"My lord, right here?"

Although the person in charge of the execution was a strong man who had been engaged in this kind of cruel work for a long time, his legs were still trembling in the face of the psionic knight, and he hesitated to ask Delia.

"Hmm!" Delia nodded tiredly.

The executioner tightened his grip on the whip in his hand, barely able to stand under the angry glares of the knights in front of him.

The situation was stalemate for a moment, but in the end, the knights who had just confessed their sins still gave in, and it was not only who let out a helpless sigh first, and then moved to untie the armor they were wearing on their upper bodies, revealing the unprotected flesh underneath.

Someone took the lead, and soon several knights, accused of seriously killing and injuring their own warriors in battle, disarmed themselves, walked to the center of the hall, and half-knelt down towards Deria, who was sitting at the top.

"My lord, I know that I am wrong, please punish me!"

In front of the commander who won consecutive battles and was full of authority, the knights lowered their proud heads and knelt in a row waiting for the executioner behind them.

"Do you really know what is wrong?" Delia asked, her eyes fixed on the eyes of the sinner in front of her, and she looked up at all the knights present as she received a sincere answer.

Some people were unimpressed by her actions, and some people were even indignant in their hearts, but at this moment, no one dared to look directly into Di Liya's scrutinizing gaze, and the psionics collectively lost their voices, acquiescing in the righteousness of this action.

Just when everyone was feeling aggrieved, thinking that Delia was about to signal the execution to begin, their female commander spoke.

"Well, I'm glad that I'm not a bunch of ruffians. Relying on his powerful force to do whatever he wants, he doesn't know the way of knighthood. You have the courage to admit your mistakes and are willing to take responsibility for your actions. That's good!"

Howard raised his lowered head, looked at Delia with some delight, and said to himself, "Is this a test?

"But military discipline must not be disordered, and flogging must be carried out, what do you think?"

Di Liya's words made the hope that had just risen in the hearts of the onlookers fall to the bottom again, and the few people in front of her were expressionless, since they had already stood up, they were open in their hearts. I didn't think that I would be spared today, so they all replied in unison: "Yes." ”

"Very well, punishment cannot be avoided, and at the same time the credit cannot be ignored, a few of you killed your comrades by mistake yesterday, but you were also very brave in battle, and captured several enemies of Ingier, so I hereby declare that your punishment today will be borne by others!" said Deria, tapping the scepter in her hand, indicating that what she had just said was the final order.

However, this statement confused everyone. Even Ed, who had been watching the changes and was not involved, didn't see the slightest clue.

Several knights who were half-kneeling were confused, and the psionics next to them were also puzzled, and some of them were clever and guessed in their hearts: "Do you want to find someone to replace you?"

The hall was full of discussion. Immediately, everyone was stunned, and Delia, who had been high in the sky, suddenly turned around and put down the shepherd's cane in her hand after giving the order, and took off her gorgeous robe, which represented her noble status. Revealing his close-fitting suit, he walked down the steps.

"Get to the bottom of it. You killed the soldiers by mistake to save me, and all the soldiers who died yesterday were also unfortunate because of the unfavorable command of my commander-in-chief. Therefore, I will take the punishment in my place!" she walked up to the executioner, turned her back, and motioned for her to act.

The executioner, who had a fierce face and a heavy bloody smell on his body, lost his usual majesty towards prisoners, swallowed and smeared in his throat, waved his hand again and again, and muttered in his mouth: "How can this work?

The knights around Di Liya who were waiting for the execution were stunned and couldn't say a word, but someone next to them let out a loud scream.

"How is this possible, my lord, go back quickly!" Howard hurriedly rushed up and was about to reach out to help Delia, but before his giant hand could touch the latter's body, the white light of the star spirit power flickered to block his movement.

"Stand down, it's my order, Lord Howard!" said Delia coldly, but she didn't mean to turn back.

Howard, who was stopped by drinking, still wanted to stop it, but he had no choice but to completely take the crystal wall of Delia's body, the spiritual energy in his hand could not penetrate the barrier of energy at all, and he didn't dare to use force, for fear of hurting the other party, but he couldn't just retreat, seeing his commander injured in front of him, sweat was pouring down on his head for a while.

He didn't think to ask for help from others, but Ed over there couldn't stand it either, regardless of Delia's repeated admonitions to him before, the young man jumped up from his seat and raised his steps to walk towards his companion, and at the same time, the words of persuasion had already reached the tip of his tongue.

"Go back!" Delia's telepathic voice reminded Eddard as the power of the astral spirit once again poured into Ed's body from the psychic link between them in an unknown mysterious way, instantly frosing his body so that he couldn't even speak.

"I have said before, I am the commander of an army, all the responsibility of the battle will be borne by me, your mission is to follow my orders to carry out, do not worry about the rest, now is the time for me to fulfill my promise. Remember, the glory belongs to you, and the evil is mine!" Deria looked at everyone around her, and after explaining, she said to the executioner behind her:

"Do it!"

Forced by the power of the person in front of him, the strong man with the long whip trembled and lifted the torture instrument that had been stained with the blood and pain of the prisoner, and raised it into the air but inadvertently glanced at Ed who was in front of him.

The young man's eyes were full of murderous intent and infinite malice, and the executioner seemed to see in it the picture of him being cramped and skinned by the other party as long as he dared to do it, and he was abused to death, and his hand held in the air could not be put down for a long time.

"Huh?" There was no movement behind him for a moment, Di Liya frowned, and the corners of her mouth gently spat out a questioning syllable, but it was like a wake-up call in the ears of the executioner, and her whole body did not listen to control, and her thick arms immediately lost their strength to support and fell.

"Smack!"

In the great astonishment of everyone, the long whip swung with the fall of its master's palm, and the end part was whipped on Delia's back, the thin autumn coat was torn in an instant, and the barb on the whip tore the delicate skin mercilessly, leaving a long and narrow wound with open skin.

"How dare you?" Eddard, whose eyes were about to split, broke through Deria's energy blockade of himself, roared wildly, and shook the executioner to the ground, raising his hand and instantly pulling out the Rose Spear as if he had thrown it over. (To be continued......)
