Chapter 1344 Delusion
For a moment, there was deathly silence in the room.
After a few seconds, one of them said: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I can tell you the reason now, I."
"You don't have to say anymore," I interrupted: "You only have one chance. If you don't seize it, you won't get another chance. You are free now. You can speak freely or insult as much as you want. Do what you want and have a final showdown. Let’s party.”
"Keep an eye on them," I told the city lord. Then, I turned to the nobles and said, "Can you please lead the way again? I will lead a group of people over."
"Yes" the nobleman said respectfully.
After returning to the camp again, an hour has passed. The rebel camp has been fighting fiercely. The civil strife has escalated to a level that I can't even imagine. It is estimated that this battle will end on its own without us taking action.
He led a team of 100 people and came to the villa again, only to find that the outside of the room where the rebel leader was was blocked by a dozen guys with weapons, who were confronting the city lord in the room.
The reinforcements from the rebel leader came really quickly, but unfortunately it was already too late.
I gave the order, and the soldiers rushed out unexpectedly, killing all of the dozen or so people.
Then, I ordered my soldiers to take control of the entire villa. Then, I forced the rebel leader out of the villa, stood on the high platform, and announced loudly: "Your leader has been captured. If you continue to make unreasonable troubles as rebels, you will be punished." Ground kill!"
With a loud shout, the turbulent situation calmed down very quickly.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the rebel leader. Some eyes were full of disbelief, some were curious, and some were happy.
The elves can work hard for the master they recognize, but when they are sure that the master is finished, they will give up on their master as soon as possible - except for some guys with firm beliefs.
Except for a few guys who would rather die than surrender, the vast majority of the elves put down their weapons and automatically and consciously separated on both sides to let out those who did not cooperate.
Whether it is a human being or any other living creature, once isolated, he will appear stupid and helpless.
Although the dozens of isolated guys were holding weapons and pretending to be calm, it was obvious that they had lost their confidence.
Although I had set a one-hour limit before, in fact, facing the large number of elves who had just raised their hands to surrender, I still did not intend to take action against them. In any case, they had already surrendered. It would be easy to force them to act according to the regulations. Caused a second mutiny.
However, I will definitely not show mercy to the dozens of ignorant guys in front of me - you have reached this point and still refuse to give in. I really don’t know whether I should say you are stupid loyal or you are... brave.
After looking at the faces of these elves one by one, I ordered that the dozens of rebels who would rather die than obey should be killed on the spot.
When the butcher knife was swung down and blood splattered, I heard some people in the crowd on both sides calling out strange names heartbreakingly, while others were wailing the word "Dad" in pain. I even heard an old and... Helpless crying.
With a sigh, I ordered someone to escort the rebel leader back to the villa and wait for me to be punished.
After that, he opened the city gate and walked slowly towards the garrison not far away alone.
Along the way, the cries of children, the sobs of old people, and howls of despair echoed in my mind.
The moment I announced that the butcher's knife fell, the father lost his son, the wife lost her husband, and the child lost his father.
I know this is very cruel and even inhumane, but there is no humaneness in the face of royal power.
In order to maintain the dominance of the Fairy Queen and the Fairy Queen, I can only order the massacre, even if many people hate me, even if more people spurn me.
Who calls me a foreign elder?
Who told me to agree to the Fairy Queen?
Who told them to organize a rebellion?
Along the way, I kept swaying between self-blame and natural thoughts, like falling leaves in the wind.
Until I walked back to the camp, I still didn't wake up from the wavering hesitation.
The order to massacre the city was invalidated when the rebel forces collapsed.
The president of the Rose Legion branch of Violet City breathed a sigh of relief, the Lord of Ivy City breathed a sigh of relief, the Lord of Violet City also breathed a sigh of relief, and even the vast majority of the nobles and residents of the two cities breathed a sigh of relief.
However, I was the only one who was not relieved.
The experience of that night was like a stone weighing on my heart. Although it was not heavy, it was really awkward.
I reported the entire process to the Fairy Queen through the call crystal.
The Queen said that I have done a good job and have initially acquired the killing methods of those in power.
After hearing this, I felt no joy at all, so I told the Fairy Queen all my thoughts and feelings.
After hearing this, the Fairy Queen pondered for a moment and said: "There is no justice in this world. Whether you choose to kill the rebels or let them go depends entirely on the possible impact of this approach. Personally, I feel that if you kill them well, at least if you kill them, others will feel afraid and will be frightened by your methods, so they will not dare to set foot in the ranks of the rebels again. In this way, Moonlight City will also become stable. "
"That is to say, I did it, right?"
"At least with me, your approach is correct," the Fairy Queen affirmed.
"But why?" I asked in confusion: "Why do I feel so uncomfortable in my heart, and why do I often recall those heart-wrenching cries and calls in my mind?"
"I have had this feeling too," the Fairy Queen said, "That's because you killed someone who has no direct interest in you, so you feel guilty. This is understandable. When you are here, Over time, if you do this kind of thing a lot, you will gradually get used to it.”
"This kind of thing is done too often." I couldn't help but be horrified.
"I'm still busy here. If you have anything to say, we can talk back to the palace."
I responded and she hung up the crystal.
The rebel leader was not brought back to the capital, Moonlight City, for trial. Instead, he chose a darker place for torture.
Boss Rennes spent more than ten minutes getting him to open his mouth, and another three hours to record everything he said.
At the end, Boss Renn marked this comment: He is a poor man who was deceived by authoritarian ideas. Driven by strong desire, he forgot his identity.
It seems that this guy who dares to challenge the Queen's regime is just a delusional person.
Except for the leader, the top rebel cadres are all a group of ordinary nobles who think they have outstanding abilities and are unwilling to be inferior to others. They were bewitched by the leader, thinking that they could become an independent city, and swept the entire Moonlight City with rapid development. Eventually he became a top nobleman like a city lord.
Although these guys are not as ambitious as the leader, they are just like the leader, they are all delusional dreamers.
