“Mogg! What… What is it that you want?” Sano shouted at Mogg, who was beside him.

Mogg looked at Sano seriously as he spoke.

“I’m sorry, Master Sano! I have my own family as well! I still have a group of my brothers!”

Very quickly, Mogg’s soldiers tied Sano up.

Soon after, Mogg said to the soldiers.

“Open the door! Open the door for me!”

On the grassland, the gates of the Empire’s northern line of defense opened up. Suddenly, a large number of soldiers and horses appeared before everyone’s eyes.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock.

The soldiers of the Empire who were stationed here had never seen a battle like this before. All of them started to become timid.

Meanwhile, Mogg was pushing Sano, who was already tied up, towards the Lieluo Army.

“Leaders of the Lieluo Army! I, Mogg, have already captured Sano of the Empire! I implore all of you to give me and my brothers a chance to live!”

When Rowe heard this, a look of joy appeared on his face.

“Good! A wise man knows when to submit! Who else wants to surrender?”

When the soldiers under Mogg’s leadership saw Mogg’s actions and heard Rowe’s words, they all knelt down one after another and shouted out.

“Me! I am also willing to surrender!”

When Rowe saw that the soldiers of the Empire had all knelt down, he could not help but sneer as he addressed everyone.

“Good! Very good! We will not kill all those who are willing to surrender now!”

After that, Mogg slowly pushed Sano towards Rowe and Romon, before kneeling down.

After completing the handover, Romon turned to look at Higgis who was behind him, and spoke to him.

“Collect all their weapons!”

“Yes!”

Higgis replied to Romon.

Soon after, Higgis went ahead to collect all the weapons and equipment of the remaining people.

Rowe then spoke to the soldiers behind him once again.

“Tally up the number of people! Take them all away!”

“Yes!”

…

Two days later, all the remnants of the Empire were taken to the center of the Empire.

Meanwhile, Rowe and Romon were still staying on the grassland.

Today would be the day of Sano’s execution.

Today, all the meritorious people of the Lieluo Army had gathered here to wait for the beginning of the trial.

A temporary execution platform had been set up on the grassland.

The sun was shining and marked this day of recovery.

The people were ushering in the end of an era and the rise of a new regime.

Sano was escorted to the execution platform by the soldiers of the Lieluo Army who were behind him.

His face was ashen, and he no longer carried himself with the same air as before.

Sano walked up to the execution platform, his eyes filled with fear and uncertainty.

As Sano took his position, the soldiers who were below, shot angry looks at the execution ground.

Countless insults and scorn filled the entire plains.

Then, Rowe walked up to the execution platform and spoke to the people below.

“The Empire has been completely annihilated by our Lieluo Army! We have obtained a huge victory!

“Today, to celebrate this day of victory, we have decided to execute the greatest culprit of the Empire, and also the mastermind behind this war, Sano!”

The emotions of the countless soldiers below became unusually high with Rowe’s words.

“Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!”

The soldiers below the stage continuously chanted.

Following that, Rowe waved his hand at the crowd and spoke once again.

“Everyone, there’s no need to be in such a hurry!”

Rowe suddenly turned his eyes to Sano and asked, “Sano! Did you ever think that there would be such a day?”

By now, Sano had already become somewhat delirious. He could no longer distinguish the current situation.

At the moment, he even felt as if he was still the leader of the Empire. He sneered at Rowe.

“I am the leader of the Empire! How could I be killed by all you small fries? Hahahahahaha! Stop dreaming!”

Romon looked at Sano who was in a daze, before turning to Rowe.

“Big Brother, he seems to have gone crazy!”

Rowe looked at Sano who seemed to have gone crazy and then burst out laughing.

“Who would have thought that Sano, who has dominated the battlefield all his life, would end up like this?”

Countless memories flashed before Rowe’s eyes.

From the time he and Romon had left the Empire, all the way to the south to gather the uprising army, to the time they had broken through the southern and western regions of the Empire. Then, to the time they had divided the world equally with the Empire and to the time they had broken through to the Empire and captured Sano alive.

Rowe felt that all of it felt extremely magical.

It was as though he had accomplished something that was completely impossible.

Rowe looked at the executioner who had already been waiting for some time.

In an indifferent voice, he gave the order.

“Kill him!”

The executioner immediately understood. He raised the large sword in his hand and prepared to slash at Sano’s neck.

Suddenly, Sano seemed to regain his consciousness. Abruptly, he started laughing loudly.

He cursed at Rowe.

“Rowe! Even if I, Sano, become a ghost, I will not let you off–“

Before Sano could finish, a sharp blade slashed down.

Sano’s body and head were separated.

Rowe’s eyes followed in the direction of Sano’s head as it rolled off the execution platform.

The head that was dripping with blood, stared back at him with a kind of jealous, twisted, and terrifying gaze.

Rowe felt extremely uncomfortable and disgusted.

Facing such a gaze, Rowe felt a sense of helplessness.

Suddenly, Rowe felt a wave of dizziness, and he suddenly fainted.

Romon, who was standing off to the side, saw this and immediately called to the other soldiers.

“Someone! Come and give me a hand!”

…

When Rowe opened his eyes once again, he was already in Lieluo City.

Beside him stood a group of familiar faces.

When Romon saw that Rowe had finally woken up, he exclaimed, “Big Brother, you’re finally awake!”

Rowe asked, “How long have I been unconscious?”

Romon heard Rowe’s question and said, “You’ve been unconscious for a whole seven days! We were all very worried about you!”

When Rowe heard this, he laughed coldly as he said, “Could it really be because of the ghost of Sano?”

When Romon heard this, he quickly said, “Alright, Big Brother, don’t think about this anymore.. We should now think about the future plans of the Lieluo Army!”
