Even in the match against the false Baron, Lothar didn''t feel that way Ridiculous. Yes, when he heard the announcement of his alleged crime and the king''s order to put him to death, the count of black mountain felt as if he had heard a very difficult joke. But this joke made him laugh no matter what, not even with some false curved corners of his mouth.


    "Sir Harold, do you know what you are talking about?" Lothar did not call the other party''s title, but called the name of the Blood Axe Duke. It can be seen that he was really upset by this inexplicable situation.


    The executioner was not in a hurry to respond to Lothar''s questions. Kneeling on one knee, he took out a black silk from his arms. The silk was carefully folded, and its edge was embroidered with complicated patterns of gold thread. Harold III unfolded the silk and spread it on the ground in front of him. Anyone familiar with the style of the executioner''s family knows that this silk has a very different name from its appearance, the executioner''s shroud.


    "Of course I know what I''m talking about, Heishan boy. And I believe, you know, I never joke. So, why don''t we all save each other something? You kneel down here obediently, I will answer you three questions, and pass on your last words to your family or friends. That way, it''s easier for the body maker to mend your body. And you can still sleep with your ancestors. "


    The executioner''s words were clear that if Lothar did not accept the sentence, he might have died less decently. Both the soldiers in black behind Harold and the imperial guards around them have drawn out their weapons and aimed at them.


    "I ask for judgment before the king." Lothar did not ask him what crime he had committed that was serious enough to be executed immediately. He knew that the Great Duke of the blood axe was only the executor of the judgment. Even though Harold himself was not willing, he had to carry out the king''s orders. In this case, Lothar could only think of using the method of pre King trial to delay time.


    As for the specific judgment before the king. In fact, it is easy to explain that, just as the death penalty in every territory is tried before his Lord, every nobleman who is loyal to the secular king has the right to be tried and defend himself before the king. This is to prevent some powerful officials from passing on the king''s will, and at the same time, it is also a kind of protection for the nobles. The king must show a tolerant side, so many times as long as it is not treason such a felony, the nobles tried in front of the king will not be sentenced to death.


    "Very reasonable request." The executioner sighed, "but since your majesty asked me to bring this ax, you should know that he does not want to see you."


    The ax in Harold''s mouth refers to the weapon he has just put aside. This weapon, forged for beheading the nobles, is not only the emblem of the Blood Axe family, but also one of the few weapons that can not be used without the king''s order. In the code of Cangshi Kingdom, there is a law that members of Harold''s family holding a blood axe enjoy the same rights as the king during the execution of his target.


    The big Duke of the Blood Axe stood up from the ground and looked at Lothar, who was supported by Jack, and said.


    "Lothar, I know you grew up with your majesty, but if you think you can escape the trial by that You must have underestimated your majesty. Think of it as one of those three questions. I can tell you that your Majesty gave me the task in person, and he told me that he was disappointed with you


    The count of black mountain, who had been seriously injured in the body, heard this sentence, and his throat was sweet, but he spat out a mouthful of blood! As for Lothar, although he did not express his gratitude to the king, he always respected the king as his father. But now Harold told him that it was the king who ordered him to be executed! How can this keep Rosa from getting excited.


    "Well, I don''t understand. What I did would disappoint him. I have been working hard for this kingdom... " Spit out the blood in the throat, Rosa asked with difficulty. His voice was much weaker than before.


    Harold III looked into Lothar''s eyes with some pity. Even if he was indifferent, he had to admit that the madman from Heishan, a nickname belonging to Lothar, had a high reputation in the aristocratic circle. Although the nobles criticized him for his enthusiasm for war every time he mentioned Lothar, they also had to admit that it was because of Lothar and his bear hunters that the public security situation of Cangshi kingdom was so stable in recent years.


    "That''s the second question." The executioner shook his head slightly, and said, "the most important one of the charges against you is that you have led your troops to withdraw from the black collar where you are stationed. Although we know that this is understandable, it is an indisputable fact that you have violated your Majesty''s orders. "


    Hearing this, Rosa''s face showed a look of extreme doubt.


    "What? But I was ordered by your majesty to withdraw. "


    The count did not finish, but cheese patted him on the shoulder and said at the same time.


    "There seems to be some misunderstanding in it."


    The mage''s words caused Harold''s dissatisfaction. He didn''t know what kind of existence the grey robed young man was in front of him. But he can be sure that cheese is not the aristocrat of Cangshi kingdom. So he began to scold."There''s no place for you to speak, young man."


    In this regard, cheese just tilted his head, he continued.


    "Although I am not familiar with the law of Cang lion. But I think, even in this remote Kingdom, can we allow glory judgment? "


    When the mage finished this sentence, everyone, including the soldiers on the scene, was stunned for a moment. There is no other. The word "glorious trial" is rarely mentioned, just like this kind of trial situation.


    Different from the trial before the king, the trial of glory appeared earlier in the capital of mankind, and this kind of trial was once described as the most barbaric trial situation by other intelligent races. However, perhaps based on the remembrance of the past history, this trial situation is written into the laws of human countries as a kind of symbol, even though it is hardly used.


    The content of the judgment of honor is simple, when all the laws and judgments hold a person guilty. If the man still believes in his innocence, he can ask his friends or blood relatives to represent him against the arbiter sent by the king. As long as the representative person defeats the arbiter in the battle, he is not guilty. But one thing is that there can only be one representative. The number and equipment of arbitrators is determined by the local lord or king, that is, there is no upper limit.


    "Boy, I don''t know what relationship you have with the count of Heishan. However, I would like to warn you that the order to execute the count of Heishan was issued by his majesty. In the name of the Blood Axe Lord of Cangshi Kingdom, I promise that if you want to have a glorious trial, you will be against all the soldiers of Cang lion kingdom here. " Harold III''s expression was very serious. He knew that the grey robed man was not from the Cang lion, but he thought that cheese was just a young man who did not know the heaven and earth.


    The mage put down his hood and looked around the soldiers of the grey lion. It is not impossible to say that there are dozens or even hundreds of guards with lion helmets. Compared with their bright armor and sharp weapons, the robes on cheese and the rags on Jack are so weak.


    But even so, cheese went forward two steps, looked at the executioner in front of him without fear, and said with a sinister smile.


    "So what?"
