The Exiled Hero Has Been Resummoned

19 – The Fire of Revolution is Burning 2

“A warrior…… What you want is the lives of those who really took part in the banishment. So, is it just retaliation for betrayal?”

Chaejin shook her head.

“I will have to return what I was supposed to receive. Even with interest.”

“I’m sick of coming here and bringing you the word promise, but can you promise me something?”

“…… Let’s listen.”

“If I return my troops and attack the imperial palace as it is, will I be able to save the people of my family and members of the Knights who know nothing…….”

His earnest will to compromise shone in his eyes full of complexities.

It was the expression of a person who was prepared for death.

“I will use the confession magic.”

“… ….”

“If I were really innocent, I would live, and even if I did not participate in my exile, if I were guilty, I would be judged accordingly.”

Confession magic is a type of magic that can be resisted with a little skill, but if it is repeatedly bounced off, it is considered a crime.

In the end, if you catch them all and interrogate them, the truth will come out.

“If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have opposed it more clearly. This is how things that I neglected to do, saying it wasn’t my business, come back.”

Bright gripped his sword tightly with a remorseful expression on his face.

“Thank you. Even though I betrayed my faith, you still try to keep my faith until the end. Before I die, I will keep my promise one last time.”

He once again gathered mana and shouted loudly.

[ Listen to all troops!! ]

[ I, Bright Milo, have committed an indelible sin against you and the world! ]

[ Even with this position and power, the crime of neglecting the expulsion of the hero! ]

[ I don’t deserve a summary execution right now, but I’m going to at least atone for my sins at the end! ]

[ Let’s judge the sinners and let the warriors get rid of the disaster! ]

[ Then I’ll gladly wait for the blade to fall down my neck! ]

At that cry, the soldiers let out a loud roar as if they had waited.

[[[[[ Whoaaa! ]]]]]]

ㅡ Judge the sinner!

ㅡ Judge the sinner!

It was a kind of madness.

Because the soldiers of the Empire were emitting greater hatred towards the Empire than the soldiers of the Holy Kingdom.

‘All…… Finished… ….’

Some of the noble knights who participated in the expulsion of the hero despaired as if they had to go up to the guillotine right now.

Their future is not far away.

“This, we didn’t even have to step out.”

As things went well, the elves’ army, who had been hiding from afar, also appeared.

[ We, the Elves, will also do our best to keep the faith of the warrior. ]

Amplification of performance due to magic.

It was the voice of Kleia, the elven queen.

‘Even the army of the elven kingdom, which will never trust humans, is on the side of the hero? Right. The times want the fall of the empire…….’

Bright felt the flow of a new era.

Although the problem was that she wouldn’t be confident in that new era.

“A moment like this does come.”

It has not yet been confirmed that the world will be saved, but Annelian was very happy and filled with a sense of overflowing emotion.

Never thought she’d go to take down an empire with her own hands!

‘The hero said that not only those who betrayed him would be judged, but all those who were guilty. I must find the man who killed my father and made his mother look like that and take revenge.’

If you get caught, I will give you a piece of cloth little by little until you die.

‘I really have nothing but gratitude to the hero. How can I repay this favor? I can really do anything…….’

Annelian thought of the things she could do for Chaejin, but soon erased them from her mind.

For now, advance toward the Empire first.

Her eyes were full of determination.

ㅡ Judgment on the emperor and nobles who betrayed the world and brought about disaster by banishing the warriors!

ㅡ Judgment!

ㅡ Judgment on the emperor and nobles who betrayed the world and brought about disaster by banishing the warriors!

ㅡ Judgment!

The army that had sent out to obliterate the kingdom attacked the empire again.

When they first saw them, the people of the empire were confused as to what was going on, but when they saw Bright marching behind Chaejin, the hero, they soon realized what had happened.

It’s a rebellion, a coup, a revolution!

The hero himself was trying to judge the corrupt imperial family.

[ Let’s judge the emperor who betrayed the world because he was busy filling his belly even in the face of incompetence and corruption, and everything is about to be destroyed! ]

[ We can! If everyone comes together with one heart and one mind, we will definitely win! That is the will of the goddess! ]

Chaejin’s shouts were enough to ignite a great fire in the hearts of the people who were stricken with despair and helplessness.

“I will follow the hero… ….”

“Me too.”

“How long do we have to live like this!”

“I have to turn everything upside down!”

The elderly and children alike each carry something that could be a weapon and follow the army.

There were people who did not, but there were more people who were swept up in the heat of the revolution and wanted to devote themselves.

The crowd filled the entire street, but there was not enough space, so the procession continued endlessly.

There was no one in the world who could stop the procession, which was united in anger and rebellion.

“Ji, pass by! Castle gate! Open the gates!”

The feudal lords were busy just getting out of the way, and the residents of the areas passing through sometimes called the procession rent or gave food to the people in the procession.

The heat of the revolution advanced like an angry hale, and soon the entire empire was swept away like a fire burning paper.

“I heard that the hero is advancing toward the imperial palace with an enormous army…… ?”

“Oops, finally punishing those bastards.”

“Viscount Less, he too must be judged!”

“We can’t be alone, can we? Let’s hang the nobles!”

In addition to the large procession now advancing into the center of the empire, rebellions broke out all over the country, and a war broke out between the people who were burning with anger and the lords who had to stop it somehow.

As Chaejin expected, a lot of blood flowed.

Among them, there must have been innocent victims for no reason.

Chaejin did not turn a blind eye to that fact, buried it in his chest, and continued to lead the procession forward.

That strong empire is rapidly crumbling, terrifyingly, with each passing day.

By none other than the people of the empire themselves.

“Lungs, Your Majesty! The news is that a huge number of rioters are advancing in the direction of the imperial palace!”

“…… What about Bright?”

“I heard that Lord Bright became a pawn of the mob… ….”

“The sky is leaving me.”

The emperor knew that there was a high possibility of this happening.

‘Kuh, I never thought giving half of the empire would have been cheap. If only I could turn back time…….’

But the past cannot be returned, so it is called the past.

Now, all that was left of him was the petty pride that he had made his own decision at the last moment.

“Cornwell.”

“Yes.”

Cornwell, a senior knight of the 1st Imperial Knights who remained to protect the emperor.

The emperor decided to ask him one last favor.

“Put that sword through my heart and kill me.”

“… ….”

“Woe, Emperor. Please think again…… !”

Even with the minister’s earnest request to stop him, the emperor’s will was firm.

“No, even if it’s just a facade, I’m the emperor of a unified empire. I have lived to reign and I will die as an emperor. Cornwell, come on.”

“… ….”

Cornwell was silent, but did not draw his sword.

“Cornwell?”

And when the emperor asked again, words unimaginable came out of Cornwell’s mouth.

“I can’t do that.”

Unexpected action.

Cornwell’s savage hand removed the emperor’s crown and grabbed his hair.

Then, Cornwell presses the piece of cloth he was holding into the emperor’s mouth and blocks his mouth.

“Woo-wook, woo-wook! Woowook!?”

“You shouldn’t die like that. He should receive a fair judgment and be decapitated by the guillotine…….”

“What, what.”

“I, I…… !”

The nobles who were watching it were shocked, but Cornwell’s eyes were just cold.

Cornwell spoke as if proclaiming to the nobles.

“Hey guys, it’s all over now. Can’t you see that Lord Bright turned his army around when he knew he was going to die? At that moment, your empire is already over.”

Even so, the emperor is tightly bound with a rope hidden between the armor.

Only then did Cornwell raise his sword.

“If there is an idiot who will remain loyal to the Emperor under these circumstances, fight him. I will hasten my own death.”

Still, if all the nobles, escorts, and wizards gathered here joined forces, there was nothing that Cornwall couldn’t solve.

But no one moved for the emperor.

“Hey, if you want to keep at least a little of your remaining power, just shut up and stay there.”

Both the guilty and the innocent.

I had no choice but to admit that the momentum was completely over.

Now the name emperor was just a chrysalis without a shell.

“Ugh! Ugh, ugh!”

The emperor’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Cornwall.

His gaze asked how you could do this to me.

Once upon a time, nobility, no matter how powerful they were, would have to shudder when they saw these eyes, but now they were just the courage of a powerless old man.

The absolute power of the unified emperor, which was thought to last forever, is waning like this.

The world has always been like that.

Any mighty thing was bound to crumble over time.
