From Wild Mage to Wizard King.

Chapter 420 The End
"what?"

Randy, who was woken up late at night, sat at his desk, listening to the report from the person in front of him. He rubbed his temples hesitantly and cast a spell on himself to make himself a little more awake.

Then, he looked at the person in front of him again and spoke with some hesitation and doubt in his tone.

"You mean, under the order from Ginza, the Silver Empire's army surrounded the Ginza City Defense Army headquarters, killed some members, and arrested all other City Defense Army members?"

"Correct."

The intelligence officer nodded affirmatively and replied.

Randy frowned and continued.

"In addition to this, the Silver Empire's army also blocked a street and arrested all the citizens on the street?"

"Correct."

"Moreover, the city defense troops and citizens who resisted were all killed and sentenced to impalement?"

"Well, they were executed alive."

The intelligence officer paused, corrected some of Randy's inaccurate content, and continued.

"However, the last person executed died ten minutes ago. Now they are indeed all dead."

Listening to his words, Randy couldn't hold it anymore. His expression was extremely complicated. After a moment of silence, he began to think about why Ginza did this.

"As I recall, the Ginza City Defense Force is controlled by the Silver Family."

"Yes."

The intelligence officer nodded and said affirmatively.

"Could it be that the Silver Emperor wants to weaken the power of the Silver Family? However, this is too brutal."

Randy thought silently, but he still couldn't figure out why he did this. He could barely understand why he just dispatched the troops to kill, forced his way into the empty space, and then inserted his own people.

Anyway, I can just pass on the blame when the time comes.

But why did they attack the citizens and impose the death penalty on them? Did they want to suppress the riots of the citizens of Ginza with violence and terror?
Randy frowned and mentally rejected his own idea.

No way, this is too stupid, it's like throwing wood into a fire, the fire will only get bigger.

After thinking about it, Randy still couldn't figure out what was going on.

Maybe I don’t know which link it is.

Randy shook his head and ordered.

"During this period, everyone should try to reduce going out. The unrest in Ginza has nothing to do with us. Inform everyone to remember the mission given to us by the chairman and remain neutral. Apart from collecting intelligence, you are not allowed to get involved in anything else."

"clear."

The intelligence officer nodded and quietly left the room.

After he left, Randy also stood up, walked to the window of the room, reached out and pushed the window open.

Looking at Ginza in the dark night, Randy silently enjoyed the evening breeze.

Following the evening breeze, Randy also heard the sound of the wind mixed with the faint sound of crying filled with grief coming from afar. After hearing this sound, Randy raised his head and looked in the direction where the crying sound came from.

In the direction of the distant crying sound, sparks were lit up little by little, and countless points of light rushed towards that side from all directions.

Ever since the citizens began their protests, only the Imperial Palace and the Pantheon remained brightly lit in Ginza every night, and now, the dark Ginza has a third bright spot.

If I remember correctly, that was the street that was blocked in the afternoon. It seems that the citizens of Ginza have also noticed the situation.

Randy stared at the tiny flame formed by countless points of light, stretched out his right hand as if to grasp the flame born from the dark silver seat, and spoke softly.

"What will you do?"

As the sky gradually brightened and the sun once again shone on Ginza, the Silver Emperor, who had been busy all night, walked out of the room. Standing at the highest point of the palace, the Silver Emperor ate breakfast dessert while leisurely looking at Ginza below.

Looking at the people coming and going on the street, after experiencing yesterday's lesson, the citizens of Ginza finally became obedient.

Looking at Ginza which seemed to have returned to normal, the Silver Emperor raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He took a sip of warm black tea, picked up a pen, and wrote in the diary on the table.

Nothing happened today.

On the other side of Ginza, the Ginza temporary camp had been occupied by countless citizens. Citizens armed with weapons were maintaining order. On the side, the soldiers and officers of the temporary camp were squatting obediently.

They were either from Ginza and were scolded by their relatives so much that they dared not resist, or they were bullied by the citizens and lost their fighting power.

This is Ginza, the capital of the Silver Empire. Although the average strength of its citizens is not as good as that of the Tower of Truth, it is still higher than any other city in the Silver Empire. There are countless low-level transcendents living in the city, and even there are many mid-level transcendents living here.

Therefore, facing the siege of Ginza citizens, thousands of helpless soldiers could not hold out for long, especially since the soldiers from Ginza turned against them on a large scale and stabbed them in the back.

In addition to this side, in another heavily guarded open space, the thousand elite knights who had previously suppressed the veterans and the thousand soldiers who led the siege of the city defense army headquarters and the thousands of soldiers on the streets, hundreds of criminals who had actually participated in the bloody suppression or killings were screened out, their mobility was disabled, and they were directly thrown here.

As they watched in horror, the citizens moved in an orderly manner to quickly place hundreds of sharpened wooden stakes in the open space around the camp.

When the bright sunlight shone on the camp, all preparations before the execution had been completed. An elderly fourth-ring spellcaster stood on the platform of the camp and spoke to everyone in the camp.

"My fellow countrymen, it's daybreak now. Let's execute these beasts and then go back to eat."

"it is good."

The citizens responded in unison, and then grabbed the terrified soldiers who were begging for mercy and sentenced them all to the same impalement punishment.

Hearing their screams of execution, the citizens left the temporary camp in an orderly manner, leaving only the old fourth-ring spellcaster on the high platform staring at the soldiers on the wooden pillars to make sure they all died in the execution.

After the citizens left, an officer among the soldiers squatting nearby came over cautiously and spoke softly.

"Teacher, you..."

"Don't call me teacher. I am not worthy of being your teacher. You are a great general appointed by the empire. I cannot reach your level."

The fourth-ring spellcaster said coldly without even looking at him.

Hearing what he said, the officer knelt down in front of him and spoke humbly.

"Teacher, don't say that. You will always be my teacher." The fourth-ring spellcaster glared at him, picked up the old staff and hit him on the back, cursing.

"Look at what kind of bastards you are with. You can't even control your own soldiers? You are a bunch of beasts. You even don't let children go. They are our comrades, not enemies!"

The officer lowered his head and obediently endured the beating.

The fourth-ring spellcaster still treated him as his apprentice, and although he tried hard, he didn't really want to kill him with magic.

After hitting twice, the fourth-ring spellcaster retracted his staff, snorted coldly, and said.

"Hmph, tell me, after all, I taught you, don't tell me you know nothing."

"Before entering the city, Ginza suddenly ordered the army to be divided according to ethnicity and region."

The officer said honestly.

Hearing this, the fourth-ring spellcaster glared at him and cursed.

"Idiot, you can't see the problem when it's so obvious, go on, what next?"

"Yes, after entering the city, I was pulled by several officers to discuss the issue of rewards. Taking advantage of this opportunity, someone took the transfer order from Ginza and directly mobilized the army without my permission."

The officer whispered.

The fourth-ring spellcaster glanced at him, put a token in his hand and said.

"Idiot, you don't even know you've been tricked. Take this, this is the new transfer order. Take your headquarters and leave Ginza immediately. Don't come back until the result comes out, no matter who ordered you to do so. As for those idiots who want to get involved, just ignore them. They will die here sooner or later."

"The Soldiers' Reward"

The officer said hesitantly.

The fourth ring spellcaster glared at him and cursed.

"You've got the rewards, haven't you? Just take them away. You don't think the commendation ceremony can still be held, do you?"

"I understand."

The officer nodded to show that he understood, then he looked up at him and said.

"Teacher, what about you?"

"Me? As long as you behave yourself outside, no one will do anything to me."

The fourth-ring spellcasters patted him on the back and cursed.

"Stupid boy, get out of here."

The officer nodded obediently, and then, according to the spellcaster's words, he took the new transfer order and quickly withdrew his troops from Ginza.

After the fourth-ring spellcasters had visually confirmed that all the soldiers who were carrying out executions in the camp were dead, they slowly left the camp.

The bodies remained hanging in the camp for three days and three nights, and no one came to collect them.

Because they died silently, with the tacit understanding of the citizens and all forces, the Silver Emperor did not know about the situation in the temporary camp until his envoy arrived at the camp.

After learning this, the Silver Emperor was naturally furious, but with the obstruction of the Silver Family and the will of all the citizens of Ginza to execute them, his anger was of no use.

In the end, they could only send people to collect their bodies in shame. Then, on the second day after all the bodies were collected, the warehouse where the bodies were kept suddenly caught fire. All the bodies were burned to ashes and were quickly cleaned up. The ashes were all thrown into the garbage dump.

After the citizens of Ginza retaliated and the army withdrew, Ginza returned to its normal state.

At this point, the overt riots came to an end.

From the initial dispatch of troops to suppress the veterans to the resistance and revenge of Ginza citizens, the events in Ginza over just a few dozen days opened everyone's eyes.

No matter who it is, it is hard to imagine that such an outrageous thing would happen in the capital of the most powerful country in Sinar. Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the Silver Emperor himself was not a high-level spellcaster, the riot of the citizens of Ginza might not have ended so easily.

Roland also kept a close eye on what was happening in the Silver Empire.

However, Roland's main concern was the veterans and their families who were fleeing eastward. Hundreds of thousands of people was not a small number.

Therefore, Roland decisively mobilized the resources and strength of the committee and sent a large amount of resources to support their escape.

As for the unrest among the citizens of Ginza, Roland simply watched it for fun. After all, Ginza was too far away, and even if there was an unlimited fighting tournament in Ginza, it would not be of any benefit to the committee, and might even be harmful.

Only a stable Silver Empire can allow the War Committee to continue dumping and plundering. Fortunately, under the restraint of Ginza citizens and various forces, Ginza did not really become chaotic.

As for the veterans.

Although the committee could not directly mobilize the army to escort the veterans, thanks to the sugar trade and internal economic construction and development, the War Committee now had plenty of money and could directly spend money to hire a mercenary group composed of veterans to escort the veterans to escape.

Moreover, since the army could not come in, the committee could send a small number of extraordinary people over there, and through the network of interests established through the sugar trade, the committee also coerced and bribed nobles and officials from all over the place to turn a blind eye to the fleeing veterans and sent personnel to establish supply points along the way.

The War Committee also assisted the Radiant Knights in obtaining the approval and recognition of the Pantheon. The Pantheon publicly ordered that all places should not hinder the migration of veterans. At the same time, the Radiant Knights also stopped most of their affairs and mobilized a large number of knights to assist in the migration of veterans.

In addition, the War Council also contacted the border nobles in the buffer zone and tried to pull them into the escort.

As new nobles emerging from the Rose War, although the border nobles were promoted to nobles based on their military merits, as cannon fodder selected by the Silver Empire to deal with the Green Tide, they have not forgotten where they came from.

As for the forgotten new nobles, they will not be thrown into the dangerous buffer zone.

Therefore, most of the border nobles still sympathized with the old soldiers. Even though they had become nobles, just as the old soldiers were excluded, they were also excluded by the aristocratic circle of the Silver Empire.

Even an earl from a border noble family would be looked down upon by a baron from the Silver Empire.

Therefore, with the War Committee providing weapons, equipment and food supplies, the border nobles did not mind helping their brothers.

As cannon fodder thrown here, the border nobles enjoyed a high degree of autonomy and military power. Every noble, even a baron, had the power to form an army without restrictions and had military access to the entire Silver Empire.

Originally, the Silver Empire had a good plan. Under the threat of the Green Tide, the border nobles would definitely organize armies at all costs, so that they could resist for a while longer. Moreover, even if they got out of control, the ones who would suffer would be the border vassal states. What did it have to do with Ginza?

So, relying on the special military power granted to them by the Silver Empire when they wanted to use them as cannon fodder, the nobles in the border areas organized a coalition force, raised the banner of helping the old soldiers, marched westward openly, entered the territory of the vassal states, and escorted the old soldiers to flee eastward.

Therefore, when Ginza was caught up in civil unrest and no one had time to pay attention, the War Committee was quietly working to win over these fleeing refugees.
