Chapter 692 Fake court (5)

The prosecutor didn't care at all about the questioning gaze that General Gardner had as he pulled out something from the stack of papers that he brought.

It was a single piece of paper, but he held it in front of himself as he started reading what was on it.

It was a list, a list of all the crimes that General Gardner had committed.

General Gardner had a calm look on his face at first, but that expression slowly started to change when he heard what the prosecutor was saying. The crimes that were listed at first didn't seem that serious at first, but it was slowly becoming more and more serious as the list went on.

These were crimes that were on par with treason...

But it didn't seem like General Gardner was going to deny it...

The look on his face made it clear that the prosecutor had hit the nail on the head with this list of crimes that he was accusing General Gardner of. Even if he wanted to deny it, there was nothing that he could deny since he was in this sham of a trial.

For them to bring it up at this point, it was clear that they already had the evidence on all of these crimes.

General Gardner just had to see if he could find a way out of this...

When he was done, the prosecutor turned to look at General Gardner and asked, "Is there anything that the defendant wants to say in response to these crimes?"

The defense attorney was about to say something, but to everyone's surprise, General Gardner suddenly reached out to stop him.

The defense attorney looked at General Gardner with a confused look, but he shook his head as if he was telling him to stand down for now. So even if the defense attorney had an unwilling look on his face, he didn't say anything in the end.

The prosecutor had a surprised look on his face as he looked at General Gardner, but seeing that he didn't say anything, he just continued by pulling out more pieces of paper from the stack on his table.

After the prosecutor sat down, the king didn't even bother asking the defense attorney for his defense as he turned to the jury to say, "What is your judgement?"

The fourth prince was the one that led the jury in saying, "Guilty."

The king gave a nod in response to this before turning to look at General Gardner to say, "In the face of this overwhelming evidence, we hereby strip the former general of his rank and his noble title. In addition, we sentence the general to be sent to the Beirut Kingdom for his execution at the hands of the Beirut Kingdom's court of law."

Both the former General Gardner and the defense attorney revealed surprised looks when they heard this before former General Gardner started laughing.

Seeing him laugh like this, everyone looked at him with a confused and concerned look, as if they were afraid that he had lost his mind.

After all, he was certainly laughing like he had lost his mind.

After laughing for a while like this, the former General Gardner suddenly stopped laughing and looked at the fourth prince to say, "So you're offering me as a tribute to those other kingdoms? Just because I was the one that killed all of those soldiers? You think that will be enough to appease them?"

The fourth prince just had a calm look on his face when being questioned by the former General Gardner like this.

Seeing how calm the fourth prince was, the former General Gardner actually became angrier as he said, "What if I'm not the one that killed all those soldiers in the first place? What if I was just using that incident as a way to increase my own fame? What would happen if that was the case?"

The fourth prince didn't say anything, but the others that were in the room couldn't help slightly knitting their brows.

Seeing this, the former General Gardner didn't hold back as he said, "Not to mention, I wasn't the one that slaughtered the armies of the other kingdoms, so what are you planning on doing about that?"

No one said a word in response to this.

The former General Gardner ended by saying, "You think that the other kingdoms are that easy to fool? If you want to appease them, you'll have to send the one who actually did all of this."

After saying this, his eyes fell onto me.
