Rise In Calradia

"Cut off his head!"

Sultan gave the order, the executioner did not hesitate, the sharp and heavy axe was raised high, gleaming dazzling light in the sun, and then drew a beautiful arc in the air, preparing to hit the neck of the person under him. In less than a second, the important leader of the rebel army was in a different place.

His head rolled a few times on the muddy ground of the oasis, and finally stopped at the feet of the Sudan. The face of that head still remained angry and unyielding, staring at the Sudan, as if to die with him. However, Sultan Hakim just rolled his eyes and kicked vigorously in his boots reinforced with chains and splints, allowing his head to fly out, attracting a group of loose hounds.

"This is the fate of the traitor! This is the only future for slaves who can't see their identity!" Sultan pointed to the head that was taken away by the hound, and solemnly shouted to the crowd onlookers. "I have cut off the heads of a hundred rebel leaders today, and I don't mind cutting off more in the future. Honest and pious people, you don't have to worry, because as the Sultan, I will protect your property and safety with the chiefs. But there are strangers, even if you resist your lord and sultan, we will cross the desert and the green source, find you, kill you, and sell your family as slaves. Your family will be beaten to the top for your despicable behavior. The mark of shame!” The Sudan finished speaking. The people nearby were silent. After watching the unilateral trial and beheading for an hour, no one dared to doubt what the Sudan said. Everyone was in awe of the Sudan and was full of fear.

Afterwards, Sultan Hakim turned around and faced the slaves who were begging for salvation, and gave the ruthless order: "Take out their left eye! Cut off their left fingers (little and ring fingers)! Sell ​​it to the market, if they dare to resist the owner, they will be skinned!"

As soon as Sudan’s voice fell, a group of slave traders immediately stepped forward to chat about which slave was worth how much. , There will be doctors who carry out simple treatments in the past to avoid serious damage to the value of the goods. As for those who weren’t seen, the executioner would roughly gouge out their eyeballs and chop off the opponent’s fingers. Sometimes they were too rough, and they might accidentally chop off half of their hands, or they might not chop them clean enough to let their fingers go. Hanging on the hand with the batch, the slave's pain is not as good as death. Once these poor guys are dealt with in this way, they won't sell for a good price. If they do not die from blood loss or infection, they will spend the rest of their lives on the farm as useless and cheap slaves.

At this point, the slave uprising that had tossed the entire Salander for several months finally ended under the suppression of the Sudan. Tens of thousands of slaves who were re-captured were gouged out, and all the leaders of the slave uprising were decapitated. Hanging on the city wall, those elders and tribal leaders who surrendered were also confiscated for punishment. Except for a few slave troops who mixed with mercenaries and became robbers, and an elite rebel army with unknown whereabouts, there were more than 50 others. All of the slave rebels were wiped out. Sultan Hakim crushed the domestic resistance in the most direct way, and the chiefs in the western and central parts of Salander did not dare to be dissent.

Of course, the attitude of the eastern chiefs still annoys the Sultan, but Hakim Sultan does not plan to do anything for the time being. He knew very well that after crossing the Sea of ​​Death in the East of the Bronze Desert, it was not an uninhabited place among the Western population. The relatives of the Salanders were still obsessed with endless cannibalism in the East, but he did not dare to relax. When there is a loophole in the defense, Aserai's eldest sons will swarm in and transfer all the contradictions to this land. At this moment, he couldn't touch the great officials who guarded the east.

However, the western soft persimmon and the annoying spirit named Byron, he no longer wanted to bear it. When Sharez’s battle report reached his hands a few days ago, he overturned the table, almost leading the army back to the army to annihilate the little boys of Rodok and Swadia. But in the end, reason defeated the impulse. He concealed the news, pursued the slave rebel army with all his strength, and finally found the main force hidden by the other side. After paying thousands of casualties, he completely destroyed the other side's army and shattered the uprising.

After that, the news of Sharez also spread among the army. Sultan naturally did not need to deny this time. Before the victory, the news could threaten his rule and put his army in doubt. But now, this news will only rekindle the fighting spirit of the fighters, and the sultan who followed them will make another contribution.

Although there is no need to worry about morale, it must not be underestimated strategically. There are at least 3,000 defenders in the city of Sharez. However, after the earthquake, the walls of the city were damaged. Byron’s army was at least twice that of the defenders, and the Sudan could not afford it. The risk of city collapse. He knew very well that even if von Byron could take Sharez down, he would not be able to occupy the city, but if he looted the city wantonly, the wealth that Sharez had accumulated would be exhausted. As the southern trading center, Caladea’s trading hub, Sharez’s wealth is only a lot more than that of Veluga. The gold, silver and jewellery stored in the treasure house were even seen by King Harous. Be frightened. If it were the hyena byron, the sultan would be sure that there would be no one left in the city.

So Sultan Hakim tried every means to sign the army along the way, and did not dare to delay a little. There are hundreds of scouts sent to investigate the enemy, but what is puzzling is that only one in ten of these people can return successfully. Without even thinking about it, those **** thieves and assassins definitely reached an agreement with Byron's bastard.

On the other side, coalition forces from the West did surround Sharez and even started to build siege equipment outside the city. The catapult threw the heads of the dead Salander soldiers into the city, making the city panic. In addition, they also collected a large number of the corpses of the dead Salander and displayed them in front of the city with the captives. Then Byron sent envoys to negotiate with the other side of the city, asking the other side to pay an outrageous ransom and "safety tribute", and Byron would promise to withdraw troops and leave. If not, they would insult the dead, kill the captives, and destroy the city.

Of course, the garrison officers in the city did panic for a while after seeing the head of General Ali, but they soon discovered that the other party did not actually have much confidence in occupying the city, and the Sudanese army estimated that it would be too. Arrived later. However, they have lost the source of information and they are not sure when Sudan will arrive, and whether the city can hold on to it. What's more, Feng Byron is notorious. This **** can do anything to achieve his goals. Who knows how he can attack the city. And if they don’t pay, the prisoners outside the city will definitely not end well. The bodies of the dead are insulted, which is also a great shame to them~www.readwn.com~ The most important thing is that the outside of the city is now surrounded. , External supplies have been cut off, Sharez has a lot of food, but it can’t support the large population and huge consumption. Moreover, as a major trading town, the merchants in the city will suffer losses every day after a delay. They are more willing to spend money than sticking to the end. Disaster.

As a result, the people, businessmen and the army in the city decided to compromise. They resisted the urge to kill the messenger. They pieced together and even forged tax ledgers to take out part of the gold in the vault that had not yet been reported to Sudan and rounded up the 200,000th. Gnar, this huge sum of money really shocked Byron. He really did not expect that the people and businessmen in this city could be so rich, it once gave him the feeling of facing the huge sum of money stored in Veruga . Earl Craggs was also taken aback. As Lord Suno, his wealth was of course far more than that, but it was the first time he faced so much gold and silver at once.

Because the money was paid in the middle, all the dinars that were about to collapse the carriage made the soldiers boil, and some even had plans to fight to the death. After all, the protection fee has this level. If you win this In this city, each of them can get rich.

But in the end, Byron still accepted the dinar, and fulfilled the agreement to withdraw the troops, even if he himself admits that such trustworthiness is rare.
