The Death Knell

The Dukes didn't know why the Blue Devil, who had been firmly opposed to killing Bobo, suddenly changed his mind and even skipped the public trial and directly announced the death penalty of the previous king.

This made all their long-prepared plans completely useless, as if they punched the air with a punch.

The Dukes temporarily formed a temporary alliance in order to overthrow the king's rule. They thought very well. If the Blue Devil insists on not agreeing to try the orangutan, then they will mobilize public opinion, incite the stupid people, and send the king and the regent to prison together. Go up to the gallows.

After removing the outsiders and expelling the Justice League, everyone will decide who owns Maia according to their own abilities.

Whether he surrenders to the Lord of Order or surrenders to destroy the legion, isn't the king of the puppet country still the king?

However, a series of unimaginable things happened one after another.

First, a foul-smelling weirdo killed the Duke in the street and destroyed his body. Then Deathstroke teamed up with Satan to defeat the Lord of Order. The latest news is that the Blue Devil is preparing to exterminate his relatives.

This series of incredible events was like a combination of punches, making the dukes who were meeting around the round table in the dark basement dizzy and confused.

"If Babuji XIII dies, then his territory will be divided equally among the seven families bordering our territory."

A voice came from the darkness. It was unclear who made it, only the shaking figure could be seen.

"Why? My territory is only three hundred kilometers away from there, so there's nothing wrong with dividing it into an enclave, right?"

came another voice, this one dissenting.

Then it was like turning on a dozen radios, and the originally quiet and solemn meeting place suddenly turned into a vegetable market. Each Duke wanted to get some benefits from the dead Duke with a human head and dog, and they refused to give in to each other. .

Because there is no reason to give up. From astronomy to geography, and from culture to in-laws, everyone has their own reasons, and their claims to that territory are almost as strong.

The time is getting closer and closer to Bobo's execution, but everyone is still more anxious to determine who owns the deceased's territory.

An hour passed, and they didn't know what happened in the dungeon. They were just busy dividing it up.

At this time, a smart man finally stood up. This humanoid creature, whose body shape looked a bit like a pig, said: "Everyone, please listen to me, please listen to me."

No one criticized him at all. Everyone was competing to see whose voice was louder and more reasonable. Many of the guards even drew their swords in the darkness, and rays of magic light shone in the basement.

So the Duke who just stood up and asked everyone to calm down may have farted because he was too excited.

The basement is not small, and it can accommodate dozens of dukes for a meeting. However, this fart seems to be poisonous, spreading quickly and ruthlessly, leaving people with nowhere to escape.

Everyone covered their mouths and noses and held their breath with great difficulty. No one spoke anymore.

The Duke who spoke was very satisfied, and his guards lit the torch behind him. Only then could he see that it was Duke Skunk who was speaking.

This is a magical creature with the face of a human and the body of a skunk, but his long-term pampering has made him extremely fat, comparable to the wild boar across the table. But no matter how neglected the battle formation is, Skunk's special skills are still not forgotten, and he is immune to his own 'poisonous gas'.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, he said with satisfaction: "I think it's too early to talk about this now. It's better to wait until we get rid of the two outsiders who are getting in the way before we can discuss it slowly."

The Dukes left the table one after another, covering their mouths and noses and weeping, and Duke Skunk implicitly agreed that everyone agreed.

Very good, this shows that I have a strong say. Who else should I take the position of king?

The Dukes who escaped from the basement greedily breathed fresh air on the ground, as if they had been reborn. At this time, someone naturally noticed the time and suggested that everyone watch Bobo being hanged.

This is a magical world, and the Blue Devil's previous behavior was very abnormal. They must figure out whether Bobo was replaced by an ordinary orangutan, or what kind of deception was used.

Everyone present is a powerful mage, and if you go together, you will have more eyes to prevent the blue devil from playing tricks.

This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. Even the skunk who came out at the end said it was okay. If we don't see Bobo die with our own eyes and seize the night blade that serves as the door, everyone will not be able to rest assured for a day.

So a group of people came to the square in a mighty manner. The guards pushed aside the onlookers who were blocking the way, and occupied the best positions for the princes in front of the gallows, ensuring that these big shots could see every detail clearly, including The hair on an orangutan's face trembles as he is hanged.

But there was still a little time, so everyone chatted with interest and pointed at Jim's sculpture.

In addition to them, there are many civilians around. No matter in which world or period, there are people who like to watch beheadings. This is one of the problems of intelligent creatures.

Why are the dukes coming? The main reason is for Night Blade. After Bobo's death, it stands to reason that the sword will be given to Blue Devil, but Blue Devil also said when promoting the 'Ape Slaughter Conference' that Night Blade will select a highly respected person in Maia. People come to inherit.

Every duke felt that he was highly respected. If he didn't come, wouldn't he have no chance of getting the sword?

The sword is a symbol of righteousness. If you hold the night blade, you will be known as a master even if there is a civil war in the future.

So each of the dukes stretched their necks, as if to measure the size of the noose, stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance, waiting for the orangutans to be taken to the execution ground.

"coming!"

"They're coming!"

Sure enough, with the commotion of the crowd, the gate of the castle slowly opened, and the dejected Bobo was escorted out by two faceless men wearing full-body plate armor. Behind him was the blue devil carrying a night blade and a trident. I couldn't see his expression at all.

The civilians actually didn't think Bobo was that annoying. They just came to see the fun, so no one greeted him with vegetable leaves or rotten eggs.

But the crowd of onlookers silently made way for the executioners, watching the former king walk towards the gallows step by step.

The orangutan raised his head, looked at the sun in the sky, took a deep breath as if he was nostalgic, and stepped onto the wooden platform.

He stood on the trap door and was noose by the armored guards. The Blue Devil still held his pipe and let Bobo take a last puff.

"Fur!"

Bobo exhaled a cloud of mist, and the Dukes below all turned red, as if they had seen him exhale his last breath.

The Blue Devil let out a long sigh: "Bobo, do you have any last words?"

The orangutan's hands were tied behind his back and he raised his head: "I have no regrets in my life."

"Execution!"

The executioner in armor behind him suddenly pulled the switch, the trap door opened, and the noose tightened upward at the same time. Bobo was hung up like a salted fish, rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue.

"oh!"

The crowd below exclaimed. The expressions on everyone's faces were different, but their eyes were fixed on Bobo's twisting body.

However, at this moment, Bobo suddenly retracted his tongue, his eyes returned to their original positions, and he said loudly and freely:

"By the way, before I die, I will perform a unique trick for everyone. I call it 'fish out of water'."

As he spoke, cheerful music suddenly sounded out of nowhere. Bobo looked like a fish with a noose hanging around his neck, but his whole body swayed crazily from side to side like a pendulum, letting out a piercing laugh.

"Hahaha, hahaha!"
