Chapter 35 Chapter 5 Justice

Count Mathias Sandov finished repaying the kindness of Maria and Luigi Fercharto.Mrs. Bathory, Pierre, and Sharapova are finally reunited, and after repaying kindness, only punishment is left. In the days after the Sanusi believers failed to escape, the people of the whole island immediately began to recover their homes. The protagonists of this counterattack, such as Pierre, Luigi, Berskad and Matif, were injured. , but not serious, despite the thrilling, but all safe and sound.So what joy must have been in their hearts when they were reunited with Sawa, Maria, Lady Bathory, and the old servant Boric in the great halls of the Town Hall!After the funerals are held for the warriors who died in the battle, the small immigrant island will resume its former happy life.Nothing can spoil it anymore.The Sanusi Cultists suffered a disastrous defeat, and Sarkani, who instigated the attack on Antaiket, had been captured, and could no longer fan the flames and spread the idea of ​​revenge.In addition, the doctor needs to improve the defense system of the whole island in a short period of time, not only to make Atenak City avoid any attack, but also to make Antekyt Island no longer have any weak points for the enemy to land.In addition, they must be busy attracting new immigrants and fully exploiting the island's resources so that people can live a truly happy life.

Of course, the marriage of Pierre Bathory and Sara Sandov will not have any more twists and turns, and the wedding will take place on December 9th as originally planned.So Boscade began to actively prepare for the celebrations that had been delayed for the invasion of Cyrenaica pirates. However, there must be no delay in the sentencing of Saccani, Silas Doronta, and Carpena.They were held separately in the bunker in the city, and they didn't even know each other that they were all in the hands of Dr. Antekit. On December 6th two days had passed since the Sanusi Cultists had been routed.The doctor will judge Saccani, Doronta, and Carpena in the hall of the town hall.The parties to the prosecution were the doctor, Pierre and Luigi.

Under the escort of the militia squad, the three criminals met for the first time in court.The Court of Atenac was made up of the island's first judges. Carpena looked anxious, but his sinister and cunning expression remained the same. He looked around furtively, but he dared not look directly at the judge. Silas Dronta, on the other hand, drooped his head in dismay, instinctively avoiding contact with his old accomplice. There was only one feeling in Sarkani's mind, and that was the rage at falling into the hands of Dr. Antekit. At this moment Luigi came up to the judge and said to the Spaniard:

"Carpena, I am Luigi Fercharto, the son of Fisherman Andrea! It was your informant who sent my father to Stan Prison, where he died!" Carpena stood upright for a moment.His anger rose, his eyes were bloodshot, and it turned out that the woman he thought he had misunderstood on the small street of Mandracho in Malta was Maria.And Luigi Feihato, who is standing in front of her and accusing herself, is her younger brother. Pierre then stepped forward, pointing first to the banker, and said: "Silas Dronta, I am Pierre Batory, son of Étienne Batory. My father was a Hungarian patriot, and it was you who, along with Saccany, shamelessly betrayed him to The Austrian police in Trieste! You killed him."

Then, he pointed to Sakani again: "I am the Pierre Bathory whom you tried to murder in the streets of Raguza! I am Sharapova's fiancé! And she is the daughter of Count Matthias Sandov, whom you sent Abducted her from Attenac Castle five years ago." Silas Dronta recognized Pierre Bathory, whom he thought dead, as if struck with a club. And Sakani, with his arms folded, except for a slight trembling of his eyelids, still looked indifferent and indifferent. Silas Doronta and Sakani said nothing.What can they say in the face of victims who seem to have crawled out of the grave to accuse them?

When Dr. Antekit stood up, the situation was different.He said in a deep voice: "I am the partner of Ladisla Zatmar and Etienne Bathory. Your betrayal caused them to be brutally murdered in Bissino Castle! I am Sawa's father! You are trying to capture her to kidnap her for her property! . . . I am Count Sandorf!" This time, the accusations had enormous effect.Silas Doronta heard this, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.And Sakani finally lowered his head, as if in reflection. So the three defendants were tried one by one.Their crimes cannot be denied and cannot be forgiven.The chief judge also reminded Sarkani that the attack on the island was entirely for his personal benefit, and it caused heavy casualties, so the debt was paid in blood.Then there is the criminal's defense of his freedom.At last the Chief Justice executed the sentence, according to the authority vested in him by this regular and just court.

"Silas Dronta, Saccani, Carpena," he said, "you have killed Etienne Bathory, Ladisla Zatmar, and Andrea Ferjato .You are sentenced to death!" "It's up to you!" Sakani still looked indifferent. "Spare me!" Calpena shouted timidly. Silas Dronta was powerless to say anything more. The three criminals were taken back to the bunker and kept under strict surveillance. How to execute these rascals?Find a corner of the island and shoot them?Wouldn't that have stained the land of Antakit with the blood of the villain?So, the execution will be carried out on Ken Clover Isle.

That night, under the command of Luigi Feihato, dozens of militiamen escorted the three criminals to the island on an electric speedboat.There, they will end their life of sin. Saccani, Silas Dronta, and Carpena have realized that their time has come.So, once ashore, Saccani made a beeline for Luigi. "Just tonight?" he asked. Lu Ji said nothing, and the three condemned prisoners were left alone.It was night when the Electric Horn returned to Antakit. Now, there are no more traitors on the island.As for the escape of the three criminals from the small island of Ken Clover, twenty kilometers away from the mainland, it is absolutely impossible.

"If they don't wait until tomorrow, they will kill each other," said Povante Boscade. "Bah!" Mattif spat in disgust. The night passed, and in the town hall, it was found that Count Sandov had not rested for a moment. He locked the door behind his back and did not leave until five o'clock in the morning. He went downstairs to the hall and asked for Pierre and Luigi to be found. A militia firing squad was waiting in the town hall yard to be executed on Kenclaver Isle at his command. "Pierre Bathory, Luigi Fercharto," said Count Sandov, "is it entirely just that these traitors were sentenced to death?"

"Yes, they deserved to die!" replied Pierre. "Yes." Lu Ji echoed, "I can't spare these scoundrels!" "Judge them! God will forgive us, we will never forgive them..." Earl Sandov hadn't finished speaking when a terrible explosion sounded, like an earthquake, shaking the city hall and even the whole island. Count Sandov, Pierre, and Luigi rushed out of the door immediately, and the frightened residents of Antekyte also rushed out of the house. Flames, water vapor, mixed with boulders and hail-like stones soared into the sky, straight into the sky, as if the entire sky was covered, and then, the stones fell like raindrops on the sea around the island, setting off layers of waves. the spray, while the thick cloud stays in the sky.

The small island of Kenclafe was reduced to ashes in the explosion, along with three prisoners on death row. What happened? Don't forget, in order to prevent the Sanusi believers from landing on Kenclaver, not only explosives were laid on the island, but also electric devices were buried. , all mines will explode at the same time. Here's the thing.One of the three prisoners accidentally stepped on one of the electric devices, which detonated all the mines and turned the island into smoke in an instant. "God has spared us this errand!" said Count Matthias Sanddorf. Three days later, Pierre Bathory and Sawa Sandov were married at Antekyte Church.Taking this opportunity, Dr. Antekit resumed his real name, Matthias Sandov, and signed the marriage certificate, since justice had been done, and he no longer had to remain anonymous. It only takes a few sentences to end this story. Three weeks later, Sawa Bathory was confirmed as the heir to Count Sandov's estate.Mrs. Doronta's letter, as well as the statement made by the previous banker on the circumstances and purpose of abducting the little girl, are sufficient to prove Sharapova's identity.Even though Sawa was not yet eighteen, the remaining portion of the Transylvanian domain of the Carpathians was hers. In addition, the amnesty granted to political prisoners allowed Count Sandov to return to his domain.But even if he re-identified Matthias Sanddorf, he would still prefer to be regarded as the patriarch of the extended Antekyte family.Here he will spend his old age in peace among those who loved him. Thanks to the efforts of the people again, the small immigrant island quickly became stronger.In less than a year, the population doubled.Scholars and inventors came here to practice their inventions under the call of Earl Sandov.Without the earl's guidance and the backing of his wealth, these inventions may not be able to be used.And all of this made Antakit Island quickly become an extremely important small island in the Gulf of Sylt.And with the improvement of the island's defense system, safety will never be a problem. Not to mention Madame Bathory, Maria, Luigi, Pierre, and Sawa, whose lives were happier than we can describe.There was no need to speak of Powante Boscard and Cap Matiff, who were already respected figures on Antakit.If they had any regrets, it was the feeling that they would never have another chance to repay the Count who had given them such a happy life. Count Matthias Sanddorf has done his job.If he had not so missed his two companions, the dead Etienne Batory and Ladisla Zatmar, he would have been as happy as any brave man in the world as he spread happiness. In all the Mediterranean, in no other ocean on earth, not even in the Canary Islands, is there an island as prosperous as Antekyte! ...unlikely. And Matiff, when he thought of how happy he was, could not help saying: "Actually, do we deserve such happiness for what we do?" "Whatever it is, Matiff .
