Chapter 259 Public Trial of Paladins, Xia An's Justice

The morning light came from one side, and Gloria had to squint her eyes. She was unwilling to bow or turn her head, even for a moment, which meant surrender.

What was oppressing her was not the shining tip of the knife, or the huge sword with endless power, but the eyes of thousands of people, mixed with curiosity, pity, contempt, resentment and scrutiny.

"It's... too shameful! What are they going to do to us!?"

Mayne on the side was not as calm as her, with his head lowered, his eyes looking at his toes, and his face was blue and white.

The shame Mayne mentioned has nothing to do with the kind of things that happened before. Now they are lined up with Jenny and others, tied to the pillars on the high platform, facing thousands of people, maybe Watched by more than 1 people.

Except for being tied to death with forbidden ropes, they did not suffer any more abuse, and even the people who escorted them were all women.But this kind of scene, not to mention Glonia and Mayne, none of the paladins beside Jenny have experienced it.

Mayne just lowered his head, some of the other paladins were trembling and their eyes were straight, some were muttering something nervously, and some were crying softly.That is to say, Jenny is better. His injury is still not healed, his body is supported by a brace, his eyes are looking at the sky, and the corners of his mouth are always slanted, which looks like a sneer.

"Are they going to burn us?"

Mayne was about to cry: "That's such an ugly way to die!"

If they didn't see the pyre, they shouldn't be burned to death.But whatever it was, as Mayne said, it was a shame.

Gronia tried her best to look calm, but her cheeks were still burning involuntarily.She was really ashamed, ashamed of her own inability to control herself.

The wonderful feeling of rising to the rank of a hero blinded her sanity into thinking she had the power to do justice.But in front of that little man and that huge sword, she felt real power.Thinking back to Xia An's teaching to her again, she didn't use any divine power, just relying on the movement of the mortal body and the use of mortal weapons, which made her powerless to parry, that kind of power was even more mysterious and profound.

Power, I need more power...

Gronia's shame has deepened further. Sanctioning Theresia and revive Alanis, what a righteous vow, now that I think about it, it is simply the nonsense of ignorant children. What sanctions and revival?
Back in Hongshi, when she said this vow to those paladins, she finally understood the gazes cast on her face, they were laughing at her overreaching.

In Hongshi, even a mere slave catcher could not deal with it. Here, just a child beat himself unconscious.Think about your goal again, Teresia is a legend, and there are thousands of troops under him, how can I defeat her?The people of Alanis have all sunk into lies, how to wake them up?

Strength, without strength, even the slightest justice cannot be done...

Gronia finally figured it out, her mind was clear, and she found her own way.

Is it too late?

No, don't lose hope!I am a paladin recognized by the scales of Tyr!
The burning sensation on Glonia's face gradually dissipated, and she bravely looked at the audience.

"My path of justice will not be cut off like this! The scales of Tyr recognized my vows, and..."

A light of hope rose in Gronia's eyes: "Uncle Xia An won't just sit idly by. It's his vow to protect every paladin on the Godfall Plateau!"

The high platform stood in the huge square to the north of the city of thorns. The scarlet believers in red and the soldiers in white, blue and green smocks formed a line to drive the "slaves" from the city of thorns and those who heard the news. The adventurers are separated under the high platform.

Except for "slaves", God knows where so many adventurers came from...

But that's okay, just let them see, the justice of Uncle Xia'an, and the justice of the Xia'andia paladins!
"Don't be afraid, we are the embodiment of justice!"

She encouraged Mayne, and she was also encouraging herself.Originally, she thought that Jenny's paladins were too fanatical, but now she felt that it was not enough.

A man in red stepped onto the high platform, immediately making Glonia's eyes turn red.

He is quite tall among human beings, taller than Gloria by a head, with broad shoulders and a wasp waist, and a very well-proportioned figure. His long black hair is tied up casually, and he has a delicate face. His fair skin makes many women jealous, gray His eyes were shining brightly.

When the face is expressionless, it is difficult to determine whether he is a teenager or a young man, and he will never be more than 20 years old.

He was wearing a simple bright red tunic, with a wide black belt tied around his waist, and the silver belt buckle was etched with a smiling five-pointed star logo.Other than that, there were no more decorations, and the whole person looked very refreshing. The bright red short robe was worn on him, making him dazzling like a torch.

Li Qi Prell, the Duke of Hadron Kingdom, the pope who revived Cupid, the swordsman of Queen Theresia, and the core executive of the Alliance of Order.

Although this face is not as familiar as Theresia's, it has appeared several times as an official representative of the Order Alliance in the interviews with the Order United News Agency, and Gronia and others will naturally be familiar with it.

Enemy face to face, extra jealous...

Duke Prior walked past the paladins with their hands tied behind their backs to the pillars, looking at them carefully.

The other paladins became even more nervous, and even Jenny lowered his head, not daring to look at each other, not only because this man controlled their fate, but also because this was the pope.

"Pooh!"

Only Mayne bravely spit at the Duke, then lowered her head, her cheeks were as red as eggplants, and she could vaguely hear her muttering in a low voice: "It must be the devil in disguise!"

That's why he is so handsome, making Mayne's heart beat faster.Spitting that spit was not hatred at all, but resisting the charm of the other party.

Gloria knew exactly what her partner was thinking...

When the Duke walked up to him and stared at her, for a moment, she also wanted to imitate Mayne.

But something in the depths of the other's gray eyes made her breath stagnant.

It is not the astonishment that most people will have, and the evil desire that arises from the amazement, but surprise, and the understanding of what is associated with it.

He saw through my identity!

Gronia secretly yelled, her body tensed, and she subconsciously wanted to swing her evil fist to hit that pretty face.

As soon as the divine power surged, the restraining rope reacted, and the tingling sensation like a needle not only dispelled the divine power, but also made her go limp, and a low moan came out of her throat.

It's really useless...

The sense of shame gave Gronia strength again. She looked at him bravely and said hoarsely: "Justice...will prevail!"

At this time, Duke Prior's eyes moved to her hair, as if confirming his guess, and he was not annoyed at all when he heard this.

He smiled faintly, nodded and said: "Justice must prevail!"

The Duke didn't speak to her again, and went straight to the next paladin.

Glonia was stunned, was that a conversation between enemies just now?It's basically a greeting between two paladins!
"Sure enough, it was the devil in disguise..."

At this time, she felt that what Mayne said was correct, only the devil was so confusing.

Duke Prell looked at every paladin carefully, then stood in front of the stage, raised a loudspeaker, and the sound spread throughout the square.

"Citizens, adventurers, the first public trial meeting of the Fein Crimson Community is held! Today, we will try these paladins here and make a just verdict on their crimes of attacking civilians and killing innocent people!"

As soon as the word "judgment" fell, the crowd suddenly started to commotion.

At this time, the morning light was strong, and several golden lights were seen coming directly from a distance, flying towards the square in an instant.

The muffled sound of more than a dozen sword blades piercing the wood merged into one, and a long sword was split into each wooden pillar, swinging slowly, just in time to cut off the rope binding the paladin's hands.

Including Gloria, the paladins lost their balance, either slipped to the ground, or staggered and knelt on the ground.

Not only did they not panic, but everyone looked happy.

Gronia even yelled in her heart, I knew that Uncle Xia An would come to save us!He will administer his justice!
Now let's see how you end up! ?
She looked at Duke Prior. Even if he didn't hug his head and yell at the guards like other nobles, he would probably jump in panic.

Then she was stunned again, the Duke turned around calmly, and even shrugged his shoulders, did that mean "it's true" or "it's just that"?

"Xia An, countless cameras are recording everything that happened here! No later than tomorrow, it will spread to every corner of Fein Continent, including the network of gods and demons! You are sure to stop this public trial, with your legendary power, Covering criminals and proclaiming the justice of a paladin to everyone is actually the justice of strength?"

Is not it?Isn't there justice with strength?
Gronia sneered in her heart, how could Uncle Xia An be intimidated by your childish remarks?

The long sword dangling on the pillar shone with a golden holy light, and the wooden pillar shattered loudly, and debris filled the sky.There was obviously no wind, but they gathered into wide ribbons, criss-crossed and circled, gradually covering the entire high platform.

A figure pierced through the streamer and appeared on the high platform, but apart from the paladin and Duke Prior, who was still standing upright, no one else could see clearly.

The person who came was wearing a very simple linen robe. He was of medium height, with a burly body and a beard on his face, but he gave people a very neat feeling.

The sawdust fluttered like a dancing belt, driving some kind of mysterious power, isolating the high platform in a weird space.But the person who did all this did not radiate any magical power from his body, so the whole space did not lose its sense of reality, making the weirdness seem like a real law.

"My justice is to protect the paladins of Xia'andia. I use power for this reason. This does not mean that I agree that power is justice."

The man said in a low voice: "Of course, the power we're talking about should be the established law of this world. That's the way to go on and eventually annihilate the hearts of mortals."

He smiled faintly, stroked his chest with his right hand, and nodded in greeting: "The mentor of the Silver Hand Paladin Order, the guardian of Xia'andia, Xia'an Tilous, send you my greetings."
