Utopia, Saigon City.
The Barbarian Forest, Diess Town.
..
Diess Town, was originally an unnamed gathering place.
It was named Diess Town, after the Diess assassin Organization settled here.
The leader of the Diess assassin Organization, proclaimed himself as the Diess lord.
The other three assassin leaders, proclaimed themselves as the Diess elder.
The registered fighters of the Diess Organization, only had the strength of one company, divided into three platoons.
There are about a hundred people, all of whom are professional assassins.
..
This morning, in the center of Diess Town, at an open-air square.
Dozens of beast-bots of the Diess Organization, lined up on the periphery of the open-air square.
Dozens of assassins of the Diess Organization, are all fully armed.
And carried intelligent thermal weapons, on their backs.
The main leaders and members of the Diess assassins gathered together.
They ate meat and drank wine heartily.
In the assassin world, this is called the "last meal".
If the assassination target is beheaded, the "last meal" is to celebrate the success of the mission.
If one's own assassins are beheaded, the "last meal" becomes a funeral to see the assassins off.
..
The Diess assassin Organization, finally received a big order.
This "last meal", is unusually sumptuous.
The atmosphere at the scene, is also unusually lively.
Just when the assassins are talking loudly, and looking forward to the future,
two beast-bot bounty hunters, suddenly arrived.
In front of all the assassins, they presented the death duel ruling order, through holographic projection.
The noisy scene of the "last meal", suddenly became silent, so quiet that, could hear a pin drop.
..
The Diess lord, is instantly scared pale.
He trembling all over, and even wet his pants a little.
Under the gaze of everyone, with dozens of assassins watching.
The Diess lord, could only pretend to be calm.
He put on an air of fearlessness, and a spirit of facing death bravely, as the leader of a assassin organization.
Engaged in the assassin industry, and living a life on the edge of the knife.
Diess lord, had long expected this day to come.
He had also been prepared long ago, and had recorded a holographic image, of his farewell speech, in advance.
Diess lord, sent the farewell speech, to the holographic projection conference device, of the Diess Organization.
..
According to the "Eighth Law of Machines" (Law of Contract) [The Law of Robot Neutrality]:
When the contract host, and the contract employer, are presented with the ruling order.
The contract robots, remain neutral.
According to the "Fourth Law of Machines" (Law of Defense) [The Law of Not Active Attack]:
It is prohibited to use thermal weapons, to actively attack robots.
It is prohibited for robots, to actively attack other robots.
Although there are dozens of beast-bots, and dozens of thermal weapons, at the scene,
none of them could stop the next actions, of the bounty hunters.
The only thing, could stop the bounty hunters' actions, is the cold weapons of the assassins.
However, attacking beast-bots equipped with thermal weapons with cold weapons.
Is tantamount to courting death.
..
The Diess lord, could not provide counter-evidence.
The duel ruling, took effect immediately.

If counter-evidence could be provided that, the assassin team was acting privately, and had nothing to do with the Diess Organization.
The duel ruling of the Diess lord, and the war ruling of the Diess Organization, would be invalid.
If the Diess lord, could provide evidence to prove, the action instructions, were issued by the superior to which he was affiliated.
