Chapter 2831: Trial

With such a high-cost disposable magic device, even multi-millionaires like Qiao Ann can't help but be speechless!
"Death-replacement" is a 9-level protection magic. It cannot bless the human body. It can only be attached to a diamond. It will automatically be destroyed when a fatal injury is suffered. It will replace the carrier to take the injury and send it to the pre-designated one. Safe zone.
"Death-replacement" can only be used to resist attacks that directly cause fatal injuries, and it has no effect on negative effects such as suffocation, petrification, and attribute damage that do not directly cause vitality damage.
There is another detail that needs attention. If the bearer of the "amulet" is marked with a "dimensional anchor", then this amulet can only withstand one fatal injury, but cannot activate the subsequent transmission function-not long ago, Qiao Ann used it This cracked the amulet of Ferguson and Andre.
Although the "survival death technique" is not perfect, the casting cost is one of the highest among all the magic below the legend, but having said that, this thing can really save your life at the critical moment!
Money is a good thing, but no amount of money is as expensive as his own life, not to mention Qiao An is not bad at all.
He made up his mind when transcribing the "death-for-death technique", and when he learned the spell in the future, he would make an amulet by himself and carry it with him, prepared.
…
At the end of this small episode, Qiao Ann's life is back on a peaceful track. In addition to studying spells and doing experiments every day, he gathers with friends in his spare time and occasionally participates in social activities such as court banquets.
After two weeks, Qiao Ann went to the embassy to attend a dinner at the embassy on the weekend, and overheard old man Franklin talk about the "public trial", only to learn that the "West Point Town Spy Case" had a short follow-up plot that caused heated discussion!
John Andre’s plot to kidnap Continental Army Commander-in-Chief George Vassar was disrupted by Joan, and he became a prisoner. The Tyndall brothers escorted him back to the Continental Army Command in Forge Valley for interrogation.
The commander-in-chief was almost kidnapped. !
The Continental Army immediately established a military tribunal to openly hear the John Andre spy case, and invited reporters from major newspapers to appear in court. It intends to use this case as a blockbuster that will be dropped on Fiji’s real man, to create public opinion, and to receive " The revolutionaries of the New World whose image was damaged due to the influence of the "abolition of slavery" were saved.
The Continental Congress representatives and senior Continental Army generals attending this trial all hoped that John Andre would show his ugliness in the military court, whether it was a cowardly expression of greed and fear of death, or arrogant and domineering contempt of the court, as long as This guy has any inappropriate words and deeds, even if he has caught the handle.
The "pens" employed by the Continental Congress have long been gearing up to prepare for it. Not only do they want to kill John Andre himself, but more importantly, expand the range of attacks and firmly nail Andre's boss, the Fijian invaders. On the pillar of shame, seize the moral high ground again.
It’s a pity that things went counter-intuitive. John Andre seemed to have insight into the political and propaganda intentions behind this public trial. At the beginning of the trial, he showed impeccable gentlemanship in the court, and truthfully admitted that he was an officer of Feizhen. Expose the conspiracy and confession to persuade Benedict Laval to change the court.
During most of the trial, John Andre's words and deeds were impeccable. His calmness, elegance, and honesty, as well as his loyalty to the motherland, left a very good impression on the people who were hearing in the courtroom.
At the end of the trial, the gentleman serving as the juror had a dispute with the generals.
The core of the dispute is whether to deal with John Andre as a "prison of war" or a "spy".
If it was a prisoner of war, Andre would have no life worry, and squatted in the cell for a period of time. When the Continental Army and the Feizhen Army exchange prisoners in the future, he will be a bargaining chip that can be used.
Although Andre’s military rank is just a colonel, but considering his close relationship with Winthrop and his sons, especially his prominent family background in Fiji, if he is exchanged for General Charles Gates, who was defeated and captured in the Port of Princesa. , Earl Winthrop wanted to come.
Conversely, if John Andre was convicted of a spy, the result would be very different.
In this day and age, neither of the warring parties can do without the intelligence support provided by a large number of spies, but the traditional atmosphere of the feudal aristocracy is still deeply rooted. Officers claim to be upright knights, while spies, secret agents, and assassins are subject to high society. The contempt of is regarded as a kind of "despicable" profession.
This self-contradictory mentality is especially common in the era of rapid social changes. To a certain extent, it reflects that old concepts and traditions are unwilling to withdraw from the stage of history and are replaced by new concepts and new fashions that are more in line with the spirit of the times.
The tug-of-war between the old and the new is in the spirit of the current generation, and its ideology has naturally become a "stitched monster" full of loopholes.
In the New World illuminated by the flames of the revolution, although a "Declaration of Independence" was born out of the spirit of the times, the conservative atmosphere still dominates the society.
On the one hand, people recognize the indispensable and important value of spies in military activities. On the other hand, they accuse spies of unscrupulous behavior and have no moral bottom line. They believe that the arrest of spies must be punished by death, and it is the most disgraceful method of death—hanging!
In court, John Andre defended himself by saying that he was dealing with Laval as a soldier and not as a spy.
However, the prosecution pointed out that Andrei did not wear a military uniform when he was arrested, and tried to assassinate the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army, apparently acting as a spy.
On the jury, there was a high demand for the exchange of Andre for General Gates. If the interrogation ended smoothly in this way, Andre was likely to save his life.
However, no one thought that John Andre, who seemed calm and rational throughout the trial, did not know which evil he was hit when he made his final statement. He even uttered rumors in the court and publicly accused the gentleman who tried him. The generals and the generals are "hypocritical anti-human genocidal gang slave owners", criticizing their actions for not being worthy of the "Declaration of Independence" signed by themselves. It should be their conscience that was tortured in the trial bench. Correct.
It's good this time, the misfortune comes out of the mouth!
John Andre offended everyone in the court all at once, and at the same time it was tantamount to ruining his own hope of survival!
In the end, the court announced that Andrei was convicted of "espionage" and sentenced to death!
John Andre was not surprised by his end.
Judging from the smile on his face the moment he heard the sentence, it was better to say that he got what he wanted.
