Transcendent Dawn

Plague world.

The former Maximilian Kingdom, the capital of hope.

In the 250th year of the Holy Calendar, it has been seven years since the 'dictator', 'tribuner for life', 'head of the new country', and 'slayer' Lai Zhe overthrew the feudal kingdom and established the 'new country'.

During this period, Ledger used his [Tyrant] ability to drive the army of the infected to recover one city after another from the plague and rescue the people there.

At the same time, he is also frantically persecuting all creatures involved in 'supernatural'.

As a result, the horned eagles and flower fairies in the northern border became extinct, and all kinds of extraordinary creatures on the mainland were mercilessly hunted down by the infected army.

After the magical animals became extinct, it was the turn of humans.

A large number of 'witches' were tied to the stake and executed, and people with pink eye disease were arrested on a large scale because they were suspected of being 'vampires'.

Scholars in the New Kingdom even publicly advocated the theory of purity of blood, believing that pure-blooded people are the most noble creatures, and designed a set of complicated and cumbersome screening rituals.

Ironically, most of the scholars who promoted this theory were also arrested on the grounds that they had 'excessive body hair' and were suspected of being werewolves.

As a result, Ledger's reputation plummeted, and he was given the titles of 'dictator' and 'slayer'.

Even, around the year 247 of the Holy Calendar, when the territory of the original Maximilian Kingdom had been fully restored and the plague had been largely defeated, this wise and courageous leader gradually became crazy.

After the external transcendents were almost killed, he set his sights on his own army, the army of absolutely loyal infected people.

Numerous high-ranking military officers were arrested and secretly executed.

Even, Ledger used the ability of [Tyrant] to order a large number of low-level infected people to die automatically.

This immediately put the entire new country under a shroud of terror.

Everyone is afraid that the crazy massacre will find themselves the next day.

...

City of Hope.

Tribune's residence.

Ledger's life is very poor, he never eats meat for every meal, and wears linen clothes, like a pious ascetic.

His main course for dinner tonight was potatoes boiled in salt water with a few leaves and carrots.

After eating these slowly, Ledger got the news that a lady came to visit.

Ms. Jennifer, please come in, I will meet her in the study.

Lai Zhe walked to the study room, and not long after, he saw a lady who was no longer young, but still beautiful and fit, walked in.

Jennifer...

Looking at this former team member, Leger looked a little dazed.

team leader……

Jennifer smiled wryly: Or... should I call you 'Dictator'?

You know... everything I do is to make our world a better place. Leger was silent for a long time before uttering a sentence.

But the common people don't know that, all they know is that their rulers are crazy, and they're afraid that one day, crazy crows, no, you've killed all the crows, and they're afraid that the gendarmes will break into their homes and declare them witches , werewolves, or descendants of vampires, execute them!

Jennifer said vehemently: They will turn to your enemies for this,

Lots of enemies!

Leger is merciless towards the mystic, but quite tolerant of the forces of ordinary people who resist him. This is also something that puzzles her.

Captain... this is the last time I will call you that.

A bitter smile appeared on her face: Your people, your enemies are plotting against you, and you are still massacring those who originally supported you... Everyone thinks you are crazy, but I know, you just Paranoid, you've been in a pretty paranoid state ever since meeting 'the man' in Plague City - I don't even know if he's human or not.

Yes, it doesn't matter whether people understand me or not, I just want to accomplish my goal.

Ledger murmured, Now it's just the last step.

You have no chance.

Along with Jennifer's voice, there was a sudden sound of gunfire outside.

A coup d'état... as it should be, isn't it?

Jennifer said: No one supports you anymore, no one protects you anymore, everyone fears you and hates you! You will be the next Jindem. Even your bodyguards betrayed you, you killed Kill Godil, kill Korondo...kill the most loyal hound, now it's your turn!

Yeah, it's my turn.

Lai Zhe's expression was very strange, there was no pain of being betrayed, nor anger, but a kind of comfort and... indifference?

This contrast made Jennifer rub her eyes involuntarily.

That existence told me... a new era is about to start, but the last sacrifice is still needed!

Lize said the last sentence, looked at the soldiers rushing in, smiled lightly, and raised his hands up.

Even if all his subordinates rebel, he is still a second-level [tyrant], the upper limit of force in this world, and can even manipulate spiritual germs to recreate a group of infected people who are loyal to him.

At worst, he could easily escape with his own physical fitness.

But he didn't!

Facing the 'betrayers' who rushed in, Leger only calmly surrendered.

Ex-Consul and Tribune Leger! You are under arrest, charged with multiple murders and genocide!

A young man entered and announced: You will be tried before the people, and we will give you the right of appeal, and an open court.

This treatment is at least better than Jindem, isn't it?

Ledger chuckled lightly: My time is over, you guys do a good job!

He put on the shackles and swaggered out the door.

What a lunatic...

The young man froze in place, seeing Jennifer's tears welling up in his eyes.

...

The news of Ledger's arrest quickly spread throughout the City of Hope.

Every citizen was cheering, and there was even a celebration for it.

They felt that the dark cloud of terror that had shrouded everyone's heads had finally dissipated, and they saw the long-lost sun.

In the open court, no lawyer is willing to defend Ledger. When the public prosecutor declares a crime, the citizens below are cheering.

And when Ledger showed up, the curses of the tyrant, the slaughterer, and the mad king came like a mountain and a tsunami.

Facing such a scolding scene, Leger's face was calm, without any fluctuation, and he didn't try to defend himself.

I declare that all charges are convicted and the prisoner is sentenced to death!

Finally, when the justice's hammer came down, the whole square was full of cheers.

Sulu's avatar stood quietly outside the square, looking at Lai Zhe: I said... I will witness your glory and your death!
