Chapter 776

At that point, Registus nodded slightly in front of the camera. It had to be said that he was skilled inacting and knew how to feign innocence.

With just a few simple sentences, he managed to distance himself from his guilt and give people the

illusion of a clean and faultless leader.

He seemed innocent, pitiful, and righteous. He was like the embodiment of a perfect monarch withoutany flaws.

The news report was not long.

However, in those brief minutes, it immediately caused a massive uproar within Florence and evenglobally like a Category 5 hurricane.

The Wolf King, Andrius Moonshade…

After just achieving a major victory, everyone thought that the Wolf King’s reputation would reach a newpeak, and he might even become a “divine figure” of Florence. After all, he had accomplishedmagnificent feats of god with the body of a mortal.

Unfortunately…

As soon as the news broke, since it was broadcast nationwide simultaneously, it pushed Andrius intothe eye of the storm.

“I didn’t know he was that kind of Wolf King!”

“He’s a traitor to the country. It doesn’t matter even if he’s the Wolf King!”

“Since he committed treason, there’s nothing to say. If the evidence is solid, then he should beexecuted mercilessly!”

“I was wondering how the Wolf King was able to agree to a peace treaty so quickly and even demandone third of the Western Nations‘ territories as compensation. It turns out he had ambitions of rebellionall along.”

“The Wolf King should be punished for his crimes, and the trial be broadcast worldwide. Bring him intothe light!”

Half a minute later, a barrage of negative comments about the Wolf King flooded in, occupying all thecomment sections and targeting the Wolf King. It would not be hard for someone attentive to realizethat the narrative was being steered in a certain direction deliberately.

Unfortunately, there were few who remained calm and thinking independently among the masses. Mostjust followed the herd mentality.

Nevertheless, amidst the storm of criticism, the opposite narrative also emerged.

Many citizens who believed in the Wolf King, particularly those in the Western region or those whoenjoyed peace near the borders, started to defend him.

“The Wolf King couldn’t have rebelled It’s like how the Florence football team will never lose to top–tieropponents in the World Cup because they’ll never have the opportunity to play against them.”

“If the Wolf King rebelled, I will swear to my singlehood this year. I’ll be willing to stay single forever.”

“Slander. It’s blatant slander. Anyone who has interacted with the Wolf King before knows that he treatsenemies ruthlessly but his fellow Florencians with utmost kindness.”

“I’m willing to sign a petition declaring the Wolf King’s innocence!”

“I’m willing to sign a petition declaring the Wolf King’s innocence!”

Both sides of the argument were vocal, and a tug–of–war ensued.

In Sumeria, Belarus gathered everyone together as soon as possible.

“What do you all think about this matter?” Belarus‘ expression was dark as ink as he looked over the

crowd below.

“Andrius couldn’t have committed treason.”

Luna’s simple statement immediately revealed her stance. She believed in Andrius unconditionally.

Andrius risked his life and drank poison to save her. He gave up a promising situation on the battlefieldand put himself in danger just to protect her.

How could someone like that possibly be a traitor?

“I feel the same.” Belarus nodded. He had no reason other than that he trusted his own judgment andintuition. Andrius would never rebel. He loved the land beneath his feet and the people of Florence.

His love was ardent and profound.

After those two spoke, even if Harry and the others had different opinions, they had no choice but tosuppress them.

“Since this is a public trial, the emperor must consider the overall situation. They will replace reasons forAndrius‘ rebellion and use them as arguments.”

Belarus narrowed his eyes and said, “Thus, let’s contact Andrius‘ former comrades and gather apetition of 10,000 signatures to prove his innocence and support him. What do you all think?”

“Sure.”

“I think it’s a good idea.”

“No problem…”

The crowd chimed in one after another.

At the Western border, Noir immediately gathered the Eight Commanders upon hearing this news.

“I believe you all have heard the news.” Noir looked at the commanders, his eyes bloodshot with furyand rage. “First, Registus framed Callan and the other officers with baseless chargers and slaughteredthem.

“Now, he intends to do the same with the Wolf King. We can’t just stand idly by.”

His words immediately gained unanimous agreement from everyone present

“That scum Registus… We risked our lives to defend the country for him, but this is how he’s treatingthe Lycantroops. Damn him!”

“If it weren’t for the Lycantroops shedding our blood on the battlefield, how could Registus continue tosit comfortably on his throne?”

“Registus is cruel and unscrupulous. He doesn’t deserve to be the emperor.”

“Black Wolf, give the orders. We’ll listen to you.”
