“No matter how strict the rules of the Northern Army are, they can’t be greater than the laws of the country!” Kieran Normand, the commander of the Ministry of War, said slowly.

“Commander Normand, the Northern Army has never said that the rules of the Northern Army are greater than the laws of the country!”

Nico Yates refuted Kieran with a single sentence and then drew his sword. Everyone was shocked, thinking that Nico was going to kill Kieran.

“The laws of the country are like the heavens!” Nico shouted coldly, “They cannot be violated!”

He was speaking in a serious tone, and the key point was that he was still holding a sword in his hand.

Instantly, all the officials in the hall were disgusted.

Everyone knew that the people of Northern Army were not good people.

Nico was warning everyone to be careful with their words.

Kieran felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly. He was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he was unable to refute.

There was nothing wrong with Nico’s words!

The laws of the country were like the heavens, sacred and inviolable.

More importantly, this guy was holding a sword and looked murderous, which was like a warning.

Dominic Lowe sighed and said, “Channing Lestrange, as the deputy commander of the Northern Army, went on a killing spree without any reason. He killed ten thousand participants. This matter cannot be suppressed. It will definitely spread throughout the world. The capital has to give an explanation.”

“Killing ten thousand innocent martial artists with a single slash, that’s too much of a crime!” A commissioner said helplessly.

“Deputy Commander Lestrange, you deserve to be executed!” Karson Jacobo, the commissioner of Joronto, said seriously.

“Hundreds of thousands of martial artists witnessed Channing Lestrange’s grave crime with their own eyes. Furthermore, there was no reason for it, and the matter was clear. It shouldn’t take too long for the trial to be completed, and he should be immediately convicted!”

Another commissioner stated honestly.

An old man in the hall closed his eyes to rest. He said slowly, “Channing Lestrange’s crime is unforgivable. He must give the martial artists of the world an explanation with the death penalty. He must tell everyone that he has violated the law of the country, and that the death penalty is unavoidable!”

“If there is favoritism, all the martial artists in the world will follow suit. The special operations teams will not be able to control them.”

“The impact of this matter is too great. There’s no way to delay it. Other than executing Channing Lestrange, there’s no other choice.”

Two commissioners expressed their views.

The people present either did not speak or said that they should kill Channing.

“Your Highness, you’re here!” A deep voice came from the entrance of the hall.

Swoosh!

The hall was silent.

No one spoke.

The commissioners who had just spoken turned pale instantly, and cold sweat trickled down their cheeks.

A youth wearing the Black Dragon Guardian Robe stepped into the hall.

“Greetings, Garrison King!” The officials bowed in unison.

“The deputy commander of the Northern Army, Channing Lestrange, has committed a grave crime today. He ignored the laws of the country and killed ten thousand martial artists with a single strike. I think that three generations of his family should be punished for his crime. Grand Secretary Lowe, don’t you think so?”

Braydon Neal walked on the carpet, and the officials on both sides bowed their heads.

Dominic’s face turned green!

He had a feeling that a disaster was imminent.

The Northern Army elites who had followed Braydon stepped into the hall.

Frediano Jadanza smiled faintly. “Grand Secretary Lowe, feel free to speak. Just now, we were outside the door and heard the heated discussion. Continue the discussion. The people of the Northern Army respect your choice.”

Swoosh!

“The laws of the country are like the heavens. They cannot be violated!” Frediano pulled out the cold sword at his waist and said calmly.

“The law of the country is the prestige of the country. It’s sacred and cannot be violated!”

Westley Hader held the three-foot-long blade in his hand and said indifferently.

Zavier Leach’s eyelids twitched, and his eyes inadvertently looked at the cold sword in Frediano’s hand. He quietly took two steps back and distanced himself from these young people.

Braydon walked to the front with his hands behind his back and stepped onto the steps!

Instantly, the officials’ eyes revealed shock.

Below the court was where the officials stood.

Only the Martial Emperor could step on the stairs and ascend to the platform.

There was a seat on the platform!

The seat was the Emperor’s Throne.

Now, the Emperor’s Throne was empty!

Braydon stepped onto the stairs.

Silence filled the hall.

Everyone looked at Braydon’s thin back. He would reach the Emperor’s Throne after a few more steps.

The Emperor’s Throne belonged solely to Martial Emperor Yanagi!

No one dared to speak.

The Northern Army elites were also looking at their big brother.

After Braydon stepped onto the steps, he stopped halfway and turned around to sit on the steps.

Whoosh!

More than 70% of the people in the hall heaved a sigh of relief.

Braydon sat on the steps. No one dared to make a sound.

This Northern King still had the might of a tiger!

None of the commissioners who had discussed the execution of Channing dared to speak.

In front of the Northern Army’s army commander, who would dare to suggest that Channing be executed?

“Karson Jacobo, step forward!” Braydon said with a light smile.

“Your Highness!” Karson bowed respectfully.

“Channing has committed a crime. Is there any other way besides death?” Braydon asked calmly. “I want Channing to live!”

All the officials in the hall pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Everyone knew what kind of person Karson was. He had always been stubborn, and just now, he insisted that Channing’s crime was unforgivable.

At this moment, basically everyone thought that Karson would still insist on his point of view and offend Braydon.

However, to everyone’s surprise.

Karson raised his hand and looked at Braydon. He didn’t avert his gaze and said, “Amnesty!”

“What?”

Kieran’s expression changed slightly.

Those who could stand in the hall, regardless of gender, were all shrewd people.

What did Karson mean?

Everyone understood!

Amnesty meant pardoning those who had committed crimes and were serving their sentences.

Adding Channing’s name to the list of pardoned criminals was reasonable!

Braydon sat alone on the stairs. He casually took a plate of grapes, plucked one, and threw it to Karson. He smiled lightly. “That is much too ostentatious!”

“The laws of the capital mainly restrict ordinary people. As for the martial artists, they have always been handed over to the governor office to manage. The governor office hands the martial artists over to the five main teams in the world to manage!”

Karson faintly reminded Braydon that regarding Channing’s matter, he could not apply the laws of the capital!

All the martial artists in the world knew that they were under the jurisdiction of the governor office, and the martial artists in various places were under the management of the local special operations team.

Moreover, the methods of punishing martial artists varied from place to place.

Special teams, special punishment!

Vicious martial artists were usually killed on the spot.

But Karson bluntly said, “Many of the laws of the capital can’t be applied to martial artists. Similarly, the criminal law of the governor office can’t be applied to ordinary people!

“For example, ninety years ago, the governor office dealt with a man who committed a grave crime. He was frozen and drowned in the South Sea, where he suffered from extreme cold day and night. He was frozen for a hundred years until he died!

Karson continued.

Kieran, Dominic, and the others were shocked.

This method was feasible!

Because according to this method of punishment, if Channing was an ordinary person and sealed in the sea for a hundred years, he might as well be executed!

Suffering a hundred years of extreme cold at the bottom of the frozen sea was truly worse than death.

To outsiders, which was easier, to be tortured to death for a hundred years or to be executed on the spot?

Comparing the two, which punishment was heavier?
