The first thousand two hundred and fifty-three chapters may be able to start over
The "stranger" who came from God knows where and no one knows how he disappeared has not been found yet, but Avalon has entered a state of semi-martial law, and the normal order in Avalon has not been affected, but the path to that space
Two monitoring points have been added to all portals. Whether entering or leaving Avalon, one needs to re-verify their identity. At the same time, the space barrier in Avalon space is also undergoing a large-scale test. Although there is no evidence, some people suspect
Avalon's space has grown too fast, resulting in weak points in its space barrier. "Invaders" may bypass the teleportation coordinates and directly open a gap in the space barrier. This conjecture is obviously serious, and it does not exist in important areas of the empire's capital.
This kind of loophole should appear, but in any case, Sandora's current meaning is that she would rather imagine the worst than be careless. Let's assume that there are loopholes in Avalon's defense and security system. And Avalon space
It has been several years since it was created. This space model has not been tried by the old empire. The new model of world fragments combined with shadow space. Many of its parameters will need to be checked sooner or later anyway. It is better to take this opportunity to do it together.
The only thing that makes us feel at ease now is that there is no movement from Miss Lin. The Prophet still maintains the good habit of turning on the passive radar 24 hours a day and actively detecting it for half an hour after meals every day. She said that she has not seen anything that will cause harm.
Stable things have appeared in the empire, including the order of Avalon, which will continue to be normal, which makes us feel at ease.
Speaking of Lin Xue’s monitoring, she is actually a strategic treasure beside me now. Her “passive radar” monitors the entire empire area, and even part of the macro world is also under her sight. If any world
In the event of a major disaster, you can get early warning before anything happens. At the same time, she will also use active prophecies to cover the capital world, providing more accurate predictions and more advanced warnings for the shadow space. Her prophecies for various regions of the empire
The intensity basically matches the alert level of various parts of the country. So I can think that the empire now has two sets of national defense information networks, one is controlled by the military, and the other is supported by Lin Xue alone. You say this is not
What else could be a strategic treasure?
Although this strategic treasure is more of a living treasure more of the time...
Just when Avalon had just entered a state of semi-martial law, another thing happened to be coming to an end: the trials and sentencing of all Merova people had ended, and both radicals and conservatives should be executed.
.
Everything is not too different from my previous judgment, especially the radical group. According to the judgment of the court host, the vast majority of radical officers have exceeded the crime limit of the Imperial Code, and they are subject to the fourth district penalty.
The time that each person needs to serve in the fourth area ranges from hundreds to thousands of years. Barian got the punishment he deserved: he was sentenced to repent in the core furnace of the fourth area. He will be tied to the heart of the furnace and smelted for six years.
For fourteen hundred years, he has been reincarnated in death and resurrection every minute. As for the time of this torture, it depends on the number of races he exterminated in those thirteen worlds. The universe is so vast and the wisdom that may exist in the endless sea of stars is
The number of lives is huge. The extinction of 6,400 intelligent races is not something unimaginable in terms of quantity. The Merova people adhered to the policy of random extermination when colonizing. According to mood, according to rolling dice, or according to buildings
Planning, they regarded local intelligent species as ant nests they encountered on the way forward. If they felt unhappy, they would trample them to pieces. In the end, Barian paid the price for the extermination bills he signed.
This verdict was arrived at after precise calculations by the court host, so it is guaranteed to be in full compliance with imperial law. Although some people think that such a verdict is still too light: for example, Lilina. The archbishop with a bad personality rarely hates evil because
She herself said that she was actually a bigger lunatic, but in the face of the atrocities of the Merova people, this crazy curiosity-seeking loli was also filled with righteous indignation: This was mainly because of their wanton crimes against life, which made the spokesperson of the goddess of life
Lilina felt a kind of anger welling up from her soul. Now she is still talking about how she must tie Barian in a furnace and burn her for ten thousand years. She thinks that six thousand four hundred years of punishment is not enough to wash away her sins, but no matter what
He said that the verdict was made by the Imperial Court, and Lilina did not have the right to judge, so there is no objection to this result. And in my opinion, after staying in a place like the Fourth District for thousands of years... In fact, this verdict is not at all
Not too light, okay?
There are also a very small number of so-called "light criminals" among the radicals. After all, the situation in reality is always complicated. It is rare that a camp is full of villains who deserve death from beginning to end, and it is also rare that a camp starts from the beginning.
They are all saints from top to bottom. There are also war criminals with relatively minor crimes among the radicals. They may still have the same philosophy as Barian, and they may also support the belief that the Merova people are supreme and that all other races are ants, but these officers
There is still a bit of a bottom line. They once opposed extreme tyranny and did some humane things in their position. Now they have been rewarded for this little kindness: a quick death sentence and no more suffering.
No one protested.
The conservative Merovans were also tried, also in the imperial court, and they also accepted the logical sentence that was efficient and exempted from human emotions. The trial results basically did not exceed my expectations. Their crimes were indeed lighter.
According to the judgment of the court host, the conservative Merova people are non-subjectively treasonous. They had no motive for treason 70,000 years ago, but they still did not stop their radical compatriots and defected with the radicals. This is extremely unfair.
Subjective factual treason was punishable by death, but this was the only crime committed by the conservatives: apart from that, they did not do anything more that violated imperial law. On this basis, the imperial court took into account the conservatives
After a series of actions after the arrival of the Imperial Expeditionary Force, as well as their confrontation with radicals in the past 70,000 years, coupled with the tolerant attitude of the betrayed party, that is, the sister, the court accurately reduced their sentences. Here are the details
To explain, in the legal concept of the Xiling Apostles, the only element that can commute the death penalty, apart from the emperor's order, is military merit. Only military merit is universal across the empire. It can be recognized as an act of atonement by the Xiling Apostles. And Mei
The Lowa conservatives should be grateful for this: their support actions after the arrival of the Imperial Expeditionary Force and their confrontation with the radicals can be counted as military merits (the latter is equivalent to limiting the actions of the traitors and is reserved for us in the later stage)
A large number of slaves rebelled, which in the view of the court host was a military preparatory act that was beneficial to the empire). After precise calculations, the court host revoked the death sentence against the conservative Merova people and changed it to first-level exile.
First-level exile is a relatively special punishment among the imperial punishments. It is specifically targeted at groups rather than individuals. Accepting first-level exile means that the empire believes that you are worthy of reforming, although this rehabilitation may cost hundreds or even thousands.
It will not be recognized until years later.
Conservatives also expressed no protest. In fact, they were overjoyed by the verdict.
The day before the conservatives embarked on the road to exile, the leader Bee Ola personally brought a special "guest" to his home:
The leader of the conservative Merovans, Turazo.
My sister has said before that she wants to meet this very special "traitor". As the emperor of the Fifteenth Heaven District, my sister can no longer remember what happened back then, so her hostility towards the Merova people is limited to the latter
The crimes she committed against the slave race and the damage they caused to the capital of the Fifteen Days District, as well as her betrayal, which was the most important thing for the Imperial Court. She herself had no feelings about it. Therefore, she had no feelings for the conservative Melova people.
There was not much hatred, but after hearing about Turazzo, she was quite interested, so after the court trial, she had someone bring Turazzo over: This was really an extremely special invitation.
The emperor of the empire who had been betrayed invited one of the leaders of the rebels to his home.
The emperor even cooked two dishes himself... Okay, let's ignore the last one.
It had just reached noon, and the whole family was very serious. I didn't feel anything at all, but looking at the faces of Sandora and Pandora, it seemed that they valued Turazzo's special "visit". Even the five protoss stooges were very expressive.
Sitting aside solemnly. They are the third-party witnesses of this incident. At the critical moment, these gods are still very conscious. And the younger ones in the family are not stupid. Although they do not understand many things, they also know
We couldn't mess around at this time, so we sat quietly in the distance, looking at the adults curiously, and occasionally muttering for a while. Turazzo was "escorted" by Aura through the space gate, and what he saw was the current state of the empire.
In the scene where all the leaders were sitting in a circle in front of him, the old man was obviously a little dazed for a moment and stood there blankly. He didn't react until Aura pushed him from behind, and then he suddenly stood up straight like a conditioned reflex.
Facing my sister, I performed a military salute: "Your Majesty! Merova's Second Army... Second Army..."
He got stuck in the middle of what he said and couldn't catch up with him. Then he put down his hand dejectedly. My sister sighed softly: "You don't have to give us a military salute anymore, do you?"
"Ah, yes..." Turazzo's lips trembled, and he finally let out a breath. I felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so I temporarily shifted my gaze to Aura: This leader, the Queen Bee, rarely comes here.
At home, although she was Shandora's old friend, due to her personality, she hardly appeared in front of us outside of missions. I looked at her silver-white faceplate and asked casually: "Have you eaten yet?"
?”
Aura lowered her head respectfully, and when her eyes were focused, I heard a burst of electronic noise: "Not yet."
"How about eating something here?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
How do you think she completed these conversations calmly? If others would have nowloaded by now, right?
Bingtis glanced at me silently not far away, and said in the spiritual connection: "Chen, can you stop talking at this time?"
I:"……"
Turazzo only knew a few of us at the scene, namely my sister and the others, but he should also know the identities of the others at the scene, including the five protoss gang members. I saw that he was quite embarrassed now, so I planned to speak up to break the silence.
But my sister was one step faster than me. She nodded and motioned for Turazzo to sit down: "Relax, sit down. Forget about those things for today, just treat it as an ordinary guest."
"Your Majesty, you..." Turazzo hesitated, as if it was difficult for him to understand the situation before him. Of course, according to the "customs" of the old empire, the situation before him was indeed difficult for him to understand. He only said half of what he said, but I
He knew that he wanted to ask his sister what she wanted to do by calling him here: his impression was still on the iron-blooded emperor from back then. The gentle expression in front of him, "Your Majesty the Emperor", looked like an ordinary housewife. It was hard for him to imagine.
"It's nothing. I told you before. I just want you to be a guest. I'm a little curious about you, that's all." My sister looked at Turazzo. "I told you to sit down."
"Oh, oh." The old man seemed to accept the order, and instinctively straightened his body before sitting down in front of us. I looked at him curiously: "By the way, what did Ola tell you before you came here? Oh, oh
It’s the one next to it.”
"Summoned by His Majesty the Emperor," Turazzo sat upright as if making a military report. Finally, he added, "Well, those are the six words."
I glanced at Aura silently, and the other person's expression was a mirror of total reflection...
"Hmm," Sandora suddenly said, and she looked at Turazzo. "I also know the result of your sentence. The death penalty was finally revoked. It was changed to first-level exile."
"Yes," Turazzo said with a somewhat relieved expression, "It's a bit surprising. We didn't expect that we could be exempted from the death penalty even if we committed treason. If it was the old empire..."
"The old empire will have the same result. After all, you used your military exploits to make up for the sins of the past. Even when it comes to treason, you can only be regarded as an accessory," Sandora said lightly, "And to be honest, first-level exile is not
What an easy result, you should know the contents of first-level exile."
Hearing this, Turazzo nodded slowly.
"According to the regulations of first-level exile, you will be exiled to a barbaric world far away from developed areas. You will be deprived of all technology and industrial foundations, and will not have any survival tools. You will have to atone for your sins on a primitive planet, starting from the Stone Age.
At the beginning, the entire civilization starts from scratch. The Exile Universe has undergone strict assessment to ensure that your existing knowledge and scientific common sense cannot be effective in the new world. During the years of exile, you and your tribe will have to learn everything from scratch, including how to obtain
Food and smelting metal, you must re-understand all materials in the world to create primitive tools. The only thing that can be guaranteed in the exile world is that it is "suitable for life to survive."
"This will be a difficult period of exile," Sandora finally added, "The exile will last until the day you can step out of your own universe again, and only then will the empire remove the sinner brand of your race. And in this
In the process, many people will die of old age on the road to exile. Your lifespan is very long, but I am afraid that your generation will not even live to leave the planet. A civilization develops from the beginning of ignorance to the time it leaves its home planet. It is a period of time.
On the road of narrow escape, 90% of intelligent races will fall before then. Although you set out to the starting point with an enlightened mind, the world you choose for first-level exile will not allow you to take any shortcuts.
Historically, first-degree exile can almost be seen as another kind of slow death penalty. You should know this."
"You have said, at least allow us to have a civilized mind," Turazzo said with an indifferent expression on his face, "This is already a great gift, it will allow us to survive. The Merova people have wasted it.
It was a pass to become a civilized race, now... it might not be bad to start over again."
"It's best if you think so," Sandora nodded, "I hope you can really start over. Personally, I still hope to see your descendants reappear in front of me in a few years."
Looking at the scene in front of me, I still feel that it is simply too strange: on one side is the ruler of the empire, and on the other side are prisoners who are about to embark on the road of exile for treason and will spend their entire lives on a barbaric primitive planet.
But they faced each other like this, talking calmly about the long punishment that was about to begin. There was no loss or worry about the hard life of exile in the future on Turazzo's face, as if he was just going on a trip, and in Sandora
His face was so bland that he was almost expressionless.
Bingtis, Monina and other protoss sat aside. They did not express any opinions on these events. They were just a group of witnesses who happened to be present, silently watching how things started and how they ended. Qianqian seemed to have no feelings about the current environment.
, she was combing the fluff on the tail of the second-rate fox: the latter was another guy at the scene who had no feelings about the environment. However, Qianqian would occasionally look up at Turazzo and sigh softly. It seems that this girl
He's not completely heartless either.
I glanced at Turazzo and felt that I would never be able to understand the thoughts of a person with tons of dark history. My sister should be similar to me: her mentality is not much more complicated than mine, so she coughed twice and attracted
attracted everyone's attention: "Let's not talk about this matter, Tu... Lazuo, let's have a light meal before setting off."
The old man opposite was immediately stunned.
"Your Majesty...you don't want to ask me about my past..."
"I can't remember what happened back then, and I know that other people have already dealt with everything that happened back then," my sister said calmly, "Don't mention it again. I came to you today because I just wanted to see you.
I'm just curious about what kind of person you are. Besides, it's okay to say goodbye. After all, I was also your monarch tens of thousands of years ago."
Turazzo would not have thought that he would meet his emperor again and hear such words, but just like tens of thousands of years ago, he did not question or pursue the emperor's words. He nodded silently and accepted everything calmly.
.
The next day, the conservatives embarked on the road to exile.
Also on the same day, Barian and his followers entered the Fourth District.
