Die, princess, the devil is mine!

Chapter 95 Execution
It's not that no one had expected the new emperor to take action against them, but no one could have imagined that Helena would be so severe.

Nearly 90% of the imperial dignitaries were captured and convicted, with the lightest sentence being three years in prison.

Those nobles and high-ranking officials who committed serious crimes were sentenced to at least twenty years in prison, and their titles were stripped and their property was confiscated.

As for those who committed capital crimes, they were also the most stubborn and powerful people. They were all sentenced to death and executed immediately, with no room for maneuver.

In addition to the national defense troops that appeared in the imperial city, more of Helena's men have blocked all exits of Tianming City, trying their best to capture the relatives of these powerful people.

What happened in the imperial city could not be concealed, because these powerful people all had communication stones, and even Lin En only had props to block space. He was not a GM, so how could he stop others from speaking.

Fortunately, the communication stone has a delay, and the main force of the National Defense Corps has already been deployed in various places in the city. In addition, many exiled strongmen who were squeezed out by the previous emperor were recruited by Helena to return to the country. Even if there are still some tough guys in the major noble families, they can deal with them.

"Your Majesty, if you do this, I'm afraid the Destiny Empire will collapse in an instant. Without us, the Destiny Empire will be replaced by the Elven Kingdom in the blink of an eye! From then on, the Empire's prestige will be gone!"

"You can't kill me! My Soros family has shed blood and made contributions to the empire. Even if I have to use my merits to atone for my sins, I will not lose my title of Duke!"

"Helena! Our Oden family is a founding noble family! Your ancestors and generations before them have been the pillars of the Destiny Empire. If you kill me, at least three counties in the Destiny Empire will rebel against you! Are you trying to start a civil war?"

"The demonic calamity hasn't ended yet, yet you're trying to weaken the strength of our Destiny Empire and even the Divine Blessing Continent. Are you joining the demonic clan?"

"Yes! We can still go into battle and kill the enemy! Make amends for our sins! Didn't you drive your brothers to the front lines? I can do it too!"

Among the many captured dignitaries, noises were heard one after another. Most people at this time actually did not believe that Helena would dare to carry out her judgment on them. After all, if she really did so, not to mention whether the political situation of the Destiny Empire would be stable, the loss of so many saints and high-level strongmen in one breath would probably make the Destiny Empire fall out of the empire sequence in terms of military strength in an instant, and be replaced by the Elf Kingdom in its eighth place on the continent.

The previous emperor had offended all the top powerful people in the country during his reign. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he cut off 70% to 80% of the backbone forces. Can the Tianming Empire still be called an empire?
However, Helena soon proved her determination with practical actions.

When the first imperial noble, a tax official with the title of marquis, was dragged to the altar and beheaded, and saw the blood splattering and the head falling to the ground, the nobles truly understood their current situation.

"Oh my god! Why is my teleportation stone not working?"

Although Duke Soros, who was captured by Armand himself, was shouting before, he was not panicked in his heart. But when he saw his colleague being beheaded, he, as the Chief Tax Officer, immediately activated his escape card. However, his space teleportation stone, which was full of magic elements and could be used 7 times, suddenly failed.

"Don't come near me!"

On the other side, a marquis also built a defensive magic circle. It was a top-level holy weapon passed down from generation to generation in his family, and even high-level saints could not break it easily.

Then Lynn threw a broken iron sword over, shattering his entire magic shield like popping a soap bubble.

Armand, who was originally preparing to take up the axe and go into battle himself, was a step slower. When he just walked in front of the marquis, he didn't know whether to chop or retreat.

"Fuck! You're next! I'll let you jump the queue!" Armand said, without caring about the order, and directly picked up the marquis like a chicken to help him reincarnate first.

"Have mercy, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty Helena, I am the captain of your grandfather's personal guard. Even if you don't consider the late emperor's face, you should at least consider the face of the late emperor..."

The noise in the crowd turned from noisy to howling, but both Helena and Lynn ignored it completely.

Now you know how to beg for mercy, but why didn’t you stop in time when you committed such a heinous crime?

If we forgive them easily, then what will happen to those who died unjustly and those who were oppressed by them for generations?
Afterwards, during the execution process, people kept causing trouble. At the moment of death, the potential that the powerful people could unleash was quite great. Sometimes even Saint Armand had to take action personally in the battle to protect the country, which was quite troublesome. Lin En had no choice but to take action three times.

Fortunately, Helena broke through to the high-level saint level and was able to use her imperial power to absolutely suppress the powerful people under her. Otherwise, even with Armand taking action and Lin En in charge, it would not be easy to deal with them.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Even the most difficult dukes fell one by one under Armand's axe.

In the face of absolute strength, all tricks and gimmicks are not worth mentioning. Even the richest Duke Thoros, who possessed the Deathly Hallows, was only hit by one more axe, but his body was more broken than anyone else's, and he died in a very uneasy manner.

The purge of the powerful people in the Tianming Empire lasted for a whole day. Including their relatives sentenced to death who were escorted here for execution afterwards, no less than 8,000 people were publicly beheaded in the imperial city that day.

That is to say, the altar was big enough and the executioners were professional enough, otherwise even if there were 8000 pigs, they would not be able to be killed in a whole day.

By the time it got dark, the blood beneath the altar had already formed a stream, making the noble officials who had not been sentenced to death feel numb.

Now they all had to be thankful that although they were not good people, they were not so bad as to ooze pus, otherwise a trace of the bright red below would belong to him.

"Imprison the remaining prisoners. Anyone who dares to escape will be sentenced to death. Issue a wanted order and offer a reward. I have plenty of money now!"

When all the death row prisoners had been executed and the palace guards gritted their teeth and began to clean the floor, Helena simply glanced at the execution ground and the sentenced criminals, then waved her sleeves and walked towards the palace.

Armand and his national defense troops carried the piles of corpses out of the imperial city. The current Queen was already a high-level saint, so they were not needed to guard the palace.

Besides Her Majesty and her dragon companion, there's also that lord here...

There was a terrifying existence following him, who could make Armand's hair stand on end with just a glance. Even if the Demon King's army came, they would have to die in this deep palace.
