"Quiet!" Uther shouted loudly, and all the applause came to an abrupt end with Uther's burst of shouting. Watching the scene restore order, Uther turned his head and said to the recorder, "Record Guilty plea filed by Paladin Fording."
"Demand Commander Saidan Dathrohan to come forward and provide testimony!" Following Uther's instruction, Saidan Dathrohan walked onto the witness stand alternately, and after looking at his old friend , Dathrohan could only give Fording a sad look...he didn't want to see this scene either!
"Commander Dathrohan, please provide your testimony and explain to the court in detail what you know about this matter!"
Dathrohan coughed lightly, straightened his back and looked at the judge and jury at the height, and said with serious eyes, "About three months ago, I was invited by the Holy Knight Fording to participate in the investigation of the orcs fleeing near Hearthglen. Sweeping, the one who is now in prison, Paladin Fording disappeared for a while during this operation, and later declared that all the orcs near Hearthglen have been wiped out... The above is my testimony..."
The integrity of the paladin prevented Saidan Dathrohan from lying here, but he still inadvertently saw that he favored his friend, and his words were full of evasion, without mentioning this incident at all.
After listening to Dathrohan's testimony, Uther looked at the people nearby, and then asked loudly, "Can anyone guarantee that Commander Dathrohan's testimony is correct?"
As soon as Uther finished speaking, Barthilas, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up, raised his hand and said excitedly, "I can! I can! I was there at the time, and I also witnessed the paladin Fordring attacked the Alliance soldiers, trying to free this orc!"
Everyone could hear the sarcasm in the paladin's tone when he mentioned his boss, 'Paladin Fording'.
Uther waved his hand and signaled Dathrohan to go down, and Barthilas would come on stage to give testimony...
Dathrohan, who walked off the witness stand, and Basilas, who walked into the witness stand, passed by. His burning eyes...
However, when he saw someone sitting on top of the jury, Barthilas felt his body full of confidence once again, ignoring Dathrohan's murderous sight, Barthilas stood calmly on the witness stand...
"State your testimony, Paladin Barthilas!" Uther's voice was a little cold, obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with this paladin... not because he took Fording to court, but because he Fording's contemptuous tone!
Barthilas lacked respect for his superiors, which made Uther very dissatisfied... Regardless of whether he was guilty or not, Fording should be respected as Paladin Fording, not the kind of obvious mockery sarcastic.
"Yes! As Commander Dathrohan said, I also participated in the previous siege. After Paladin Fording disappeared, it was our people who brought him back. After he declared that the orcs near Hearthglen had been wiped out, We took people to inspect the side again and found this monster hidden by Fording! After Fording learned of this, he fought against our people in an attempt to protect this dirty monster!"
Barthilas' testimony pointed at the vital point, like a sharp spear, piercing Fording's chest... After stating the testimony, Barthilas pointed at Fording who was standing in the dock not far from him. Ding raised his eyebrows, and continued with a sneer, "He obviously has an agreement with this orc. I already knew that this guy had a conspiracy. Even before I set off to capture that monster, I had a feeling that this despicable traitor was Unreliable!"
"Shut up!" Uther yelled loudly, his gray beard seemed to be trembling, his fingers pinching the document creaked the document in his hand, Uther took a deep breath, and stared at Barthilas , said solemnly, "Paladin Barthilas, you should learn to respect! I know this man. More than once we have saved each other's lives, I can't remember how many times, we insisted on victory in the face of the enemy. No matter what he did What, he should never be judged illogically by a person like you."
Faced with Uther's reprimand, Barthilas' face instantly turned pale. It's okay to offend Dathrohan, after all, he is covered by someone above him, but he offended Uther, the person above him... Not being able to cover oneself is one thing, being willing to cover oneself is another matter~
Among the paladins, Uther is so influential. As the benchmark of paladins, Uther is the leader and role model of all paladins... This is all right, Barthilas feels that he is about to suffer...
Ashes not far away looked flustered, and the pale Barthilas laughed while clutching his stomach, and jokingly said to the Fireproof Woman and Clara beside him, "Do you know what this guy did? Let me give you an example~ This guy is like an intern. During a meeting, he raised the CEO's teacup from the chairman's crotch and threw it in the face of his immediate boss! No way...I want to laugh died!"
Uther drank back with an ugly face, Barthilas who stood there like an eggplant beaten by frost, then turned his head, looked at Fording, and said lightly, "Paladin Fording, what do you have to say about this?" Did you defend yourself?"
Fording nodded at Uther, raised his head, looked at the jury and the judge who were staring at him, and said slowly, "Yes, I have...I admit everything he said, I did cover the orc, but... please don't call him a monster or a beast, his name is Eitrigg! He saved my life, and in return I made him my promise, as a saint Knight, I will also protect his life. He values honor as much as the opponents I have faced before, and he is by no means a beast without a sense of honor!"
Saying this, Fording knelt down slowly, before the judge and the jury, "As a paladin, as a paladin loyal to the alliance, I am disqualified! I will never deny this, but I will never deny it." I have never betrayed the Holy Light, and I have never betrayed my glory! I am willing to accept all punishments against me, and I have no complaints..."
Uther glanced at his companion in relief, then turned around and strode towards the judge and jury...
A group of people started a heated discussion there, but everyone can see that this group of people is definitely favoring Fording...
snort!I belong to judges, juries, prosecutors and witnesses, and even the onlookers. Why do you think you can sue me and win?You count that little cabbage?
This is the most suitable sentence to describe Fording's situation now, of course ~ Fording is a real gentleman, he will not say such words!Although... that's what it is.
Chapter 685 Unyielding and Exiled (Monthly Pass Plus)
Not long after, the judge and jury ended the discussion, and everyone had expressions of expectation and relief on their faces. Although they didn't know what the specific outcome of their discussion was, anyway, Fording's treason Sin is impossible...
Bosses attacking subordinates, in the continent of Azeroth where the judiciary is not yet rigorous, to be honest, it’s just a matter of one sentence~ You can say that the subordinates are disobedient, and it’s okay to say that he is not pleasing to the eye, so this matter is fundamental no problem~
As for protecting the orc Eitrigg, it would be better to explain it. As a paladin, Fording was rescued by Eitrigg, felt his noble spirit, and made a promise to him, and the paladins are all one An honest and trustworthy young man who keeps his word and promises!Fording did this for the sake of glory and compliance with the paladin's code...
After all, killing a savior, even if he is an orc, is an act of contempt in the eyes of the paladins...
All in all, this matter can be big or small. If it is a big one, Fording can be executed directly on the charge of treason. If it is a small one, it is a simple apology, and I promise everyone that it will be over if it doesn’t happen in the future. ~
And the most interesting thing is that everyone present... except for Barthilas, hope that this matter can be reduced to a minor one... so the result of the judgment is naturally obvious...
Under the expectation of everyone, Uther came back again, watching Fording nodded slightly, but the expression on his face was unexpectedly solemn...
"Paladin Fording! Everyone here understands your courage and courage, as well as the justice in your heart! This court also fully recognizes the credit you have made for the protection of Lordaeron and the alliance all the year round But even so... it is very dangerous to join forces with the enemy, even if he has human nature! In order to protect that orc, you took a lot of risks, and even relied on your personal guess and willfulness to gamble the entire fireplace The safety of the valley and even the alliance! Considering your contribution, this court is going to offer you an amnesty...as long as you revoke your oath to that orc...as long as you swear to be loyal to the alliance! Re-recognize your obligation to the alliance, You will be released without charge!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the verdict. What a lenient trial it was... For others, such a result is basically equivalent to acquittal.
But Clara, who was sitting in the auditorium, frowned slightly, and said seriously, "It's not good... With Fording's character, it is impossible for him to give up his vows."
Clara knew that Fording would not agree easily, and as Fording's colleague, friend and partner, Uther certainly knew this too...
After hearing the results of Uther's trial, Fording slowly raised his head and looked at Uther, who had a serious face, but there was a faint pleading look in his eyes. After a moment of silence, Fording slowly He asked, "What will happen to Eitrigg's, Uther..."
The expression on Uther's face froze slightly. Although he had expected this, Uther still felt helpless when Fording really put this question in front of him...
"He will be executed! No matter whether he has glory or not, no matter whether he has humanity or not, his essence is an invader who invaded Azeroth. We have no reason to let him go. His death is a matter of course! What is your answer, Tirion?"
Fording lowered his head gently, as if he was beginning to recall something, like his family, like past glory, but no matter what it was, these memories became an important factor in deciding his answer...
Raising his head again, Fording looked at the stage, looking forward to his own sight, at Dathrohan who was full of anxiety, at Uther who was still expressionless, and at... sitting in the corner, spared Ashes of interest...
Clearing his throat, Fording turned his attention to the jury, saying that the jury was actually all the leaders of various high positions in the alliance...
Looking at these powerful people who can fully represent the alliance, Fording knelt on the ground and said sincerely, "I will still guarantee my loyalty to the alliance until the day I die. There is no doubt about it!"
As soon as Fording finished speaking, cheers from mountains and tsunami came from the venue, but Ashes and the others couldn't laugh... They could guess that Fording would say that, and his loyalty to the alliance is simply a testament to the sun and the moon ~
but…
Before the cheers were over, Fording suddenly continued to speak, looked at everyone seriously, and said sincerely, "But I will not overturn my past oath, even if the object is an orc! Doing so will make me abandon everything I have, Abandoning my glory, abandoning my holiness, that's the only thing I can't do!"
The cheers stopped abruptly, and Uther closed his eyes slowly. This result can be said to be the worst result of the current situation, and it is also the result he expected, which will almost certainly happen now...
Everyone was silent about it, but Barthilas laughed at this moment, very softly, so happy, so... annoying!
