239 Public trial and sentence

Claire Warren was nervous and excited when he walked onto the platform in front of the Moon City Concert Hall. As a survivor who survived the Boseman massacre and witnessed the massacre with his own eyes, she and her two companions were taken to Moon City from a temporary resettlement site in Diyago half a month after the massacre. According to those who brought them here, it was to attend the public trial of Boseman.

Boseman? The enemy leader who led the massacre was captured by Elena?

With such expectations and mood, Claire looked at the dock on the left side of the concert hall, and the emotions in her eyes were very complicated. However, the empty dock still disappointed her. It seemed that the rumors outside were true. Boseman was not caught by Elena, but was transferred to Ronninger by the dog emperor to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and continue to bully the people.

"The plaintiff has arrived in court. Please be quiet. The trial will begin in five minutes."

The person who presided over the trial was an old man named Sink Steuba, who was once an earl of the Ankenry Empire. He worked in the imperial legal system for a long time, and was fair and famous. His hometown was in Enspan Province, and after his retirement, he recuperated in Enspan Province. After Elena controlled Enspan Province, the old man accepted Gastens' invitation and served as the president and justice of the Elena People's Government at the age of 78. At the same time, he also gave up his title of count and gave up his leisurely old age in the Ankenry Empire. Many people in the base area were curious about what Gastens said to him and could convince such an old man to come out. The answer given by Gastens was just a simple sentence.

There is never a shortage of smart people in this world who can find the right path.

The trial held at the Moon City Concert Hall was a week in advance and made a lot of publicity throughout Eilena and Ankenryin, and even invited many media reporters. Now, these people have filled the huge concert hall in Moon City, and everyone is waiting, looking forward to Eilena's reaction to the Boseman massacre.

Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, the methods adopted by Elena and Ankenryin were somewhat incomprehensible to deal with this Boseman massacre. Elena had almost no clear official statement after the Boseman massacre. When Binbo Bobluf was asked this question for a few times, he always said that there would be a way, but never said anything. Ankenryin quietly gave Boseman the punishment of the forty-scepter rod and decided to demote him to Ronninger. For those more than 600 lives, the way the two sides handled it was not consistent. Whether it was other countries or major media, they actually regarded this silence and low-key handling as a pretender. They waited patiently and waited for the main dishes to serve.

Under the auspices of Singh Stubba, the trial was calm. The empty dock turned the trial, which should have been fiercely confronted, into a one-man show of only one party. The defense lawyer who defended the trial in form was listless and obviously did not intend to be serious. The Elena government, who brought the public prosecution, was obviously thoughtful, but because there was no opponent, those exquisite, logically rigorous, and incitemental accusations and reasonings, were like fists hitting cotton, and they were a little weak. The only highlight of the audience was that the girl named Claire stood on the witness stand and told the massacre she had seen.

"...It was very cold that day, but the people who assassinated Boseman were never found. All of us arrested by him, both men, women, young and old, were taken to a cow pen in the suburb of Koleborite. We were all familiar with that kind of cow pen, which was the fence where the landlords came back to herd herds and fed and counted temporarily, and even the cattle would not stay overnight. However, Boseman and his soldiers locked us up in that fence and no longer cared about it. Some of us went to ask the soldiers who detained us, what to do at night, and they would be frozen to death. But those soldiers not only did not give answers, but were also beaten back. In this way, more than 600 of us were locked in the fence, holding each other warmed each other, hoping to survive that cold night. Later, someone was frozen to death, and we felt that this would not work, so someone led the way out of the fence and tried to escape..."

Under the pyroxene light, the serf girl Claire's cheeks flushed and tears were slightly hung in the corners of her eyes. She dressed in a simple dress and dressed herself up very seriously in order to go to court. Her long brown hair was tied into a simple bunch and flowed along one shoulder. The girl was tall, but not strong, but had a sense of weakness. This was rare among serf women. The reporters present keenly realized that this weak, surviving serf girl could become the shocking point in the news, and did not hesitate to her pen and ink. A few reporters who brought speed painters also decided to leave the precious speed painting to the girl. Above the low-pitched discussion and the sound of pencil rubbing on the drawing paper, Claire's statement continued.

"...We killed the soldiers and then started to run away. Everyone didn't know where to run. Later, someone shouted, "Go to Elena, and we ran towards Elena together. It was evening and we didn't know the direction. But there was a way, just follow the road. It was very cold that day, and my hands and feet were frozen and I felt nothing. Chavez and Elgot took turns carrying me. Later, when we were about to reach the border, Elgot said that so many of us would be discovered and might even be killed. We suggested that everyone act separately. However, some people in the team thought that there were many people walking together, and maybe they rushed over. Elgot took us away from the main force, trying to find a remote place to sneak past, but not long after we left the main force, we saw the line of soldiers and guns in front... "

When she said this, Claire's voice was a little choked. She wiped her eyes, revealing the back of her hand that was still a little red and swollen, and continued.

"At that time, Elgot knew that things were not good. He asked us to hide in the field next to us, lie down and don't move. We just lay there, and then, the people shot. The gunshots were like fried beans, row by row, and very neat. We watched the people who escaped with us fall down one by one, and died soon. Some people wanted to run away, but were quickly caught up and killed. After that, some people ran away. We were far away, and it snowed again that day, and no one was discovered. However, it was too cold that day, we lay there, not daring to move, for fear of being discovered. The snow on our bodies melted little by little, and it was very cold. At that time, I thought that I must be frozen to death..."

During Claire's narrative, neither Justice Singh Stubba, the prosecutor, the defense lawyer, or the reporter, did not interrupt her. She was silent on the stage for a while and continued.

"Later, we saw someone riding a horse. It was the officer, the Boseman who killed the serfs on the stage. I knew him. He was very tall and a little lame. He was easy to recognize. He took a dozen people to see the bodies and talked to the soldiers. The soldiers answered him loudly, shouting OK, OK, yes, sir. Then Boseman left, and the soldiers began to drag everyone's bodies away, and we didn't know where to drag them. The six of us lay until everyone dragged the bodies away, and the soldiers returned to the outpost before they could move. At this time, Uncle White, who was fleeing with us, had been frozen to death..."

A low voice of discussion sounded in the reporter group and in the audience. Everyone was shocked by Claire's description and intuitively realized Boseman's cruelty. If everyone lacked enough sensory understanding of Boseman's behavior before, then Claire's words made everyone realize directly what kind of person was Boseman who created this massacre.

"... Later, the five of us started to escape and finally found our way across the border. We crossed the border at night, but were chased by crossing the crossbows shot from behind. Chavez and Sare were dead, Elgot was injured, Gerald and I were fine. We crossed the border and arrived at Elena, and we met Elena's army, and we were saved."

When Claire said that we were saved, his tone was very flat and there was no loud tone. However, everyone could hear the relaxation in her tone. It was a sigh and sigh that after experiencing a long journey and life-and-death journey, finally finding the way to survive and reaching a safe place. It was a resonance with the girl in front of him even without such experience. The moment Claire finished speaking, the entire temporary court was quiet only with the rustling sound of the brush.

"Okay, thank you Comrade Claire, we'll go to the next stage."

Sink Stubba's voice was still as calm as ever. In his life, there were countless cases he had seen, so he would not be easily moved. However, Claire did not step down at all, but looked at him and asked a question.

"You will kill him, right?"

"If he is guilty and sentenced to death, we will kill him."

Sink Stubba's voice was very firm. Claire glanced at the empty dock, looked at Stubba again, nodded, and walked off the witness dock. Behind her, the others who were walking with her would also make additional speeches one after another. However, almost everyone at the scene was focused on the serf girl.

After experiencing such hardship, the last question she asked in court was so cold and bloody.

You will kill him, right?

———————————————————

"Kill me? How do they kill me?"

Suterin Boseman, who had been demoted and transferred, looked indifferent when he was interviewed at the railway station in Koleboret. He looked at the reporter in front of him and asked in a very natural tone.

"We are the army of Ankenyin, defending the glory of this country and His Majesty the Emperor! They are a little Ailena, a betrayer, a rebel, and a rebel. They want to kill me? What to kill? Why do they kill? With their great magician? I want me to say that Gastens is a liar! He doesn't know what luck he has left, and he wants us to kneel at his feet for the rest of his life and lick his boots! He thinks he is, a death row prisoner, a serf, and a scum that is not even a human being, he is not worthy!"

Shocked by Boseman's direct and provocative words, the reporters were surprised. Elena's public trial was not kept confidential, but was still widely publicized. Now, ten days after the public trial, not only Ankenry is paying attention to Boseman's fate in China, but many people who care about Gastens and fear Gastens are also paying attention to Boseman's fate. So Boseman, who is about to leave Correbolet, was blocked at the railway station. He is also a ruffian and doesn't mind it at all. He not only accepts interviews directly at the railway station, but also says such shocking words.

"Are you directly questioning the authority of Gastens, the man closest to the great magician?"

"Is these words Ankenry's official statement from the military?"

"Don't you really feel guilty about killing so many people?"

"What are your next plans? Will you continue your iron-blooded policy in Roninger?"

The reporters who were bombarded by Boseman's remarks became even more crazy. They asked countless questions but were blocked by the people around Boseman. The man who created the massacre with his own hands and challenged Gastens proudly and reservedly waved to all the reporters, turned around and walked towards the carriage.

No matter how Elena intends to deal with him, when he boards a steam locomotive, leaves Coreyboret, and arrives at the far east city of Ronninger, everything here will have nothing to do with him. No matter how powerful Elena is, can it affect Ronninger? He, a journalist who is clearly criticized, will live a better life in Ronninger. As for those serfs and those Elena's mud legs, let them continue to be anxious and angry, because they can't reach themselves anyway.

In fact, Boseman still wanted to say more and humiliate Ailena more. However, he also knew his positioning and measure. The emperor needed him, a trivial and reckless person, to test Ailena's bottom line. But the emperor did not need him to provoke a war between the two sides. So, the words just now were enough. After he left these words, Sterling Boseman, would leave here and go to Roninger to start his new life.

Then, wait for the next promotion.

Boseman was very satisfied with his thoughts, and he could also hear the noise of the reporters behind him, which made him fascinated. However, just as he began to think carefully about how he should wave goodbye before getting in the car, a huge force hit his back, and his body was moved forward by this force and fell on the platform of the station.

After that, he felt the pain.

It was violent, as if it was penetrated by someone, and the pain of being torn extended from his back to his chest and then spreading toward the surroundings of his body. Boseman could feel his blood flowing out from under him and spreading on the stone slabs on the platform. He could even hear his messy heartbeat and the huge exclamation behind him.

I got hit? Where?

Boseman gradually had questions in his slow consciousness, but he could no longer find the answer. The second shot followed the first time that he penetrated his body, completely ending his life. The man who was just telling him to challenge Elena was killed less than ten minutes later at the station that was about to leave Colleboret.
