As soon as Count Amelia returned to the mansion from the palace, he summoned Lieutenant General Uriah urgently.

-

In the luxurious study room.

Lieutenant General Uriah rushed over, saluted and asked, "Sir, are you looking for me?"

Saw the other person coming.

Count Amelia walked out from behind the desk immediately, and then told all the blonde maids in the room to get out. After closing the door, he walked up to Lieutenant General Uriah and asked in a low voice, " Now, how is the situation with the Brave Team?"

"Don't worry, sir, they are still being held on death row and there are no unusual circumstances."

"That's good. After three days, they will all die. But the brave team is very strong. Even if they wear magic suppressors, there is no guarantee that they will not jump over the wall...so I want you to lead the team in person and increase the number of people. Guard the troops and we must not let these five treasonous criminals escape the justice of the law!"

"Okay, I will obey your order. Your subordinates will deploy immediately and personally lead the heavy troops to guard them closely. They will never be allowed to escape."

"Do the five traitors know the news about their families?"

"The death row is tightly guarded and the information is blocked. They probably don't know yet, otherwise they will definitely try to escape. With their strength, it would be really difficult to trap them on death row alone."

"Then continue to take advantage of this information gap and make them submit obediently. Remember... as long as they are completely beheaded on the execution ground, you and I will be a miracle worker and a great hero who saves the kingdom. We will be appreciated by His Majesty." If you are promoted to a high position, you will be promoted quickly..., so you must be careful, because what you are guarding is not the heads of those five people, but all your future prospects, glory and wealth! On the contrary, if they run away under your nose, even if It’s me, but I can’t protect you when the time comes, do you understand?”

"Yes! Don't worry, sir. If they want to escape, they will have to step over my body, Uriah."

"That's good, go ahead and do it."

Count Amelia waved his hand with satisfaction, indicating that Lieutenant Uriah could leave.

The latter said goodbye and left.

……

Inside the dark and damp death cell, there was a stench everywhere, mixed with a lot of accumulated old excrement, rotting corpses of rats and cockroaches, and various inexplicable but indescribable pungent odors.

Ellis and the other five people have been locked up here for several days.

There was no sunlight and only the flickering candlelight in the cell environment, which made their days feel like years and made them feel tortured.

They were held in five cells respectively, and the food they ate every day was a sticky mess made of unknown materials. The magician Sally had difficulty swallowing it several times and retched, so she looked haggard. Several years old.

In addition, their family members have been imprisoned in a certain death row, and their lives and deaths are unknown. This news weighs heavily on their hearts, making them even more anxious, tossing and turning, and mentally and physically exhausted.

Ellis stood at the door of the cell, shouting to the corridor outside from time to time.

"Hey!!! What do you want to do with us!!!"

however.

No matter how much he shouted, no one would respond to him in the empty corridor, only the echo of the shouts that seemed to reach the end.

"Damn! Mad, why, why on earth is this!!!——"

He banged his fists on the cell wall frantically, feeling anxious and anxious.

If I wasn't worried about my family's safety.

He really wanted to break free from the shackles and burn this damned and stinking death cell into rubble.

Staying in this kind of death row where he can't even feel the passage of time feels even more difficult than when he was on Tata Mountain.

It’s okay if you’re having a hard time.

But when he thought that his family and parents might still be in the same environment, suffering such inhuman treatment and torture, he went crazy.

-

at this time.

The footsteps of many people suddenly sounded in the corridor outside. Before Ellis could get over to take a look, the figure of Lieutenant General Uriah appeared in front of him. As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Ellis's eyes instantly became fierce, and he wanted to tear his heart into pieces.

Lieutenant General Uriah, however, stood across the cell, admiring his desolate appearance with a condescending attitude. He even raised a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth and greeted, "Hey, our brave man, how have you been doing recently?" Is it pretty good?"

"Uriah! What do you want?"

"Don't look at me with that fierce look. I'm here today to tell you good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Fuck you, you are killing innocent people indiscriminately, enriching your own pockets, framing good people, and showing no conscience. You are simply not worthy of being a human being!"

"Well, that's a good scolding. If you continue to scold me, you will humiliate the soldiers of the kingdom and your crime will be increased."

"Hahaha... you are worthy of being a soldier of the Kingdom!"

Ellis was going crazy now.

Perhaps it was the high-intensity training in the Tata Mountain battle, or the double mental and physical torture after being imprisoned on death row for many days, that made him look more and more like a ferocious beast in the dark, exuding a wave of energy. It makes people feel the cold and terrifying dangerous atmosphere.

Lieutenant General Uriah was not angry either, and just said calmly.

"In any case, the evidence is conclusive that you betrayed the kingdom and took refuge with the Dragon Clan, so you'd better listen to the two pieces of news I brought you..."

"What tricks do you want to play? Just say it! It's so pretentious and disgusting!"

"Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Listen to your code!"

"Then let me tell you the bad news first. As warriors of the kingdom, you do not want to serve the country, but instead you are tempted by the enemy country. You are willing to fall, collude with the enemy country, and betray the country for glory. It is really an unpardonable crime! Now... , the king has ordered that in three days, you five traitors will be punished and beheaded in public to warn the world."

Ellis's pupils shrank and he was stunned for a moment.

What surged in my heart was no longer anger, but infinite sadness and chilling.

It's funny how many times he was full of passion, hoping to serve the country and leave his name in history. However..., what he got now was such a miserable end, jailed, falsely accused of being a thief, and sentenced to a canon..., Finally, he was beheaded in public as a warning to the world.

What happened to the Nolan Kingdom?

What about being fair and just and knowing everything?

however……

Why did he see all the ugly side of bureaucratic collusion, frame-up, and villain gaining power?

Is the Nolan Kingdom going to rise or fall? ! ! …

-

Vice Admiral Uriah continued to speak with some pride.

"But don't be too sad. I still have a piece of good news that I haven't said yet."

"Asshole, you have done all the bad things, and you will not end well!"

"His Majesty the King is kind and generous. Considering that you, as brave men, have made great contributions to the kingdom, he has exempted your family from all culpability and allowed your family to stay out of the matter. The death penalty will be removed, the title will be removed, and you will be demoted to Civilians. - All the blame will be borne by one of you."

"what?"

"Why, don't you understand? The meaning is very simple. As long as you accept the punishment of law and justice, you will die, but your family can regain their freedom and leave safely."

"Are you serious about this?"

"The king's order is supreme. I, Uriah, dare not falsely pass on the king's order. However, if you dare to rebel again and do things that cause trouble to the kingdom, all your family members will be implicated and beheaded immediately. No one will be spared." ! So, Ellis..., as His Majesty said, one person does things and one person is responsible. Do you want to trade your own life for the lives of the whole family? Or do you choose to sacrifice the lives of the whole family in order to protect your own life? "

Lieutenant General Uriah's words immediately made Ellis extremely painful.

He retreated tremblingly, and sat down on the cold stone bed in the corner with a haggard look. His eyes gradually dimmed and lost all their luster.

See him like this.

Lieutenant General Uriah smiled disdainfully and said leisurely, "In short, I have brought all the words to you. Between the two, which is more important, you can weigh it yourself. Don't blame us for being ruthless..., if you want to blame us, just blame us. Can you blame yourselves... who made you really collude with the dragon clan, and even have the dragon clan's guest order in the ring? This is a complete capital crime, and you can't escape it."

That's all for this.

Lieutenant Uriah left.

Ellis was left alone in this cold and damp cell, and his heart gradually became cold and dead.

"Father..., mother..., sister..."

When he thought of his relatives who were suffering, he felt extremely regretful at the moment, why he had accepted such a task in the first place.

At first...

Why……

Why don't you listen to the advice and dissuasion of the old dean, Grandpa Hawthorne? Otherwise, things would definitely not turn into what they are today.

Could it be that they...

Is he really going to die in such a humiliating way on the execution platform of his own kingdom?

or.

If they had known it would turn out like this, they might as well have died on Tata Mountain completely, and they would not have been treated as traitors after they came back.

he……

Regret! ! ! ——

At this time, why are the four people in other cells in the prison not doing the same?
