He wanted to ask if his master’s psychic power had calmed down, but his teammates had already swiftly put an oxygen mask over his mouth and, with many hands, lifted him onto the hovering stretcher.

The rescue team quickly dragged the stretcher back to the medical shuttle. They thought that since he had fought his way in and out of the Black Gate’s headquarters, he must be gravely injured. However, after a thorough examination, they found not a single wound on Asaga.
His teammates were baffled. n2ehd7
But they could only give Asaga a nutrient infusion and let him sleep and rest for a while.
As it turned out, the decision to give him a nutrient infusion in advance was correct.
Because as soon as the medical shuttle arrived at Heka Star System’s port, Asaga, still in his battle-damaged armor, was immediately taken away by several Wolf Knights.
Except for the troops still practicing on the frontlines, all soldiers, officers, and even recruits in Heka Star System’s military camp received the notice of the military tribunal. SMTkPF
This was the first public military trial for the entire camp since the reconstruction of the Heka Star System.
And the protagonist of the trial turned out to be the legendary soldier who had achieved glorious feats during the Hunting Season.
Asaga had blatantly disobeyed the highest military order during the troop withdrawal phase and pursued the Star Pirates into their territory. Disobeying orders on the battlefield was always a serious crime in the military. All the officers knew that this trial would be hard to turn around, especially with Nero, who was known for his uncompromising stance on such matters.
But to say they weren’t at all regretful would be a lie. Tv3RAb
Asaga’s combat prowess was well-known, and given time, he would undoubtedly become an invincible force on the battlefield.
Yet he had to commit such a grave mistake just as he was beginning to show his potential…
However, if Asaga were to be shielded simply because of his individual achievements, it would undoubtedly set a terrible precedent in Heka Star System’s military camp—
In the future, any soldier with some capability might emulate Asaga on the battlefield, violating their commander’s orders to gain military merits. eowbrX
If everyone scrambled for glory, how could they fight a war?
“Sigh. Really.” An old imperial general took off his glasses, sorrowfully wiping the lenses, “What on earth was he thinking?”

Occasionally, someone would glance up, sneaking a look at the steps in front of the courtroom.
Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
There, the silver-haired, red-eyed young tyrant sat expressionlessly on the highest throne, with several rows of scarlet banners hanging behind him.
His sharp red eyes looked down coldly, his lips pressed into a tight line, making it impossible to guess his thoughts. MBsWbx
Behind him to the right stood solemn Wolf Knights, holding their weapons; to the left, sat the Supreme Commander of the Heka Star System, Hermann Heidrich.
Further down the steps were the Chief Justice, several military prosecutors, and the jury.
“The court is now in session. Summon the imperial criminal, Asaga, to appear!”
With the sound of clashing shackles and armor, a tall man slowly appeared in the center of the courtroom. sVTdlu
After days of fierce fighting, he had fallen asleep as soon as he drank the nutrient solution on the medical shuttle, and his teammates hadn’t disturbed him.
No one expected Asaga to go on trial as soon as he returned to Heka Star System, resulting in the man still wearing his nearly shattered armor, with bloodstained, dirty long curly hair, and dried bloodstains on his face.
He just silently lowered his head, his hands cuffed in front of him, standing alone in the vast courtroom, like a stray dog that had just crawled out of a garbage bin.
“In the name of the Empire, swear. What you say in this court must come from your heart…” GgLJvX
The prosecutor read the courtroom discipline, then had Asaga take an oath. The military prosecutors at the table cleared their throats, opened the holographic screen, and began their work.
“Asaga, during the Heka Star System’s Hunting Season military operation on the 28th, you ignored Heka Star System’s military regulation number twenty-eight, and left your fleet on the battlefield without authorization. Is this true?”
“Yes.”
“Then, you ignored the highest military order of Heka Star System, not only failing to retreat with the fleet but continuing to pursue the enemy fleet, even entering the heart of the Black Gate’s territory. Is this true?” 7hWKuM
“Yes.”
“Did you fully understand the highest military order at the time, which stated that ‘any disobedient pursuit will be handed over to the Heka Star System’s military court and executed by firing squad in front of all soldiers’?”
“Yes.”
“What drove you to disobey the military order?” w6WyPr
Asaga silently stared at the floor. After a moment, he finally spoke, “Because I coveted military merit.”
The courtroom erupted in murmurs, but quickly fell silent again.

The silver-haired Emperor remained indifferent, but because the throne was too far away, no one noticed his fingers trembling with rage.
“…Objection!!” oy3QGF
The defense attorney stood up abruptly, having to push the proceedings forward significantly due to Asaga’s shocking words.
“According to the testimony of Commander Abel and the mecha soldiers on the same ship, Asaga learned that the successor Leader of the Black Gate had repeatedly spread slanderous rumors about His Majesty among the Star Pirates, which drove him to recklessly infiltrate the headquarters and take the Leader’s head!!
“According to the Imperial Law, the Emperor and his Royal Family should be revered, and the dignity of the Royal Family is inviolable! All acts of offense and desecration against the Royal Family can be treated as major treason, punishable by exile, imprisonment, or death; and those who capture the treasonous offenders should be highly rewarded!”
Lmaooo why do I get the feeling asaga is a quivering m
