Sui Xiong’s preparations did lead to a very good effect.

When the guillotine was built, the audience gathered. The first criminal he arrested made them surprised, and some people even fainted.

That one… That person is…

“Are my eyes deceiving me?”

“How is that possible!”

The audience under the guillotine were talking about it. Those civilians could only see the clues from the gorgeous costume. However, the aristocrats, especially the older aristocrats and the legendary masters, were all stunned at the moment.

This person was the previous Emperor of the Orcs. He had retired due to his old age and weak body. He was now the Grand Elder who lived in the Divine Temple.

He was a demigod.

However, people were still not sure. After all, this was too strange. Sui Xiong quickly dispelled their doubts. He began to declare the identity and the accusation of this person.

“Hogg Bale, the former Emperor of the Orcs, the current Grand Elder of the Divine Temple, the leader of Isis.”

He only said one sentence, but the audience under the guillotine were in disorder. The civilians were yelling. Some people rushed back to stay further away so that they could avoid the possible danger. Some people were screaming and squeezing forward. They wanted to get close to see him clearly. Moreover, some loyal guards and masters of the Orc Empire rushed over. Seeing that their previous emperor was going to be executed, they forgot their own lives even though they had to face a great Divine Power. They wanted to save him from the guillotine.

But all that was useless.

Sui Xiong didn’t do anything special, but all the people present found that they suddenly couldn’t move as if they were frozen.

For a time, the people who were going backward, the people who were squeezing forward, the people who wanted to rush over, and the people who quickly looked for helpers all became grotesque “statues.” They couldn’t move at all.

Sui Xiong simply kept the order, and then he began to declare Hogg Bale’s crimes.

The former Emperor of Orcs was not talented and ambitious. He was far worse than Junero, the current emperor. Hogg was best known for two things: the first one was his great martial arts, and the second was his brutal character.

The reason why he had been able to ascend to the throne was because the former emperor and Leonard had had a fierce battle, and the former emperor had been killed by Leonard. Leonard had also been punished by the Orc gods. The two sides had perished together. More than half of the entire Orc Empire had been killed in the civil strife.

After that, the interior of the Orc Empire had been chaotic. The Orc Empire was going to enter turbulent times.

At this moment, Hogg Bale had appeared. He had united with several large families relying on his powerful strength, and then he had killed an important competitor with lightning speed. He had also killed all the family members of his competitor.

The Orc society was relatively primitive, and the members of a tribe always had blood relations with each other. Killing all his family members meant slaughtering the whole tribe.

The tribe that had been slaughtered by him had been a large tribe. There had been at least more than 10,000 people including men, women, children, and slaves.

However, he had led a large troop to slaughter those more than 10,000 people overnight. It had really been a ruthless, mass slaughter.

With this incident, he had shocked those various forces who had wanted to compete for the throne. Then with the help of a fox sage, he had used both the “stick” and the “carrot” to invade others or to draw them to his side. In just a year, he had killed more than 100,000 people, and he had annihilated several famous tribes. Finally, he had made the Orcs of all races convinced of his emperor position.

An Orc historian had once said, “Since ancient times, Emperor Hogg has chosen the most difficult way to become an emperor.”

The key reason was that the Orc gods, especially the master god, had supported other people when someone different was going to become emperor. However, when Hogg was going to become emperor, the Orc gods hadn’t expressed any opinions on that. They had purely been spectators.

Everyone had understood that that was a very clear sign.

The gods hadn’t been satisfied with Hogg. They had been looking forward to seeing someone defeat him and replace him.

However, such a person had never appeared.

In the end, Hogg was the Emperor of the Orcs and had been recognized by the Orc gods.

However, his position hadn’t been firm. In his first 100 years as an emperor, a total of ten large-scale rebellions had broken out. Every time, he had suppressed them with extremely bloody methods. The bodies of the killed were everywhere.

From the second 100 years, he had changed his ruling strategy. He had vigorously promoted the bloodline-dominated theory of the Orcs and had declared that Orcs were excellent races and should be the only leaders of the vast land. He had promoted the belief-purified movement to discriminate against the Half-Orcs.

With his encouragement and support, Isis, who had originally been hurt in the Battle of the Raging Lion and then had been attacked by Leonard, had quickly recovered. It had developed and grown up, and they received recognition as an official organization, something they had always been dreaming of.

Hogg’s indirect method had a miraculous effect. In this method, Hogg had successfully transferred the domestic contradictions and had launched several wars before and after; that had earned him great prestige.

That situation had ended in a war. In that war, he had invaded the Kingdom of Eagle again. He had been defeated by John Igor, the Eagle-Feather Blade Master, Leon’s grandfather. Hogg had been seriously wounded.

At that time, he was already at the legendary peak, but John was at the Legendary Peak, too. Hogg owned the artifacts of the Orc Empire, but John had also owned the Three Eagle Artifacts. However, the most important thing was that John had dared to risk his life and Hogg hadn’t. Therefore, he had lost.

If Old General Norem Bull hadn’t saved him, he might have died under the sword of John Igor.

This failure had made him suffer a lot. After lying in bed for half a year, he had recovered. Then, he had decided to seek a higher and stronger road. Thus, he had abandoned the emperor position that had become a burden.

So he held a large-scale competition to select the next emperor. As a result, in the competition, he had met Junero Tiger who had come out again. Junero, who had usually appeared in public in the form of a weak scholar, managed to convince Hogg to give him the emperor position after talking all night. Then, Hogg retreated to the most mysterious Divine Temple of the Orc Empire. He had become the Grand Elder of the Divine Temple.

Soon after, he had broken into the demigod realm and had become one of the strongest existences who still walked.

Of course, he had been supporting and directing Isis. In recent years, the large-scale attacks carried out by this organization had all been under his command.

The speed at which Sui Xiong spoke was not fast, and every sentence was clear. It took him a while to finish telling Hogg Bale’s life. Finally, he announced his judgment on the former Emperor of Orcs.

“Hogg Bale, the death penalty.”

After that, he waved his tentacles and sent Hogg to the executioners. Hogg’s strength was fully banned, so he couldn’t speak, and the executioners were waiting excitedly.

Because of the excitement and nervousness, the hands of the executioners were shaking. They failed to catch Hogg well, allowing him to fall to the ground.

Steele stepped forward and grabbed Hogg immediately. Then, she handed him to them.

Seeing the excited executioners, she said, smiling, “Be serious, this is a big man. When you cut his head, you must cut it beautifully. If you do a good job, you can brag about it in front of your children and your grandchildren when you are old. Your descendants could also brag about this in front of others.”

The executioners smiled and calmed down. They carefully examined the guillotine and placed Hogg Bale in the right position. Then, they dropped the sharp blade.

The head flew off with bright red blood flowing out.

In the whole process, Emperor Junero and the Orc gods didn’t show any indications of intervening.
