Blasphemy: Part 5 Overture

Chapter 5 Prelude Now there is only one last step left to bring stability to the Principality of Arei, and that is to kill the Xia Shang clan who have caused the people's resentment as deep as the abyss.

The execution place was originally planned to be held in the main square in the west of the city, but because almost the entire Latvian city wanted to watch the execution ceremony, the main square could not accommodate so many people, so Rogge temporarily changed the execution place to the city. outside.

On the day of the execution, Latvia was almost overflowing with people, and the area around the execution site was filled with people.

Dozens of gallows were arranged in a square formation, which looked shocking. Not only Xia Shang's immediate family members were put on the execution ground this time, but also more than ten of his main accomplices. Almost every Latvian knows the names of these people, and it is naturally very satisfying to see them go to the gallows with their own eyes this time.

On the temporary high platform, Rogge sat upright, looking solemn and majestic.

On the high platform, a tall, fat, and loud-voiced official was chanting at the top of his lungs the charges against Xia Shang and others. He had been shouting for half an hour, his whole body was dripping with sweat, and he had only read a third of the long book of accusations in his hand.

Seeing that the prosecutor could no longer hold up, another prosecutor who was also tall, fat, and full of power took over his job. Despite the assistance of amplification magic, no one could hear what they were chanting amidst the noise and curses of a hundred thousand people. But it doesn't matter, as long as they see the ridiculously long indictment in their hands, people are already furious, with old and new hatreds rushing into their hearts at the same time.

Amid impassioned accusations, nearly a hundred people were taken to the execution ground and sent to the gallows. Every person hanging on the gallows has been personally reviewed by Rogge to ensure that no one is too implicated and that no one with huge public anger will be spared. These people were so languid that they were almost dragged to the gallows. They all seemed to acquiesce in their guilt, and no one cried out for injustice or defended themselves. In fact, they were already speechless. Before being dragged to the execution ground, Rogge had cut out their tongues.

Amid thunderous cheers, the pedals of the gallows were pulled away one after another, and bodies were suspended in the air.

"Are you satisfied now?" Rogge smiled and said to Dulin and Bauhinia Butterfly sitting next to him.

Du Lin did not expect that Rogge would attack so cruelly and kill him so completely. He has been locked up in prison and does not know much about the situation outside. However, Bauhinia Butterfly knew that everyone on the gallows had a way to die, but she did not take it seriously and whispered: "Aren't these people all you appointed?" Are you from the occupied territories? Your purpose in doing this is just to transfer the people's hatred of you to them. Now that you come out to kill them, at least in the hearts of most people, you have changed from a traitor to a wise and benevolent person. Monarch. Aren't you?"

Roger laughed deeply and said: "I can't hide this from you, yes, yes! The Moon Night Knight is really powerful. But since the people in the occupied area have been harmed, I will compensate them. Except for the big merchants , except for the great nobles, I am going to exempt the civilians in the occupied areas from taxes for two years. Maybe this is not enough, but it is still much better than the old royal family, right? You must know that no matter what noble reasons are used to fight the war, the most painful people in the war are always the ones who suffer the most. They are people who are defenseless. At least compared to the old royal family, I ask myself that it can bring a stable, peaceful and prosperous life to the people. In the past, you were bent on restoring the old royal family. Is it really a good thing for the people? ?"

Both the Dulin brothers and sisters were a little surprised. Is Rogge really a benevolent monarch? They couldn't refute Rogge, but seeing Rogge's endless cruel methods, they always felt that something was wrong.

After the execution was completed, Rogge announced that the occupied area would be tax-free for two years, which naturally led to thunderous cheers.

The last scene is when the two rebel leaders Jonathan and Gugar installed by Rogge came to surrender with their troops and swore allegiance in public. Rogge announced a pardon for them on the spot. Not only that, Rogge also announced a one-month amnesty period for the rebels who are still active. As long as they surrender during this period, everything will be forgotten.

Seeing the decline of the two resistance leaders who had always been in trouble with her in the past, Redbud Butterfly looked a little unnatural. She vaguely guessed that they might be moles planted by Rogge in the resistance. But strictly speaking, they were the real initiators of the resistance. It was already two weeks later when Redbud Butterfly launched the resistance.

Could it be said that Rogge had already arranged these things that day? A cold current passed through her heart. Although Bauhinia Butterfly was also familiar with political strategy, her strength lay in marching and fighting. When it came to politics, she mostly talked about it on paper. How could she be the opponent of a traitor like Rogge?

Thinking about how she was forced to surrender, she couldn't help but sigh secretly. Now she only hopes that Yunxiao City can understand her helplessness and that the goddess of nature can forgive her betrayal. Redbud Butterfly still has a trace of fantasy. She wants to promote the reconciliation between Rogge and Yunxiao City. In that case, she will have a chance to return to the belief in the goddess of nature.

But she still didn't know that this little bit of fantasy would never have a chance to come true.

Rogge said to Dulin again: "You have been following me for some time, but there has been nothing to do. Now there is something you need to do. You can pick out one thousand from the old headquarters of Wright Fortress. It is best to find Those who are from poor families and are willing to serve the principality will form an independent army and it will be up to you to command them. These soldiers will be free as long as they serve the principality for three years. At that time, they can follow their own wishes Choose to continue joining the army or leave the army and become a civilian. During these three years, their military pay will be the same as that of the principality’s soldiers. I think these military pay should be helpful to their families."

Rogge continued: "Take them to the central mountains to investigate the situation of the orc tribe. The orcs have great reproductive power, so don't form a large army when we don't care. You don't need to go too deep. As long as there are no large-scale orc activities near the principality, it will be fine. Whatever equipment you need, just ask."

Du Lin said somewhat unexpectedly: "Master Rogge, aren't you afraid that I will lead these people to rebel?"

Rogg laughed and said: "Du Lin, I think I still have some ability to judge people. Since you promised me, you will not go back on it."

Du Lin still didn't give up and just asked: "What if I really rebel?"

Rogg said calmly: "Since I have decided to use you, I will let it go. My enemies either dominate a country or are powerful. If you are afraid of your small army of a thousand people, how can I succeed? What's the big deal? If you really leave and never come back, then even if I don't know the person, it's not a big deal. We northern warriors always believe that the battlefield is the final destination of warriors. The bravest soldiers of the past coalition forces are imprisoned in Wright Fortress. , Archduke Kerry recently tried to completely solve the Leyte Fortress problem several times, but I always pushed back. I arranged this mission just to take these warriors out of Leyte in batches. Even if you really rebel, then For these warriors, it is always better to die on the battlefield than to be killed in prison."

Dulin was silent for a moment, and finally said: "Thank you, Lord Rogge!"

Rogg nodded and talked to Bauhinia Butterfly about the principality’s military training.

In Fatty's eyes, the most precious thing Charlie left to him was the complete knight training system. This training system is derived from the training method of the Holy Knights of the Church of Light, but it is different. The entire training method removes the divine magic and special combat skills based on faith of the holy knights, and instead adds many combat skills based on ordinary fighting spirit and independent combat tactics of knights in actual combat. After all, the Holy Knights have a large number of light mages, and when they work together, their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the pure knights. Many of their tactics are simply not something that ordinary knights can do.

With this system, as long as time passes, well-trained knights will be produced in an endless stream. It's just that Holy Knights have always relied heavily on sophisticated equipment, and Charlie is no exception. If the trained knights want to fully exert their combat effectiveness, they must be equipped with many specially designed equipment. Rogge can form a new Spartan Knights, but the principality's fragile finances and empty treasury cannot support a large-scale knights.

The training system that Charlie built with great effort cultivates powerful knights similar to golden lions. Redbud Butterfly, who was born in Hanyue Camp, is familiar with combat and training of various arms. The training system she established can very effectively train rookies. Train to become an elite soldier on the battlefield.

Roger suddenly felt something in his heart. The City of Yunxiao established Hanyue Camp and spent decades cultivating these military and political talents. What was the purpose? Is it that the Wrath of the Sky wants to live up to the imperial addiction, or are the Druids preparing to become a powerful force beyond the country like the Church of Light?

No matter what the Druid's ultimate goal is, Rogge is ready to destroy it to the end.

After several twists and turns, Rogge finally stabilized the occupied area. Even if this situation is only temporary, he can finally deal with Yunxiao City wholeheartedly.

On the way back to Dresden, Rogge read through the latest treasury report. After exterminating Xia Shang's family and confiscating his family, he could only get 300,000 gold coins, and a considerable part of it was property and artwork. However, during this period, he had been spending money like water. The money he spent on Night Dancer and Shadow alone had exceeded 100,000 gold coins. Ten thousand gold coins.

In order to spread the news of Wella's challenge to the Silver Dragon King throughout the dragon world, Rogge was severely blackmailed for another hundred thousand gold coins. This time, Shadow and Dark Night Dancer both asked for the same price. I wonder if they had negotiated, leaving Fatty helpless. Taking into account the expenses of operating the principality's institutions and the cost of training the Redbud Butterfly army, Rogge suddenly discovered that in two months, the last gold coin in the principality's treasury would be exhausted, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

The fat man is finally poor.

As for whether Fengyue is confident in challenging the Silver Dragon King, Fatty is not too worried. He had designated Dresden as the location for the decisive battle in his letter of challenge. If the situation was unfavorable then, it would be on Fatty's territory anyway, so he had already made up his mind to swarm them.

According to Xiusna Fox, the most outstanding genius among the Silver Dragon clan for hundreds of years is Nicholas. The possibility that the Silver Dragon King is more powerful than the Silver Miracle is very low. What's more, with the Black Dragon clan watching eagerly, how could the Silver Dragon King leave Moonlight Dragon City and accept such an inexplicable challenge? This shows that Master Fengyue is unparalleled in wisdom, and this is actually the way to provoke Nicholas.

Roger disagreed, but he knew that the Silver Dragon King had lived for thousands of years and was old even by the standards of the dragon clan. It was indeed difficult to be stronger than Nicholas in his prime.

Now that the message has been sent, all that's left is to wait.

Three days later, Rogge had returned to Dresden. As soon as he stepped into the Grand Duke's mansion, the old steward came up to him with a strange look on his face and lowered his voice: "Princess Malika, please go to her room immediately as soon as you come back. If she has any instructions."

Roger raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly: "I'll go right away, you come with me first."

After finding a secluded place, the boss briefly and comprehensively described the important events that had happened recently.

A few days after Princess Malika arrived in Dresden, the poet Lei Luo also came. While he was busy putting down the rebellion and hunting down the redbud butterfly, Malika and Lei Luo openly went out together. Lei Luo would often go to the Grand Duke's palace to have trysts with Malika in the name of discussing poetry with Malika. Avoid. The people in the Grand Duke's mansion had already been talking about it, but it involved an imperial princess and they were afraid that Rogge would be angry, so no one dared to inform Rogge of the news.

Rogg smiled slightly and said, "Is Lord Lei Luo here now?"

The old manager shook his head.

Roger nodded, his expression was as usual, and he walked towards the main building where the princess lived.

In the living room, Princess Malika sits in the middle. Julie only moved a chair for Roger, and placed it at the bottom.

"Prince Rogge! I have been in Dresden for two weeks, and I just saw you for the first time today. You are so busy!"

Roger smiled and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. The rebellion in the territory must be put down as soon as possible, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe. Besides, isn't Master Lei Luo accompanying you these days? I heard that You had a very happy life."

Malika was startled. She never expected that Rogge would not be angry at all, and a look of contempt flashed across her face. Julie even whispered: "What a useless man!"

Roger sat with a smile, as if he didn't hear what Julie was saying at all.

Malica said: "Prince Rogge, I invited you here today just to inform you that I have decided to terminate our marriage and marry Lei Luo!

Roger was startled and said: "Princess Malika, this joke is inappropriate!"

Malika said coldly: "This is no joke! All you care about is the prince's title, but in my eyes, love is more sacred than anything else! I have no choice but to forgive you once. In fact, the Grand Duke of the Empire It’s already a great compliment to you!”

Rogge said seriously: "Princess, I think you also know how big the difference is between a prince and a duke! Are you playing with me? Huh! I have spent the past few years on the battlefield, not You are as timid as you imagine! Although I can't do anything to you, Master Lei Luo..."

Julie immediately interjected: "Master Lei Luo is a good friend of Prime Minister Straw. Do you dare to touch him?"

Marika shouted: "Julie!"

She turned to Rogge and said: "You have no choice in this matter! I think you still don't know that your backer Pompey recently suffered heavy losses in the battle at the Gate of the Abyss. His father was extremely angry and was preparing for a heavy blow. Punish him! So you can't threaten me, and Lord Straw is not someone you can afford to offend."

Rogg was silent for a moment, his tone softened, and he said: "Princess Malika, the prince is very important to me! In fact, according to the noble tradition, you can freely interact with Lord Lei Luo, and I will never interfere. Or so. , what kind of position does Lord Lei Luo want to hold in the principality? Or does he want something else?"

"Not everyone values ​​money and power as important as you do!"

Rogg looked at Malika with a determined look, frowning and remaining silent.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and an elf mage came to Rogge, handed a magic-blessed scroll to Rogge, and whispered: "Magic urgent message from Master Rockefeller."

Roger immediately unrolled the book and started reading.

Julie frowned and shouted: "Don't you understand etiquette at all? Her Royal Highness the Princess is summoning you, how dare you deal with chores at this time?"

Roger smiled slightly, and the magic scroll burned and turned into ashes in his hand.

He stood up and walked towards Malika, saying: "Dear Malika, don't you want to see my magic? I'm a pretty good magician!"

Roger waved his hand~IndoMTL.com~A life-like black rope was generated out of thin air. The rope tied Julie's hands and hung her up.

"Dear Malika, I really can't do anything to you, but it's a different matter for other people."

After a few chichis, Rogge tore off Julie's clothes. A long whip wrapped with a faint black aura immediately appeared in his hand. With a slight flick of his wrist, the long whip struck Julie hard!

Julie suddenly screamed and fainted from the pain on the spot! However, the next whip woke her up in severe pain.

Rogge whipped her several times until Julie was about to die.

He smiled at Malika and said: "My dear, you see, actually I am not that timid."

Rogg turned around and shouted: "Who's here! Capture that Lei Luo, remember, he must be alive!"

"Are you...are you crazy?" Malika was completely stunned and stammered.

"No, I'm not crazy." Rogge's smile was as warm as the sun. "I just decided that it's time to start a full-scale war with the druids!"
