Chapter 1565: I Didn't Have A Choice In The Past

Not only did Ferdinand not beg for forgiveness, but he was also louder and more confident as he exposed Gary's lies and defamation.

The orcs who had been living in fear started to miss the peaceful times when Chief Isaiah was in reign. They looked at Ferdinand, and started to think if the Falk Tribe could go back to the past if Young Master Ferdinand became the new chief.

The expressions of the nobles who were sitting in the VIP area were also a little different. They knew very well what kind of chief Isaiah was to the Falk Tribe for the past century, and they did not have to bootlick a tyrant ruler every day out of fear back then.

The chiefs and representatives of the other tribes looked at Ferdinand with different expressions. Some of them felt sympathy, while others felt pity for this only son of Isaiah.

Billy looked at Ferdinand as he lamented, "What a pity. If there hadn't been a rebellion, he would have been the next Isaiah of the Falk Tribe. If he had a child, then they would be the ruler of the Twilight Forest." He could see Isaiah in him.

"Hehe… Interesting." Auster crossed his legs as he carried on watching the show.

He looks like a bottom, but he talks like a top. Mag was surprised by Ferdinand. From the corner of his eyes, he could see some of the orcs around him pulling out their weapons. It seemed like chaos would begin soon. He lowered his voice, and asked, "Have you found her?"

"Not yet," Camilla replied.

"She's not here?" Mag frowned. Camilla would not have missed Connie with her night vision ability, but why wouldn't she be here today at such an important moment?

"Young Master!" Durward teared up. He watched Ferdinand intently, as though he saw the former chief standing on the elevated platform saying his oath back then.

The young master's speech and behavior were in no way a shame to the former chief's reputation, and he also did not disappoint his supporters.

The orcs pulled out their weapons, and their eyes glimmered. They were willing to give their all, including their lives, for the future of the Falk Tribe.

Gary was a little taken aback by Ferdinand's words. The nephew who appeared to be bad with words suddenly coming up with a speech like this really caught him off guard.

Not only did Gary not enjoy the thrill of being victorious, Ferdinand's words even made the violence that he had been suppressing all this while break free.

"Execute him!" Gary ordered coldly as he spat the words syllable by syllable. This fellow is just as hateful as his father.

"Gary! You usurped the throne by killing the king, your brother. Lord Flerken would never choose someone like you to become the chief of the Falk Tribe!" Ferdinand continued loudly. "People, in the name of Lord Flerken, let's fight back! Let's kill the kingslayer! Let's bring the Falk Tribe back to where it belongs, under the glory of Lord Flerken!"

"Fight back?" Gary looked around at the people below the stage and outside. He smirked, and said, "I do want to see who dares to go against me."

Whoosh!

An arrow came flying over from the darkness, shooting the orc who was about to hang Ferdinand right between his brows, and pinning him to the gallow.

Orcs who were lying in ambush everywhere in the venue started dashing towards the guards as though a signal had been sounded, making their way towards the execution stage.

When Gary saw those orcs dashing in the crowd, he gave a stern order. "Kill them!"

Pssst…

Just then, there was a sound of something tearing.

Gary lowered his head and looked at the dagger that pierced right through his abdomen. He then turned his head around, and watched in disbelief and shock as Basil lowered his hands and took two steps back. He swayed and fell to his knees as he put his hand over his chest. He looked at Basil with anger and indignation as he asked, "Wh-why?"

"Chief Gary!"

Everyone could not help but exclaim at the scene. They watched in disbelief as Basil successfully assassinated Gary, causing him to fall to the ground, and seriously injuring him.

Basil was Gary's best general, and also his trusted aide. How could he suddenly assassinate him at this moment?

The chiefs and representatives from the other tribes could not sit still anymore. At first, they thought they were just here to attend a conferring ceremony. They did not expect the situation to turn so chaotic. All of a sudden, they had no idea what to do.

"Hm? Counterstrike? A spy? A double agent?" Mag was completely baffled when he saw that scene.

After Ferdinand's life was no longer threatened, and Gary's top general turned around to injure him, the situation was totally reversed.

Mag was unable to foresee this situation based on the information the Gray Temple gave him. He also did not expect that Basil, the 10th-tier orc that Gary trusted, a fellow who looked so honest and loyal, would actually turn against him suddenly.

"Basil, what are you doing!?" Darryl and Kurt, who were both standing below the stage, shouted almost simultaneously while looking at Basil in shock.

"I am doing the right thing according to Lord Flerken's guidance!" Basil looked at Darryl and Kurt, and sincerely said to them, "I didn't have a choice in the past, but right now, I want to be a good person and choose a good chief for the tribe."

"Ferdinand!"

"Chief Ferdinand!!!"

The chants got louder, and the voices very quickly echoed around the entire venue and the entire inner city!

Everyone swarmed up to the execution stage and shouted Ferdinand's name. Even the nobles started to join in the chants.

"Darryl, Kurt, kill this betrayer and Ferdinand for me. In the future, the three of us will rule different parts of the Falk Tribe together!" Gary said to gritted teeth to Darryl and Kurt.

Darryl's and Kurt's expressions changed. They exchanged glances and could see the hesitation in each other's eyes. Gary's words were very enticing, no doubt, but now that the situation had gotten out of hand, even they might not be able to kill Basil and Ferdinand to regain control.

"To all the tribesmen who had been threatened or beguiled by Gary, if you can wake up and join me in punishing the kingslayer, the crimes that you've once committed can be pardoned. I guarantee that from today onwards, I will let bygones be bygones!" Ferdinand announced loudly on the execution stage after the chains and ropes on him were removed.

"Gary killed his brother to usurp the throne, beguiled and threatened us. His crimes are punishable by death. Darryl is willing to obey the command of Young Master Ferdinand!" Darryl was the first to kneel in front of Ferdinand.

Kurt quickly kneeled down as he loudly proclaimed, "Kurt is willing to obey too!"

"You… You two…" Gary was stupefied. He did not think that on the day of the conferring ceremony, there would be so much betrayal going on. He turned to Auster, and pleaded, "Chief Auster, please help me to rid my tribe of the betrayers. After this, I would definitely keep my promise!"

"This is the internal affairs of the Falk Tribe. I represent the Aug Tribe. It's not appropriate for me to intervene too much in case of unnecessary trouble. Please settle this yourself," Auster said with a smile.
