Chapter 817

At this time, Jia also led a group of cavalry onto the streets of Desa City.

"Dear elders and fellow villagers, please listen to me for a moment!"

Jia shouted loudly!

Hearing his words, the people looked toward Jia, confused!

At this time, Jia spread a blanket on the street and said, "Our City Master's Mansion has encountered difficulties. We ask that you elders and fellow villagers take out all your money and lend it to us. We will return all the money to you after the storm passes!"

"What the heck? What's going on? Our family doesn't have much money!"

"That's right, that's right! We don't have that much money to lend you!"

"Yeah! We are dirt poor; where would we get so much money to lend you?"

The people refused one after another.

Although these people lived very prosperous lives, they exploded the moment they heard the City Master's Mansion was borrowing money from them!

"It's not like the City Master's Mansion has no money, why borrow from us?"

The people complained one after another.

They did not believe Jia's words, thinking this was just Jia's excuse!

Jia and the other soldiers were a bit angry. Their King Riku, for the sake of these people's lives, did not hesitate to risk negotiating with Tang Mingge.

And these guys actually doubted their City Master so easily?

Jia stared coldly at these people and said, "Do you not believe the promise of the highest authority in Desa City?"

Hearing Jia's words, the surrounding people looked at each other.

This...

They hesitated a bit; King Riku still held a very high status in their hearts!

After all, King Riku had always been a man of his word, and there had never been an instance of him breaking his promise to anyone.

Thinking of this, many people began to stir!

"Fine! I am willing to send all my savings to the City Master! I only ask that the City Master does not forget the survival of us commoners!"

"I'll donate too!"

"I'll donate too!"

Not long after, more and more people expressed their willingness to donate all their savings to the City Master.

Even the children took out their pocket money.

Jia's eyes were slightly red with emotion, "Thank you, everyone!"

In the City Master's Mansion, King Riku was waiting for Jia and the others to bring back the gold.

Suddenly, a silk thread shot into his body.

His body began to be controlled by someone like a puppet.

"Hmm?" He opened his eyes in terror!

The one controlling King Riku was none other than Tang Mingge, who was currently at the highest point of the City Master's Mansion, overlooking the entire Desa City.

"Hehe, King Riku, you are still too naive after all!"

Tang Mingge sneered repeatedly.

"What do you want to do?"

King Riku struggled, but it was of no use at all.

Tang Mingge squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, "Go! Go and kill the people who are loyal to you and believe in you! Become a tyrant who treats human life like grass! Only then will you be more like King Riku!"

Tang Mingge's words reached King Riku's ears, immediately infuriating him!

"I will never become the kind of demon you speak of!"

King Riku roared!

"That's not up to you; people controlled by my silk threads can only obey my commands!"

Tang Mingge snorted coldly and then manipulated King Riku to rush into the crowd.

"Ah! Help!"

"Someone save me!"

Screams erupted everywhere, and blood kept splashing out!

King Riku was frantically hacking and killing the people around him.

356 You are just a clown in our eyes!

"Hahaha! Wonderful! This feeling is truly great!"

Tang Mingge laughed non-stop.

A wise City Master suddenly turned into a demon slaughtering his people.

This contrast and transformation were truly shocking.

At this moment, a figure rushed into the crowd, heading straight for King Riku.

"City Master! Have you gone mad? You are actually slaughtering our people?"

The person who arrived was none other than the Vanguard Battalion Commander, Zhao Yuan!

Zhao Yuan had originally been guarding outside the city, but after hearing about the chaos inside, he rushed back.

However, what Zhao Yuan did not expect was that as soon as he returned, he encountered King Riku slaughtering the people!

"City Master, what has happened to you?"

Zhao Yuan panicked!

He had known King Riku for decades and knew his character better than anyone!

How could King Riku suddenly turn into this appearance?

King Riku was crying, but the movements of his hands did not stop at all.

"Ahhhhh! Someone stop me!" King Riku screamed, appearing to have gone insane.

Seeing King Riku like this, Zhao Yuan's eyes became slightly moist!

He knew that King Riku must have been provoked to become like this.

"City Master, wake up! Wake up! You are the hope of Desa City! You cannot do this!"

Zhao Yuan was sweating profusely with anxiety! He looked at the soldiers around him and shouted sharply, "What are you still standing there for! Hurry up and stop him!"

Following Zhao Yuan's sharp shout, those soldiers drew their swords one after another and pounced toward King Riku.

"Let's make this place even more chaotic! Parasitic Threads!" Tang Mingge activated his ability again, using silk threads to control the soldiers who intended to stop King Riku.

"Slaughter them! My puppets!" Tang Mingge shouted excitedly.

His goal in controlling King Riku was to slaughter the city and make the people feel hatred toward King Riku!

King Riku was the hope of Desa City; if he slaughtered the people in the city, then Desa City would inevitably fall into chaos, and it was not impossible for it to perish.

"Hahaha! In this way, the hearts of the people will no longer be stable, and King Riku will be finished."

Tang Mingge's heart was filled with joy.

The slaughter officially began!

In the eyes of the people, King Riku was leading his soldiers to slaughter them.

Such a scene filled these people's hearts with fear, but even more so with hatred toward King Riku!

"Ahhhhh! I'll fight you to the death!" An old woman suddenly stood out, raised the kitchen knife in her hand, and pounced toward King Riku!

"Puchi!" A slash cut King Riku's arm.

Blood immediately sprayed out, staining the old woman's cheeks red.

"Ahhhh! King Riku, I curse you! I curse you to a miserable death!" The old woman roared.

King Riku shouted, "Go! Hurry and leave this place! I cannot control my body!"

After saying this, King Riku swung his sword directly at the old woman, and she was slashed to the ground!

King Riku's expression was gloomy to the extreme; he looked at the others around him, "All of you, leave! Hurry and leave! You will only die if you stay here!"

This behavior of King Riku touched everyone's bottom line, and everyone became angry.

"King Riku! We respected you so much before! You are actually returning kindness with enmity! We'll fight you to the death!"

"That's right! We must avenge those innocent people who died miserably!"

"Kill!"

In an instant, the two groups were locked in a fierce battle.
