Just as she had promised Lu Chen before, she treated her enemies without mercy, even if they were imperial ministers.
Seeing this, the other nobles began to beg for mercy.
"SURRENDER!! WE SURRENDER!!!"
"You can want anything!!! We'll give it to you!!!"
They kowtowed to the starship like chickens pecking at rice.
"..."
Lu Chen watched the performance below with cold eyes. These nobles would only begin to repent when they were on the verge of death.
They are kept for no other purpose than to serve as termites.
"Esdeath, Gudako, and Night Raid, you guys take care of them together."
……
……
For the common people of the empire, this was a day worth celebrating.
Under Lu Chen's instructions, all the nobles were dragged to the square of the imperial capital for public execution.
Even Ernest was pulled up by medical magic and tied up in the center of the square for public display.
For such evil guys, being killed by Esdeath with one sword was too easy for them.
The civilians hated them with a vengeance, wishing they could eat their flesh and drink their blood.
They rushed forward with knives and tortured him to death just like in the original novel.
Esdeath became an undoubted hero of the empire.
She herself has a very high reputation among the common people of the empire and is regarded as the patron saint of ordinary people.
Now that he has executed the corrupt nobles, he is worshipped as a god by the people.
As for those aliens who claim they want to conquer the world?
General Esdeath has spoken. They're an advanced civilization from another world, helping us build our world. How could they be wrong?!
Killing Ernest and the imperial nobles was a great achievement for the people.
They don't mind having a new ruler at all, and may even prefer aliens.
Especially when Lu Chen sent out the almighty angel to maintain order and help civilians rebuild the city.
These girls with wings created a stir among the crowd.
"'Angel!!! It's really an angel!!!"
The omnipotent angel can fly, is very beautiful, and possesses technology that the feudal natives cannot understand at all.
To the uneducated common people, it was like a god descending to earth.
"It seems that our rule over this world will go smoothly in the future."
Lu Chen listened to other people's reports with satisfaction.
Feudal natives are much easier to deceive than pre-space age humans.
Their lives were originally only at the medieval level, and they could make the civilians grateful by just throwing some instant noodles and bread from the stockpile.
Add some myths and legends to fool them, and your rule will be as stable as Mount Tai.
"Yes."
Gudako nodded.
"In the latest version of the Bard's legend, the Commander has transformed from an alien conqueror into the Empire's new god - the Mecha-God."
"Legend has it that when the empire is in danger and treacherous ministers are in power, finding seven spaceship parts wrapped in oil paper in the palace sewers will summon a dragon...bah, a god."
"The commander will return from the sky like lightning in a starship with a hammer and sickle printed on it, saving the people of the empire from danger and leading them to restore their former glory."
"???"
Lu Chen knocked on the cudazi with a bang.
"Where did this weird stitched-together legend come from?! Hmm? Wei!"
(Picture shows Esdeath, AI picture).
Chapter 224: The rubbish alliance, change the name to Empire
A few days later.
imperial capital.
As the sky was just getting light, there were a few loud crowing sounds.
The entire capital began to slowly recover its vitality.
After washing up, the residents changed their clothes, walked out of their homes, and headed towards the square of the capital from all directions.
There was a look of anticipation and curiosity on everyone's face, they knew that something big was going to happen today.
Men, women, young and old, were all in a hurry.
Imperial Capital Square.
This was once the place where every emperor of the empire was crowned and held celebrations. The spacious venue was large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The square floor tiles are all paved with white marble inlaid with gold edges, and are surrounded by decorative columns carved from white jade, which looks extremely luxurious.
In the past, when the emperor or the minister Ernest went on tour, the royal guards would lead the way, keeping the ragged lower-class people out of the sight of the nobles.
The lower class people were not even worthy to set foot on the square of the palace.
However, Lu Chen did not care about these things. He had basically executed all the nobles of the empire, and the royal guards, imperial weapon users, and guards were basically wiped out by the heroic spirits.
Therefore, there are only about a few hundred battle angels guarding the square now.
They held a lightsaber in one hand and an ion shield in the other, guarding both sides of the square.
The Almighty Angel usually has no expression and no emotional fluctuations.
In the eyes of the natives, it is simply a synonym for God.
Just one glance at the angel's pure white wings was enough to shock the hearts of the less educated people.
They didn't dare to get close to these Valkyrie-like girls at all. Even though there was enough space reserved for the audience, they still stood far away on the periphery.
Occasionally, some children are curious and want to take a few steps forward to touch the wings of the fighting angel, but are immediately stopped by their parents.
He slapped his head.
"That's God's messenger!!! Don't touch him!!!"
soon.
When the streets of the imperial capital were deserted and the people watching the excitement surrounded the square in three layers.
click -
A long 873-meter gangway was lowered from the starship in the air, and Lu Chen and the accompanying ship girls walked down slowly.
A little further behind him, several members of the night attack team followed.
The civilians all looked up at the somewhat mysterious man.
Imperial Conqueror.
That's what people call him.
They came here from another world with a huge fleet of starships.
The moment it appeared, it declared its intention to conquer the world.
At first, many people were observing their movements cautiously, wondering what this group of aliens were planning.
But in just a few days, Minister Ernest and the corrupt nobles of the empire were completely defeated.
Some of the dozen or so surrounding countries were destroyed, while others surrendered.
Even the empire's strongest general, Esdeath, fell into their arms.
Esdeath smiled and waved to the civilians, sparking cheers.
She is extremely popular among the people.
The corners of Chi Tong and others' mouths behind him couldn't help but twitch a few times.
I still can't connect her with the sadistic fighting maniac in my impression.
If you say a bad word about Esdeath in front of a crowd, you will probably be immediately drowned in spit by her fanatical supporters.
After Lu Chen walked down the gangway.
Another small figure had been waiting in the square for a long time.
He wore a royal purple coat and a blue cloak, a crown on his head, and held a scepter made of pure gold in his hand.
Two people who looked like butlers stood beside him.
The little emperor of the empire.
Because he was young, he relied on the instructions and advice of Minister Ernest to carry out politics, and was basically a puppet and stamp-stamping tool of the ministers.
Although he has little real power, he is undoubtedly the ruler of the empire.
Since you are a ruler, you have to face the cruel fact of war failure.
[The surrender ceremony begins]
Following the announcement, the Star Alliance's military music began playing.
People were slightly startled and watched the scene with bated breath.
The little emperor walked tremblingly to Lu Chen and looked up at the man in military uniform.
Powerful and majestic.
A more competent ruler than himself.
"Empire, surrender to the Star Alliance."
He slowly knelt down, raised his hands above his head, and presented a decree written by himself.
"I... hereby announce my abdication and the abolition of all royal and aristocratic privileges and status."
"From now on, the Empire will be governed as a vassal of the Star Alliance, and all administrative matters will be decided by the sovereign."
"I am an incompetent emperor."
Because of nervousness, my body couldn't stop shaking.
"Oh--"
There was a commotion from the crowd. It was quite shocking to hear the emperor declare his surrender and become a vassal of another civilization.
Especially the abdication, abolition of royal status, and handing over all affairs to the suzerain state for management, which is basically equivalent to handing over the country.
"Very well, I accept surrender."
Lu Chen took the imperial edict from the little emperor.
There are also some seals, decorations, etc. that symbolize royal status.
Then he tapped the little emperor on the head with his scepter and spoke softly.
"I forgive your crimes. From now on, live here as an ordinary person."
He had no ill feelings towards the young emperor who ascended the throne at the age of only four.
He was just a poor child controlled by Ernest. There was no need to send him to the guillotine like in the original plot.
"Thank you."
The little emperor kowtowed deeply.
After being enlightened, he realized that it was Ernest and other nobles who deceived him and used him as a tool to rule the empire.
We also know how miserable their final fate was - tied up in the square and tortured to death by angry people.
