Chapter 39: Be in awe of me
The Iron Moon Whip Kill Order is a punishment method to deal with rebellions, mutinies, and large-scale escapes. In a group of 5 people, those who draw the Iron Moon will be killed by the rest of the punished people. Initially used only in Twilight City, it spread throughout the kingdom and became the most loyal accomplice of the Grim Reaper. - "The Coming of My Lord: Iron Moon Smash Order"
...
Among the deserters, a bald man who had drawn the iron moon fell to his knees and cried to his former comrades: "Owen... You know... I have two other children at home, they are only 6 years old, and they are still waiting for their dad to come home..."
Owen bit his lower lip and said in a trembling voice, "Seke, I know... But I'm sorry, I want to live..."
"Bang!" Under the pressure of the crossbowman, Owen swung his first stick, which directly shattered Seke's cheekbone, and half of his face collapsed.
Man is a social animal, and if one person takes the lead, there will be a second person to follow suit.
Soon, all those holding the Bronze Moon moved.
"Bang! Boom! Boom! The sound of whipping came and went, mixed with the screams.
Some people are more ruthless, and in order to survive, they mercilessly beat those holding the iron moon, and smashed them directly into the head with a stick, beating them to death.
There are also people who face their old comrades-in-arms and recall the days when they were on duty together and asked for warmth, but they really couldn't get down their hands, crying while fighting, crying and saying sorry, and a stick only felt like it was pumping on themselves.
In fact, for those who hold the Iron Moon, they are lucky to meet the first type of people, because these people have heavy hands, and they lose consciousness after a few sticks, and they die a happy death.
And the second type of soft-handed, wielding a stick has no strength, and will not be able to kill people for a while and a half, which is equivalent to cutting meat with a blunt knife, that is, torturing others and themselves.
At 4 minutes and 37 seconds, the last deserter holding the Iron Moon was killed and fell in a pool of blood.
The deceased is forever dead, which is considered a relief.
The living will be tortured worse than death, banished to death rows, where they will sleep with their excrement and eat rotten rice that pigs don't eat.
The next time there is a war, they will be thrown into the front line to serve as meat shields for the regular army. Unless there is really some miracle in the war, and the guilt is meritorious, there will never be a light of day.
And for some deserters, they won't even survive the day of becoming the vanguard of death row inmates, such as Owen who killed Seck.
He had nightmares every day and night in the death row camp, constantly recalling the scene when he killed Seke.
He dreamed that his hands were covered with blood, not only the blood of Seke, but also the blood of Seke's two children - he killed their father himself, and also killed the two little ones who had no ability to live on their own in disguise.
Countless times he couldn't sleep at night, countless times he woke up in a cold sweat, and finally, in unspeakable pain, he hit the wall and ended his life, blood staining the filthy thatch and prison clothes.
Back to the moment, after the two rewards and punishments, the bodies of Li Minkai and the rest of the reincarnators were carried up.
Li Minkai was tied to the torture pillar, laughing and crying, obviously driven crazy by Chino.
Many people don't know who this is, whispering and pointing at each other.
"This person's name is Li Minkai, and he bought the horse bandits to attack the town of Shilin, and he is the culprit of all this. Moreover, he also has an identity - "Chino looked down on everyone, and the next four words roared out like a raging wave, "Visitors from outside the sky!" ”
Suddenly, the terrifying sound spread rapidly, and the guests present directly blew up the pot, and the guards were also stupid, and even Paladin, who was closest to Chino, stared at him in astonishment.
One soldier was so frightened that he couldn't help but shout: "My lord! You say he was the visitor who killed the Sun King during the War of Eclipse 2,700 years ago? I can't believe it! ”
"Not the one who killed the Sun King 2,700 years ago, but the same kind of people." Chino looked out at the western canopy, where the waning sun was trying to leave its last afterglow, black spreading like ink dripping into water, swallowing up the last remaining rays.
The sun slowly sinks into the horizon, crows chirp, and the canopy darkens, announcing that night is coming.
Time passed little by little, every soldier waited with bated breath, and only the sound of Li Minkai crying and laughing madly was in the square.
"Now, I'm going to prove what I said." Chino took the saber from a soldier and stabbed him in the heart.
"Poof!"
Li Minkai's mouth was wide open in pain, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and he almost jumped out of his sockets.
As the tense body loosened and the heart stopped beating, Li Minkai... Disintegrated!
Not only the dead Li Minkai, but also the corpses of all the reincarnators, starting from the feet, the body disintegrated into countless fine spots of light, like sleeping fireflies being awakened and pounced into the endless night sky, they soared upward, flashing with blazing brilliance, blending into the stars that gradually appeared in the sky, magnificent and mysterious, full of sparks burning.
When the last rays of starfire disappeared into the dark sky, the bodies of all the reincarnators disappeared without any trace, as if they had never appeared in this world.
Paladin stared blankly at the night sky, as if there was a residual ethereal glow in his eyes, and unconsciously knelt on his knees, muttering the passage from the history books: "They don't know where they came from, they don't know where they are going, and the light is invisible, like a spark burned out..."
Everyone looked at the stage in distraction, Chino stood proudly under the burning torch, the face that was not as delicate as that of mortals, the white skin was even more than the cold winter snow, and the amber eyes kept blooming, as if intertwined with thousands of arcs of fire, overlooking the mortal world in the cold and bloody wind.
The blood began to roll and surge in their bodies, and they all fell to the ground, and the waves of people who bowed down spread outward around Chino, like black clouds under the canopy, and their eyes burned with feverish flames, surrendering to the administrator of Twilight City, to the annihilators of the visitors.
This scene is like fearing the gods.
Yesterday, Chino thought about whether to disclose Li Minkai's true identity for a night.
Public or not, there are benefits to each.
Not making it public can make the reincarnation invasion more stable and controllable, and it will not involve the local forces of this world too much.
If it is made public, the news of the resurgence of the extraterrestrial visitor will spread far and wide, and it will attract the attention of the high-level of the kingdom and even the whole world, and he will also be swept into the changing forces of this world.
There are pros and cons to this.
The disadvantage is that once you are involved in the center of public opinion, you will inevitably face many questions in the future, such as "Who are you?" "Why do you recognize visitors from the sky? "Why do visitors from outside the world target you?" "Where did you get all that money? "Where does the power in you come from?" "If you die, will the visitors disappear too?" ”
Once these problems are not handled well, they are very likely to cause big trouble.
Of course, the benefits are also obvious.
As long as it is handled well, the intricate forces of this world will become his "first force", and he can use the military power of this world for his own use.
And...
Use certain methods to make the people of this world share the same hatred and fight against the invasion of reincarnation.
Chino has never been a conservative, and in the face of stable mediocrity and high risk and high reward, he chooses the latter.
Now, the news of the reappearance of visitors from outside the world has been released, and it has been transmitted to various families through light and dark channels, to the royal family of Doguland, to the Far Eastern Dynasty, and to all corners of the world, like a bird.
Under the starlit sky, the evening breeze blew with the smell of blood, and Chino condescendingly looked down on the black-pressed crowd, his amber pupils moving sideways, looking at the realm of triple shackles.
Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled like never before.
[Honor: 424]
[Fear: 4043]
In addition to the respect of a slight increase and the fear of a sharp rise, the third value has finally improved after a long silence.
[Awe: 528]
