On the magical screen in the sky, the main characters featured in the video were none other than Sherwood and his group of nobles.
"... Today I'm going to risk everything and have to report to you some things about the misdeeds of the King of Byzantium Constantine..."
"... Why did the Byzantium hold out for so long? The real reason is that the despicable Constantine had long since sided with the Lyon..."
"... Constantine, in the name of Your Excellency the Martial Saint, has expanded his army extensively, forcing his subjects and stragglers to join him... He monopolized the spoils of naval battles, showing no intention of surrendering them to the Empire, and thus amassed great power..."
"... Constantine refused to escort the captured Lyon commander Lloris, to the capital, and even more so, refused to execute this executioner Executioner of the empire's people. This was one of the pieces of evidence of his treason; he wanted to protect this Lyon man..."
"... I suggest unifying government decrees, clarifying authority, and executing Constantine..."
"... Hahaha, I propose that Lord Sherwood be the new commander-in-chief. His status, position, and abilities make him a truly unique candidate..."
The figures on the screen were clear, and the sound was even clearer. At the beginning of the broadcast, the crowd was relatively quiet, but later, an uncontrollable murmur began to echo in the square. From whispers to loud discussions, and finally to some people cursing and others expressing their heartache, the clamor was like boiling water, and everyone in the training ground was caught up in confusion and debate.
All eyes were focused on the King of Byzantium Constantine and the nobles, including Sherwood, standing at the forefront below the platform. People tried to discern something from the expressions of the two groups. The young King remained calm, without the slightest sign of panic, excitement, or anger. Sherwood and the others had already sensed something was wrong, but on the surface, they still maintained a calm demeanor.
The Byzantium officers and guards angrily denounced Sherwood and his men, calling these despicable nobles treacherous ghosts. They said that just nine days ago, when they fled to the capital like stray dogs seeking refuge, they had been so pitiful and pleading, so desperate for strength. But now, only a few days later, they had turned into ungrateful wolves, stabbing him in the back and slandering His Majesty the King before the Martial Saint. They were more terrifying than the most venomous snakes in the world.
Among the crowd were some imperial nobles who had fled here, the original upper-class mainstream figures of Azure Wind Province, some officials with ulterior motives who wanted to profit from the chaos, and some minor nobles of Kingdom of Byzantium who had long been bought off by Sherwood and others. They stood on Sherwood's side and condemned the Byzantium king with flushed faces!
The scene was chaotic.
Sun Fei stood quietly on the reviewing stand, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, looking at the noisy scene below.
After more than ten minutes, the magic screen in the sky finally finished playing all the images, transformed into a ray of silver light, and disappeared into the Diwei Crystal. The one controlling the Diwei Crystal was a magician who had recently joined the Kingdom of Byzantium army, with a strength level of only about Three-Star Class. He was almost dumbfounded at this moment. When he received this mission, he thought he had a chance to show off and was secretly delighted. Who would have thought that the content being played would be like this? If he had known, he would never have dared to play such content in front of more than 100,000 people.
The heated argument nearly escalated into a physical fight.
It was clear that within the newly formed army, some soldiers and junior officers had been secretly bribed and bought off by Sherwood and others. Under their instigation, the army, which had initially maintained a rare degree of neutrality, began to become restless.
The scene became chaotic.
Sherwood and his men, who had been feeling anxious, began to get excited. This was exactly the kind of scene they wanted. Taking advantage of chaos and fishing in troubled waters was their specialty. The wise and just Byzantium king, as the common people called him, was still just a child. He might have some talent in leading troops and handling political affairs, but he was far from being alert in the midst of intrigue and power struggles!
Sherwood and his associates had spent a fortune and made numerous promises to win over these people over the past few days, all for this moment.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, even the Empire-Protecting Martial Saint of the Empire has chosen to stand on their side. Clearly, their previous attempts to sow discord have worked. Once the King of Chambord speaks, it will be the final straw that breaks Constantine's back. Everything is proceeding according to their plan; everything is under their control...
The argument grew louder and louder.
Swords and spears were drawn, their cold gleams flashing; both sides held their own versions of events, and a physical confrontation was imminent.
Just then, Sun Fei, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.
"Alright, that's enough, stop arguing!"
The voice wasn't loud, but it possessed a strange charm and power, clearly reaching the ears of everyone present. Instantly, all the arguments and confrontations vanished, and the tense atmosphere transformed into a different kind of tension because of the Empire-Protecting Martial Saint of the Empire's words. Everyone wanted to know what kind of verdict the Imperial God of War would deliver!
Sherwood wore a victor's smile.
He seemed to have already heard what the King of Chambord would say.
Finally, Sun Fei spoke, but what he said was completely opposite to what he had expected—
"The nobles Sherwood, Gulait, George, and Berezov are treacherous and vicious. First, they destroyed the Azure Wind Province and hundreds of thousands of people in Azure Wind City for their own selfish gain; second, they framed Constantine, a meritorious minister of the Empire. They are truly unforgivable parasites. Immediately strip them of their titles, bind them, and execute them by hanging!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several Chambord City Urban Management, fully armed, pounced on the crowd like wolves and tigers, and without a word, tied Sherwood and the others up by the arms behind their backs.
"No..." Sherwood finally realized what was happening, struggling and screaming wildly, "I refuse to accept this! Constantine betrayed the country! I am a meritorious official! I refuse to accept this! This is a frame-up! I will appeal to the Imperial Family! I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this! I refuse to accept this!!"
"Disagree? What's there to disagree with?" Sun Fei
