Chapter 421 - 258: An Old-Timer Wants to See His Grandson_2
"A group of evildoers, daring to impersonate the Royal Family, confess your crimes immediately!"
The Paladin leader showed a stern expression on his face, looking indifferently at the group of Royal Family members before him, some ashen-faced, others excited and hysterical, cursing loudly, and announced on the spot that they were impersonators of the Royal Family.
This has been a tacit understanding reached among various forces during the course of punishing evil and promoting good since the profession of Paladin came into being.
Those identified as evil by the Paladins would no longer be recognized by their own families, or else they would be deemed accomplices and be hunted down by the Paladins together.
It seems that Paladins are quite domineering, able to ignore noble status and trample on the powerful, but in reality, in many noble-ruled territories, Paladins can’t even enter the city gates, and even if they do, they face numerous hardships and cannot stay long.
"Take them away for interrogation and judge them based on the crimes they’ve committed!"
Detecting lies has also come into play at this moment. The Royal Family members couldn’t even fabricate lies, as the power that sheltered them in their misdeeds had been isolated.
The Royal Family members exuding a bloody aura, once stripped of the immunity their Royal Family status provided, faced an inevitable outcome—hanging, beheading, slicing in half, there’s always a form of execution suitable for them.
Batch after batch was taken out, each batch undergoing trial, and eventually executed, the number of prisoners in the local jail began to decrease, and the remaining Royal Family members soon sensed danger from the increasingly bloody aura of the Paladins.
"What did you do to the people before us?"
Faced with the inquiry, a young-faced Paladin glanced at the Royal Family, with a stern look that carried an undisguised murderous intent.
