Chapter 1706 Greed (2)
They could not save their comrades even if they wanted to. They were outnumbered, and they only had a limited supply inside. Their chance to survive from the rebel army was slim. The only way for them to survive was for the army to return.
Receiving no answer from the castle, the ten soldiers beheaded the captured Imperial Guards. All the guards on the wall looked away.
Ten heads rolled on the ground. Their blood painted the stone road. But that was not the end, the soldier brought another ten Imperial Guards.
Count Fontanella repeated the same threat again. Then the army followed after him. The first time did not really have any effect on the guards. But it was different after they beheaded the first ten Imperial Guards.
Another ten heads rolled on the ground, and more captives were beheaded. In ten minutes, a hundred and seventy-two Imperial Guards were beheaded.
When everyone thought that was all the captives they had. The force under Count Fontanella brought up the innocent resident. Two families, one family of fours, and another a family of six. There was even a ten-year-old boy, crying as he was dragged on the floor.
The Imperial Guards on the wall were shocked to see this. The rebellion meant to overthrow the ruler and take over the kingdom. The rebel army needed the people to keep the kingdom intact. Without the people, there was no kingdom. However, they decided to execute the people as well.
"Surrender or we will kill them! We will not stop until King Sebastia surrenders!"
"SURRENDER OR THEY WILL DIE!"
Count Fontanella shouted, which was followed by his army.
All ten soldiers stood in front of the ten people. One soldier held the boy, making sure the boy did not run. His cry was disturbing amidst the intense and terror atmosphere.
Count Fontanella raised his hand. The ten soldiers followed and raised their swords to the air. There was no hesitation as he motioned his soldiers to chop their heads.
As everyone expected the ten innocent lives would be claimed. The ten soldiers that were about to execute the ten residents fell to the ground. Their heads flew into the air. Until their heads fell to the ground, everyone just stared at their dead comrades.
The clanking noise made by the helmets of the dead soldiers snapped them out of their shock. They saw a figure standing there. A man with a weird outfit, but then recognized this person. The captain of The Reds Mercenary.
"What are they doing? Why don\'t they finish them off and chase the Void Creatures instead?"
Tang Shaoyang was mad at The Daenelis Clan. The things that happened a while ago could not be missed by them. Hundreds of Void Creatures came into this world, and they were wasting their time, watching all of this.
There was a more urgent matter, so they should have finished things here quicker, and then they must chase after the Void Creature. They did not need to identify who held the summoning scroll anymore. Stop or wipe the rebellion, kill The King, and capture Count Fontanella if they want to find the summoning scroll. Count Fontanella would tell them who had the scroll with a quick torture.
Count Fontanella took two steps back as his soldier lined in front of him. He was surprised by The Reds Mercenary\'s appearance, but he was not afraid or worried. He had a whole army to wipe a single mercenary corp.
"Do you know what you did, Captain Tang Shaoyang?"
Tang Shaoyang gave the man a glance. He had forgotten Count Fontanella\'s face, so he did not know who talked to him. He straight ignored Count Fontanella and looked up.
WAAAAA! Fwoosh! Bugh!
A person just fell right in front of Tang Shaoyang. The man did not wear armor, but a familiar golden robe. That person was King Sebastia who was kidnapped from the throne hall by one of Tang Shaoyang\'s shadow spirits.
Tang Shaoyang grabbed King Sebastia\'s neck and lifted the man into the air. Everyone gasped in shock, especially Count Fontanella. He was one of Duke Amalric\'s supporters on the surface, but he only received orders from King Sebastia. He was the one who encouraged Duke Amalric to rebel under The King\'s order.
"He is the mastermind behind this rebellion!"
The shock turned into confusion. What they heard from Tang Shaoyang did not make sense, at all. The rebellion pointed their swords at The King. Why would The King want the rebellion to happen? That just did not make sense.
King Sebastia\'s panic-stricken face changed into a mad grin when he heard Tang Shaoyang. No longer wearing his kind and gentle mask, King Sebastia let out a burst of maniacal laughter.
"BAHAHAHAHAA!"
"Impressive! Impressive! How do you find out, Captain Tang Shaoyang?"
"NO, there\'s no need to answer. All answers are pointless because the world will fall with me! WE ALL WILL DIE TOGETHER! IT\'S TOO LATE, CAPTAIN TANG SHAOYANG. YOU CAN\'T BE A HERO ANYMORE, NO ONE CAN STOP ME! NO ONE CAN\'T STOP THE WORLD DISASTER!"
They were still confused as to why The Captain from the most powerful mercenary corp would accuse The King. Now they were even confused because of The King\'s confession. King Sebastia just admitted the rebellion was his doing.
At this moment, another figure landed in front of The King. They recognized this person as well. A member from The Daenelis, a rival mercenary of The Reds.
"What are you doing!? You are ruining the plan!" Arsus bellowed at Tang Shaoyang. His plan was to let Count Fontanella summoned the Void Creature so he could kill it for bonus Credits. However, Tang Shaoyang ruined his plan.
In his anger, he took out his dagger and tried to stab Tang Shaoyang in the shoulder.
Tang Shaoyang easily ducked the attack. At the same time, he activated Dragon Transformation as he smashed King Sebastia\'s face to the ground.
He looked up at Arsus and their eyes met. The moment their eyes met, Arsus realized he was f*cked up. Not because he attacked Tang Shaoyang, but because he realized he would not be able to dodge what would come after him.
