Game of Thrones: I Created the Magic Web

Chapter 255 The Trial of the Ancient Oak City
For this trial, a high platform of earth and stone was erected on the south side of the school grounds, and a long table was placed on the platform.

The three judges sitting behind the long table are Consul Garlan Tyrell, Duke Tywin Lannister and Lord Robert Royce.

Duke Tywin and Commander Robert Royce sat on either side, the former wore a bright red cloak over his leather coat, the latter wore the bright white armor of the Kingsguard, and Garland was between them.

The soldiers guarding the stage are all Gaoting guards wearing golden roses, with 14 people in two rows.

It shows who is the main judge among the three judges.

Garland crossed his hands on his chin, sat silently in his seat, observed the surrounding environment, and secretly imagined the trial scene later.

It is easy to see that today's trial is not very formal.

The prisoners waiting to be judged in the distance include Earl Matus Rowan, the surviving heirs of the Oakheart family, the vassals of Golden Tree City, such as the lords and knights of the Osgrey family and the Viber family, etc...

So many and so distinguished nobles were to be tried, and there was no gallery or jury, no witnesses to call.

In other words, the huge crowd around the school grounds were spectators and witnesses.

The soldiers in the west, the king's guards, and the soldiers from the River Bend who gradually gathered after receiving the "divine favor" all knew the "sins" committed by the prisoners.

So the judges are much more relaxed.

There is no need to work hard to prove the crime of the criminal, and to carry out long and boring refutation and argumentation, just to give the appropriate punishment.

Even if the punishment is too heavy or too light, there is no need to worry about other people's protests.After all, it is a victory.

It was also because of the victory in the war that Garland was able to sit here and judge a nobleman like Count Matus Rowan.

According to the rules, if you want to deal with the majestic Earl of Golden Tree City, not to mention the king himself appearing in court, at least the lord, Duke Mace Tyrell, must personally pronounce the sentence.However, now there are only the second son of Highgarden and the Duke of Casterly Rock in the West who do not belong to each other.Robert Royce is even more of the same position.

"Ahem~" Robert Royce coughed twice, and looked sideways at Garland beside him.

The message in the valley knight's eyes was clear.Garland nodded downwards.

The gray-haired monk came to the stage.

Normally, the trial of nobles should begin with the prayer of the bishop asking the Father to do justice.

However, there is only one monk in the ancient oak city who is a pure monk who serves the "blacksmith" of the seven gods.

So the old monk was dragged out of the sanctuary, briefly gave up the small metal hammer hanging around his neck, and instead held the "Seven Star Bible" and "Aegon's Code" in his hands to pray to the heavenly father for justice.

After prayer, judgment begins.

The master of ceremonies read aloud and called out the first name: "Harris Klein!"

The campus is quiet.

The haggard man approached the high platform step by step. He was still wearing the full battle armor, but the saber and all other weapons had been removed from his body.

The light curtain revealed the criminal's crimes to the three judges and tens of thousands of spectators.

Harris Clanne, as the captain of Lady Egwene Oakheart's guard, left his post at such a dangerous time to go to the city wall instead of guarding the Lord's side, resulting in the death of Lady Egwene and the ruin of Ancient Oakheart. shame.

"What a gross dereliction of duty!" Judge Robert Royce sternly rebuked.

At this time, the soldiers brought up a stretcher covered with a tight black cloth, but uneven marks appeared from under the black cloth.

Garland immediately thought of what was under the black cloth.

Call ~
The black cloth was removed, exposing the contents of the stretcher to the sun.Sure enough, it was those.

The audience around the school field roared into commotion!

Garland stared deeply at the light curtain.A closer and clearer scene appeared on the light curtain interface, as if he suddenly walked in front of the prisoner and the stretcher.

It seemed as if you could reach out and touch Mrs. Egwene's body.

What was even more exaggerated was that the second son of the Oakhurt family was still pressing on Mrs. Egwene, and there was a mess between the two corpses.It's hard to forget just by looking at it, especially if you can't wait calmly.

Tens of thousands of people are sharing this picture.

"What a monstrous crime!" Robert Royce thumped the table angrily, sending the shock to Garland's elbow.

Garland turned his head to look to the left. Lord Tywin was as calm as a rock.

However, Robert Royce was furious: "Harris Crane, are you unaware of this!? You let such a scumbag get it so easily?!"

The prisoner below stared blankly at the miserable scene beside him, opened his mouth wide, but made no sound.

He is finished.Garland looked at the prisoner sadly.

Sir Harris Crane, no doubt, was born of the Crane family of Red Lake, northeast of Ancient Oak.He should have lived a respectable life and died a righteous knight.

But now, everything has changed.

Who would trust such a notorious captain of the guard who made the Lord's death so ugly?Even if he can still live tenaciously, the stain will never be washed away.

"Sir, what do you plan to do with this guy?" Robert Royce asked Garland.

Garland was slightly surprised.

Even if I am the so-called "consul", there is no need for me to endorse everything, right?

But Garland still pronounced the sentence: "Sir Harris Crane, as the captain of the guards, has committed serious dereliction of duty and rebelled against the king as a knight. The evidence is solid. I sentence you to exile on the Great Wall, put on black clothes, and execute immediately." His There were trial suggestions on the light curtain, and Garland decided to read them all.

Two soldiers stepped forward and detained the prisoner until he was dragged out of the school grounds. Harris Klein didn't say a word.

The master of ceremonies then called out the next name: "Dennis Oakheart!" Lady Egwene's eldest son.

Another burst of unresolved discussions.

It was Garland who made the verdict: "Dennis Oakheart, as the heir to the ancient city of Oak, betrayed the lord, provoked war, rebelled against the king as a knight, robbed the caravan, and endangered the people. The evidence is solid. I sentence you to behead Sentence, execution after court."

The soldiers dragged away the prisoners indifferently.

Dennis Oakheart was more energetic than the previous ones. Not only did his mouth keep cursing, but his eyes were also full of resentment and curses.Not surprisingly, it was mainly aimed at Garlan Tyrell, the presiding judge from the High Court.

The master of ceremonies continued: "Togan Oakheart!" Mrs. Egwene's third son.

The crowd of onlookers is getting denser and wider.The soldiers of the Reach stood far away, but they could clearly see the expressions and endings of each noble lord through the miraculous light curtain.

Someone is sentenced to exile, and from then on he puts on black clothes, abandons all his former reputation, rights and titles, leaving only a name and a body;
Someone is sentenced to death, only to be executed as soon as the trial is over, and ends his life under a sharp knife;
someone was fined;
Someone is sentenced to prison or life imprisonment...

The last one: Earl of Golden Tree City, Lord Matus Rowan.

Garland is still merciless: beheading.

The trial is over.

People watched as Garlan Tyrell stepped down from the dais, drawing his longsword.

……

After taking off the heads of many Oakhearts, Garland ushered in the last one. "Earl Rowan, what are your last words?"

The Earl of Golden Tree City raised his head slightly: "May Gaoting be as prosperous as Golden Tree City."

Garland looked calm and raised his long sword high.

chah~
The human head fell into the halo of dusk, as if heralding the end of Jinshu City.
