Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Public Trial

After hearing that new flower demons had been created, Qin Lan immediately requested a quota of them.

"As for being so anxious, besides using them for farming, these things don’t have much use. You don’t need them for combat either," combat was mostly managed by Fang Jie’s army.

Qin Lan retorted, "You underestimate the capabilities of these flower demons. Combined with farmland, they possess significant potential. It’s winter now; most other places can’t produce food. Do you know how high food prices have gotten? This could mean several times the profits."

Alright, Qin Lan indeed had a much keener sense than herself in this respect.

"So that was it, no worries, I am also planning to build a Mysterious Garden at your place. You can recruit them yourself when the time comes."

"That’s wonderful, I have wanted these cute little things for a long time."

That must be your real motive, Fang Jie suddenly felt like he had uncovered the reason. But since the plan was already to establish there, it didn’t really matter.

As for the spare Elemental Gems, they certainly had to be sent back. After all, only by upgrading the Mysterious Garden on Fang Jie’s side could more advanced blueprints be obtained. Other Mysterious Gardens, even if upgraded, only contributed that much, which wasn’t cost-effective.

Moreover, Fang Jie wasn’t even sure if the Mysterious Gardens constructed elsewhere carried the same upgrading capabilities.

Just as the rear began large-scale development of the agricultural industry, the war at Flower Plateau rapidly escalated.

There was no choice; the enemy’s Golden Strong People had almost all perished, including the Duke Xianhua.

Other vampires, although freed from control, mostly failed to escape.

Especially the former nobles, who had largely severed ties with other members of their class. Given their prolonged lack of contact, their feelings for each other were imaginable.

They hadn’t provided much benefit over the years, so nobody sought justice for them when they were beset.

In the end, barely a few vampires managed to escape.

During their final escape attempt, the vampires’ true nature became apparent as they brutally mistreated civilians. These atrocities gradually came to light, and their reputations dramatically collapsed.

In just a few days, the most important areas of Flower Plateau were successively occupied. It was only a matter of time before the entire territory was swept clean, and Mobs became the de facto ruler of Flower Plateau.

"Next, I’ll have to make a personal visit."

Whether the territories there needed to be occupied, or new Affiliated Territories had to be established, a personal visit was necessary.

Such matters could not be delegated to others, and Fang Jie had no choice.

"My Lord, we have captured some traitors originally from Earth. How should they be dealt with?"

Hearing this, Fang Jie frowned. Even though they were all compatriots, being harsh on the natives didn’t mean he could easily be harsh on these Earth people.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Jie finally said, "Hold a public trial, and deal with them according to their crimes."

As a leader, Fang Jie had to consider his own interests and those of his subordinates. Since many came from Earth and had turned against him, Fang Jie naturally couldn’t let them go.

It wasn’t long before those captured Earth traitors were brought to an open field.

At that moment, not many people gathered to watch. However, the majority of the spectators were from Earth.

Seeing their fellow countrymen tied up and kneeling, having their charges read to them, many began to feel differently. Humans react uniquely when dealing with their own kind, even fellow townsmen.

After someone finished reading a charge from above, pointing to one of the ties, they declared, "According to your charges, I now sentence you to death."

"Wait a minute, isn’t that too harsh? Many countries have already abolished the death penalty."

"Yeah, he’s so old, is it really okay to treat an elderly person this way?"

"Shut up, those are traitors, because of them, how many people died at the hands of those damn vampires. If they had succeeded, we would be the ones up there."

"Exactly, are you planning to betray us too?"

"Don’t talk nonsense, we’re just talking about the matter at hand. No matter what, we can’t just kill people randomly."

The crowd below became noisy, but the reader didn’t care and nodded to a nearby Skeleton Hero. The Skeleton Hero, who was loyal only to Fang Jie, didn’t care either.

With a swing of the sword, the head of the man still struggling fell to the ground.

The previously heated crowd immediately fell silent. They finally realized that this wasn’t a game.

Initially, some who came to this world had special feelings toward it, feeling like it was a game. But now, this event changed them.

It felt like the whole world had changed in an instant, not because the world had changed, but their perception of the world had fundamentally changed. The world was cruel, not as they had imagined.

Some silently captured the scene on video without much talk.

The person above continued reading, and one by one, those traitors were beheaded.

Ultimately, those brought here were mostly death row prisoners. As heads fell one by one, the onlookers grew numb and lost the will to protest.

It wasn’t until the end that a few, whose charges were not so severe, faced only imprisonment.

The prison originally made by the natives finally served its purpose.

But those sentenced to prison appeared grateful and relieved on their faces, grateful to be spared death.

The feeling of awaiting death was terribly uncomfortable, and knowing that they weren’t sentenced to death brought immense relief. With the sentencing of a few who were spared death, the oppressive atmosphere among the spectators gradually dissipated.

After the event, some immediately posted about this public judgment in discussion forums.

Consequently, this event sparked even larger discussions throughout the area about the reasons and process. Fang Jie didn’t care at all about their opinions; they needed a reality check.

The world was cruel—they just hadn’t seen it before. The dead were merely out of contact, but now letting them see how these people died, they were truly moved.
