Chapter 407: Hanging (2)
"Knock! knock! knock!"
"Woo~~~~"
Huge drums and trumpets rang out throughout the Imperial City of Dourojar!
Many people in the imperial city continued to gather towards the Order Judgment Square.
It's been a long time since the sound of drums and trumpets has been heard in the royal city of Dourogall, and every time these two sounds sound at the same time, it means that something very important is about to happen, and usually it will be a trial.
The well-dressed and heavily armed Imperial troops on the official road slowly gathered towards the Order Judgment Square, and soldiers continued to stop and begin to maintain order.
The crowd grew, and a lot of news began to spread among the crowd.
"Did you hear that? It was a knight stationed at the border who killed four innocent civilians. ”
"A knight would do such a thing!"
The wives and daughters of the four commoners cried to the knight's court, and then they sent someone to the border to investigate the matter, and the knight confessed to the crime he had committed. ”
"It's a terrible thing. ”
Four families were ruined in his hands. ”
"I've also heard that this knight is the apprentice of the evil mage. ”
"The apprentice of the evil mage who cast the spell of the Last Judgment!"
"It's really horrible......"
More and more information was spreading in the crowd, and there were voices of discussion everywhere, and there was a lot of swear and slang.
"Uncle Egg is not such a person, Uncle Egg is not such a person......" Listening to all kinds of voices, Vivien, who was following behind Viscount Orin, was already in tears, and kept whispering.
Orin's face was pale and weak, his stomach throbbed with bouts, he had drunk too much in the past few days, and he had barely eaten much, he looked silently at the lonely gallows in the center of the Judgment Square.
Soon, the flow of people converged into the Judgment Square, and Oswald stood on the regional platform of the knight's court, silently looking at the gallows in the center of the square, his eyes full of complexity.
He had a lot of regrets about his waiting for Egger to be in the Imperial City of Durogar, and the more he got to know Egger, the more he realized that this knight was a true and upright knight, but unfortunately fate played a big joke on him.
After the mage of Maple Leaf Manor cast the spell of the Doomsday Judgment, the problems and hatred left behind were far more terrifying than he imagined, and the power that erupted this time caught everyone off guard.
Viscount Orin, the lord of Carouston City, approached him several times, but it was not something he could decide on his own.
The forces in the empire are intricate, and all kinds of forces are pushing things with a lot of hatred and fear, and it is difficult for even the great majesty of the Alessandrite Empire to change the common choice made by the parliament and the knightly court.
"Sometimes, death is the easiest thing to do. Oswald said slowly to a familiar knight beside him.
His words didn't resonate, and the knight chief looked at him and shook his head slightly, "Death? maybe." ”
"Woo~~!" the horn sounded again, this time with a long and long whistle, which meant silence.
The originally noisy crowd quieted down little by little.
In the mighty battle, the dense sound of horses' hooves and footsteps mixed into a majesty, and entered the Judgment Square of Order.
The carriage convoy representing the royal family drove to the Place of the Inquisition, the symbol of the supreme power of the Alexandrite Empire, and the king and queen were seated with a group of important councillors on the platform of the area representing the royal family.
This was followed by a convoy of chariots of the Church, which entered the Place of Inquisition, in the midst of a large number of monks and priests, and the Pope and a group of archbishops arrived in the Church area.
The square erupted in cheers as the great Aristrit Empire was celebrated.
After a long time, another cacophony began to sound, and the prison cart where Iger was being held began to enter.
The crowd cursed angrily along the way, throwing all kinds of things in their hands, and many stones smashed on Egg's head, and when the prisoner car stopped, Egger on the car was already covered with blood.
When Vivien in the distance saw this scene, she immediately burst into tears, crying loudly, and it was difficult to accept that the person covered in blood was the Knight Egger who loved her the most, and hugged her father Orin tightly and cried non-stop.
Egger slowly stepped out of the prisoner's cart, his bloodshot eyes looking around the entire Order Judgment Square, his gaze over the civilians, over the officials, over the royal family, over the church, over everything, and finally landed on the central gallows.
Looking at the high gallows, Egg followed the executioner step by step towards the place where his life would end.
Every step was thought to be the approach of death.
Egger's ears were buzzing all over his body, his eyes seemed to be red because of blood, and the gallows was stained with blood.
My life is constantly fast-forwarding in my head little by little.
"Resentment?" he said to the Knight Chief Oswald again.
Confused, he asked himself over and over again, "Is it resentful, is it resentful?"
If you want to resign, you can only blame the rotten humanity of this empire, resent these fallen nobles, and resented the parliament and the knightly court for turning a blind eye to the truth. I resented that I didn't die in the city of Carroston, that I didn't die on those steel arrows, and that if I had died, I would have been at least a hero, and I wouldn't have faced a bloody gallows like I do now.
A hand behind him nudged Egger and motioned for him to move forward.
He turned around slowly, looking at the knight master of this hand, a knight's helmet that was somewhat familiar and unfamiliar, and through the visor, Iger seemed to see the knight's cold eyes in the visor.
He slowly raised his feet and continued along the road, and walked towards the gallows step by step.
Faintly, he seemed to hear a loud voice, speaking to the crowd in the Judgment Square.
Iger heard that it was a trial, a trial of a man who had violated the rules of chivalry, wantonly slaughtered civilians, insulted knighthood, betrayed the trust of the Empire, and plunged four families into misery and despair.
In a trance, he stepped on the stairs one step after another, and the light of the scorching sun in the sky was so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes.
Several cold hands grabbed his shoulders, and a rope was wrapped around his neck, a little tight, and he had some difficulty breathing.
It didn't take long for his feet to suddenly empty, and his whole body fell.
Before finally falling into darkness, he seemed to hear Vivien crying.
