Chapter 692: Prestigious Summit 1

Rattle rattle .

Along with the sounds of dull chains, more than a hundred personnel were chained and moved in the direction towards Brandon’s central square .

Quite a few people had come to the royal city and watched them, even Jack, a peddler who came up from the city early morning .

“Look there, who are they? They seem like prisoners from the way they are being taken . ”

His partner, who was beside him, responded with a snort .

“They are the traitors . They were the ones who tried to defame His Majesty during the war . ”

The prisoners’ procession was of radical republicans and the corrupt nobles who were caught trying to instigate the rebellion by helping out the spies of the Libiya Kingdom .

“Really? Somehow, this seems way too extreme to me…”

As Jack said that, people who were on the streets began to swear and pointed fingers at the prisoners .

“Kill those guys and tear them down!”

“No matter how blind they are to power, this is too much!”

“You filthy red dawn men! You were trying to start a revolution by holding hands with the rotten nobles and striking down Our Majesty who is trying to protect the people?”

“Destroy the three generations of the corrupt nobles and confiscate their property!”

There were a lot of words and screams, however, no one threw stones or dirt like the past .

It was because Luke was informed that such acts caused damage and distress to the soldiers who were escorting the prisoners .

In addition, thanks to the promotion of the temples and the magic schools which said that dirtying the streets wasn’t good for hygiene and could spread infectious disease .

So, no one wanted to throw out objects after learning all that, but people didn’t hold back their spit .

“Kyak~Thu!”

“Thu! Thu! Thu!”

Prisoners frowned and hid their faces when people spit at them .

Even more painful than the spitting was the honor and pride which had been snatched off them .

It was even more for the radical republicans than the corrupt nobles .

“Damn it, this is all because of you! I should have never joined hands with such a greedy noble!”

“Do you think that I would have done this if I knew this was going to happen?!”

The Red Dawn members, who were being punished for treason, began to quarrel among themselves .

Soldiers who were holding the line, swung their clubs .

“Shut up, you pieces of crap! What right to sinners like you have to talk your mind?”

“Kuak! I just wanted real revolu…”

“You bastard, you think taking down the ruler is the right way of revolution?”

The soldier hit back and yelled at the men .

“What is with that man?”

As Philip, the commander of the 1st squad, the one in charge of executions of the nobles asked, the lieutenant answered .

“Some time back, it was said that he was a republican yet he took admission into the army as a soldier . ”

“What? He is a republican?”

“Yes, he is interested in it, but is not in favor of the radical actions, and he said that there was no reason to question his loyalty for Your Majesty . ”

Although the soldier was a republican, he wasn’t taken seriously because he was only a believer and not a rebel .



However, he ended up getting caught in a situation of treason because of his companions, and had no choice but to suffer during the current war .

Moreover, after being sent back fine from the interrogation unit, the soldiers were shunned by his superior and it was hard for him to look at those republicans in front of his eyes .

“I also read the books written by the republicans . I don’t think that the world has degraded enough for you men to do what you claim . ”

“But there is the Volga Republic!”

“Those people have left behind the title system . Even if the ability precedes blood, taking care of one’s offspring is no different from ours . ”

“This is a place where people live their lives without oppression . ”


“Well, that is true . ”

While Philip was talking with the lieutenant, a convoy arrived at the central square .

Things prepared in advance .

Maybe they didn’t expect it, but the nobles, traitors, including Viscount Lamerit too were shocked .

“Wha- we are being hanged?”

“That isn’t a single hanged type!”

On the Rhodesia Continent, there were multiple methods for executing the criminals who resorted to robbery or murder .

In the case of felony and treason, the people were beheaded as punishment .

And nobles did prefer that kind of a thing .

It was because unlike the hanging, where the tongue struck out and died ugly, the guillotine kept the face as it is .

In addition, there was an ancient belief for knights that died in the hands of a weapon that they would be saved by the god of war from going to hell .

“We are not at fault! If you want to kill us, do it in one strike!”



At Viscount Lamerit’s protest, Philip frowned .

“Look at that, there are a lot of ways to subject the sinners . There is no choice given to you where you can go die this way or die that way . Don’t you know that the Grenada King, Fernando, was hanged too?”

“We are no dirty pirate monsters!”

“What is so different from you?! Fernando or you men, you are all a group of nasty thieves!”

Luke and the other heads of the Symphonia Kingdom had no intention of giving any honor to the rebels .

That was why they were going ahead with the execution method which the Holy Empire started .

“Execute the sentence!”

When the loud order fell from Philip’s mouth, the soldiers dragged the prisoners in the lead and hung the noose around their necks .

“Let, let go!”

“Luke! We were the ones who made you the king!”

“Save me! Please give me another chance…!”

The words of the prisoners varied according to their body’s fight or flight, there were those who yelled and those who begged .

But after a while, they all looked the same .

The soldiers pulled the rope, and the prisoners struggled with their legs .

The prisoners waiting for their turn trembled and cried when they saw it .

“Hahaha, look at that kid crying . ”

“It is too late to regret now, you idiot!”

The people who watched the execution made fun or laughed .



For the sake of the Kingdom, they thought that such men had to be disposed of right away .

Thus, the end of the rebels was miserable .

‘With this, the anxiety in the nation has been cleared off . ’

A bell tower located near the central square .

From the bell tower, Luke was looking at the central square .

Although Arsene’s tactics ended up as a failure, there were benefits for Luke .

First, the Holy Empire occupied the Grenada Kingdom, and completely annihilated the remnants of pirates .

In the future, the trade ships going to and from the Southern continent would no longer be attacked by the pirates, and the safety of the cities and villages on the coasts were secured .

Second, eliminating the discontent within the Kingdom .

The founding of the Symphonia Kingdom weakened the power of the nobles and strengthened the power of the royal family .

On the contrary, some nobles were looking for chances because of the resentment of losing their power .

Since things were organized, the Kingdom would be quiet for a while .

Smirk .

With a satisfied smile on his lips, Luke headed to the black tower .
