The clan leaders all stood up, expressing their stance. Myr, caught in the middle, could only choose to stay by Hala's side. She had no other choice. The humans of the Wussen Empire didn't have much authority. After all, this was an empire founded by the Demon King.
As for the beastman Zeba, he walked over to Reina's side, standing with the elves.
They were all outsiders. To the Wussen Empire, the beastmen were both neighbors and threats. Their armies were very powerful, twenty times colder than the Wussen Empire's. In addition, there weren't many beastmen in the Wussen Empire. They couldn't possibly compete with the elder races for positions.
As for Reina, although Hala knew that it was very likely that she was Richard's disciple, so what? She was a human. Although Hala had previously had a good impression of her, that was only due to her respect for Richard. Now, she viewed her as an enemy, an enemy who wanted to break her peace.
The elves didn't even need to be mentioned. They had never considered themselves to be part of the Wussen Empire. The Demon King had lent them a helping hand in their time of need, and had even generously given them a portion of the Wussen Empire's forests to settle down in. Even the World Tree that they relied on had been planted by Richard.
They owed the Wussen Empire far more than they could repay the Wussen Empire. In addition, after the Demon King had fallen, they had immediately drawn a line between themselves and the Wussen Empire, causing the people of the Wussen Empire to be furious.
If these three wanted to stop her, it would be impossible.
Hala thought to herself. Thus, she wasn't worried. Instead, she was even more calm. Reina's appearance was within her expectations. Unfortunately, she had chosen the worst option.
"Everyone, please be at ease. We haven't been attacked."
Hala said loudly. She waved her hand, and the guards who had hurried over raised their weapons. They did a very good job, quickly surrounding the intruders in front of the crowd.
Everyone looked at the stage. They did not know what had happened, nor did they recognize the white-haired human in front of them. They only thought that she had broken the order of the trial and was at the peak of her anger.
"You must be very curious about who she is. You definitely didn't expect that this white-haired human is Lord Demon King's disciple. That's right, he has a human disciple. Just like the traitor she is protecting, Lord Demon King once imparted precious knowledge to them. Now, I want to ask her a question. Reina, why did you do this? "
Hala questioned Reina.
Reina could feel the hostility of the crowd. They were looking at her with fear and anger. Bai Ling in her arms made her the target of public criticism. Although Hala might not harm her, she really wanted Bai Ling's life.
Perhaps Bai Ling really was the Queen Mother. She had almost killed Reina in the past. Reina still had lingering fears about this. But she realized that she did not hate her. Now that she had become like this, Reina could not bear to see her burn to death.
"She has already received her punishment. This is definitely not the state she wanted. She is no longer the Queen Mother of the past. There is no way for her to return to her original state."
"How can you be so sure that she won't return to her original state? Perhaps she was only injured. In a few days, she will return to being that terrifying assassin. As I see it, only death can atone for her wrongdoings. This is also for the sake of protecting the citizens of the Wussen Empire."
Hala's words gained the approval of the majority.
"Right! Kill her! "
"We definitely can't let her live!"
Someone threw a stone onto the stage, but when it was twenty centimeters away from Reina and Hala, it was deflected away by a force. Suddenly, Reina stood up. She used a rag to wrap around Bai Ling, making her stand in front of the crowd. She lowered her head, trembling.
"Take a good look at her. Is she the Queen Mother you know? No, she is incomplete! The fact that she is still alive is already a miracle. If she could recover, she would not have been captured by you and me. Take a good look. Do you really want to burn her to death? "
Reina asked loudly.
"You have been tricked by her!"
"She is a shapeshifter! She can freely change her form! "
"No! Her subordinates may be shapeshifters, but she will never have a second face. Dare I ask, has anyone ever seen her second face? At least, I have not seen it when we were marching! "
At this moment, the beastman Zeba roared. Beastmen's voices were extremely loud. This was because when they commanded their armies, they relied on their voices to give orders. His voice alone was able to drown out the voices of so many people. But this was of no use. Rage and fear affected everyone's emotions. The scene became chaotic, and the crowd began to push and shove. This was the sign of a riot.
"Right, she once protected us!"
"But she betrayed us! She is a traitor! "
"Perhaps this is the enemy's scheme. She did not betray us! She was only framed! "
A second voice suddenly appeared in the crowd. Hala quickly understood that there were shapeshifters among them. Even though she had already ordered the Queen Mother's subordinates to be expelled, there were still people who had disguised themselves very well.
If this continued, there would be a riot and bloodshed. When that time came, she would have no choice but to order the soldiers to suppress the riot. This was the last thing she wanted to happen. She definitely would not let this place be stained with blood.
"All of you, stop right there! Quickly stop! "
Hala found that she could no longer control the situation. The guards could not stop the people who were a hundred times more than them. Just as the crowd was about to fall into chaos and trample on each other, suddenly, a loud sound came from the sky.
Two loud bangs. Everyone was frightened by this terrifying sound, and their hearts thumped.
They looked up at the sky and saw that the two statues guarding the city had suddenly moved. They were like guardian deities. When Wusen was established, the Demon King had summoned two stone giants. But ever since the Demon King defeated the Boar King, they had not moved. They sat there like two statues. But now, they had moved. After so many years, why did they suddenly appear at this time?
Soon, everyone found the reason. Reina's eyes were emitting a blue light. There was a spinning magic array above her head. One of the stone giants stretched out its hand towards the square. Suddenly, as if a dark cloud had floated over, the square instantly darkened. A huge arm stretched out from the city gate. Reina floated up, hugging Bai Ling, and flew onto the stone giant's hand.
Everyone was stunned. She had awakened the giant!
This was not difficult to do. Reina was very familiar with her master's magic. She had already learned how to control these puppets from the black magic book. But she did not have her master's ability to create these puppets that could move freely.
Everyone looked up at her. Most of them were still doubtful of her identity, but now, everyone seemed to understand that she was really that lord's disciple.
