The preparations for the trial were exceptionally thorough.
Esdeath had not only gathered extensive evidence of the Revolutionary Army colluding with non-native people and endangering the Empire's security.
On the eve of the trial, Esdeath had personally selected over a thousand civilians who had suffered through the war as witnesses.
Among them were orphaned widows and mothers who had lost their loved ones, as well as displaced people whose homes had been destroyed. Every word of their testimony was filled with anger and grief over the Revolutionary Army's collusion with non-native people.
