Hail the King

Chapter 1098: Savior on the Northern Gate of St. Petersburg (Part Two)

On the northern gate of St. Petersburg, many Zenitian nobles, warriors, military officers, merchants, and civilians were butchered using all kinds of excuses and made-up crimes.

The Barcelonans placed these heads together and created more than 100 hills that were more than 100 meters tall, using these as deterrents to warn others.

Any family members, loved ones, and friends of the dead had to pay a hefty price if they wanted to claim the corpses.

…

It was gloomy today, and hundreds of Zenitians were dragged to the northern gate of St. Petersburg.

”I’m framed! I’m blind! How can I observe and spy on the military? I’m wronged!”

”Damn demons! B*stards! You took all my properties and want to kill my family? You are bandits! You will get yours!”

”Hahaha! Long live the Zenit Empire! B*stards! Just wait! One day, Zenitians will take revenge!”

”Mom! Mom! Where are you? I didn’t do anything wrong! I don’t want to die…”

Cries and howls resonated in the sky. Hundreds of people were tied in ropes, and they were all injured as the soldiers of puppet Zenit whipped them. These people were dragged to the execution ground on the northern gate of St. Petersburg. Some of them cried and begged for mercy, some of them cursed in anger, and some of them were children under ten years old who cried in their powerless mothers’ arms.

These people were the third group for today.

A lot more people were forced to come here and watch the bloody executions. Barcelonans were trying to kill these people to warn others! They wanted to use merciless killing to deter those Zenitians who were still thinking about fighting back.

More than a dozen Barcelonan officers at on the high stage in the execution ground, and they laughed in excitement as they watched these Zenitians struggle before death.

”These dirty low-lives should have been all killed without mercy. Leaving them alive will only cause more problems for the empire in the future.”

”It is ok, hahaha! We can kill them slowly! We can toy with them slowly! Hahaha! Last night, I enjoyed a noble virgin of Zenit! That taste, tsk… Although the Northern Region is remote and barbaric, these women are full of flavor, hahaha!”

These Barcelonan officers who were laughing and joking created a sharp contrast with those Zenitians who were crying tragically.

Soon, more than 100 prisoners were pushed onto the execution ground, and they were bound and forced to kneel. Behind them, Barcelonan executioners raised their giant execution sabers with viciousness and excitement on their faces.

A young mother’s clothes were ragged, and she was shivering. However, she was still using her thin body to protect her child who was less than three years old. She was hoping for a miracle to take place, and she was trying to use her last bit of effort to protect her son.

”Prepare….” a Barcelonan officer laughed and announced the execution, ”Chop!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chilly lights were reflected by the execution sabers, and blood spilled in all directions. Heads rolled on the ground, creating white vapor in this slightly-cold air.

”Mom… mom…” a three-year-old child cried.

However, the vicious smiles on the faces of these Barcelonan officers froze.

Those Zenitians who were forced to watch this execution all cheered in pleasant surprise.

The heads that were rolling on the ground didn’t belong to the tied prisoners but the executioners.

People didn’t know where the terrifying energy came from, but it instantly chopped off the heads of these executioners before anyone could react.

Everything happened too fast!

Those more than 100 executioners’ bodies were standing still, but blood gushed out of their necks and into the sky like water coming out of fountains.

People weren’t sure when, but a figure appeared on the execution ground.

This man’s black long hair looked like a waterfall, and his white robe fluttered in the wind.
