Chapter 373 The massacre was just to vent anger
Some people begged for mercy, which was not beyond Purficott’s expectation.
In other words, this is normal. These people are not fools, nor are they mentally retarded, nor are they idiots who shout that they are nobles and think you dare not kill them when a knife is held to their necks.
On the contrary, precisely because they are nobles, they cherish their lives even more.
So when the four knights really started to raise their butcher knives and started to slaughter the noble councilors in the venue, those guys who were quick to see the opportunity naturally knelt in front of Perfectcott and begged her for mercy.
However, Purficott was indifferent to this, or in other words, the fate of these people was already doomed when Purficott decided to participate in this hearing.
"I am the count of the empire! You have no right to kill me! I demand to see Her Majesty the Queen! I demand to see Her Royal Highness the Princess! I demand a fair trial, not a private execution!" an old man said It was possible to maintain the so-called noble dignity and speak loudly in front of Purficott.
This old man may have been a good knight when he was young, but at least his skills have not completely declined now that he is older. When the four steam knights slaughtered other nobles, he was still able to dodge with his own skills. Not to mention that he was not killed, and he still had the energy to put forward his demands to Purficott.
Perfect was somewhat surprised by this aristocratic old man. After all, in her opinion, these aristocratic members were a bunch of rubbish and a waste of food, but she didn’t expect that some of them could actually see it. , this surprised Purficott, but he was also willing to give him an explanation.
“Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess have given up your lives. In fact, when the Duke of Gloucester came to inform me that you wanted me to attend this hearing, your fate and outcome were already determined. "Perfect gestured to the four knights who were massacring people, indicating that they would pause while explaining to the nobles who were still alive.
At this time, she no longer cared about keeping it a secret, so she directly revealed the truth of the matter: "Three years ago, I warned you that the end of the world was coming. You thought it was fanciful, but the Empire Center did not regard it as a serious matter. It was a joke. The Imperial Council sent a scientific expedition team to the North Pole to verify my prediction.
So two years ago, the Empire Center had already made a decision to build the northern territory and based it on this. Build a shelter to help the empire withstand the extreme cold of the end of the world and survive this world-destroying disaster.
This is why I was able to transform from an ordinary baron's house in just two years. The reason why the young lady became the northern guardian of the empire is also the reason why Prince Edward left his inheritance to me
Because I am the only one who has the ability to save everything in the empire today, and only I can make the empire safe. Get through this doomsday."
At this point, Purficott stood up and looked down at the nobles in the venue with a look of disdain, even though her position was the lowest in the entire venue.
She noticed the surprise and remorse on the old noble's face, and she could tell that he was not the kind of person who eats nothing, at least not when he was young.
But it is obvious that the long-term comfortable life has made him forget what the responsibilities of nobles are and why they are nobles.
So Purficott has no intention of being lenient to them. They must be responsible for what they have done.
Thinking of this, Perfectikt continued to speak: "So you deserve to die. This is not only because your obstruction and ridicule back then delayed the empire from responding for at least a year, but also your punishment for holding me back. !
Every minute and every second you waste here means that the possibility of the future empire surviving this doomsday crisis is one point lower. So Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Princess gave up. You, even the Duke of Gloucester, rushed to apologize to me as soon as they learned that you were going to question me, in order to avoid affecting the future of the empire due to your stupidity.
Perhaps you think that I have no right to deprive you of your lives, at least I shouldn’t massacre you like this, but I’m sorry, you have become a gift, a gift used to vent my anger.
Killing you is not because the empire wants to eliminate you, but because I need to kill you to vent the anger caused by the obstacles you have caused me in the past few years. ”
Perficott’s words were very cruel, which is simply unacceptable to the aristocratic members present who have always had high self-esteem.
But when the steam knight’s chain When the saw sword roared again, they were still afraid. They really didn't want to die.
No matter how irritating what Purficott said, at least now she was really holding the handle of the knife and could take away their lives at any time, so even if she was just trying to please Purficott, they could only choose to believe what she said. Then beg her for mercy.
But Purficott was indifferent to this, and just watched indifferently as the four steam knights continued to kill.
However, the old noble seemed much calmer, as if he had put down something. He came directly in front of Purficott, bowed his head to her and asked: "Your Excellency, I have understood my I am willing to die to apologize for my faults and guilt.
But I beg you to let my family go. All the blame will be borne by me alone. I am willing to bear any punishment you impose. I only ask for your permission. My family survived this catastrophe, please have mercy on me!"
Looking at the old nobleman, Purficott couldn't help but sigh, and shook his head helplessly: "You are quite good at it! As a noble, I didn't expect there to be one or two useful talents among this group of trash.
But unfortunately, everyone needs to be responsible for what they have done. Your stupid behavior has determined that you will not be able to walk out of this venue alive today.
But don’t worry, the massacre of you is just my personal act to vent my anger. Although this has the permission and acquiescence of the empire, it does not mean that your family will be involved in this matter.
Of course, I also hope you can understand that the premise of everything ending here is that your family will not be stupid enough to continue to provoke me afterwards.
If they do that, I can only use more radical means to ensure my own safety and that the empire's plans are not affected. "
Hearing this, the old noble couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Then he took off a seal ring from his finger and said to Purficott: "This is a token of my family. I will keep it. The next letter explains the situation, you just need to give it to my son afterwards, and my family will be loyal to you! ”
After speaking, the old nobleman finished his last words with Purficott's acquiescence, and then cut his own throat with a paper knife without hesitation.
