I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 172 Restoration
Seeing Klimans being kidnapped by soldiers wearing Palace Guard uniforms, the Palace Guard soldiers surrounding the outside looked horrified and did not dare to step forward. They faced off against the disguised Shenyin Assault Regiment, leaving a gap in the middle. With a gap of more than ten meters, the situation was tense.

"Release Your Majesty, we will let you go!"

On the side of the palace guard, an officer shouted at the soldiers of the Shenyin Assault Regiment, trying to resolve the matter peacefully and allow the king to return safely, but the soldiers of the Shenyin Assault Regiment who were surrounded did not heed their cries. The captain scanned the crowd with his cold gaze, and all the soldiers who had made eye contact with him would unconsciously lower their heads, not daring to look at him.

"Climans is in my hands. If you don't want his blood to splatter on the spot, make a way out and let us leave."

"Impossible, we swear to defend His Majesty the King!" The officer didn't want to refuse directly, and got the approval of some soldiers. They clenched their weapons and firmly blocked the way to leave.

"Your real king is being put under house arrest by your so-called king in the temple, but you don't do anything about it, but you keep swearing to defend the usurper?" the captain scolded, pointing at the guard soldiers, and shouted: "Look carefully, You stupid fellows, is this your king? All I see is an ugly, pitiful mouse, who can even push his lingering woman to the blade in order to escape!"

"Consider what Clemens did after the usurpation of the throne. He shamefully betrayed the friendship of the Macedonians, joined forces with the Harlanites against our allies, and after the Macedonians won the war, he sent envoys humbly in an attempt to obtain Forgiveness from the king of Macedon—is such a person suitable to be our king?"

The sharp words of the commando leader made some uninformed soldiers a little shaken. They glanced at each other, and then looked at their chief and the bound King Clemans together, hoping to get answers from them, but the officers all In silence, King Clemens also lowered his head, not daring to face his subjects naked.

Seeing their attitude, the soldiers had an answer in their hearts. They retreated silently, separated from the crowd, and were not prepared to participate in the confrontation between the two sides.

At this moment, those Matthaeus officials who sought help from the Kingdom of Macedonia rushed over. They came as soon as they received the news that the palace had been invaded, and wanted to see if they could help the Macedonian allies leave here. When they arrived, they happened to meet the soldiers of the assault regiment holding the king to confront the palace guards. They had a bad heart and rushed to meet them.

As they approached, they happened to hear the words spoken loudly by the leader of the commando team, and after his words fell, they echoed: "He is right, everything Klimans did after usurping the throne was intentional." To harm the interests of the kingdom, he not only destroyed our long-standing friendly relationship with the Kingdom of Macedonia, but also put the great Majesty Ilitocra under house arrest in the temple, not allowing him to come in or out, and even being treated harshly when eating."

"Soldiers, you should go to the temple to have a look. Our Majesty Ilitekra can only use black bread that the lower classes are unwilling to eat all day long. The water he drinks is also the black sewage on the roadside. Lead us to overthrow Gillis His Majesty Ilitekla of the Commonwealth tyranny should not be treated so cruelly, should he?"

"No! He deserves the best!"

Several soldiers shouted loudly.

"In order to ensure that everything I said is true, I am willing to take you to the temple to have a look." The official who spoke continued, and the officials beside him also echoed.The soldiers looked at each other and quickly made a decision. They turned around and left the confronting team, followed behind the officials, and a large group walked towards the temple.

In a blink of an eye, there were only a few officers loyal to Clemens who were still stubbornly resisting. These officers knew that the situation was over, and looked at the naked usurper in disappointment, and turned around and left. With their current strength Climans cannot be rescued, so they can only fly separately in the face of disaster.

Seeing that the surrounding army was persuaded to retreat by those officials, the soldiers of the assault regiment did not continue to stay any longer. They followed the crowd with Climans and walked towards the temple where Ilitekla was under house arrest. When he arrived at the temple, it was already under the control of the heavily armed palace guards. Iliteka, who was obviously in a bad state of mind, was sitting on a wooden chair in the hall. In front of him, the soldiers who usually guarded him knelt down. On the ground, trembling, begging forgiveness of the regained king.

Ilitekla was not prepared to let them go mercifully and generously. The few days of house arrest had seriously damaged his physical and mental health. He directly asked the soldiers to take these sinners away, and hanged them in public a few days later. After hearing about his treatment , The soldiers who guarded him were ashen-faced, limp on the ground, and were forcibly dragged away by the guard soldiers.

When they dragged away the guarded soldiers, the soldiers of the assault regiment just walked in. Seeing Climans, who had betrayed him, was brought in, Ilitekla immediately perked up and jumped up from his seat, taking three steps in parallel. Tsukuru ran to Climans in two steps, kicked him down, and then punched him, as if he wanted to pay back all the humiliation and torture he had suffered in the past few days.

Seeing his crazy appearance, the commander of the assault team couldn't help but persuade him: "Your Majesty Yilitkela, you'd better be gentle, so that he won't be killed soon."

The disturbed Ilitekla looked dissatisfied at the soldiers in front of him who were also wearing the uniform of the palace guard. Just about to speak, the Mateus officer standing behind quickly pulled him, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Majesty, they are soldiers sent by the King of Macedonia."

Hearing that the other party was the King of Macedonia, Ilitekla's attitude changed instantly. He put on a smiling face and said, "My lord, what's your name?"

"You can call me Arnold, Your Majesty Ilitekla." The captain replied, and then he pointed to Climans who was lying on the ground moaning from the pain, and said: "By the order of His Majesty the King, the usurper Climans Si caught in front of you, my king hopes that you can give him a satisfactory answer."

"I understand that I will definitely entertain the traitor Climans well." Ilitekla said, and when he said the latter sentence, the voice of grinding his teeth was clearly audible.

The commando leader didn't care how he would treat Clemens, and after explaining a few words to Ilitekla, he left the temple with his subordinates.

Seeing the leaving figures of the Macedonian soldiers, the smile on Ilitekla's face disappeared instantly. He slowly looked at Climans on the ground, and said coldly: "Put him in the dungeon, watch him, don't Let him commit suicide, and I will deal with it myself in a few days."

"Understood, Your Majesty." Several Matthaeus officials responded. Looking at Ilitcla's expression, they couldn't help but shudder.

They understood that in the next few days, Di Tape and even the entire kingdom would be unrest.

……

The next day, the liberated Ilitekla announced his succession in a high-profile manner, and made public all the crimes of Climans, including the actions of placing him under house arrest and forcing him to abdicate. The beloved pope and king should be treated like this. They took to the streets and cursed the usurper Clemens loudly.At the same time, a large number of heavily armed soldiers broke into the homes of Clemens' extremely accomplices, executed their families in public, and confiscated all their property.For a time, the entire city of Ditape was filled with heads and rivers of blood, but the civilians were cheering for the king's just revenge. They stood on the blood of the rebels, and spurned these people to have no peace after death.

Not only that, the army has also been cleaned to varying degrees. Those officers who were accused of being Clemens' accomplices were ordered to be arrested. They naturally knew what would happen after being arrested. In order to protect themselves, those accused Officers defected with soldiers loyal to them one after another, becoming robbers like rootless duckweed in the wild.

Those officials who sought help from the Macedonians during the period of Ilitekla’s house arrest were reused by Ilitekla. He arranged all the vacant positions after the purges for those officials, as a reward for them, and at the same time for them. A reply from the Macedonians——after my restoration, the relationship between the two countries will not change, and will even be better.

The massacre of Ilitekla caused panic, and Clemens's party did not dare to fight back. This was not only because of the prestige of Ilitekla and the support he received, but also because of the Macedonian First Army, which was approaching the border. Before the operation of the Shenyin Assault Group, in order to ensure the success, "One-Eyed" Antigonus directly detained the Mateus envoy sent to his camp, and then led the army to set off to Chen Bing border. According to the news, he can attack the border at any time, fight to the city of Ditape, and use military threats to achieve his goal.

Now, the operation of the Shenyin Assault Group has succeeded. They failed to come in handy, but they also gave Ilitek a chance to take advantage of the situation. The legion is to help him, as long as anyone who dares to oppose him will be retaliated by the powerful Macedonian legion.It is precisely because of this that those rebels without an army will sit in despair.

Of course, these are all for later.

On the third day after Ilitekla regained power, the public trial against Clemens was held in the square in front of the palace. There were many hideous scars from being whipped.He was escorted slowly to the execution ground by heavily armed soldiers. While walking, he heard curses coming from all directions. Clemens felt desolate in his heart. He seemed to have lost his soul, like a walking corpse, driven by the soldiers. Go to the execution ground.

"Climans, he used to be the most loyal believer of His Majesty Illitkela, and he unswervingly fought against the Gillis to spread the belief of the Creator. He should be worthy of the admiration of all of us!"

On the execution ground, the priest in black robes spoke loudly, pronouncing the final fate for Clemens.

"However, he was bewitched by the Crimson Rider. His soul was not as firm as we imagined. His soul was completely corrupted and stood on the opposite side of the Creator. Thus, he took action against our great son of God, His Majesty Ilitkra, and among many Crimson Succeeded with the assistance of the rider's lackeys."

"The great Creator will not just watch his son of God being insulted, so our Majesty Ilitocera was freed and arrested the traitor. People of the Creator, look at this poor bewitched person. Worm, I hope that after his death, his soul can be redeemed!"

"Climans, in order to redeem your sinful soul, we will execute you at the stake. May the holy and pure flame purify your crimes!"

"May the holy and pure flame purify your sins!"

The civilians below shouted loudly.

Amid the shouts of the civilians, Clemans was tied to a pillar by the soldiers. Under the pillar were bundles of dry wood and flammable materials. The soldiers next to him held torches. The torches In the eyes of Climans, the flame that was not strong at the top was like a sea of ​​flames!

"No!"

He screamed, trying to stop the burning, but the priests and soldiers paid no heed to his cries.At the order of the priest, the soldiers used the torches to ignite the wood combustibles. As soon as the fire source touched the surface of the combustibles, it quickly ignited a raging fire. After that, the soldiers threw the torches into the smoldering fire, With cold eyes, he watched Clemens struggling violently in the burning fire, continuously screaming and screaming.

"Ahhhh-"

The severe pain caused by the burning made Clemens let out an extremely sharp cry. While enduring the flames licking his skin constantly under his body, he stared at the crowd on the execution ground and even the onlookers with his protruding eyes. , he used all the strength in his body to cast the most vicious curse on these people.

"I curse you, I curse that you will also die in the sea of ​​fire, and your children and grandchildren will also be tortured by the flames!"

……

Climans' death was extremely tragic. It is said that many civilians who watched the whole process of his death would have nightmares in the next few days, recalling Climans' hideous black charred corpse over and over again in the dream A vicious curse uttered aloud before dying.

No one knows whether the curse of Clemens will come true, they are all cheering the death of the usurper who was bewitched by the crimson rider, although it will hardly affect their real life, they just take this opportunity to express their feelings. Even if the person who was burned to death was Ilitekla, they might have such a reaction to the pressure and troubles that they had accumulated on a daily basis.
