Duke Luan knocked the hammer and announced loudly: "This court has ruled that the former emperor of the empire, the Duke of Steyr, and the elector Steyr are guilty! You still have the last chance to make a statement, the sinner Steyr!"
The emperor - no, the sinner Steyr laughed heartily, and then looked at Duke Luan with contempt: "I once allowed you to call me by my name, and your expression of gratitude is still in front of me.
!
"If the Langdon family's lion cub thinks you are a reliable ally, he will definitely be shocked in the future! You secretly sent someone to find me when the old fox was around, trying to be duplicitous and get the best of both worlds! Lan
Little lion cub, look at Duke Luan’s frightened expression now, he is clearly afraid that I will come up with solid evidence!”
Duke Luan said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I have always been loyal to my allies!"
The emperor laughed.
Duke Luan: "He is crazy! You don't have to listen to his crazy words anymore! Pull him down..."
Bruce raised his right hand: "No problem, let him continue talking. After all, this is stipulated by the laws of the empire. It is his legitimate rights and interests. He can say whatever he wants until time runs out."
Duke Luan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the emperor's sharp laughter: "Hehehehe! Then I will count the sins of you people! Open the eyes of Langdon's young lion!"
Next, from left to right, the former emperor recounted all the dirty things that every elector present had done.
Several of the Dukes looked at the hourglass anxiously, wishing it could leak faster.
Finally, the hourglass was finished. Duke Luan shouted on behalf of everyone: "The hourglass is finished, the time is up! Someone is here!"
Bruce directly took the hourglass from Duke Luan's table, turned it upside down and let the sand start falling again, and then said: "The hourglass has just started to leak. Come on, sinner Steyr, continue. This is your right."
Steyr laughed loudly: "It's useless to pretend to be calm. Do you think you can wear the crown firmly now? Let me tell you what will happen next. These ungrateful guys will take the Empire
The law states that to accept the new emperor's destiny, all the electors must be present, and they cannot be absent from the appointment.
"Then they will feel at ease and watch the internal fighting among the three duchies end, and by then they will be reconnected!
"Little lion, when your old fox is here, you can control them into submission, but you! You don't have this ability! Although you have suppressed them with force, in fact, in their hearts, they still
You are considered a fool who only knows how to force yourself!
"When they leave your territory, all kinds of little thoughts will come to life again! You can't be the emperor at all!"
Bruce looked at the hourglass that had finished running again and stood up: "I think you have mistaken the most basic point, old man. Obtaining the crown of the empire through the elector meeting is the long-cherished wish of my old fox, not mine.
"
The sinner Duke Steyr snorted: "Then let's talk about your long-cherished wish."
Bruce spread his hands: "My long-cherished wish is to meet a girl and drive a carriage with her to do business."
Wang, who was listening nearby, frowned: Why does this wish sound familiar? Did it come from me?
Everyone except Wang was confused - no, Wayne Langdon also heard Wang tell anecdotes about his teacher, so he also knew that Bruce was talking nonsense.
Bruce continued: "Actually, I don't care about the crown at all. The reason why I want to execute you today is not because of the crown. No, not at all. The reason why you want to die here today is because of your conspiracy to let this Langdon City...
My people have suffered great losses.
"You have to die to pay for the sorrow and anger of the homeless people on the street. You have to die to comfort the souls of the young girls and elderly mothers who were murdered. You have to die so that my father can be in heaven - maybe
Hell or abyss – rest in peace.”
Bruce glanced at the entire round table hall, snorted contemptuously, and continued: "I know that many people don't believe my words. Because you are no longer qualified nobles long ago, and your souls have been corrupted by hundreds of years of inheritance.
.
"But the guards listening in this room will believe it!"
The guardsmen led by Langdon who were present all held up their chests proudly.
Bruce: "The people in the church cemetery who are burying their loved ones and crying loudly will believe it! The soldiers in the military camp collecting the belongings of their comrades will believe it! The people of Langdon Territory will believe it! Their sons and grandsons will believe it!
"The moment you are hanged on the gallows will become a festival for the entire Langdon Territory! Every year from now on, everyone will sing and dance to celebrate your death! Celebrate that great revenge has been avenged!"
The emperor listened in a daze, then grabbed the iron railing and knelt on the ground. He seemed to have never expected to hear such words, and was directly hit and lost his mind.
Bruce slammed the gavel on the table to regain the emperor's attention before continuing: "So you must die today. Your statement time is over. Sir Wayne! Escort him to Gallows Square! You have to make sure he is receiving punishment.
Before, get treated properly!”
Wayne Langdon beat his chest with his right hand: "Your order is my destiny."
Then he opened the cage in the dock, almost dragged the old man who was once the emperor out, and continued dragging him away from the Round Table Hall.
Bruce continued to order: "Take action immediately and post notices on every bulletin board to inform the whole city that we will execute the culprit of the previous tragedy! Let the public notice officers shout louder!"
**
Bruce's orders were carried out efficiently.
When Emperor Steyr's prison car came out of the inner city, the roads were crowded with people watching the excitement.
"It's the emperor!" someone shouted, "that's the old man on the gold coin!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a big pile of excrement hit Steyer's face in the prison car.
Wayne, who was escorting the prison van, immediately said: "Don't use deadly force! Those who have rocks in their feces will be arrested!"
As soon as he finished speaking, several more bags of shit were thrown at him.
"Murder!" roared the old woman who threw the shit, "Bring back my son and daughter! Murderer!"
In addition to feces, other messy things were also thrown up. Wayne directly ordered: "Defend the prison car from arrows."
Defense arrows can withstand most long-range attacks, instead of just "arrows". Cow dung, rotten eggs, etc. can be blocked. As for why Wayne didn't just issue an order for the mages protecting the prison van to use this spell,
Probably because I forgot.
After being covered by protective arrows, the cow dung and stones all hit the invisible barrier, but the miserable stench still penetrated Steyr's nostrils.
Along with it came shame and anger.
"A bunch of bastards!" Steyer growled, "Just wait and see!"
However, there is nothing to wait and see. The fate of the former Imperial Emperor, Duke of Steyr and Elector will end today, without any deviations or variables.

At this time, in the Round Table Hall, Bruce said to the other Dukes: "Guys, we have some housework to deal with. Can you please leave for a while?"
Duke Luan stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Don't pay attention to what the emperor...the sinner Steyr said just now."
"I don't care. I really don't care about the crown." Bruce smiled slightly and then made a farewell gesture.
After the Dukes and Bruce's fiancée had left, Wang said, "I thought that to execute an emperor, you must at least show up at the scene."
Bruce smiled and said: "What emperor? He just hanged a guilty pariah. Fortunately, you captured him directly instead of killing him in the middle. If you killed him, his elector status and dukedom would all fall to his son.
There, according to the laws of the empire, we cannot cancel the title of our son because of his father's sins."
Wang raised his eyebrows: "Is there such a setting?"
"That's what happened. When Quasania was established, it referred to the complex laws of Monrovia and the Dwarf Kingdom, and merged the garbage places on both sides." Bruce paused and looked straight at it.
King, "Let's get down to business. As you can see, I'm still a long way from being crowned emperor..."
King: "I believe you are wise and capable enough to deal with this. I think you will definitely be able to be crowned the emperor of Cosania."
Bruce ate a soft nail and sighed: "Okay, let's talk about the resurrection scroll. You see, we are still in danger. The reason why I didn't use the scroll to resurrect my dad before was because he died of natural causes.
And I am very young, which means I will not die naturally..."
King: "I understand, you have to regret it. It doesn't matter. Our original agreement was to exchange the resurrection scroll for the knowledge of the seven-ring dragon-shaped spell. In this case, it's okay if we don't exchange it. We will take Erwin's body and wait until we have enough strength.
Then resurrect him. You must know that we have a priest, a dwarf priest, and he will definitely be able to master the magic of resurrection in the future."
Bruce was choked again and could only draw circles in the air with his hands. While drawing, he said: "Uh, this... is... that..."
His Archmage said from behind: "Your Highness, that's in the form of a dragon! Think about how much advantage you will gain in your confrontation with other Dukes if I master this magic!"
Bruce looked at the sky and sighed: "Okay. Then you can copy the book now. When you are halfway through copying, I will give the scroll to the king and then copy the other half."
Wang snapped his fingers: "Very good, happy transaction. But I have a condition. I have to let a paladin mediate this transaction."
Bruce stared at the king for a few seconds before nodding: "Yes, paladin, there must be a paladin intermediary."
**
When Elizabeth and her party were brought into the Round Table Hall, Wang was pouring Erwin's body out of the dimensional bag.
Next to him stood the steward Merlin, and next to the Solace man stood a paladin of the god of justice. The warrior held a scroll respectfully in his hand.
Xiaobai rushed out of the queue, lay down on the ground and smelled Erwin: "It stinks so bad, his internal organs should be turned into paste. This kind of food is usually very unpalatable and very fishy."
As he spoke, Xiaobai began to make gestures: "No matter what kind of game it is, the internal organs must be removed completely to avoid the fishy smell."
Elizabeth: "This is not a game, it is a human being."
"You humans also have cannibals, and the elders said that when humans are hungry, they will exchange their children and cook them. We werewolves don't have such a habit."
Just as Elizabeth was about to maintain human dignity, the king raised his head and smiled at her: "You are here at the right time, we are preparing to resurrect Erwin."
As soon as Elizabeth opened her mouth, she heard Langdon lead the archmage to slap the table: "Wonderful! This magic actually solves the problem of changes in the capsule cavity in this way! It's so exquisite!"
The dwarf looked at the archmage and asked, "Have you copied the dragon form to Langdon's archmage?"
"Yes, the transaction went smoothly. The resurrection scroll is already in the hands of the paladin. I will use the scroll myself later."
Elizabeth was very worried and said: "Is it okay? He is a seven-ring mage."
"No problem. I handed over his spell-casting material bag. This way the triggering spell won't be triggered."
The triggering spell's casting equipment is a wooden figure carved by the caster himself - it must be carved by himself. After the triggering spell is cast and the triggering magic is set, this little figure must be carried with him, and the triggering spell will
Triggered when the set conditions are met.
In other words, the villain triggering spell is useless. At yesterday's killing banquet, some archmages drank too much and had their villains touched, so the triggering spell could not be triggered and they died.
Mishashala silently took off her bow and arrows, then pointed it at Erwin on the ground: "I understand."
Wang: "Be careful, or you'll shoot him to death as soon as he's alive. Actually, you don't have to worry so much. We still have the Grand Master of the Seventh Ring here."
"Ah?" Hearing his name, the Archmage raised his head, "Oh, yes, yes, I am here."
He put away the spell book and stood up: "Are we going to start? Then I will set up defensive magic on myself first. I am still very stable against a guy who doesn't have a bag of spell casting materials."
Bruce kept looking here silently, looking back and forth between Elizabeth and Wang.
At this time, Wang suddenly thought of a question: "By the way, why did you come suddenly?"
Elizabeth: "You didn't know? You gave us the note. I thought you predicted what was going to happen."
Wang spread his hands and said: "No. I just think there shouldn't be anything too dangerous, so I asked you to wait until I come back."
Elizabeth looked shocked: "Have you... figured out the current situation?"
Wang: "I must have figured it out. It's nothing major, don't worry."
The whole team looked at each other.
Finally, Elizabeth said: "We were captured from the Three Wild Boars Tavern by my second brother, the Duke. Cassander led the knights and surrounded the tavern."
Wang looked at Bruce suspiciously, as if he didn't understand why Bruce sent people to detain him and his party.
Bruce smiled slightly and said, "It's better to resurrect Erwin as soon as possible. Aren't you still in a hurry to save the world?"
