Chapter 427: Fall of Gold (11)
The execution was performed publicly.
There could be no more humiliating death for the Plains Faction Demon Lords than this. They had lived their entire lives on the battlefield. To die by the sword of an acknowledged rival was the ideal end they had always aspired to. However, they were being executed in a public square. They could never accept this kind of demise.
I spoke to the Plains Faction Demon Lords who were trembling in shame.
“Of course, compared to Barbatos, the other members of the Plains Faction do not carry such grave sins. Executing all of you might indeed be excessive punishment. So, I will offer a condition.”
“A condition……?”
“Yes. You may call it a judicial deal if you like. Despite everything, I also served Barbatos like the rest of you. I would like to spare you, even if it means using unjust means. I suppose I have a bit too much goodwill in me. It’s a flaw of the heart.”
The mention of a “judicial deal” stirred the air with unease.
Yet Brother Zepar remained unchangingly enraged as he shouted.
“Such blatant trickery……. Don’t make me laugh! Are you not merely trying to make us testify against Her Excellency!?”
