Chapter 776
At that point, Registus nodded slightly in front of the camera. It had to be said that he was skilled in
acting and knew how to feign innocence.
With just a few simple sentences, he managed to distance himself from his guilt and give people the
illusion of a clean and faultless leader.
He seemed innocent, pitiful, and righteous. He was like the embodiment of a perfect monarch without
any ws.

The news report was not long.
However, in those brief minutes, it immediately caused a massive uproar within Florence and even
globally like a Category 5 hurricane.
The Wolf King, Andrius Moonshade…
After just achieving a major victory, everyone thought that the Wolf King’s reputation would reach a new
peak, and he might even be a “divine figure” of Florence. After all, he had aplished
magnificent feats of god with the body of a mortal.
Unfortunately…
As soon as the news broke, since it was broadcast nationwide simultaneously, it pushed Andrius into
the eye of the storm.
“I didn’t know he was that kind of Wolf King!”
“He’s a traitor to the country. It doesn’t matter even if he’s the Wolf King!”
“Since hemitted treason, there’s nothing to say. If the evidence is solid, then he should be
executed mercilessly!”
“I was wondering how the Wolf King was able to agree to a peace treaty so quickly and even demand
one third of the Western Nations‘ territories aspensation. It turns out he had ambitions of rebellion
all along.”
“The Wolf King should be punished for his crimes, and the trial be broadcast worldwide. Bring him into
the light!”
Half a minuteter, a barrage of negativements about the Wolf King flooded in, upying all the
comment sections and targeting the Wolf King. It would not be hard for someone attentive to realize
that the narrative was being steered in a certain direction deliberately.
Unfortunately, there were few who remained calm and thinking independently among the masses. Most
just followed the herd mentality.
Nevertheless, amidst the storm of criticism, the opposite narrative also emerged.
Many citizens who believed in the Wolf King, particrly those in the Western region or those who
enjoyed peace near the borders, started to defend him.
“The Wolf King couldn’t have rebelled It’s like how the Florence football team will never lose to top–tier
opponents in the World Cup because they’ll never have the opportunity to y against them.”
“If the Wolf King rebelled, I will swear to my singlehood this year. I’ll be willing to stay single forever.”
“nder. It’s tant nder. Anyone who has interacted with the Wolf King before knows that he treats
enemies ruthlessly but his fellow Florencians with utmost kindness.”
“I’m willing to sign a petition dering the Wolf King’s innocence!”
“I’m willing to sign a petition dering the Wolf King’s innocence!”
Both sides of the argument were vocal, and a tug–of–war ensued.
In Sumeria, Brus gathered everyone together as soon as possible.
“What do you all think about this matter?” Brus‘ expression was dark as ink as he looked over the
crowd below.
“Andrius couldn’t havemitted treason.”
Luna’s simple statement immediately revealed her stance. She believed in Andrius unconditionally.
Andrius risked his life and drank poison to save her. He gave up a promising situation on the battlefield
and put himself in danger just to protect her.
How could someone like that possibly be a traitor?
“I feel the same.” Brus nodded. He had no reason other than that he trusted his own judgment and
intuition. Andrius would never rebel. He loved thend beneath his feet and the people of Florence.
His love was ardent and profound.
After those two spoke, even if Harry and the others had different opinions, they had no choice but to
suppress them.
“Since this is a public trial, the emperor must consider the overall situation. They will find reasons for
Andrius‘ rebellion and use them as arguments.”
Brus narrowed his eyes and said, “Thus, let’s contact Andrius‘ formerrades and gather a
petition of 10,000 signatures to prove his innocence and support him. What do you all think?”
“Sure.”
“I think it’s a good idea.”
“No problem…”
The crowd chimed in one after another.
At the Western border, Noir immediately gathered the Eight Commanders upon hearing this news.
“I believe you all have heard the news.” Noir looked at themanders, his eyes bloodshot with fury
and rage. “First, Registus framed Can and the other officers with baseless chargers and ughtered
them.
“Now, he intends to do the same with the Wolf King. We can’t just stand idly by.”
His words immediately gained unanimous agreement from everyone present
“That scum Registus… We risked our lives to defend the country for him, but this is how he’s treating
the Lycantroops. Damn him!”
“If it weren’t for the Lycantroops shedding our blood on the battlefield, how could Registus continue to
sitfortably on his throne?”
“Registus is cruel and unscrupulous. He doesn’t deserve to be the emperor.”
“ck Wolf, give the orders. We’ll listen to you.”
