บท 106: Chapter 105: The Great Purge(8/?)

With the break of dawn, the entirety of Drachenreich awoke in shock. Armored soldiers relentlessly swept the streets, rounding up members of the Church of Light, dissidents, socialists, other organization members, and even street gangs. Fear gripped the populace once more.

It wasn't only the opposition that was targeted; intellectuals who still harbored anti-imperial sentiments within the Academies were also arrested.

Lord Wilfried mobilized security forces in the capital. Simultaneously, forces in twelve major cities acted at the same hour based on intelligence reports, swiftly asserting Imperial power.

As The Great Purge unfolded, nearly 10,000 radical anti-imperialists were executed within a short period. Newly established courts were directly overseen by Morringan.

Tens of thousands more were exiled from the cities and sent to labor camps. Citizens of the Aurelia Republic had their residency permits revoked and were deported to their homeland.
