"Your Majesty, please listen to the cries of the people. The situation has become very serious!"
The official kneeling under the throne looked at the young man sitting on the throne and cried out bitterly.
"You've been deceived by the minister! If this continues, the Empire will collapse completely! "
However, in the face of the official's shouts, the young man sitting on the throne was completely unmoved.
"Interior Official Shao 'er, I sentence you to death for criticizing my policies and delaying the execution of government affairs."
"What?!"
Hearing this, the internal affairs officer kneeling below raised his head in horror and looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, you …"
"Men, drag him away!"
At the young Emperor's command, guards quickly walked over and pinned the internal affairs official to the ground.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! You've been deceived by the minister, Your Majesty! Please wake up a little! Your Majesty! Your Majesty —! "
Amidst the screams, the internal affairs officer was dragged out by the guards. Shortly after, the door was slammed shut again.
As for the other officials in the hall, they kept quiet out of fear and did not say a word.
"This is our goal this time."
Fangzheng closed the 'Declaration' and gazed at the assassins. Up until now, there were almost 10 assassins who had joined the Brotherhood. Just like Iyeras and Shao, the rest of them were also victims of the nobles and officials. Most of them were females …
Although there were only two blonde young ladies, it was enough.
"Our goal this time is to save Interior Official Shao 'er and his family. He will be sentenced to death for criticizing the Emperor. His family will also be captured and enslaved. Shao 'er and his family will be publicly executed in the square. What we need to do is to save them and make them leave the Imperial Capital. At the same time, we need to kill the executioners. "
"Teacher, why do we have to save them?"
At this moment, another assassin asked softly.
"Those officials are the Emperor's lackeys. They aren't worth saving!"
"There are also officials who are considerate of the people. Besides, in the current situation, they still dare to criticize the incompetent Emperor. This proves their courage and determination."
Fangzheng gestured with his hand.
"Not only do we need to eliminate evil, but we also need to uphold justice. Those who serve the people shouldn't die here. At the very least, we can let them live and they can serve this country in the future."
"So when do we have to wait?"
"When we kill the Emperor."
Everyone sucked in a deep breath of cold air as Fangzheng finished his sentence.
In the Northern Empire, the concept of supremacy of imperial authority was deeply ingrained in the hearts of the people. Even now, most of the people were complaining about the Emperor's ministers and not the Emperor himself. Therefore, everyone was stunned when Fangzheng said that he wanted to kill the Emperor.
"Are … Are we really going to do this? Teacher? The Emperor has been deceived … "
Sayou felt uneasy, but all Fangzheng did was give her a glance.
"So what you're saying is that as long as we kill the ministers, the Emperor will wake up overnight and become a good Emperor who loves his people, instead of going crazy and seeking revenge on us?"
"…"
Shao turned agape, but she didn't say a word. Just as Fangzheng said, it was basically impossible.
"But isn't the Emperor still a child?"
"He's the Emperor. He has to be responsible for everything since he's sitting on the throne. That's why his ending is destined unless he suddenly wakes up and becomes a different person. But we all know that's impossible."
Fangzheng stood to his feet.
"Let's begin. Shao, you'll lead a team to the execution ground with me. Iyas, you'll lead another team to the Internal Affairs Officer's house. Remember, move quickly and follow the plan!"
"…"
No one said anything. All the Assassins nodded slightly. Not long after, the entire room was empty.
The noon sun shone on the square in front of them, but the crowd gathered in the square did not say a word. Their eyes were filled with horror and fear as they stared at the prisoners in prison uniforms and shackles. The huge square at this moment was as lifeless as a graveyard.
"Internal Affairs Officer Shao Er disobeyed the Emperor's order and was sentenced to death with his family!"
The head judge raised the document in his hand and roared angrily. Hearing his roar, the people below did not say a word. They looked at each other uneasily. In the crowd, two figures stared at this scene and clenched their fists tightly.
"Damn it …"
Mine, the girl with pink double ponytails, clenched her fists and stared at the people who were put on the execution platform in front of her. If she had Teigu with her, Mine would want to save these people immediately!
"Don't be agitated, Mine."
The blonde woman, Leonie, held Mine's shoulder.
"There are a lot of guards here. It's impossible for us to succeed. Just wait. One day, we will overthrow the Empire's rule. By then, everything will be fine."
"Ugh … Yes …"
Hearing Leonet's answer, Mine was silent for a moment and lowered her head weakly.
At this moment, on the execution platform, the head judge was still reading the content of the execution document loudly.
"No one can disobey the Emperor!"
No one noticed that a figure with a white cloak and a hood quietly walked out of the crowd. He stretched out his hand and slowly pushed the people next to him. Those people didn't seem to notice these people at all. They just looked up at the judge and the prisoners who were about to be executed. Even the people who were pushed away didn't have any reaction.
"Those who talk about the Emperor's policy should be executed!"
The guard walking on the roof trembled and then fell backward. At the same time, an assassin in a black robe appeared behind him, grabbed the guard's body and hid him in the shadow of the roof. Then, she leaned against the wall, raised the crossbow in her hand and aimed at the execution platform.
"This is the result of disobeying the Emperor's order!"
The judge pointed at the prisoners next to him again. At the same time, those soldiers who maintained order in the first row didn't notice that a figure had appeared behind them.
"Prepare for execution!"
Along with the judge's voice, at the next moment, several rotating silver-white balls were suddenly thrown out from the crowd. The next moment, they suddenly exploded.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In an instant, a thick gray fog erupted and shrouded the entire execution platform. In the face of this sudden scene, the onlookers immediately screamed and ran in all directions.
"Enemy — —!"
Sensing that something was amiss, the guards immediately drew their weapons. But before they could do anything, sharp blades pierced their hearts and slit their throats. Whistling arrows descended from the sky and penetrated their heads. Shortly after, only muffled groans were left in the execution platform.
What exactly is going on?
Shao Er, who was shackled, gazed at his surroundings in horror. He couldn't see anything and didn't even know what was going on. His son was also frightened, huddling close to him without uttering a word. However, at this moment, Shao Er suddenly heard a low groan. In the next moment, as the fog shook, a corpse suddenly appeared from the fog and collapsed on the ground in front of Shao Er.
It was the judge.
At this moment, his eyes were wide open. He held the Emperor's Order with one hand and clutched his throat with the other. Blood flowed continuously from the gaps between his fingers. His eyes were lifeless.
What exactly is going on?
At this moment, Shao Er was dumbfounded. But at the next moment, he felt someone grabbing onto his shackles and pulling him and his son forward. His figure was faintly discernible in the gray fog, and it was almost impossible to see him clearly.
"W-Who are you?"
Shao Er stared at the figure and asked. However, the figure didn't respond. At the next moment, Shao Er suddenly lost his balance and fell headfirst. However, he didn't fall to the ice-cold ground. Instead, he felt as though he had fallen onto a pile of soft straw. Before he could react, a pile of straw appeared and covered him up.
Shao Er didn't know what happened next. He only heard the galloping of the carriage and the sound of the wheels turning. At this moment, apart from hugging his son tightly, he didn't know what to do at all. He could feel that someone was sitting not far away from him, but he didn't dare to say anything, nor did he dare to make a sound.
After a few moments, the carriage came to a halt. Then, Shao Er heard a knock on the carriage and the straw was moved away. He opened his eyes and looked around.
"This is …"
Shao Er turned his head and saw that they had already arrived at the edge of a wild forest outside the Imperial Capital. There was no one in the carriage, but beside the forest, several familiar figures were standing there. They were Shao Er's wife and family!
"Darling!"
At this moment, Shao Er couldn't help but dash forward and hug his wife.
"How did this happen …?"
At the same time, in the alley beside the execution ground, Mine and Leonie stared blankly at the execution ground. When the smoke bomb exploded before, they noticed that the situation was not right. As assassins of the night attack, Mine and Leona naturally knew how to protect themselves. They quickly left the crowd and hid in the alley next to them. But even so, they didn't leave. Instead, they stared at the execution ground to see what exactly happened.
But when the smoke finally dispersed, everything that they saw left them flabbergasted.
Apart from the corpses of the soldiers, there was no one else on the execution ground.
"This … What's going on? How did they do it? "
Looking at this scene, Mine was stunned and couldn't understand it at all. The smoke was so thick that they couldn't see the situation clearly. But now, it seemed that someone had released the smoke and killed the soldiers effortlessly. Not only that, but they also successfully rescued the internal affairs officer?
More importantly, how did they kill the soldiers?
Mine and Leonie didn't hear any sounds of battle earlier.
They didn't even sense any murderous intent!
"Let's get out of here!"
Leonie also had the same doubts. But now, she had no intention of investigating because she heard the sound of galloping and shouting. It was apparent that the incident at the execution ground had alarmed the Imperial Capital Garrison.
"We'll talk about the rest when we get back!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Leonet's answer, Mine nodded. She turned her head again and glanced at the execution ground, then quickly left.
But at this moment, a question arose in Mine's mind.
And that was … Who did it?!
