Kroftz's fate was already beyond doubt. Once he went before the Military Court, there was basically no room for redemption.
The Military Court represented the highest authority of the Great Qian Empire's military and could not be defied.
Even an existence like the Parax Family could not disregard the Military Court's authority and rescue Kroftz.
Kroftz's military career was effectively over. He would lose all his positions and authority, and might even lose his life.
With the great war having only just ended, attempting to assassinate a Military Department martial warrior who had just rendered great merit was already a grave offense against the military's authority.
Moreover, such news could not possibly be concealed. Once it spread, it would enrage countless Military Department martial warriors.
They fought Darkness Breeds on the front lines, disregarding life and death, only to face assassination attempts from their fellow humans. What kind of logic was that?
Though they had not been the ones targeted, it did not stop them from sharing the same hatred.
Once such a precedent was set, it would keep happening again and again in the future.
Under such circumstances, failing to punish Kroftz would not be enough to quell the fury of the military's martial warriors.
After General Mokarun and the others left, Wang Teng also rose and left the hall. His expression was exceedingly calm—so calm that Kroftz found it hard to accept.
Having brought down an enemy like him, shouldn't Wang Teng have been happy?
Why did he look as though he had merely done something trivial?
Kroftz could not accept such disdain, because it meant Wang Teng had never regarded him as worthy of notice.
To be looked down upon by someone he had considered a nobody was undoubtedly the greatest blow to him, a defeated man.
