"We are here for nothing but justice!" Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted loudly, echoing throughout the execution ground. People were shocked when they heard the words.
They are here just for justice!
On the execution ground, King Beigong sneered, and even King Nalan looked down upon him.
"justice!"
"You want justice? Strength, power, this is justice. Go away, disturb the execution ground, delay the execution, and you will be convicted!" King Beigong yelled angrily, extremely arrogant.
"conviction!"
"Ha ha!"
"Our iron-blooded army has defended the border for the empire and has made countless sacrifices over the years. The general has dedicated his entire life to the border city. General Liu is Liu Chenyi, a sharpshooter who was once as famous as the Demon Sword, the Iron-Handed Demon, and Shura.
The people of the world have been guarding the frontier for decades! Only then did martial arts go to waste!"
"Now we have ended up like this."
"We only want justice, what's wrong with that!" Mu Qingkuang shouted. The purpose of their coming here today is to prevent the execution.
"You are provoking the royal family. You are not frivolous. You want to die!" Nalan Duan said coldly.
"It doesn't matter if you die!"
"Young Marshal Wuchen once said that death is heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather!"
"If our death can exchange for General Liu's life, then ten thousand deaths will be enough!"
"Nalan Duan, do you think that what happened in Border City can be wiped out with just a few words of yours? General Liu is not guilty!"
"Presumptuous!" Nalan Duan immediately interrupted their words, with a fierce look in his eyes: "Liu Chenyi's crime was determined by the royal family!"
"Do you want to say that the royal family is at fault and that you want to resist the empire!" Nalan Duan shouted, his face twisted. Only those who have been there know what happened in Border City, but no one will tell!
Because this is a tacit agreement that has been reached a long time ago.
"King Nalan!"
"Back off!" Just when Mu Qingkuang and the others were angry, Liu Chenyi shouted, making the 20,000 troops dare not say anything.
"General."
"I, Liu Chenyi, have no regrets!"
"General Liu, please." Nalan Duan snorted coldly, but said to Liu Chenyi.
Under everyone's attention, Liu Chenyi walked step by step towards the King-Slaying Platform.
Each step on the bloody staircase is like death. This so-called King-Slaying Platform is specially designed for the princes and dignitaries of the Tianfu Empire. Anyone with a high status in the empire who commits a crime will be sentenced to death again without mercy.
The blood-colored stairs are formed by the solidification of blood that has passed through the years. Over time, they become increasingly brighter and redder.
At this moment, the area around the execution ground was already crowded with people. The sea of people was so vast and dense that it was impossible to see the end. The Imperial Banner Army was strictly guarding the formation, and they were all filled with the intention of killing.
Mu Qingkuang stared at Liu Chenyi walking towards the King-Slaying Platform, with a hint of determination flashing in his eyes.
When the crowd around them saw Liu Chenyi's back, they all sighed.
Who would have thought that the undefeated general Liu Chenyi, who was so famous in the Tianfu Empire, would end up like this today.
But even when he was walking to the execution platform, Liu Chenyi's eyes were still extremely calm. He, Liu Chenyi, was not guilty and felt no guilt.
"Liu Chenyi, what else do you have to say?" Nalan Duan said coldly. In his opinion, letting Liu Chenyi speak now is just an insult to him.
Liu Chenyi said nothing and stood there quietly.
Nalan Duan snorted coldly: "Liu Chenyi, you colluded with Mo Yue to fight for power and gain, resulting in the death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and damage to the three armies. However, you have contributed to the empire in the end. His Majesty will grant you a glorious death because of your hard work and merits."
"King Beigong, King Moon Wolf, should you two do it, or should I do it myself?"
If he is sentenced to death, it will definitely arouse the resentment of the people, and too severe torture will also disrupt the morale of the military.
Therefore, Liu Chenyi's death will be executed by someone with high authority in the empire, so that Liu Chenyi can die with dignity!
Now, King Beigong and King Yuelang will naturally not compete with King Nalan for credit, saying that King Nalan can take action.
Below, the Imperial War God Zhan Batian stared at everything in front of him. Watching Liu Chenyi walk up to the King-Slaying Platform, Zhan Batian said slightly: "General Liu, I respect you for this glass of wine!"
After saying that, he handed over a glass of wine. Liu Chenyi took the wine and drank it all in one gulp: "Good wine!"
"General, let's toast you too!" Tens of thousands of iron-blooded generals took out their wine jars one after another, as if they were practicing for Liu Chenyi, as if they were saying goodbye to themselves.
"Brothers!"
Liu Chenyi picked up the wine glass, but was speechless, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Go to the guillotine!"
King Nalan personally operated the knife, sharpening the beheading knife. People looked at this scene and their blood was boiling. There were even many border people present, who knelt on the ground and kept begging.
Liu Chenyi walked onto the guillotine.
Such a scene made the Jagged Army excited, with tears in his eyes: "General."
Mu Qing Kuang, a generation of unyielding warriors, could not help but shed tears at this moment.
Liu Chenyi raised his head, and before putting his head into the guillotine, he grinned: "I, Liu Chenyi, am innocent and have no regrets!"
"Ten years of life and death are boundless. If you don't think about it, you will never forget it!"
"I, Liu Chenyi, have a clear conscience!" Perhaps because he had a premonition of his own death, Liu Chenyi's eyes became calmer.
"If these are your last words, that's enough!"
The long knife fell.
At this moment, suddenly, a green power bloomed, the vines flickered, and actually bound King Nalan's arms.
"General!"
"My iron-blooded army has fought countless battles for the empire and almost died. We dedicated ourselves to the empire and died. But now, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are buried in the frontier, hundreds of thousands of people have their families destroyed, and they still want to slander the general and convict you, saying
You are treason!"
"How can I turn a blind eye to my iron-blooded soldier!"
As soon as Mu Qingkuang's words fell, the 20,000 iron-blooded troops burst out with strong murderous intent, blasted out their weapons, and bound King Nalan tightly with their martial spirits.
Afterwards, several generals of the Jagged Army climbed onto the guillotine, guarding Liu Chenyi on the left and right.
"asshole!"
"Mu Qingkuang, are you going to betray the empire for Liu Chenyi?" King Beigong scolded angrily.
Nalan Duan's eyes were even colder: "Mu Qingkuang, do you know what you are doing now?"
"Do you want to commit treason?"
"Treason!"
"Ha ha!"
"We have worked hard for the empire, but what will be the result?"
"General Liu has narrowly escaped death for the frontier, so what does he do?"
"Hundreds of thousands of people in our border city have been displaced and their families have been destroyed. So what!"
"So what if hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the border army are buried in a foreign land?"
"What about Nalan Duan, King Beigong, King Moon Wolf, and the six commanders? The army is now, our iron-blooded army is fighting for the empire, so what about your Imperial Banner Army!" Mu Qingkuang's heart trembled wildly, he was angry, he was angry,
He is unwilling!
Now, the long-suppressed feelings have completely burst out!
"Liu Chenyi, take a good look at your army!"
"You forced me to do this!" Nalan Duan shouted angrily.
"Stop it, what are you doing!"
"I, Liu Chenyi, am innocent and have no regrets!"
"If you do this, won't you prove to the world that I, Liu Chenyi, am a traitor!"
"You are setting me up for injustice. Now, leave the imperial city!" Liu Chenyi was protecting them.
How could Mu Qingkuang and the others not know!
"General, we have been friends of life and death for decades, how can we still not understand what you are thinking!"
"Are you afraid of injuring us?"
"Brothers, life and death are with you!"
"Knowing that the general has been wronged and knowing that the general is in trouble, how can we leave!"
"We will not rebel, let alone let the general suffer infamy!"
"But if you want to kill the general, you have to kill us first!" Mu Qingkuang shouted loudly, and the 20,000 soldiers shouted and stood on the guillotine one after another.
"Today, I just ask the royal family to give us justice!"
"justice!"
"Liu Chenyi, when death is imminent, you still incite the morale of the army. Everyone knows your rebellious spirit!"
"Don't you want to die with Liu Chenyi?"
"Come here, shoot the arrow!"
"Stop, Nalan Duan, what do you want to do! You promised me that you would never harm anyone in my army!" Liu Chenyi asked Nalan Duan angrily.
"Liu Chenyi, they all asked for this!"
"General, we will never retreat!"
"Just ask for justice!" Tens of thousands of generals shouted again, but as soon as the words fell, thousands of arrows flew together, and the sound of swiping through the air came, ruthlessly penetrating the bodies of the soldiers.
The guillotine was dyed red with blood, and all of them gathered in front of Liu Chenyi.
"General, it is not difficult to leave here with your strength. The empire is so ruthless to you, why should you be so!"
"General, let's go!" Mu Qingkuang said excitedly.
Liu Chenyi felt great pain in his heart. He did not expect that things would turn out like this in the end, but if he left, these soldiers would definitely die.
"Nalan Duan!"
Liu Chenyi's martial soul bloomed, and he burned his essence and blood. Although his cultivation level plummeted, his military soul was still there. His power exploded, shocking people's hearts, and the power of a god general reached the heavens and the earth.
"Liu Chenyi, if you resist, these people will definitely die!"
"General, we would rather die than surrender, we just want justice! Leave quickly!"
"I, Liu Chenyi, have lived my whole life worthy of Heaven. But now, Heaven has taken away my daughter and killed my soldiers. Where is the justice?"
"I, Liu Chenyi, will not regret my death. Nalan Duan, let them go, and don't force me to take action." Liu Chenyi's shout echoed throughout the audience, and everyone was shocked.
Hearing this, Nalan Duan waved his hand: "Since you want them to live, then prepare to die!"
