Section 9: Todd's Doom
The blacksmith father and son tied up the two armed servants, and the huntress Eve handed the two short swords to Bruce, which were two short swords one foot long, iron was very precious in this era, and it was obvious that Todd was very wealthy to be able to equip his servants with short swords.
"What now?" Eve looked at Bruce and asked.
Looking at the two armed servants in front of him who were still struggling, but they were held down by the blacksmith father and son, a smile appeared on the faces of the two Bruce.
"Do you know what you have committed?" Bruce asked them.
Yellow Fang and Scarface suddenly stopped struggling, attacking the nobles and even trying to kill their own lords, all of them were condemned to death according to the decrees of that kingdom, their faces showed a trace of fear, but Scarface sneered in his heart.
"If you want to kill me, hurry up!"
"Haha, you're quite manly, you know that you can't avoid dying before you say that! But I will now give you a chance to mend your ways, confess to your master Todd, and steal my property, and I will pardon you for your capital crimes. Bruce shook his dagger in front of the two of them and said to them.
"Don't think about it, if you want us to betray our master, you might as well kill us immediately." Scarface gave a look of disdain, and even raised his head to show his throat.
"Let me slaughter them!" Huntress Eve pulled her bow and aimed it at Scarface, the creaking of the bowstring that scared Yellow Fang into closing his eyes.
"Don't worry, I happen to know a punishment that is the most suitable to deal with criminals who attack the lord." Bruce reached out and pressed Eve's bow to pull on, and he continued to smile harmlessly as he addressed the two armed servants.
"Punishment?" At this time, even the blacksmith father and son looked at Bruce with curiosity, and Yellow Fang and Scarface listened intently.
"In the ancient empire, there was a punishment in which they would order a large wooden box that was airtight, and the prisoner would be handcuffed in the wooden box, exposing his head and hands, but the prisoner could only squat in the wooden box and could not move at all." Bruce said eloquently.
"Are you going to starve them?" Eve asked, puzzled.
"No, feed them food and water on time every day to make sure they are alive and well." Bruce touched his chin and explained for Eve.
"What kind of punishment is this?" The blacksmith pursed his lips, even the punishment of shackles was crueler than this.
"Don't worry, the interesting place is here, every day eating and drinking water, the prisoner will not help but excrete, day after day to excrete urine and feces, but these feces and urine can not be discharged from the wooden box, so maggots will grow, and the feces and urine will also corrode the flesh and skin of the prisoner, and the maggots will eat the prisoner's gradually festering body little by little, until the prisoner dies in extreme pain." After Bruce finished speaking, everyone was stunned, and the scene was quiet for a while only the sound of the wind.
"Uh~~." Suddenly, the blacksmith's son ran to the side and vomited, and even Eve, the huntress, turned out to be wrong.
"Evil, demon." Scarface's body trembled, and he seemed to see the skeleton of his body eaten by maggots from Bruce's description, and this extremely tragic and lowly death was really terrifying.
"That's right, you should have learned that when you messed with me." Bruce said to Scarface expressionlessly as he lowered his head to face Scarface.
"No, no, Lord Lord, don't do this to me, I am completely at your disposal, and I am willing to accuse Todd." Yellow Fang completely collapsed, he wept and sobbed, even Scarface lowered his head with a grim face, Todd was like an angel compared to Bruce.
"Eve take this iron man aside and deal with it!" Bruce nodded in satisfaction, straightened up, and pointed at Scarface with his finger to Eve.
"No, my lord, I, I, too, am willing to accuse Todd, and I am willing to give my life for you." Scarface also collapsed, and the last shred of courage was crushed on the question of life or death.
"Very well, let's go!" Bruce turned and pointed at the village of Glynton with his sword.
Huntress Eve and the blacksmiths followed the prisoner, but the huntress deliberately distanced herself from Bruce, walked up to the blacksmith, and whispered to him.
"How do I think we've unleashed a terrible beast."
"Huh?" The blacksmith was a little confused by Eve's words, and did not understand who she was referring to by the beast.
The people of the village saw a strange scene, their new lord Bruce walked in front, Eve and the blacksmith walked behind with two armed servants, and Bruce walked to the well in the center of the village, where the people of the village often gathered.
"Come here, all the villagers of Greenton, me, your lord, Bruce. Locke wants to expose you the deeds of a criminal who is hiding among us. Bruce shouted loudly, and the villagers quickly gathered when they heard his words, and the lord's convocation usually had something important to do.
"Isn't this a servant of the Todd family?"
"What's going on?"
"Why are they tied up?"
The villagers looked suspiciously at the two servants kneeling beside Bruce, who knew both men and had been bullying the villagers with Todd.
Bruce loudly announces the two of them attacking him, but instead of directly accusing Todd of stealing his property, he directly announces that Todd instructed the two servants to attempt to kill him.
"Kill the nobles?"
"Kill your own lord?"
The villagers were shocked when they heard this, the crime of killing the nobles was very serious, and the lord who killed himself followed the following crimes, even if he escaped from the empire, he would be caught and killed by other nobles.
"Oops." Todd's men were among the villagers, and when he heard Bruce's accusations and saw the two dejected servants, he immediately felt that the situation was not good, so he quickly withdrew from the crowd and ran in the direction of Todd's house.
"Villagers, Todd is a criminal who tried to kill a nobleman, a criminal who tried to murder his own lord, now with me, Bruce. In Locke's name, I command you to arrest Todd and bring him before me. Bruce loudly announced to the villagers.
However, when his voice fell, there was silence, and the villagers looked at each other, Todd had been ruling the village with high pressure, and the villagers were afraid of him, and now they were subconsciously at a loss even if it was the lord's order.
"Catch Todd." Huntress Eve shouted, her shrill voice breaking the silence and causing the villagers to suddenly realize that the time for change had arrived.
"Catch Todd."
"Catch Todd."
"Catch Todd."
