Chapter 840: I will give you a fair judgment

Chapter 840: I will give you a fair judgment
"you……?"

Wang Kerong was stunned. He did not resist until the demon hunter came up and controlled him, and even violently dismantled his mechanical body under his noble robe.

After hearing the treason trial announcement, he knew that he had gone too far. Although he did not think that the loss of Mingmu Star was entirely his fault, the Alliance had to think so, and there was nothing he could do.

If he was captured now, he would be truly finished. If he fell into the hands of the Alliance, he would be truly finished. How the Alliance would deal with him would depend entirely on their mood, and he would not be able to control his own destiny.

But if he succeeds in his resistance, then there is still room for discussion.

He didn't know how these demon hunters, and Pilias, whom he looked down upon, got on his mechanical ark. But he could guess that Pilias was a sage after all, and he would have some connections. In the past few months since the Alliance arrived, they had also won over some people through some secret activities in the Steel Flame Furnace. Coupled with the betrayal of the dozen or so Space Marines, it was not so incredible that they could show up in front of him.

But he shouldn't have been arrested so quickly.

He is a great sage, and his whole body is equipped with the most advanced technology from the Steel Flame Furnace. In addition, the modifications he made as a great sage are even more powerful. This body of mechanical equipment is extremely expensive, and the combat power it shows after it is deployed is quite extraordinary. Even if he has no combat experience, it can at least make him have a level that exceeds the average company champion among space warriors.

In fact, as long as there is enough training and actual combat experience, it is not a problem to kill the Hive Tyrant, Orc Warlord and the like with this set of equipment. The equipment advantage is too great.

It's not just him. The other sages in the field, even if they are slightly worse, are actually not that much worse.

The level of the Ruling Bishops is slightly lower, but they are definitely stronger than ordinary Space Marines.

There were nearly twenty high-ranking members of the Mechanicus in the room, and they were the main force he relied on the most.

A dozen Space Marines, and the Alliance Inquisitor - the so-called demon hunters, in his opinion, were no different from Inquisitors - their strength was actually no match for the top brass of the Steel Furnace in this room.

Even Pilias is not an option.

As long as they take action, they will be able to quickly eliminate these alliance lackeys.

Don't get caught on the spot, as this will provide room for mediation in many matters later.

He is the leader of the Steel Flame Furnace, he has the Mechanical Ark, he has the most elite group of warriors in the Forge World, he has the orthodox claim to the Forge World... All these things can demonstrate the value of united front work.

He can pay the price for his previous sins and be forced to cede more benefits to the alliance. But as long as these core united front values ​​remain, everything can be discussed.

Of course, he knew that with the power of the alliance, he would be crushed if he rebelled. But how much money and effort would it take to kill him? This was the value and confidence of the negotiation.

However, what he never expected was that something went wrong at the link where it should least go wrong.

Wang Kerong was still thinking about how to deal with the alliance and how to negotiate, but he saw that none of the senior members of the Steel Flame Furnace took action.

It seemed that after hearing the so-called "treason", they all admitted it.

How can you resist?

Even if Wang Kerong had full combat equipment, what was the point? He was unlikely to kill all the sages, Pilias, the Alliance Inquisitor, and a dozen Space Marines by himself. Moreover, after the fight, it was still unclear whether his loyal cult leaders would stand on his side or on the other side!

In the end, he had no choice but to do nothing and surrender.

……

"I don't accept it! Why do you charge me with treason? What country did I betray?" When Wang Kerong saw Tai Shichen in full military uniform, he shouted, "Why do you say that the loss of Muxing is my fault? Although 43% of her equipment provided by the Steel Flame Furnace was not in place, does this have a decisive impact on the battle on the front line?"

"Even with this 43%, the final result will still not be different. Captain Ricardo still won't be able to hold on until you come back!"

"Even so, the Comerian Church has withdrawn half of the Sisters of Battle, and the promised food supply has not yet arrived... I am a traitor, so how do the Comerians count?"

"Tristan didn't get the money he wanted, and she went on strike and took away her mercenary troops. How do we settle this account?"

"And Delin, Prince..." He read out a lot of names in succession, all of whom were well-known figures in the Moon-Watching Star Region. "These people all have problems. Why do you say I'm a traitor?!"

Tai Shichen listened to Wang Kerong's explanation in silence.

This great sage, who had almost all of his mechanical limbs removed, could only half-lying on the bed in the prison, unable to move. One could only tell from his words and expression that he was indeed very angry and unwilling.

Tai Shichen sneered: "I have heard your words too many times today..."

He waved his hand, and the walls of several cells in front of Wang Kerong's cell were opened.

Wang Kerong discovered that the people sitting in several cells in front of him were exactly the ones he had just cursed.

The most prominent figures in the Wangyue Star Region gathered in the prison of the Spear of the Dragon King.

Tai Shichen sighed, "Each of you said that what you did was not worth it. You lacked 43% of the equipment required by the standard; 39% of the railgun facilities and fortifications for the fortress defense were not completed on time... Even if you make up for these, Ricardo really still can't hold on until I come. The Komers also said so, even if the battle sisters are there, they can't stop the greenskins; and those planets that should contribute more planetary defense soldiers to join the Mingmu Star garrison, their troops can't stop the greenskins even if they come; Tristan's mercenary group will be useless either."

"Each of you, even if you do what you are supposed to do, will not have any impact on the outcome."

"So, you guys just feel at ease like this, you take a bite, I take a bite, and then let the whole building collapse!"

"If all of you do what you are supposed to do, the defense of Mingmu Star will be two or three times stronger than the current situation! Will the ending still be like this?!"

"You are a bunch of traitors... Hey, the special military tribunal of the Dark Side Expeditionary Command will give you a fair verdict."

"The verdict will be fair and worthy of the heroes who fought on Mingmu Star. I promise."
