Chapter 400: Judgment (Secondary 2)

It wasn't until an hour after Ferding had been fixed in a huge chair that someone from the courtroom came up.

The courtroom was very simple, in the middle was where the convict sit, that is, where Ferdin, sit, and not far in front of Ferdin, there was a huge platform with four very ornate chairs, and in the middle of the table, there was a large chanting platform, where the judge would conduct the trial. There are seven flags around the platform, the "L" flag in the middle is the flag of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and on both sides are the flags of the original seven countries of the Alliance, although Fort Riptide and Gilneth have withdrawn from the Alliance, they still have the support of the Light, so in the Trial of the Light, their flags and their representatives will appear.

The longer he sat and waited, the more nervous he became. Especially his own colleagues, who were watching his trial, could not allow himself to turn to look at the accusatory expressions of his comrades, and he could hear the voices of hundreds of people whispering or muttering to themselves as they passed through the grand room. Through the noise, he knew that everyone present was surprised to hear that he had betrayed them. Many of these bystanders served under his command during the war, and many others he regarded as close friends. He could feel their shared confusion and contempt and ridicule coming at him in waves. His judgment will not be taken lightly.

In the midst of these voices, Fordin heard the familiar voice of Bathras, why did the paladin under his command attack him like this? After a while, a paladin came to the front of the stage, everyone fell silent, and the paladin shouted his words in a loud voice.

"Guardians of Azeroth, today, we are going to be a true Judgment Judgment, and one of us, Lord of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Tirio Verdin, is the beginning now!"

Hearing this, Fordin's palms were a little sweaty, because after these words were finished, four jurors would enter the hall, and in a major trial of this level, the church and the alliance would generally appoint four high-ranking paladins or alliance lords to participate, and there would be comrades who were close to him as brothers. When the first jury entered, the onlookers sitting behind Fording exclaimed.

"All salute Lord Daelin Prodmore of Kurtiras!" said the paladin on the platform, and the tall and thin figure had already crossed the platform and sat on the chair of the throne on the far right, with an unhappy expression on his face, and he didn't know why. Fordin knew the king of Kul Tiras, and although they had never fought side by side, he had long heard of the name of his strategic genius and great hero.

Then the paladin spoke again: "All salute Antonidas, the chief archmage of the Magic Kingdom Dalaran!"

A silence enveloped the Inquisition, and Antonidas strode in and sat down in a gold-and-black trimmed hooded robe the color of purple lavender, his long, shiny staff tapping lightly on the ground as a gesture. Ferdin's eyes were a little worried, in the past few years, the relationship between the church and Dalaran has been very poor, and the two sides will not trust, why would such a person come out at this time, fate is in the hands of a wizard, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

He looked at the paladin, waiting for the last two to appear.

"All of you salute Richard, Lord of Kozan, leader of the Azeroth Chamber of Commerce, and president of the Explorers Guild!" Next up is Richard, and the various business groups of Kozan such as Gazruvi Construction Company and Kozan Airlines have now been merged into the Azeroth Chamber of Commerce, and their business scope covers almost all industries. It's already the largest and strongest Chamber of Commerce in all of Azeroth. Richard, sitting in the middle right to the right, next to Antonidas, glanced at Fordin, and said nothing. Fording breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and finally a person he knew, Richard was a witness to the first batch of paladins.

Richard was followed by Arthas, the new paladin's representative of Lordaeron, and Fording was not very impressed with the prince, but he could see that the handsome young man exuded kindness and wisdom, which was not easy for his age.

The jurors gathered, and the paladin motioned for everyone to stand for the Inquisitor's entrance. All men and women present stood up as the Lightbringer of Uther entered the hall and walked onto the ornately decorated chanting platform. The mighty, holy priest and master of the Knights of the Silver Hand, scanned the participants with the eyes the color of the storm of the sea, with a determined and unwavering look. His ornately etched silver armor seemed to reflect every light source in the vast hall—bathing Uther in a beautiful halo of shimmering light. Uther was the first paladin and was considered the strongest warrior in the Alliance's army. He is also considered to be the wisest and noblest of all the holy paladins. Everyone in the room was amazed by his majestic demeanor.

Fordin's will suddenly wavered, no matter who came out, he insisted on telling the truth and accepting his fate calmly, but under the stern gaze of Uther's holy light, her courage was somewhat shaken. Perhaps he should be like Dathohan and Arton had said? Before he could think about it, his thoughts were interrupted by Uther.

"Paladin Fortin. You have been charged with collaborating with the Alliance, and you have refused to obey direct orders from your superiors. As you know, this is a martial law sufficient to impose a death sentence. These noble lords have gathered here to hear your case and accordingly, to judge you in the light. How do you defend against the charges against you?"

"I plead guilty to the charges against me, my lord. I take full responsibility for my actions. ”

Uther's face froze suddenly, and in an instant it returned to normal. At the same time, the cacophony of the angry knights sitting behind Uther filled the room. They were shocked that Ferding confessed so bluntly.

"Very good......," Uther's voice came out of his throat, like a thundercloud rumbling before a storm, ready to shoot lightning at any moment. Fording could directly feel the suffocation sensation in the air filled with electricity, and he could only barely hold himself.

Uther continued calmly, "Very well, please note that the Paladin Lord Ferding has filed a guilty plea......"
