179: Chapter 179 A Bloodthirsty Method to Cleanse Millions

Within the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Unfair!"

"This is discrimination against us!"

"Why aren't we allowed to live in the Inner Ring!"

On the streets, dense crowds of civilians wearing uniforms were shouting slogans and holding a protest.

The cause of this chaos was simple—Lin Feng had just promulgated a new decree.

A brand-new aristocratic system had been introduced, which directly shattered the fantasies of the lower-class civilians about entering the safe zones.

Ordinary people simply did not qualify to live in the Inner Ring, which had the strongest defenses.

However, this chaotic situation was entirely under Lin Feng's control.

"Lord Lin Feng, things have gotten a bit out of hand. Large-scale protests have broken out in all four ring zones."

Amaterasu stood behind Lin Feng, looking at the dense crowd below, her eyes full of worry.

The number of people causing trouble this time exceeded estimates; combined, the four zones had at least several tens of millions of people.

If it wasn't suppressed quickly, the entire Empire's rear would be paralyzed.

"Causing trouble?"

Lin Feng stood at a high vantage point, his face expressionless, his tone cold:

"In the military, those who shake morale are executed on the spot. Although these people are not soldiers, for them to jump out and cause trouble at a critical moment when a great war is imminent, there must be someone behind it."

"Notify the troops maintaining order, do not hold back, and drive all these troublemakers to the outside of the Fourth Ring."

Lin Feng felt no ripples regarding this so-called protest.

It was understandable that people in the Fourth Ring felt it was unfair and came out to make trouble.

It was barely explainable that people in the Third and Second Rings joined in the clamor.

But what he found most ridiculous was that those in the First Ring had actually joined the protest Ranks as well.

Those guys were enjoying the best resources of the Empire and living in the safest place, yet they were now demanding fairness for others.

"Lin Feng, many of the people causing trouble in the First Ring are young descendants of the Empire. Do you really want to expel them too?"

Old Dragon sighed, his tone filled with reluctance.

These were the Foundation of the Great Xia Kingdom; if they were all thrown to the outermost perimeter, they would definitely die if the enemy attacked.

"How many people from the First Ring are involved?" Lin Feng turned around and looked at Old Dragon.

"The statistics show... 123,000 people." Old Dragon avoided Lin Feng's gaze, looking helpless.

With hundreds of thousands of people gathering to protest, it was absolutely impossible to organize so quickly without someone fanning the flames.

But the current war situation did not allow them to sit down and investigate slowly.

As long as the members of the Heavens Hunter Group weren't fools, they must have realized it by now and could launch a full-scale attack at any time.

At this time, internal hidden dangers must be cut out using the fastest means.

"Old Dragon, you should understand what I mean. I don't care about those power struggles, but this is a special period, and I will not allow any unstable factors to appear internally."

"As for the expulsion, have the commanders of the four war zones take their troops to handle it. It can serve as a warm-up exercise before the great war."

Lin Feng rubbed his temples, his face showing a hint of fatigue.

He had been constantly on the move, frantically harvesting resources from external points, and before he could even rest, this mess had happened at home.

Especially those idiots in the First Ring, who were actually promoting equality for all and demanding equal treatment for people from other Empires.

It was simply absurd.

"I understand."

Old Dragon closed his eyes, reluctantly accepting this reality.

If it were ordinary times, he would definitely use gentle means to appease them, but in the current situation, although Lin Feng's approach was ruthless, it was the most effective.

"Leave it to me, I will handle the Second Ring." Amaterasu spoke softly from the side, her mood equally heavy.

She understood the thoughts of the lower-class people in the Red Sun Empire too well.

Now that various rumors about her and Lin Feng were spreading outside, those civilians simply wanted to use this relationship to fish in troubled waters and sneak into the First Ring to enjoy themselves.

To put it bluntly, it was greed.

Following Lin Feng's order, the conflict of interest caused by class division was thoroughly ignited.

The deities within the Four Beast Divine Kingdom were divided into five Ranks: nobility, first-, second-, and third-class citizens, and slaves.

Today was destined to be sacrificed with blood.

On the streets of the Fourth Ring.

The parade had completely turned into a riot, with countless people starting to smash shops along the street and frantically looting cultivation resources.

In front of tens of millions of irrational rioters, those chamber of commerce guards appeared extremely fragile and could not stop them at all.

Rumble—

The sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the end of the street.

The elite legion of the Furry Bear Empire had arrived.

Each soldier stepped on a war giant bear over ten meters tall, emitting a fierce Killing Intent.

The seventh- and eighth-Rank commanders were charging at the very front, the giant bears beneath them over a hundred meters tall.

"You dare to lay a hand on civilians? Aren't you afraid of causing everyone to resist!"

A fair-skinned, blonde rioter leader waved his weapon, screaming hysterically at the army.

His response was a merciless blow from a battle axe.

Rip!

Blood rained from the sky.

"With a great enemy at the gates, you aren't thinking about how to resist external enemies, but are here looting supplies and disrupting the rear."

The commander of the Furry Bear Empire had cold eyes:

"Who else to kill if not you? If you are sensible, all get out to the outermost perimeter and block bullets for me!"

The style of the Furry Bear Empire had always been clean and decisive; facing these rioters, there was no nonsense.

In an instant, the butcher's knife fell, and dense crowds of rioters fell in swathes.

It happened to be drizzling in the sky, and the rainwater mixed with blood gathered into streams on the street.

The army did not stop until all the troublemakers were forcibly expelled from the boundary of the Fourth Ring.

Inside the Third Ring.

The White-Headed Eagle Empire legion led by Chu Yun also encountered fierce resistance.

The civilians here had spontaneously organized into a resistance army, with strength greater than that of the Fourth Ring, and the two sides engaged in a cruel tug-of-war within the building complex, fighting to a stalemate.

Second Ring.

Amaterasu personally led the clergy to suppress them.

Relying on absolute strength and pressure, nearly a million rioting civilians were forcibly dispersed.

Because she personally came forward, although force was used in the Second Ring, the number of casualties remained within a controllable range.

Lin Feng stood in the high sky, taking all of this into his eyes.

Finally, his gaze fell on the area of the First Ring.

That was the territory of the Great Xia Kingdom itself.

The regular army here was in a standoff with the protesting young students, but no bloody conflict had occurred.

"We want fairness!"

"Abolish the aristocratic system! Equality for all!"

Those young descendants of deities stood in a row, their faces devoid of fear, even carrying a sense of inexplicable superiority.

They were certain that the Empire's army dared not do anything to them.

Whoosh.

Lin Feng's figure appeared behind Old Dragon without warning.

"You can't bring yourself to do it?"

Old Dragon looked at those familiar young faces and smiled bitterly:

"After all, they are still young and don't understand many things. Do we really have to go this far?"

Looking at the deep wrinkles on Old Dragon's face, Lin Feng shook his head:

"Old Dragon, you are indeed old."

If it were the younger Old Dragon, encountering such a thing that shook the Foundation, he would definitely kill the chicken to warn the monkey without hesitation.

Now, he ultimately had concerns.

"Yes, indeed old." Old Dragon did not refute, his tone full of reluctance.

"Forget it, since you can't do it, leave this matter to Gu Ze. Young people have cleaner methods, saving trouble later." Lin Feng turned around, preparing to call someone.

"No, wait."

Old Dragon suddenly reached out and stopped Lin Feng, his eyes becoming sharp again:

"Let me be the villain. Gu Ze is a pillar of the future and cannot be tainted by such a reputation. As for you, you must not have any connection to this matter."

Old Dragon knew very well that Lin Feng's future lay in the vast Universe, and the Great Xia Kingdom should not become a stain that bound him.

It was most appropriate for him, an old guy, to bear the infamy of this internal purge.

Lin Feng glanced at Old Dragon and said indifferently:

"I have never cared about external gossip. Let's go together."
