The City of Silver was fearful of the Order Army that had barged into the city. At this point, everyone understood that their forces had been annihilated. Not only did most of the professionals die in battle, but even the two men with the greatest authority in the City of Silver had perished.
At this time, everyone was like a partridge, mournfully hiding in a corner. Lin Xiao and Ge Da had been preaching about the atrocities of Order since a long time ago. In countless declarations, Order had become the evil party. Therefore, after the city was breached, everyone was worried about their own safety.
However, the laws set by Chen Feng were still in effect even in the City of Silver. They adhered to the tradition of not violating the rules of the City of Silver. Shortly after, a major event attracted the attention of a lot of ordinary people. In the square one day later, there would be a fair and impartial trial of the former ruler of this city.
The square of the City of Silver was crowded with people.
A day had passed since the unprecedented battle, but the entire city was still shrouded in a strange fiery atmosphere.
Everyone was panicking. After the city was breached, they, their wives, and daughters would face an unimaginable disaster. But in fact, other than a few rebels who were killed on the spot, the fully armed warriors wouldn't lay a hand on the civilians.
What was even more terrifying was that among the so-called human troops, there were many ogres and goblins.
This was the end of the world. Many people had seen those terrifying creatures before. Those creatures had a strong sense of hatred for humans. Every time they appeared, the City of Silver would pay with their lives to annihilate them.
But what was shocking was that the monsters that appeared in the Order Army didn't attack the humans. Instead, they were like real warriors of Order, following behind the main troops and taking over the spoils of war that belonged to them.
Order had completed the integration of the races. At this time, the living beings living in the land of Order weren't only humans, but also ogres, goblins, half-elves, and a few demons and devils.
With his formidable strength, Chen Feng had established order. On the plains of absolute order, all the life-forms there had become the defenders of order.
…
The trial was held at noon, but early in the morning, countless people had already gathered in the square. Those people had complicated expressions on their faces. Some were confused, some were puzzled, and some were even eager and expectant. Their gazes fell on the front of the square, because a high platform had been set up there, and on the high platform were the high-ranking people who used to be high and mighty.
At this time, the bully's identity had been completely reversed. Instead, he had become the one being judged. This undoubtedly piqued the interest of countless people!
Compared to the curious ordinary people, the so-called high-ranking officials looked at the square below in fear. They looked at the untouchables who could only crawl in the mud in fear. They felt that the gazes of the people even contained substantial heat, as if they wanted to burn them alive on the high platform.
Fear was growing.
However, compared to the ordinary people who had been oppressed before, the upper class people who used to be high and mighty began to tremble.
Among them were powerful Professionals, as well as the family members of former high-ranking officials. They had abused their power, and each of them was guilty of crimes worthy of the death penalty.
The sources of this information were not limited to just one source. In addition to the information of some investigators, they had also collected the testimonies of many victims.
"Silence — the public trial will now begin."
The "judge" beside the high platform spoke. Before the apocalypse, this was a real judge. After the apocalypse collapsed, he once doubted the law he had learned, but after Order was established, he found the value of his existence again!
Although compared to the peaceful era, Order had many laws that were not perfect, after all, this was a diverse world. It was not only filled with humans, but also demons, mutated creatures, devils, and even some unimaginable gods!
However, one thing was clear: in order, one would have to pay with one's life for killing someone. Chen Feng had always maintained absolute fairness. All this was based on the premise that regardless of how powerful a professional was, after wantonly killing and bullying someone, one would face imprisonment or even death.
Noticing the judge's signal, a young man in black slowly stood up.
There was a slight commotion in the square immediately. Many people, after familiarizing themselves with each other on this day, knew that this young man was the ruler of Order, and also the man who was at the top of the forces behind the City of Silver.
Many people were amazed by his strength and youth.
"The public trial begins!"
With Chen Feng's words, the public trial truly began.
The public trial was not as responsible as the people thought. A long time ago, the crimes of these people had been sorted out. The so-called trial at this time was just a compilation of their crimes!
Embezzlement of the people's property, killing innocent lives, deceiving the people. … Following that, one after another, the higher-ups that everyone was familiar with and unfamiliar with were brought up on stage. There were even many victims who personally testified, and the veil that the higher-ups were wearing was lifted one layer after another.
People watched the trial with a strange emotion. They couldn't wait to see those high-ranking officials executed because it was a real way to vent their anger. However, with some of the victims screaming and testifying at the top of their lungs, many people's emotions had changed.
They thought of their miserable lives, as well as the various darkness they had experienced under oppression. The apocalypse was scarier than they imagined. Some men, in order to protect the lives of their entire family, even had to personally send their wives to the residence of the so-called "experts". And the next day, when the men went to retrieve their wives, their wives' eyes were already empty. Be it their bodies or souls, they had been severely injured!
Some people said that this was an era where there was no need for dignity!
Others said that this was an era where death could happen at any time!
There were even people who said that compared to everything else, it was better to be alive!
But now, when the crimes of these higher-ups were uncovered bit by bit, wasn't it a form of affirmation for ordinary people?
Chen Feng affirmed the fact that they had been wronged and bullied. Grief and anger intertwined. At this moment, the eyes of countless people turned red. They were like angry hungry wolves as they cast their gazes on the bodies of the people being judged.
They didn't just want to vent their anger or take revenge. They wanted justice.
This was the hardest thing for commoners to obtain in this world.
At the top of the square, Chen Feng had been observing the proceedings of the trial.
Chen Feng knew the outcome of these people. From the very beginning, these people's lives had already come to an end.
Just like how the bullied only wanted affirmation and justice, to Chen Feng, these people were like malignant tumors of the faction. Chen Feng wasn't sure if these malignant tumors would be contagious. Therefore, with his conservative personality, from the moment he decided to fuse the City of Silver with Order, all the so-called malignant tumors would be removed!
A ruler didn't need pity.
As a ruler who had a population of a million in the past, and after today, this number of people would double. He needed to become more gloomy, colder, and more arbitrary!
Chen Feng had always adhered to his understanding of the apocalypse. Although he was tough, he still had his own moral principles.
