Chapter 370: Judgment

"I disagree!"

"These detestable nobles! By what right!"

"We cannot let them off!"

"I refuse to go back to the life I had before. Things have finally taken a turn for the better, and they actually want us to keep working? Absolutely not!"

"Emperor! We do not need their rule! Only you can lead us toward a better future!"

"That's right! Emperor! Let them die!"

As the questions were posed by the voice in the video, a surge of fury rose in the hearts of the Outer City residents who heard these words; among them, some soldiers summoned by Yingzhou shouted in the crowd, causing the already angry Outer City residents to join in the shouting.

What kind of joke is this? They had finally managed to improve their lives with the help of Military District Chief Yingzhou, and those parasites actually wanted to make them return to those times when right and wrong were inverted! Unforgivable!

As if hearing the calls of these Outer City residents, a sturdy man, three meters tall, appeared in the video.

He looked toward the camera lens and pointed at the Demon beside him.

"He was once a member of one of the highest positions in the Ninth Defense Zone, but he was seduced by an Alien Race and ultimately became like this."

"Furthermore, this disaster was also caused by him; he is the chief culprit of this Demon invasion!"

"And now, I will execute judgment upon him, using his death to comfort those fallen compatriots, and also using his death to tell those who are hesitant in their hearts: do not think about betraying Humanity."

"Humanity will surely dominate this planet once again, and furthermore, our goal is the vast expanse beyond!"

"Now, this traitor, this Demon, welcome your judgment!"

As Yingzhou waved his hand, Taigehe'er, wearing Holy Shield Power Armor, walked forward slowly, saluted Yingzhou solemnly, and arrived in front of Pu Lie.

"Please, spare... spare..."

Before Pu Lie could finish speaking, as the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd in Taigehe'er's hand fell, his entire head flew off, subsequently turning into a wisp of Black Qi and vanishing.

"This is the end for betraying Humanity!"

Seeing the scene in the video where that detestable Demon was judged, a group of Outer City residents shouted happily.

"Emperor!"

"Praise you!"

Originally, some Outer City residents had suffered attacks from Demons; their families had been injured to varying degrees, or even slaughtered by Demons.

Upon seeing that Demon have its head severed and vanish into a wisp of Black Qi, these Outer City residents felt that much of the pent-up anger in their chests had been released.

Many Outer City residents who had lost family members to the Demon slaughter also shed tears at this moment, sobbing uncontrollably.

The sturdy man in the video now walked up to a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

"He is the parasite that sucked our blood, making us suffer for his own selfish desires. And the crimes he committed are enough to make him die dozens of times over!"

"Now, the Noble District of the Inner City has been razed to the ground because of the Demon invasion; from now on, there are no more of these parasites in the Ninth Defense Zone!"

"And this parasite, who caused the deaths of countless Inner City people, will also face his judgment."

"Cai Xiangliang, you have committed all kinds of evil in the Inner City, treated human life like grass, and placed Human Civilization in danger. Today, judgment is executed!"

As Yingzhou waved his hand again, Dabeiwenqiao arrived behind Cai Xiangliang; a blue light flashed from his sharp-angled helmet, the Heavenly Punishment Demon-Cleaving Halberd swung down, and a headless corpse fell to the ground, emitting wisps of smoke, while the head was nowhere to be seen.

"Compatriots of the Ninth Defense Zone! The era of those Alien Races acting recklessly is about to end, and we will welcome a new era! And you will become the creators of that era! Let those damned Alien Races know that blood debts must be paid in blood!"

As Yingzhou's voice fell, the video closed; upon hearing this news, the Outer City residents were also filled with hot-blooded excitement, following the shouting soldiers as they cried out.

"Emperor!"

"Emperor!"

Seeing this scene, Yingzhou's mother felt her eyes grow moist; while everyone else was in high spirits, only she could feel how heavy the burden on her son's shoulders was—that was the weight of an entire civilization.

After Angron noticed the change in Yingzhou's mother's emotions, he said in a gentle tone.

"Grandmother, what is wrong? Do not worry, Father is not alone; look, these people are now Father's motivation."

After hearing this, Yingzhou's mother wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, squeezed out a smile, and said.

"Yes, you are right. I cannot let your father see me like this; you won't tell your father, will you?"

Angron hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.

"I promise you, Grandmother."

Yingzhou's mother pulled on Angron's already large palm and nodded with a smile.

Ninth Defense Zone Inner City.

After finishing the recording, Yingzhou saw Vulkan bringing a middle-aged woman with short hair to find him.

"Father, she says she has something to discuss with you."

"Alright, I understand. Leave it to me."

After Vulkan left, Yingzhou saw a wound still hanging on Daixi's face and spoke.

"What do you want with me?"

Daixi took a deep breath, saluted Yingzhou, and said.

"Respected Emperor, I wish to contribute my own meager strength to Humanity. The complex situation in the Ninth Defense Zone has now been resolved by you, and I believe you will certainly allow Human Civilization to continue in this war."

Yingzhou looked at Daixi, who was saluting him, and spoke.

"I have investigated your situation. You have indeed not done anything heinous, but you also did not make any effort to change the situation. However, this is enough; as long as you have not betrayed Humanity, I do not mind letting you contribute your own strength to Human Civilization."

"Thank you for being willing to give me a chance!"

Yingzhou's tone then became serious, and he said in a deep voice.

"Daixi, the recovery of the Ninth Defense Zone begins now. Jack will be responsible for the situation in the Outer City, and you will temporarily be responsible for pacifying the residents of the Inner City and relocating them outward. Now, not only must the areas in the Outer City that suffered Demon attacks be restored, but other production must not be interrupted."

"Understood, I will certainly not let you down."

After Daixi left, Vulkan walked over from a distance, looked at Yingzhou's appearance, and asked.

"Father, you look very tired. Shall we go back to rest?"

Yingzhou nodded and said in a weary tone.

"Hmm, now that the Ninth Defense Zone is gone, let's go home; it really is time to get some good rest."

After a whole day of clearing, at least there were no more corpses or remains on the streets of the Outer City, and the residents of the Outer City who had been exhausted all day, as well as those who had lost their homes, were arranged by Jack into the Training Camp in various areas, with a batch of supplies mobilized for these residents to use.

Meanwhile, the Modian Iron Guard continued to carry out their respective patrol Tasks to prevent the Heretics from reappearing.
