Mercenaries and Adventurers

At noon, in the central square of Grass Rat Town.

Townspeople from most of the town gathered with the tinkling of copper bells.

Most of them were talking in whispers, and the topics were all related to the fighting and chaos that had occurred in the slums in the morning.

The lord's knights and the dispatched soldiers; the strangely spreading black smoke; and what surprised everyone—the largest gang in the slums, the Yisi Knife Gang, was cleared by the lord.

Everyone is excited and cautious, that's the biggest gang in town!

To be honest, almost everyone in the town has more or less dealt with the Yisi Knife Gang in their lives. Some people lost their lives after contacting this gang, some were beaten or lost limbs, and some People are trapped in the abyss of debt, and some people make a fortune by virtue of it. Some people hate it, some people don't care about it, and some people are just curious about how many people will die next , and they were also curious about how many people were killed or injured when the gang was wiped out.

Because before noon, all the middle and low-level priests in the town were called by the lord to use healing spells to heal the wounded soldiers during the operation, and to stabilize the lives of the seriously injured prisoners.

At this time, on the wooden high platform in the middle of the relatively wide central square, an executioner covered his face with a black cloth slowly walked up. Seeing this person, the surrounding people let out "Oh!" in surprise and excitement.

The executioner was dressed in black all over, with a black cloth hood covering his head, and only his eyes were exposed through a gap. In his hands is a red two-handed axe.

But most of the townspeople don't know who the ax belongs to.

But if the soldiers under the lord took a look, they must know that the owner of the ax was their soldier captain, Furlong.

As the most **** soldier captain under the lord, and also a subordinate of the lord who was an old subordinate when he was in the army, he naturally took over the offending job of the executioner without any dispute.

Of course, Furlong doesn't care about killing people who are sentenced to death. After all, every prisoner who needs to be executed must be the enemy and obstacle of his lord knight, or in other words, an enemy who violates the master's power and wealth , naturally also his enemy.

For the enemy, he has always hacked the opponent to death with an axe.

At this time, there was a noise from the street facing the lord's mansion, and the people along the street pushed back to both sides of the road, making way for the heavily armed soldiers.

Among the soldiers were gang members whose hands were bound and whose mouths were gagged.

Among them, most of the thugs of the Yisi Knife Gang were only slightly injured. The bluish-purple faces of the beatings were fine, and they were more than nervous. They knew that their lives were probably not in danger, so they could still walk normally. However, some of the personnel whose heads were covered with black cloth were dragged on the ground by soldiers from left to right.

These people are all serious criminals, and most of the results will be bad after waiting. Several of them can no longer walk at this time.

Not only was he injured before, but there was no reason for him to heal well. Also, in order to prevent the prisoners from resisting or escaping, before coming, the soldiers had already twisted off the limbs and joints of these people viciously.

Naturally, they couldn't move and had to be dragged away by soldiers.

Behind the prisoners and soldiers were the knights of Rusvis-Anvina with two giant axes on their backs. The knight strode in the middle of the road, filling up the road vacated by the people by himself.

In addition, his nephew Pawe-Anvina also followed, also wearing a soldier's protective leather jacket, carrying a blood-stained weapon, and actively followed his lord uncle.

And behind the two of them were other members of the knight family who held positions in the town, and these people whispered to each other.

At the end of the line, the last one to come was a group from Kendall in the north.

Most of Kiel and his group were covered in blood. Even though they had been wiped with a damp cloth in the knight's mansion before, the smell of blood and the slightly red armor on their bodies were still very conspicuous.

However, among the Kendall people, the woman who was taken away from outside the town—Fanni—is no longer in the team at this time.

In front of the knight in the knight's mansion, the girl had already identified one of the captured thief apprentices—Gerbo, the murderer who killed Kendall's caravan.

After Gerbo was identified, he did not argue, and only stared at the young girl who identified him with cold eyes. Several of their captured thief apprentices already knew that their teacher, the thief Isi, died at the hands of the young warrior led by the Kendals.

It is said that bullying the weak and fearing the strong is true. At this moment, this guy had the guts to stare at Fanny viciously, but he didn't have the guts to look at Kiel, and even avoided looking at Kiel and the others who stood calmly aside.

After their arrogance disappeared, they knew that there was no chance of being rescued by others, and they also knew that the next result would not be very good, so everyone readily admitted the crimes committed by various gangs.

As the direct subordinates of the thief Isi, they were involved in knowing all the big and small things of the gang. Therefore, among the many captured members of the gang, some seemingly harmless guys who were actually **** and debt-ridden were also found out.

Knight Anvina had been listening to the interrogation, but in the end, he became more and more angry, called all the family members who held positions in the town, reprimanded them severely, and then waved his hand, and found him guilty Those who commit serious crimes are all punished by death.

Some people's eyes flickered, but no one dared to interrupt the knight's anger.

Even Pawei, who participated in the battle together, did not dare to speak.

Grass Rat Town and a large area of ​​land around it are the territories of the Anvina knights, which are guaranteed by his force. His words are the laws and regulations on the territory. As long as they do not conflict with the laws of the noble council of the kingdom, they are theoretically valid. of.

As a result, when gang thugs and gang members were escorted to the execution platform, the emotions of the people gradually surged in the originally quiet central square.

Everyone's word-of-mouth accusations point to the crimes of some people who were identified, and they don't know where the crimes of these people were hidden before.

The Anvina knight did not wear a helmet, but walked onto the execution platform wearing a knight's steel armor.

He first nodded secretly at his soldier captain wearing a black cloth hood, then he came to the edge of the table and raised his hand.

Following the action of the lord, the scene immediately fell silent. The huge body of the Anvina knight is really a deterrent to the people. Even the most tired guy does not dare to bluff and disturb the lord at this time. .

"Residents of Weed Rat Town! Merchants who come and go to Weed Rat Town."

His loud, dull voice resounded.

"Just earlier today. I led my soldiers and wiped out a group of Yisi knife heads who were entrenched in the town."

Along with the words, the knight raised a hand, and then swung it down heavily.

"Hmph! These people do all kinds of crimes, and their crimes are heinous. Even the most greedy wolves and horse bandits on the grassland are not half as good as them."

The knight turned around and said to the gang members who were cowering under the wooden platform.

"It's like a flea parasitizing on the body of the town. It's tiny but feeds on blood. Hmph."

"But everyone, no matter how you were harassed by them in the past, today, their crimes will be judged. In other words, the trial has already been done before it just came."

The knight squinted his eyes and walked around in a circle, looking carefully at all the people around him, who roughly accounted for more than half of the townspeople: "The ending of these people must satisfy you."

Anvina Knight finally said heavily.

Seeing that the lord had finished speaking, the people dared to discuss in a low voice. It seems that the lord indeed wiped out the Yisi Knife Gang in the morning, but there is no doubt about it.

Therefore, the people who were curious and excited about this turned their attention to how the lord would punish and satisfy them.

Some people who were deeply hurt by this gang struggled to squeeze through the crowd, wanting to come up close and watch what happened next.

And some of the men they met next, immediately asked their women to take the younger children home, so they stopped watching.

The knight raised his chin to watch the reactions of the people, and then waved to his nephew who was waiting under the wooden platform. Pawei immediately walked up with a book in his arms.

Facing most of the townspeople, Mr. Pawei blushed with excitement. He was not so excited when he was fighting gang thugs before. Because he knew that what he fought bravely before had caught his uncle's eyes, at least in the comparison with the Kendal people, he had earned some face for his uncle.

His position in the town will be stabilized in the future, even if he does not have the direct blood of the knight, it is impossible to inherit the territory and knight skills. But in terms of the operation of things in the town, it will be a certainty to replace some old things in the family by himself.

Pawei came to a corner of the wooden high platform and flipped the record book in his hand to a suitable place.

Afterwards, he looked at his uncle, and the knight raised his head slightly to him, asking him to continue following the procedure he had agreed upon before he came. Pawei looked around again at the townspeople who raised their heads and looked at him. Facing countless gazes, he suppressed his excitement and shouted loudly.

His voice was very loud, and he tried his best to let the townspeople who were discussing all kinds of voices below hear: "Iss knife head is helping the casino, Gerry Randol. Illegally operating casinos, failing to pay large taxes, killing people, The crimes of beating to cause disability, **** and other crimes were identified by other personnel, and were sentenced to death by the judge of Lord Rusvis-Anvina! His death is decapitation, which is now executed immediately."

Accompanied by Mr. Pawei's words, two soldiers dragged up a casino steward who was found among the women on the second floor of the casino. This man was quite strong and had a big belly, but at this time his limbs were broken, and a piece of thick hemp rope was blocked in his mouth, unable to speak. He just kept shaking his head and body, and was left on the wooden board by the soldiers. In the middle of the commanding platform.

The soldier retreated to the side, and Furlong, who turned into an executioner, stepped forward, stretched out his legs and stepped firmly on the writhing guy, and then looked at the knight lord.

The Anvina knight snorted coldly and waved his hand downward.

Then Furlong held up the blood-red magic material two-handed axe, raised it above his head and then fell.

"oh-"

The people saw it clearly and let out a long exclamation. The neck of the guy most of them didn't know was cut off so lightly, and his head fell on the wooden platform. He didn't make any movement until he died.

The blood from the broken neck splashed some people around, and some people who were facing the broken neck were even drenched a little. Some people panicked, but some excitedly put their noses on the blood and sniffed it carefully.

The Anvina knight raised the corner of his mouth, stretched out his legs and kicked the head on the high platform, and kicked the guy's head to the bottom of the high platform.

With a bang, a small space was instantly vacated under the front of the high platform.

The knight lord laughed, waved his hand, and asked the soldiers to drag the headless corpse down.

After the corpse was dragged down, Pawei settled down and continued his work.

The loud and clear voice continued to read. This time, the people around fell silent, intending to hear who this person was, what he did and what punishment the lord sentenced him to.

"Jesse Tari, a casino lender of the Yisi Knife Gang. Participating in illegal casino operations, lending interest exceeding the kingdom's laws, assaulting others, seizing residents' property, **** and other crimes. Lord Anvina has sentenced to death! His death is decapitation, and it will be executed immediately!"

Another person was brought up by the soldiers. This person had not broken his limbs, so he was mixed with other gang thugs before. This guy who was originally quiet, heard Pawei read his death sentence in public. It got confused.

He was dazed and dragged by the soldiers to the high platform. Before the man could recover, the executioner kicked him in the crook of the leg and kicked him down on the **** beheading platform.

As the lord's gesture fell, Furlong's ax was also raised and lowered, and another head was separated from the body.

The knight kicked the fallen head to the bottom of the platform, causing the people below to exclaim.

At this time, a few poorly dressed men and women squeezed into the audience from the outside, and rushed forward to bite and beat the dead man's head, shouting their own pain incessantly.

It turned out that these were the people who were harmed by this lender.

They were all residents with some money at first, but after someone in the family became addicted to gambling, the money lender extended a large amount of loans with signed contracts, and the whole family lost their property.

Not only that, after losing their property, these people have to work hard to repay their debts under the surveillance and coercion of Yisi Knife Gang thugs, and sometimes the women in the family will be insulted and violated by this lender. Don't even think about escaping. Most of the people who tried to escape from Grass Rat Town were eventually chased by gang members, brought to them and other residents who owed money, and **** killed and dismembered.

Just to intimidate other people so they don't run away.

Now, with the destruction of the Yisi Knife Gang, the debts owed by these people will naturally be written off. Seeing the falling head of the enemy, these residents acted like crazy, tearing off the man's head with all their strength.

Immediately afterwards, another money lender was brought up, and the charges were roughly the same, and the punishment was naturally a capital crime.

Some down-and-out residents who had been bullied by these moneylenders rushed forward and vented their pain on this man's head. But then there was no third lender, and some people asked loudly where the other one had gone.

Pawei looked at his uncle, and after getting permission, he gave a reassuring answer to the people who were waiting for an answer: "The moneylender from another casino died in the attack on the IS Knife Gang casino. During the attack."

Getting the answer that the enemy was dead made this part of the people feel relieved. Although they couldn't see the man hacked to death with their own eyes, they were satisfied as long as he died.

Then, other industrial managers of the Yisi Knife Gang, who could be caught on the spot, were sent up.

Those who committed serious crimes were all decapitated under Pawei's loud announcement and Furlong's axe.

But for those who just joined the Yisi Knife Gang to make profits, in addition to financial penalties, they also had a different penalty.

Executioner Furlong put down his axe, and took out the long whip from the back of his waist.

The person being punished was captured by two soldiers, one on the left and the other on the right, and he knelt on the blood-stained platform facing the people. The blockage in the mouth was removed not to give the man a chance to speak, but wait a minute, the cry of pain had to be heard by all the people when the man was whipped.

With a wave of the knight's hand, Furlong stood in front of the tortured man, ripped off the man's shirt, then took two steps back, unfolded the whip, and flicked it back, and then went 'crack! ’ There was a crisp sound, and Furlong shook it.

All the people looked over and concentrated their attention.

Then it's officially started.

Snapped!

"ah-"

With a heavy whip, just one blow, a small piece of skin and flesh and blood was taken away by the whip in the middle of the prisoner's chest.

The rough and flexible whip has the power to kill people, it is not as harmless as it looks.

Five whips in front of him.

What was left was five wounds with five wounds.

Then Furlong came behind the prisoner, five lashes behind him, also **** wounds.

In fact, at the third whip on the chest, the prisoner couldn't cry out, and he passed out directly.

The Anvina knight shook his head, thinking that this person is not very good, his body and spirit are too weak, what future does the Yisi knife head gang have with such soft-legged shrimp?

It's just a little trouble.

For the knight, these gangs composed of locals are really limited in strength. Sure enough, the thieves from the Thieves Guild are the enemies who can really cause him trouble.

Next, guys with gang ties were all whipped, and the crackling of the whips resounded through the central square.

As for the thugs of the gang, they are violent, and the Anvina Knights have another punishment. Most of these people are the foundation of gangs, and most of them cannot commit serious crimes, but they must be punished.

Cavaliers punishment is broken hands.

The right hands of all gang thugs were chopped off by Furlong with an axe, and a priest of the Church of the God of Wealth who was waiting under the table, with a helpless face, quickly stopped the bleeding on the wounds of the thugs who were crying in pain after the severed hands.

In addition to having their hands severed, these people will also be escorted by the knights to a mine in the western province. They will serve several years in the mine, and those who come back alive will be considered as having received their punishment.

In fact, there are very few people who can come out of the remote mines alive. The thugs know a little about this, but they still hope for a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

They felt that after arriving at the mine, with the grouping of them, most of them would come out of the mine alive, so it was probably no problem.

The last ones to be punished were the thief apprentices of the thief Yisi.

Among the gang members who were captured and surrendered, these apprentice thieves did a lot of bad things.

The first one is Gerbo who killed the merchant accompanying Kendall.

"The leader of the IS Knife Gang, Tuke Gerbo. The crime of stealing, illegally breaking into residents' homes, robbery, rape, murder, ordering and killing soldiers in the town, etc., was identified by other personnel and arrested on the spot. He was arrested by Lu Siwei The lord of Si-Anwena sentenced to death! His death was decapitated, and he was handed over to the soldiers of Jo-Kill to execute on his behalf."

This time, Mr. Pawei's words were slightly different. At the same time, behind the two soldiers who escorted Gerbo, Keir also walked up with his chest upright.

The situation on the high platform was beyond Kiel's expectations. There were blood splashes all over the place, and it was quite slippery. If the high platform hadn't been made of rough wood, he would probably have fallen down.

Executioner Furlong was finally able to rest for a while, and Kiel recognized the executioner from the opponent's weapon.

He nodded slightly at Furlong, but Furlong remained silent. Also, after beheading many people, he probably wouldn't be in the mood to talk to others.

Gerbo's limbs were broken, and a thick hemp rope was stuffed in his mouth, so he couldn't speak. But those sinister eyes boldly glanced at Anvena Knight and Kiel and the others at this time~www.readwn.com~ The curse in the eyes of the defeated opponent is naturally not threatening, you can't beat me when you hold a weapon, at this time Let's see what happens.

The knight turned to Kiel and nodded, then held up a hand.

Kiel also followed the trend and drew out the long sword from his waist to hunt.

There were bursts of white light on the sword of the long sword, showing Kiel's excited mood at this time.

Seeing this scene, the people who were wondering why the executioner was not the executioner all raised their heads curiously, boldly looked at the long sword shining white in Kiel's hand, and made various surprise sounds from their mouths.

At the corner of the street not far away, several gazes were different.

A low figure clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and looked at the young warrior holding his long sword high, with tears running down his face.

A thin and lean figure was leaning against an unobtrusive corner, gritting its teeth and muttering something in a low voice, sounding as if it was lucky that it didn't happen to it.

An old, tall and strong man triumphantly bumped into the other two old men beside him, talking about having a good drink in the evening.

Then, the knight's palm fell, and the long sword held by Kiel's hands also fell.

The seemingly miraculously glowing long sword is actually extremely heavy, and the natural chopping power is also full. Although it is not as good as Furlong's two-handed axe, it is still extremely light to cut off the victim's neck.

Swish—

Blood splattered, a small amount of blood splashed half of Kiel's body, and the rolled head was still kicked off the high platform lightly by the knight, leaning against other heads piled up into a hill.

Under the high platform, the well-dressed businessman Ou Luobi jumped up excitedly on the spot, and then let out a heavy breath.

The experience of these two days was really hard for him to forget.
