How to Save Humanity After Transmigrating into a Villainess Princess? Chapter 95 : The Truth Revealed
Watching the city wall be pulverized by the magic crossbow's explosion in an instant, Elashia couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
This was the power of Elasia's strongest weapon.
In the ga, one of the few bright spots of the impoverished and weak Elasia lay in this.
[Magic Crossbow] technology was almost unparalleled on the entire continent. Even the powerful Iron Empire didn't have this crossbow enchantnt technology in the early stages.
Although the manufacturing cost was frighteningly expensive, and each shot would directly drain the [Qi] and stamina of ten knights, it was completely worth it compared to its terrifying destructive power.
After destroying the city wall, Elashia instructed Cecilia:
"Alright, now we just wait for their reaction. We don't need to do anything else."
......
Chris was the first person to react from the explosion.
The city wall was clearly to the south, but the blast wave had spread to the citizens' assembly execution ground located in the city center?
And that was a massive city wall built at enormous cost—how could it have been reduced to ruins so easily?
What kind of thing could release such terrifying destructive power?
At this mont, Chris finally understood why that series of puzzling events had occurred earlier.
The reason that judgnt docunt seed so perfunctory was because Stephen was in a hurry to flee!
Looking at the surrounding people who were still stuck in post-explosion shock and bewildernt, Chris didn't know what she should do.
She was no longer consul, and no one would follow her orders anymore.
The chaos after the explosion lasted for a long ti before soone finally asked:
"Where is Consul Stephen?"
His words seed to wake up the entire crowd.
Where was Stephen?
At this ti, a soldier ran over hurriedly under the people's gaze.
Chris, standing on the execution platform, looked closely.
Wasn't this the very soldier who had slandered her together with Stephen?
That soldier appeared extrely anxious, and looking closely, one could even see so tear stains in his eyes.
"Stephen ran away!"
He roared, as if denouncing sothing.
That soldier was currently in a state of extre anger and despair.
Stephen had promised him that after Chris was executed, he would pay for his mother's dical treatnt.
However, just a few days after the deed was done, things had turned out like this.
When he had just gone to Stephen's villa intending to ask Stephen to fulfill his promise, he discovered that the villa was already empty...
Connecting this to yesterday's events, he finally realized—he had been deceived!
Thinking that he had even participated in the evil act of slandering Chris for this money, and that Chris was about to be executed, the soldier imdiately rushed toward the execution ground.
"Stephen ran away!!!"
He repeated once more, his voice heart-wrenching.
The citizens present, hearing his words, were all greatly shocked in their hearts.
Stephen ran away?
The soldier before them had once accused Chris together with Stephen under the citizens' watch, making his words extrely credible at this mont.
Looking at the citizens' gazes, the soldier loudly denounced:
"Whether it was the previous accusations against Miss Chris or the promises made to you, they were all fabricated!"
"Of course, his promise to was also fabricated... The reason I was initially willing to slander Miss Chris together with him was because he promised —after Miss Chris's execution, he would give money to treat my mother's illness!"
Looking at the citizens who were still imrsed in shock and couldn't speak, the soldier laughed maniacally.
"Hahahaha... You're all fools who believe anything you're told, and so am I... hahahaha..."
The soldier's maniacal laughter was bone-chilling to hear, and also made the citizens understand their current situation.
Now in Yage City, outside were terrifying external enemies who could easily destroy the city walls, and inside were leaderless citizens.
At this ti, a young citizen shouted:
"Everyone! Please listen to ! No matter what, we must resist! The black-clad n at yesterday's citizens' assembly said they would trample Yage City—they couldn't possibly accept our surrender! We can only fight to the end!"
However, no one responded to him.
What responded to him was the soldier's even more maniacal laughter.
"Resist? Have you forgotten what kind of person you elected to office?!"
The citizens suddenly recalled Stephen's past campaign speeches.
He had said he would reduce military spending, said there was no need to maintain such an army at all.
Looking at the silent citizens, the soldier's laughter beca even more maniacal.
"Hahahaha... Let tell you, Yage City's weapons have all been sold to Elasia by Stephen! Who would have thought, hahahaha..."
The soldier's words struck the citizens present like lightning!
Several disbelieving citizens hurriedly rushed toward the city-state armory, but the elderly warehouse manager stopped them with his voice.
"What he said is all true."
The warehouse manager's voice couldn't stop those few citizens, who still refused to believe it and rushed toward the city-state armory.
The citizens present waited anxiously, and Chris also waited anxiously.
Those weapons were her years of hard work!
Had they really all been sold by Stephen in one go?
Before long, the citizens returned looking dejected.
Without even needing to say anything, seeing this scene, the citizens imdiately understood what the answer was.
They... really had no ability to resist at all...
But they couldn't abandon their city-state and flee.
In this desert, for ordinary people, leaving the city-state ant death.
But they also couldn't possibly fight against Elasia's army...
It seed like death either way...
One citizen couldn't bear the sadness in his heart and burst into loud tears.
His crying triggered the emotions of the surrounding citizens, and the crying grew louder and louder.
Chris looked at this scene, not knowing what to say.
Was Yage City really going to be destroyed like this?
Several people with relatively stable emotions rushed onto the execution platform and removed the shackles from Chris's body.
"Please, save us one more ti!"
Those few citizens knelt down before Chris, saying in trembling voices.
Seeing the shackles removed from Chris's body, the citizens also erged from their desperate emotions.
"Please, save us one more ti!"
The citizens' voices shook the earth, as if praying to deities.
Looking at the mass of dark citizens in the audience seats, Chris couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Just a few hours ago, they had been indignantly throwing things at her, and now they were placing all their hopes on her.
Honestly, she was tired.
She could no longer bear this hope.
Chris had worked at high intensity for so many years and had never felt so powerless.
But she had once made a vow to dedicate everything she had to the city-state.
No matter what, she had to do her utmost to preserve this city-state!
Even if that will had changed from a strong sense of responsibility from the heart to an obsession without any belief to support it, she would still do it!
Throwing down the chains, Chris asked in her cool voice:
"Who is attacking us now?"
A citizen beside her answered:
"Not too clear, this is the first ti we've heard of this enemy country."
"It seems... called Elasia?"
The mont she heard this na from the citizen's mouth, Chris imdiately understood—how to save this city-state, and... save herself.
