Damn, I recarneted As A Judge in Fantasy World

It was impossible to pursue those light cavalry right away.

They were running away on purpose, so how on earth were we going to catch them? I'm not a bird, and I couldn't catch up with a horse that had already moved far away. So, there's only one thing left.

"If I ask the mustache, something will come out."

Besides, there are the five knights who fell from their horses earlier. It would be possible to figure out why Skyler was trying to take out the bandits. But surprisingly, it wasn't an easy task.

"I will exercise my right to remain silent. This is a matter of Gaju family dispute, so please summon the head of the family. I am Viscount Denzel Morales."

That was what the mustachioed guy was saying. Here, "Gaju" refers to the Duke of Sierre. When it came to this, there was nothing I could do right away.

'I would like to use the classic method.'

If i just hit him a few times, it'll blow easily.

But that was not the right thing to do.

How can someone as high as a judge of the empire conduct an illegal investigation?

Besides, isn't the opponent a vassal of the Duke of Sierre? It was impossible to hide it completely.

Of course, if i do things like water torture or sandbagging, my reputation will be tarnished.

"Okay. Then. Let's hand it over to the prosecutor's office."

"This happened near the capital, so please send it to the police."

Count Morales demanded with a confident expression. It seemed like he was in high spirits because I was taking a step back. But I had absolutely no intention of granting his demands.

"Do you have any connections with the Capital Police?"

"No way. I just want things to be handled according to the law."

The criminal bastard's specialty had come out. When I pressed for payment of the overdue amount, the company changed the subject, saying that it was in difficult circumstances.

Even in modern society, there are many cases of small debts not being repaid. The thing that comes out at that time is to do it according to the law. It was the same now.

The guy who always sticks his duck feet out always says things like this. But I shook my head and took out a large book.

"Can you see it?"

"What is that?"

"What is it? It's the Imperial Code. Now, read from here."

"Can the court order an investigation ex officio into a case it has become aware of?"

"Me? The Supreme Judge of the Empire. This case? I experienced it myself."

"… … ."

The word 'where' was missing from the legal text. What this meant was that you could designate it at your own discretion.

"Do you have anything else to say?"

"Nothing."

"Yes. Then. Sir McNeil!"

I immediately called the escort knight.

Even though the capital was close, it was difficult to control a crowd of over a hundred people. If we just let it go like this, they would all run away halfway through.

Of course, it would be safe if I, who has absolute power, accompanied them. In addition, assistance was also essential.

Because i can't be on edge 24 hours a day.

"But where on earth did this human go?"

Cordell McNeil, who should have been responding to the call, was nowhere to be seen.

Clearly, just a moment ago, we were fighting against the forces of the Duke of Sierre.

"Ah?"

I snapped my fingers as a scene suddenly came to mind. The heavy infantry carried their shields in front and were huddled together tightly.

But Cordell couldn't do that.

He was probably caught in the aftermath of a devastating retribution. If so, he must be lying around somewhere nearby.

As expected, a low groan was heard from the grass by the roadside.

"Euuuu! Your Majesty…."

"Oh, Sir McNeil! You're alive?"

"I almost died."

"I'm fine, so stop talking nonsense and come out quickly."

"...yes."

Cordell, who had been sprawled in a hole beyond the bushes, suddenly sat up. In the first place, it wasn't an attack that would kill someone with that kind of skill. Didn't even the heavy infantrymen who hadn't mastered the aura survive? Then of course this person is okay.

"Hey kid, you're kidding."

I glanced at Cordell's face.

His expression was no different from usual.

But somehow his complexion seemed to have turned pale. And then, a gaze that secretly glanced at me. At that moment, I realized.

The fact that this escort knight was secretly trembling with fear.

"I guess that's the only way."

Blue lightning engulfed in red flames.

If we had seen the earth shake as a giant hammer swung, everyone would have had the same reaction. I wasn't just amazed by the shape.

Cordell McNeil is a knight of considerable stature. He would have felt firsthand the extreme power contained in the heart of the beast and its devastating retribution.

I said with a sly smile, "Sir McNeil?"

"Yes?"

"Arrest all them."

"Me?"

"Then who will do it? Take the mercenaries and capture them all."

"I am here solely to protect Your Majesty… … ."

He was a much more stubborn guy than I thought. I thought he would have become more refined by now, but the essence had not changed at all.

No matter how tightly shut he was, he was helpless in the face of a real threat.

Swish.

As I took out the gavel, Cordell stamped his feet in haste.

"Of course I should do it. I'll be back!"

This makes one thing certain. The stick is more effective than the carrot.

'Every motherfucker needs the same solution.'

Taming Cordell was something that time would take care of anyway. Now it's our golden one.

It was time to trace the stench of crime emanating from Skyler Sierra. Of course, before that, we should hand these rotten guys over to the prosecutor's office.

Or who knows why more trouble they will bring me.
