Standing on the ruins of the palace, Todd held the dragon head high, looking at Muxicheng under the mountain, the dark golden dragon pupils were full of pain and sorrow.

"Todd, I have heard about you, and I always have a question for you... If it is not Ulster that is invading now, but Twilight West, what would you do? 』

The words of Cú Chulainn before his death echoed in the ears of the dragon.

"When Twilight West City was swallowed by the flames of war, the iron hoof of the invaders stepped onto every inch of your land. The nobles only cared about protecting themselves, even betraying the country for glory; while the people forgot the glory of the kingdom, abandoned their original vows, and gave up their only faith... What would you do at that time? 』

"You will become as crazy as I am... No, you will be more violent and cruel than me. 』

"Because we are tyrants! It's a beast! What we need is flesh and blood, killing! 』

Todd slowly closed his eyes and muttered, "Tyrant..."

The sound of griffin flapping wings came from the sky.

The silver-haired Valkyrie Yiwei commanded the mount and landed beside the black dragon.

"I have sent Mary to a safe place. The woman was quite frightened, I am afraid it will take some time to rest."

Todd nodded: "If I change to an ordinary person, I will feel scared when I see the way I am now. This is normal..."

Hearing the depression in the other party’s words, Evie frowned and said: “Between men and women, only superficial people care about the appearance of the skin. A mortal, being able to be with the gods, is not something worth celebrating ?"

Todd shook the dragon's head. He didn't intend to entangle this issue any more, so he asked, "How is the situation in the city?"

"The enemy in the port area has been eliminated, and the military camps have been basically controlled. There are still some important buildings in the city, and the final battle is still going on."

Todd lowered his dragon's head to look at Evie, his voice revealed a slight hesitation: "How many people died?"

Evie somewhat misunderstood what Todd said: "The Crusades are invincible, without any casualties; the battle group responsible for attacking the security forces and the naval barracks, the total number of deaths in the battle is less than 50 people; other battlefield casualties are unknown. , But they should all be within the expected range."

Evie added another sentence: "According to your instructions, all the soldiers of Froststone City did not disturb the citizens. They only targeted the rebels. But it is undeniable that some rebels dropped their weapons and mixed into the houses. , This has caused certain difficulties for our search work."

Todd asked again: "Is there any news about Rachel and the others?"

Evie curled her lips: "God knows where the alien association people are hiding. When the war is over, they will naturally come out again."

Todd turned his head and looked at the distant sea level.

At the junction of the sea and the sky, a faint blush is slowly expanding. The warm sun has dispelled the darkness and brought light to the entire city.

The turbulent night passed.

After experiencing a night of fright, the people in Muxicheng faced the morning sun. The bolder people quietly opened the windows and secretly observed the scene on the street.

The corpses of the rebels were scattered on the ground, and the soldiers of Froststone City were in groups, carpet-like searching every corner. Although all of them looked fierce and murderous, they were very angry with Twilight. There is no harassment in the private homes of Western citizens.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the municipal office staff of Muxicheng, with a call-up order signed by the cabinet, knocked on the door of every household in Shangcheng from house to house.

Looking at the soldiers following the office staff, the Muxi citizens in the upper city reluctantly walked out of their homes and were taken to Muxi Square in a semi-forced manner.

The formerly clean, tidy, and wide-open Civic Square is now full of soldiers from Froststone City. Nearly a hundred high platforms have been temporarily erected on the entire square.

At ten o'clock exactly, Cabinet Prime Minister Emerson led other cabinet members to the center of the square, and with the help of the alien power of "Sonic Boost", he read out a provisionally drafted palace announcement to all the citizens of Shangcheng District.

The initial part of the announcement first introduced in detail the reason for the rebellion, the brief introduction of the rebel leader, and the forces hidden behind them in Muxicheng.

When citizens heard a series of familiar terms from Emerson's mouth—the Dalson family, the business alliance, and Rutledge, everyone’s face was filled with uncontrollable shock and panic.

Next, the spies who had been hiding in Twilight City for many years, the officers who took bribes and rebels, as well as the captured mercenaries and pirates, were drawn to the citizens one after another, crying bitterly and began to confess what they were. Know everything.

Finally, a large number of letters searched from the criminal's home, as well as the twilight city's capture plan and division of labor, the weapons and flags used by the rebels were also publicly displayed in front of everyone.

Emerson listened to the discussion and exclamation from the square, first he sighed heavily, and then said: "Before this rebellion began, the Holy King had already understood everything. He came here today, and he has something to say. I want to tell his people personally."

Todd, wearing a fur robe and regaining his human form, just stepped onto the high platform in the center of the square, and the citizens cheered enthusiastically.

Seeing the crowds in the audience, Todd waved to everyone, he had something to say.

"In the past period of time, I deliberately left the kingdom, established the Knights Council and the electoral system before leaving, and put the jurisdiction of the city in the hands of every citizen present. I originally hoped, all present here. Everyone in, can properly use the power in their hands, think rationally and comprehensively about everything in the kingdom ~lightnovelpub.net~ and make reasonable decisions...but it seems that I may have made a mistake."

Having said that, Todd paused for a moment: "But when I came back, what did I see?!"

"Selfish! Greed! Ignorance! Ignorance! I saw a group of idiots who are complacent only by learning a little knowledge! I saw a group of living corpses who only care about money and have forgotten glory and faith!"

Todd looked at the people on the square and said loudly, "Look at yourself! Think about your past! When Twilight City was just established, we were surrounded by enemies and precarious. Everyone wanted to protect the land under our feet. Donated their only family property, contributed the only remaining food in the family, even the curtains were torn down and made into bandages! At that time, in Twilight City, how did you abandon God? Have you deviated from your faith?"

"And now, in this kingdom, money has become the only measure of the value of life! Scholars can sell their dignity for money; soldiers can betray their country for money; knights can even violate their vows for money!"

"What has become of Twilight City now?!"

"A sin city that has lost faith and completely fallen into the magic of money!"

Todd untied the fur robe on his body, threw it into the air, and roared: "You have only come into contact with some of the fur of the truth, and you just yelled that God is dead. Now! Let me tell you that in your mouth. The **** who has long since died is now standing in front of your eyes!"

Black iron scales slowly emerged from Todd's skin, huge pointed claws grew out of his palm, fiery flames wrapped around his body, and broad dragon wings burst out from behind him.

Amid the screams and prayers of people, Todd, who changed into the shape of a dragon, roared deafeningly at the sky.
