Terra Martial God and Merit System

Feodor's mind was in a mess, and prosecutors continued to appear with more and more evidence pointing to him.

Even if the perpetrators tried their best to 'eradicate the roots', some would remain.

Not only the spectators in the court, but also residents outside the city were watching the trial.

When those heinous crimes were spoken of, many people exclaimed and gasped.

Fyodor gradually became numb.

He kept hypnotizing himself - it wasn't his fault... it was all a conspiracy of the Terra Union...

Until——another person appeared on the stage.

This man was very thin, walked with a shaky look, and looked even more haggard.

"Gilberto?" Feodoro looked at the court secretary who had followed him the longest, and tears welled up in his eyes without him noticing.

The other party also betrayed?

Is this the next insult?

Feodor felt like committing suicide right now. This trial was too hard to endure.

"I don't think His Majesty did anything wrong," Gilberto said. "He just did what he had to do."

"After all, he didn't kill anyone himself. Maybe those orders were given by someone who deceived him..."

"Shh-"

"Oh↓!"

There was booing in the meeting hall.

Lavinia frowned slightly. Gilberto had promised to expose Fyodor's crimes, but he didn't expect this to happen.

Should we praise his loyalty or laugh at his blind loyalty?

If Luo Chen were here, he would probably sneer and shake his head, imitating the words vividly - "Stealing books is not stealing... Stealing... How can it be considered stealing if it is something that scholars do?"

There is nothing wrong with this statement to describe Feodor's inner thoughts.

"Kill people? Kill? Kill rebels? How can this be considered killing for the emperor?"

He killed rebels! What's the problem?! Don't rebels deserve to die?

Regardless, Gilberto was escorted away amid the boos of the crowd.

The hope that flickered in Fyodor's eyes died. He lowered his head and silently accepted the accusation from the next person.

The prosecution took a long time, and finally all the evidence was prepared and Lavinia struck the gavel.

"Do the defendant and his gang members have any objection to the above evidence?"

There is so much evidence, enough to prove that Feodor planned an organized, premeditated and long-term massacre.

"I am the emperor." Feodor looked up. "Killing rebels is a matter of course. It is ridiculous for you to kill me on this charge. Give me a legitimate reason."

His words were broadcast to every corner of Saint Jun Castle.

Among the crowd gathered under the loudspeaker, some were cursing, while others were in deep thought.

"Do you think there is something wrong with the prosecutor's accusation?" Lavinia asked back, "If you haven't done it, you can refute it."

Lavinia did not answer Fyodor's question directly, or rather, she had already answered it.

Feodor was killed because he killed people, so many innocent people.

But Feodor couldn't accept this reason in his heart. Since ancient times, "the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit". The Terra Union won, he lost, so he killed him. Where did all these reasons come from?

And they claim to be doing it for the people and for justice? Fyodor doesn't believe this bullshit at all.

At this moment, facing Lavinia's words, Feodor fell into deep thought.

What these prosecutors say cannot be false, and there is no problem with the evidence.

I actually did these things...

So he is guilty?

Although it is reasonable for an emperor to kill rebels, it is definitely not the right thing to do to harm innocent people.

Even anywhere, if a ruler kills an innocent person, he will be considered to have a "moral stain" even if he is not imprisoned.

Then the question comes-

He is directly related to the deaths of so many innocent people, so is he really guilty?

guilty?

guilty?

Fyodor could not argue.

Because what you did is a fact that has already happened. You cannot say that this fact does not exist. Moreover, as an emperor, his every move is recorded.

Dispute the facts? Even the most eloquent person in the world can't do it.

After all, anyone with a brain knows that saying "putting aside the facts" is ridiculous.

Fyodor's expression gradually began to struggle.

Although he tried to cover it up, he knew in his heart that he was indeed guilty.

Killing is not enough, we also have to destroy their hearts.

This act of destroying the emperor's heart is the so-called "ultimate insult".

Chapter 322 Death Penalty

"I ask again, do you criminals have any objections?" Lavinia continued.

There was silence at first, and then someone suddenly shouted—

"I am just an official in this matter. All the specific orders were given by Feodor!"

"We are just a nobody..." The person who spoke was a great noble.

He was the first to defect during Feodor's purge, and the one who implicated the most innocent people with the emperor's orders.

During that period, he was extremely successful.

Even the time it took the Terran coalition to capture the Imperial Senate was not as long as the time it took him to pass through the street, show off his skills, and then withdraw.

Now that he was captured, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart - the Terra Union would only kill the bandit leader and not implicate anyone else.

I have so many connections...there must be some that Terra United can use.

They can't possibly kill all the remnants of the old era, right?

As long as there is a chance...

So he started to accuse loudly - "It's not my fault, it was Fyodor who ordered me to do it!"

He spoke with tears in his eyes. In his words, he was like a little white rabbit, completely innocent, and all the bad things he had done were done under his coercion when Feodor held a knife to his throat.

But his sophistry was not accepted by the audience.

Many of the prosecutors knew of his existence and his grand ceremony.

The eyes of the masses are sharp, especially when it comes to their interests.

So a barrage of abuse came out against him, and some people even prepared to climb over the fence and punch him after seeing his shameless look.

Not only that, the other criminal members also started to make noise when they saw him say this.

"It was all Fyodor's fault!"

"I'm right!"

"Your Excellency is wise!!!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

The words vary, but the core idea is to escape one's own punishment.

"Silence! Silence!" With Lavinia's gavel and the maintenance of the on-site personnel, the chaos was finally suppressed.

"It seems that you have no objection to the prosecution..." Lavinia said seriously.

"I didn't do it..." Some nobles were originally shouting, but they kept silent under the iron fist of the bailiff and the angry eyes of the prosecutor.

Lavinia pursed her lips; even she felt her mouth dry now.

"Regarding the Saint Steed Massacre..." she began, "The main culprit is Feodor... the accomplice..."

"According to the laws of the Terran Union..."

"Sentenced to death..."

“Wow——————” The entire venue was in extreme chaos.

The nobles screamed in disbelief, and the prosecutors cheered excitedly.

This emotion even spread and reached the ears of audiences across the city through the radio loudspeakers.

Some people cried bitterly, some had complicated expressions, and some couldn't believe it.

The emperor of Ursus was sentenced to death.

No matter who you are, it is impossible to remain calm in this situation.

Especially people from the old times, whose thoughts are still stuck in the past, simply could not accept this situation for a while.

Some people even wonder - who will be the next emperor?

There must be an emperor, right? There can't be no emperor, right?

In the center of this chaotic emotion, Feodor's mood was the calmest.

He had guessed this result a long time ago. But he didn't expect the process to be like this...

Did Terra United convince itself?

Fyodor didn't know either.

He just knew that death was inevitable from the moment he was caught.

In addition, even the Chief Justice who made the ruling, Lavinia, felt mixed emotions.

She didn't care whether she had convinced the emperor or not. The judge was not there to debate, she was there to judge.

Lavinia just remembered the past....

A few years ago, he was just a law student looking forward to the future, but now he is sitting in the capital of Ursus, judging the Emperor of Ursus.

This span....this change...

"It would be great if Luo Chen was here." she thought to herself.

Lavinia calmed herself down. Now was not the time to be distracted.

So she banged the gavel again.

Under command, the bailiffs took the sentenced prisoner away.

The execution was not now, on the contrary, Tallulah was going to do it in a few days.

She had to plan the execution carefully, especially the situation at the scene.

First there was a parade, then there was the execution.

Tallulah wanted to do this beautifully, but she knew it was very difficult.

The first thing is the security of the parade...no one is allowed to kidnap the prisoners.

But in order to show the crime, a large number of people must see it - this is a troublesome thing.

Routes and security...the intricacies of these cannot be explained in just a few words.

Even so, Tallulah was determined to do it.

She had an expectation in her heart - when Luo Chen left, he asked her to judge Emperor Ursus.

Maybe... after I finish judging him, the other party will wake up?

Although Tallulah knew that this idea was a little ridiculous, she couldn't help but think so... She couldn't help but think about what would happen if Luo Chen woke up...
