Chapter 104 Trial and Execution

After Anthony took his seat, he handed over the files sorted out from the city lord's mansion and the paper documents recording the confessions of the "mansion guards" to the [Supreme] "Grand Arbitrator" Randall.

Randall did not reach out to take it. A glimmer of bright gold flashed in his pupils, and he issued an "imperial decree":

"——【Review these documents】."

Landauer's voice seemed to carry some kind of overlapping echo. As he issued the "decree", another vague phantom appeared behind him.

The "phantom" had the same appearance and outline as Landauer, but the details were blurry and unrecognizable. The "phantom" leaned over and picked up the files and documents on the table, then retreated behind Landauer, stroked the pages and began to "review" them one by one.

"Decrees" and "spiritual body" are abilities unique to the Supreme.

"Well, once my spirit body has reviewed the documents, I will know how to convict Rodilf Walden."

As Randall spoke, he looked at Anthony at the same time: "So, is there anything you want to add from the Holy Court?"

"Lord Landor." Anthony nodded and said, "You know. This time, Rodif has caused us a lot of trouble."

"This is inevitable." Randall did not comment. "The Pure Order has also caused us a lot of trouble."

"I hope the Attorney General's Office can give some explanation and compensation for this." Anthony said calmly, "Also, I hope to see Rodif executed before we officially leave Red Maple City."

This time, Landauer was silent.

He frowned slightly and asked in a dissatisfied tone: "Anthony, are you teaching the 'Great Arbitrator' how to do things?"

"This is my authority." Anthony retorted at the right time, "Although we are not involved in the secular world, my authority is higher than yours in the 'supernatural' field."

"So, Randall." Anthony said in a low voice, "This is undoubtedly a 'supernormal event'. Given that we have provided complete evidence, my request is not excessive."

Randall's golden eyes stared straight into Anthony's eyes. Luo Xiu, who was "watching the battle" on the side, only felt that the atmosphere on the scene was tense.

Such disagreements are common among the Supreme and Glorious transcendents. Luo Xiu glanced at Connor and Pamier, who had expressionless faces beside him. They were already accustomed to such scenes.

……

The "confrontation" on the table continued until Landauer's "spiritual body" finished reviewing the documents.

The vague figure gently placed the documents back on the table, then bowed slightly to Randall and said:
"——No problem, my Lord. This is a very detailed file that can indeed prove all the charges against Rodiful Walden."

After hearing Randall's "spiritual body" make such a judgment, Luo Xiu could feel that the tension that was originally in Anthony's body finally relaxed.

After listening to the report of the "spiritual body", Landauer immediately crossed his hands and issued a new "command" to his spiritual body:
“——【Back】.”

Randall's spirit body then bowed slightly, then retreated and disappeared into a dark stream of light.

"Okay." Randall finally said, "Anthony, your request is reasonable. On behalf of the Attorney General's Office, I accept your request."

……

The trial of "Rodif Walden" was announced the day after this meeting.

On this day, almost all the citizens of Red Maple City who were of middle class and above were gathered in the largest square.

In front of the crowd of citizens was a magnificent temporary platform and a large fixed gallows.

The Supreme Arbitrator, Randall, was standing on the platform with his hands behind his back, looking down at the crowd moving below.

The people were whispering, they didn't know what was going on at this time.

Although "Lord of Rodif" has been missing for nearly a week, Rodif, who was used to being a figurehead, has not had any negative impact on the normal operation of the city due to his disappearance.

On the contrary, ever since the disappearance of "Lord of Rodif", people have been surprised that the Lord's mansion did not send anyone to collect various taxes!

This is the first time that the general public has seen this.

People's curious eyes turned to the platform in front of them, focusing on the "big man" standing at the top, dressed in gorgeous aristocratic robes.

“——【Everyone Silence】!”

The invisible pressure spread outward rapidly with Randall as the origin.

This was a collective decree from the Supreme Being. The people at the scene immediately felt a tremor, and their mouths, which were originally chattering, seemed to be zipped up in an instant. The whole place suddenly fell silent, and the people began to stare at each other.

At this time, they have gradually understood who the "big shot" on the platform is.

——That is the real 'ruling class' of the Nolan Empire!
——The Supreme Ones! The rulers who control the power of "domination" over the entire empire!

Normally, these ordinary people would never have the chance to see such a big shot. Although they were forced to remain silent at this time, their eyes revealed unprecedented enthusiasm.

"Now, I will make an important announcement—"

Randall then spoke. His voice was not loud, but with his extraordinary power, everyone present could hear it clearly.

"——'Lodiful Walden', the former Lord of Red Maple City, has been found guilty of seventeen serious crimes including 'highest crime of treason', 'highest crime of blasphemy', and 'highest crime of corruption'."

"——Now, in the name of the Supreme, I formally dismiss him from his position as Lord of Red Maple City, deprive him of all political rights, and sentence him to death by hanging, to be executed immediately."

As Landauer's words came out, he also lifted the "group silence" command spell.

The next moment, the crowd suddenly boiled over!
"——What? Rodif is collaborating with the enemy? Execute immediately...hang him?"

"——This is too sudden! Old Peter, did you hear that?"

"——That's good! That fat pig should have died long ago!"

"——Huh? What? What happened?..."

"——Fried fish sticks with melon seeds and peanuts, if needed..."

"——No wonder I was wondering why the guards of those mansions didn't come to collect taxes from me..."

"——Lodifu is going to be hanged? Then...what about Red Maple City? What should we do?"

"——..."

The civilians were suddenly shocked by this explosive news and were at a loss.

And under the gaze of everyone, behind the platform.

A fat naked body, stripped of all clothes, was dragged onto the platform by the guards.

That is the Lord of Rodif!

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Rodif's naked body.

"——He, he is actually... a corrupt person!"

"——Mom, Mom you..."

"——Children can't watch this, they can't watch this!"

"—Hang him! Hang him!"

"——..."

The atmosphere of the crowd reached a climax in an instant.

The guards carried Rodif to the bottom of the gallows and put a noose around his fat neck.

At this time, Rodif had lost his mind. His body was trembling slightly and he was unconscious of what was happening.

But this did not prevent the people from showing unprecedented enthusiasm and excitement about the impending hanging of Rodif.

People waved their arms in anger and denounced and cursed. This was the cheapest justice that ordinary people could do.

After confirming that the rope around Rodif's neck was secure, the guards raised their axes and cut the rope pulling him from behind.

——Sizzle! Rodif’s fat body was suddenly lifted high up. He kicked his feet a few times in the air and then stopped moving.

Rodif Walden, the biggest cancer in Red Maple City, was officially killed.
