Chapter 492: Weilade, Solite, Dead!

Although what Dokadi knew did not involve letting those five hundred orcs sneak into the city, nor did it involve the grain supplies being burned.

But the effect was the same as mud falling into one's crotch; in fact, there was no difference.

Instantly, Solite's face turned ashen.

"Nonsense! President, Dokadi is lying! He must have been bribed by Gervas to frame us! I had conflicts with him before!"

"Please, President, you must believe me."

However, Minister Weilade clearly still had not given up and wanted to continue arguing.

It was just that Dokadi's will to survive was far stronger than his; upon hearing this, he immediately refuted, "No, President, everything I said is true. I dare swear by the God of Glory that if I have lied even once just now, may the God of Glory inflict divine punishment upon me."

"Furthermore, I know another piece of evidence: the orc token. Minister Weilade thought I did not know, but he has always hidden that orc token in the inner layer of his horse's saddle!"

"That inner layer, besides Minister Weilade himself, only I accidentally saw it this morning; others certainly do not know!"

"You... you..." Minister Weilade was almost choked to death by rage.

Because his orc token was indeed hidden inside the saddle's inner layer.

The purpose was to carry it on his person and take it out for use at any time.

He never expected that this fellow Dokadi had seen it.

Of course, what Minister Weilade did not know was that even if Dokadi had not seen him hide the token, he would not have been able to hide it anyway.

Because Gervas had also received news from today's daily intelligence report.

If Dokadi did not speak, he would have personally revealed this intelligence.

"Dokadi, well done; it seems your life can be saved!" Gervas patted Dokadi's shoulder with satisfaction, expressing his approval.

And Minister Weilade, his face ashen, no longer argued.

The President's expression turned gloomy; he gave an order to his subordinate, and immediately a knight of the Northern Legion took Dokadi to search for that token.

Besides human testimony, if physical evidence could be obtained, then there would be no doubt of one hundred percent confirmation of this matter.

Soon, the horse belonging to Minister Weilade was brought over, and then Dokadi himself stepped forward, opened the saddle's inner layer, and retrieved the token.

"President, it is the Orc Ace!" Upon clearly seeing the token Dokadi handed over, the President's subordinate immediately cried out in shock.

Ace naturally meant it was the token of the Orc King.

Even ordinary orc chieftains could not possess it; this showed that Minister Weilade had indeed become an important spy for the orc race, able to communicate directly with the Orc King.

"Damn bastard, it really was these two who betrayed us! Kill them! President, kill them immediately!"

"That's right; if they had not burned the grain, how could we have suffered such great losses? Kill them immediately and avenge the dead!"

"These scum, I want to split them apart..."

Whether in the previous life or this world, traitors have always been the most hated.

With Solite and Minister Weilade's treachery one hundred percent confirmed, the nobles inside and outside the small courtyard immediately became furious.

The nobles all shouted to beat Solite and Minister Weilade to death on the spot.

"Everyone, I know you are very angry; for such traitors, I also wish to kill them immediately!"

"However, before that, I still need to interrogate them thoroughly..." Seeing the situation, the President naturally dared not be negligent and immediately spoke to soothe them.

Otherwise, if these nobles rushed forward, they might really beat Solite and Minister Weilade to death on the spot.

And at this moment, Duke Lieshi's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Because the President was preparing to interrogate, he was clearly not confident about the mouths of Solite and Minister Weilade.

The reason was simple: the kingdom would surely subject the two to severe torture and extract everything they knew.

Facing torture, Duke Lieshi could not guarantee whether they would reveal the assistance of the Lieshi family.

So, Duke Lieshi immediately whispered a few instructions to the subordinate beside him!

After hearing the subordinate, he nodded imperceptibly; then the few of them squeezed into the furious crowd.

Afterwards, they suddenly pushed forward in the crowd; instantly, many onlooker minor nobles, caught off guard, directly lunged forward.

And the effect caused was as if the furious crowd had begun to charge forward.

"Everyone, charge! Beat these damn traitors to death; if not for them, we would not have suffered such heavy losses!"

Taking advantage of this moment, Duke Lieshi's subordinate even lowered his head and shouted.

The other nobles were stunned; upon hearing this, they instinctively surged forward.

Seeing this, Solite was startled and instinctively struggled, wanting to dodge backward.

But what he did not expect was that a figure suddenly rushed over and roared angrily, "Solite, at a time like this, you are still thinking of fleeing out of guilt? Damn it!"

Immediately, golden light suddenly burst forth; before Solite could react, a cold gleam had already swept across his neck.

With a "puchi" sound, Solite did not even have time to scream before his head flew up into the sky.

Minister Weilade, standing two meters away from Solite, upon seeing this scene, could not help but widen his eyes in horror.

And Duke Lieshi clearly had no intention of sparing him either; of course, nor Dokadi, who stood between the two.

The long sword struck out again, heading toward Dokadi and Minister Weilade.

Puchi!

Dokadi was directly struck by the sword, and the long sword's remaining momentum did not diminish, cutting toward Minister Weilade.

"Duke Lieshi, what are you doing?" Duke Hernande also reacted at this moment, suddenly drawing his long sword.

With a "dang" sound, it collided with Duke Lieshi's long sword.

"Duke Hernande, did you not see that these fellows wanted to escape amidst the chaos? I am merely preventing these two human criminals from escaping!"

The long sword was blocked by Duke Hernande, but Duke Lieshi was not angry, because Duke Hernande was blocked by the crowd and was ultimately a step too late.

By the time he blocked Duke Lieshi's long sword, the blade had already struck half of Minister Weilade's neck, which was already enough to be fatal.

"You..." Minister Weilade clutched his neck, pointing painfully at Duke Lieshi with one hand.

He wanted to say something, but blood gushed from his neck, draining his strength in an instant.

With a thud, Minister Weilade fell backward onto the ground, performing the final breakdance of his life.

Minister Weilade, deceased!

"Duke Lieshi, he was merely trying to dodge. Why did you strike directly to kill them? We have not yet interrogated the two; this will cause us to miss the chance to root out more spies!"

"Besides, did Dokadi and Minister Weilade not even attempt to dodge?!"

The President's face darkened as he looked at Duke Lieshi.

The incident happened too suddenly; he had not expected Duke Lieshi to take action.

Moreover, Duke Lieshi's excuse was far too casual.

Any clear-eyed person could see that was merely a struggle to dodge, not an attempt to flee.

Besides, with myself, Hernand, and a host of great nobles present, even if we let him run for a minute, this fellow would not necessarily escape.

"I apologize, Mr. President; I was impulsive. In truth, I was simply too angry!"

"Though Solite is only of a collateral bloodline, he bears the name Lieshi after all. His actions have shamed the entire Lieshi family. As the current Duke Lieshi, I could not endure it regardless!"

"As for Dokadi and Minister Weilade, it was merely collateral damage!"
