Chapter 286: The Tin Knight and The City of Hubris (6)
Cruel massacres unfolded throughout the city.
Screams of terror.
Lamentations soaked in tears.
Cries for help.
You realized that this was very similar to what had happened in the City of Scales.
That was also why Sophia’s face hardened as soon as she saw that wall made of emerald.
The more terrible part was that the heavenly priests never dirtied their own hands.
The one leading the massacre was Sophia’s older brother, whom the residents had praised as such a hero.
— O’ proud citizens of Doria! I am sad. So very sad!
— My soldiers and I on the frontlines fought desperately against foreign enemies for Doria’s glory, freedom, and justice. However, the traitors hiding among us stabbed us in the back with a bitter blade of betrayal!
— They ignored this city’s discipline and traditions and colluded with ugly kings. To destroy this city and become new kings themselves to rule Doria!
— But their ruse was foiled. Because the righteous and just heaven did not ignore such injustice. Because their messenger saved me and my soldiers when we were cornered, and repelled the ambitions of those evil kings.
