The tanks escorting the ashes of the fallen were parked within the memorial hill.
This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Soldiers carefully retrieved the urns and stood in an orderly fashion.
The entire hill was also decorated with wreaths and celebratory banners.
Citizens of Soutke City followed behind the tanks as they reached the outskirts of the hill, ready to
see off the fallen soldiers.
They, however, weren''t allowed to enter the memorial hill itself.
They could only remain outside and watch from outside the iron railings.
The citizens could only look at their king from a distance.
All of the soldiers lowered their heads and remained silent for three minutes.
Caspian then delivered a speech of condolence as the Diatoranian God of War.
The speech would also mark the beginning of the remembrance ceremony.
Countless wreaths and banners were brought onto the memorial hill.
Meanwhile, several heavily armored vehicles transporting the traitors also drove into the ce.
Inside the car were the Hudsons, the Archers, and Henry. It was time for their execution after they
The schedule included executing them by firing squad as a way of appeasing the fallen soldiers.
The Stewarts soon arrived outside the memorial hill. They wanted to head inside to look for Caspian
but were stopped by the soldiers at the entrance.
They didn''t dare to cause amotion, given that the ceremony had just begun.
The Stewarts knew that causing trouble now would only anger the king, making pleading for Henry''s
life impossible.
All they could do now was patiently wait outside the memorial hill.
The ceremony would take about an hour.
"Bring in the traitors! We''ll gun them down and honor our fallen brothers with their blood!" Caspian
shouted.
Following his orders, the armored vehicles drove toward him.
The Stewarts started to panic as they realized that the execution was about to begin.
The Hudsons, the Archers, and Henry himself were brought upon the crowd.
The traitors were horrified as they saw the urns.
They began to panic as they looked around and saw nothing but soldiers with solemn expressions
staring back at them.
Various big shots were present as well, such as Caspian, some senior officers, and even Balthazar.
They had never expected to be publicly executed.
The Hudsons, the Archers, and Henry had never once seen the king in the flesh. They would have felt
extremely honored to be around Balthazar if they had met in normal circumstances.
But now, Balthazar was there to execute them.
The Stewarts were horrified as they watched Henry being brought out.
They wanted to head inside the memorial hill and beg Balthazar for mercy. But with the memorial hill
They decided to wait for the chance to arrive.
Meanwhile, Grant, Richard, and the rest of the Hudsons and the Archers were ced in front of the
urns of the fallen soldiers.
Caspian shouted, "You shameless traitors! Do you acknowledge the crimes you''vemitted?"
They were horrified and were unable to give Caspian a reply.
Henry was so frightened that his legs were shaking. Growing up, he had always been pampered and
had never been in such a horrifying scene.
He could feel death creeping up his neck, but it was toote for regrets.
Grant begged, "Please spare us, Lord Caspian! We, the Hudsons, promise to turn over a new leaf for
the better!"
Lawrence joined in as well. "Lord Caspian! Please spare us the Archers, as well! We will sincerely
repent for our crimes!"
Caspian''s expression turned sour as he shouted, "Our soldiers had died in battle fighting off enemies
that you had helped bring upon our ownnd! Do you think they would ever forgive you?
"Letting you live would be forsaking all of my men who had died protecting our country! Do you really
think we could ever forgive you after what you''ve done?"
Grant exined, "We''re innocent, Lord Caspian! We had no choice but to allow the enemies to take
over our residence when they invaded Soutke City. We never wanted to betray Diatoran!"
Lawrence chimed in, "He''s right! We would''ve been killed if we neverplied with the enemy''s
demands! We had no choice but to pretend to defect to the enemies in order to survive!"
Caspian shouted, "You won''t be fooling me with those lousy excuses of yours! I already found out that
you''ve been working for the enemy before they even entered Soutke City!"
Both Grant and Lawrence fell silent.
Nichs sheepishly exined, "Lord… Lord Caspian, I understand that we''ve not been on good terms.
But as the Diatoranian God of War, you can''t just execute us because of your personal grudge!"
Caspian replied, "Nichs, you, alongside Richard and Henry, had secretly colluded with Kenzie, the
leader of the enemy special agents, and began to spread rumors to nder my reputation. You''ve also
caused immense chaos within Soutke City as a result.
"I have all the evidence at hand. It would be a disservice not to execute all of you here and now and
prevent scums like you from endangering the citizens of Diatoran ever again!"
The next moment, Balthazar spoke up. "That''s enough, Caspian. You shouldn''t waste any more time
trying to reason with them. Execute them immediately!"
The Hudsons, the Archers, and Henry all had almost fainted from shock as Balthazar himself ordered
their execution.
Caspian was also done with talking to the traitors. "Of course. I hereby announce the execution of the
traitors, and I hope their blood can appease our fallen brothers!"
The traitors to their own country deserved to die.
Caspian waved his hand as dozens of soldiers raised their guns and aimed at the traitors.
The Hudsons and the Archers were horrified as they looked at the muzzles of the guns pointed at
them.
The Stewarts were simrly horrified as they watched the scene unfold.
They had expected the trial and questioning to take much longer and were caught by surprise when
they saw that the guns were raised at them.
Marilyn shouted as she rushed toward the memorial hill, "Don''t shoot! Let me speak with His Majesty,
please!"
Melinda also tried to rush inside. "Please don''t kill my son! He didn''t do anything!"
The Stewarts shouted as they tried to break into the ce.
The soldiers stationed by the entrance had stopped them from entering.
Within the memorial hill were all sorts of big shots, including Balthazar. The Stewarts would never be
allowed inside.
The Stewarts'' shouts echoed throughout the silent memorial hill and garnered the attention of everyone
there.
Both Caspian and Balthazar heard their shouts as well.
Henry looked over to the voice of his family to find them outside the memorial hill. His tears began to
flow down his cheeks as all sorts of emotions ran through his heart.
Balthazar asked, "Who are those noisy bunch of people?"
