Snowstorm in Zalambra (6)

Tels was in a hurry to find Nineveh, so he went out first.

Inger looked at Cheryl and Uri, "How is it?"

The two pointed at An Lienong.

Inger: "Okay, let's follow and see."

Anlenon stuffed the emperor, who was making a loud noise in his throat, into a sack and dragged him out of the room.

He was followed by several knights, and all they saw along the way were people breaking into the palace, charging and rushing. A group of people gathered together to break open every door of the palace, arresting the nobles who were still hiding inside, or those who were still sleeping, and venting their dissatisfaction that had accumulated in their hearts.

In the process, they do not care whether the other person is male or female, young or old, or whether they have directly oppressed or exploited them.

Screams, roars, smashing sounds, and laughter, all kinds of sharp tones melted into one, composing a harmonious and strange waltz.

People who ran by paid tribute to An Lienong.

An Lienong smiled, opened his arms, and exclaimed: "What a magnificent view."

Cheryl covered her mouth with a hand.

She now understood what Inger had meant when he said, "There is no such thing as pure good or bad, only different stances."

Wu Rui saw a knight running over and whispered a few words in Andrenong's ear, and they changed direction and walked to the other side.

Inger carefully walked around the building and moved a few people. To save effort, he let the three of them settle on the roof on the upper side opposite to Andrenong and the others.

In the uncovered corridor, Anlenong could be seen stopping in front of a remote room that looked like a warehouse, and the iron lock of the door seemed to be rusted.

"It's here...you said it before...so..." the young knight bent down and asked.

An Lienong used his sword to break the iron chain without any comment.

Wu Rui frowned and asked, "What are they going to do in there?"

Inger did not dare to approach rashly. His eyes flashed, his molars clenched, and his cheeks were tightened.

Uri felt Inger tighten his grip on his hand, and he thought it was a sign of nervousness.

Soon An Lienong came out.

His chest and cheeks were stained with blood, and he wiped the sword with a rag cut from a window curtain.

"Don't let me tell you this again. Most of the people in there are named Sarambula. Even if I save them, how long can they live? And, judging from their looks, haha, they can no longer be considered human beings."

"This is the captain's kindness to them." The knight on the other side whispered.

The young knight looked unhappy, but he didn't dare to say anything.

An Lienong threw away the rag and patted his cheek, leaving clear bloody fingerprints on it.

Uriel and Cheryl's eyes narrowed.

After the group left, Inger brought the two of them and quietly landed at the door.

They did not go in, but at the door they saw a scene that could be described as hell.

The first thing Uri did was to put Cheryl behind him.

Cheryl sobbed softly against Wu Rui's back.

Inger only glanced at it briefly and then slowly closed his eyes.

He knew he would never forget this scene in his life.

He didn't have to watch it at all.

But this was his punishment for himself.

That scene was clearly imprinted in his dark eyes. He could infer from it what kind of inhuman torture these girls had endured during their lifetime, and he could also see how numb and desperate they were before they died.

Wu Rui's fists were shaking as he recalled what Bibidai had said before they left.

Originally, Inger wanted to take Bibidai with him, but Bibidai refused.

Bibidai said, "I have decided to kill him. Go ahead."

"What? Why? You didn't even know that person before you came here."

Bibidai: "Now I know him. Didn't I deal with some nobles together with the diplomats? You can get a lot of gossip from them. That Andrenong was born in a poor family. He had a habit of killing downtrodden nobles. The small nobles who climbed up and fell into his hands had a bad end. Almost everyone in the noble circle knew it. But most knights didn't believe it, thinking that the nobles were slandering him. Of course, there were some who thought he was eliminating evil for the people."

"But that's hearsay."

"I trust my instincts, and that's just who I am. And you guys are here to see it, right?"

Wu Rui believed this fact only after seeing it with his own eyes.

Cheryl burst into tears: "He could have saved them! We just..."

Inger gently covered Cheryl's mouth and said, "Let's go back."

He took the two of them back to Ninifer's room.

Wu Rui briefly described what had happened to them.

Ninifu whispered: *“So I don’t like him.”

Vera shook her head at her.

Alex turned to Inger after hearing this, his voice trembling: "Why didn't you save them?"

Wu Rui defended him: "We didn't know at first..."

Inger: “…”

Alex grabbed Inger by the collar: "You must have guessed it!"

Inger looked at him calmly: "Alex, I know you will choose to save them, but I am not you. If it was you who took them there, would the three of you be able to come back now?"

Wu Rui looked at the two of them in astonishment.

After a while, Alex loosened his collar and said, "I'm sorry."

Inger said calmly, "I accept it." He added, "Alex, your path is different from others. You don't have to make any changes, and you don't have to agree with my choice. Your choice is right."

Alex said again: "Ying, I'm sorry."

Inger didn't answer, but turned to Cheryl and Uri and said, "Load your guns."

Ninifer picked up a handkerchief and stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat off Inger, Cheryl, and Uri.

Inger looked down at her and smiled.

He knew very well that he was a despicable and selfish person. Rather than saving a group of miserable strangers, he chose to save his friends. Rather than saving a few people who might not have the desire to survive, he chose to save more people who would be willing to live in the future.

Of course, this was his unilateral choice. He had the power but chose not to save them. This was the first choice he made a long time ago.

There will be many similar choices later.

But he hoped that Alex would never, ever need to, or have to make such a choice again.

So he said, "Yes."

Alex's foolhardiness is worth cherishing.

What Inger didn't know was that Alex didn't really care about this. He had made many difficult choices on the battlefield, and no matter what choice he made, he wouldn't know whether it was right or wrong until the result came.

But he regretted it every time.

No one around him would blame him, and silent forgiveness was what tormented him the most.

He would rather have someone pull him by the collar and scold him.

So he did it.

He saw Inger's sadness.

Inger was used to hiding everything.

This is a bad habit.

Alex was angry about this.

This is a long topic waiting to be solved.

When Tels broke open the door to Ninifer's room, he saw no one.

He panicked.

He couldn't find Ninifu anywhere he looked.

*"How is it possible! How is it possible! There is no way she could get out!"

He saw the broken window, and when he looked down, he saw that a large crowd of people had gathered in the King's Garden, and a high execution platform had been set up.

Below, he did not see the body of the little girl.

*"Someone else took it away..." Tels rushed out of the room and ran around in every corridor with his knights.

*“We must find her! A little girl with silver hair! Protect her! If even a single hair of hers is hurt, I will hold you responsible!”

Ninifer fell asleep in Vera's arms. Vera glanced at Inger and Alex and dared not speak.

They were in this room, and Ter Sze couldn't see them.

Inger came to Cheryl and asked, "Have you adjusted your breathing?"

Cheryl exhaled, her eyes were as sharp as a knife, completely different from her usual self. She was highly focused, her finger on the trigger, and she didn't say a word.

Wu Rui touched the sniper rifle in his hand and couldn't let it go. He said: "No matter how many times I see it, I still find it incredible. It's so beautiful."

This is a long-range sniper rifle that is far ahead of its time. Inger designed it to be as close to modern sniper rifles in terms of shape and parts. Of course, the most amazing person is Dietsu, who restored it. The two of them tried to adjust it many times, and finally corrected the accuracy and equipped it with a scope. It is loaded with insulated bullets, 5 rounds per box.

The gun was pointed directly at the execution platform in the King's Garden.

"Listen carefully, the shooting is up to you two. Wu Rui is the leader and you are the heart. You only have one chance. If you fail once, run away immediately. There will be no second chance."

Uri smiled and said, "Leave it to us." He answered for Cheryl, "She heard it."

Although it was the first time for both of them to handle a gun, after a few days of training they had fully mastered the skills.

Mastering a bow and arrow is inherently more difficult than using a gun. They have been practicing bows since they were young, so using a gun is a piece of cake for them.

Previous tests had been almost 100% successful; Alex had never seen them miss their target.

Bibidai knows this best.

He looked at the two and whispered, "What a pair of perverts."

An Lienong stood on the high execution platform carrying a sack.

Below is the movement of heads.

An unprecedented sense of satisfaction rushed straight to the top of my head.

He tore open the sack.

"Look! This is the Dog Emperor!"

The crowd was silent for a moment, and then burst into even louder cheers.

Ten nobles were put on the execution platform one by one.

Most of them had their noses broken and their faces could not be seen.

An Lienong roared amidst the enthusiastic cheers.

"I am Andrenon Nabuchi! The leader of the Knights of the North Wind appointed by Emperor Verdin himself! I no longer pledge allegiance to the corrupt Zalambra royal family! I am a knight of the people of Zalambra!"

"On behalf of the people and the goddess, I judge the sins of Sampsis Zarambra and sentence him to death!"

After saying this, he picked up his sword and cut off the emperor's head.

The rest of the nobles also lost their heads at the hands of the knights.

That glorious dynasty that lasted for nearly five centuries came to an end.

The ugly head rolled to the ground, and the half-dried blood rolled up the dust and snow. The people who had bowed to it all their lives looked down and found that the person they had feared for so long was not a big deal.

The grand cheers once again overshadowed the previous wave.

"Hail, Knights of the North Wind!"

“Long live the people!!!”

"Sarah! Sarah! Sarah!"

"Ahhhh we are free!"

Right now.

"----Bang!!!"

The two gunshots almost merged into one.

People subconsciously looked towards the execution platform.
