In the courtroom, Courter cleared his throat with a big smile on his disc-like face. "Humor me, then, Lieutenant, how long would it take for you to dock and return to General Fazzani's flagship, the Taunting Destiny?" He asked, turning to Major Schiller, and explained, "I also have the exact time when Fotian was from the time he captured the ship, from the time he stopped and turned around, to the time when he finally accepted the protection of the flagship's shield, and this has also been verified and confirmed by experts. ”

"But I'm still against it." Major Schiller frowned. "All this is meaningless, even if you prove the possible danger of the ship's return, it does not change the fact that Colonel O'Grady disobeyed military orders! If it weren't for General Fazzani's witty dispatch of the Flounder to forcibly seize the spaceship, and you verified that kind of ending just now, then there would be no trial today, but an additional 7,000 graves of the colonists of the Silver Alliance out of thin air! ”

"I admit that the latter is entirely possible." Courtt smiled. "But the judgment...... There will still be, but it won't be the dead O'Grady, but someone else, right? ”

He's talking about me, he's talking about me...... Fazani in the auditorium smiled bitterly in his heart at this time. Courter is really amazing, going around and beating a rake. He looked at Petowski and saw that the major was hanging his head and the brim of his hat pressed against his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

"What a good ship commander has to do is to avoid the destruction of himself and his crew under the most necessary premise, and at the same time be able to lead them to escape from the ascension, such talents are rare even in the Silver Alliance Navy." Courter walked to the jury at this time, he gently combed his fluffy yellow hair with his hand, looked at the nine jurors quietly, and said to them: "Fortunately, Major O'Grady does not have that talent, he is only one of many dutiful ordinary ship commanders, and all they can do is to try to avoid the destruction of the former, and most of the latter's miracles or luck have a bad record." Court looked at the auditorium, and Fazzani saw that he was glancing at him, and a chill ran through him.

"17.5 standard points!" Courtt said loudly. "Yes, this proves that if Colonel O'Grady had decided to return at that time in strict obedience to orders, at least at his level, the "Offa. The Ward and the 7,000 citizens of the Silver Alliance on board will not escape the fate of destruction! He was handing out the notes from the clipboard.

"Colonel O'Grady's judgment proved to be correct, and the charges he faced against him for violating military orders were somewhat unfounded...... I mean, compared with 7,000 lives, which is more important and which is lighter on the scale of military discipline? It's really not something that I, a civilian, can speculate. He gestured in surrender.

"Maybe military discipline really represents everything in the great system of our Silver Alliance Navy, but from my thirty years of experience in the legal profession, every law we administer is nothing more than human ......."

"Nonsense." Major Schiller shook his head. "As part of a whole plan of action, it is not his job to look at the overall situation, the colonel ignored the orders of his superiors, first opened fire to expose the entire camouflage plan, and refused to stop the ship, causing the death of a crew member of the ship, his behavior this time is simply a disgrace to the Silver Alliance Navy, and you are actually talking about doing your duty!" The prosecutor's rhetoric began to become intense, and he turned to look at Hepburn, who was sitting with a smile in the defense bench. O'Grady mocked: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and if you do not obey the restraints, you can use your mother's connections to get a high position in the Minotaur, instead of using her money to exonerate yourself!" Am I right, Colonel? I mean...... Lord Lord? ”

Adrian. Schiller looked at his sarcastic object with disdain, and O'Grady made eye contact with him, always maintaining a good demeanor, and he still smiled, but his pursed lips were slightly twisted.

"Against!" Jolien. Courter laughed and shook his head, as if he was sorry for Schiller's gaffe.

"The opposition is valid!" Judge Padden immediately ruled. "The prosecution must be careful about its words and actions......"

Major Schiller sighed and bowed slightly to the defense bench. "I'm sorry......" he said.

"Accept your apology...... And fully understood. Court's quick voice said for O'Grady.

"As the Honorable Prosecutor has demonstrated, as a professional soldier, you must hate the phenomenon of violating your duty, which is a deep-rooted prejudice and a normal human nature." He folded his fingers on his chest and smiled in the direction of the jury: "By extension, this brings us to the next question, which is still about prejudice, but it may explain everything." ”

"You must have wondered, what might be the reason why Colonel O'Grady had disobeyed such a clear order, other than the correct judgment of danger? There must be some other reason! He glanced at the nine jurors.

“…… Why? I mean, in that extreme situation, why not trust the decisions of your own commanders? Since General Fazani has thought of using the overloaded shield of the function ship to protect the Arcane. Ward", then before the return of the carrier ship encounters an urgent crisis, it will naturally have the same judgment...... But why? Why did he risk such serious consequences, knowing that he would be sent to the Military Discipline Court...... You see he's already sitting here, with a smirk on his face, but he's not going to give up, he's not going to give up...... Full of grievances. Courter pointed to O'Grady behind the defense bench, whose smile was gradually tapered by what he said, and he looked at the judge and his savior in disbelief, and finally sighed, lowered his head, and gave up his military posture as he tried to maintain.

"I'm going to call a witness, and maybe he can explain everything to you." Jolien. Courter turned to the judge, and after receiving permission, he nodded to the courtier, who was dressed in black uniform.

"Call the defense witnesses, Alexander. Mr. Cooper. ”

Fazani was shocked when he heard Cooper's name, and he looked in surprise at the guy who had strode in from the side door of the military discipline court in front of him, who had been his direct superior. Cooper, on the other hand, walked into the witness stand meticulously.
