Machine War: Starting from Gundam OO

Chapter 1654 Dust falls to the ground
"Is Mr. Cruze really okay?" Shanamia said worriedly as she sat on the throne. All the people had already taken refuge, the fire in the explosion area had been put out, the knights who had caused chaos had all been arrested, and the ground forces of the Promise Legion were helping Free to restore normal order, clean up the scene, and count casualties. Only Cruze, who had been taken away by Granton, had not returned yet, so Shanamia couldn't help but worry.

On the one hand, Granton is the biggest culprit. If we can't catch him, everything we have done before will be meaningless. On the other hand, Cruze is the messenger of the Promuos Legion, and from the contact, it seems that Cruze has a very high status in the Promuos Legion. If anything happens, will the Promuos Legion still accept Free?
"Please rest assured, Lord Cruze will not have any accidents." El Elf said very confidently. Although he didn't know how many times he had answered this question, he was still very patient.

"But……"

"coming."

"Ok?"

Shanamia and the others were stunned for a moment, then immediately ran out of the palace. When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw [Divine Will Dominieren (The Lord)] landing in front of them, and Granton's body... Sorry, I don't know where it is, but [Divine Will Dominieren (The Lord)] seemed to have something in his hand. As it bent down and spread its palm on the ground, people could see it clearly.

"Grundon!?"

Shanamia and the others were horrified, because at this moment, Granton no longer had any of his former ambitions and calm dignity. Lying flat on the palm of [Divine Will Dominieren (Dominant)], Granton's body twitched from time to time, his face was haggard, his pupils disappeared, drool was flowing from the corners of his open mouth, and his lower body... even emitted a foul smell.

"I'm sorry for coming back late, Lady Shanamia, Lady Dania. I got carried away and played a little longer." The cockpit door of [Dominieren (Dominion)] opened, Cruze jumped to the ground, and walked towards Shanamia and Dania Gede with graceful steps.

"Mr. K... Cruze, what... what on earth is this..." Shanamia's gaze moved back and forth between Granton and Cruze, her eyes filled with fear.

"Hmm..." Cruze touched his chin and grinned, "...don't worry about these little things."

"Is this a trivial matter!?" Shanamia and the others roared in their hearts. It was really hard for them to imagine how cruelly Granton had been tortured to become like this.

"Don't worry, Ms. Shanamia, Granton is still alive..."

"It's better to kill him!" Shanamia and others shouted in their hearts at the same time.

"...In order for him to be able to stand trial normally, I personally suggest waking up all of Free's people, then reading out his crimes in front of everyone, and then presenting evidence, and finally holding a public trial. This requires you to carry out this matter in person."

"Ah? Oh, that's no problem... Wait! Trial? Granton? But he looks like this..." Shanamia was in a trance. Granton's current state... He was indeed still alive, but he couldn't be said to be alive. In this state, he was sent to be tried in front of all the people. Isn't this more excessive than killing a person, resurrecting him, and then killing him again?
Wait! All the people?
"Mr. Cruze, you said... wake up all the people?" Shanamia looked at Cruze and asked.

"Yes, Your Excellency Shanamia, after all, such a vicious armed rebellion has occurred in the country. The people naturally need to know the truth and the final outcome, and... they must be satisfied." Cruze answered as a matter of course.

"But now Free..."

"If Your Excellency Shanamia is worried that Free's resources are not enough to meet the needs of the Free people, then don't worry. Our support forces will arrive in Free tomorrow at the latest. In addition to the necessary escort forces, the rest are all transport ships carrying supplies, as well as a group of engineering troops responsible for post-disaster reconstruction."

"This……"

Shanamia was stunned by Cruze's combination of punches. Isn't this too efficient? Granton was just captured, and the support for Free is about to arrive. It's a seamless connection. Isn't Cruze afraid that she will break the contract?
However, Shanamia saw the MS that was guarding the palace instead of the Knights out of the corner of her eye, and naturally understood why Cruze was not worried about her breach of contract. In fact, her situation had not changed at all, except that the palace was controlled by the rapid reaction force of the Promise Legion instead of Free's rebel knights, not to mention... the necessary guard force that Cruze had just mentioned.

It seems to be a relief, but Cruze is also reminding Shanamia that we have done what we should do, so don't have any bad thoughts now~!

"Your Majesty." Dania Gad also reminded Shanamia from behind that she couldn't act rashly now.

"Yes, I understand, Chief Zai. First, appease the civil officials, and then cooperate with our allies to deal with the aftermath."

Although Dania Gad was faking his death, he was "dead" to outsiders. His sudden appearance would definitely cause some unrest. As a party involved in this incident and also the chief sergeant of Free, this matter would definitely be left to him to deal with.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Fulu, go and ask the Chief Guard to come out. The culprit has been caught. There is no need to wrong the Chief Guard any longer."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"And...Ovan." Shanamia looked at Ovan Ranks, who was standing respectfully behind her, with a complicated expression. This paladin was originally a trusted subordinate of Granton.

"Your Majesty, please give your orders." Ovan Lanxes didn't care about Shanamiya's strange look at all. He knelt on one knee respectfully, put one hand on his chest and saluted, waiting for Shanamiya's order.

"Take Granton away, imprison him, and interrogate him to see if there are any fish that have escaped the net. No one involved in this rebellion should be let off." Originally, Shanamia was going to let this matter be handed over to Fleur Monroe, but she now has a lot of things to do and too few people. Orvan Ranks was originally Granton's man, and now he is under Cruze's control. His identity is too complicated and sensitive, so she originally didn't plan to use him, but the reality forced Shanamia to bite the bullet and use Orvan Ranks.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Regarding the fish that slipped through the net, Lord Shanamia can rest assured. We have already investigated all the people who participated in the rebellion. As for those who were attached to Granton but failed to play a role in this rebellion, we have already arrested and dealt with them. Here is the list, please take a look."

"This..." Shanamiya was stunned. The list in her hand was a bit long and... heavy. It was so heavy that Shanamiya could hardly lift it because it was too long. "Mr. Cruze, this list..."

"Please rest assured that this list has been repeatedly verified by us. We have detailed records of the crimes, some minor and some serious. We will never wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let a bad person go."

"...Really? Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Cruze. Please give me a satisfactory result in the end."

"No problem." Cruze touched his chest and bowed. When he looked up again, the smile on the corner of his mouth scared Shanamia so much that she took two steps back. "Then... please prepare yourself, Ms. Shanamia, and follow me to Earth in three days."
