20 – The Fire of Revolution is Burning 3

“Ki, open the road… ….”

“Captain!”

“Look at their size. The powerlessness of those standing in front. Do you think we’ll win? You only have one life, cherish it.”

“… ….”

It wasn’t that there weren’t any people who would stop the procession led by the hero even at the cost of their lives, but most of them got out of the way without a fight because of their spirit.

Who would want to fight if they thought that a huge crowd of people who couldn’t even see it all came to kill them?

Still, if it was like the old empire, there would have been many people willing to give up their lives for the emperor…….

Too many people were disappointed with the emperor’s attitude of rushing to conquer the kingdom without properly explaining the rare rumor that he had betrayed the hero.

Destruction was just around the corner, and they couldn’t understand the order to invade the humans of other countries until they consumed all the supplies they didn’t have.

Virtually bloodless.

Where the emperor’s seat of power was, the emperor, the minister, and the nobles who resisted to the end were already imprisoned.

“Welcome, champion… ….”

“The Empire is over. We will not resist the tide of the times.”

“No matter what you do, no one here will be dissatisfied.”

And the nobles who were not tied up threw down their weapons and surrendered as if they had waited for Chaejin to come this far.

“Oooh-!”

The emperor looked at Bright and twisted his body.

Why did you betray when you knew you were going to die? I wanted to say that, but I couldn’t come out.

Still, the meaning seemed to have been conveyed, and Bright stared at the emperor quietly.

“It is over now, Emperor. Weren’t we as good as dead anyway? Unlike you, the hero is rational.”

Some nobles’ faces brightened at the word “Reasonable.”

Because he said that he could live if he surrendered.

Even if the leadership changes, power may be maintained.

In the midst of such an atmosphere of hope.

“If I saved the world, I would receive half the empire. Is there anyone who is dissatisfied with what they did not receive at that time, even though they are trying to get it by paying interest?”

Chaejin spoke up.

Who dares to complain here?

Behind the door that Chaejin and Bright opened and entered, there is an army enough to fill the big and splendid street.

At least at this moment, the prestige of a hero with the cause of the Goddess’ command on his back was much higher than that of the emperor during the unification war.

“Oh, no.”

“The Empire is yours.”

“If you ascend the throne as a new emperor, I will follow you…” ….”

Ha ha.

Chaejin let out a small sigh.

‘I’ve only been imagining it…… You really did it.’

The impression was less than I expected.

At this level, it worked out very well.

“As you all know, this is not a simple change of leadership, but a revolution in which the persecuted become the main agents. People’s anger will have to be endured.”

“How can the anger of the people…… ?”

“Would you mind giving me some of your property?”

Property? A little bit of that too? In this situation now?

‘I think I’m still holding it in my hand.’

Chaejin held back what she wanted to laugh at and shook her head.

“The incompetence of the nobles has reached the limit of the Empire’s fury. There was an atmosphere that all nobles should beheaded.”

“That, that.”

“I wouldn’t really do that…… ?”

In response to a female aristocrat’s question, Chaejin affirmed.

“Yes. Because that’s obviously wrong. Even for the reconstruction and development of the new empire, nobles are essential.”

“As expected, it’s reasonable.”

“I didn’t become a hero for nothing. How smart!”

“I thought you would understand.”

At that time when everyone was busy praising Chaejin until their mouths were worn out.

Unexpected words came out of Chaejin’s mouth.

“As long as there is no sin.”

Everyone shuts their mouths in the atmosphere of the reversal.

“… ….”

Chaejin waited for her next words with a slightly frightened expression and eyes as if asking what she was talking about.

“There will be a public trial in front of the people of the empire. Use confession magic to wipe out all the sins committed using your position and power. Depending on the crime, the lawful punishment will be given, whether it be confiscation of property, imprisonment, or execution. If you continue to resist the confession magic, it will be judged that you have committed a crime that cannot even be confessed, and the maximum punishment will be imposed immediately.”

The complexions of the nobles who were listening to the story turned blue.

They are nobles, noble blood, the chosen ones.

Few among them considered Yangmin as human beings.

Status is determined by heaven!

According to such a stance, there have been many, many cases of ignoring the cries of the weak and accumulating wealth.

There was a law that said you couldn’t do that, but it was like a trick to give the illusion of equality.

In most cases, when a noble was punished for harming a commoner, it was the losing side in a power struggle between nobles.

In such a situation, if you suddenly say that you will enforce the law…….

Doesn’t that sound like dying?

“That can’t be!”

A nobleman who lost his temper gathered her mana to attack Chaejin with her magic.

“Heo Eok!”

However, Chaejin and Bright were shooting at the same time, so I couldn’t do anything and had no choice but to reap my strength.

With just the power of those two, I can slaughter everyone gathered here.

As if to engrave that fact to the bone, the murderous spirit the two spewed caught the nobles in the hall and prevented them from moving.

In fact, it is as if Chaejin has all the power in her hands.

The long and great history of the empire ended like this.

Following the irrational existence of being a double body of a demon, with the stupid choice of banishing the hero who defeated it.

The fact made the emperor deeply despair.

‘My, I, the history of the empire, must live to see it end in my generation… ….’

Continental unification that none of the previous emperors of the empire had achieved.

Although it bothered him that he couldn’t conquer the country of the different races, the emperor took great pride in that fact.

People who are close to death tend to be interested in the afterlife.

The emperor did just that.

Even if he dies, his achievements in leading the unification of the continent and the greatest revival of the empire and preventing even the destruction caused by the intervention of a divine being will remain for a long time.

He had no doubt that he would remain as the strongest and best emperor among all emperors, and if that happened, he could die without any regrets.

But what about the current situation?

A traitor to humanity who stabbed the hero who saved the world and caused the worst time for the empire.

He was taken down from the throne due to a civil rebellion and ended his life under the guillotine.

It was clear that it would be written that way.

Thinking about it made me feel like my five organs were twisted.

“Keep-“

A man named emperor began to shed tears.

What really saddened him was that he couldn’t blame others no matter what he thought.

He said that if he hadn’t done that then.

If he had made a wiser judgment then.

If you had a thing called trust…….

All I can do is regret.

“Iruna Basbatir! Tell me what your sins are!”

At the judge’s rebuke, the middle-aged lady was chained in front of the guillotine and muttered with a bewildered face.

“My family’s soldiers and… I had a quarrel… The hunter’s family… Annihilation… Command to do… Got off.”

“What is the reason!?”

“Insignificant… Things, topics, us, family names… I’m ignoring… Because I thought…….”

She had no choice but to tell the truth as she was steeped in the confession magic.

Things she thinks are sins.

If you are a socialized human being, he will not feel remorse, but there is no one who does not know that his actions are sins.

Even a psychopath without emotions knows what is a crime and what is not a crime if he knows what the law is.

The confession magic made me say all of that.

People who lived in the wild and thoroughly followed the law of the jungle might not be able to use this magic, but at least among those waiting for judgment, no one could escape the effects of this magic.

Even if you have the ability to deflect it, if you continue to resist, you will be executed for no reason, so you have no choice but to suffer.

“Other sins!”

“Torturing a young apprentice maid who was favored by her husband….”

The sins the woman spoke of were all terrible.

The crowd around the guillotine, like a swarm of ants, erupted in boos as the voices echoed through this vast plaza with volume-amplifying magic.

“Villain! It’s a bad girl!”

“Kill!”

“Kill it!”

A cry full of sadness and evil.

Almost everyone in the room was screaming and making gestures to drop their heads.

After all the confessions, the judge shouted while reading the code.

“Iruna Basbatir! According to the laws of the Empire, you will be beheaded!”

As soon as I heard those words, two soldiers dragged the middle-aged woman and fastened her to the guillotine.

“… Hot!”

It is not even acceptable for a sinner to die unconscious.

The confession magic was broken, and the woman’s spirit was awakened.

ㅡ Evil woman-! Die-!

ㅡ Hit it right now!

ㅡ Kill them all!

“Ah… ah… Ah…… !”

The fear she had forgotten for a while with her confession magic raised her head in an instant and covered her whole body.

Iru I shuddered at the sight that was about to unfold in front of her eyes and the bad news for her future.

A cool guillotine blade to be over her own neck.

Madness of the angry mob.

A voice calling out to kill oneself.

It felt like all of them had turned into nasty bugs that crawled over her body and invaded her body through the holes.

“Wrong! I was wrong! I will never ignore you commoners again! I will give you all my possessions! I’ll do anything I canaaa! Don’t kill! Please don’t kill me!”

“Execution!”

Chin.

Drurrr!

Kwajik!

The neck of a woman who was alive just a moment ago falls powerlessly and is placed in her basket.

[[[[[ Waaa! ]]]]]

A cry of joy followed by a terrifying sight.

It was clear madness.
