"Haha!" Ling Han laughed out loud. "All right then. I'd really like to see how you'll all get confessions from me under torture! ”
"Ling Han, even if you're an eloquent speaker, don't think you'll be able to escape today!"
“Facts speak louder than words. Now that you have done this shameful deed, you must pay the price! ”
"The Empire will not accept traitors!"
The witnesses had already recovered from Ling Han's attack on their spirits. Naturally, they were all extremely energetic again, wanting nothing more than to rush over personally and force Ling Han's head to the ground, forcing him to kneel down and admit his mistake.
"Traitor, dead!" In the stands, someone threw an egg.
Pa, it was naturally unlikely to hit Ling Han, and was blocked by the Origin Power shield he had installed.
Ling Han's eyes swept over, and he saw that it was a cunning-looking young man. When the latter realized that his eyes were focused on her, he immediately shrank, and did not dare to look at her.
'One of Zhao Lun's subordinates or Sha Yuan', Ling Han immediately thought. They are trying to incite public anger.
Quite right, with this throw from him, a great many became in an uproar. Some people were ready, and were throwing eggs. Some were not ready, so they spat on him.
Although Ling Han had put up a shield, and would not be hit by anything, or spat at, there were over 1000 people here, and at least half of them did something insulting him. What kind of humiliation is that?
If this were to spread, how could Ling Han face the public again?
Zhao Lun smiled coldly. He doesn't care what the truth is. If he could use the crime of treason to kill Ling Han, it would be the best case scenario. But even if he could not, just this scene alone was enough for Ling Han to suffer. How could he raise his head up high in the future?
In this battle, he had won, and it was a total victory!
Pei, she is a minor character with no background or basis to speak of, so what makes her qualified to be a suitable match for her?
Zhao Lun looked towards Shui Yanyu, and saw that this seductive beauty clenched her hands, her beautiful face pale. Unknowingly, a crazy pleasure appeared within him. He was already bored with Yang Luodan. Looking at her herself, she was quite pretty, but if she stood next to Shui Yanyu, she was completely out of the league.
'Hehe, you won't be able to escape from my palm!'
"Come, bring the torture device!" Gu Tianchu. With so many witnesses here, it was not too much for him to suggest the use of torture, and abide by the rules.
Immediately, two men brought large grindstones.
This is cruel torture. It was to crush one under the grinding stone, and every bit of blood, flesh, and bone would be crushed into a pulp. However, Gods were hard to kill, so they could endure for a very long time. Thus, the pain they had to endure was naturally even more extreme.
Anyone would pale when talking about this torture device.
Zhao Lun and Sha Yuan both smiled coldly. Finally, they could make these commoners endure some real and sincere suffering.
The witnesses, meanwhile, smiled coldly. Some of them had no choice but to give false testimony due to their orders, while others wanted Ling Han to disappear from this moment because of their jealousy towards him. Now that their plan would finally work, naturally they were happy.
"Start the torture!" Gu Tianchu's orders, slapping the judge's hammer.
"Wait!"
Right at this moment, a woman walked over. She wore a brilliant golden armor, like the female War Goddess, emitting a supreme aura.
"W-we salute the Supreme Commander!" The three judges quickly stood up, circled around from behind their tables, and knelt down to pay their respects to this female guard.
"Honor the Supreme Commander!" Even Zhao Lun and Sha Yuan knelt down, and everyone in the spectator stands knelt down. No one dared to refuse to pay their respects.
Qu Qiuxue, the Chief Commander of the Royal Guards, an elite of the Heavenly Body Tier!
Whichever identity he used, it was enough to intimidate the entire world. In the entire Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire, only nine Kings, Left and Right Ministers, and Seven Generals could stand with him at the same level.
However, Qu Qiuxue had always been by the side of His Majesty the Emperor, the empress, and could be considered as her trusted aide. In a sense, he could be considered the latter's representative, so his status was naturally even higher than the others.
Such a powerful figure had arrived personally; who would not be afraid and agitated by his presence?
Only now did everyone dare to stand up. They were all confused and filled with incomprehension. This was only a trial for a mere ninth-ranked military officer, so how did it attract the favorites of His Majesty the Emperor?
"I came here today to read the praises of His Majesty the Emperor!" Qu Qiuxue said, her eyes sweeping over Ling Han and Zhao Lun.
His Majesty the Emperor wishes to give you a gift?
Then it must be for Zhao Lun!
Everyone is sure of this. Zhao Lun had discovered a great conspiracy of the Eternity Sky Majestic Empire, finally reaching its peak by voluntarily retreating. This was a great service, so it made sense that His Majesty the Emperor, the empress, would reward him for this incredible service.
Still, he chose to do so at this moment. Didn't it fully announce Ling Han's death sentence indirectly?
It seemed like they did not even need to resort to torture, and the empress had already declared her position on the matter. Then, they would just be dragged by Ling Han and beheaded!
Even Zhao Lun thought that way, and subconsciously put on a proud expression. He had just been given a gift by the empress not long ago, and was granted the title of a seventh-ranking military officer. Now that he was again rewarded for his service, no matter what, his official ranking could be upgraded to another rank.
Tsk, tsk, tsk. A rank six military officer who had not even reached the age of 1000. Even in the empire, this was rarely seen. Who knew how many people would die from envy?
Qu Qiuxue issued an imperial edict. Instantly, golden light shot out in all directions, emitting a terrifying pressure.
"Your Majesty the Emperor thrives!" Everyone once again knelt down to receive the edict from the empress.
"Imperial Promise to .." Qu Qiuxue read aloud. He was an elite of the Heavenly Body Tier, so there was no need for him to read too hard. As his heavenly senses spread out, his words could clearly spread to every corner.
"… Ling Han as a seventh-level military officer!"
Pu's!
When they heard Qu Qiuxue recite the last words, everyone choked. They stared with their eyes wide open, their mouths so wide that fists could go inside.
The imperial appointment of the empress was actually not for Zhao Lun, but rather Ling Han!
This, this, this ... What's going on here?
Isn't this guy a traitor? Didn't Zhao Lun expose the conspiracy of the Eternity Sky Majestic Empire, and thus perform a great service?
Why the opposite now?
Everyone was astonished, but would Commander Qu joke about the Queen's will?
You have to joke!
He was Grand Commander Qu, the trusted aide of the empress!
Hiss, the empress did not ask if Ling Han was a traitor, but chose to announce her imperial appointment for Ling Han at this moment. Does that mean not clear enough?
The empress is happy with Ling Han here!
You f*******, who else would dare to declare that Ling Han is a traitor? If anyone dared to call Ling Han a traitor, wouldn't that be a direct slap to the empress' face?
Just ask the world, who would dare slap the empress in the face? En, is there anyone who is brave?
Zhao Lun's originally proud expression instantly shattered. His body even started to shake.
As the son of Great General Zhao, he was simply amazing! But in front of Empress Luan Xing, she was considered useless! Put it aside, so what if it was her father? If the empress wanted to kill him, she would also have no mercy at all.
Otherwise, the Eight Generals would not have been the Seven Generals in the first place.
The Empress herself favored Ling Han, yet you wanted to trap her. Isn't that directly against the empress? To dare to fight against the empress in the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire! The kind who is not afraid of death!
Zhao Lun felt that she was currently an idiot, but she had a very healthy fear of death.
