Alien world

Chapter 965 196. Truth is always covered with dust
Outside the city of Yizewan, there was a long queue of people waiting to enter the city.

A short and thin boy and a lame old man stood in front of the city guards, their faces full of embarrassment and pleading.

"Sir, we really have no money..."

They came in such a hurry that they forgot to bring money to pay the city tax.

"If you don't have it, get out of here." The city guard grabbed Lame Babu's arm and tried to throw him out.

Little Smoo rushed over to stop them: "Captain, we know the secret!"

"secret?"

While the captain of the city guards was distracted, Little Smokey said loudly so that people around him could hear: "When we were fleeing, we encountered a group of ratmen carrying the plague. They are approaching Ize Bay!"

The crowd around them all changed color. The city guards kicked Little Smo to the ground, raised their spears and stabbed Little Smo in the chest, shouting fiercely: "Catch these two demagogues!"

"I didn't, I didn't! We saw it with our own eyes--"

boom!
The captain of the city guard lashed Little Smoo's cheek with his spear, and he was knocked unconscious again.

"Take them to the dungeon!"

The captain of the city guard glanced at the restless crowd and felt annoyed.

Damn it... it's getting harder and harder to hide it...

On the way to the dungeon with two refugees, the honest lame old man suddenly shouted at the intersection: "Children, the plague is coming, run!"

The captain of the city guard, who was having a headache, was so angry that he swung his spear and hit the old man on the back.

Lame Babu stumbled and fell, having difficulty getting up. The city guards rushed over and dragged him away like a dead dog in front of the people on the street, leaving a mottled bloodstain on the stone slab.

"They are just two crazy refugees, don't pay attention to their crazy talk!"

[Letter to Miss Yanes:
Hello, Ms. Yanes. Today, when I stood on the hilltop and looked out over the Mam River, I thought of my hometown and you.

We easily wiped out the group of Free Blades who were destroying the mine. They were so weak and rushed towards us with ridiculous wood and stones. I killed three Free Blades without much effort.

My lady, doesn't this prove that Liberty City is a lie? Their soldiers are weak and their boasts are false...

Miss Yanes, I have no intention of exposing the things you like, I just want to help you understand what kind of people the Liberty City you like is like.

But we didn't find their leader. The captain interrogated the captives and he said that the ratmen appeared in the east with the plague... I almost couldn't breathe when I heard this, but it was the knight captain who told me that this was a lame excuse made by the cunning Freeblade leader who knew we were coming.

Damn Freeblade, I almost got fooled by them!

I want to find these rats and wipe them out without leaving a single one behind!
Please wait for me, I will go back as scheduled, or even earlier, to marry you.

Claude, October 1001, , Saint Laurent calendar

After Claude and the knights thoroughly searched the hill, the knight captain said they could go back.

The difficult pursuit was finally over, and Claude couldn't wait to send the letter back home to Miss Yanes.

The short Robin found several wooden boats on the banks of the Mam River. The knight captain no longer had the brutality he had when hunting the Freeblade people, and laughed loudly, "Boys, do you want to return to Ize Bay before night falls?"

“We can’t wait!”

It was great not to have to carry a heavy and smelly human head with me on the road; even though the weather was getting cold, the head would last a long time before rotting.

The knights boarded the wooden boat that Freeblade prepared for them and arrived at Ize Bay before dusk. "Go back and have a good night's rest, and prepare to come to the Knights' Order to claim your reward tomorrow!"

The knight captain dismissed the knights and returned to the city lord's mansion to report on his work in a good mood.

But his good mood only lasted for a few dozen minutes, as he soon learned that the two leaders of the Free Blade had been captured in Ize Bay.

"You made them run back and let the people know about the plague."

The deputy city lord's words dispelled all his joy. He lowered his head and said, "We have been following the Free Blade. When we caught up with them, they were already -"

"I don't want to hear any explanation." The deputy city lord waved his hand, "Send the head over."

"understand!"

If Little Smalls and Lame Babu had not been captured but had successfully sneaked in, they would have seen a mausoleum made of thousands of human heads in the square outside the City Lord's Mansion.

They claim that these are all people from the Free City, but how many of them are from the Kingdom who died unjustly?

Because of the plague, the City Lord's Mansion demanded that Little Small and Lame Babu be executed as soon as possible.

In order to intimidate the people of Free City who were active in Ize Bay, they chose to publicly execute Little Small and Lame Bob on the execution ground.

The next morning, the sky was gloomy and the Mage Academy said the first snow was about to arrive.

The execution ground in Ize Bay was surrounded by a crowd of people.

The city guards maintained order, while the knights and mages guarded the execution ground on the periphery.

Those people from Liberty City couldn't help themselves when they saw Jingguan. They used this trick to lure many people out. Now that they have executed the Free Blade people, they should also jump out...

Soon, the jailer brought the two Free Blade leaders to the execution ground, put hemp ropes around their necks, and removed the black cloth from their heads.

Both of them were tortured and covered in blood. The thin one lost an ear and the old man had both legs broken.

The crowd was a little disappointed. They thought Freeblade would be very powerful, but he turned out to be just an ordinary person that you can see everywhere on the street...

Even though he was in such a mess, Little Smooth still stood tall and took a deep breath: "Kingdom of Rikaner! You can kill countless of us, but you can't stop more of us from waking up!"

The jailer swung the short flail, breaking little Small's teeth and knocking the words into his stomach.

It was Lame Babu's turn. He opened his left eye, the only one that was not swollen, and said with a smile, "Go ahead and kill him."

The knight captain who presided over the hanging shouted loudly: "These two traitors betrayed the kingdom and defected to Liberty City. They brainwashed hundreds of people in the mine and brutally killed a group of foremen and guards!"

The onlookers were outraged and they hated the traitors.

"We have eliminated the minions hiding in the suburbs. Now, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Rekanel, they will be hanged!"

The jailer walked towards the gallows. Just as he was about to make his move, a cloaked figure rushed out from the intersection. The city guards were unable to resist and were knocked several meters away.

“He’s the elite!”

The fallen city guards screamed, and the well-prepared mages and knights approached quickly.

"what?"

There was a cry of surprise from the tumultuous crowd. There was no time to think about who that guy was. He blew a whistle and the undercover agents hiding in the crowd rushed to the execution ground.

Two arrows shot out and cut the hemp ropes on Little Smalls and Lame Babu's heads.
