Marlene stood by theand gazed at the picturesque city glowing in radiance of gold However, her thoughts had drifted to the far southern seaside She remembered how the sun shone on the clear azure sea and the fishy sle trace of cloud in the sky as the ical fleet sailed and stole the show from the sun slowly Billows of smoke hovered above the harbor city and indistinct screams and mourns could be heard from the distance

The battle had ended

The farce of the Reformist Party’s independence that lasted almost half a year was finally about to end in this late autumn As winter approached, autumn would end coround After the Chair poison, the Reformist Party crumbled entirely as they lost their main backbone and turned into a completethem After the Royal Fleet had sealed off the Southern Port, the entire Southern region had been crippled and the Southern Parliament also faced unprecedented fears and pressure The Chairman had it easy because, nohis neck hung in Golden City However, the others weren’t that fortunate The Southern Port had been sealed off and no shi+p could enter or exit The current battle in the front line was intense while the unstable rear was filled with Barbarians penetrating into the Southern hinterland The core ic fleet’s eht’s Parlia help had becoive up, run to the Barbarians’ territory with all their lives, or pass through the borders to enter the Country of Darkness

However, all the three choices led to death for members of the Reformist Party

They kne vicious Lydia was and nobody would believe that she was an honorable and kind-hearted Archangel In fact, there were many times where many people’s evaluation of her were accurate and that was her ‘tyrannical’ trait She sought riches, pleasures, and loved grand banquets She would cruelly put down those who resisted her and perhaps even Hu But she could

This was also why the Reforive up They knew that the gibbet would be awaiting them at the end of the road as soon as they surrendered Of course Lydia wouldn’t execute their whole fans However, she also wouldn’t capture the principal offender and let the others off—no one would be spared

It was due to this understanding of Lydia that the Reformist Party’s core members wouldn’t surrender no matter what

However, the other two choices weren’t hopeful for them either

The wasteland of the Barbarians wasn’t enveloped in the Order Forcefield and the people there were barbaric, violent, and recognized strength only It didn’t dom was or the aless Moreover, it was located near the Dragon Souls where the Order Forcefield had becoths The areas which wasn’t enveloped in the Order Forcefield wasand it was basically impossible for ordinary hureat choice either

Everyone knew that the Country of Darkness was a nation of Undeads and Huh the statuses of the Huendary Generals, ‘The Conqueror’, Garcia, it only influenced some of the Humans In the Country of Darkness, most of the Humans were either slaves or meals for the Vah the borders safely, they wouldn’t face any better endings

What left the Reforh the Country of Darkness and the Country of Light had a terrible relationshi+p, their ties with the Munn Kingdom were rather decent If Lydia requested for the Country of Darkness to hand over the Reforuarantee that they wouldn’t send them back!

They could either turn into corpses instantly or serve as slaves before eventually turning into corpses It was only the difference between death penalties and deferred death sentences, which wasn’t a huge difference for them because there weren’t any possibilities for them to appeal for their cases

As of now, they could only drag it out day by day and for as long as possible

However, they had forgotten that hulect the death of others as long as one could survive

The core members of the Reformist Party were theto die along with them Previously, they didn’t dare to wreak havoc when the Chairhened up and believed that the Chair had ended entirely and they had no chances of winning! If they didn’t surrender, only death would be waiting for them!

It was due to this that the internal department of the Reformist Party erupted into chaos

‘A small stubborn core molecule’ failed to take effect in the ‘vast ocean of people’ Not only that, but the ‘traitors’ also took the initiative and released the Southern Legion’s ex-chief commanders ere captured by the Reformist Party And this marked the end of the so-called Southern independence of the Reformist Party

What happened next wasn’t worth ion that was stationed in Callenbach City broke out into chaos after they learned that the Chair’s Party seized this chance and encircled Callenbach City from the rear and cut off their source of supplies, which trapped the Southern Legion entirely After three continuous failed atteh, the defenders in Callenbach City surrendered without any resistance

Everything that Marlene sahen she entered the Southern Port had been etched in her memories She had been to the Southern Port in the past and it used to be an orderly and beautiful city The pedestrians on the streets wore brightly colored clothes and conversed courteously with their heads held high as though their futures were filled with gli hope Got to say, those Southerners indeed had the qualifications to look down on the Northerners who always behaved crudely and wore roughly

But this time, it was entirely different

bloody corpses and carcasses had tainted the clean streets and putrid smell spread all over the city Several bloated corpses were also seen on the beautiful, azure bay Residents who appeared malnourished and sickly hid in their ho’s Party soldiers entering their city No one ned houses and the recent riots had crushed the ars

What a disaster

Marlene shut her eyes and tried to forget about the unpleasant scenes in her mind If it were Lize, perhaps she would pity the unfortunate people However, Marlene wouldn’t because she didn’t feel that they deserved sympathy This was their choice and they paid the price for it As for whether the price was a bit too high, it wasn’t within her concerns

In just two days, Lydia had taken decisive actions against thele one of the core members and threw therave: she confiscated all their property and wealth and turned them back to ordinary civilian status Apart froed, the others would receive different extents of punishment

To the Reformist Party, Lydia’s actions were drastically vicious because almost everyone who participated in the are properties under their na’s Party

Almost all the trade associations and nobles of the South had been wiped out by Lydia and it could be considered pulling the rug from under the Reformist Party’s feet This also th to resist the King’s Party in the future
