At the gate of the royal city.

Normally, it is a strictly guarded area and no civilians are allowed to approach.

Although there are still heavy troops guarding here at this moment.

But with the orders given by Esdeath, the soldiers did not shout to stop the countless people who came.

At this moment, all the civilians' eyes were cast on the minister and his followers who were frozen on the execution platform.

There was hatred and anger in their eyes.

He wanted to rush to the execution platform, cut Ernest into pieces, eat his flesh and sleep on his skin.

To vent the hatred of being exploited and abused by the empire's powerful and executioners for generations.

When the old empire was still around, they didn't dare express this kind of hatred.

I am afraid that if I am not careful, my whole family will be wiped out.

And now, the anger that had been suppressed for many years has been released.

There are even some civilians whose wives and children are separated and whose families are destroyed because of these powerful people.

Those who couldn't control their emotions began to attack the cordon.

'Kill him!' 'Let him die!' 'Cut him into pieces!' 'Cut him into pieces!'

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by, stimulating the confused brains of these people and waking them up.

Suddenly, a figure appeared above the city gate, calming the chaos immediately.

The most powerful general of the Old Empire, Esdeath!

His appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.

After all, she is the only female general who is both beautiful and powerful.

People subconsciously quieted down.

Waiting for the general's words, the civilians above also calmed down.

"The old empire collapsed yesterday. All corrupt people and things will be punished justly under the laws of the new empire!"

"Therefore, by order of the new king, Ernest and other powerful culprits shall be punished by being cut into pieces!"

At the city gate, Esdeath recounted Ike's will one by one.

After hearing everything, the people went completely crazy.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

"The damn minister is finally dead!"

"Praise the new king, praise the new empire!"

"Long live the new king!"

For a moment, countless civilians cheered the new king crazily. The deafening power seemed to sweep away the deadness of the imperial capital.

The atmosphere of a capital city has been restored.

At the same time, Ike and the New Empire's reputation once again broke through the sky.

As Esdeath thawed the ice on Ernest and others.

Akagi, the executioner, also appeared with a knife.

In order to avoid the curse of the imperial weapon "Murasame", let Ernest and the others have an easy time.

Ike specifically used the large sword "Yueyin" obtained from the navy as the executioner's knife.

With the sharpness of this big sword, and combined with Akame who has received assassination training since childhood, it would be difficult for Ernest to die without a thousand or eight hundred cuts.

He had been frozen for a whole day and night, and was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy.

All they could do was wait in despair and fear for the knife light to approach, until...

"what!!!"

Chi Tong's execution begins!

One knife...two knives...five knives...ten knives...

Every knife strike brought not only physical torture but also fear to Ernest's heart.

It can be said that countless civilians who were looking forward to this scene had a lot of climaxes and were extremely happy watching it!

This is also the reason why Ike did not kill Ernest immediately yesterday.

If you want to gain huge reputation in a short period of time, public execution is the fastest way.

Nothing is more effective in winning the hearts of the people than killing someone who is hated by all civilians.

Combined with the new policies and laws that will be promulgated subsequently, the imperial capital, as the base, will completely come under Ike's rule.

On the execution platform.

As time passed, the number of knives reached more than nine hundred.

It was less than twenty cuts away from the target of a thousand cuts.

At this moment, Ernest was covered in blood and looked like a dead person.

The only thing that proved he was alive was his breathing rate which was becoming slower and slower.

"Akatō is so amazing..."

Among the Night Raid members who were watching the execution together, Myne couldn't help but speak.

Expressed admiration for Akame's execution technique

Leone nodded in agreement.

However, Hill was still as naive as ever, tilting his head and saying:

"Akagome has always been amazing!"

Without exception, none of them showed any sign of pity at this cruel method.

Even Najeshitan, who had left because Esdeath was too cruel in killing aliens, had a look of relief on her face.

For this minister who has brought disaster to the country and the people, no torture is too much!

How could I feel such pity?

Even the civilians watching the execution didn't have such thoughts, let alone the killer organization that assassinated corrupt officials and dignitaries!

One minute passed in the blink of an eye.

The last twenty cuts were completed, exactly one thousand cuts, no more, no less.

As if on cue, Ernest also died completely at this moment.

Once the main culprit was dead, the remaining accomplices were quickly executed.

These people did not receive the same treatment as Ernest and were beheaded cleanly.

At this point, the public execution was completed.

At the same time, the warmest cheers resounded in every corner of the imperial capital.

Almost everyone had tears of joy on their face.

They chanted the greatness of the new king and looked forward to the bright future that the new empire would bring.

Except for the revolutionary army!

Originally, they were very happy about the emergence of a powerful new anti-imperialist force.

Especially this new force, which killed one of the strongest, Bud, an enemy that gave them a headache, and their joy increased again.

however!

The combination of these two joyful events should have brought even greater joy, but...

Why is this happening! !

Shouldn't the trial of Ernest and the establishment of a new empire be the work of the revolutionary army?

For a moment, they felt like the fruits of their victory had been stolen.

Of course, this is what most of the revolutionary army thought.

For the few who truly wanted to revolt, they were more curious and looking forward to the new laws mentioned by Esdeath.

But the minority is still a minority after all, and the revolutionaries' next actions are still in the plans of the majority.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Najeshitan to receive instructions from the revolutionary headquarters.

"Assassinate the new king?!"

Leone's facial muscles twitched, "They are crazy!!"

"Also, the old empire is gone. Isn't that exactly the goal of the revolutionaries? Why would headquarters make such a decision?"

"That's right, you're asking us to do it. This is no different from committing suicide."

Marin looked very unhappy.

She would not refuse to kill the powerful and evil people, even if it meant sacrificing her life.

But Marin didn't even want to pay attention to this incomprehensible order.

"I seem to understand the new king's intention to purge the revolutionaries."

Leona thought back to last night, when Ike's tone was filled with disdain for the revolutionaries.

I guess he knew this would happen.

"Yes, perhaps revolutionaries are not as pure as they were at the beginning..."
