Chapter 1419: Chapter 892: Long Live Life!

"Lord Wolf, the era of monarchs and nobility is coming to an end. If you lay down your weapons and surrender now, perhaps you might have a better ending..."

Surrounding Count Wolf and the remaining dozens of Personal Guard Knights, "Bloodhound" Tim sat high on his horse and spoke condescendingly.

Around him, the mercenaries, like him, wore golden armbands on their arms.

Then, a uniform row of Crossbows was aimed at the nobles and knights at the center.

The golden armbands, dyed by the golden fruits, shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight.

The arrows imbued with [Piercing Armor] and [Sharpness] spell effects glinted coldly.

Facing the unfriendly stares of the mercenaries, Wolf’s eyes burned with fury.

His gaze swept over the mercenaries and rebels, light surged around him, and traces of sword light gathered on the Longsword in his hand.

Gusts of air blew his cape behind him, his hair was disheveled, his body was straight, and with a cold sneer, wild and arrogant, he said:

"Surrender to commoners?"

"Heh... The Wolf Family can surrender to the royal family, can surrender to the nobility, but never to the commoners!"

Finished, he raised his Longsword with an angry roar:

"My knights, follow me, charge——!"

Behind him, the noble knights followed with a shout, raising their Longswords.

Traces of sword light gathered on the Longsword in their hands.

Then, the knights leaped forward, following Count Wolf, charging toward the mercenaries and rebels.

"That’s truly a pity..."

"Bloodhound" Tim shook his head lightly.

He raised his right hand and gave an order:

"Fire!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!

The mercenaries unleashed a rain of arrows, raining down on the dozens of nobles and knights charging at them.

With the muffled thuds of Crossbow arrows piercing flesh, the nobles and knights fell one by one. Charging at the front, Count Wolf, after blocking countless arrows, finally couldn’t withstand the growing arrow rain and was shot into a porcupine.

He swayed slightly and stopped.

His face twisted with a grimace, he spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell unwillingly...

His bloodshot eyes glared unforgivingly at the sky, unable to comprehend until the end why the Guards and mercenaries betrayed them.

Seeing Count Wolf and the noble knights fall in battle, cheers erupted among the rebels.

They soon surged forward, joining up with the mercenaries.

"Lord Tim! Lord Finn! Lord Maximilian!"

A High-level Officer waving a flag approached.

"Where’s Captain Bowen? Why don’t I see him?"

Tim glanced over the rebels and asked.

"He sacrificed himself, the Captain was sacrificed, Fabian too..."

The High-level Officer said with some sadness.

Tim paused for a moment, then reflected with a hint of emotion.

He extended his hand and drew a symbol of the Life Scepter on his chest, silently praying.

"Lord Tim, we’ve seized control of the corps, and all non-defecting soldiers have surrendered. What do we do next?"

The High-level Officer asked.

Upon hearing this, "Bloodhound" Tim exchanged a glance with the other two Mercenary Group Leaders and they all nodded.

"To Maniya City, we are heading next to Maniya City!"

He said solemnly.

"Maniya City?"

The High-level Officer was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, this is the plan we decided on long ago, and it was originally Captain Bowen’s plan!"

"Bloodhound" Tim nodded in confirmation.

Having said that, he looked toward Maniya City, his gaze gradually firming:

"We will head to Maniya City to assist our companions in capturing Dorolia Prison together!"

"Dorolia Prison holds many extraordinary strong believers of the Life Church. Only by going there and releasing our incarcerated comrades will we have enough strength to breach the Inner City, breach the Imperial Palace, breach the empty Eternal Cathedral!"

Upon hearing this, the rebels were enlightened.

"Dorolia Prison, Imperial Palace, Eternal Cathedral..."

The High-level Officer murmured, his expression growing increasingly excited.

He raised his command sword, looked at his comrades at his side, and shouted:

"Brothers, capture Dorolia, release the Life believers, breach the Imperial Palace and the Eternal Cathedral!"

The rebels were also boiling with excitement:

"Capture Dorolia! Breach the Imperial Palace and the Eternal Cathedral!"

"Long live Life! Long live equality!"

The High-level Officer shouted again.

"Long live Life! Long live equality!"

The soldiers also fervently shouted.

Following this, the fully defected Seventh Guard Corps, along with the united mercenaries, surged towards Maniya City, flags of uprising fluttering...

...

Maniya City, Outer District.

On the streets, more and more people gathered from all directions.

They were of various attires, ages, and genders, holding all sorts of crude weapons, waving flags with red grounds and yellow symbols, confronting the City Guard maintaining order.

Their one commonality, however, was the golden armbands tied to their right arms.

Looking ahead, the once bleak streets were now densely packed with heads.

It seemed that the entire outer city had erupted.

The fight had already broken out between the people and the City Guard.

Though the strength of the civilians was weak, their sheer numbers sent shivers through the soldiers’ hearts.

"Where is our reinforcements? Why haven’t they come yet? Where is the Guard Corps? Where is the Forbidden Army of the Imperial City? Where is the Noble Guard of the Inner City?"
