Chapter 480 The Execution -1

Everyone looked at those on the stage in confusion.

But the soldiers and other armed forces around, looked at the entire situation differently.

Because even though they didn't know what was going on... looking at Landon and Lucius who still stood there as still as a rock, many of them quickly suspected the men on the stage even more.

They came up with many theories in their minds but chose to stand quietly and wait for his Majesty's reasons.

The other men who were first caught as suspects, were also amongst the crowd as well.

They marked arrogantly while looking at Mr. Hemrew, who was currently kneeling on the stage.

Since he wanted to kill them by using them as scapegoats, then why should they feel any pity for him?

Hmph!

He deserved it!

Landon looked at everyone calmly and stepped forward.

"Everyone... I know many of you are confused by what is going on today.

But before we get onto the matter at hand, let me introduce you to these 2 men."

Landon went on to talk about how these men had been brought in after they were rescued by the soldiers..... and how they had only stayed in Baymard for 2 months and a few weeks.

Knowing this everyone quickly realized that even though they were soldiers, they were still newbies who were also trying to learn all the rules that Baymard incorporated.

After talking about the origins of the 2 traitors, Landon decided to dive right into the matter at hand.

"Citizens of Baymard, the reason why these people are being roughed-handled.... is because they had committed Treason!"

"_"

Immediately, the crowd almost exploded from shock, and the armed forces also turned cold as well.

Treason?

How, when and why?

Everyone kept their ears at attention, and even the usual loud news reporters were quiet as well.

Landon looked at everyone's shocked expressions and calmly moved towards the traitors with his sword in his hands.

.

"Yes my Baymardians, these men had committed treason!

To give you all a brief summary of what actually went down, a few months back, these men had made a deal with some nobles.

They were to give information about all of Baymard's weapons.... which also included the manufacturing processes used for these weapons!

These men didn't even care about the implications of their actions, not did they care about you all!" Landon said, before kicking one of the traitors hard in the stomach.

'Ahhhhh!'

The man's body trembled from rage the more he was kicked.

"When we rescued you both, did we give you the option of going back to your empire?

Did we force you both to come to Baymard with us?

As a matter of fact, did you 2 ever think about the people who saved you?

Because if you both managed to somehow successfully give out that information, then Baymard might be attacked by those nobles who made the deal with you.

Do you know what this means for the people?

It means that there might be war because of your stupidity.

And if Baymard loses, then our peaceful empire might no longer exist.

Our children would be sold to slavery and separated from their families, and even the wives might be sent to prostitution camps.

Many of the men might be killed, while a few of them would be sent and locked up in training camps for several years to come.

The freedom that we are all used to, will be stripped away from us in a flash!

No more high salaries, no more good living, and no more education.

Many survivors might turn hungry and die from starvation, while others might die from common illnesses that we can now treat.

Because when the enemy strikes, they might want to monopolize all our industries just for themselves, with no aim of making anything cheap anymore.

In short, all that the people had toiled for.... would go down the drain just like that!"

"_"

As the crowd listened to Landon, their hearts turned cold.

Every sentence from Landon reminded them of how they used to suffer before Baymard blossomed.

How dare they?

A bunch of ingrates!

If Baymard hadn't saved them, then wouldn't they still be slaving away somewhere?

As for the former slaves, they were extremely angry, because now some people might think that all rescued slaves were like that.

Of course, some who were rescued from those underground camps from slavery were also reminded of their past experiences.

Similarly, those who were here to work and pay for their children's education here.... also turned cold as well.

With no more education, wouldn't their children's futures be somewhat blocked?

Even the merchants within the crowd also felt angry as well.

Other than his majesty Landon Barn..... and maybe Queen Penelope, they couldn't imagine what other rulers would agree to give them so many benefits as merchants.

Not to talk about the cheap prices of the products.

So since Carona was already in alliance with Baymard, it was safe to assume that they wouldn't pull this stunt.

So which empire was it?

That was the question on everyone's mind.... but Landon hadn't mentioned the empire, because he didn't want them to be prejudiced against its people.

After all, he had secretly signed a treaty with King Micheal of Terique.... so it wouldn't be good to do that.

.

As the crowd watched Landon kick both traitors, they couldn't help but feel that Landon's kicks were somewhat soft and weak for these traitors.

"Your majesty.... please let me do it!"

"No your majesty!

I'm an athlete, and have more raw power for the job."

"Your majesty.... please there's no need for you to dirty your shoes with the blood of these men.

Allow me to do it, your majesty!"

The traitors on the other hand, begged for their lives..... as they thought of Landon forgiving nature.

"Your majesty.... please forgive us.

We were blinded solely by greed.

But now we will promise to change for the better."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, your majesty!

We will change."

Both men tried so hard to plead towards his Majesty's forgiving side..... but when those closest to them heard this, they quickly spoke out, as they didn't want his majesty to be deceived by these demons.

After all, who didn't know that his majesty was a kind soul?

"Your majesty please don't listen to them."

"Your majesty, they're only sorry because they had been caught!"

As the crowd spoke, the soldiers and other armed forces all looked at the men on stage with eyes that carried daggers.

If not for their self-control, they would've already shot the bastard on stage a thousand times over and over again.

In short, the entire audience was riled up with rage.
