Chapter 1072 Chapter 303. In the Name of Justice

The public's anger needs to be vented.

Their anger would have been released after the destruction of the kingdom, but with the cooperation with Vitalig, the kingdom will redeem itself and resist the ratmen, and the people's anger will have nowhere to vent.

So Agarwal was that outlet.

The execution of a legendary wizard was enough to prove Liberty City's determination and to release the pent-up emotions of the people.

Of course, you can also say that this is Annan's excuse.

He felt sick at the thought of Agarwal being safe. Why should ordinary people bear the consequences while a high-ranking figure like Agarwal could escape punishment?
If Liberty City didn't come, Agarwal would be fine. If Liberty City came, Agarwal would be fine, then wouldn't Liberty City have come in vain?

However, in order to avoid maximizing the loss, Annan secretly asked the Skeleton King: "After killing Agarwal, can I transform his body into an undead?"

"Transform enemies into undead? This will be criticized as evil." The Skeleton King felt that Annan was a bit extreme.

"Evil? I think he deserves it. He caused millions of people to be displaced and lose their homes, and he also made me use a crystal!"

As a former king, Skeleton King had to persuade: "Using evil power too much will make people wary of you..."

"That's just a fool's opinion. Magic is just a tool, isn't it? It's not the sword that is evil, it's the person who wields it. I have seen the kindest undead, and I have also seen the most evil angels."

Annan saw it very clearly that a tribe like the ratmen, which had no advantages at all, could give birth to ratmen like Maria and Della, so the camp did not mean anything.

If Annan had done this a few years ago, perhaps a Holy Knight would have come to enforce justice. But the gods had lost contact, and they were still busy with their own affairs, and Annan himself was a Holy Grail Knight squire!

"If all monarchs thought like you, there wouldn't be so many ridiculous wars..."

The Skeleton King, with some complexity and appreciation, told Annan that even if transformed, Agarwal would fall from legend and at most retain the power of epic.

"What if you don't want a soul?"

Annan also wanted to maximize his profits and leave the legendary soul to Belladonna in exchange for benefits.

Even the Skeleton King silently muttered what a blasphemy it was, saying that the power of a wizard lies in the soul. Without the soul, the body can only be a great wizard at best.

"Okay, one more epic then."

Even if it is an epic, it is a breakthrough from zero to one... From this perspective, Liberty City really lacks high-end combat power. It was able to advance all the way to Sunset Plains against the Kingdom only because the other party was too useless and made friends with Annan everywhere.

But there's no way to get Belludona pregnant again.

This legendary banquet ended amid heated discussions among the guests.

Many people asked Annan if he would persuade Agarwal to surrender. Annan shook his head and said, "There is no need to win over some scum. Tomorrow, Liberty City will put Agarwal on trial."

In order to prevent Agarwal's friends and minions from coming to jailbreak and increase hidden dangers, Annan directly announced that Agarwal would be executed tomorrow.

Vitalig had known Annan's plan, but the uninformed guests showed expressions of even greater shock than when Agarwal attacked.

For the love of God, Liberty City is going to execute a legend?!

Many of the guests who knew what happened to Annan in the North were thinking about it. The rest were mostly in disbelief.

We will know tomorrow whether it is true or not.

Such a big thing happened in Liberty City, the new king couldn't be unaware of it. Since Agarwal didn't come back, they couldn't bury their heads in the sand like ostriches anymore.

Although ostriches don't do that.

The disastrous defeat of Agarwal was still fresh in their minds, and it was no longer meaningful to accuse him of being reckless. The nobles looked at themselves and found that they had lost even the apparent advantage: there were only three legendary new kings left.

And Liberty City has one biggest advantage: Vitalig.

The second prince whose throne was stolen by Clo was resurrected by the chairman of the senator at the cost of his own life, and he also cooperated with Liberty City.

Even the legitimate royal bloodline has rebelled, so what reason do they have to stay on this sinking ship?

There were only two voices left in the new capital: those who wanted to surrender to the Free Blade and those who wanted to support Vitalig. But was it too late to rebel now?

While the nobles of the new capital were worried about gains and losses, the biggest winner, Annan, came to the temporary dungeon - the diameter of the Free City was now only 1250 meters, and the outer factories, prisons and camps were left in the Gem Bay.

"Agarwal, you should have a lot of wealth, right? Where are they?"

Agarwal's magic ring was taken off, but the ring contained magic, so Annan gave it to Dean Blechheim to decipher it.

"Will you let me go if I tell you?" Agarwal, who was wrapped in magic runes and sealed by the Skeleton King with rune pillars and unable to move, raised his head.

"No." Annan said simply.

"Then why should I say it?"

"You're right." Annan turned and left without hesitation.

As soon as he got out of the dungeon, he ran to the Skeleton King and asked it: "Do the transformed undead retain their memories of their lives?"

"Some of the 'unimportant' things will be lost..."

The soul fire in the Skeleton King's eyes flickered, revealing a touch of humanity.

Annan noticed: "Not important?"

“It’s about the feelings of family, friendship and love… Even when I recall it, it’s just like reading a book that has nothing to do with me.”

"Including hatred?"

Annan is worried that Agarwal, who has become a ghost, still remembers things from his life.

“Including hatred, and the dead are constrained and can only obey their masters.

Now Annan felt relieved.

Before leaving, he thought of something else: "Is Vitalig like this too?"

“He’s a different case.”

……

The day on Sunset Plains was long, and countless people were staring at the floating city in the sky.

At dawn, the Liberty City, which had been sleeping all night, slowly woke up. After eating a tasteless breakfast, they put on their coats and hurried to the crowded square in front of the City Lord's Mansion.

Tens of thousands of people stood here, but the scene was so quiet that even coughs could be heard.

People saw that the arrogant Agarwal was no different from an ordinary old man and was escorted to the gallows.

The magical runes that flickered around him constantly drained away his magic, weakening it and ensuring that he would be hanged like a normal human.

Annan appeared on the terrace of the City Lord's Mansion, and his voice was amplified throughout the city:

"The legendary wizard Agarwal watched the ratmen march north and abandoned the wizard tower, causing the loss of Breeze City and Snow Mountain Fortress, and the fall of the North. According to the Free City Code... he will be hanged!"

Agarwal suddenly raised his head.

The ordinary executioner now, the legendary executioner in the future, took a deep breath and cut the hemp rope.

The trapdoor under Agarwal's feet suddenly opened, and the legendary wizard fell suddenly, caught off guard.

Annan stared at the taut hemp rope and exhaled softly: "In the name of justice..."

The legendary wizard Agarwal fell in Liberty City.
