Rise of the Lord of Mount and Blade

As soon as I heard that Richard was going to execute the heretic publicly, the crowd of onlookers exploded. They cheered loudly and were happy for the justice that has finally arrived. Many of them Relatives or friends who knew all died in the hands of the group of heretic horse bandits. Compared with the same Touraine robbers, the heretic was more brutal, because they would kill all the prey they were looking at, while some Touraines The robbers will let go of their prey and let them leave alive.

In addition to the opposition between the upper sect religion, the townspeople of Laertai have a deeper hatred of these heretic horse bandits.

However, on this cheering street, where Richard did not notice, a few people suddenly turned gloomy after hearing Simon’s announcement, and then squeezed the crowd and headed for the city. Ran in the direction outside.

……

When I saw Pearson, the mayor of Laertai again, this man with a mustache was obviously more respectful than last time. He was full He bowed and saluted Richard with a smile on his face, but occasionally glanced at the soldiers who came with Richard. After seeing the equipment of those soldiers, the surprised look in Pearson’s eyes flashed past, as if he had never appeared before.

Because he was bowing his head, Richard did not notice his movements. Pearson straightened up and turned his body slightly to the side, making a gesture of inviting Richard to enter the town hall, and said: “My lord, there is Let’s wait till I say anything.”

“Yeah.” Richard nodded and followed his movements into the town hall. After a few steps, he stopped and instructed Simon and Phyllis. “Leave a few people to guard the captives and carriage. Others can move around freely, but they must come back before the execution in the afternoon.” After finishing, he went straight into the town hall.

In the same position before sitting again, there is a bust portrait of his cheap relative Viscount Noel hanging on the wall. Richard is in a much better mental state this time, so he sits down , Said directly to Pearson straight to the point.

“The two carts of linen and animal skins I brought will be handed over later, and sold to those workshops in the town at the market price. Those are all that I took back from heretic. Yes.”

“Understood, my lord.” Pearson nodded, taking this to heart, and then asked: “My lord, I just heard that you are going to put those seven heretic on the town square. Is there anything I need to prepare for the public trial execution?”

“Of course, you go find a few carpenters and build seven crosses that can tie them to them as soon as possible. The sooner the better.” Richard finished , Remembered something, and added: “Also, during the eradication of banditry, I rescued many people from their lair. There may also be residents of Laertai, but they are in very bad condition, so I am going to let They will stay in Luofei Village for a while, and let them go home on their own when they recover.”

“Okay, sir.”

Pearson agreed to come down and got up and walked out. This room went to explain what Richard had ordered. Richard did not continue to sit. He got up and walked to the portrait of Viscount Noel. He looked at the appearance of this cheap relative before his death with his back on his back. However, you should never draw attention to the paintings of this era. The painting technique was hopeful, he just looked at it for a while and lost interest, then turned and walked out of the room.

Laltai’s town hall is nominally the town’s Office Public Area Point, but it should actually be said to be Pearson’s home, because his family lives in the backyard of the town hall, Richard discovered Compared with the simple and crude in front, the furnishings in his backyard are obviously more luxurious.

It is luxurious, but it is only much better than the ordinary commoner’s family. It can be seen that Laertai’s poverty is really poor, and even the dignified mayor’s home is not much better.

……

Not long after lunch, the public trial scheduled to begin in the afternoon began as scheduled.

On the high platform that has been used for executions in the town square, Richard stands with his back. Behind him, seven Bailey horse bandits are tied up by the big five flowers and kneel on the cold wooden platform. They already understand What is the fate that I will encounter next, each face is as gray as death, and my mouth is constantly muttering something in a low voice. Others can’t understand the Berry language they are speaking, and Richard has no intention to listen to their last words. So no one knows what they are talking about.

Under the high platform, the townspeople of Laertai gathered here. They almost occupied the not-so-wide square. Looking around, the vast crowd was full of sensational heads. .

On the high platform, behind the captives, seven crosses made temporarily by carpenters were laid flat on the ground. Next to each cross stood a soldier with a hammer and nail in his hand. The townspeople curiously looked at the things in their hands and the seven crosses, not knowing what they wanted to do.

At Richard’s sign, Mayor Pearson stepped forward, first pressed his hands forward to calm the crowd, and then lightly coughed, using a special loudspeaker to say: “Everyone Laertai townspeople, today is destined to be a special day worth remembering.”

“A few days ago, our new lord: Lord Richard Stuart, the heroic fearless belt The soldiers holding him have completely put down the two bandits that have been plagued us in this area. Today, he brought seven of the Berry heretic captured alive to receive a just trial!”

“Laltai Town has been suffering from banditry for a long time. I believe that some of your relatives and friends died at the hands of the robbers. Each of them is the most sinister. Therefore, in today’s trial, they must commit crimes for themselves. Pay the price for their crimes!”

“Put them to death! Put them to death!”

Pearson tone barely fell, and the crowd underneath suddenly burst out roars like mountains and seas, they raised their arms high. , Yelled loudly, the sound wave was higher than one round, making the seven kneeling horse bandits shiver coldly unconsciously.

Looking at them with disdain, Pearson took a step back and asked Richard to come forward to speak. When Richard was about to speak, the crowd stopped yelling spontaneously. They quieted down and stared at the young viscount.

Richard held their gaze without giving a long speech. He was expressionless and said slowly: “In the name of Viscount Blatai, I declare that the seven Berry people behind me have offended They are to be sentenced to death in public in order to comply with the laws of the kingdom.”

“Capital punishment!”

When the crowd heard this word, they boiled again. They wanted to squeeze forward and watch the so-called close-up What kind of capital punishment was like, but saw a group of soldiers hurried up to the high platform, dragged the seven horse bandits to the cross and tied them to the cross to make sure they could not break free, and then took the hammer and iron. The nailed soldiers directly nailed the iron nails into the limbs of the horse bandits. As the nails entered the body, blood was splashed and the screams were endless, and the scene was bloody and cruel.

Seven horse bandits were nailed to the cross, and the seven crosses were dragged to stand up. Looking at the seven horse bandits drenched with blood, the crowd cheered again…
