The nobles were all shocked.

They didn't expect this at all.

Of course, it's normal to not expect it, after all, who would have thought that tonight's invincible orc overlord would be beheaded. (This is the message lag, in fact, it ran away)

The Duke of Villefort said angrily: "Your Majesty! Even Your Majesty can't act so recklessly! Those letters must be authenticated by experts! ”

Bernal: "Then you'll have room to maneuver, right?" ”

He smiled and paced slowly around the Duke of Villefort, like an old farmer picking up cattle in a mule and horse market.

"No, no," he said as he walked, "I'm not going to give you room to operate, wait for Rhett to come back, change your clothes, and decide your life and death here today." ”

"But the laws of the Empire!"

"Law!" Bernal shouted, "If you want to mention the laws of the Empire, we will mention them." I have specifically checked the legal code, and the nobles who escape and surrender can be immediately punished with capital punishment! And now, our war with the orcs continues. Although we have killed the overlord, the orc army is still outside the city, which must belong to the battle! ”

Villefort trembled: "My clerk is resting in the servant's room next to him, and I want him to come at once!" ”

Bernal snapped his fingers: "Mr. Williams, let his clerk come over!" ”

Williams turned to his private captain and winked, and the captain turned away.

Moments later, the captain ushered in a middle-aged man with glasses. After seeing the baldness of the middle-aged man, a noble lady burst out laughing.

But at this moment, no one paid attention to Miss's little gaffe.

The clerk was puzzled and did not know what was happening. He cast an inquiring glance at the Duke of Villefort, apparently hoping that the Duke would give him a slight hint of the current situation.

The Duke was just about to speak, but Bernal said, "Your Excellency, may I ask if there is any provision in the Imperial Code that capital punishment can be imposed on those who escape?" ”

The clerk pushed his glasses: "Of course." How can we maintain the morale of the military without this? There is indeed such a provision in the Imperial Code. ”

The Duke of Villefort glared at him with the eyes of a murderous clerk.

Noticing the lord's expression, the clerk pushed his glasses again and said slowly, "Of course, the premise is that there is conclusive evidence, and this evidence must be unequivocal. ”

The Duke of Villefort was still glaring at him with the look in his eyes that wanted to kill the clerk.

So the bald middle-aged man sighed and said more clearly: "The conclusive evidence determines that this is a space that can be operated, Lord Lord." ”

The Duke of Villefort suddenly realized: "Oh yes! Conclusive proof! If it was just a letter seized by a smuggler from the orc camp, it would not be conclusive evidence! Right? ”

The last sentence he addressed to the nobles who were also sweating profusely. Immediately received a response: "Yes, yes! ”

"That's it! There must be an expert who has tested those letters! ”

Bernal was about to speak, but Rosalie said, "Father, I think the disciple of the greatest traveling mage in Glaria, the supreme wise man who saved the empire, the puzzle solver who solved the eternal puzzles of the empire, the savior of Kosania, and the solver of the Temple of Fetal Movement...... Uh, and the Lich's nemesis!

"I think the Archmage King with these titles can verify the authenticity of these letters!"

Someone among the nobles shouted contemptuously: "You even make up the title so reluctantly, and look at how many duplicate titles there are!" We don't recognize his identification! ”

Bernal: "I admit it. ”

As he spoke, he took out the sound transmission stone again: "Bai Ruide, make sure that the master comes back with you." ”

Brad: "No problem. I'll be there with the Master, along with the members of the Salvation Squad. ”

Bernal rejoiced: "It seems that there will be a foreign envoy to witness this scene!" ”

Rosalie reminded, "The Gentile envoys are now asleep. You know, father. ”

Benal's face did not change: "The salvation team is not only the envoy of Kosania. There are also envoys from the Elven Sewulin Forest Kingdom and the envoys of the Mountain Kingdom in the squad! There's even an envoy from the Drow Mistress! ”

Anyway, as long as it's a race other than humans, it's an envoy. Now it's not just after they save the world.

After Bernal finished speaking, the Duke of Villefort was furious: "Your Majesty! You've got it all figured out! If you do this, there will be a rebellion! ”

That's when Mr. Williams spoke: "Rebellion? Is it just what you nobles have left? The power of the Chamber of Commerce has long surpassed yours. Although you are still lords in the territory, and you can still mobilize levies, but that's all.

"The levies are not moving in the autumn, and they will harvest the wheat. It's already the summer solstice. ”

The dukes were silent.

Someone on the gentleman's side asked, "Dad, are we going to be beheaded?" ”

No one answered, not including his father.

Just then, the door opened again. This time, however, it wasn't the herald who came in, but Archmage Mel.

The Archmage was overjoyed and said, "Your Majesty! After watching the master's secret of cracking the tower and his spell, I now have the secret of the Nine Rings! I'm a Nine-Ring Mage now! Tomorrow the orcs attack, I'll make them look good! ”

Bernal looked at Mel: "Thank you for your hard work. I will treat you as an archmage of the Nine Rings in accordance with the laws of the Empire. ”

Mel was a little surprised: "That's it?" I can kill the orcs! ”

Rosalie: "It's over. ”

Mel: "What's over?" ”

"According to the tactics laid out by the Master," Bernal replied in place of his daughter, "we have just killed the Overlord of the Orcs. Although the orc army has not yet retreated, it can be considered that the war is over. ”

Mel looked at everyone blankly: "It's over?" The Nine Rings I just mastered, I don't have a chance to show it? ”

Bernal: "yes. But I think we might have another civil war to fight. ”

As he spoke, he looked defiantly at the Duke of Villefort.

But the Duke of Villefort said to Master Mel, "Master! Since you are a Master of the Nine Rings, please judge it! Your Majesty has found a smuggler and obtained some forged private communications from the orcs, and wants to use these forged evidence to execute us! ”

Mel: "Orcs don't do such a thing, and if you find a private communication from an orc, it must be true." You might as well say that it is a smuggler who forged and planted it! ”

The Duke of Villefort was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "Yes, it is the smugglers who forged and planted the smuggling!" ”

Mel: "Are you a fool for me?" That's what you wrote, right? Forget it, the master should come with him later, let him verify those believers, is it over? ”

Villefort said in a fit of rage: "The master also colluded with the dog-Your Majesty!" Obvious! ”

Bernal: "Do you think you call me the Dog Emperor in private and I don't know?" The Shadow Thieves know everything, they just want to find balance. After all, the empire is such a shit appearance, and there is nothing safer than balancing the forces of all sides.

"However, Bai Ruide was introduced by the leader of the Shadow Thieves, and they have been waiting for the moment of change for a long time."

Bernal paused and continued: "The empire is hard to return, and it is simply impossible to take strong medicine. Now I want to take the medicine that the master has brought us. ”

Rosalie asked suspiciously, "This is also his idea?" Right? He just wanted to finish the exam questions his teacher had given him. ”

Bernal said firmly: "I asked him about the future of the empire, and although he did not say it explicitly, he gave a hint!" This is the conclusion that the master came to when he contemplated the Mandate of Heaven! ”

Anyway, the king is not there, as long as he needs someone to endorse and press on him.

Mel suddenly realized: "The master is the darling of fate, reasonable. ”

Just then, the doors of the ballroom opened again.

This time it was Brad, Brad's team, and the Salvation Team who came in.

When the king came in, he sneezed several times in a row.

Wang: "What is it?" Why do I sneeze like this? ”

Rosalie laughed, "According to Monrovia, this is someone who is reading you to pieces." ”

The king shrugged.

Rosalie: "Welcome back. Can I hug you? ”

Wang: "Of course, come! ”

He opened his arms.

Rosalie trotted a few steps into his arms and gave him a strong hug.

Wang: "Wait a minute, why are you also hard?" Oh, whalebone. Overall, it's much better than compacted. ”

Rosalie looked puzzled.

And Brad walked towards the emperor with the dimensional bag held high.

His dimensional bag didn't look like the king's luxury at all, and he didn't have that strong magical aura, after all, the level difference between the two things was too much.

Bernal: "No need to come here. You don't have to show these guys the letter of fornication. Pour out the letter, pour it out on the ground, and let's see how many. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Brad said as he opened the dimensional bag and flipped it over.

As a result, all the private communications in the dimensional bag fell to the ground, forming a "hill" on the ground.

Bernal stepped forward and saw the one with the coat of arms of the Duke of Villefort on the clay. He picked it up and looked at it for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Orcs still use letter openers?" These letters are all well opened with a letter opener! ”

Wang: "Because the orc overlord is a half-orc, he has lived in the human world for more than ten years, and has been a slave in the gladiatorial arena, so he has learned a set of red tape for human beings. ”

Villefort said angrily: "Lies! How did the slaves of the gladiatorial arena learn the red tape of humans? ”

Wang: "How do I know?" Anyway, he learned it, and he even knew how to use honorifics, and the lingua franca had no accent at all. ”

Bernal: "Alright, we'll talk about that later. Master, we are now going to do something very important, one thing about the future of Monrovia. It can even be said that this event will be the dawn of Monrovia's rebirth. ”

Wang: "Oh, such a terrible thing? Let's proceed, we're not in a hurry to leave today anyway. It is not too late to wait for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow when the orc armies have broken up on their own. ”

Duke of Villefort: "Didn't you say that it was the Master's will?" Dog Emperor! ”

Bernal: "Come, the Duke of Villefort humiliated the Emperor in his face, and defied the royal family, and was given fifty lashes according to the law. Execute now! Williams, do you have the manpower here? ”

Williams: "My Chamber of Commerce offers everything you can think of. ”

Moments later, Williams' attendants entered the ballroom with whips, shelves to hold the tortured prisoners, and so on.

When he was tied to the rack, the Duke of Villefort let out a cry like killing a pig, and when the flogging officially began, the cry changed from killing a pig to throwing a live pig in boiling water.

With this background sound, Bernal began to read the contents of the private communication.

"Dear Orc Overlord, I've heard that your army is not plundering as usual, suggesting that your army is a very different army...... Hmph, when he pats the asss of the orc overlord, he is much more professional than patting my ass. ”

Wang: "He missed an adverbial phrase, 'a completely different army from the past.'" The duke is not highly educated. ”

Bernal laughed: "Yes! Such a person in Monrovia is actually a duke! Master, tell me, how can you manage Monrovia well with such worms? ”

Wang: "Not really. ”

Bernal put away the letter and handed it to the king: "Master, I ask you to verify the authenticity of this letter. ”

Wang: "There is no need to identify, the orc overlord himself said that there are many nobles who have fornicated with him, and this should be one of them." These letters are true! ”

Bernal waved his hand: "Did you hear it, the master has verified it, these letters are true!" No more caning! Duke of Villefort, death penalty! Deprive all titles! ”

The death penalty alone is not enough, and even if the duke himself is executed without depriving him of the title, his heir will inherit it.

Therefore, the title should be stripped before the death penalty, so that the heirs cannot inherit it.

The royal clerk had already prepared and completed the paperwork of stripping him of his title and brought it to the duke, who had just been removed from the caning rack.

Villefort shouted: "I don't press my mudra! ”

The private soldier of the Chamber of Commerce was not polite, and directly broke the duke's nose with a punch, and then pressed the back of the duke's head, and pressed his head on the paperwork with a snap.

The nosebleed mark is also a seal, and magic can confirm that it is the blood of the Duke of Villefort.

The royal clerk took the paperwork and looked at it and shouted, "Effective!" ”

Then the private soldiers of the Chamber of Commerce escorted the muddy Duke to the center of the ballroom, and crossed their spears around his neck.

The third privateer took the great axe used to split the door, and the Duke of Villefort's head rolled to the ground.

Bernal watched this scene with satisfaction, and casually handed Villefort's private correspondence to the secretary next to him for archiving, and at the same time instructed: "What about his son?" Kill together. ”

Ten seconds later, the head of the Grand Duke of Villefort rolled to the ground.

Bernal: "It's the same with my daughter. ”

After waiting for no one with the surname Villefort in the ballroom, the Emperor picked up the next letter.

The horrific execution continued until midnight, and all but two of the dukes in the upper echelons of the empire died on that night.

It is said that the remnant sun is like blood, but in fact, the morning sun can also be the color of blood.

Later generations will record this moment in the history books as follows: the appearance of the dawn heralded the rebirth of this ancient and decaying country, and a new page in the history of Monrovia.
