Translator: 549690339
In fact, the duel just now was just an appetizer, and it’s only now that the “main course” has formally begun.
Tina took a deep breath, staring at all the spectators in the arena: “Everyone, please be quiet, I’ve something to say!”
Fueled by her anger, Tina’s voice echoed throughout the entire arena.
Hearing Tina’s words, the spectators on the stand unanimously quieted down and focused their attention on her, curious about what she had to say.
Once the audience had quieted down, Tina rose into the sky, loud enough for everyone to hear:
“The reason I challenged Fiona this time was firstly to prove to everyone that I have the strength to be the commander of the Unicorn Legion.”
At Tina’s words, many knights on the northern stand of the Unicorn Legion nodded their heads in agreement.
Indeed, Tina’s strength was very impressive, and with her fifth-order power, she was well-suited for the position of legion leader.
“Secondly, I wanted to talk about these letters.”
Tina lifted the bundle of letters she held, displaying them to all the spectators.
“These letters were obtained after I destroyed an underground intelligence organization. They detail all the crimes committed by Milton Strathrowe, the chief worker of the Nightingale Commerce. Of course, I have also found all the relevant evidence regarding these crimes.
Now, I will present this evidence and list these crimes to all of you.”
Following the text on the envelopes, Tina began to list the crimes:
“The first crime: On June 25th two years ago, Milton ordered his men to intentionally blow up the ‘Orlean’s Revival Dam’ which was under maintenance ”
“The second crime: In March last year, Milton privately embezzled 300,000 spiritual energy coins in disaster relief funds from Green Vine Village ”
“The tenth, and final crime: Milton colluded with the sanctuary powerhouse of Lai Yin Empire, Antondidas The evidence is the letter in my hands.”
Tina detailed clearly all the “Ten Sins” committed by Milton in his lifetime.
After the litany of crimes, she emphasized, “Seven days ago, I personally executed Milton, and the recent unrest in the city was caused by me. I hope everyone is aware.”
Tina stopped speaking at this point.
However, Fiona, standing beneath her, was completely stunned, gazing speechlessly at Tina in the sky.
Originally, she thought the duel between the two was the highlight of the day, but to her surprise, Tina revealed a shocking piece of news after the duel ended!
Of course, Fiona knew who Milton Strathrowe was — the uncle of the city lord, Claude, the chief officer of the Nightingale Commerce, and one of the most powerful people in Orleans City.
Milton had died seven days ago by the Moonlight River.
His death stirred up a great commotion in the city. Lord Claude sent men to search for the murderer personally, and Orleans City was even under a curse of lockdown.
Surprisingly, it was Tina who killed Milton!
But Tina, if you killed him, why would you announce it in front of more than thirty thousand people? Isn’t this a slap in the face to the city lord?
Fiona stood motionless on the spot, her mind completely blank.
.
On the northern stands of the arena, the Unicorn Legion knights also gaped at Tina’s revelation.
The commotion that was stirring up the city recently was actually created by Tina!
Crushing a caravan with a fifth-tier powerhouse and five fourth-tier elite fighters was incredible!
Considering Milton’s ten sins, his death was well-deserved.
With most of the knights adhering to ideas of justice, mercy, humility, and protection of the weak, Tina’s status within their hearts immediately elevated.
On the southern stand, the high-ranking officers of the legion were too stunned to know what to say.
A group of high-ranking officers immediately surrounded deputy legion commander Grace anxiously asking:
“Commander, is what Tina saying true?”
“Milton was actually killed by Tina?”
“Isn’t Tina publicly humiliating the city lord?”
“Commander, what should we do?”
“Don’t rush, let me think.” Grace was completely flustered, she had not expected Tina to pull such a stunt.
Indeed, according to Tina’s words, Milton deserved to die, but after all, he was the city lord’s uncle!
Killing the city lord’s uncle and then publicly listing his ten crimes, where should the city lord put his face?
“Could it be that brat who instigated it?” Grace glared fiercely once at the stand at the highest point, which was where Su Yu was.
The more Grace thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
If it weren’t for Su Yu’s instigation, how could the kind and honest Tina possibly attack a caravan and kill Milton?
“I’ll settle the score with you later!” Grace glared again at the grandstand where Su Yu was, and left the stadium, flying towards the city lord’s manor.
At the highest grandstand of the stadium, Su Yu looked at Tina floating in the air below and revealed a faint smile.
The reason why he let Tina expose all of Milton’s crimes was mainly to let Tina make a stand — she stood with the masses.
As mentioned before, the Goldsparrow Empire was setting, its superstructure decayed to the bone, in desperate need of a major grassroots reform.
The vast masses at the bottom are the cornerstone of the prosperity of the Goldsparrow Empire. The reason why Goldsparrow could become the most powerful empire in the human world was because of the hard work and sweat of the masses.
But now, the empire is torn apart from north to south and has reached the brink of collapse.
The decayed bureaucrats within the empire are incompetent, still sucking the blood of the masses, disregarding human lives, only thinking of their own interests and wallets.
Under such circumstances, reform is imperative!
Therefore, Su Yu let Tina make her stance clear, gain the support of the masses, and act as the vanguard of reform.
As for the problem of putting city lord Claude in an embarrassing position it’s a trivial matter!
Behind Tina is the guardian god, Evan Goldsparrow, even though he only has one clone, this one clone could destroy the entire Orleans City!
So Su Yu let Tina do it confidently, with someone backing her, there is no need to be afraid.
The audience in the venue was also shocked and furious, they didn’t expect Milton to commit so many heinous acts!
They all started shouting:
“The ‘Rejuvenation Dam’s’ breach was not an accident but was destroyed by Milton, that’s hundreds of lives!”
“To kill so many innocents for spiritual energy coins, why didn’t the gods strike this bastard down with divine punishment?”
“Perhaps Tina is the divine punishment sent by the gods.”
“Thank you, Tina, for ridding Orleans City of such a huge scourge!”
“Tina comes from a farming family, she’s different from those born to nobility!”
“Ah, it’s a pity that Tina has deeply offended the city lord this time.”
“No problem, Tina is protected by the guardian god.”
“Guardian god, please protect Tina!”
The noise from the spectators grew louder and louder, the entire stadium was in chaos.
But in the eyes of the general public present, Tina was one of them, which was Tina’s biggest gain this time.
