Blackstone Code

Under the gloomy sky, more than thirty people had their hands tied tightly with hemp ropes and were connected in a string.

They wore sacks on their heads. The fabric of the sacks was not very dense, with large holes and small eyes, so that they could vaguely see the surrounding things.

These people's feet were all tied with shackles, and with every step they took, they could hear the sound of the iron ball dragging on the ground.

They were arranged in a wide square, surrounded by Gevra civilians who were watching.

After a period of "getting along", the Gefra people gradually adapted to the rule of the Penteo people.

Sometimes the human species is really a very magical creature, or it has extremely strong adaptability.

A few months ago they were eager to bite off a piece of each other's flesh.

But now, they can coexist peacefully.

People, in the final analysis, as long as they can meet the minimum requirements for survival, they can survive!

The chained man was led to the execution rack.

A high platform made of wood. At this time, the original color of the wood could no longer be seen, only black.

If someone takes a plane and tries to plane it a few times, they will find that after the blackest outer layer is peeled off, the color becomes redder as it goes down.

This is not the result of dyeing with some high-end dye, nor is it dragon blood wood. It is soaked in with blood and dyed red and black layer by layer!

Human blood!

They were tied behind stakes, and an officer walked to the execution platform.

He casually picked up a few pages of newspapers on the low table next to him, kept turning and looking at the people around him.

"These people are about to lose their lives because we discovered that they were illegally circulating these newspapers full of fraudulent lies!"

"The empire is benevolent, it did not take away your lives!"

"But the Empire is also strict, because it will not tolerate anyone who breaks the law!"

"Today, here, these people will use their lives to tell you a truth, a truth!"

"Then... just don't break the rules with any luck, because you can't afford the price!"

Most people are numb, and only a few people's eyes are somewhat alert.

These newspapers were actually sent by the federal people.

When they smuggled various goods to Gevra, they also specialized in smuggling some newspapers with content about Pengeo and the government-in-exile.

At first, the Pengeo people did not realize the powerful role of these newspapers, but as reports came about Pengeo's internal purges and the federal front continued to advance, news of Pengeo's successive defeats on the local battlefield came.

Some people inside Gefraben Island can no longer sit still!

The Minister of War has been brainwashing people on the grounds of "reserving the last spark of civilization for Gaevra", instilling that his surrender was an act of personal sacrifice in order to quickly rebuild Gaevra after the war.

Some people actually believed it.

And now, the war is indeed coming to an end. Once the Pengeo native war fails, the federals will clean up the Pengeo people on Gefra Island!

In other words, the countdown to war and fall has begun.

Some speculators, some careerists, began to take action.

Coupled with the support of the federal people, they had stable channels to obtain ammunition, and one group after another of militants began to be active on the island.

For example, in some remote areas, the Pengeo people have completely lost control!

And the inducement for all this comes from these illegal newspapers.

The worse the war situation in Pengeo's homeland becomes, the stronger the resistance here becomes.

In addition, the newspaper also provided some simple tactical ideas and some methods of making weapons using readily available materials, which made the Penteo people think hard!

Now anyone who dares to circulate or even read these newspapers alone will be sentenced to death!

This time, they conducted a large-scale raid on the outskirts of the imperial capital, accidentally uncovered a den that printed these illegal newspapers, and captured many key members.

Through interrogation, it was found that these people were members of the National Rescue Party of Gefra, a non-governmental organization that was established not long ago.

The articles of association stated that the Penteo people should be expelled and the Gaevra should be liberated.

them

The leaders in the newspaper believe that this newspaper is of high value. It can give people a clear understanding of the current international situation and some of the circumstances of Pengeo's local war.

People fear the Pengeo people because in the eyes of most people, the Pengeo people are invincible.

But as their local wars continued to fail, this mythical cloak gradually fell off.

Some young people were no longer so afraid of the Pendeo people. They began to connect, organize, and try to resist the barbaric rule of the Pendeo people, and achieved good results.

It's a pity that this time they were accidentally caught and these people were sent to the execution ground to scare others.

The officers kept reading their names, and every time they read a name, some of the onlookers exclaimed or cried.

Their family members were also escorted here to witness this moment!

When everyone's names and their charges had been read out, the executioner came on stage.

They want to chop off the heads of these people, stick their heads on poles, lift them up high, and insert the poles into the ground around the square!

They want everyone who passes by here every day to see those dried heads and feel fear!

The executioner walked up behind the first man, the leader of the underground organization, and pushed him to the middle of the execution platform.

"Kneel down!"

In front of him, there is a grooved wooden platform, which is the place where the beheading takes place.

The young man snorted heavily but did not kneel down.

The executioner was a little embarrassed. He picked up a small hand ax and struck the young man on the crook of the leg!

The young man was in great pain, and at the same time his ligaments were severed. He staggered and knelt on the ground with one leg!

He tried to struggle to stand up, but the executioner still refused to let him go. He drew out his hatchet and struck his other leg, and then pulled hard.

Amid the young man's screams, he was forced down and knelt on the ground.

His head was on the beheading table!

The officer looked down at him, "If you can realize your mistake now and confess those contacts, I can pardon your death penalty."

He hopes that this young man can confess. Only in this way can he destroy and defeat these young people's thoughts of resistance!

A hero will only inspire more people to stand against them. What he needs is a coward, a coward who can personally interrupt the resistance spirit of the Gefra people!

Maybe it's because death is approaching, maybe it's because of the faith in your heart, or some other reason.

The young man turned his neck with difficulty and looked at those who were watching.

He gasped for air, gritted his teeth, and the breath puffed out formed lines of mist in front of him.

He suddenly took a deep breath, and the officer's expression changed. He raised his hand and asked the executioner to execute it immediately, but it was still too late!

"Long live Gaevra...!"

The shouting suddenly stopped, and the severed head rolled down from the execution platform with a grunt, and blood spattered a distance of more than two meters!

Although the man died, his voice, his spirit, and his courage seemed to echo over the entire execution platform!

The officer looked at the executioner angrily, and the executioner was quite helpless. He would have just struck the ax and it would have been over.

I had to leave time for him to talk, but in the end I blamed myself for cutting slowly...

He only dared to be dissatisfied in his heart but did not dare to express it.

The second young man who was executed was much neater. When the officer looked at him, he shouted the slogan "Long live Gaevra" and walked calmly to the execution platform.

He knelt there, looking at the executioner calmly, grinning, "Hurry up before I pee!"

Some people laughed, some cried. The executioner silently raised the ax in his hand and struck hard...

A failed execution!

The news quickly spread to the palace. Her Majesty the Queen thought it was incredible when she heard it at first, but she was soon inspired by the spirit of those people!

She wrote the names of these people on a piece of paper.

"What are you going to do?", Genia asked from behind her.

The Queen looked at the list in her hand, waited for the ink to dry, then carefully added it to a book, and answered seriously:

"They are all heroes. When we drive those people out, I will build a monument to them!"

Genia stroked the queen's hair and felt a little emotional.

Although this kind of growth is what she hopes to see, the things used as fertilizer for growth are not what she wants to see.

But anyway, this is good news, at least people are resisting.

In the next two days, the Secretary of War came and told Her Majesty that he would marry Her Majesty in early May.

This time is less than half a year earlier than the time he proposed before.

It's not that the Minister of War is too impatient, but that there is too much bad news in Pengeo's homeland.

He heard that Emperor Pengeo planned to give the Federation a hard blow and then restart peace negotiations.

Once they do that, no later than June, there will be a second round of negotiations.

It would be a good thing if the negotiation failed, but if it succeeded, all his plans would be ruined.

The only way is to complete the plan in advance, so that when the time comes he will ascend the throne as the first heir to the throne. Even if the Federation wants to interfere, he will not be afraid.

He has long seen through the hypocrisy of the Federation. At most, they will find someone to fight him, but will not directly drive him away. That is not in line with the "international image" emphasized by the Federation!

This news made Her Majesty the Queen silent for a long time, until mid-April...

April 16, Saturday, the weather was nice and sunny.

Her Majesty the Queen, who was in a daze while basking in the sun in the garden, was alarmed by Xenia's footsteps.

She looked at the smiling Genia curiously, wondering what made her so happy?

Genia walked to her side, lowered her head, and whispered in her ear, "Lynch's people are coming. In the next few days, they will take us away..."
