Although the matter of Kordak caused a lot of waves in the Hawk Empire at the beginning, as time passed, the residents of the Hawk Empire gradually shifted their attention. At this time, the media was dumb and silent, which further made people forget the name of Kordak, which was once extremely loud on the battlefield.

It's kind of ironic to think about, isn't it?

Although the military rank was not very high, Kordak's outstanding exploits in the southern battlefield were still very dazzling at that time. Because of the deliberate propaganda of the empire and the media, people at that time would give a thumbs up and praise the name of the iron-blooded giant bear Kordak.

And then Kordak was embroiled in a conspiracy that, though somewhat out of the ordinary, was strictly speaking absolutely untouchable to the fundamental interests of the Empire. What did he do? It was nothing more than an attempt to attack the city lord without permission, and as for betraying the imperial military secrets and mutiniing with the entire corps, he had not done anything at all.

But also because of the empire and public opinion, Kordak has become a veritable traitor in the eyes of the people, a despicable villain who sells his friends for glory and will do anything for his position. For a while, people couldn't help but take a sip when they mentioned Kordak.

And in the end, as the media and the empire quieted down, people gradually forgot about the "traitor" who would have made them gnash their teeth even if they mentioned it. If you think about it carefully, smart people can see that in fact, the feelings of most of the people in the empire are controlled by the media and various public opinion guides. What the empire says is good, people think is good, and what the empire says bad, people think is bad.

Seemingly mundane media outlets such as the Melindale Daily have also played an important role in the empire.

But more than a month later, two bombshells in quick succession once again caused waves within Melindell.

The first bomb was that the Imperial Military Tribunal had completed the trial of Kordak. Verdict: Guilty, death penalty. Kordak will be paraded in half a month and then guillotined.

Hearing this news, people were happy and disdainful of the dark elegy that was once the Kordak brothers. At the beginning, the relationship between the two was so good, they all said that they were brothers in life and death. As a result, one of the two did not hesitate to betray his brother for the sake of status. The other was betrayed and decisively killed.

Hehe, the "smart people" have long seen that the matter of Kordak has been silent for so long, and it was suddenly pushed out and beheaded, and there is no dark elegy to make a hindrance, they really don't believe it!

Back then, these two people were talking about people who valued love and righteousness, but how did they know that with the passage of time, the despicable heart hidden behind these righteousness and straightforwardness would be revealed so quickly. Looking at these two people, what the people of the Hawke Empire sighed in their hearts was still that sentence after all: Lu Yao knew that the horsepower was insufficient, and the people's hearts were not ancient for a long time.

But Kordak's death was just an insignificant matter for the people of the Hawke Empire, in fact, another incident became a major news that shocked the entire Hawke Empire, and even the entire continent.

That is the patriarch of the three dynasties of the Hawke Empire, and General Manhattan, the imperial marshal who is unmatched in terms of seniority and prestige, resigned from his position and officially retired to old age. Moreover, he did not take a back seat and continue to contribute to the empire like other old ministers. Rather, it is to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, and suddenly and completely withdraw from the political arena of the empire!

Compared to this news, Kordak's death sentence is nothing more than a trivial matter. Because it was the Imperial Marshal General Manhattan! When the inhabitants of the Hawke Empire heard of Kordak's death, they only sighed two sentences of the world's bleakness, and the hearts of the people in this world were sinister. But when people heard about the Manhattan general, most of the inhabitants of the empire felt like a bolt from the blue.

Anyone who has spent some time in the Hawke Empire knows the name General Manhattan. His personal strength is definitely not outstanding, but his ability to command and use troops and strategize is unsatisfactory to everyone in the empire.

In fact, it was he who took a fancy to Kordak back then, and he heard about Kordak's Reaper squad at Costa Fortress. He also admired the performance of Alexander's Golden Eagle Knights squad in raiding the Stoke logistics supply team at that time. So the old general secretly mentioned two sentences of Kordack to Ralvin, so that Kordaq could mix in the position of an independent captain just after enlisting in the army.

If this were not the case, Kordak would only have to be in the squadron leader for a while.

And what happened later did prove the vision of General Manhattan and the ability of Kordak. Although the character of this guy Kordak is a little bad, but at least this ability, General Manhattan is not mistaken.

In addition to Kordak, Manhattan also secretly mentioned many petty officers who were talented in the army but could not be used. In fact, they did well on the battlefield later. Kordak, on the other hand, was the most prominent and conspicuous of them.

So, Manhattan's ability is not only reflected in the use of troops to fight wars. His influence on the morale of the entire Imperial Army and the excavation of talents throughout the Imperial Army played a crucial role. Even though he is now old, the people of the Hawke Empire still regard him as the soul of the Imperial army, which is impossible to replace even Alexander, who rose like a comet in this war.

But now Manhattan is getting old.

What are you kidding? The situation of the Imperial War has just entered a counteroffensive posture, okay? At this critical time, General Manhattan, you tell the old man? What do you let the Imperial army do? What do you let the people of the Empire do? What do you let the Empire do with the war situation that has just become clear?

When this news came out, many people in the Hawke Empire had this kind of worry in their hearts. But they forget that Ralvin is not an idiot, and since he is willing to agree to let Manhattan retire, he naturally has his own considerations.

After Manhattan resigned as marshal, Ralvin divided the original Manhattan responsibilities into three parts, of which Alexander was responsible for the command of the elite corps, and the other two corps commanders were promoted to corps commanders, one was responsible for the military movement of the Imperial Front Corps, and the other was responsible for defending the major fortresses in the southern part of the Empire. The commanders of the three legions are equal in rank, but only a few people know who is the real protagonist among the three.

In fact, Ralvin seems to have premeditated such a change in military structure. When Manhattan went into seclusion, the military hierarchy of the empire seemed to have changed a lot. But in essence, Ralvin only divided the power of Manhattan alone into the hands of three people in disguise, and then firmly controlled all three of them to himself.

And this is also the reason why Ralvin will agree to Manhattan's old age: Manhattan is indeed the pillar of the imperial military, but this pillar is too thick, so thick that Ralvin can't help but worry about it, even if Manhattan has always been loyal to the Hawke Empire, but no matter how Manhattan proves his loyalty, this kind of thing will affect the foundation of the empire, Ralvin will naturally not be at ease.

Besides, even if Manhattan had no plans, he was too old after all. Even if he can continue to command the whole army at this time, his retirement is also a problem that needs to be solved in the past few years. Rather than waiting for Manhattan to leave the position unexpectedly due to aging, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to solve the problem.

This was something that Ralvin had thought about since the beginning of the Imperial War, and now that he had finally solved the problem that had been a headache for him. Of course, Ralvin himself knew that it was quite unfair to treat Manhattan in this way. So he offered some compensation, but Manhattan didn't care about it at all. He made only one request......

......

In a blink of an eye, the day came to send Kordak on the road, because this guy's crime was not small, so the empire dragged him around and then sent him to the guillotine.

The tall man was being helped tightly with the alchemy rope that imprisoned the fighting spirit, and a guard behind him kept pushing and shoving him, making him stagger forward. Many of the people around him were pointing fingers at him, and although many of them admired him for his contributions to the battlefield at the beginning, now, when they look at this down-and-out man, they only have the words "disdain" and "deserved" written in their eyes.

The parade lasted about just over an hour, and at the end, the tall man was pushed to the execution ground. Because Kordak is also a corps commander with thousands of people, his death will naturally attract many big people to watch.

But if one had the heart, it was not difficult to find that Joffrey, who should have been present at the time of the execution, was not here. The guy had one of his legs torn off by Kordak during the hunt for Kordak. Now, although the limbs have been reconnected through the limited wishing technique, the effect of the limited wishing technique is limited, and at this time, Joffrey has lost the ability to move flexibly and has become a cripple.

If Joffrey's character were to be judged by common sense, he would have taken a glass of the finest red wine of Rousseau and tasted it with pleasure while admiring the scene of the heads of the Cordacs rolling around on the ground. But he's not here today, what did he do?

In addition to Joffrey's absence, Regna was accidentally found at the execution site. Does this guy really hate Kordak so much? He has to watch Kordak die to be willing? Or ...... Is Regner here at this time because he has some other plans?
