Chapter 1012 243. He still has to say thank you

The first door opened, and the husband who had lost his wife rushed towards the knight with an axe in hand.

The second door, the third door...

More and more residents rushed out to look for their loved ones, release their neighbors from the prison carts, and vent their anger at the dead knights and horses.

"We won." Annan said softly.

The city guards at the city gate stood outside the street and did not dare to come in.

Annan asked his captain to negotiate with them and to hurry up to fabricate evidence: to search the evidence from the Free Blade members and stuff it into the knights' bodies, and then to tell the residents: "They are undercover agents of the kingdom who went into the suburban slums to search for the Free Blade, but were discovered by the Free Blade who infiltrated the Knights."

After throwing the dirty water, Annan returned to the city guards with all the corpses and the residents whose family members died in the massacre.

This was no small commotion, the massacre on the streets and the annihilation of the Knights were no small matter… More and more people knew about it, and the people behind the Knights broke a bunch of expensive teacups after learning about it.

Annan didn't go anywhere. He just waited for trouble to come to the city guards, and at the same time deepened the soldiers' impression that "the Knights are the Blades of Freedom".

These corpses cannot be collected for the time being, but the temperature in the dungeon is not high, so it will take three days for them to decay.

Standing in the room where the bodies of the Free Blades were placed, Annan said softly, "I'm sorry, I need to use your bodies for a while. When I'm done, I'll take you back to Liberty City and bury you in the warriors' cemetery."

After walking out of the cell, the clerk asked if we should ask a wizard to purify the dungeon. There were too many dead bodies, which could easily breed undead creatures.

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Undead creatures have nothing to do with them when they were alive." The clerk explained in confusion.

Isn't Master Olme a mage? How come he doesn't even know this?

"Okay, I'll do as you say. But forget about the Knights," Annan said. "I want to kill them one more time."

Three hours after the tragedy, the nobles behind the Knights of Sesu came knocking on the door.

Viscount Lien angrily storms into the city guards with his personal guards and mages, seeking revenge for the executioner who murdered his own knights.

As a result, when Annan saw him, he shouted coldly: "Catch him! All the members of his Knights of Free Blade are involved, and he can't escape it."

Viscount Lien, who was a step late, laughed in anger: "You dare to arrest me?"

"Your men are all Free Blades, so what's wrong with arresting you?"

"You said my men were Free Blades?!"

This is a false accusation! This is a baseless accusation!
"The evidence is irrefutable, and you still want to deny it? Otherwise, you don't think that a small city guard like me would dare to go against the Knights."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Viscount Ryan's head.

He came to call for punishment three hours later because of this... How dare a mere city guard officer destroy an entire order of knights and go against him?
Then he found out that the Minister of Military Affairs was behind Olme. Renato was indeed capable of doing this, but why?
"Want to know why? Follow me."

Annan turned and walked towards the dungeon.

Viscount Lien said nothing and followed with his guards.

They came to the dungeon, and Viscount Lien's eyelids twitched when a knight in armor was thrown into a cell at random: "Are you provoking me?" Annan said nothing, and continued to move forward to the bodies where the Free Blade was placed. He pointed at one of them and said: "He is Chalkin, one of the spies planted by the City Guard in the slums. When your knights showed up, they cut three wounds on him without saying anything."

"He is Brent, one of the traitors. Your Knights stabbed him in the chest from behind with a sneak attack. He is Hoss. When he revealed his identity and begged for mercy, your Knights grabbed his hair and slit his throat. He is Max... He is Jack... He is Ron..."

What he said seemed to be true. Could it be that the Knights really killed their own people...?
But no matter what, Viscount Lien would never admit it, and Annan would never give in.

The two sides found a balance and gave up on killing each other, but instead maintained the intensity of "finding an explanation."

Viscount Lien believed that Annan was not qualified to talk to him, so he went to the sheriff to ask for an explanation. Then the sheriff kicked the ball back to Annan: it was Young Master Olme who took action, and the city guards were not aware of it.

They argued all the way to the Minister of War.

"Sir Renato, you have a good nephew." Relying on the loss of a knight order, Viscount Lien sneered.

"I think so too. Uncle Renato, I eliminated a group of Freeblades lurking in the Knights. Can I get a promotion?"

The military minister looked at Annan, then at Viscount Lien, and said something fair: "Whether they are the Free Blades or not, and whether they have betrayed the kingdom, we will know after investigating what they have done."

Viscount Ryan's face turned pale.

He sent people to investigate. They might be the Free Blades... No, they were definitely framed, but the massacre of innocent residents was definitely true...

"My men only suspect they are the Freeblades," Viscount Ryan said without blinking.

"Is that so? Article 15 of the Kingdom Law states that all citizens are protected by the Kingdom, and anyone who harms them will be considered an enemy."

"What is Article 38?" the Military Minister suddenly asked.

"Nobles who kill or injure civilians must pay a ransom." Annan spent dozens of minutes memorizing the law to deal with Viscount Lien. "But the Knights are not nobles, so they are not eligible to pay a ransom."

Viscount Lien remained silent, and Annan took advantage of the situation to pursue him: "Viscount, if I were you, not only would I not bring an army to punish the culprit, but I would also thank those who helped cover it up."

"Because the Knights must die. Only when they die can I spread the word that it is the Free Blade who is killing people and committing crimes. The Knights all sacrificed themselves to protect the residents. If they don't die... then you will be the sinner who condoned your subordinates and killed civilians and undercover agents."

Viscount Lien broke out in a cold sweat, not because of Annan's words, but because the military minister was holding this evidence to hold him accountable...

By then, not only will he not be able to exonerate the Knights, but he himself will be caught in the vortex.

"Do you understand, Viscount Lien?" the Military Minister spoke.

"Understood……"

Viscount Lien could only swallow his anger and suffer this great loss.

In contrast, Olmeshao's name jumped into the eyes of the bigwigs. They couldn't help but wonder what Renato's intention was in letting his nephew firmly oppose the Free Blade.

On the other hand, although Annan had "accomplished great things", it would be difficult for him to be promoted to sheriff... After all, he had only been in the job for less than a week.

However, a turning point came on the third day - news came from the palace that the king expressed his appreciation for Olmey.

Annan was promoted, but Clo did not react. Clo did not see him during the King's Pilgrimage, but he killed the Free Blade on sight - allowing Annan to enter Clo's sight.
