Volume 2 Chapter 128
128. Moment of Judgment
When the new nobles were at a loss, Arland suddenly slammed the table and stood up abruptly. He commanded the judge in an authoritative tone, “Get up, Judge!! Convict her, she is an impostor, not the Silver Dragon Princess!!”
In an instant, all eyes were drawn to Arland.
“Father…” Oba said tremblingly.
Even when faced with everyone’s gaze, Arland’s expression remained unchanged, with a hint of obsessive madness.
“She is not the Silver Dragon Princess, but an impostor controlled by the Cavendish family! Corolle has never received any news about the royal family’s arrival!”
Although the new nobles were shocked, they gradually realized one thing.
They had no way out.
If they acknowledged that Xia Yi was the Silver Dragon Princess, the representative of the Royal Dragon Family… then their current crimes would undoubtedly cost them their heads.
Now, there was only one choice left, to kill her.
The new nobles had all been driven to a dead end.
“She is insulting the royal family, the noble royal bloodline!”
“According to the laws of the Dragon Kingdom, she must be executed!”
“We must uphold the order that this country deserves!”
The new nobles shouted.
“What are you doing? Judge, stand up and announce the verdict.”
Arland narrowed his eyes, staring menacingly at the judge who had fallen to the ground.
“I, I…”
“Useless trash, what’s the use of keeping you?!”
Arland strode to the center of the court, kicked the judge off the high tower, picked up the gavel himself, and slammed it down forcefully.
“I declare on behalf of the laws of Corolle that the Cavendish family has deceived the upper and lower classes, manipulated a fake Silver Dragon Princess impostor, and insulted the Royal Dragon Family. Their crimes are extremely serious! The head of the Cavendish family and this impostor are sentenced to death, to be carried out immediately!!”
His voice echoed over Corolle, reaching the ears of every dragon.
The dragons of Corolle witnessed this madness in horror.
The sky poured with torrential rain, as if it was going to drown this place.
“Security Team, where are you?!”
Accompanied by Arland’s hysterical call, the dragons of the Security Team released their true forms, flew into the sky, circled around the high-rise buildings of Corolle in large numbers, and completely surrounded the court, casting a large shadow.
“For the justice of Corolle, today, this criminal must be punished!” Arland roared.
The dragons of the Security Team let out thunderous roars.
As long as they had the armed force of the Security Team in their hands, no one in Corolle could resist the New Chamber of Commerce.
The interests of the new nobles were aligned. They controlled the lifeline of this city. Whoever they wanted dead had no choice but to die.
“Even if it’s… the royal family.”
Arland thought to himself.
There was no turning back now.
If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for insisting on coming to Corolle. Instead of being a princess in the capital, you came here to court death.
Bathed in the cold rain, Xia Yi slightly raised her head, calmly looking at Arland, her eyes showing no fluctuation and even a hint of disdain.
Even in such a predicament, she still looked down on Arland and the other new nobles, utterly arrogant.
Arland’s impulse subsided, and instead, he was the one who wavered. Why… could she still smile when she was about to die?!
“Corolle, answer me with your voices,” Xia Yi turned around, questioning the people of Corolle below, “Who is the real criminal?”
“It’s, it’s… it’s the new nobles!!” Jiye responded to Xia Yi in a passionate voice.
It was as if he had awakened everyone from their slumber.
The dragons of Corolle also understood one thing. If this city missed this opportunity, it would never be able to change again.
The one standing there now must be the Silver Dragon Princess!
It was the Silver Dragon Princess who was leading everyone to liberate Corolle, to bring justice to all!
“The new nobles are the ones who deserve death! They control the city and have played with everything!”
“The new nobles should be punished!”
“Princess, please lead us!!”
The crowd responded.
“Very well, you are all the warriors I have chosen. Now, fight! Release your anger, you will be invincible and victorious in battle!”
Xia Yi activated her royal bloodline. Her silver eyes emitted a noble glow in the dim rain, looking down from above like an emperor, amplifying the emotions of her subjects.
The dragons below roared, their anger spreading like flames among the crowd, all releasing their true forms, soaring into the sky, launching an assault on the Security Team.
Although there was a significant gap in strength and equipment.
But they had already cast aside their fears, letting the flames of anger engulf them, entering a state of frenzy.
Sera flew from below to Xia Yi’s side, protecting her as a guard.
Sera’s strength after releasing her true form was simply overwhelming… With just one breath, she caused a violent explosion in the sky, sweeping down a large number of Security Team members along with the buildings of Corolle.
“How, how… could this be?!”
Arland looked at the situation in disbelief, forcing himself to calm down and continue commanding.
“Where are the others? The Security Team isn’t just these, right? Call all the members over!!”
“It’s, it’s no use, Lord Arland!” The captain of the Security Team came to report anxiously.
“I remember you took people to arrest that waste Lucius, right? Where are they? After catching him, call them all back to reinforce us!”
“Mad…”
“What?”
“Lucius has gone mad!!” The captain of the Security Team shouted in terror, “He alone, wiped out a squad of our Security Team! We can’t beat him, he’s intercepted many on the outskirts of the city!”
“This…”
Arland felt dizzy, almost collapsing to the ground.
But it was far from over.
“Princess, we’re here to support you!!” A’Jin shouted.
From the lower district, giant dragons who had released their true forms were gathering and flying towards the central district in a magnificent manner.
These were all the poor from the lower district, joining the battlefield.
Although their combat power was even weaker than the members of Corolle’s gangs, they were crazed, relying on their numbers. Several dragons surrounded an elite member of the Security Team and fought with a desperate resolve, which surprisingly achieved remarkable results.
Now, the Security Team was overwhelmingly disadvantaged.
“What should we do, President Arland?” A noble clutched Arland’s clothes and asked tremblingly, “Think of something! If this goes on, we’re all going to die!”
A way?
At this moment, Arland could hardly think. Facing Xia Yi, he couldn’t utter a word, his imposing manner completely gone.
Xia Yi stood under Sera’s dragon wings, gazing at the new nobles.
“Now, the Moment of Judgment has come.”
