Chapter 781
“We’ll save him at the public trial tomorrow. What do you all think?” Noir glanced at the various commanders.
Fenrir frowned and said, “Wouldn’t that implicate the Lycantroops and confirm the rumors of the Wolf King’s
rebellion? It’ll give Registus the opportunity he’s looking for.”
Noir said coldly, “That’s why those participating must leave the Lycantroops and join this operation as individuals.
“I will personally take charge of this operation. You all just need to command the Lycantroops well and select the
ones you trust absolutely to accompany me to Kiyoto.”
The Eight Commanders looked at each other and said, “I think this plan is feasible. Let’s do that.”
“There’s no time to lose. Hurry up and prepare.”
After a while, a group of absolutely loyal individuals were selected to carry out the mission to rescue Andrius.
Everything was ready.
Now, all they had to do was wait for the public trial the next day!
Early the next morning, the rain had been falling incessantly. The streets of Kiyoto had been thoroughly cleansed by
the heavy rain, and the gloomy sky formed a stark contrast with the earth.
In the morning, the Second War God and the others brought Andrius to the public trial platform. Despite his

People had already crowded around the platform. There were local Kiyoto officials, righteous individuals from
across the nation, and other onlookers who seemed “uninformed“.
In addition to that, Noir and the other elite Lycantroops had disguised themselves as civilians and hidden in
inconspicuous corners among the crowd.
“The Wolf King is here.”
“Is the trial starting?”
“I never thought this would be the Wolf King’s end. How regrettable…”
“Sigh, you’re right.”
The crowd immediately began to murmur as soon as Andrius appeared.
Crack, crack, crack…
The moment Andrius appeared, Noir and the others‘ eyes reddened, and their knuckles cracked as they clenched
their fists. They wanted to rush out and rescue the Wolf King right away.
However, they knew that it was not the right time yet, so they had to suppress their anger and stay calm.
Even so, they panted like angry bulls as if a raging fire was burning in their chests
“Everyone, on standby.” Noir whispered through the hidden microphone, “After I give the signal, don’t hesitate.
Follow the plan and rush forward to rescue the Wolf King.”
He had made ample preparations to rescue Andrius, including planting special electronic mines in the
area. The area within a few kilometers of the trial platform would turn into ruins with just the press of a
button.
Of course, that was meant as a last resort to take the enemy down along with him. He would not activate it until the
final moment.
Other than that, four teams were on standby near the platform, ready to escape in an instant once they
successfully rescued the Wolf King.
Countless reporters were on site, broadcasting the trial live.
Several guards dragged Andrius onto the platform.
Registus sat on the platform and announced loudly, “I hereby declare the start of the trial of the Wolf King of
Florence, Andrius Moonshade.”
The venue immediately fell silent.
“Andrius Moonshade, I’ve always regarded you as a pillar of Florence and held the highest trust and expectations
for you. I never expected you to commit an unforgivable act such as treason. You truly sadden me.”
After Registus acted out his lament, he turned to the Second War God and said, “Read Andrius
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMoonshade’s crimes out loud!”
Then, he closed his eyes as if he were deeply distressed.
The Second War God heard the order and immediately announced, “Andrius Moonshade, as the Wolf King of
Florence and the emperor’s trusted aide, you disregarded the law and acted wantonly.
“Toward the common people, you abused your power, engaged in plunder, and showed no regard for human life.
You used forceful means to amass wealth, even at the cost of taking lives.
“In regard to national affairs, you ignored the emperor’s orders, and after leading the Lycantroops to exterminate
the Western Nations, you unilaterally signed a treaty without consultation, aiming to establish an independent state
and revealing your disloyalty.
“Such actions are unforgivable. Today is the day you will face the consequences of your wickedness and admit your
guilt!”
With each sentence, the Second War God’s mood became increasingly cheerful. It was as if he had
released several years of frustration.
Andrius remained expressionless.
The Second War God did not care and continued, “Next, please have the witnesses come forward to testify for
Andrius Moonshade’s crimes.”
