Ge Da and Lin Xiao's death in battle caused a huge uproar. Everyone was stunned by the scene before them. Many of the higher-ups stared blankly at everything before them, feeling as though their consciousness had been frozen. There were no words to describe their feelings at all.
Many of them ran out in high spirits because during the expedition, the atmosphere in the City of Silver had become abnormally strange due to the lack of high-level combat strength.
Recently, there had been a lot of gathering of refugees. The peasants had become more and more unscrupulous. Wherever there was oppression, there would be resistance. This saying wasn't false at all. Even in the past, many refugees would protest when they didn't have enough to eat. However, what awaited them was bloody repression. Eating less was better than dying. The refugees at the bottom were the easiest to satisfy. They didn't need power, wealth, or even women. They only needed to make ends meet. To those at the bottom, food and clothing were enough to satisfy them.
But unfortunately, those pitiful people couldn't even get the most basic rights.
Those pitiful people didn't have the right to choose their own lives. In this apocalyptic world, they were like insects living in the shadows. They avoided the sunlight and lived in a cold environment!
But even so, the places where they lived would often be opened. The scorching sunlight would reflect on them and the scorching temperature would roast them into jerky until they were annihilated in this world.
This was the life of the people at the bottom. They had never truly had a destiny that belonged to them.
…
The situation had become a little strange. In the past, they only needed to execute a few people and the rest would retreat. But now, it was different. After several bloody repressions, the scene that the higher-ups had hoped for didn't appear. Instead, more refugees joined the resistance camp.
Those people held banners written in blood and gathered in the square brazenly. There were even quite a few leaders. This wasn't a good sign. They had just executed a leader of the [Resistance Army] not long ago, but this only treated the symptoms and not the root of the problem. The higher-ups knew that if this matter was allowed to continue, it wouldn't be long before a new leader appeared in this city.
One day, when the rage points were ignited, thousands of rebels would break through the streets and barge into the houses where the higher-ups lived. Just like how they robbed the people at the bottom, they would rob and kill.
In this situation, how could the higher-ups not be afraid? How could he remain calm?
They strengthened their own security and even increased the pressure on the people at the bottom. There was only one goal, and that was to wait for the day when the army returned.
But now …
When they heard that the fleet had returned, they were naturally the happiest group of people. They had finally released the pressure they had been under for a long time. They ran out as though they had gone mad. They swore that they would make those people pay the price. When the powerful professionals returned to the City of Silver, it would be the time for those bumpkins to die.
Ironically, the experts of the City of Silver had indeed returned, but only their heads had returned. When the densely packed heads landed together, the shock and horror formed were like sharp blades that instantly pierced through the hearts of the so-called upper echelons.
Those powerhouses were originally members of the upper echelons of the City of Silver. They had turned their powers into unbridled rights in the city. The so-called laws were only targeted at ordinary people like Liu Wei.
Even if he killed an ordinary person, he would only receive some symbolic punishment. However, compared to his life, the punishment was negligible.
And now, the strongest experts of the past had returned to the City of Silver in such a state. And the most shocking thing was that the two heads leading them were Ge Da and Lin Xiao! And beside them was a ferocious and terrifying dragon head!
After Lin Xiao died in battle, the dragon-blooded creatures scattered in all directions. Only the Magic Dragon from before attacked Order in a frenzied state. It even caused a battleship to sink in a fearless state, causing more than ten people to lose their lives. As a form of affirmation for the Magic Dragon, after its body was devoured by the Lie Demons, its head was placed on the deck beside Lin Xiao.
The Lie Demons became the biggest winners of this battle. Not only did they devour the extraterrestrial creatures, they also completely devoured the Magic Dragon's body. The excess energy caused it to feel dizzy. Every evolution of the Lie Demons was accompanied by an abnormally deep sleep. And now, the strength of the Lie Demons was already at the half-step Epic stage. The next time it woke up, it might be promoted to a true Epic expert.
By then, Chen Feng's team would be able to take another step forward!
Chen Feng stood on the side of the deck, looking down at the people standing on the shore. Fear, panic, confusion, and anger. At this moment, countless expressions were intertwined as they tried to digest everything they saw.
Chen Feng directly ignored those gazes. With his present strength, those people were merely some insignificant characters. Since things had reached this point, there was no point in pointless slaughter anymore. After all, they were no longer a threat to him.
However, some of them would still die. Food was scarce, and the weather was cold. According to the reports, the recent death rate in the City of Silver had broken through Order's limit by several times over the past year. The city was filled with anger, and they needed an outlet to vent their anger. And the so-called upper echelons were undoubtedly the best candidates.
Compared to being appointed as officials and continuing to abuse their power, death was the best ending for them.
"Everything will proceed according to plan. Capture all the people on the list, and then hold a grand trial!"
Similar to how the City of Silver had inserted spies into the order, a long time ago, a team had been lying in ambush in the City of Silver. They had been there specifically to gather the information Chen Feng needed. As for the name list, it was without a doubt the people at the peak of the City of Silver in the past.
They had directly or indirectly affected Chen Feng's right to rule. Therefore, they would become the main characters of this trial and receive the attention of everyone!
"Yes!"
Wei Xun nodded and asked in puzzlement, "Your Excellency, are we still keeping the City of Silver?"
Chen Feng shook his head and rejected him. "From the beginning of the war, I've never thought of keeping the City of Silver. Although one north and one south can form a horn, allowing us to better monitor the surrounding monster activity, this is the apocalypse. Splitting the troops in two places isn't as safe as being unified!
"After the trial is over, organize a ship to transport them. Other than the population, you are not allowed to bring anything unnecessary onto the ship. I want you to complete the migration as quickly as possible!"
"Yes, your subordinate understands!"
This wasn't the first time Wei Xun had done such a thing, so he naturally knew the steps of the migration. Therefore, he nodded in agreement and went to organize the specific matters of the gathering.
The fleet from Order didn't encounter any strong resistance. After all, after witnessing the tragic deaths of their leaders, it was an unimaginable nightmare for the City of Silver's garrison. They had long been intimidated by Order. Therefore, after half a day, the Order army led by Chen Feng broke through the gates of the City of Silver.
A faction that was on par with Order in the past came to an end in such a manner!
