Chapter 278

Dockett knelt on the stand. Everything that happened in the Federal Court was still fresh in his mind.

During the entire trial, there was only the judge, the jury, and two prison guards. Other than that, there was not a single person in the audience. There was not even a plaintiff or a lawyer.

He was the only one who was declared guilty by the judge in court, and the content of the crime was only two words, "Top Secret!" The verdict of the trial was only two words: "Death penalty!!!"

The entire process lasted less than thirty seconds. It was a very short drama.

Before he was escorted away, Dockett flashed a mocking smile at the judge and the jury. "The top secret you're talking about, is it the kidnapping of Faye Cosmic Nation's Lord Elizabeth?!"

Everyone's expression changed when they heard this.

"Kid, do you want to lose your tongue?" The seemingly impartial judge clamped his hand over his mouth. With his demigod abilities, it was easy for him to capture Dockett, whose powers were restrained.

"Haven't I already been sentenced to death by you? How bad can I be? "Dockett's smile was still full of mockery.

On the stand, Dockett raised his head and looked in the direction of the port. His heart was filled with anticipation.

His intelligent wristwatch had long been removed by the people from Faye Cosmic Nation. For the past ten days or so, he had been imprisoned alone and knew nothing about the outside world.

However, being imprisoned for more than ten days had made him much more sensitive to the sounds around him. He could clearly hear the discussions of the crowd.

"There's been no news from Gu Ding's crew for more than ten days. They must have escaped from Faye Cosmic Nation, right?"

"Their crew doesn't even have a demigod. Coming to Dragon Cove is a suicide mission!"

"That's right. Any space pirate with half a brain wouldn't enter the Royal Capital Star Sector, let alone Dragon Cove."

"I heard from an insider that the reason the death penalty was delayed for half a month was to gather more powerhouses to Dragon Cove. As soon as Gu Ding's crew appears, they'll be surrounded and killed by many powerhouses. It's impossible for them to escape. "

"I also heard from an insider that the members of Gu Ding's crew know how to disguise themselves. Their spaceships can also change their appearance. Someone saw a Golden Eagle in Chama Cosmic Nation the day before yesterday. A guy about the same size as Biggie walked out of the spaceship, but his face was different. There's an eighty percent chance that it's Gu Ding's crew. "

…

The crowd was abuzz with chatter, but most of them were of the opinion that Gu Ding and the other members would not take the risk. Dockett could not help but smile bitterly.

He had only known Gu Ding for a little more than a month, but most of the time they had been cultivating in their own rooms. The total time they had spent together was less than three days. Therefore, he did not know much about Gu Ding and the other members. All he knew was that the atmosphere in the group was joyous, everyone was enthusiastic, and everyone had good combat effectiveness. However, that was all.

He had also heard some rumors about Gu Ding. He had heard that Gu Ding cared a lot about his companions. He had seen it when he healed Biggie. However, Biggie was the most powerful person in the team. Dockett did not know if Gu Ding would have done the same thing if it had been someone else. What Dockett knew was that he was only a doctor in Gu Ding's crew. Moreover, he was not a very qualified doctor up until now. At the very least, he could not solve the problem of Biggie and Tagore. Therefore, he was not sure if Gu Ding would take the risk for an "incompetent" member like him. He was even leaning toward the possibility that Gu Ding would not come.

On one hand, he did not want to be sentenced to death, so he was hoping that Gu Ding's crew would come. On the other hand, he was worried that Gu Ding's crew would be wiped out once they arrived. Therefore, he was conflicted.

Around the execution platform, everyone waited patiently.

The execution was scheduled to take place at noon local time. It was arranged to give Gu Ding's crew enough time to arrive at the scene.

There were many powerhouses at the execution site.

Elizabeth sat at the head of the table. On her left and right were the will projections of Guardian Quinn and Parliament Speaker Senna. As for the other two Divine Guardians, they were hidden in the shadows and were waiting for an opportunity to strike at any moment.

Both of them hated Gu Ding to the core. They knew that if they had not stepped into Gu Ding's territory, they would not have lost. The most hateful thing was that Gu Ding had stolen all the resources they had collected over the years.

In addition to Senna and the four deities, there were a total of one hundred and twenty-six demigods around the execution platform on Dragon Cove. This force was undoubtedly the strongest force in the entire Faye Cosmic Nation. They had gathered together for Gu Ding's crew.

Originally, although Senna and Kane had planned this trap together, they did not intend to make it so big. After Johnny and Leilut were released by Gu Ding, it was not difficult to determine Gu Ding's strength even though the two of them had covered up the process of the battle. Their defeat made Senna realize that Quinn was the only one in the entire Faye Cosmic Nation who could suppress Gu Ding in terms of combat effectiveness. Therefore, he had summoned all the demigod powerhouses back just in case.

Elizabeth sat at the head of the table. There was no expression on her face. Unlike the others who looked forward to seeing Gu Ding and the others appear, she really did not want to see Gu Ding. However, she also knew that her hope was just an extravagant hope. There had been no news from Gu Ding's crew for the past half a month. This meant that they were lying low and gathering their strength. They would also choose the most appropriate time to appear. Elizabeth was not sure what the outcome of this battle would be. Logically speaking, Gu Ding's crew could not win because they had Quinn on their side. This was because they had Kane on their side. As long as Kane made a move, Gu Ding's crew would not be a match for them. However, Elizabeth also knew that Gu Ding was a man who could create miracles. He would always be able to do things that no one else could imagine.

Senna was expressionless, but he was a little anxious. His anxiety was different from Elizabeth's. He was worried that Gu Ding's crew had already escaped from Faye Cosmic Nation. If that was the case, his carefully planned trap tonight would be a complete joke. He needed Gu Ding to reach Dragon Cove, jump into his trap, and then be captured or killed. As long as he achieved his goal, the Federal Government would completely erase the impact of Medea's dereliction of duty and the kidnapping of the Lord. For the sake of his daughter's future, he had to bet everything on this.

Quinn was equally expressionless, but her expressionless face was different from the other two. She had enough confidence in her own strength. No one in the entire Faye Cosmic Nation was a match for her. She could kill Gu Ding, who was not even a demigod, ten times over with one slap. There was nothing to be afraid of. Of course, if those demigods could handle this matter, she would be happy to watch the show and watch from the sidelines.

Everyone at the scene had their own thoughts. Only the onlookers had the simplest thoughts. They just wanted to watch a good show.

The other main character of the show was already on his way.

In the crew, apart from Gu Ding who had broken through to a Rank-9 Gene Body, everyone else had a breakthrough.

The effect of the beast blood was excellent. Lilliath had gone from a Rank-10 Gene Body to a Rank-13 Gene Body in one go.

Elsa had also gone from a Rank-11 to a Rank-13 Gene Body. She had even fused the god item axe with her Life Weapon, allowing her Life Weapon to be upgraded to the strength of a god item.

Biggie had not only completely recovered from his injuries, but he had also gone from a Rank-11 to a Rank-13 Gene Body. He had also obtained some methods to improve his combat effectiveness from the god item longsword he had just obtained.

Tagore had also completely recovered from his injuries and had gone straight to demigod level. No one knew how strong he was now.

As for Robert, he had gone straight to deity level after obtaining the energy matrix. No one else knew how strong he was. As usual, he stayed alone in his room and tinkered with his things.

"The Royal Capital Star Sector is in front of us. Are you sure you want to do this?" Neptune asked Gu Ding.

"Yes!" Gu Ding's tone was firm.

"Hello, this is the Royal Capital Star Sector. All spaceships must go through an identity check before they can enter. Please provide identification for all members of the spaceship! "A sweet female voice was heard in the Golden Eagle through the speaker.

Neptune immediately followed Gu Ding's instructions and sent the identification of Gu Ding and his crew over.

Then, a sharp scream came from the speaker.

"Hello, I'm Gu Ding. Our crew has come to the Royal Capital Star Sector to go to Dragon Cove and retrieve the hostage held by the Federation Army — Dockett. Dockett is our crew's doctor and an indispensable member. We need him to return to the crew … "

Before Gu Ding could finish speaking, the young lady in charge of the identity check pressed the alarm button. Gu Ding and his crew clearly heard the alarm go off. Then, a row of destroyers surrounded the Golden Eagle. There were a total of twelve of them.

"Neptune, I'll leave it to you," Gu Ding said to Neptune as he watched the destroyers get into formation.

"Hehe, I get to participate in direct combat today." Neptune smiled proudly. Then, twelve flames shot up into the sky. The twelve spaceships' self-destruct sequence was immediately activated by Neptune. Before the destroyers could aim their cannons at the Golden Eagle, the twelve destroyers were completely destroyed. The pilots in the spaceships immediately fled in their escape pods.

"Miss, don't do such pointless things anymore. There are many people waiting for us at Dragon Cove." As soon as Gu Ding finished speaking, Neptune controlled the identity check machine and passed the check. The space transmission channel that had been sealed was automatically opened.

The young lady in charge of the identity check was stunned when she saw what had happened. When she came back to her senses, Gu Ding's crew's Golden Eagle had long disappeared.
