Chapter 99 Knight's Trial
"Okay, everyone is here. If there is nothing to deal with, we will prepare to enter the secret realm."
"Is everything okay?" Han Xing asked.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
Shen Yun asked at this time: "Brother Xing, after we entered the secret realm, the territory was left unattended. Will there be any problems?"
Han Xing shook his head and said, "Don't worry about that. You guys will overlap your territory with mine, and I will modify the defense instructions of the psychic shield to circle your territory as well."
"Then set up the attack program for the siege crossbow launcher. If anyone attacks the defense shield, we will launch a counterattack."
"Then you can put out all the puppets you got as rewards from the last rankings. There shouldn't be any problems."
After hearing this, everyone nodded.
The power of Han Xing's siege crossbow launcher has been proven. Even when facing a siege of multiple people, it can easily deal with it and destroy it.
Add to that so many golden and silver-armored puppets, and it can be said that it is an iron barrel.
At this time, Su Xiaoyang also added cautiously: "If you encounter danger, Xiao Qian will also help fight..."
"It...it may look a little scary, but it's still very obedient."
Everyone looked at the other level 10 leader-level tree demon she had planted.
It is a plant-type monster, and a leader-level one at that. In terms of actual combat capability, it is even stronger than Han Xing’s golden armor puppet.
Han Xing nodded, "Since everything is fine, let's go in directly."
Then, Han Xing invited Su Xiaoyang to form a team.
This five-member team has been initially formed.
And Han Xing naturally became the captain of the team.
He walked to the vortex of the cloud secret realm, and at this time, the system prompt appeared.
[Do you want to enter the two-star cloud secret realm, the 'Knight's Trial Field'? ]
"yes."
The vortex slowly began to rotate, indicating that the portal had been opened.
Han Xing stepped in first, followed by Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun, and finally Zhang Lianmeng and Su Xiaoyang.
The scene flashed, and everyone appeared in a huge square.
The square is very large, roughly estimated to be at least tens of thousands square meters, and the entire ground is paved with blue-gray stone bricks.
In the center of the square, there is a huge statue about twenty meters high and with a base diameter of more than five meters.
It was a human knight holding a shield in his left hand and a holy hammer in his right hand.
Simple movements reveal his extraordinary temperament.
Under his crotch, an extraordinary horse stands with its head held high, further highlighting the heroic posture of this knight.
However, at this time, the statue had been overturned in the middle and broke into two pieces.
The ground was covered with thick dust, and the knights no longer had their former glory.
At this moment, the system prompt appears.
[The horses are neighing, the flags are waving, this is the trial ground of the former human empire, the knight king Grutar often judged the guilty here.]
[Three thousand of the empire's most elite knights will watch the ceremony, and the guilty will be beheaded here.]
[Until that day, the Knights' Trial Field welcomed a group of different criminals. Today, they are going to publicly try the former Knight Commander of the Empire, Remus, and his 300 members of the Canghuan Knights.]
[As the Knight King's right-hand man, Remus has made great contributions to the rise of the empire. However, recently, Grutal wanted to sentence Remus to death for betraying his faith.]
…
Everyone was confused for a moment.
Cheng Jianyong said, "What the hell? Why is this two-star Cloud Secret Realm different from the one we fought before?"
Han Xing nodded, "It's a little different. There's actually a background introduction right at the beginning."
Before everyone could adapt, they suddenly heard a burst of loud cheers.
"!!"
The five people's expressions suddenly became stern. The originally empty venue suddenly appeared with the shadows of thousands of people.
They all shouted one name in unison, "Grutal!"
"Grutal!"
Everyone looked at an empty seat in the audience, where there was a huge throne carved from a single piece of stone.
At this time, Cheng Jianyong said in a sly voice, "Damn, this thing has a cutscene?"
"By the way, is this Luerta so powerful? He even wants to chop off his own left and right arms?"
Shen Yun said speechlessly, "It's Grutal. Shut up, Cheng Jianyong, and take a look at the situation first."
At this time, surrounded by thousands of knights, a man in white armor and with a resolute face sat on the throne.
He tilted his face to one side, his eyes sharp, and looked down and said in a loud voice: "Remus, do you admit your guilt?"
Below, the shackled members of the Cang Huan Knights were forced to kneel on the ground. They were stripped of the armor that symbolized glory and lost their trustworthy mounts.
This group of knights who used to be so brilliant, now lost their glory, showing only misery and sadness. Seeing that no one answered below, Grutar asked again: "Remus, do you admit that you have betrayed the laws of the kingdom and done something disloyal to the God of Light?"
On the field, more than 3,000 knights couldn't help but look sideways.
They seemed unable to believe that Lord Remus, the Knight Commander who was once the most loyal to the kingdom and the bravest in battle, would betray His Majesty the King of Knights and the kingdom.
However, among this group of downtrodden knights, a man with a resolute face, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Respected Knight King, Remus, I plead guilty..."
He seemed to have given up his last struggle and lowered his head humbly.
After hearing Remus's admission, the other knights who were watching looked at each other in bewilderment.
On the throne, Grutar nodded slightly.
"Since you are guilty, then follow the law and deprive Remus of his rights as Knight Commander. Execute him immediately."
Grutal's sentence was equivalent to a death sentence for Remus.
Remus' expression showed no trace of fear, but he asked calmly: "Your Majesty the Knight King, after this, can you end the evil spirit elimination activities?"
After hearing this, Grutal frowned and said angrily, "Remus, you are still so stubborn. I have already told you that those people are not our people, but a group of pagans who have surrendered to the evil god!"
At this time, Remus asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, you said they were pagans who betrayed their faith, but they were just a group of children!"

"I saw with my own eyes the knights' iron hooves trampled their village. The children were covered in blood and were searching for the bodies of their relatives among the corpses scattered all over the ground."
"But even so, the eyes of those children were still so clear. They asked me, will the God of Light take away the souls of their loved ones?"
"How could these ignorant children be pagans? How could the God of Light be afraid of a group of children?"
Remus' words were powerful, and his soul-piercing questioning stunned everyone.
"Shut up!" Grutar's voice shook the entire courtroom.
"A new generation of evil gods has been born among humans. If we allow them to grow, they will cause unpredictable disasters. This is a warning from the God of Light!"
"Remus, are you doubting that the oracle from the God of Light is false?"
Below, Remus remained silent.
He didn't dare to question the God of Light or Grutar in public.
Grutal's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "Remus, don't be stubborn anymore."
"Since you have fought for the empire and made many contributions in the past, do you have any last words before the execution?"
Remus looked around and asked with a glimmer of hope: "Your Majesty, letting those children escape was a decision I made alone. It has nothing to do with the Cang Huan Knights. Your Majesty, can you only execute me and let the other knights go?"
Grutal thought for a moment, shook his head, and said firmly: "No."
Remus was instantly filled with despair. He looked at Grutal in disbelief and asked, "Your Majesty, why?"
"They are innocent, and they still want to contribute to the kingdom again and dedicate their faith to the God of Light!"
However, no matter how he pleaded, Grutal remained indifferent.
At this time, Grutal, who was sitting high on the throne, waved his hand and said, "Execute."
As soon as he finished speaking, huge crossbows appeared at the edge of the trial field.
When the crossbow arrow is about to be shot.
Remus raised his head, as if he had made some kind of decision.
A strong light suddenly burst out from him.
This light shot straight into the sky, making it impossible for everyone to open their eyes. The next moment, the chains on Remus broke directly, along with the shackles on more than 300 other humans.
He shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Cang Huan Knights, you all still have a bright future. You should not bear the blame for me. I will block this place and bear all the charges!"
However, the three hundred or so knights looked at each other, and after the initial state of confusion, they realized what had happened.
However, none of the more than 300 knights retreated, but instead stood behind Remus.
Just like every time he went to war, Remus would always be the first to rush forward.
This time, the Cang Huan Knights still stood firmly behind Remus, and no one retreated.
They shouted in unison: "We swear to be loyal to the Knight Commander until death, and we will stand by him forever!"
The sudden change left thousands of knights in the entire trial arena in a state of confusion.
Including Han Xing and others who were watching the cutscene on the side.
Cheng Jianyong was surprised and asked, "Damn, are we going to fight?"
"By the way, will we be dragged into this?"
Cheng Jianyong's worries are not without reason.
at this time.
On the throne, Grutal was not surprised. He ordered in an orderly manner: "Seal off the exit of the trial venue. Prepare the crossbowmen and shoot all criminals who try to escape."
"Knights, suppress Remus."
On the field, after the initial chaos, thousands of knights immediately restored their formation after receiving Grutal's orders.
They drew their swords in unison! Clang! Clang!
The kingdom's most elite knights drew their swords and pressed towards Remus with unrivaled force.
