Although there were snakes around and ferocious beasts blocking the way, some people still approached slowly. Although his body was shaking uncontrollably because of fear, he still walked firmly. They were men and women, old and young, and they wore different clothes. There were mercenaries in black tarpaulin military uniforms, refugees in ragged clothes, and even children wearing crotchless pants.
Most of them are refugees from the water station and mercenaries from the master group. They are the people who Chen Xing helps the most and is closest to him.
Looking at the approaching crowd, Lacey hesitated. As Chen Xing guessed, she was the eldest princess of the principality. She was the Maris royal family with the highest reputation and status besides the Grand Duke and the Grand Prince, and represented the Red Dragon Principality.
In full public view, killing a minister who at least appeared to be conscientious and invested a large amount of money in the construction of Edge Town would indeed be chilling and would greatly damage her reputation.
But it doesn’t matter, he’s just a baron from Edge Town. Although it will cause some trouble, she is confident that she can handle it.
Most importantly, she must kill the other party. The amazing potential shown by the other party, the involvement of the other party and his sweetheart, and the humiliation and teasing several times, no matter which reason, are enough to kill the other party ten thousand times.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster.
As a ruling class, the most taboo thing is indecision.
No matter what the outcome was, she couldn't let the other person leave alive today.
Thinking of this, she made up her mind, took a step forward, pointed her sword at Mayor Bert who was blocking the front, and said coldly, "Get out of the way!"
"Your Highness the Princess..."
Mayor Bert still wanted to plead, but Lacey Jianfeng stepped forward an inch, and her voice suddenly increased: "I said, get out of the way!"
She originally thought that the old mayor of the edge town would compromise on this, but she didn't expect that the other party was determined to side with the untouchable. He opened his arms in front of her and shouted loudly: "If the eldest princess insists on killing Mayor Chen, Then step over my corpse!"
After saying that, he raised his head and closed his eyes, looking ready to be killed.
In fact, Mayor Bert was very panicked. He had kept to himself all his life and never dared to step out of line. He was always cautious when talking to his superiors, let alone princes and nobles. The eldest princess's aura alone could make him frightened. It’s just that he has no way out and must work hard for future meal tickets.
"Since you insist on dying, I, the princess, have no choice but to help you." Lacey's voice was cold, and her starry eyes showed strong murderous intent.
A few meters away, Mayor Anbixi, who did not dare to approach, knelt on his knees, kowtowed and shouted: "Your Highness, Princess, please be merciful!"
Even though he was timid and liked to be at ease, seeing that his old friend who had been with him for decades was about to be splattered with blood made him feel so sad that he couldn't care less.
Lao K, Da Mao, Cassie, Wu Jinjian and others were staring here, silent, with their hands on their weapons, as if they were ready to rush over and fight at any time.
Chen Xing saw it and was moved in his heart. Unexpectedly, there were so many people standing by his side in this desperate situation. Even if he dies today, he will die with no regrets.
"Are you so anxious to die?" Lacey asked expressionlessly, her eyes becoming colder and colder, like an ice pick hanging above her head, sharp and cold, and could fall down at any time and penetrate her head.
The Yulings felt their master's mood and took action one after another. The two-headed manticore clawed at the ground with its front paws and let out a low and dangerous roar. The group of snakes, led by the snake queen, formed a high white wall to block the approaching crowd, and spit out snake messages at them, making a sharp and ear-piercing cry.
"call out……"
At this moment, a pebble flew over and landed on Lacey. Before it even touched her body, it was bounced away by the psychic armor on her body.
"Bad princess, bad guy!"
A group of children ran out through the gap between the snakes. The one running at the front was a little girl in her early ten years. Her big eyes were full of stubbornness. She was the one who threw the stones.
Three years ago, her eldest brother rescued her from the evil master. Three years later, she also wanted to protect her eldest brother.
"That's her, that's her! The bad guy who wants to kill Big Brother, throw her to death!"
"Bad woman!" "Bad thing!" "We don't have such a princess!"
The children picked up gravel from the ground and threw it at Lacey.
In an instant, Lacey's pretty face seemed to be covered with ice, and the frost was bone-chilling. If looks could kill, a lot of people would be dead by now.
"Roar!"
The two-headed manticore rushed over and roared at the children, scaring them so much that they fell to the ground, and a few of them who were timid were so frightened that they cried.
"A bad princess will bully us poor people!" The little girl looked stubborn, picking up stones on the ground and throwing them at the manticore and Lacey.
"When we were hungry, only our eldest brother gave us food. When we were bullied by bad people, only our eldest brother helped us. You are the princess of this country. Not only did you not help us, you also wanted to kill our great benefactor. I, I hate you!"
"I hate you!"
Children's words are unbridled, but every word hurts the heart.
Lacey's face turned pale, her hand unconsciously loosened, and she almost lost her grip on the hilt of the sword.
The eldest princess, who was extremely beautiful and looked up to by everyone, was actually disliked by a child and insulted in public. What kind of feeling this is, even she herself can't explain.
At this moment, there was only hatred that penetrated her bones. If it wasn't for that person, how could she have fallen into this situation.
Her eyes passed through Mayor Bert and fell on the person behind, with murderous intent.
"Get away!" Lacey turned around and kicked Mayor Burt away, her sword pointed at Chen Xing again.
Even though he was so close, he could pierce the opponent's throat just half an inch forward and end everything.
But the sword in his hand seemed to be extremely heavy, and the half-inch distance was like crossing an abyss, and it couldn't be penetrated no matter what.
"Don't be afraid, everyone!"
Among the crowd, an old man stood out, holding the wooden stick in his hand high.
"Without adults, we might have died in the winter three years ago."
"It was the adults who took us out of the wasteland and gave us a warm home."
"We, the people of Gali Village, repay our kindness and vow to live and die with you!"
At the same time, a bearded man dressed as a chief, with animal bones hanging around his neck, raised his arms and shouted loudly: "We in the Sand tribe are all bloody men. We repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred!"
"We in Yanyang are the same. We must not let bad people harm you!" Another old man raised his arms and shouted.
"I swear to live and die with you!"
"Everyone, charge!"
The inspired crowd forgot their fear, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the high wall formed by the giant snakes.
Seeing the crowds of people coming and going, Lacey's face became increasingly pale, her body trembled, and her heart was shaken.
She is the eldest princess of this country, the most noble being, but she is regarded as an enemy by her people.
If she kills Chen Xing here, these people must be filled with hatred and spread the word. Their desperate attack at this moment cannot be concealed by an understatement.
Then she is only a few steps away from being ruined.
unless……
A crazy idea popped into her head.
Unless there are no witnesses.
This place is outside the satellite signal coverage area. As long as she kills her, no one can leave alive.
Just looking at it, there are tens of thousands of people. Can she be as cold-blooded and ruthless as Aaliyah, killing people without blinking an eye.
She secretly clenched her fists, confident that she could do it.
When the king was angry, millions of people lay dead and their blood flowed for thousands of miles.
Since ancient times, thrones have been made of bones and blood.
The king is destined to have blood on his hands.
The red country built its country by force, and the same goes for the principalities below. A benevolent monarch who is diligent, loves the people, is gentle and conservative has never been sought after by the people. A tyrant who kills decisively and expands territory is the backbone of the country.
She is the eldest princess of the principality, the Valkyrie in front of the throne, and tens of thousands of lives, what does it mean?
Thinking of this, Lacey felt at ease and her eyes became cold and calm again.
At the same time, Chen Xing, who was under the edge of the sword, saw the determination in Lacey's eyes.
She's going on a killing spree...
I saw her arm move, the sword tip was extended, and it stabbed straight into the throat.
"Wait!" Chen Xing grabbed the edge of the sword suddenly, blood dripping from his eyes, "Give me a minute, it only takes one minute!"
Lacey took back the sword. Now that things have happened, she has made up her mind.
Instead, I wasn't in a hurry. There was no rush to make a move, and he looked at the other party quietly, wanting to see what tricks the other party would play.
Chen Xing struggled to stand up, faced the crowd, and said with his last strength: "Everyone, go back..."
Instead of everyone dying in vain, it would be better to let him go alone. At least I feel at ease and candid. He would feel bad if so many people were involved.
"Everyone, go back!"
"Chen Xing already knows your thoughts."
"With your kindness, my life, Chen Xing, will not be in vain!"
In life, everything you do is nothing more than getting people's approval. As long as he knows that the things he has done are worthwhile, that is enough.
As he said that, he looked at Lacey and then at the crowd, "I am guilty. I violated the eldest princess first. I cannot escape the blame. It is natural for her to kill me. There is nothing to argue with."
The excited crowd gradually became quiet.
"The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. As a man, if you do something wrong, you must bear the consequences."
"Today I am punished by the law, and it is my honor to be executed by the eldest princess herself."
"Everyone, please go back. If there is an afterlife, we can be friends again."
After saying that, Chen Xing knelt down towards Lacey, looked into her starry eyes, and said calmly, "Let's do it, Your Royal Highness."
The crowd lost the excitement just now, replaced by silence and sadness.
The children hugged each other and sobbed quietly.
Lacey's sword pointed at Chen Xing, but the hand holding the sword hilt couldn't stop trembling.
She is a winner, but she can't feel the slightest joy of victory.
It was as if the loser kneeling in front of her was the real king, receiving the support and love of all people.
And she is just an empty vase.
No matter how beautiful and radiant she was, she lost all color and became dull in front of the other party.
Every respect and sadness here has nothing to do with her.
It was as if she was just an outsider in this land.
The strength and beauty she was confident of were not reflected at all here, but instead became a disturbing and disgusting interruption.
At this moment, her nobility was stepped into the mud, and she was as humble as an ant. Everything I was once proud of was shattered to pieces. She even began to wonder whether she was the eldest princess of this country or an orphan picked up from outside.
"Dang Cang..."
The sword fell to the ground, and she backed away in despair, as if the man in front of her was like a devil.
"ah!"
The emotions finally broke, like a flood of decisions. She held her head and screamed. The snakes forming the high wall instantly fell apart and turned into countless white light spots flying into the cracks in space.
The two-headed manticore felt the despair and pain of its master, and flew over with a low roar, rolled up its slender waist with its scorpion tail, flapped its bat wings and flew high into the sky.
After a few seconds of silence, the crowd burst into great joy, cheering and embracing as if it was a festival.
Watching the black dot disappear in the sky, Chen Xing's whole body went limp.
"Mayor Chen, have you done anything to disgrace the eldest princess?" Mayor Anbixi ran over immediately and asked excitedly while helping Chen Xing up.
"Aren't you the one who started the chaos and finally gave up..." When asked, Mayor Bert was a little in disbelief, but considering the super beauties around Chen Xing, it didn't seem impossible.
"Mr Qin, you are going too far. You already have Miss Ye Yang, how can you do this..." Cassie also came over, looking preachy.
Chen Xing knew they had misunderstood. In retrospect, the words used to excuse Lacey were indeed somewhat ambiguous, especially the words "violation", "as a man" and "done something wrong", which are indeed very easy to associate with Pian Pian.
So he denied it repeatedly. He didn't want to be hunted like this again. However, this kind of thing became more and more dark, and everyone showed an expression of "I understand", with a feeling of despair that they would not be able to wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River.
But he doesn't care anymore, misunderstandings are misunderstandings, anyway, he forcibly absorbed the Devil's Pot, his personal realm collapsed at any time, and it is unknown how long he can survive.
