Zach and the Knights were able to leave the battlefield as early as the city gate was closed. But because of greed, they did not "stop when they were good". Therefore, when the people around them began to plunder unscrupulously, these lucky guys participated. However, after the war horses were exhausted and they were quickly arrested in the subsequent bandit suppression operation.

Now that he has become a prisoner, Zach is no longer as powerful as before. He does not regret much now. He is thinking about how to raise ransoms - Zach has the status of a "knight". Even though the noble who enthroned him has long died on the battlefield, his identity is true. In this era, knights can be redeemed by ransom after being captured, so after this self-proclaimed knight was hit in the face by a rotten egg, he did not forget to stare at the surrounding civilians with cold eyes, as if he wanted to remember these people who insulted him.

Zach was tall and stood out from the crowd. His eyes really scared many people, but before he could glar a few times, the Iversta Knight riding a war horse on both sides whipped his head with a whip.

"Bang!"

In a loud voice, a blood mark suddenly appeared on Zach's face. The knight next to him pointed at Zach and scolded, "What are you looking at! You deserve to smoke, right?"

The scorching pain made Zach dare not look up. He knew that there was no meaning to get angry now, so he could only swallow his anger and secretly cursed the knight in his heart, vowing to educate him well after the redemption - but just as he was thinking about how to take revenge, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Because he remembered Roddy on the battlefield who seemed to be harmless but ended up killing two elders from two teams by himself.

The other party's magical archery skills were beyond his imagination. When he thought that such a terrifying guy could tolerate being humiliated by him in order to hide his identity... Zach trembled uncontrollably.

Who is he? The elite of "Rose Cross"?

Zach still doesn't know who Roddy is, but as this team of prisoners penetrates into the city, the words of the residents around him float into their ears-

"Have you watched "The Age of Karen" today? Big news!"

"I can't read, I can't understand, please tell me..."

Paper newspapers have been basically popularized after establishing more than ten paper mills in Iverstah. However, "The Age of Karen" has begun to enter the charging mode after the fourth issue, and there are many people holding newspapers on the street. Farmers in the village are unwilling to spend money to buy them, but for residents living in the "Sanctuary" city, the prices of newspapers are still low. In order to obtain fresh news from all over the kingdom, they don't mind paying a few copper coins at all. After all, spreading the latest news to the illiterate around them can gain a lot of superiority and satisfaction.

"This issue is about the 'Shrine'! The above talks about the battle process of the previous few days, and even counts the casualties in all villages..."

"The newspaper said that all this was a conspiracy of the "Virgate Cross"! Their sneak attacks caused the lives of the villages and towns within the "Sanctuary", and the Earl of Mirno who led them was even more shameless..."

Rody's newspaper pointed his finger at the "Virgate Cross" and "Earl of Milno", without mentioning the royal family at all, so people's hatred was concentrated on these two forces at once. Cooperating with the bloody numbers and personal descriptions, it is estimated that ordinary people in the kingdom would easily feel disgusted with them.

"This damn pagan group!"

"If the powerful temple guard had not killed the two enemy leaders, the entire city would probably have been done!"

When Zach heard someone say something next to him, he turned his head slightly. He knew that the "powerful temple guard" in the other party was "Raphael"... So, is the other party an undercover agent of "Rose Cross"?

The guy who can tell the newspaper sarcastically said: "What temple guards! You all guessed wrongly... Do you know? The two leaders of the "Virer Cross" were Cardinal Claude and the other was Elder Dean. They were both powerful men! They could destroy the entire temple guards with a wave of their hand! And the archer who killed them - you would never think of who they were!"

"Who?"

"His identity was mentioned in the newspaper?"

This suspense immediately attracted people around him, and Zach and the captured knights around him turned their heads, and the entire team even slowed down.

"It's Everta's cabinet prime minister, Lord Roddy!"

"ah?!"

"How is that possible!?"

The crowd suddenly became an uproar, but after that, they all fell into silence. The name of "Rody" actually came to their ears very early, but it was far from Everta, and the rumors about him were not adapted into any story by the bard, so no one thought of this powerful "cabinet prime minister" for a while. However, this time, "The Karen Age" directly admitted that Rody killed Dean and Crowder. After carefully relating to the past news, people all agreed to this fact...

"Lord Roddy led the team to kill hundreds of orcs, right?"

"Yes, didn't you still say that he went to the Tasman Kingdom to kill Emperor Augustine? He killed all the powerful undead monarchs. What can Dean and Claude be?"

"The God of Light is above... It turns out that the Prime Minister is so powerful!"

Because Zach was pushed forward by the crowd, the conversation was quickly unaware of it, but now he grew up with fear like all the knights around him. A guy next to him who had ridiculed Roddy before asked stutter: "He, he, is he really the Prime Minister of Everta? I don't think it's like..."

Zach shut his mouth, and now he really doesn't want to say anything: it is precisely because no one can see the flaw that he feels that this Prime Minister is terrible!

Suddenly, a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart - he turned his head and looked at the cavalry with the Iversta mark on his armor around him. He swallowed and couldn't help but think of a question: Will Roddy be very revenge? Then he listed them all as guys who needed "special treatment"?

No, probably not. The "Temple" is the main place for the "Rose Cross" to preach doctrine. Zach knows that this sect pays great attention to "benevolence" and "the God of Light will forgive all sins". As a knight, he will never be sentenced to them seriously...

This is the deep-rooted class thinking: if civilians break the law, they must be severely punished according to the laws set by the lord. If knights and nobles break the law, they have another set of rules to treat them. Just because they are the "privileged class" and "ruling class", in most battles in the Kingdom of Karen, knights and even the entourages of knights were captured alive, because this is the source of wealth that can be exchanged for a large amount of ransom, and no one will refuse.

With this idea, these more than 300 arrested guys came to the square of the temple. At this moment, standing on the temporary wooden platform was the powerful knight Wellington. Because he participated in the front-line battle to suppress bandits, his armor was still stained with blood. The murderous aura made the "Holy Cult Army" knights present silent. Most of them lowered their heads, but more were curious about why they came here, and they didn't understand why they had to build a wooden platform here.

Wellington stood there like a sculpture without saying anything. The whole scene was very depressing, and even the onlookers dared to speak in a low voice. Not long after, Cardinal Rubens arrived from the inner city with a team of men. He was wearing a red robe holding a saint and read out the decisions of the Pope and the Cardinal Order, with the general meaning as follows:

Because the combat troops were mainly composed of Iversa's army, "Rose Cross" expressed gratitude for this and voluntarily gave up the right to dispose of all prisoners of war. Wellington, the current leader of Iversa's army, ruled the guilt of all prisoners of war.

As soon as these words came out, the entire crowd of onlookers began to discuss - this was in the "Temple" city! Why did I suddenly make the people of Everta decide?

However, anyone with discerning eyes can see that this is a very strong political signal. Once this example is opened, it means that the "Temple" will gradually follow Iversa. Who knows whether the laws here will be implemented in a few years?

Wellington was a soldier-style and very straightforward. He came forward to take the saint metaphor, turned around and shouted: "Robbery, rape, kill civilians, burn the village, kill according to the law of Iversa!"

As soon as the word "kill" came out, the square where the "buzz" was discussed was silent and the needle was heard. The fully armed Iversa Knights stepped up and pulled the "Holy Cult Army" knights with a confused face onto the wooden platform, with their hands on the knife, and their heads rolling...

"You guys, you can't do this!"

Looking at the blood spurted out from the neck cavity, the bandits below were panicked and wailed and wanted to escape, but where could they run away with their hands tied? They were knocked down by the guards next to them with weapons and dragged them onto the stage one by one, and continued to kill the sky and darkness.

Zach was trembling all over and couldn't figure out why Everta did this, but Wellington was too lazy to think about what these guys thought. Thirty people in a row were chopping off all the more than 300 people.

This is the real blood flowing into a river. The smell of blood soaring into the sky on the wooden platform made the onlookers pale. Many people vomited on the spot. However, as these people were killed, the cheers gradually spread, until the heads were piled up into mountains, and the shouts were already ringing...

“Beautiful job!”

"Long live Everta! These damn guys!"

"Good kill!"

These more than 300 heads are not only a demonstration against the "Virgate Cross" and Earl of Milno, but also a prelude to a huge change for Rubens, who was watching more deeply.
