Chapter 123 Roger Is so Brave! (1/2)

A new day, the grand scene of the public trial of the nobles in the square finally ended.

The people who had endured the whole day cheered the names of Roger Charles and the Night Guards and left Fergus City in an orderly manner.

They came with confusion and left with excitement and hope.

Although they didn't know who would rule them next, no matter how bad the new lord was, he would not be worse than the demons like Grand Duke Fergus, right?

If you are a bad person in the future, you will be judged by the Night Guards and will definitely not escape the eyes of Lord Roger!

For the first time, the lower-class people who have been suffering for generations have expectations for the future.

Maybe when the harvest comes this year, everyone can have a full meal at home and add a piece of meat to the children's bowl.

It's better not to starve to death this winter.

Because of the vision of a better future, even after a day and a night of waiting, everyone did not feel tired. The body seemed to have endless energy and just wanted to return to their land and continue farming immediately.

The enthusiasm at this moment was completely different from the previous desperate completion of the lord's taxes and rents, and struggling to perform those corvées.

The next job is to fight for the good they want.

Because Lord Roger promised them that they would have such rights, they deserve to enjoy such a life, and they are willing to believe it.

Because Roger helped them to avenge the great nobles who were bullying them, the people's trust in him has reached the level of the queen.

In the future, this Roger will really have a chance to be called the little queen!

After dealing with the big drama in Fergus City, the Dark Night Guard began to hand over administrative and military power to the governor of the province, and then led the team north to implement the supreme instruction of the commander-in-chief, "How big the empire is, how far we investigate."

However, the biggest winner of this public trial may be the beautiful reporter who gambled her career and paid full-time attention to Roger.

In the eyes of this reporter, Roger did not live up to everyone's expectations. He is really a little expert in making trouble.

After the battle of Fergus Castle, just one day later, Roger made a big scene of public trial of nobles.

And unlike the use of a lot of new technologies to capture the castle, the details must be hidden.

What this public trial needs is to let the nobles and civilians know more, let the people of the empire know that the Night Guard can really restrain and punish the nobles, and there will be no more lawless lunatics in the empire.

So the beautiful reporter can report whatever materials she finds.

For materials that she has not found, the Night Guard also provides a thick reference.

Make sure that she writes the article with detailed content, rich cases, self-consistent logic, and pictures and texts...

In short, an excellent news report, which has been passed down for hundreds of years and selected into literary textbooks, "There is no crime in Fergus City", was born.

With the publication of "Long Live the Queen", this article and what happened in Fergus City are known to everyone in the imperial capital.

Everyone's first reaction is:

How dare Roger?

The light-speed victory of Fergus Castle shocked the people of the empire, and the streets were hotly discussed. The nobles felt cold in their backs and marveled at the power of the Night Guard.

When the noble trial in Fergus City happened, the people of the empire were shocked and speechless, and they couldn't even say a word of evaluation.

The people accused, the sentencing was based on the crime, and the nobles were judged on the spot. After this series of operations, everyone was dumbfounded, okay?

Not to mention that there has been no such thing since the founding of the empire, even if everyone searched their memories, recalled history books, and relived the legends heard from the streets and alleys, there has never been such an operation.

The most exaggerated bard would not compile such an outrageous story, because no one dared to believe it.

But it happened to be published in the "Long Live the Queen". The beautiful author wrote with a unique brushstroke that was detached from the present world and ten generations of sentimentality, depicting the scene of hundreds of thousands of people in Fergus City rushing to report, and then the heads of nobles rolling.

The magic photos of the scene, the reactions of different people, Roger Charles walked into the rain to call on the people to expose, these scenes are incredible and detailed, and everyone can't help but believe it!

People didn't know about Fergus City before, but many people believed that after this trial, there was really no crime here.

Because those guys who were extremely evil and full of evil have gone to hell where they should have gone long ago!

The southern nobles of the Free Principality Alliance, starting from Grand Duke Fergus, committed countless crimes and were all beheaded.

And they were tortured before their death, and all their past crimes were exposed by the people.

These demons who abused their power finally paid the price for their past dirty deeds, instead of pretending that nothing had happened according to the tradition of the nobles in the past, and even showing off what they had done at the banquet.

This is a good thing that makes people applaud, but the imperial people of this era will immediately doubt whether such a good thing is really possible in this world?

In the past Eternal Night World, there were only nobles who failed in coups and wars, and there were no nobles who were beheaded for crimes against the people.

Now, the era when the nobles were high and mighty seems to be over?

In the name of the Queen of Eternal Night, Roger Charles led the wolf-like Dark Night Guards and successfully implemented the creed that nobles who broke the law were guilty of the same crime as the common people.

The officials, magicians, and civilians of the empire were so shocked that they were speechless, not to mention the nobles who had done similar things.

"What the hell, is Roger really going to do something so ruthless?"

"Won't the Queen take care of him?"

"He is also a nobleman. If he treats those low-class people like this, won't they rebel in the future?"

The nobles were not just feeling cold, but a bucket of cold water poured down on them in the coldest days of winter, chilling them from head to toe!

At the same time, they couldn't help but curse at Roger and collectively attack him.

From the perspective of the nobles, Roger had completely forgotten that he was also a nobleman. Was he standing on the same side as those peasants, trying to ignite their emotions and overthrow the rule of the nobles?

Is this kid seriously ill? Publicly trying the crimes of the nobles, is this something a normal person can do?

No, Roger himself would definitely not dare to do things so drastically.

This must be the instruction of the Queen of Eternal Night. Only with her approval, the Dark Night Guard dared to do such a shocking thing.

But although everyone cursed, it was only in their own homes, or among relatives and friends. No noble dared to collectively attack Roger in public, asking him to be expelled or something...

The nobles have already seen clearly that His Majesty and Roger have been in the same group for a long time.

Maybe on the day of the celebration, he was just trying to trick them!

Even today, even if they united again to oppose Roger, no matter how many reasons they gave, it would not have any substantial effect.

Maybe it would just give others a handle and bring disaster upon themselves!

Moreover, the power of the nobles was weaker than ever before.

At this time, the number of nobles who had fled accounted for one-third of the total number of the empire, and the southern noble cluster had just been bloodbathed again.

The remaining power of the noble class was weakened by more than half compared to the night of the triumphal celebration.

After all, the bigger the nobles, the more confident they were that night, the more violent the trouble, and the more worried they were about the settlement of the Queen of the Eternal Night afterwards...

Among the remaining nobles, a considerable proportion of the royalists and the emerging nobles who were absolutely loyal to the Queen of the Eternal Night must be excluded.

As one thing grows stronger, the other loses. The power that the noble class can unite is pitifully small, and it is impossible to repeat the grand occasion of collectively asking for the Queen's submission at the triumphal celebration.

The weakness and disunity of the noble class were undoubtedly exposed in the face of the imperial power that showed its butcher knife.

At the critical moment, there is no such thing as huddling together for warmth and working together. All that is left is to show off one's own skills to save one's life.

But now the remaining nobles are also a little embarrassed.

It seems that it is too late to run away. Grand Duke Fergus has also demonstrated that asking for independence is self-destruction.

The best choice seems to be to unconditionally follow the leadership of the Queen, but the existence of the Dark Night Guard makes everyone worried that they are not clean under their butts.

Although not as happy as Grand Duke Fergus, everyone knows very well what they have done, and it is not far from the standard of death penalty.

In the past, there was no restraint, and absolute power in the territory bred absolute corruption.

Now if the Dark Night Guard continues to investigate and continue to liquidate, I am afraid that in the end, only a few noble family heads will be left to live intact in the empire.

Great fear and haze shrouded the remaining nobles of the empire, and the bigger they are, the more panicked they are.

The trick of the Dark Night Guard to instigate the people to report the lords directly ignites the hatred of the people, which makes them feel that a batch of swords may fall on their heads at any time.

Death may not be the most terrible thing.

The most terrible thing is that Roger Charles did not hold a secret trial, but arranged for hundreds of thousands of people to gather, expose all the ugly behaviors of these nobles, and then sentenced them on the spot.

As long as the order of going on stage is controlled well, the nobles will not only face their shameful things being made public, but also suffer all kinds of torture and endure the ridicule and abuse of the people, so that they can get the relief of death.

Such a public trial is not a simple death, it is also accompanied by social death, and the infamy will remain in the history books forever.

After this set of combined punches, the noble class can be said to have lost both face and substance.

No matter how prominent the nobles are, as long as they commit crimes, they will become a joke that the people will deal with at will.

In this way, the respect and fear of the people of the empire for the nobles will be greatly reduced.

The so-called noble blood will die if the head falls off, and there is nothing particularly extraordinary about it~

From the perspective of the strategic layout of promoting the Oath of Glory, this public trial of the nobles is a very successful move.

It uses the most intuitive and exciting means to let the people of the empire see the power of the emperor, the Queen of the Eternal Night loves the people like her own children, and the nobles who are high above have all retired.

The future will be the era of the common people.

Under the protection of the Queen of the Eternal Night, even the most ordinary civilians have the right to realize their dreams through labor. This is a dream that everyone dared not think of before.

But in the eyes of the nobles, this public trial can be said to directly open their hell mode.

In the past, most nobles relied on not being tried, and acted recklessly and lawless.

Now someone has finally settled the absurd things they have done, and used absolute torture and capital punishment to deter future generations from making the same mistakes again, otherwise the Dark Night Guard will never show mercy.

Of course, the Dark Night Guard will not make things out of nothing. For some good nobles who treat their subjects well and have not been reported by anyone, Roger will never impose charges without reason, but will temporarily detain them and let the Queen of the Eternal Night make subsequent judgments.

When reporting yesterday, there were also civilians at the scene who made things out of nothing and tried to frame a certain noble.

But with magicians acting as lie detectors, it is impossible for ordinary people to succeed in such insidious operations.

The methods of the Dark Night Guards may seem bloody, but they also try to ensure fairness, and every noble gets the trial they deserve.

Roger did not look at the nobles with an innately guilty eye.

He understood that any class or group was complex.

There were extremely evil people among them, but there were also good people, or people who were good at politics and managed their territories in an orderly manner.

Although these people participated in the Free Principality Alliance, in theory, they were deprived of all land and property to plant trees in the desert.

However, when the empire was in need of people, Roger had the intention of recruiting scholars through imperial examinations, but the problem was that the basic education in the empire was too poor, and there were very few civilians who had received a complete education.

To be an official, at least you have to be able to read documents and reports, right?

In this case, it is impossible for the imperial examination to select enough administrative officials from the civilians.

The fastest speed can only be filled by the nobles.

This is also the reason why Roger asked the Queen of Eternal Night how many to kill.

In theory, a balance should be found to give the nobles enough threats while ensuring that this group can provide enough administrative officials to ensure a more efficient operation of the empire under the oath of honor.

But the Queen of Eternal Night didn't care. She supported Roger to judge all the guilty nobles, to be fair, just and open, and to make all their crimes public.

This was her confidence and her courage. She was fully prepared for the empire to bleed heavily to complete this self-detoxification.

However, Roger gradually understood the confidence of the Queen of Eternal Night. The nobles he considered before were only those who had titles and inherited the family.

But the aristocratic class of the Queen of Eternal Night included lords of all sizes and their children and relatives.

Most of the lords were evil and lawful, but their brothers and descendants, because they could not control so many rights, greatly reduced the probability of crime.

Or, they didn't have time to commit crimes.

Most of these people have received a considerable degree of education. As long as they are willing to make a glorious oath, they have a chance to become the pillars needed by the empire.

Roger led the Dark Night Guard all the way north. What happened in the south has not only spread within the empire, but also shocked the surrounding countries.

Xia Di Veronica: "The relationship between Roger and the Queen of Eternal Night is probably deeper than I expected, and it's not easy to deal with!"

Princess Tashika: "Lord Charles is still so powerful and kind. This time he still stands by his people!"

Duke of Nankanedun: "This empire is crazy, this queen is crazy, and she is torturing the nobles like this, and she will definitely suffer!"

The Duke was very glad that he ran fast enough, otherwise he would definitely be targeted by the Dark Night Guards, and the fruit would be very bitter.

And now, he brought his own food and came to the camp of the new orc king under the protection of his retainers.

After informing his name and purpose, the king agreed to meet him.

"I knew this was a good opportunity to turn over!"

Duke of Nankanedun confidently entered the tent in the center, and then saw the orc king who unified many tribes.

Why is it a woman?

And this woman looks familiar?

Princess Tashika: "Lord Duke of Nankanedun, we meet again."

Again?

A thunderbolt suddenly flashed through the Duke of Nancanton's heart, and he finally remembered something...
