Chapter 284: Times Have Changed

Today is a rare good weather for Shawan Harbor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The clear sky itself is very pleasant to see, and what is even more comforting is that the wind with sand, which usually hangs from the north, is quiet today. On the contrary, there is a sea breeze blowing from the south, which is slightly cool.

This slight coolness is tantamount to a very luxurious enjoyment for the people of Shawan Harbor who have entered the summer. There are only a handful of days that can have such comfortable weather throughout the summer.

It seems that God is doing Dane a favor.

The central square of Bay Harbor has always been the most prosperous area in the whole city. Although, a few days ago, this port city had just experienced a war, but in fact, Ma Long's military operation against the bay port this time was not able to break through the north gate from the outside, so it was naturally impossible to cause any damage to the city.

As for the port guard's attack on the North Gate from the inside of the city, and the battle with Velina's troops on the streets outside the North Gate, it had a certain impact on some places around the North Gate. However, the area around the North Gate is not a prosperous area, and the degree of damage is relatively average, so the impact is not too big.

So, after a war, apart from some fright, the lives of the people in Shawan Harbor were not greatly affected.

It is precisely under such circumstances that people are still in the mood to go to the central square to visit this public trial.

What's more, the object of trial is still Ma Long, the master who once controlled Shawan Harbor.

The central plaza had been set up to look like an open-air open courtroom a day earlier. The jury on the bench was seated, and the judge and clerk at the head were all there. The only difference from the previous trials is that, although it seems that the trial will still be presided over by the official judge of Shawan Harbor, behind the judge is a clearly more dignified platform with three steps high, on which a chair is placed.

Who will sit on this chair? Of course it has to be Dane!

The judge and the jury were all present, as well as Ma Long, who was the defendant, and more than 20 officers of the Iron Nail Legion, the Ma Long Legion, and the Port Guard who were waiting to be tried, were also present, but the whole audience was still quiet.

"Step, step, step......" There was a sound of kicking, and people looked in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a large group of heavily armed soldiers with shiny armor and a white coat on the outside, lined up in a neat line, and came to the scene in a mighty way.

The crowd involuntarily divided into a path - no division, no way, the bright sword stood here.

The well-trained soldiers stood in two rows, and then they gave up two large steps in unison, leaving a passageway.

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

Giving the reins of the wolf to a soldier to pick him up, Dane, dressed in a pair of leather boots, a pair of leather trousers, and a simple shirt, stepped onto the chair reserved for him.

The seat was quite comfortable, he nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand and said casually, "Let's start." ”

Thus, a trial mainly against Malone began at the signal of Dane.

The judge stood up, nodded slightly to Dane, who was sitting behind him, then cleared his throat, picked up the scroll in his hand, spread it out, and began to recite it.

"Marlon, Barn, Nathan, Inji......"

He first read out a series of names, all of whom were accused with their hands tied in the audience, all of whom were officers of all ranks. These captives were kept by Dane for this trial. There is nothing to judge for those big-headed soldiers, but these officers with some status are different. And in the midst of them. Of course, Malone is the most important.

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

After reading the names, the judge read out a list of charges.

"Can you plead guilty?"

Malone shrugged his head and said, "I confess, I repent......"

At this time, do you not admit your guilt?

Of course not.

In fact, earlier when Malone was still in prison, someone from Dane came to talk to him, mentioned this public trial, and revealed Dane's meaning: as long as he confessed his guilt, he would be let go in the end.

He had no choice, so he had to do it.

After confessing his guilt, Malone lowered his head, seemingly disillusioned, but prayed in his heart that Dane could really fulfill his promise.

Then, he was sentenced to death.

After hearing the judge pronounce the words 'death penalty', Ma Long's mood immediately collapsed. He struggled to get up from the ground, and he wanted to open his mouth and loudly declare Dane's vileness to all the inhabitants of Shawan Harbor who were watching the trial.

But before he could say a word, the two soldiers who had been standing behind him rushed up faster than him, pushed him to the ground, and gagged him with a rag. And the officers behind him, who were also sentenced to death, were also held back by the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time.

……

After the verdict was handed down, the criminal law was executed very quickly. On the morning of the next day, 10 gallows were placed in front of the north gate of Shawan Harbor, and 300 bound soldiers and officers were pressed to the court.

They lined up, and one by one they stood on the gallows, with ropes around their necks, tightened, and then pulled up, instantly cutting off their breath.

In the face of death, no one does not struggle. But the struggle didn't take even ten seconds, and the legs that were still bouncing calmed down one by one.

The executioners lowered the strangled men from the gallows, and then ten more marched up in line. Thirty times this was repeated, and more than 300 of the more than 300 men who had been enemies of Dane during the war a few days earlier, without exception, were all hanged.

The last one to take the stage was Ma Long.

The brutal execution was also held in public, and there were far more onlookers than at the previous day's trial. Even if today's weather is not as good as yesterday's, it can't stop people's enthusiasm. It seems that people want to see what happened to those high-ranking officers in the past and those soldiers who ran rampant and domineering when they had nothing to do.

Not to mention, there is also a big man like Ma Long, who has been famous in Shawan Port for more than ten years.

When Malone was hanged, it was supposed to be the climax of this execution, but at this time, it was silent, and even the wind stopped.

Everyone knows that from this moment on, kill the bay harbor...... No, it should be said that in the south of the whole of Hindlaire, times have changed. (To be continued.) )
