Chapter 386 It becomes more and more of a mystery
The "Enemy Protection Act" passed in 513 years of the Huoyao Calendar undoubtedly had a profound impact on the world. Many historians of later generations speculate that without this act, the entire historical process might have been different, and many magnificent events would have occurred.
Neither will happen.
When it comes to the "Enemy Protection Act", one has to mention one person, the "Ninth Princess" of the royal family, Solandel Van Dogulland.
Regarding the passage of the bill, later historians often hold two attitudes.
One attitude is that the passage of the bill is inevitable. Perseus has actually thought about it for a long time, but he just lacks a suitable opportunity to bring it forward, and his daughter Solandel just provided this opportunity.
Another attitude is that Perseus was very hesitant at the time and had no idea how to deal with the matter. He woke up under Solandel's impassioned speech and began to advance this far-reaching project step by step.
bill.
Regarding this issue, the advocates of the two views have always been arguing, and no one can convince the other. After all, Perseus has never announced his mental journey to the public.
But one thing cannot be denied - the Ninth Princess became the Dusk Death God.
Without Solandel's speech at the third meeting, it is completely unknown whether Kino could have escaped this fate under the imprisonment plan formulated by the king's leaders.
Perhaps, Perseus will still make the same decision, overcoming all objections to formulate the "Enemy Defense Act", establish the Death Army, and hand it over to Kino to lead it.
Or maybe, the "Enemy Defense Act" and the Death Legion will still come out, but the general will become another person, and Kino can only live on an isolated island in the Sea of Broken Moon.
There are no ifs in history, the dust has settled, Solandel left Kino's name in history, and also carved a strong mark for herself.
...
Fall 15th, half a month after the "Defense Against Enemies Act" was promulgated.
The evening in the royal city was shrouded in orange-red, and the rising darkness from the sky had begun to try to saturate the sky. Although it was still unable to compete with the twilight of the night, as time went by, the sky turned to night which was already a destined result. At this time, the red and
The collision of black is more like a futile war.
Kino, who had fallen into a trough not long ago, was reborn from the ashes with the help of Solandel and climbed to a position that was previously unreachable. Not only did he gain a privileged position in the kingdom, but he also had his own death squad, which can be called a phoenix.
Nirvana.
But compared to Kino, the other person seemed extremely miserable.
The once high-ranking scion of the royal family is arrogant and arrogant. He is served by servants when he wakes up, and beautiful women attend him when he sleeps. He has endless money in his pocket, endless delicacies on the table, and holds the fate of a city in his hands.
As a war hero, his father paved the way, and with Wang Lingpao Ze as his backing, it was only a matter of time before he rose to prominence.
However, going from heaven to hell is just a thought. When Glaber Troy was involved in the assassination of Prince Bolton and stood in the wrong position, his tragic ending was already doomed.
In the square in front of the palace, there are many laurel flags symbolizing the royal family, fluttering in the cold wind at night during the fall season, bringing a strong sense of solemnity in autumn.
Ministers at all levels of the royal family, provincial governors, eight-level officials from the six provinces, and the powerful royal nobles gathered here, waiting for the final judgment.
On the stage, the king's blood relatives were seated one by one, with Perseus sitting on the main seat, holding Solandelle in his arms, and Bolton and Andre sitting on the left and right hands respectively.
Solandel's eyes held the unique pity of a little girl, but they were very decisive and did not contain any sympathy.
Burton, with a sneer on his face, touched the healed gunshot scar on his shoulder from time to time, looking like he was looking at a corpse.
Andre was not involved in the assassination, and his expression was relatively businesslike. He just sighed and felt sorry.
The three of them all looked at the audience, and the person they were looking at was none other than Graber Troy.
At this time, Grabo could hardly be described as a "bloody man". After he was brought from Thunder Cloud City to the palace, there was no doubt that he was tortured extremely cruelly.
The results of torture were beyond everyone's imagination. The most elite executioners in the kingdom took turns to fight. During this period, he was force-fed and watered to maintain his life. The best ointments were used to help him recover from his injuries, and the best doctors were invited to monitor him.
condition to ensure that he would not die easily from torture.
Flesh and blood are being peeled off every day, and new flesh is growing every day...reborn, this word with an original positive meaning is vividly embodied in Grabo with the completely opposite meaning.
However, from the Season of Fire to the Falling Season, the executioners tortured him for two full months, but they were unable to pry Glaber's mouth open. He didn't say a word about the person behind the assassination of Prince Bolton.
In the last period of time, even Chino did it himself. 336 hours of slow processing was actually managed by Grabo.
This playboy's tenacity is beyond everyone's imagination. In an extremely twisted way, he reveals to others his power that has been ignored all this time.
Slow processing is God's scalpel. There is no secret to hide, but like other execution methods, it takes time.
If Chino is given enough time, it will be a matter of time for Grabo to speak. At least after 336 hours of slow processing, Grabo's defenses have already shown signs of loosening.
However, human vitality is limited. The previous methods of the palace executioners were too rough. They always used thunderous methods without considering the durability, which greatly consumed Grabo's body potential and made his vitality exhausted.
, later on, no matter how good the ointment was and how exquisite the medical skills were, the withered body could no longer grow blood and flesh, and even the beard and hair had faded and turned gray, making it difficult to maintain life.
Even God's scalpel cannot pry open the mouth of a dying person.
In desperation, Perseus could only squeeze out the last value of Glaber - to execute him publicly, to deprive the king's heir of his life in front of everyone, and to maintain the unshakable dignity of the royal family.
At this time, the powerful members of the Trojan family, including the leader Edward, were kneeling on all sides of the square. Glabo's rebellion may not be directly related to them, but since they are of the same clan, they will inevitably not escape liquidation under the joint sitting system.
Edward Troy was deprived of the position of "Governor" of the Beacon Province and entered a two-year probation period. During the probation period, all benefits were cancelled. The governor's power was temporarily handed over to the "Provincial Consul" Lysakhar Delin Regg.
Nome received it on behalf of him.
None of the remaining members of the Trojan family could escape this disaster. They were all punished, suspended from office, demoted from office, exiled from home... The political status of the Trojan family in Doguland suffered a fatal blow.
Grabo's direct blood relatives were implicated in the cruelest way. His grandfather, grandmother, mother, and biological brothers and sisters were all executed, and no one was spared.
Glaber's father should also be on the execution list, but the royal family considered the war hero's outstanding achievements in the "Laurel War" and remembered the old friendship, allowing him to escape death and relegating him to a civilian exile.
He retained what little dignity he had.
However, for this once respected old general, whether this exemption from death is a gift or another more terrible punishment... only he knows this.
...
The night was getting dark, and the twilight in the sky began to be swallowed up by darkness, just like Grabo's life.
The last afterglow of the setting sun shines on the bruised body, and the blood that keeps dripping is faintly golden under the light. Grabo, who was tortured to the point of having white hair, is like an old man whose life has been exhausted and deformed.
The withered body was crumbling, and thick blood was dripping from the mouth and nose.
Grabo's father was already in tears. The old general's glory in the first half of his life was all ruined. His beard was wet with tears and the roots were stuck together. He knelt down and held Grabo tightly.
His shoulders kept shaking, and he asked sobbingly: "Why?!...Why would you do that kind of thing?!..."
"Hehe...hehehe..." The rapid air flow kept sounding in Grabo's throat, and he made a sad and sharp laugh, but there was no words, only those cloudy eyes with a ferocious look.
He smiled slyly and looked at Kino on the side of the square, whose fate was completely different from his own.
He showed no remorse before his death, which made Grabo's father feel completely humiliated. His last dignity was crushed by his son's hideous smile. He was like an old lion at the end of his rope, his beard and hair sprouting, and he let out a desperate roar.
Slapping Grabo, blood foam spread all over the ground:
"You have been arrogant and domineering since you were a child. I have warned you countless times that you can live arrogantly, but you must never do anything that harms the kingdom! We are "Troy"! We are the kings who conquered the world with the "Ancient King" 513 years ago.
Lead the family! Your father is a war hero! Are you going to be a traitor to the kingdom?! Go and help aliens assassinate your own prince??!!"
"Trash! Trash! You have completely disgraced me! You have brought shame to our family! I really regret letting you be born! Who is the instigator of all this?! Why don't you say it??!! You are now
If you say it in public, you still have a chance to make up for it! Why don't you say it??!!"
When the old general howled, Bolton on the stage leaned towards Perseus's ear and whispered: "Father..."
Perseus nodded expressionlessly.
Bolton stood up, looked down at Grabo from a high position, and said with a majestic voice: "You will tell everything you know now. I promise you in the name of the prince that although you cannot be reinstated, you will receive preferential treatment.
Spend your last days in a quiet place. All clan members implicated by you will have their sentences commuted or pardoned, depending on the circumstances."
"Haha...hahahaha!..." Bolton's response was Grabo's almost maniacal laughter.
Kindness does not control troops, Bolton is not a soft-hearted person. Although he feels sorry for the old general, he will never tolerate traitors, especially traitors who have no regrets. He smiled coldly and said: "That's it.
."
Bolton's return to his seat meant that Glaber had lost his final chance to redeem himself and could no longer recover it.
Grabo's father was already bursting into tears. He slapped Grabo on the face again and again, but his heart hurt a hundred times more than his hands. He hated this useless son and felt extremely sad that he was about to lose him.
Blood is thicker than water, flesh and blood are connected to the heart.
No matter how incompetent Graber was, he was, after all, the son he had watched grow up. The laughter and laughter of his childhood could still linger in his mind, but they were about to be wiped out and could never be found again.
"Hahahahaha...hiss...hiss..." Grabo's sad smile began to turn into a faint cry. He looked sadly at his crying father and slowly pressed his head against the wrinkled forehead.
, finally said his first words after being tortured, "I'm saving you...Father...I'm saving all of you..."
Grabo's father seemed to be grasping at straws and asked at the top of his lungs: "Speak clearly! Please explain everything clearly!!! Who is the mastermind behind the scenes??!!"
Apart from his faint laughter, Grabo never responded to his father, leaving him to cry and roar beside him.
There was no point in asking any more, and Perseus didn't want to hear this man's crazy laughter anymore, so he gestured with an expressionless expression - execution.
Even though Grabo's nerves have been paralyzed by the long torture, Perseus still has no intention of giving him an easy death. He will be brutally tortured by piercing - piercing the victim's back with a spear.
Standing vertically on the execution ground, letting the body slowly slide under the influence of gravity, you can feel the pain and despair of being penetrated throughout the whole process, until the spear is pierced from the mouth, drying and rotting in the sun.
After death, Grabo will not be buried. His body will be paraded through the streets to tell everyone the consequences of treason. Finally, it will be chopped into pieces and fed to pigs and dogs, turning into smelly feces.
There is no need to mention the execution process, and it is invisible to everyone present - this is the palace square, and Perseus does not want to bring bad luck by bringing a corpse out.
After receiving the execution order, the royal guards stepped forward and pulled Grabo's father away, leaving him crying desperately on the ground.
The sin of the son is the fault of the father, and he needs to be punished for having such a son.
The royal guards dragged Grabo to the execution ground. The bruised body dragged long bloody traces on the ground, but the servants who followed quickly cleaned it up with various tools.
The sunset will eventually sink into darkness. When the last ray of twilight disappears in Grabo's eyes, he looks up at the stage, his face distorted by an excessive smile, and he yells out the last words in his life as hoarsely as if madly: "Observe
Your Promise!!! Keep Your Promise!!!!!!”
The royal ministers on the stage were all confused. You looked at me and I looked at you. I didn't know who Grabo was yelling at.
Grabo's roar gradually faded away, disappearing into the distance together with his figure, which also meant that this person would no longer exist in the world.
At the edge of the square, Kino slowly raised his head and stared at the stage, scanning everyone's faces back and forth, trying to find any possible flaws.
However, at the observation deck where Grabo watched and roared, no one among the royal ministers looked abnormal. They were either whispering, pondering, sighing, or lamenting...
All the suspense is like rain melting into the water.
Suddenly, Solandel seemed to notice Kino's gaze. She stared back, her blue eyes as clear as lake light, she pursed her lips gently, and showed a pure smile to Kino...
