud sound even attracted the people around them, who looked at the "paintings" appearing on the south city wall.
The content of the short film continues to the last scene, and the most detailed scene is that Prince Sheil is taken back to the main hall for interrogation, until he pierces the king's chest with a long sword.
When the blade pierced the king's chest and the king's appearance gradually changed to another person's appearance, Baron Gologan felt his breathing pause, and the soldiers around him also fell into a state of crash.
The air instantly became silent, and this "painting" in less than three minutes quickly disappeared.
When all this was over, Sheil was still standing above the city wall. Her eyes glanced past the soldiers below. Sheil could feel that the soldiers looked at her completely differently.
"His Majesty, the king we respect, has been replaced by the despicable judge!" Sheil shouted loudly, "I cannot forgive the crimes they have committed! Can you bear it too?!"
No one speaks, and the weak soldiers have no right to speak out on this matter, and they have no idea who they should believe.
If they choose to stand on Prince Sheil now, then it is very likely that they will become sinners who betray the country and be sent to the guillotine together with Prince Sheil.
Baron Gologan's hand holding the reins was white, and his throat, which was locked by cowardice, was finally filled with courage at this moment.
The baron raised his sword and shouted out the words he had accumulated in his heart with all his strength.
"For the sake of Your Highness the Prince!"
"For the sake of Your Highness the Prince!"
The moment Baron Gologen raised his sword high, the soldiers holding the "torch" around him also shouted loudly.
The sound began to spread, and the people watching by the window poured their voices into the wave.
Chapter completed!
