Chapter 305 The Villain Lady Arrives 134

With the sound of heavy footsteps, the rebel leader was escorted to the platform. He was wearing ragged prison uniform, his face was haggard, and his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness. However, when he saw the angry and indifferent faces below the stage, he couldn't help but feel a deep fear in his heart.

Alice stood up and looked around. Her voice was clear and powerful: "Everyone, we are gathered here today to expose a long-hidden conspiracy and to punish those who betrayed the country and endangered the people. Now, let us witness the victory of justice together!"

After that, she motioned Tariq to come forward. Tariq took out the precious confidential documents from his arms, slowly unfolded them, and showed the contents to everyone present. As the documents were displayed one by one, the crimes of the rebels gradually surfaced: collusion with foreign enemies, corruption, killing innocent people... Each crime was enough to scare people.

"Look! This is their true face!" Alice held up the document and shouted, "They were once one of us, but for their own selfish desires and ambitions, they betrayed our common beliefs and ideals. Now, it's time for them to pay the price for their crimes!"

As Alice finished her words, thunderous applause and cheers broke out from the audience. People stood up one after another, raised their arms high, and shouted slogans such as "Justice will prevail" and "Light will last forever." The rebel leader trembled in the deafening sound, and his eyes finally lost all the light.

The trial went very smoothly. Faced with irrefutable evidence, the rebel leader had no way to refute and could only bow his head and plead guilty. The judges read out the verdict: the rebel leader would be sentenced to death as a warning to others; the rest of the rebels would also be punished accordingly according to the severity of their crimes.

After the verdict was announced, Alice and Aidan stood up again and bowed deeply to everyone present to express their gratitude to the people. Alice said: "Thank you for your support and trust. We will continue to uphold the principles of justice and light and work hard for the prosperity of the country and the happiness of the people. Please believe us, the future will definitely be better!"

Aidan Shengzi also added: "At the same time, we also call on everyone to unite and jointly resist any form of threats and challenges. Only if we work together and unite as one can we protect this beautiful land and our common home."

As Alice and Saint Aidan finished their words, the atmosphere in the square reached its climax.

As the words of Alice and Aidan echoed in the sky above the Square of Light, the emotions of the people were completely ignited. In their eyes, there was not only a desire for justice, but also a bit of catharsis and release for past suffering. In the crowd, an old woman stood up tremblingly, with tears on her wrinkled face, and her hands tightly grasped a piece of tattered cloth, which was the only relic left by her deceased son, who was an innocent victim of the rebels' atrocities.

"Fellow villagers, do you still remember? In those years, our village was looted by the rebels, food was stolen, houses were burned, so many people lost their loved ones, and so many people were displaced!" Although the old woman's voice sounded old, it was full of power. Every word she said hit everyone's heart like a hammer.

"Yes! They killed my husband and took away my daughter!" a middle-aged woman cried, her voice trembling with anger and grief, and the people around her cast sympathetic glances at her.

"And my old cow, which was my family's only property, was also ruthlessly taken away by them!" A man who looked like a farmer waved his fist angrily, his eyes red, as if he had returned to that desperate night.

For a time, the square was filled with accusations, each one an accusation of the rebels' crimes, and each tear a remembrance of their lost loved ones. The public's emotions spread rapidly like ignited firewood, turning into an unstoppable force.

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted: "We can't let him go like this! Let him taste the suffering we have suffered!" With this shout, several young people quickly rushed out of the crowd, holding rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves in their hands, and some even found mud and stones from somewhere and threw them at the rebel leader.

The rebel leader was frightened by these sudden attacks and retreated again and again. His face and body were covered with filth, and his former dignity and arrogance were gone. He looked around in horror, but found that he had no way to escape. He could only kneel on the ground helplessly, letting the anger of the people drown him like a tide.

Alice frowned slightly when she saw this, but she did not stop the people from venting their anger. She knew very well that these emotions were the result of the people's long-term repression and their desire for justice and fairness. So she turned around and nodded to the Son of Aidan, and the two exchanged a tacit look.

Saint Aidan stood up, his voice penetrating the noise of the crowd, sounding particularly steady and powerful: "Fellow villagers, I understand the anger and grief in your hearts. But please remember that we are believers of the Church of Light, and what we pursue is to turn hatred into love and repay grievances with virtue. Although the rebel leader is extremely evil, we must also follow the procedures of justice and give him the punishment he deserves."

He paused, looked at everyone present, and continued, "Therefore, I propose that we use burning at the stake to punish the rebel leader and its main members. This is not only a severe punishment for their crimes, but also a manifestation of the will of the God of Light, letting everyone know that betrayal and evil will eventually be punished!"

As soon as Saint Aidan finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers broke out in the square again. The people expressed their agreement, believing that the decision of the Church of Light was fair and sacred. So, under the leadership of Alice and Saint Aidan, people began to prepare for the burning at the stake.

Soon after, the rebel leader and his main members were escorted to a specially made wooden platform in the center of the square. The platform was built of thick wood and covered with flammable hay and firewood. The rebel leader was tied firmly to the platform, his eyes full of despair and fear, he knew his end was coming.

Following Alice's order, several missionaries from the Church of Light stepped forward, holding torches and looking solemn and dignified. Under the gaze of the crowd, they lit the hay and firewood under the wooden platform. The flames spread quickly, making crackling sounds, and a thick smoke rose into the sky, enveloping the rebel leader.

The rebel leader struggled and wailed in the sea of ​​fire, but his voice was soon swallowed by the blazing flames. People gathered around the wooden platform, some bowed their heads in silence, while others raised their hands and prayed for the forgiveness and protection of the God of Light. Alice and the Son of Aidan stood aside, watching all this silently. In their hearts, they hated the crimes of the rebels, but also had a firm belief in peace and justice.
