Chapter 322: So Fake
At Soleimani's order, the soldiers began to retreat into the streets. Archers climbed onto the roofs of houses, and spearmen lined up in the middle of the streets. Civilians were disturbed, and the city was filled with the soldiers' shouting and the civilians' crying.

A believer who was originally a devout believer in the Holy See of Light was praying devoutly at home, hoping that the God of Light would save him.

Suddenly, his door was kicked open and a group of Temple Knights rushed in.

The believer was overjoyed: "The knights of the God of Light have come to protect me."

However, he did not expect that the knights grabbed him, dragged him out of the house, and forced him to stand at the front of the army. He was not the only civilian captured. A large group of civilians were forced to squeeze in the middle of the street, while the Temple Knights stood behind them.

It was obvious that they were gambling that the impostor would not dare to use that strange weapon to shoot at the civilians.

The civilians were terrified and many were crying.

The believer shouted in a hoarse voice: "I am a devout believer of the God of Light. Shouldn't the Temple Knights be on our side?"

"Shut up! Stop talking nonsense." The Temple Knight slapped him in the face, swallowing back all the words he wanted to say.

On the street in the distance, Kabi saw this scene and couldn't help but get angry. He turned to Soleimani and said, "Grand Duke, you can't do this! If we do this, what's the difference between us and the Demon King's army?"

Soleimani: "There is a difference. The devil's army eats people, but we don't."

Kirby: “…”

At this time, the city was in chaos, but the Restoration Army outside the city was neither hurried nor slow. Antonio's white owl saw the situation in the city.

Elizabeth took out the magic conch again and shouted to Sunshine City: "A true king will love his people. The wicked people who gained the country by illegal means only care about their own interests and have no regard for the people. The people of Ugumantai and the Church of Light are using civilians as shields. As for me, I will not wield the butcher knife against you, but will do my best to save you. The truth of sixteen years ago is now self-evident."

Her clear voice, along with the sound of the conch, drifted across the city.

"People of the Magic Kingdom of Farlan, you are never cowards! In the face of injustice and unfairness, you should not endure and submit."

"Those who still have the strength to pick up their weapons! Those who are still wavering, those who are still hesitating, there is nothing to hesitate about now."

Just as she said this, a small army suddenly emerged from the side of the battlefield not far away. There were less than two hundred people in the army, and their leader was Baron Adrian, the small lord of Xihuang Town.

He wept bitterly and sincerely repented. He knelt down on one knee in the direction of the queen and said loudly, "Your Majesty! I was wrong. I shouldn't have followed the Black-hearted Wizard to the western forest to chase you! I was deceived by them and thought you were an imposter, which was why I did such a wrong thing. But now I know that your bloodline is extremely noble, and you are a true king. Ugumantai and his mob are the cancer of the country."

Adrian sang like he was singing an opera, with exaggerated movements and absurd expressions, and his voice even had a bit of a theater echo: "Do I still have a chance to repent? Can you still forgive me and accept me again? Do I still have a chance to serve under a true king?"

Zhang Jingyi covered his face with his hands, thinking: The lines are too exaggerated! Damn, I asked you to act, not to act so fake, don't you have any acting skills? Who told you to make the lines so corny? Can't you make them a little more realistic? I should have asked the dwarf to help write the lines earlier, so that they would be simple and crude, not so fake.

But...

Political matters are very interesting. Adrian was acting, and the small lords in the city also saw that he was acting. Normal people would definitely not say such corny lines, but when choosing sides in politics, for their own interests, to preserve their territory and power, for the prosperity and continuation of the entire family...

Even if everyone could tell that Adrian was an actor, they would pretend not to notice.

What they saw was not Adrian's fake acting, but the purpose behind Adrian's acting.

This was a deliberate move by the Queen. Adrian once followed the Black-hearted Master to hunt down the Queen. If he could be forgiven, then there would be no reason for the other little lords to be liquidated! He was performing this drama for us to see.

The little lords suddenly understood.

Sure enough, after Adrian finished his extremely corny lines, Elizabeth smiled at him: "Lord Adrian of West Wasteland Town, I have received your sincere apology! I forgive all your crimes. From now on, you can continue to keep your territory and title and serve me well."

Adrian: "Thank you, your kind and generous Majesty. Your generosity is like the sky, which can accommodate the stars."

He stood up from his kneeling position and joined the Restoration Army behind the Queen. A place had already been reserved for him in the army formation, and his nearly two hundred men walked in, just filling up that position, fitting in perfectly.

Zhang Jingyi dug his toes hard on the ground and a five-bedroom, one-living-room apartment came out.

Can you guys stop acting so fake?
However, the fake play has real effects.

A small lord in the city suddenly shouted, and led more than a hundred of his soldiers out of the city, rushing towards the Queen's army: "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I sincerely repent like Baron Adrian. Please let me follow you."

Elizabeth nodded: "I forgive you!"

When the leader saw this, the people behind him couldn't bear it.

The surrounding small lords defected one after another...

In fact, they had already been conquered by those strange weapons, the terrifying anti-aircraft guns, the outrageous mortars, and the even more outrageous tanks. These things added together, coupled with the queen's bloodline and Soleimani's atrocities, had actually made them consider reselecting sides.

Adrian's performance dispelled their last bit of concern, which was of course to quickly "return to orthodoxy."

One after another, the small lords led their people to defect!

Then a large number of civilians also responded. Those civilians who had not yet been captured by the Iron Horse Knights and the Knights Temple and used as cannon fodder all fled the streets, opened the side gates, rushed out of the city, and gathered towards the queen.

Someone ran out, tearing off the sun symbol embroidered on his clothes, and stepped on it on the ground! He spat, "The Holy See of Light, get out of here!"
