Heart of Empire

Chapter 284: Times have changed

Today is a rare good day for Shawan Harbour.

The clear sky itself makes people look very comfortable. What's more comfortable is that the sandy wind that always hangs from the north side is very quiet today. Instead, a sea breeze blew from the south with a slight coolness.

This slightly coolness is a luxury for people who have already entered Shawan Harbor in summer. Throughout the summer, there are only a handful of days where such comfortable weather can occur.

It seems that God is helping Dean.

The central square of Wangang has always been the most prosperous area in the city. Although the port city has just experienced a war in the past few days, in fact, Ma Long ’s military operation against the Gulf Port did not break through the North Gate at all from the outside, so it is naturally impossible for the city to cause What destroys.

As for the Port Guard's attack on the North Gate from inside the city, the battle with Verina's troops on the streets outside the North Gate has actually affected some places around the North Gate. However, the surrounding area of ​​Beidaemen is not a prosperous area, and the degree of damage is relatively average, so this impact is not significant.

So, after a war, apart from being frightened, the lives of the people in Shawan Port were not affected much.

It is also under such circumstances that people are still in the mood to visit the open trial conference in the central square.

What's more, the subject of the trial was Ma Long, the owner who once controlled Shawan Bay.

The central square has been arranged like an open court in the open one day in advance. The jury on the trial bench was sitting tight, and the leading judge and clerk were all there. It is only one point. What is different from the trials that people have seen in the past is that although it still seems that the official judge at Shawangang will be responsible for this trial, behind the judge, a A staircase, obviously more noble, with a seat on it.

Who will sit on this chair? Of course it is Dane!

The judge and jury arrived, and Malone, the defendant, and more than twenty officers of the Iron Nail Post, Malone, and the Port Guard who were awaiting trial were all present, but the audience remained quiet.

"Tread, step, step ..." There was a tapping sound, and people looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a large group of heavily armed soldiers with a white cover on the outside, neatly lined up. The team came to the scene with great force.

A path was involuntarily divided among the crowd-neither could it be divided, and the dazzling sword stood here.

Trained soldiers stood in two rows, then made two big steps in unison, leaving a passage.

So belated, Dane, surrounded by a large group of soldiers, arrived at the scene riding a strong white wolf.

Delivering the reins of the wolf to a soldier, Dane, wearing a pair of leather boots, a pair of leather trousers, and a simple shirt, walked up to the chair reserved for him.

The seat was fairly comfortable. He nodded with satisfaction, then waved his hand and said casually, "Go ahead."

So, a trial mainly directed at Malone began with Dane's hand.

The judge stood up, nodded slightly to Dion sitting behind him, then cleared his throat, took the scroll in his hand, spread it out, and began to chant.

"Malone, Bath, Nathan, Ingie ..."

He first read a series of names, a series of defendants with tied hands under the field, all officers at all levels. These captives were kept by Dion for this trial. There is nothing to judge the big soldiers, but these officers who have some status are not the same. And among them. Of course, Malone is the most important.

"Murder, incitement to war, sabotage ..."

After reading the name, the judge read a string of charges.

"Can you plead guilty?"

Ma Long shook his head and said, "I confess my guilt, I confess ..."

Do you plead guilty at this time?

Of course not.

In fact, when Malone was still in prison earlier, someone from Dane came to talk to him, mentioned this public trial, and showed Dane's meaning: as long as he pleaded guilty, in the end Will let him go.

He had no choice but to do so.

After confession, Malone lowered his head, seemingly disheartened, but was praying that Dane could truly fulfill his promise.

He was then sentenced to death.

After hearing the judge pronounce the word 'death sentence', Malone's mood collapsed immediately. He struggled to get up from the ground, he wanted to open his mouth, and loudly declared Dane's shamelessness to all the residents of Sand Bay Harbor who were watching the trial.

But he didn't have time to say a word. The two soldiers who were standing behind him rushed up faster than him, knocked him to the ground, and plugged his mouth with a rag. The officers behind him who were also sentenced to death were also taken by soldiers who had been prepared for them.

...

After the verdict was passed, the criminal law was implemented very quickly. In the morning of the next day, ten gallows were placed in front of the north gate of Shawan Port, and three hundred tied soldiers and officers were crushed onto the court.

They stood in line, one by one on the gallows, roped around their necks, tightened, then pulled up, interrupting their breathing instantly.

In the face of death ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ no one will not struggle. But the struggle was not even ten seconds away, and those still bounced legs calmed down one by one.

The executioners dropped the guys who had their necks severed from the gallows, and then ten more lined up. Thirty times like this, more than 300 people who had been enemies with Dane during the war a few days ago, without exception, were all hanged.

The last one to step up was Malone.

This cruel execution was also held in public, and there were many more onlookers than at the trial the day before. Even if the weather today is not as good as yesterday, it can't stop people's enthusiasm. It seems that people want to see how the high-ranking officers of the past, and those soldiers who have been arrogant and domineering, have ended.

Not to mention, among them is Ma Long, a big name who has been resounding in Shawan Port for more than ten years.

When Malone was hanged, it should be the most severe time for this execution, but at this time it was so silent that even the wind stopped.

Everyone knows that from this moment, the killing of the bay port ... No, it should be said that the entire south of Hindler's, the times have changed. (To be continued.)
