The Fourth Princess's Gossip System

229

Not only did the Third Prince and his troops face difficulties, but two secret passageways were also attacked in a similar way.

 New tactics have been applied in the form of smoke that not only compresses space, but also contains deadly medicinal herbs. Once the smoke is inhaled, people will feel a deep weakness and the function of their organs will stop.

The deadly effects of this smoke are felt by those with weak stamina, causing sudden death within about 10 minutes of exposure.

Nevertheless, people with better abilities can survive, but they also experience serious impacts on the lungs and heart, if they survive, they are forced to fight the adverse effects of this smoke for the rest of their lives.

On the Uncle Prince's side, the soldiers had swallowed the antidote pill which made them immune to the medicinal effects in that smoke. With this move, they could attack with confidence without worrying about the effects of deadly side effects.

This tactic managed to control hundreds to nearly a thousand soldiers in the hallway. However, all parties know that the conquest that occurred is not an easy thing to do, especially without important information from the Princess.

Within half an hour, more than half of the formidable warriors of the Third Prince were killed within that passageway.

"Akhh's sick...

Uhuk. akhh...

"Help me....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh..

 Heart-wrenching cries rang out as people felt the deadly effects of the smoke. Some of them struggled to sigh their last, while others fell unconscious, their bodies helpless against the poison in the smoke.

However, there are also some who are trying to counteract the effects of the drug. They try to hold back a sense of weakness and encourage each other.

"hold on, there must be a way"

"Close the airway, remember to go forward or die"

"Ohh please, my eyes are sore"

"Hold on, the third prince is with us,uhuk.."

 Shouts of zeal and attempts to remain conscious filled the hall, the sound offset the sound of the beating of fire at the end of the hall.

Contrary to the suffering of people in the hallway who fight for life and death. The person waiting behind is actually bored.

"Hey, I'm getting tired of waiting for them to come out. Hurry, come!" said an elite soldier from the Uncle Prince's side, his voice filled with an impatient tone.

He stood up with a firm stance, his beloved sword clinging to his shoulder. His impatient face reflected his desire to get immediately involved in the battle.

With an impatient look, he bit the end of the weed and with a slight movement kept it away from his lips, spat it on the ground with an expression of annoyance.

While continuing to look at the door of the passage that had not yet opened, he continued with a slight complaint, "Hum, he said there was a rush of people there but had not been out until now. Should time be up, did they all die from the effects of the poisonous fumes?"

As he spoke, some of the other soldiers who were around also responded with slight grievances and impatient movements. Some frowned and stomped their little feet to the ground, while others turned their swords.

"this is not the name war if you can win this way easily.Ah shameful once"

"Yes but once it's over we can also go home I don't even have time to dirty my clothes with ckckck's blood"

dozens of soldiers were waiting with swords at the end of the hall, just waiting until there was no more fire there.

there was no need to worry about the rest of the smoke as they had already swallowed the antidote pill beforehand.So these dozens of soldiers entered with vigor and hoped that there would be an opponent they could kill today.

For them, it was not the war of his name if there was no blood attached to the sword.

As the doors of the secret passage finally opened and the poisonous smoke subsided, a shocking and terrifying scene was revealed before the eyes.

The hallway that was originally filled with smoke was now filled with the corpses of the soldiers, scattered in various corners. However, this scene was more than just a pile of corpses, as their position signaled readiness for battle.

Inside the passageway that was only wide enough for one person to walk, the corpses of the soldiers were spread out in various positions. Some were still holding tightly to their swords, while others lay in a defensive stance, as if ready to face the enemy's attack.

Amidst the corpses lying down, several soldiers from the Uncle Prince's side approached them attentively.Honestly said, the rebel soldiers who died miserably in this secret passageway were actually people who had once fought to defend this country.

"actually they are heroes for Dayun but because flattering the wrong boss is what they have to accept"said A soldier who still holds a sword because he does not want any enemy soldiers to rise up and counterattack.

Some of the other Prince's uncle's elite soldiers heard that and nodded their heads.

They were just loyal soldiers to superiors and sometimes never doubted orders despite being told to rebel like they do now.

The Prince's uncle's elite soldiers never fell into battle, they were only taught to fight and watch from afar. Nevertheless they continued to greet the soldiers who bravely advanced into battle to defend the country.

But unfortunately, from Hero to Zero.

Without saying much the elite soldiers of the Uncle Prince immediately checked the condition of the rebel soldiers who looked alive. In void silence, screaming voices erupted from their lips as they discovered the soldier who still had signs of life.

"There are still some alive!" shouted one of them in a relieved tone, his voice heard amidst the gripping silence. They grabbed the hands and bodies of the soldiers who still had signs of breath and heart rate.

A soldier from the Uncle Prince's side approached one of the surviving soldiers, and in a cold voice said, "Good, you didn't disappoint me. Stay alive and accept your punishment." Those words were thrown in a tone like laughing at the helplessness of the soldier lying weakly before him.

There was no mercy in the voice of this soldier who spoke in a loud and sharp tone, "This is vengeance for sinners against the country of Dayun. You are shameful warriors, deserving only the right punishment." His resolute and cynical tone of voice reflected the contempt for the surviving soldiers in a weakened state.

Soon a secret passageway in evacuation.

The rest of the soldiers who were not killed or fainted were transported and dragged to prison, waiting while being tried for their respective wrongdoings.

Each person will be transported according to their status.

in contrast to the absolute victory outside the last two aisles.

There was a movement on the side of the family group that was about to be evacuated out of the capital.

There were only a few elite soldiers inside and there were also home-grown personal guards who had small abilities.they carried out the task of being the safety guards of these noble families.

Contrary to the two secret passageways, these blurred people carried with them elderly children and even their possessions on their backs.

This makes their movement slow and also complicates the action of care.

Compared to the reverse with a secret passageway that uses smoke.Here the elite soldiers even block it by closing the hallway door spontaneously.

When the door was locked, the atmosphere instantly turned chaotic. The people who were intending to exit the capital through the passageway became panicked and hysterical. Sounds of confusion and fear filled the air.

"Are we surrounded?" said someone in an anxious tone, his voice sounded filled with worry.

 "Mom, I'm scared." The cry of a girl echoed.

 "Oh dad, where's dad? Chu'er is afraid, huhu."

"father.dad' huhuhu "

Fear ran rampant between them, and various stories and speculations sprang up.

"Oh has the third prince lost?"

"No way, how could the third Prince lose he is a strong prince.there are no other princes in Dayun except the third Prince"

"Yes I'm sure despite what the third Prince lost he couldn't possibly be deactivated. Other than the third Prince no one deserves to ascend the throne"

"Well, am I worried about the current situation? which group closed this exit??"

 In a panic the guards realized that the door of the passage could not be opened from the inside.

Several guards and soldiers deployed to watch over the situation rushed forward, trying to figure out what was happening. When they reached the door of the passageway, all of a sudden, the heads of all the guards detached from his body and rolled around on the ground.

truck...trak...

"Ah murdered.ah....

"Who? who is dead "

"Ahhk head..to his head...

This terrible incident sparked a new uproar. The adults, children, and women trying to escape shouted hysterically.

"Help us!"

"Mother..."

"Dad..."

"Grandma, I'm scared!"

The situation grew increasingly heated and in that chaos, several people in warrior clothes came forward. They held sharp weapons with a menacing look, pointing at the guards who had just lost their heads.

This is the prince's uncle's warrior with a full weapon.

"Who are you?" asked one of them in a trembling voice.

"Hehehe, there's no need to ask who we are. But clearly, the Third Prince had already lost and his soldiers had been killed. If anyone is still alive, it's just a few people and time is running out for them" one of the gunmen said in a cold and sharp voice. His face was expressionless, yet the sword he was holding was still dripping fresh blood.

 When they heard that the Third Prince had lost completely, their countenances changed drastically. Their eyes widened and their lips clenched tightly. The originally hopeful face and courage look turned into a picture of despair.

Fear shook their bodies, visible from the sight of trembling eyes and uncontrollable body movements. The look on their faces that had been calm and confident was now filled with a jarring anxiety.

Some were holding their hearts with trembling hands, as if trying to calm down her increasingly rapid pulse.

"How is this, God"

While everyone was screaming and frightened, some soldiers came with so many items in hand.

"Now you all know that the Prince when he lost. Here I am still kind enough to give you two choices"

"the first option is to surrender, if you surrender then I will take you to prison and wait for your fate there"

"the second choice is poison, I give you the opportunity to dare to die right now.So the choice is yours and quickly choose "

Soon everyone's feet became weak.

When someone participates in the rebellion, the death penalty will be given not only to the person who did it but the 9 Clans will also be affected.

It also concerns the lives of hundreds of people who had nothing to do with the rebellion.

This punishment would also even apply to newborn children.That means there would no longer be people following their clan names in the future.

"That master is not at all an option, my lord.I am a branch family that does not even live in the capital.I just came for a walk here.Where do I know if Uncle will rebel"said a girl kneeling in a pitiful manner with a soldier .

"Master, I'm going to commit suicide but can you help save my granddaughter, she's the only other I won't beg anymore" an old lady also pleaded in the same way.

Before today they were all people who were viewed as noble in the capital. So arrogant and looking at the world as if the world was theirs.

It even has a waiter with a small amount.

But now it seems like the wheel of life is turning. It was they who had to beg at the feet of these soldiers to save some lives.

Immediately a cry could occur and a plea for help immediately echoed in the passageway.

But the Uncle Prince's soldiers did not have the right to decide the punishment for these people.

But in their hearts they also deeply regret this incident only one person made a mistake but hundreds of lives will be exhausted because of it.

It's just that, if the Princess existed, maybe she would think again.

But only if.

In the end, not a single soldier promised safety to these fleeing people.

So some people immediately commit suicide on the spot. They were people of high status before and felt humiliated because of this incident it was better to die now with a raised chest rather than die executed in public.

But there are still people who are looking for hope that the government sympathizes because they did nothing wrong.

But hope is still an unclear hope.

This escape room was three at the point and at these three points also experienced almost similar things. Because of the actions that occurred today, suddenly the full prison even seemed jostling.

All are waiting for their fate to die without trial.
