"Uncle Huang, I wonder what the outcome of your deliberations will be?" said Podo XIII when he summoned Prince Norton again, and asked him as soon as they met.

"Back to Your Majesty, after we discussed, we decided to uphold the original verdict. "Prince Norton faced Bodo XIII with composure, neither humble nor arrogant.

Podo XIII's face immediately changed, and he said unhappily: "Why, don't give the emperor any face?

"No, Your Majesty, only such a verdict can show your Majesty's benevolence even more. In the future, when Anne is released from prison, she will work even harder to contribute to the empire. ”

Hata XIII shouted in his heart: "The emperor does not need her to contribute to the empire. There are too many people who have contributed to the empire, there is no shortage of her, the emperor only needs her to die!"

Although he said this in his heart, Porto XIII did not come out and did not refute it, but asked, "Then when will you meet again?"

Prince Norton said, "Three days later." ”

"Uncle Huang, you go back first!" Prince Bodo waved his hand, and Prince Norton withdrew. When he returned, Prince Norton wondered very much: Could it be that His Majesty agreed with this verdict?

I think so, but he doesn't believe it. With his knowledge of Porto XIII, he knew that Pota XIII would not give up so lightly, and it was very likely that he had other plans.

The military tribunal was reconvened three days later.

This time, there were quite a few people sitting in the auditorium, all of whom rushed to hear the news. They were dressed in military uniforms, and the epaulettes were shining with the general's star. They are all bigwigs of various military districts, and many of them are looking at the face of Marshal Lucas. Marshal Lucas was also present.

On the judgment seat, the seven bigwigs of the military department are still sitting upright. In the dock, it was Anne in military uniform, although she was the defendant, she was still heroic.

At this time, a mountain call came: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

The crowd immediately stood up for the arrival of Porto XIII.

Many people are not surprised by the arrival of Bodo XIII. Last time, Porto XIII appeared on the screen, but this time he came in person, showing the importance he took to this trial.

Bodo XIII walked straight to the judgment seat and said to Prince Norton: "Uncle Huang, how about the emperor serving as the presiding judge today?"

"This—" Prince Norton was surprised.

I didn't expect that Porto XIII would have such a mention.

"What? Is this emperor not qualified? You must know that this emperor is the supreme commander of the empire, and he is naturally qualified to serve as the chief judge. Bodo XIII looked at him with a relaxed expression.

Prince Norton thought at the time that Bodo XIII would not give up, but he did not expect such a hand. In doing so, Bodo XIII ruthlessly defeated Prince Norton, and Prince Norton had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty is willing to serve as the presiding judge of this trial, and we naturally feel very honored. ”

Immediately, he gave up the presiding judge's seat in the middle.

Bowa XIII laughed and sat down with a loud voice.

Prince Norton said that they were in charge of the court-martial, because he was the presiding judge, and the six bigwigs of the military department were members of the court.

Seeing that Podo XIII was frowning, Prime Minister Gray asked him the reason for his distress. Bodo XIII was so fond of Gray that he told Gray that he wanted to intervene in the court-martial. Unexpectedly, Gray laughed when he heard this.

Seeing that Gray laughed instead of proposing a good idea, Bodo XIII couldn't help but say angrily: "Gray, what are you laughing at?

Gray said in horror: "Your Majesty xià forgive the sin." Isn't it true that you are the supreme commander of the empire and are fully qualified to serve as the presiding judge of a military court. When the time comes, you will tell Prince Norton that Prince Norton will definitely give you the presiding judge. ”

Bodo XIII suddenly realized: "Yes, the emperor has forgotten about jì, the emperor is the supreme commander of the empire, and the emperor is only the deputy commander." It's just that you are sure that Uncle Huang will give up the position of presiding judge to the emperor?"

Gray said seriously: "Your Majesty, he has to let it!"

Bodo XIII applauded: "Good one, you have to let it! Gray, you are very good, and you are the only one who the emperor trusts the most." ”

Gray was flattered, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty's love for Wechen, Wechen keep it in mind. ”

"Haha, it's up to you to see what Uncle Huang will do. Wild laughter rang out in the palace hall.

"It's really a villain!" Seeing the smug appearance of Hata XIII, Han Xue wanted to rush up and beat him violently, beating him into a pig's head.

Unexpectedly, when she came to the Bowa Empire, the anger of the three daughters became bigger and bigger, and she was obviously angered by Bowa XIII.

Poor Podo XIII did not know this.

Marshal Lucas became anxious when he saw that Bodo XIII had robbed Prince Norton of the presiding judge.

Now it's going to be hard.

However, Anne in the dock did not change her face, she had nothing to fear, it was a big deal.

I saw that Bodo XIII knocked on the gavel in his hand: "Silence, now the court is officially opened." The audience fell silent.

Next, Podo XIII asked: "Defendant Admiral Anne, you are being charged with poor command and causing the total annihilation of the Tenth Fleet. The Tenth Fleet was wiped out, but this is the case?"

Anne nodded, "Back to the judge, this is indeed the case." On the way to the Dauphin Star Domain to carry out the task of suppressing bandits, the 10th Fleet led by Anne was ambushed by the First Fleet of the Deran Empire, and unfortunately all the troops were wiped out, and Anne and some of the soldiers were lucky not to die. ”

"Well, since you admit it, then the Presiding Judge asks you what was the cause of the total destruction of the Tenth Fleet?" asked Podo XIII.

Anne said eloquently: "I do not think that the total destruction of the Tenth Fleet is a coincidence, nor do I think it was caused by my unfavorable command. The place where the First Fleet of the Deran Empire ambushed us turned out to be the best ambush point on our sailing route, and it would have been impossible to set up an ambush here if we had not known our sailing route in advance. This shows that our sailing route has been leaked, but our sailing route is top secret, and only a few people know about it, and these few people can be counted. ”

"Who knows the route?"

"The seven adults of the military department, I, of course, and your majesty. ”

Hata-XIII asked angrily, "Could it be that the presiding judge is also suspicious?" He was a little weak-hearted, but quickly calmed down, even if he guessed that the emperor did it, so what? Is there any evidence?

Anne shook her head and said, "Anne didn't say that. ”

"Hmph, General Anne, you said there was a traitor, but is there any evidence?" said Bodo XIII coldly.

Anne smiled bitterly: "This is just Anne's speculation, there is no evidence." "That's Anne's weakness.

"Jokes, without evidence, are just speculation, not necessarily true. The presiding judge believes that the theory of internal mole is false. There are too many coincidences in the world, perhaps the First Fleet of the Deran Empire happened to be on a mission near there, and discovered your Tenth Fleet in advance, so they set up an ambush there. If you don't find them in advance, that's your rereliction of duty. Why don't you send a probe to detect it? There is another possibility, even if you and the First Fleet of the Deland Empire suddenly meet, you will not be able to command the first fleet, and you will be completely wiped out. I wonder if the presiding judge's statement is reasonable?"

Anne really couldn't refute the words of Bodo XIII.

Hado XIII was unforgiving, and continued: "Also, the powerful existence zài you mentioned last time is simply a fantasy, do you believe that there are such powerful people who exist zài? Whether you believe it or not, I don't believe it anyway. Perhaps Annie, you have been captured by the Derean Empire, and you have defected to the enemy because you are afraid of death, which is why you returned to the empire on the Derean Empire warship. On these two grounds, judges, do you think she should be sentenced to death?"
