At night.
From afar, the city built on the cliff was like the light of dawn in the darkness.
Tens of thousands of magic lamps were hung on the trees on both sides of the streets, on the city walls, and even on some unique buildings.
Some rich commoners had even bought some magic lamps and hung them on their second-floor windows. It was obvious that they wanted to show off.
The taverns were filled with drunkards, and the brothels were filled with men. When they met their acquaintances, they would reveal a proud and satisfied expression to show that they were awesome and persistent.
As for the casinos?
There was an endless stream of people who gambled with small amounts of money. Regardless of whether there were too few games in the casinos, their goal was to earn money. They did not care about the games.
As the City of Dawn only closed the city gates at night, there was no curfew. Hence, many commoners came out at night. It was impossible for them not to return home at midnight …
But in the middle of the night.
No one knew that the three military camps at the edge of the city walls in the old district had already prepared for battle. The two military camps in the new district were also preparing for battle.
However, they could not wear armor for this operation. Otherwise, it would cause too much commotion. Furthermore, there were not many soldiers on duty. Almost all the soldiers wore casual clothes.
But the commander of the Glory Legion was ghastly pale. He looked at the 500 spies who had been tied up in their sleep.
At this moment.
In the training ground of the military camp, 500 naked spies were tied up. Their mouths were covered as they knelt on the ground.
The soldiers who saw this scene were all shocked and unable to calm down.
Although this was an order from the Lord, this large-scale operation to find the spies still puzzled many soldiers. They could not believe that their former comrades were spies, and there were so many of them …
Especially when this was the Glory Legion …
The first legion of the City of Dawn …
"Legion commander … this … how is this possible?" Someone looked in disbelief at the "comrades" who were kneeling on the ground. He vaguely remembered that they had fought and trained together. Some of them had even been his blades. How could he believe this?
"Anlori, Jack, Klisia …" A small team leader called out their names. He looked at the deputy legion commander with an ugly expression. He gulped and said, "Could it be … that the Lord … made a mistake? They …"
Legion Commander Glory was a human with a Grandmaster bloodline, Level 58.
Julio also clenched his fists. He looked at the soldiers who were discussing among themselves and suddenly shouted, "All of you, shut up! I know you are all confused, but the Lord will personally give you an explanation. Do you still want to be punished by military law?"
"Louis, take those brothers to where they should go. The rest of you, stay here and don't move!" As soon as Julio finished speaking, the other soldiers also knew that the Vice Legion Commander was angry. They instantly got into formation and stood neatly.
However, there were some empty seats that were not filled …
Because they did not believe that those brothers were spies …
When the 500 or so spies who were kneeling on the ground saw this scene, many of their eyes were already filled with tears. But they hated it. They were really spies. They came with a mission, but they never thought that they would slowly become one with it.
Many people even thought that they were part of the City of Dawn.
A member of the Honor Army …
Only now did they realize that traitors were not fit to become soldiers of the Honor Legion …
The execution of 3,500 spies would cause a bloodbath in the City of Dawn.
Or rather …
They would all be beheaded at the same time!
There was no chance for them to send a message.
And at that moment.
It was officially 12 o 'clock at night.
In the few seconds that the clock tower's bell rang throughout the entire City of Dawn.
William did not personally preside over this execution.
Lautner, Alec, Eric, and Odom were all sent out by him. If they could not complete this simple task, they would not be able to live in the future …
He was more concerned about the spies in the army that he had chosen …
The main gate of the military camp opened.
Countless gazes looked over.
They wanted the tall and handsome man to give a good explanation …
Julio silently stood beside him, not saying a word.
William surveyed the soldiers of the Honor Legion and said in a deep voice, "Untie the ropes on their mouths!"
The ropes were untied very quickly.
But no one dared to shout. They lowered their heads and looked at the ground. They did not dare to look at William's eyes.
"Raise your heads!"
An angry roar reverberated throughout the training ground.
Swish!
Whether they were kneeling or standing, as if they had received a military order, they quickly raised their heads and looked at the Lord who had led them to glory.
"Tell me, did I wrongly accuse you, or are you spies from the Iron Nation?"
The entire training ground was silent.
Many naked men kneeling on the ground had tears streaming down their faces. But they did not dare to say a word. They only sobbed.
"How many times have you cried? Tell me, why?"
William suddenly roared ferociously. But everyone could see that he raised his head forcefully, as if he was trying to hold back his tears.
All sorts of actions …
The 500 elite soldiers could only lower their heads even more.
When they saw this scene.
The other soldiers were not fools. They started to understand that they were not wrongly accused. Many of them even scolded themselves for daring to doubt the Lord's orders …
But they could not imagine how heartless a person had to be to become a spy for the Iron Nation.
It had to be known.
Whether it was the Iron Nation or the Black Lava Nation.
Whether it was the commoners, soldiers, or other personnel who worked for the nation, their treatment was very ordinary …
Even if the elite soldiers were treated better, compared to the City of Dawn, it was like comparing a stinky stone in a toilet pit to a pearl …
The blissful life in the City of Dawn could be seen just by looking at the people who had become commoners from the City of Dawn …
William scanned the faces of each of them.
He used his insight one by one.
Gradually.
The orange name was no longer orange.
Instead, it was a deeper shade of green …
He took another deep breath and said sorrowfully, "You can leave. I'll pretend that I don't have brothers like you!"
"This strand of hair that has never been cut since birth. I'll kill you!" William picked up a long and narrow sword and grabbed the long hair draped over his back. He was about to cut it.
"My Lord, don't. You can't do this!" A young soldier knelt and moved forward. His face was full of tears as he shouted.
Because they all knew that the Elves would not cut their hair …
Because they all knew that the Elves' hair was like their own limbs …
Had anyone seen an Elf with short hair?
What was this?
What kind of friendship was this? The Lord had treated them like his own limbs. But they were going to betray their Lord because of the Iron Nation? Betray their elder brother?
"My Lord, kill us!!" The soldiers lowered their heads in pain.
"Legion Commander, we deserve to die. Please kill us." Some of the warriors closed their eyes, waiting for glory to descend upon them.
"My Lord, we deserve to die. Please don't do this!" Five hundred people knelt on the ground and cried out in pain.
But William's sword slashed down!
Her long, flowing hair instantly became short.
The soldiers of the legion clenched their fists in pain …
As for the five hundred people, they were already sobbing and lying paralyzed on the ground.
William's hair was blown away by the wind. It slowly fell from William's hand to the ground.
He looked at his hand in a daze. No one knew how much pain he was feeling.
But their Lord closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he shouted, "Don't you want to leave? Quickly crawl back to where you should be standing. Why are you still kneeling? "
"Yes, my Lord." A group of tightly bound fellows jumped, jumped, crawled, and wiggled like earthworms. It was unknown where they got their strength from, but they jumped, jumped, crawled, and twisted like earthworms …
Meanwhile.
The bell rang.
The greatest hidden danger in the City of Dawn had been solved in the most perfect way!
