On the same day, the judge in charge of the joint trial of Lugo's old and new cases sent up the closing report. The structure of the entire report completely complied with the regulations, but the content was very vague. It seemed to say everything, but also seemed to say nothing.

, I read the official words that I haven’t read. The content of the tens of thousands of words of the report has the same meaning - insufficient evidence and unclear facts. According to the "Doguland Code", I should be acquitted. If something goes wrong in the future, I will be responsible for the case.

The two judges are willing to take full responsibility.

After the case was concluded, Perseus personally sent out the royal guards and asked them to drive the two judges back to their city in a luxurious carriage. A few days after they returned, they received notices of promotion from their superiors, and they were promoted to positions and titles.

Gaosheng has gone to a better place.

In the palace, in order to commend Lugo and others for their heroic battle against the remnants of the Six Kings in the north, Perseus specially ordered people to set up a stage and held a celebration ceremony for these people in the central square of the royal city.

Regardless of their original intentions, the performance of the people in the northern mining area in this battle was brutal. More than 800 soldiers and more than 30,000 slaves followed Lugo out of the mining area. In the end, only 23 soldiers and 457 slaves were killed.

It can almost be said that one does not exist in a hundred.

For the deceased, whether they were soldiers or slaves, the royal family will all award them with military merits, provide their families with full pensions, and include them in the kingdom's life security system, so that they will have no worries about food and clothing in this life.

As for those brave warriors who survived, not to mention soldiers, all 23 of them were assigned to the four elite legions, enjoying glory and a bright future.

The surviving slaves received a treatment that completely changed their lives - His Majesty the King announced that the birthplace of the slaves, the moon appreciation coins, the fiefdoms, the recorded surnames with surnames, and the reward surnames without surnames were all included in the noble flower of the kingdom.

From now on, the roster is no longer a lowly creature born like an animal, but enjoys the superior treatment of aristocrats.

Now that the soldiers' rewards have ended, 458 slaves, including Lugo, took the stage.

The central square of the Royal City was crowded with people. Outside the cordon were full of people watching the excitement, and inside the cordon were ministers at all levels. All members of the royal family, including Perseus, were present. The scene was quite grand, and from time to time you could hear the heated discussions of the people.

:

"Glory to the sun! You saved Her Royal Highness, you are all heroes!"

"For God's sake, these people turned out to be slaves? They are too powerful to be able to accomplish such a feat."

"I've said it before, slaves are also capable, but they just didn't have the chance to show it before."

"There are still a small number of capable slaves. Just like among animals, there are only a few human beings occasionally. Most of them are still clumsy animals."

"No matter what, these slaves have changed their lives against fate. When we see them in the future, we will have to call them 'sir'!"

...

Various discussions came from all directions. These slaves were abused by nobles since they were young, and were later sold to the northern mining areas as coolies. They considered themselves humble. How could they adapt to such a high-profile scene? They obviously changed into silk clothes.

Everyone in the dress felt thorns on their backs, shivering and bending over, with their heads lowered, as if they had made some mistake. If the noble master in the audience coughed casually, they would tremble with fear.

At this moment, a slave caught a glimpse of a person in the crowd from the corner of his eye. He couldn't help but turn pale, his head lowered, and he spoke with a vibrato: "I...I seem to have seen the previous master.

..I was sold to the northern mining area by him... He just stared at me coldly..."

As soon as the slave finished speaking, Lugo suddenly slapped him on the back: "Put your head up!"

Lugo pinched the slave's neck, forced him to raise his head, looked down at the crowd with him, and said with great force: "You are a hero now! Don't say any nonsense noble nobleman, you will see all the royal ministers say something to you later.

A round of applause, and the king himself will thank you personally."

"If anyone dares to stare at you, just stare back. After the ceremony is over, pull him out and slap him twice. See if he still dares to stare with those dog eyes!"

The slave was not as ruthless and bold as Lugo, but he was somewhat emboldened by the words. He finally raised his head and cautiously looked at his former master.

The noble felt the slave's gaze, and felt uncomfortable for a moment. He had neither the guts nor the ability to cause trouble here, so he could only leave with the servant without saying a word.

The slave was stunned when he saw this, then looked at Lugo and showed a silly smile.

Soon, the ceremony began. Accompanied by the two king's right-hand men, Sting and Lan Xian, and the royal guards, Perseus walked onto the stage.

Perseus distributed military medals to the slaves one by one, while Sting held a delicate knife. After the king awarded him the title, he personally cut off the slave brand symbolizing humility on the slave's arm, and then the royal guards helped apply the medicine to complete them.

The transformation of identity.

When Perseus walked towards him, the slave was frightened again. His Majesty the King was right in front of him, and he subconsciously wanted to kneel to the ground.

Before the slave's knees touched the floor, Lugo grabbed his collar with one arm and forced him to stand up straight. He held his head high and looked forward, full of the arrogance he deserved at this time.

Seeing this, Perseus smiled slightly and said: "No one has ever kneeled to receive the meritorious service and stood upright during the celebration ceremony."

Having said that, the slave was still unable to adapt to the change in mentality in a short period of time. He stood up straight, but kept his head down and did not dare to look at Perseus. When he was branded, he still muttered "Thank you for the gift".

Class words.

Finally, Perseus came to Lugo. He looked at this man with his head held high and his chest was high. He felt very complicated for a while, and he couldn't understand how his fate could be so dramatic. He killed the grandson of the Far Eastern Emperor and killed Dogulland.

It was this man who caused uproar in the city. He was also the man who led a raid in the north and saved his beloved daughter.

Perseus now felt both hatred and gratitude for Lugo. Completely different complex emotions lingered in his heart, which made people irritated. He simply stopped thinking about it and silently said to Lugo: "Thank you."

"There is no need to thank me." Lugo stared straight ahead and said silently, "If you want to thank me, just thank the person who trained me."

Perseus knew what Lugo meant by what he said, and could even guess why he wanted to seize the military power in the northern mining area when he encountered the invasion of the remnants of the Six Kings.

This man is obviously a ruffian with a mercenary background, but he is so understanding of righteousness and full of courage. I really don't know whether to say that he was taught well by others, or that he is just a pearl in the dust.
