Chapter 279 The title was taken away by an unnamed Ah Ha
Kokolia saw a small group of people who, for some reason, still did not put down their weapons. She immediately became interested in these stubborn elements, and she slowly walked towards them. With each step closer, the pressure on those people increased, and they held their weapons tighter, but they did not dare to take action, after all, they knew the consequences of taking action.
They still didn't put down their weapons until Cocolia came to them. Cocolia knew these stubborn people clearly, so she just glanced at them. "Oh? Why don't you want to put down your weapons? Don't you want to betray your Lord Demon?" she asked calmly.
Those who had surrendered and knew about the situation immediately stepped forward and told Cocolia everything that these people had done. "My Lord, these people are the diehard followers of the two demon gods. Compared to them, most of us are innocent."
Others also discussed it. "Yes, yes, those people's consciences have really been eaten by dogs. They have caused many people to lose their families and die tragically. A considerable number of our soldiers were deceived by them. We ask Cocolia to judge them!"
After listening to what those people said, one of them couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted at them, "Shut up! How could you good-for-nothings understand our sincere heart towards the Demon God? A few words that can't stand up to scrutiny can make you turn against us in the middle of a battle. What qualifications do you have to say such things!"
However, he was instantly cursed by many people, "Bah, who the hell are you? Bastard, open your dog eyes and see that the demon god you believe in is now like a dead dog, lying on the ground to be slaughtered. He even asked us to show our loyalty to him, but why can't I see that he treats us well? Is your spine broken?"
"You, you guys!" How could this man stop the spit from everyone? He was drowned in an instant. Even his former colleagues didn't dare to come forward to help him. Who wants to be the first to stand out and anger everyone, and then be targeted by everyone? It's better to just stand there and be scolded.
"Listen to me, put down your weapons and don't resist in vain. Perhaps, I can consider a lighter punishment." After hearing Kokolia's warning, some people couldn't hold back and put down their weapons obediently. After all, his crime was not fatal, and if he continued to struggle, he might really die!
After they realized the situation, they also put down their weapons and gave up resistance. After all, the boss was gone, and there was no need for them to stay any longer. They might as well think about what to do next to avoid punishment.
Especially those evil people who had committed countless heinous crimes here. At this moment, their only thought was to use all means to escape from here to prevent others present from telling them about the dirty things they had done, which they could not deny.
However, Cocolia knew all about the crimes some of them had committed, and she couldn't let them get away. Otherwise, how could she hold them accountable later? So, Cocolia clapped her hands to attract the attention of everyone present.
She looked at these people, except for the one who had been sentenced to death by the crowd, and said calmly, "Everyone, I think you probably know what each other did here. You can tell us everything you know. If it is confirmed to be correct, perhaps you can reduce your punishment."
Kokolia continued, "Of course, if you try to frame someone or evade punishment, once it is verified, you will be severely punished. I think you all understand what I mean. So, who of you plans to start first?"
Several people looked at each other, praying that the other party would not expose their crimes, but soon someone could not hold back any longer. Why not do it if they could make merit by reporting others to offset their crimes? However, the person who reported did not seem to think that others could also offset their crimes by reporting him.
The result is predictable, as they reported each other's crimes in an attempt to escape punishment. In the end, no one got any good results, because the crimes they said were not bad enough even if they were cut into pieces, and some even thought it was too light and unforgivable.
Torturing prisoners and raping women were just appetizers. Some of them even felt that these alone could not satisfy their evil tastes, so they went to an uninhabited island to hide their tracks. They committed a lot of horrific crimes there, such as human experiments, sexual assault on minors, and even massacres of innocent people.
At first, the devil was protecting them, so even if they did something wrong and it was exposed, it wouldn't matter. At most, they would just get scolded and then be fine. But now, things are completely different, because the devil's protective umbrella over their heads is gone.
And because of mutual denunciation, these things were exposed nakedly, and everyone was shocked. Even Xi'er, who was always very gentle, was disgusted by what these beasts did. Cocolia was even less likely to let these people go. She had already thought about how to deal with these people, and she would not be able to calm her anger unless she eliminated them.
However, some of them shamelessly asked Kokolia for a reduction in sentence. "Lord Kokolia, you see, we have exposed each other's crimes. Can you reduce the punishment?"
But after hearing this, Kokolia didn't even look at them. Because after hearing these bloody facts, she was extremely disappointed with these people and had already sentenced them to death in her heart.
Tianhe's voice came from not far away, "I say, how dare you ask Kokolia to reduce your sentence. Ask yourselves, it is unjustifiable not to be cut into pieces and boiled in oil. It's a death sentence anyway, so it doesn't matter whether it is reduced or not."
After hearing Tianhe's words, several people were dissatisfied, "Hey, who are you? How dare you talk like that?" "Yes, who are you? Cocolia didn't do anything to us, and you are pointing fingers here."
Tianhe didn't say anything, but those people instantly felt a sharp pain in their bodies, groaned, and then fell to the ground, unconscious. People who didn't know Tianhe were shocked when they saw this. Tianhe didn't do anything, so why did he fall to the ground?
"Mr. Tianhe, you are here. Most of the people here have no criminal record and have decided to accept the rule of the shogunate. If there is nothing else, let them go. As for these people, you can deal with them as you see fit."
Tianhe nodded, and the others seemed to realize that this person should be a high-ranking member of the shogunate army, and his strength was at least that of a demon god. "The rest of you can disband and leave on your own. You can go wherever you want, but you guys, stay."
Tianhe looked at the people who had committed the most crimes. He naturally couldn't let them go so easily. After hearing what Tianhe said, these people were scared and knelt on the ground. How would Tianhe deal with them? To be continued~
