Chapter 144 Rewards and punishments are clear
As Britney, she naturally doesn't want to see Cross point the finger at Sunset City, and although she also hates Sander, she doesn't want the friendly relationship between Copperhill and Sunset City to be shattered.
After all, Sander represents Sunset City, and once the people of Copperhill Town develop a hatred for Sander, then this hatred is likely to be passed on to Sunset City, which is not what Britney wants to see.
Moreover, the puppet lord of Sander has to continue, this is all the order of the Endless Reincarnation Organization, not only Britney, but even Cresia has no ability to replace the lord of Sunset City.
In the face of Britney's questioning, the people of Copperhill Town were enraged again, and they also found out that there was actually a person from Sunset City in the crowd, and those grumpy lords even wanted to rush up and beat Britney.
Thankfully, they didn't, or they might have been hurt as a result.
The collar clashed with Britney, which was not what Cross wanted to see, and he immediately replied to Britney, "Britney, the evidence you want is here." Tell her, traitors of Coppermountain. ”
"We say, we all say, I just hope that Lord Lord, you don't kill us......" Several blacksmiths seized the opportunity to beg for mercy.
However, their pleas for mercy caused discontent among the people.
"Lord Lord, these traitors must die!"
"Yes!
......
Cross looked at the blacksmiths, "Did you hear that? Are you qualified to negotiate terms with me now?"
These cold words instantly shattered the hopes of the blacksmiths.
"But...... I can reduce the severity of the punishment based on your confessions and attitudes. ”
As soon as Cross's words fell, the blacksmith scrambled to say Sander's plan.
Britney clenched her fists at the blacksmiths' words, angry and helpless, and she was extremely disappointed in Shande, "I'm very sorry, Lord Cross. ”
"It's not your fault, Britney. ”
"I'll go back and report to Cressia now, and she'll be sure to persuade Sander. ”
"You can't go back to Sunset City, Sunset City's first line of defense needs you.
Now, Seajarda's army must have captured Wolfheart, and there's a good chance they'll march on us. If you're not there, I'm afraid our men won't be able to hold out for long.
Besides, I'll send someone to contact Cresia. ”
"Yes...... Lord Cross. "Britney also knows the importance of the first line of defense, and she can only stay here for the sake of the big picture.
"And you, you can't be angry with Britney, you can't be angry with Sunset City, only Shander really wants to harm us, and it has nothing to do with anyone else in Sunset City. ”
"Yes, my lord. ”
At this point, Cross's two-tiered purpose has been achieved.
The first is to make all the people aware of the dangers of traitors, and to make them learn from them and remain faithful.
The second is to tell everyone that the lord of Sunset City, Sander, is an enemy, which is also to pave the way for taking Sunset City in the future.
Of course, in addition to this, Cross intends to continue to take advantage of this incident.
"After last night's incident, I found that our Tongshan Town is really vulnerable, and we are almost completely finished.
This morning, I thought a lot, and the presence of traitors among us is indeed the main reason for this, however, we ourselves have a lot to be desired.
Look at Gawain, he used his body to block the enemy yesterday, in exchange for you, can you do it?
So, we have one of the biggest problems, and the one that needs to be provided the most urgently, is the lack of combat effectiveness.
We can rely on trickery when we encounter a weak enemy, and when we encounter a strong enemy, we may face disaster, which is not what I want to see, and I believe, it is not what you want to see.
In order to improve the overall viability of Tongshan Town, we must improve everyone's physical fitness.
I've decided that starting tomorrow, everyone in Copper Mountain Town must assemble at the barracks' training ground at 7 a.m., and then have a one-hour basic training, except for Britney, Randall, and Charlie!"
"Yes, the lord is right. ”
"That's right, it's because we're too weak that we'll be bullied by others!"
"For the sake of Copper Mountain Town, for the sake of Lord Cross, I want to become stronger!"
This incident can be regarded as giving these people a certain sense of crisis, and this sense of crisis also makes them realize that change is the only way out.
If it weren't for this incident, Cross wouldn't have thought that these lords would have such a high level of enthusiasm for basic training every morning.
This basic training was originally given to Watson and Reiner, but now, Klos directly set the time and training time, which can be regarded as saving Watson and Reiner some things.
In this way, Cross's third-tier purpose was also achieved. He can be sure that the future Tongshan Town will be strong.
However, Cross will not stop there, he will use this incident to the end.
"Everyone, I am glad that you can have such enthusiasm, it is my honor as your lord.
In order to become a qualified lord, I have been working hard, and I am constantly exploring some rules and regulations, and I don't want to copy the system of the empire.
However, one thing is for sure.
Here, the rewards and punishments are clear!
These betrayed blacksmiths will be executed, betrayal is absolutely not allowed to happen, and in the future, if there is betrayal, they will all be executed. ”
As soon as the words were finished, the blacksmiths' pleas for mercy and the applause of the crowd followed.
Cross had no choice but to signal everyone to be quiet again, but he hadn't finished his words yet, "In addition to these traitors, there were some warriors yesterday, I want to commend these warriors, from today onwards, Nia and Roman will become knights, and Gawain will become barons."
You may have to ask why Gawain could skip the knightly promotion to barony, and I can tell you the answer now.
Gawain is a very selfish person, and he is also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but just last night, he was here to stop these six traitors.
Gawain's combat ability is very average, he can only use his life to delay time, and in the end, he did, but he also almost died from excessive bleeding.
Although he did not defeat the enemy, he did overcome himself.
The exceptional promotion of him to baron was a tribute and encouragement to him for this spirit.
Now, I can't give Gawain the territory, but in the future, the first territory we conquer will be Baron Gawain's.
Finally, I would like to say that every citizen of Cross Klein has a chance to earn a knighthood.
Regardless of gender, regardless of race, regardless of occupation, regardless of the past. ”
