Heart of Empire Chapter 284: Times have changed

For Shawan Port, today is a rare good weather.

The clear sky itself is very comfortable to see, and what is even more comfortable is that the wind that usually hangs from the north and carries sand is very quiet today. On the contrary, there is a sea breeze blowing from the south, bringing a slight coolness.

This slight coolness is no different from a luxury enjoyment for the people in Shawan Port, which has already entered summer. There are only a handful of days when such comfortable weather can appear throughout the summer.

It seems that God is helping Dane.

The central square of Bay Harbor has always been the most prosperous area in the entire city. Although, in the past few days, this port city has just experienced a war, but in fact, Ma Long's military operation against the bay harbor did not break through the north gate at all from the outside, so it is naturally impossible to cause damage to the city. What a spoil.

As for the port guards attacking the North Gate from inside the city, the battle with Verina's troops on the streets outside the North Gate had a certain impact on some places around the North Gate. But the area around the North Gate is not considered a prosperous area, and the degree of damage is relatively average, so the impact is not too great.

Thus, after a war, apart from being a little frightened, the lives of the people in Shawan Harbor were not greatly affected.

It is also under such circumstances that people are still in a good mood, and they come to the central square to watch this public trial meeting.

What's more, the person being tried was Ma Long, the owner who once controlled Shawan Harbor.

The central square has been arranged as an open-air public court one day in advance. The jury on the trial bench was sitting in full swing, and the judge and clerk were all present. The only thing that is different from the trials that people have seen in the past is that although it seems that the authentic judge of Shawan Port will still be in charge of this trial, behind the judge, there is a three-member court. A seat was placed on a platform as high as a step and obviously more dignified.

Who will sit in this chair? Of course it was Dane!

The judge and jury are all here, as is Malone as the defendant, and more than 20 officers from Iron Spike Hill Legion, Marlon Legion, and Port Guard who are waiting to be tried, are all present, but the audience is still silent .

"Step, step, step..." There was a sound of kicking, and people looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a large group of heavily armed soldiers with shiny armor and a white coat outside. A neat team lined up and came to the scene mightily.

A road was involuntarily divided among the crowd - it's impossible not to separate, the shining sword stands here.

The well-trained soldiers stood in two rows, and then took two big steps in unison, leaving a passage.

So Dane, who arrived late, arrived at the scene on a strong white wolf surrounded by a large group of soldiers.

Give the reins of the warg to a soldier to pick him up. Wearing a pair of leather boots, a pair of leather trousers, and a simple shirt, Dane walked onto the chair reserved for him.

The seat is still comfortable, he nodded in satisfaction, then waved his hand, and said casually: "Let's get started."

Thus, a trial mainly aimed at Malone began under Dane's signal.

The judge stood up, nodded slightly to Dane who was sitting behind him, then cleared his throat, picked up the scroll in his hand, spread it out, and began to recite.

"Marlon, Barn, Nathan, Inge..."

He first read a lot of names in a row, all of them were defendants whose hands were tied off the court, and all of them were military officers at all levels. These captives were kept by Dane just for this trial. There is nothing to judge those big soldiers, but these officers with some status are different. And among them. Of course, Malone is the most important.

"Murder, incitement to war, sabotage..."

After reading the name, the judge read out a series of crimes.

"Can you plead guilty?"

Ma Long shook his head and said, "I plead guilty, I repent..."

At this time, do you not plead guilty?

Of course not.

In fact, when Malone was still in prison earlier, someone from Dane came to talk to him, mentioned this public trial, and revealed what Dane meant: as long as he pleaded guilty , will let him live in the end.

He had no choice but to do so.

After pleading guilty, Malone lowered his head, seemingly hopeless, but prayed in his heart that Dane could really fulfill his promise.

He was then sentenced to death.

After hearing the judge pronounce the word'death penalty', Malone's emotions immediately collapsed. He struggled to stand up from the ground, he wanted to open his mouth, and loudly declared Dane's despicableness to all the residents of Shawan Harbor who were watching the trial.

But before he could say a word, the two soldiers who had been standing behind him rushed up faster than him, knocked him to the ground, and stuffed his mouth with a rag . And the officers behind him who were also sentenced to death were also held down by the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time.

…

After the verdict, the criminal law was implemented very quickly. In the morning of the next day, ten gallows were placed in front of the north gate of Shawan Port, and three hundred bound soldiers and officers were put on the execution ground.

They lined up and stood on the gallows one by one. A rope was put around their necks, tightened, and then pulled up, cutting off their breath for an instant.

In the face of death ~IndoMTL.com~ no one will not struggle. But within ten seconds of this struggle, those still bouncing legs calmed down one by one.

The executioners put the guys whose necks were strangled from the gallows, and then another ten went up in a line. Repeated this thirty times, more than 300 people who had been enemies of Dane in the war a few days ago were all hanged without exception.

The last one to take the stage was Malone.

This cruel execution was also held in public, and there were many more people watching than the previous day's trial. Even if today's weather is not as good as yesterday's, it can't stop people's enthusiasm. It seemed that people wanted to see what happened to those high-ranking military officers and those soldiers who ran amuck without incident.

Don't tell me, there is also a big man like Ma Long who has been famous in Shawan Port for more than ten years.

When Ma Long was hanged, it should have been the climax of the execution, but at this moment, everything was silent, even the wind stopped.

Everyone knows that from this moment on, killing Bay Harbor... No, it should be said that the entire south of Schindler, the times have changed. (To be continued.)
