Reincarnated as a boss tyrant in the game

"Oh? There are people from Viscount Madoc among them?" Jennifer retorted, her voice laced with coldness and mockery.

Viscount Madoc pointed at one of the corpses and shouted angrily, "That's my own uncle!"

This angry shout immediately garnered support from all the old nobles, who demanded a reasonable explanation from Jennifer.

In Soren's week-long absence, Jennifer, to ensure the stability of Forge City, had been using high-pressure tactics to control the situation, even placing the area around Forge City under martial law.

This approach had long since made the northwestern nobles dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction came not only from the old nobles but also from many new nobles.

"That's perfect, then. After investigation, this Knight-Captain Kamm is a remnant of Colen. Since he's Viscount Madoc's own uncle, there must be a connection between the two," Jennifer said, waving her hand. A large contingent of soldiers from the Seventh Legion poured out from the fertilizer factory gates, moving to arrest Viscount Madoc.

Viscount Madoc, exasperated, cursed, "You're slandering me!"

"Viscount Madoc, no need to be nervous. As long as you don't mention the remnants of Colen, what can I do to you?" Jennifer said with a smile, though a hint of ruthlessness lurked within it.

However, these words carried a different meaning to the ears of the northwestern nobles.

Once arrested, even if one wasn't a remnant of Colen, they might become one.

Jennifer's actions were undoubtedly using the power in her hands to suppress and control the northwestern nobles.

The other nobles reacted differently to this event, their emotions complex, ranging from shock and fear to anger and indignation.

The old nobles felt angry and dissatisfied with Jennifer's actions, believing that she was abusing her power, attempting to consolidate her position and weaken the power of the northwestern nobles through such means.

The new nobles, on the other hand, might feel shocked and uneasy about this event, possibly worrying that this high-pressure policy would affect them, thus beginning to re-evaluate their position and relationship with Jennifer.

The court nobles might feel concerned about this matter, fearing that Jennifer's actions would trigger greater unrest, posing a threat to the stability of the empire.

At the same time, they might also feel dissatisfied with Jennifer's behavior, believing that she had not sufficiently respected the status and rights of the noble class.

Viscount Madoc naturally wouldn't sit idly by and await his doom. His personal guards immediately stood in front of him, shielding him as he fled.

His guards and the soldiers of the Seventh Legion immediately engaged in a fierce battle.

The soldiers on both sides engaged in a fierce melee in front of the fertilizer factory gate, swords clashing against shields, spears against battle axes, creating a deafening roar.

Viscount Madoc's guards were all agile and skilled, protecting Viscount Madoc at all costs, attempting to break through the encirclement and bring him safely away from the scene.

The soldiers of the Seventh Legion, however, were a well-trained army, acting strictly according to orders, encircling and intercepting Viscount Madoc and his guards.

Their only goal was to capture Viscount Madoc and bring him to justice.

Seeing Soren's arrival, Jennifer shouted loudly, "Your Highness, Viscount Madoc is a remnant of Colen!" Her voice was filled with anger and determination.

Soren had anticipated this. He quickly drew the Infinity Edge, spurred his horse, and accelerated towards Viscount Madoc.

Viscount Madoc's only remaining guard, a sixth-tier knight, shouted loudly, "My lord, run! I'll cover you!" His voice was filled with resolve and courage.

The sixth-tier knight's shout had barely faded when he saw Soren arrive before him, the light of his sword flashing.

The sixth-tier knight's first reaction was "So fast!" Then, he felt the world spinning.

The head of a sixth-tier knight was thus severed by Soren's sword. His body remained in place, while his head rolled on the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

Soren's sword not only demonstrated his superb swordsmanship but also his ruthlessness towards enemies.

This scene shocked and terrified everyone present. They realized that Soren, the Crown Prince, was already so powerful.

Soren didn't kill Viscount Madoc but placed his sword on his neck, asking contemptuously, "Viscount Madoc, are you planning to rebel?"

Viscount Madoc immediately prostrated himself on the ground, shouting loudly, "Your Highness, I've been wronged! My loyalty to the empire is as clear as day! For the empire, I am willing to sacrifice everything!"

Soren jumped down from his warhorse and helped him up. "Viscount Madoc, you're overthinking things. The matter hasn't been investigated yet, so how could I wrong you? Let's get up and talk!"

Viscount Madoc revealed a look of gratitude, following closely behind Soren.

Soren led the people to the front of the factory gate, looking at the thirty-odd corpses hanging high, and asked with a face full of doubt, "Jennifer, who are these people?"

Jennifer had already trotted to Soren's side, her face serious. "These people rashly broke into the factory, wanting to sabotage it. After repeated interrogation, they kept insisting that they were just wandering knights, passing through Forge City by chance."

"Oh, wandering knights," Soren said, turning his head with a displeased expression and asking, "I wonder if anyone here knows the origins of these wandering knights?"

His gaze swept over the new and old nobles present, waiting for their answers.

Viscount Madoc and the other nobles looked at Soren nervously, awaiting his decision.

Both sides fell into a strange silence, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"Since no one recognizes them, then let's treat them as remnants of Colen. What do you all think?" Soren asked, his voice carrying a hint of unquestionable authority.

The nobles present all revealed knowing expressions, understanding Soren's meaning.

If they didn't acknowledge these people's identities, then these people would have died in vain.

If they acknowledged them, then His Highness the Crown Prince would investigate them for sending people to break into the fertilizer factory.

Now that the people were already dead, naturally, no one would be foolish enough to admit it.

"Your Highness is right. These wandering knights must be remnants of Colen, and they must have some ulterior motives." They all expressed their agreement, their voices filled with compliance and caution.
