Chapter 170 Trial (Please subscribe!)
Although this is a ceremony that has been planned for a long time, but in the plan... the first item of this ceremony is the trial!
The great pirate Kelvin was killed on the spot by the brave and combative Idar navy soldiers during the battle.
However, someone must pay for the crimes they have committed, and someone must be tried on the land of Idar.
Therefore, Kelvin's right-hand man, the pirate leader Fast Pearson, naturally became the protagonist of this trial and took all the blame for the raid.
After all... Captain Jack, who has been cleansed, still has to work for Lord Idar and assist Bruno in controlling the vast ocean.
Standing on the podium, Bruno actually felt a little nervous. Although he was a count, this was his first time to give a speech under the gaze of tens of thousands of people.
Bruno looked around. The soldiers standing beside the platform to maintain order were his source of strength, while the people in front of him were the support and reliance that made Lord Idar even greater.
He cleared his throat, took a deep breath, and then spoke loudly to the Idar people gathered below the stage:
"Commoners, serfs, and officials of all levels in Idar Territory, I am your lord, the owner of the Order of St. George, the supreme military commander of Idar Territory, Count Idar - Bruno Stuart."
The moment Bruno opened his mouth, the noisy chatter in the audience instantly quieted down, and the speculations in the hearts of the common people were finally confirmed at this moment. Sure enough... the young nobleman in front of them was actually their lord!
But the brief calm did not last for a few seconds. Under the guidance of the pre-arranged atmosphere group, cheers louder and louder began to be heard...
"Long live Lord Idar!"
"Long live Lord Bruno!"
Hearing the cheers around them, the people who were filled with tension finally relaxed and shouted out the words that had been hidden in their hearts for a long time.
Listening to the heartfelt cries of the civilians and serfs in the audience, Bruno felt warm in his chest.
Everything I have done these days has finally not been in vain! This... is the will of the people!
Isabel stared blankly at the scene in front of her. As the daughter of Viscount Conte and a future tool, she was also invited to attend the celebration as a guest.
Looking at the excited people and the joy on their faces, Isabel's expression changed from disbelief at first to shock... and finally even a little fear!
She had never thought that those people at the bottom of society, those humblest guys who were always bossed around by the nobles, could actually burst out with such shocking momentum! Isabel knew very well what the common people in Conte looked like. They were poorly clothed, lived in the open air, and were full of pessimism and loss about the future.
However, in Idar County, these people are completely different from the sickly civilians in Conte County.
Isabel could feel that there was hope in their eyes, and they were looking forward to the future! It was under this strong contrast that a question arose in Isabel's mind...
Why are the common people in Idar so optimistic? Why are they so supportive of their lord? She looked at the stage with clear eyes. The Earl of Idar was indeed an extraordinary nobleman.
Bruno pressed his hand down, signaling these excited people to calm down.
"I believe many people still remember that a few months ago, a group of pirates attacked the Cape Salt Works on the east coast of Idar Territory. Eight soldiers died in the battle, and six innocent serfs were killed by the pirates... Whether they are soldiers or serfs, they are all citizens of Idar Territory, and they are brothers and sisters of all Idar people!"
"They used their blood and lives to guard the Cape Saltworks and the peace of Idar Territory!"
After listening to Bruno's words, all the Idar people present fell silent.
But this silence was not because of gratitude, but more because... in this era, the death of a few people is really a normal thing.
Therefore, they did not understand why the Earl would bring up the old matter at this time and at this celebration.
"The purpose of my saying this here is to tell everyone..." Bruno paused, then said in a deep voice: "Any enemy who dares to invade Idar Territory will be hunted down to the ends of the earth by Idar Territory's soldiers! Come on, bring the criminal up!"
Following Bruno's order, in front of everyone's eyes, a ragged pirate was brought up by the soldiers of Idar's regular army.
"He, Fast Pearson, is the pirate leader who led his men to invade Idar territory that day!" Bruno said, pointing at the pirate kneeling on the stage.
Suddenly, someone in the audience knelt down excitedly, pointing with trembling fingers at the pirate kneeling on the stage.
The man cried out loudly, "It's him! It's that guy! He killed my brother!"
Bruno ignored the shouts from the audience and continued, "In order to avenge the dead soldiers and serfs in Idar, the Idar Navy launched an attack and wiped out the pirates entrenched in the Basel waters in one fell swoop!... The lives of serfs are also lives! Anyone who offends Idar will be punished no matter how far away they are!"
As Bruno finished speaking, the civilians and serfs in the audience were all excited! Originally, the people were still a little confused about Bruno's words, but at this moment...
Looking at the victims' families squatting and crying in the audience, the Earl standing on the stage and making an impassioned speech, and the pirate leader kneeling on the stage, it couldn't be more real.
In order to avenge a dozen of the lowest-ranking people, the Earl actually ordered the navy of Idar to travel thousands of miles to strangle those pirates who had committed so many crimes! Although they found it unbelievable, the facts were before their eyes!
So much so that at this moment, the desire of the young men in Idar to join the army became stronger and stronger, and even the serfs became more and more fond of Idar Territory! This made them all realize that Lord Bruno was not just talking, but really regarded the serfs as living "people"!
The lives of serfs are also lives! Anyone who offends Idar will be punished no matter how far away he is!
Bruno's two sentences seemed to ignite the long-hidden passion in the hearts of the people, instantly igniting the atmosphere on the scene.
Looking at the excited people below the stage, Bruno couldn't help but nodded in the direction of the serf who was crying in pain.
actually……
The guy who squatted on the ground and burst into tears when he saw the pirate leader was not only a senior member of the atmosphere group, but also an excellent agent working for the Idar Intelligence Agency!
His acting talent and crying skills can be compared with those of the big stars in his previous life... no, his acting talent is even better than that of the big stars in his previous life!
I must ask Claire to give him some chicken legs when I get back! "Kill him!"
"Revenge for the dead soldiers!"
The serfs with red eyes shouted loudly.
finally……
Bruno, who had been silent for a long time, said in a deep voice: "The pirate leader Fast Pearson planned to invade the Cape Salt Works. The evidence is irrefutable and his crime is unforgivable! Here... I, Count Bruno Stuart of Idar, formally sentence Pearson to death!"
I will start building a new wonder tomorrow! Please give me a monthly ticket! Oh my god~ I also want to participate in the lottery⊙⊙! (End of this chapter)
