The legions stationed in various places witnessed this scene. What they felt in their hearts, perhaps only they themselves knew.

The twenty-one members of the Merlin family involved in the case were directly imprisoned in the local prison and were closely guarded by the Dragon Knight himself.

On Martin's side, Jovian has come several times.

Martin felt a little annoyed, but he finally had Jovian brought in.

Jovian walked slowly to Martin with her big belly, and was about to salute him. Martin waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite, and ordered someone to give Jovian a seat.

After that, Martin just looked at Jovian quietly, wanting to see what she was going to say.

Before Jovian came, she approached every member of the White royal family one by one, but after hearing about this, none of them were willing to help her, not even Mrs. Ellie, who was close to her.

In desperation, Jovian had no choice but to come and see Martin.

After taking her seat, Qiao Wei'an said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I implore you to show some mercy and spare those members of the Merlin family who have done nothing wrong."

Martin really didn't expect Jovian to make such a request. In fact, he himself was still hesitant about whether to take the lives of all the members of the Merlin family and had not made up his mind yet.

At this moment, Martin fell silent.

Jovian also didn't expect that Martin seemed to really want to make everyone in the Merlin family pay the price. She came here just to test him.

She knew in her heart that those members of the family who had committed crimes would definitely not escape punishment, but as for the other innocent people in the Merlin family... Thinking of this, Jovian couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing Martin's silence, Jovian realized that it was useless to say more at this moment. She stood up with difficulty, bowed politely, and slowly walked outside.

Just as she was about to step out of the throne room, Martin's voice came from behind her.

"Go and tell the Merlin family a message and warn them."

When Qiao Vian heard this, a smile suddenly broke out on her face.

She turned around, faced Martin again, bowed respectfully, and then left happily.

Martin looked at Qiao Wei'an's departing back, smiled and shook his head gently, and whispered to himself: "Merlin family, I hope you can cherish this opportunity and don't seek death again."

After saying that, he continued to focus on handling government affairs.

Meanwhile, in the Merlin Family's council hall, Duke Merlin sat at the head of the table, awaiting news with a solemn expression. The family members had long been dismissed by her.

At this moment, the communication crystal suddenly lit up, and Duke Merlin quickly answered it.

Jovian's voice came clearly through the communication crystal: "Duke Merlin, this matter ends here. However, this is only one chance, you have already used it, there will not be a next time."

After saying that, he hung up the phone neatly.

After hearing this, Duke Merlin's tense nerves finally relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief. He had finally overcome this difficult time.

Then she again ordered all family members to be summoned to the council hall.

When everyone was gathered, Duke Merlin, with a serious expression, issued a stern warning to everyone: "Next time? No, there won't be a next time! If anyone dares to commit such a heinous mistake again, Your Majesty, I will personally send you to see your ancestors without you having to do anything! Do you understand?"

Everyone in the audience quickly responded in unison, "I understand."

Seeing this, Duke Merlin waved his hand and signaled them to leave.

After everyone dispersed, she rubbed her brows wearily. She knew in her heart that His Majesty's leniency was entirely due to the child and their past relationship.

Thinking of those disappointing tribesmen, she couldn't help but complain inwardly: They are such a hopeless bunch. They can't live a peaceful life but have to cause all these troubles.

At that moment, the Dragon Knight began to execute the criminals according to His Majesty's order.

In a blink of an eye, bursts of shrill wails were heard outside the cell, and all kinds of torture instruments were used.

To the Dragon Knight's surprise, these criminals were initially quite resilient, holding out for a long time. However, one girl eventually gave in to the immense pain, her defenses completely breaking, and she revealed everything.

Using this as a breakthrough point, the Dragon Knight pursued the enemy and the remaining people confessed their crimes one after another.

After the interrogation, the relevant confession was quickly presented to Martin. Martin looked at the words on the confession, and for a moment, his brain seemed to freeze and he was completely stunned.

The whole thing started because they just thought it was "fun" and made a bet.

What is even more outrageous is that the number of people killed was not the more than 300 people initially known, but more than 2,000 people.

They actually made a bet on whether they could concoct a magic potion that could keep them young forever without any external help.

In Martin's eyes, this was simply absurd. Not to mention that the medicine was not something they could prepare, and the statement was totally unfounded. How could they have the courage to do such a heinous act?

And the legion commander was so stupid that he was willing to be an accomplice to the evil in order to please the Merlin family.

Immediately afterwards, Martin sent a message to the Dragon Knight far away in the Magic City, clearly instructing him to execute the twenty-one criminals and let them watch their blood drain away until they died.

The other side responded quickly, indicating that they understood the instructions and would definitely follow them.

The aftermath of this incident continued to spread, and Martin, in view of its adverse impact, ordered the military to launch a comprehensive investigation. Soon, the leaders of the Knights were arrested one after another.

This time, Martin did not choose to execute them, but instead put them into the death squad, where they could play their final role.

Martin is determined to gain the Northern Continent. In order to prevent these people from having a good life, he first lets them mine and contribute to the kingdom.
