"You're too rash! Your Excellency Fangzheng!! "
After returning to his room, Fangzheng hadn't even sat down when he saw Augland rush in angrily, glaring at him with a displeased look.
"Can't you see that those people are doing it on purpose?"
"Of course, I can see that. But what they said makes sense, don't they?"
Fangzheng remained calm in the face of Oglan's questioning. Not only that, but he also took a cup of tea from Cui and took a sip. Then, he gazed at this aggressive young lady with a spurious smile.
"Or do you have other ideas?"
"Of course we have other ideas! We can put this matter aside and send someone to discuss with the higher-ups … "
"But I'm not interested in wasting my time on this stupid matter."
Fangzheng interrupted Oglan and shrugged his shoulders.
"This kind of argument doesn't benefit me at all. In fact, I should be thanking them … Yes, if it weren't for them, I wouldn't know what to do …"
"Do you really understand what you're saying?"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, Oglan rolled her eyes helplessly.
"You're going to have a holy trial with them!"
"Of course I know. Don't treat me like an illiterate person."
Fangzheng had transmigrated to this world for a long time, so it was impossible for him not to know about the existence of the holy trial. To put it bluntly, it was similar to the judicial duels in the Middle Ages. When both sides had their own arguments and both sides were in the right, this method would be used to carry out the judgment in front of the Goddess of Order. Of course, with the development of the current situation, the holy trial had become more of a way to resolve disputes between two forces. After all, in this world, the one with the bigger fist had the final say …
The holy trial was divided into a team competition and an individual competition.
The team competition was limited to five people from each side and only those below the Legendary Stage were allowed to participate. As for the individual competition, there were no restrictions and anyone could participate. Both sides would be divided into two rounds. If one side won and one side lost, then each side would be punished 50 times. However, if they won both rounds, then they would become the winner of the Holy Judgment Ceremony.
Most importantly, the winning side could make a request to the losing side that did not violate the principles of justice and accepted norms.
Due to this reason, the Holy Verdict was considered a rather important duel ceremony for both sides. One had to know that even if the winner asked the loser to crawl on the ground and bark like a dog, the loser would still have to comply. If they didn't do it, they would lose their credibility in the future.
But if he did, he would also become a laughingstock …
Not to mention, not just anyone had the right to initiate the Holy Judgement. Only the leader of a force or organization had the right to do so. A simple noble or commoner had no right to initiate such a request.
As the commander of the Seventh Fleet, Vice Admiral John naturally had such qualifications. As the leader of the Tendo Temple, Fangzheng was the same.
But for Oglan, she was really worried!
Even though the Holy Verdict Ceremony needed to be notarized and there were so many witnesses, the Country of Fire and Country of Wealth definitely wouldn't dare to play any tricks. But this time, they had brought along a lot of powerful beings, so it was too easy for them to find five people.
But on Fangzheng's side … It seemed like there were only girls!
Of course, Oglan knew that Hecate was powerful, but their strength definitely exceeded the Legendary Stage. But what puzzled her was that Tilia, who used to be by Fangzheng's side, didn't come along this time. As for the others … Yes, it wasn't that Oglan looked down on the girls. But in her opinion, no matter how talented these kids were, they wouldn't be a match for the experienced powerful beings …
Even if they didn't need to worry about the individual competition, what about the group competition?
The Holy Verdict Ceremony didn't stop at a certain point. In other words, as soon as one was injured or killed in a duel, one could only suffer in silence.
"So, from the looks of it, you don't seem to trust my children?"
"Isn't that a given?"
Oglan crossed her arms and stared at Fangzheng in dissatisfaction.
"They're still kids. Can't you find someone more reliable? If you don't have enough manpower for the group competition, why don't you let our Platinum Family do it? "
"I appreciate your concern, but there's no need for that."
Facing Oglan's suggestion, Fangzheng shook his head. Upon seeing Fangzheng's reply, Oglan stomped her foot angrily.
"Really … Hmph. You don't know how to appreciate my kindness! You have to win, or else we'll lose all our face because of you! "
After finishing his sentence, Augland turned around and stormed out of the room in a huff. Then, he slammed the door shut.
"Really …"
Looking at the tightly shut door, Fangzheng shook his head helplessly. At this time, Bushi Cui, who was standing at the side, timidly raised her hand.
"B-Big Brother, I want to participate!"
"Good. Then, including you, Cui, who else?"
"I want to participate too, Big Brother Fangzheng."
Along with this voice, Tina jumped into the room through the window silently with a gun on her back. Lan Yuanyuan and Yan Zhu stood beside her. Lan Yuanyuan waved her hand and gestured a victory sign.
"Of course, I won't miss this opportunity!"
"Me too, Big Brother Fangzheng."
Xia Shi also stood up from the side and raised his small hand.
"It was Big Brother Fangzheng who saved our lives. Now, it's time for us to fight for Big Brother Fangzheng. Even if we have to sacrifice our lives, we won't hesitate."
"I didn't bring you all here for you to die in vain."
Looking at the girls in front of him, Fangzheng extended his hand with a smile and stroked their tiny heads.
"But … you all do need to experience the strength of the powerful beings in this world. Yes … this is a good opportunity. But, I do need insurance … "
At this thought, Fangzheng closed his eyes and communicated with the mental models of Hai Wu who were strolling around outside.
"You've seen what happened today. I need someone to help me. Who's willing?"
"I-I'm willing to help, Big Brother …"
What Fangzheng didn't expect was that the first one to respond to him was actually the gentle unicorn. But after some consideration, Fangzheng ruled her out. After all, this child's appearance … was indeed not suitable for battle.
Shortly after, another person stepped forward.
"It's a maid's duty to clear obstacles for her master."
Belfast, huh?
Gazing at the young lady in a maid costume who appeared before him, Fangzheng couldn't help but ponder. Indeed, if it were Belfast … Hmm, but they didn't seem to be strong enough. If it were possible, he would have chosen Rodney and Musashi. But their battle styles were too exaggerated and Fangzheng was afraid that they would accidentally sink Golden Bay. That would be troublesome.
But as Fangzheng was about to make his decision, suddenly, another voice sounded from the side.
"Commander, I've come from a faraway place at your call …"
This is …
Upon hearing this voice, Fangzheng was taken aback. He gazed at the young lady who appeared silently and Fangzheng's eyes glinted.
