According to information gathered by Jamo, all of the assassins were clergy members of the worship of the god Ra. Originally, the priests of the god Ra had a priestly army, but there were not many of them in the areas of Epsmilton and Napatis, and with the occupation of these two areas by Palci, in order to avoid attracting the attention of the army, most of the priest army had dispersed and retreated to the territory of Yaqui, leaving only a small group of people hiding in the temple and lurking as clergy. Originally, these personnel were very self-contained, and did not attract the attention of the Palci army and the Dils rebel army. But lately, it seems that I have been summoned by some order, and I have begun to make frequent sorties.

Yamo's job was very good, and he quietly and gradually arranged the personnel of the entire operation group in his hands before he came to report. Li Tianhao immediately issued an urgent secret order: order the top military commanders of each garrison to take charge of this matter, not to let anyone else know the content of the plan, and all regions to carry out operations at the same time, so that no one can slip through the net.

Ten days later, in the middle of the night, almost all of the temples of Ra in Epsmilton and Napatis were suddenly attacked by the army, and a large number of clergy were arrested, and then they were immediately escorted to the largest temple of Ra in the northwest of Epsmiton.

The move immediately caused an uproar throughout the new territory. The local people who believed in the god Ra were indignant and demanded a clear explanation from the local officials. What they were given was a unified narrative: the arrest of a large number of clergy on suspicion of assassination had now been brought to the Temple of Ra, outside Epsommiton, where they would be tried in public on the fifteenth day, if there was any grievance. You can go directly to the public trial venue.

As soon as these words came out, a large number of people began the long journey without hesitation. Vows to deliver God's servants from the rulers. Of course, more people could not accomplish such a feat, so the daily headache of the local chief executive was how to appease these disgruntled people. The military governor was wary of possible civil unrest.

In fact, since the incident, Li Tianhao has also been under pressure from all sides, especially the exhortations of those senior officials and generals who were originally subordinate to the Yaqi army, especially Bodeka and Brooks. The two of them are both literate and martial, but this time their caliber is surprisingly unanimous -- if the clergy who serve the god Ra are really judged, then it will inevitably arouse strong opposition from the people in the ruling area, and if it turns into a civil uprising, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Tianhao didn't mean to compromise on this, he just said coldly: "If the clergy commit a crime that even ordinary people understand, then they should be severely punished by the law." Now that we have enough evidence. Then it is time to prove that even God cannot break the law, and if the people do not understand this truth, then take this opportunity to make them come to their senses. God is the refuge of the good of the heart, not the refuge of the wicked! ”

was said by Li Tianhao, and Bodeka and Brooks could no longer refute it. After that, Wei Song, who was in charge of the construction work in the rear, also made a special trip back. However, after learning about Li Tianhao's thoughts, he did not raise any objections, especially when Li Tianhao asked him why he appointed Tia as the second secretary, and he immediately left the city of Epsommilton in a hurry on the grounds that he was busy with official business.

As more and more people gathered outside Epsommiton, the public trial was held as scheduled. In order to prevent accidents. Li Tianhao mobilized 20,000 Nubian mercenaries and 10,000 Dilcs troops to tightly surround the entire venue. In contrast, more than 100,000 people came to attend the public trial. The chief priest of the Epsommilton area, Long Komidas, was present to defend all the defendants.

Roncomidas, an old man in his mid-hundreds, cried out that the clergy, who had devoted themselves to the service of Ra, were being unjustly judged for crimes they had not committed, and counted the devotion of the clergy. During the whole process, the applause of the people in the audience rose higher and higher.

But when Jamo publicly named them. The positions he held in the priestly army, the connections between them, and the specific time and method of committing the crime. After the incident, the method of covering each other's retreat and the large number of confessions after the arrest began to become quiet. The voices of the people chattering like low thunder could not be dispersed for a long time.

After a stalemate for a long time, Roncommidas could only argue that all of this was forged evidence. The confessions were all made under torture, and Yamo's actions were a serious desecration of the majesty of the god Ra, and after his inflammatory words, the people in the hall began to boil again, and the voices of threats and curses were endless, and even began to attack the defense network formed by the army.

"Down with the invaders! Maintain the authority of the god Ra! I don't know who shouted such a sentence, and soon a hundred mouths shouted in unison.

Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, Li Tianhao suddenly stood up and shouted: "Everyone is quiet!" ”

This sound was like a thunderclap in mid-air, so that everyone present heard it, and everyone was frightened by this interruption, and the room immediately fell silent.

Seeing that the situation had eased somewhat, Li Tianhao continued to say aloud: "I, like you, am full of reverence for the god of pull!" But now the fact is that many people have been murdered! We have verified that these clergy are responsible, and Lord Koronkomidas insists that these people are innocent, so I would like to ask Lord Longkomidas, can you guarantee that these people are innocent in the name of the god Ra? ”

Having said this, there was no way back for Roncomidas, and he immediately said in a loud voice: "I now declare these people innocent in the name of the god Ra!" ”

"Good! I also believe that Ra God is fair. Then let's let the gods give us a fair verdict! If God Ra proves that these people are innocent, then I have falsely accused these innocent people! Then I, Li Tianhao, will die in front of the temple of the god of La to apologize! But if the god Ra proves that these people are guilty, then it is Lord Longkomidas that you lied before the god Ra! Then please die in front of the god Ra and apologize to the god Ra! ”

"This" Longcomedas looked around, he knew that if he didn't dare to respond, it would be equivalent to proving that he had committed perjury, but Li Tianhao dared to say this, he must have already been sure of victory, how should he deal with it? When he saw Li Tianhao's aggressive eyes, the whole person suddenly became excited, and then nodded unconsciously.

Li Tianhao smiled slightly, turned to the people and said, "We will now ask the gods to carry out the divine judgment." Now we baptize these people with fire, and if they are unscathed by the baptism of fire, then it is God Ra who has given them refuge and proved that they are sinless; If they are burned to a charcoal corpse, then it is the god Ra himself who has given the murderer the punishment he deserves! ”

Roncommidas suddenly collapsed after hearing this, this is a bet that will not be lost! But Li Tianhao didn't pay attention to his gaffe at all, and with a wave of his hand, the soldiers immediately strode forward and poured the tung oil that had been prepared all over the bodies of these people, and in the frightened cries of these people, the flames burned.

The whole hall resounded with a terrifying scream, and the body covered in fire rolled on the ground, wailing. Gradually, the screams died down, and the clergy were burned to char without exception.

The people present were all frightened and unable to move, and all the clergy who were holy in their minds were sentenced to death by the god Ra.

Li Tianhao shouted loudly: "Everyone! Lord Ronkomidas openly testified before the god Ra and shielded those criminals! Now ask him to die and apologize to the god Ra! ”

At this time, Longkomidas was already paralyzed in fright, and he finally understood that the person standing in front of him was a person who really ignored the gods, and it was useless to use the name of God in front of him, and now he was using the name of God to drive himself to a dead end. Not only that, but he also tried to make the people understand that he was the one who was beyond the gods. It's a pity that Roncomidas's mouth can't say a complete sentence at this moment.

Li Tianhao slowly walked in front of Long Kemidas and said coldly: "Since Lord Long Ke Midas can't make up his mind for a long time, then it's up to me to help you." ”

Before Long Komidas could say anything, Li Tianhao's sword had already slashed his head into the air. (To be continued......)
