The Regressed Mercenary's Machinations

Chapter 494

The capital was engulfed in fear.

Now, even the innocent were dragged away by the soldiers without cause.

Every single one of them was sacrificed for Berhem.

Initially, the soldiers roamed about to earn merits. However, they soon found themselves capturing people just to survive.

Neighbors disappearing overnight became a regular occurrence. The fear of being taken next loomed over everyone.

Rumors began to spread among the people.

"The king... has gone mad."

"They say he's devouring people."

"What on earth is happening?"

Ominous rumors spread like wildfire.

There was even talk of negotiating with the duke’s faction. Would that not mean the Salvation Order, who created the rifts and murdered people, would gain even more power?

Everyone wanted to flee the capital, but the surveillance was too tight.

People minimized their outings to avoid being caught. To stay safe, they hid themselves away.

Naturally, economic activity came to a halt, and the atmosphere in the capital grew increasingly bleak.

When the number of people being captured dwindled, Berhem carried out yet another act of madness.

"How is it acceptable that this beautiful capital is sullied by beggars? Eliminate all the vermin!"
