I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 279. The Truth, the Truth!
Xia Feng quickly stepped forward.

Lee Jae-suk struggled to lift his heavy eyelids. Seeing the people approaching, he forced a bitter smile: "You...have come."

"What's going on? Who is the enemy?"

Xia Feng frowned and squatted down to examine Lee Jae-seok's injuries. Unfortunately, he was on the verge of death, his soul was about to disintegrate, and there was no cure.

"Cough—cough—" Lee Jae-seok coughed twice more with difficulty, blackish-purple blood spilling from the corner of his lips, his pale and cracked lips trembling as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "In my pocket, in my pocket."

Xia Feng understood and quickly searched him, finding a red cloth bag and an old pocket watch covered in cracks.

When the watch cover is popped open, the halo inside emerges, forming a light screen image in the air.

The footage shows veterans temporarily leaving Baidi City and hiding in the dense forest.

However, not long after, they encountered a knight wearing bright silver armor, with a gray wolf tail hairstyle and a holy white X mark carved between his eyebrows.

The knight walked slowly out from the depths of the dark forest; it was none other than Silver Ten!
As a member of the investigation team, Lin Musen naturally knew Yin Shi, because Yin Shi was his superior.

It was Yin Shi who sent him to lead a small team to explore the White Heron restricted area.

He also successfully uncovered part of the truth, having previously used the spatial channel opened by the Blue Whale to bypass the interference of spacetime turbulence and transmit the information out of the restricted area.

It's estimated that Silver October found this place based on this information.

"It's alright, they're one of us." Lin Musen breathed a sigh of relief, waved to the veterans, and introduced, "This is Silver Ten from the Knights of Apocalypse."

"Lord Yinshi, they are the remnants of the White Emperor City soldiers mentioned in the message. With them here, the treason case from thirty years ago should be overturned quickly and the truth will come to light!"

Seeing this, the vigilant veterans behind also breathed a slight sigh of relief, as they naturally knew about the Knights of the Apocalypse.

Possessing supreme law enforcement authority and immunity from killing that transcends all official institutions, every member of the Knights is absolutely loyal to the Empire, adhering to the core principle that 'any individual or force that is detrimental to the Empire will become a target of Apocalypse's strikes.

It can be said that they are all loyal servants who would fight to the death to protect the empire, and they would not let any personal interests or emotions interfere with any decision they make.

If a knight of the Apocalypse were to investigate the treason case, things would probably go much more smoothly.

The veterans also saw hope for life. They had originally been prepared to die at any moment, but now they wanted to live and witness the truth!

They had defended the empire for 30 years, only to discover that the enemy was the empire itself, and that they had become traitors in the eyes of the world, nailed to the pillar of historical shame! Nothing could have made them more resentful and desperate than this.

All they want now is to return to the Empire and make the person behind it all pay the price!
"Lord Yinshi." Li Zaishi stepped forward, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, and said in a deep voice, "I am Li, a fifth-rank sergeant from the newly formed 11th Division of Bailu, garrison commander of Baidi City, formerly under the command of Yinlong Army."

As Lee Jae-seok spoke, Eun-shih ignored him, his grey eyes calmly sweeping over the veterans and women and children around him before he slowly drew his greatsword.

The next instant, an invisible, terrifying sword aura swept out!

Nourishes—

In the dark, misty forest, a hundred heads flew into the air simultaneously, their expressions frozen in the moment before death, their eyes filled with confusion.

The sudden accident caught everyone off guard, and their expressions changed drastically.

"The Silver Ten Masters!?" Lin Musen was astonished.

"Damn it!" Li Zaishi's skin crawled, and he roared, "Scatter! Split up and run!"

Unfortunately, the Silver Ten who appeared here was in his true form, a Venerable One. No one could escape his sword aura domain.

One by one, heads were separated from the headless torsos. Lee Jae-seok and Lin Mu-sen charged at the Wolf Tail Knight with furious eyes, but were thrown back and slammed into tree stumps, spitting out blood.

This was a massacre with no suspense whatsoever. The Wolf-Tailed Knight, carrying a greatsword, slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.

"Silver Ten! Do you know what you're doing?! You're betraying the Empire!" Lin Musen roared furiously, his eyes bloodshot. He never expected to have summoned such a demon!
I never expected the Knight of the Apocalypse would do such a thing!

“Sergeant Lin, when the investigation team was established, I told you to remember this.”

Upon hearing Lin Musen's question, Yin Shi simply replied indifferently, "For the Empire, the truth is not important; what matters is the truth that aligns with the Empire's interests."

"One hundred thousand soldiers were falsely accused of treason, yet not a single word was leaked. The forces and interests involved are far more numerous than you can imagine."

Rather than risking a second imperial civil war by overturning the verdict, what we should do is ensure that these long-forgotten remnants of the army are reduced to a mere passage in the annals of history.

Lin Musen stared blankly, his mouth agape, muttering in terror, "Damn it...you son of a bitch!"

Seeing that he still looked like he couldn't accept it, Silver Ten shook his head: "Sergeant Lin, I admire your absolute loyalty to the Empire, but it seems that the psychological evaluation for your promotion to Apocalypse Knight must be suspended for now."

"Fuck your mother!!" Lin Musen roared, his eyes bloodshot, as he charged at the Wolf Tail Knight with his sword once more.

bang——

He was sent flying backwards, crashing back onto the tree stump, barely alive.

"Thirty years ago, Lord Wei Zhong, the city lord of Baidi City, led an army of 100,000 to rebel against the city. In the end, they were all annihilated by the 'Divine Relic - Heart of the Empire'. This is a historical fact and a fact that the people of the empire have completely accepted."

"so--"

Silver Ten pulled the greatsword from the ground, raised his gray eyes, and said, "For the sake of the empire, I ask my comrades to die."

"boom!!"

Amid the explosion, the image flickered erratically. Xia Feng stared with a grim expression, his brows furrowed, while Mu Qingtong's delicate brows also furrowed slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowed, her thoughts unreadable.

Xia Feng roughly understood the purpose of the Apocalypse Knight.

In the eyes of the Apocalypse Knights, if the incident in White Emperor City were to be exposed, the impact would be too great. Apart from clearing the names of 100,000 soldiers, it would be of no benefit to the peace of the Empire. It might even cause widespread chaos, and in more serious cases, the Nightmare Clan might take advantage of the situation to invade.

So when Silver Ten saw that Xize Xingzhe had failed to deal with Baidi City, he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and send his clone to capture Xize Xingzhe.

Ultimately, someone has to take responsibility for this matter, and those involved cannot simply walk away unscathed. They must also pay a price as a form of punishment.

After figuring out the crux of the matter, Xia Feng's expression turned even uglier. This world is just too messed up!

I really wish the world-destroying witch could wipe out this group.
A strange thought flashed through Xia Feng's mind.

Soon, the image returned to normal, and Freya suddenly appeared in the picture, transforming into a half-dragon once again and roaring as she charged towards the Wolf Tail Knight.

But the opponent was ultimately a Venerable One, and Freya was completely at his mercy. In the end, she was blasted into the endless heights, passing through the protective barrier, and falling into the spacetime turbulence outside the island.
