The Medallion novel Chapter 177

The next day, Marin gathered the whole army and brought Rocky on trial in front of all the soldiers at the battlefield of the northeast military camp.

As a result, the whole battlefield never looked so crowded as it was today. People filled the whole battlefield so quickly as if this was what they were waiting for their whole lives. The moment Rocky was taken to the battlefield, people around him immediately pointed at him and talked about him one after another. Everyone was saying something that it was almost hard to make out what it was about or who said what.

"This guy is a complete lunatic, a rapist, a cold-blooded killer, and a real disgrace to our entire northeast military camp."

"Yes, you are right. Although he used to be a little weakling, he also had his own skills and reputation. But now, I didn't expect him to be a black-hearted guy who relied on his strength and did so many evil things."

"I'm afraid that after he had killed so many people, his only fate will be a quick death. His first-class merit just meant nothing to him. In the end, he still brings himself his own destruction."

For a moment, the whole battlefield was very noisy and bustling, the voices criticizing Rocky could be heard one after another. Everyone had something to say. In the eyes of almost all the army, Rocky was already notorious and a disgrace to the entire military camp.

Meanwhile, Rocky wasn't the only one getting all the hate. The sixth squad's spirit manipulators were also suffering from the contemptuous looks from the soldiers all around them because Rocky was their captain.

"I didn't expect that our captain was a pervert and a crazy killer. We should have never trusted him so much before!" one of the sixth squad's spirit manipulators complained in a low voice, his eyes full of disdain. They tried so hard to disassociate themselves from him in order to avoid criticism.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Our captain is definitely not that kind of person. Don't forget that he had saved our lives!" Thor retorted back and stared angrily at him as soon as he heard the harsh words about his captain. He believed Rocky so much and he hated to hear anyone say anything to slander him.

"Even though he had saved us before, so what? His actions have brought huge disgrace to our squad. Now, we don't even dare to hold up our heads high among other members of squads. In the past, we only had to suffer some petty sneers. Yet now, whenever we go, we will be disdained. Because of such a captain, we're not much better than a piece of smelly garbage!" another spirit manipulator of the sixth squad grumbled. He wasn't so close to Rocky and only felt that he was badly influenced by Rocky's behaviors.

"You are so ungrateful! Have you forgotten what he had done for us? I trust our captain! He is innocent and he won't do such things to ruin his reputation. You all just wait and see! The truth will be brought to light sooner or later," cried Joss in a huff. Both he and Thor were willing to trust their captain no matter what happened. They also did not believe he was capable of doing such unspeakable crimes.

When the crowd was in hot discussions, Marin and the other two Deputy Commanders looked on as they sat on the martial arts platform at the end of the battlefield. Soon enough, Rocky was taken there.

Looking up at Marin, Rocky saw Marin's face was so indifferent. Her eyes were cold towards him. It wasn't the reaction he was expecting at all. He immediately felt a little strange and thought, 'Why is she staring at me coldly? What has she found out?' All of a sudden, he felt a very sinister glance casting upon him from sideway. He turned around and saw Evan who was standing not so far away from him. He was looking at Rocky with a satisfied and wicked smile on his face. He was obviously glad at Rocky's predicament.

"Deputy Commander Chen, please announce the results of your investigation yesterday," Marin said and signaled him to begin.

Deputy Commander Chen nodded. He immediately got up, stood in front of the martial arts platform, looked around the army, then looked at Rocky. He took a deep breath and began to announce loudly and slowly, "After yesterday's careful investigation, there is solid evidence to prove that the one responsible for the innocent villager' deaths and the rape of the young girl is… none other than Rocky."
