"Disgusting me even in death, you truly deserve to die."
But deep in her eyes, a trace of complexity appeared, though it was quickly hidden, unnoticed by anyone.
"Well killed! These cunning fellows all deserve to be killed!"
Fanny sat on Jona Velli's shoulder, cheering repeatedly, her laughter and clapping making these humans feel like they were on pins and needles.
Seeing the caravan owner killed so brutally, the other humans were scared limp and knelt on the ground one after another.
But they didn't dare to wail or make a louder sound, fearing that the next to die would be themselves.
Ignoring Fanny's words, Jona Velli looked at the group of humans and spoke coldly.
"Who is the second person in charge of this caravan?"
Her voice wasn't loud, but everyone present heard it clearly.
A few seconds later, a hand was raised from the caravan, and a young man stood up tremblingly from the crowd.
"Your... Your Excellency, it's me."
Jona Velli glanced at Little Shunzi. Little Shunzi understood, kicked through the crowd, and dragged the man in front of Jona Velli.
Jona Velli looked at his trembling appearance, feeling inexplicably pleased.
"Very well, tell me why you launched the attack?"
"In... in response to Your..."
Jona Velli frowned; this person's stuttering speech was not to her liking.
She raised her small hand. The young man thought he was about to die on the spot and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically.
"Spare my life... Your Excellency!"
Jona Velli cast a Calm magic.
"If you say one more word, that guy's fate will be yours."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
Seeing his head was still on his shoulders, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
"In response to Your Excellency, Boss Art wanted to capture those special magic beasts of White Crystal City, take them back to enslave them, and harvest their scales at any time to sell.
Moreover..."
He looked at the Little Fairy sitting on Jona Velli's shoulder and spoke again.
"An ordinary fairy is worth more than two hundred gold coins, let alone this kind of Ice Elemental Fairy, which can be sold for at least a thousand gold coins or more, so..."
"So you chose the most crude method?"
"Yes..."
"Hmph! Truly foolish."
Fanny was stunned by these words and could not be calm for a long time.
"Spare us, Your Excellency, we were also forced by circumstances."
Jona Velli didn't answer, scanned these humans, and began to ponder.
'Killing these humans is certainly easy, but it would also cut off White Crystal City's economy. To kill them, we'd have to wait for at least another caravan to come here for trade, but the probability of that is too low.
Moreover, most of them are mercenaries and Adventurers; if something happens to all of them, it might cause unnecessary trouble.'
While thinking, an idea suddenly occurred to Jona Velli.
'There are too many of these people. If the number is reduced, it could serve as a greater deterrent and reduce suspicion.'
Thinking of this, Jona Velli parted her dragon mouth in a grin.
"Little Shunzi, pass down the order: keep only two hundred people, and kill all the rest!"
"Yes! My Lord!"
Jona Velli's words made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, and they all knelt to beg for mercy, but it was too late. Little Shunzi turned around, his gaze turning cold.
"Kill!"
Immediately, the White Crystal Knights rushed into the crowd and began an indiscriminate attack.
Gris also flew out at this time, sensing the slaughter feast, and immediately joined the massacre.
Ten minutes later, rivers of blood flowed outside White Crystal City; the white, red, and black White Crystal Knights were all stained red with blood.
The remaining two hundred people were mentally broken by this terrifying scene.
Some cried loudly, some were calm, and some were slightly crazed.
During the massacre, Is also woke up slowly, but after seeing this scene, he fainted again from fear.
