Watching the Holy King of Muxi City transform into the legendary dragon in front of them, the expressions and reactions of the citizens of the kingdom can only be described as extremely shocked.
Some people cried and wanted to escape from the square, some rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot, and some were even so frightened that they became incontinent on the spot.
Todd put away his dragon wings, curled up his tail, looked at the chaos in the square, turned his head and growled at Emerson standing next to him, signaling him to take action.
The poor prime minister didn't dare to look up at the black dragon. His legs couldn't stop trembling, so he could only respond with a random nod.
Emerson shouted with a trembling voice: "Next, it's time to execute the prisoner!"
The soldiers of Froststone City, like leading cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, first brought a group of pirates and mercenaries to the high platform.
"This is the rumored King of Pirates, the Barbarossa who can stop a baby from crying just by saying his name, making everyone fearful of him!"
Along with the shouts of the judge, a burly, majestic man with wounds all over his body was carried up by two orcs.
As the first criminal to be executed, Barbarossa looked at the huge crowd of people in the audience, and then at the chilling black dragon in the distance. He lowered his head and said mockingly: "Everything in the world is unpredictable..."
Dressed in white and wearing a white scarf, Aisha walked up to the high platform and came behind Barbarossa, holding a scimitar and under everyone's gaze.
"Do you have any last words?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Barbarossa turned his head, looked at the woman behind him, and said with a smile: "My daughter, I never thought that the grudge between us would end in this way."
Ayesha looked at Barbarossa's neck, slowly raised the scimitar, and said coldly: "I will return all the harm you did to my mother back then to you today!"
Barbarossa wanted to turn his body sideways and face Aisha, but unexpectedly, the orc holding him was too strong and he could not move at all.
In desperation, he could only look sideways at Ayesha and said softly: "Your mother is the woman I love most in the world. How could I hurt her so cruelly? Everything that happened in the first place was her choice.
"
Ayesha shouted angrily: "I don't believe you!"
Barbarossa smiled bitterly and closed his eyes: "My life has come to an end. There is no need for me to deceive you."
Ayesha gritted her teeth, raised her scimitar high and pointed it at her father, and struck down hard. Unexpectedly, the blade stopped ten centimeters above Barbarossa's neck.
Feeling the hesitation of the woman behind him, Barbarossa slowly opened his eyes and said calmly to Ayesha: "My legend has ended, and your legend has just begun. But no matter what, I know,
Sooner or later, my daughter will become the queen of the entire ocean!"
Ayesha held the scimitar in both hands. Looking at the face in front of her, her hands began to tremble.
Looking at the delayed execution on the high platform, Todd raised his head and turned his attention to the father and daughter involved.
Barbarossa turned his head to look at the cold dark golden pupils of the black dragon. With a change of thought, he shouted: "Ayesha, one thing is true! I was the one who stabbed the dagger into your mother's chest with my own hands.
I also watched my most beloved woman die in my arms! If you want revenge, do it quickly! You are my daughter, Barbarossa, and a descendant of the pirate king. Don’t let weakness and cowardice taint you.
This name!"
Ayesha burst out with a heart-rending cry, and slashed hard with the scimitar in her hand with determination and anger.
Blood gushed out like a fountain. The head of the legendary pirate king rotated with the sea breeze, and his eyes finally settled on the blue sky above his head.
As soon as Barbarossa died, the captured pirates and mercenaries were also pushed to the execution ground one after another.
Sounds of begging for mercy, cries and screams kept echoing in the sky above Muxi Square.
Nearly two hundred prisoners were beheaded in front of the citizens of Muxi City.
The smell of blood and tragic scenes made everyone present tremble with fear and become unstable.
But what they didn't expect was that this was just the beginning.
After all the pirates and mercenaries were executed, the second batch of death row prisoners were pushed onto the high platform.
They were all defectors in the Muxi City rebellion. Some were local soldiers who had joined the rebels, some were officials bribed with money, and some were criminals who took advantage of the chaos in the kingdom to rob and set fire to everywhere.
If the execution of the pirates and mercenaries just now made the citizens of Muxi City just feel uncomfortable, then the execution of these own citizens who had betrayed the country really made them feel deep fear and trembling.
Many of these people were friends, colleagues, relatives and even children of those present. Regarding their deaths, some citizens, regardless of the danger to their lives, knelt on the ground and begged the executioners to leave a mark on their swords.
People, hold your hands high.
Listening to the cries and pleas coming from the square, Emerson secretly glanced at Todd beside him. The latter seemed to guess what the former wanted to say, and responded directly: "These people betray the entire kingdom for money. If
Forgive them, but what about those heroes who fought to the death to protect their country last night?"
Hearing this, Emerson sighed and did not intend to speak again.
Since the traitors were involved in a wide range of levels and the number of people was large, even a rough calculation would have exceeded 1,400 people. Therefore, the execution time for the second batch of death row prisoners was much longer than that of the first batch.
The blood soaked the entire high platform and left small pools of blood on the square that were as deep as the ankles; the severed heads were getting higher and higher, and from a distance, it looked like hills were piled up in the square.
The execution lasted from ten o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon. During this period, people kept passing out, some because of fright, and some because of grief.
After the second batch of death row inmates were executed, the firing squad brought out the last batch of death row inmates.
This group of prisoners are all the participants and family members who led the rebellion, including the famous Dolson family, the subordinate families of the former Yinhuan ministers, and other members of the chamber of commerce who directly or indirectly participated in the rebellion.
Using the power of soul link, Todd had already found the directory of these families and the list of each family member from Rutledge's memory.
During the arrest operation, the Froststone Chapter, based on the information provided by the Sons of the Gods, captured all the members of these chamber of commerce families and brought them all to the execution ground.
Among those arrested were men and women, old people with all their teeth missing, and children who were underage.
An old woman with white hair and blind eyes, who had to rely on the help of others to walk, knelt down in front of the high platform and cried loudly in the direction of the palace: "Wise king, kind king! I am a miserable wretch.
I kneel at your feet and beg you to give me a little favor!"
"I know that my son participated in the rebellion and killed soldiers loyal to the kingdom. However, my child who is still in the womb of my daughter-in-law, my grandson, is innocent. I beg you to give him life.
power. As compensation, I am willing to give my life as atonement..."
Todd lowered his head and looked at the group of Chamber of Commerce families captured by the Froststone Battle Group. Some of them were guilty of unpardonable crimes, but some of them did not participate in the rebellion. Logically speaking, their crimes were indeed worthy of death.
Emerson looked at the giant dragon deep in thought and whispered: "These people are different from the previous ones... The previous group of people, whether they were pirates, rebels or traitors, everyone was burdened with unforgivable burdens.
It can be said that they deserved their death for their crimes. But this group of people were involved just because someone in their family participated in the rebellion. They are indeed guilty, but maybe they will not be deprived of their lives?"
Todd looked at the trembling members of the Chamber of Commerce family, and suddenly Cu Chulainn's past words rang in his ears again.
"We are tyrants! We are beasts! What we need is flesh and blood! Killing!"
Todd shook the dragon's head and swayed the dragon's tail back and forth, his dark golden pupils flickering due to the struggle in his heart.
Suddenly, he raised his two dragon claws high, and light blue soul particles overflowed from his fingertips and slowly spread over the entire square.
Carefully controlling those free soul particles and touching them with every living creature present, Todd spent a lot of effort and finally completed the soul link with everyone.
The next second, Todd used all his soul power to bring all the creatures in the square into his soul space.
