1209. Death of an idealist
"Actually, this matter has nothing to do with her." Tang Xiao said, "However, since she can't even take care of her own children, how can she entrust the diplomatic and political affairs of an entire planet to her? So, if you die, you will die. Well. If you are interested, Count Dooku, let’s watch it together.”
"Hahahaha! Very good, very good!" Count Dooku laughed.
Soon, on the high platform outside the Unity Temple, the trial, which had been delayed for almost 20 minutes, finally began.
Many people in the capital also came to the square and watched the farce from a distance. In fact, for these low-level civilians, they don't care whether it's the rebels or the king. As long as they have a job, food to eat, a place to live, and a wife and children to support them, that's enough.
Therefore, they really came to watch the fun. The bloody and primitive punishment of beheading can also stimulate the dark side in their hearts that they dare not touch.
Soon, General Kalani came to the high platform surrounded by IG-100 guard robots. On the other side was the dejected commander of the planet's highest armed forces, General Akhenate Tandin.
Without any more nonsense, General Kalani said directly: "Then, public trials and executions of those who collaborated with the rebels will now begin."
After saying that, he gave way to the side and gave the main place to the prisoner.
Then, the Supreme Court judge stood up and read out the content of this public trial and execution. Basically, he said that these people were acting for personal gain, accepting bribes from the rebels, allowing the rebels to destroy planetary property, and causing large-scale civilian casualties, and then charged with treason. Discussing things like that.
Former planet councilor, Mina Bontry was escorted out. Her hands were handcuffed behind her back. She was still wearing the formal dress she wore when she went to the meeting that night, but at this moment her face was haggard and haggard, without any energy.
The battle robot led her to the guillotine, made her kneel down, and put her head in a wooden shackle.
"Former Planet Councilor Mina Bontry! On October 29 last year, because of your intelligence leak, the rebels successfully destroyed our warehouse on the west side of the city, and a large number of weapons reserves were blown up! On January 7 this year, several Rebel members were rescued, which was also leaked from you, and the Thor mecha was attacked... In the past month, there have been 7 rebel attacks related to the information you provided. You Are you aware of your guilt?!" the judge asked loudly.
Mina Bonteri closed her eyes and said seriously: "I am guilty. I leaked all this information, and it was out of my personal will and has nothing to do with others. I am willing to bear all the culpability..."
In an inconspicuous corner among the crowd, Lukes-Bontry was wrapping his whole body in a cloak to prevent others from seeing him.
He watched the trial from a distance, watching his mother on the stage, taking all the blame on herself.
She obviously knew it! She obviously knew it! ! Lux's shoulders were shaking violently, her tears couldn't stop flowing down, and she was roaring in her heart. She knew clearly that all of this was done by me, it was all done by me! Why plead guilty! Why! ?
He looked at his mother kneeling on the ground like the lowest slave, locked in wooden shackles. It was clear that a few days ago, she was a high-spirited planetary council member! Why! Why! !
Why? Don’t you know it yourself?
There seemed to be a voice saying to myself in my heart.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Lux-Bontry could only keep repeating these words. How he wished all this could happen again, how he wished all this had never happened.
He didn't know Saw Gerrera, wasn't inspired by him to join the resistance, didn't hack into his mother's computer without permission, steal the information and give it to them!
He doesn't even do these things for money! Apart from giving him a few words of mild praise, Sogerrera obviously didn't give him anything! But he still thinks that he is doing it for the righteousness of the planet and the freedom of the nation! !
"According to your crime, you will be sentenced to death! Executed immediately! Are you still
Have something to say? "The judge said.
Lux-Bontry looked at the stage in despair and kept chanting, "Who will save her...who will save her...who will save her...who will save her..."
How he wished someone could fall from the sky and rescue his mother.
But this is impossible.
After the plan to raid the Thor Mecha was ambushed and suffered heavy losses, the rebels had regarded the incident as a conspiracy, a conspiracy carried out by him. So-Gerrera even directly believed that it was the false information he sent deliberately, which led them into the trap.
There was no way the rebels were coming to save her mother.
Jedi? I heard they have left here.
Republic? They support the rebels behind the scenes, but in the final analysis they just don’t want to actually send troops.
no one! No one can save Mina Bontry.
At this time, I only heard Mina Bontry on the stage shouting: "This is not your fault! Lukes! This is not your fault!! You are right! Look around us! Look at these Robots! They control the entire planet!! For them, whether the king or the councillors, they are just tools that can be replaced at any time! You are right Lukes! Stick to the path you have chosen! Keep going!! "
But Count Dooku, who was watching remotely from the side, would not let her continue. He made a gesture through the holographic projection, and the IG-100 guard robot beside him immediately pressed the button.
Mina Bontri closed her eyes, and countless images flashed through her mind.
When she was taking classes with Padmé Amidala as a teacher on the planet Naboo... When she was looking forward to the future as a member of the Onderon delegation on the planet Coruscant... After the Sanj-Rashi coup, she When she took over as a planet councilor...when the war broke out and she followed Count Dooku's footsteps without hesitation...when she realized the evil of war and worked hard for peace...when Ainle-Tim returned, she joined the ring. When sending out... And, on that last night, when she was arguing with her son Lux-Bontry...
All dreams and realities have turned into nothing... However, it seems that I have not accomplished anything... I am not willing to accept it...
A tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
At the same time, a sharp guillotine fell!
Uh-huh! Blood splattered and the cold head rolled to the ground.
With a pop, the headless corpse fell to the ground, and blood spurted out from the broken neck, dyeing the red carpet deeper.
"Hahahahaha!! The traitor finally got the punishment he deserved!!" Count Dooku laughed.
"Although it's a pity, it's her own fault." Tang Xiao said lightly.
"The last time she disturbed the political arena of our Confederation of Independent Systems for that ridiculous peace initiative, she should have been killed! Your Excellency, Governor, you are so merciful! Hahahahaha!" Count Dooku said with a smile.
"This also proves your far-sighted vision, Count Dooku." A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, and he turned around and said, "You are the only one who can lead the Confederacy to move forward."
"Obviously, we should plan more, right? Governor... Your Majesty?" Count Dooku's smile suddenly faded, and he responded with an equally unpredictable smile.
…
At the same time, in another direction in the audience, the resistance fighter Stella Guerrera was saying to his companions: "Quick! We must find Lukes! We misunderstood him! He includes his mother Mina - Bontrey, he was just being used! We can't let Lukes sink into despair like this!"
"Some of us saw him over there just now and have already sent people there," another soldier said.
"He's gone..." A panting warrior ran over and gasped, "Someone saw him leaving just now. He was mixed in the crowd and couldn't find him..."
"We must find him! I can understand the despair in his heart now. We should not abandon him!" Stella said firmly.
…
At this moment, in another dark corner, Sogerrera, who also wrapped himself tightly, looked at the execution on the stage coldly, with a cold look in his eyes.
…
"No... things shouldn't be like this..." On the spaceship, Anakin Skywalker, who witnessed the murder of Mina Bontelli, scratched his hair in annoyance.
He knew Mina Bontry. Before the war broke out, he escorted Padmé Amidala to secretly leave the planet Coruscant. He met her on the way, and she helped him and his group escape. Searching robot.
Including the later peace initiative movement, it also gave Anakin more recognition of Mina Bontelli. But it was this recognition that made him believe the intelligence brought by Lux Bontry, because he always thought it was Mina Bontry's secret instruction.
But Mina Bontri told him with her headless body and splattered blood that she had no idea.
This is the worst case scenario!
"We made a very wrong choice...in every sense..." Anakin Skywalker lowered his head and said, "The only way now is to report to the Galactic Republic and give Saw Gerrera and the others more help. .”
However, his apprentice Ahsoka Tano just looked out the window and asked quietly: "Do you still believe in Saw Gerrera? Master."
"Although he has a bad temper, he is a brave warrior." Anakin answered.
Ahsoka Tano, however, just looked out the window at the planet Onderon that was fading away, and whispered: "After reporting to the Republic, the only possibility is to send troops here..."
"indeed so……"
"Then the fate of this planet is not in their own hands after all..."
