章節 453: Dwindling Sympathy (3)

While Basil and company were travelling to the land of the Demi-Human, the situation in the Braxtein Kingdom got worse—at least, from the perspective of its people. The new order that Aldrich gave to the Royal Army had killed a lot of people. Some of them were the specific group that he targeted but most of them were innocent. He didn't care about it, of course, because his main aim was controlling the people through fear.

The reason why this order was concerning was that people still got killed even if they didn't act suspiciously. All it needed for someone to be killed by the Royal Army was someone's accusation. The activity of Basil's sympathizers stopped ever since and their number significantly diminished. However, the hatred toward the King rose every day.
