Chapter Eighty-Five: Robbing the Law Field
Rafa and his party entered the city without any problems, perhaps because they had knightly insignia pinned to them, and Ola's laws could not prevent any knights from taking public action, so they entered the city without even investigating, although they also showed their knightly swords openly.
Contrary to what I imagined, there was no bloodshed killing in Kosol City, and the wide streets twice the size of Icefield City were sparsely populated, and people seemed to be gathering in a certain direction except for those who had been driven out of the city.
Keeping the horses in a slightly larger inn, Rafa handed the innkeeper a gold coin, told him to take good care of their horses, and pointed to the sparse pedestrians outside the window and asked, "Where are those people going?"
The bearded boss bit the gold coin with his teeth, and after making sure that it was correct, he immediately smiled, "Hehehe, Lord Knight, go and take a look, the witch is being executed in the main square, but it's wonderful! β
"Witch?" Rafa frowned slightly, and threw two more gold coins at the boss, "Leave us ten rooms." β
"Hey, obey the order, you go slowly. The boss's eyes widened, and he hurriedly grabbed the gold coins in the air.
With a wave of his hand, the anxious Rafa led the knights quickly towards the place where the pedestrians gathered.
After walking for a while, the pedestrians gradually became denser, and before they even approached the square, they could already hear the firelight, the piercing screams, and the frenzied cries.
The knights gathered around Rafa and forced a way forward in the middle of the crowd, a move that almost drew the anger of the passers-by, but they all shut their mouths in a huff when they saw the knight's badge on their chests.
Cutting through the crowd, the knights' eyes were divided, and the scene in front of them was even more tragic than the scene in the dungeon of the natives of Icefield City.
Hundreds of women were chained to the ground like cows and horses, all huddled together as best they could, crying out, and all sorts of tragedies were unfolding on the slightly raised platform beside them.
Some of the women were being imprinted by the executioners with a red-hot iron, though there was no place on her body that was not charred, and beside her were three fires heaped up, and the women in the fires were struggling and howling frantically, and the terrible cries were like the cries of the demons of hell, and beneath the high platform was a row of wooden gallows, and when Rafa and the others had just made their way out of the crowd, the knights were picking out a few of the women huddled on the ground at random and sending them to the gallows.
The chosen women were so frightened that their hands and feet were paralyzed and they had no strength left, and they were almost put on the gallows by the knights.
The filthy noose was completely soaked in blood, and the trail of dragging corpses on the ground proved that there was no telling how much evil had happened here.
There are more than a hundred women here, and it is obvious that all of them cannot be witches, but judging from the situation that the knights randomly select women to kill, they do not intend to use the broken magic stone to do a detailed screening, because in this huge execution ground, there is not even a single priest; it stands to reason that the church will definitely send someone to be present when the witch is executed, but it should be the grandstand where the priest sits, and there are only two people sitting in the three chairs, a man and a woman, looking at their luxuriously dressed appearance, it is likely that they are the city lord and the city lord's wife of Kosol City, and the people of the church are not there, it is very likely that they have long been tired of seeing it and are too lazy to watchγ
"Hehehe, these bitches, I killed them all, see how they still appear on your bed for no apparent reason?"
The obese woman smeared with a thick layer of white lead powder showed her yellow teeth, and the sneering look could simply scare away the evil spirits.
"Jiani, I said it was a misunderstanding...... "The middle-aged man next to the woman showed a flattering smile and carefully held the woman's hand.
"York," Jiani grasped his palm, her bloody nails digging into her skin slightly, a smile on her face, but her voice was very cold, "Don't forget, everything in Kosol belongs to our Hall family, you just stole the glory of our family, if it weren't for those old guys who said they needed an agent, I would have killed you." β
York was in pain and wanted to withdraw his hand, but he didn't dare to make too much movement, "Jiani Jiani, I understand, I understand, I won't dare again!"
"Hmph!" Jiani let go of her hand, there were already five bloody holes in York's hands, she showed her yellow teeth again, her fat cheeks outlined a smile, and her cloudy eyes showed a hint of fanaticism, "But don't say it, these little girls are really handsome, and they sound good, I heard enough last night." β
As she spoke, she took out a clean square towel and began to wipe the blood from her nails.
As for the movements of the two people on the stage, Rafa, who has excellent eyesight, can naturally see it clearly, and their conversation can be heard clearly, it seems that if you want to save these women, it is the key to clean up the fat woman, and as for that man, maybe it will be of some use in the future.
He glanced at the crowd around him and found that they were all a little numb, and he could confirm that most of these women were innocent, but they all watched silently, without movement or sound.
Maybe it was the corpses of the men scattered here and there that made them a lesson from the past, so they didn't dare to come forward.
"Your Highness!"
Audel didn't remember calling Rafa a few times, but he stared into the distance, as if he didn't see the women about to be hanged, and she had no choice but to squeeze his hand.
"Looks like this is the end of our trip to Kosol. Rafa squeezed her hand.
"What?" asked Audair.
"Take a few people back and get the horses ready, and by the way, get the two gold coins back, and wait for us there. He turned to Audrey.
"I'm going to accompany ...... Stay here. "Audair didn't want to leave Rafa.
"It's too late, go!" Rafa squeezed her hand again, as an encouragement to her.
β...... Hmmm!" Seeing that the women had been put on a leash, Audair couldn't be more stubborn, and quickly left with the four knights through the crowd.
"Kyle, act on your chances. β
"Hmm. β
Rafa snapped his fingers, and the knights silently loaded their bullets.
In fact, he was not completely sure that he could save these people, and he also knew that it might be a little difficult for his more than twenty people to fight against the more than a hundred knights present around him.
However, it was a little unbearable for him to watch these innocent women being brutally killed, and it was only today that he had witnessed how cruel it was to execute witches, which strengthened his determination to occupy the city of Kosol.
"Stop!"
Rafa threw off his cloak and walked towards the middle of the field, his voice so powerful that the executioner, who was putting the rope on the woman, stopped in shock.
"Stop!"
When the guards saw that someone wanted to stop the execution, they immediately pounced and surrounded him in the middle with spears.
"I am the lord of Icefield City, Rafa Hevien," although he was eager to disassociate himself from the royal family, but at this time, he still had to use this long-standing surname, "Now, as a prince, I command you, Garni Hale, to stop these ridiculous actions immediately. β
As he spoke, he pulled out his exclusive knight's sword, the golden sword body was very dazzling, and there was a red flame dragon on it, which was a symbol that could only be used by the royal family of Aura, and no one dared to imitate it without permission.
"Prince Rafa?!"
The fat woman sitting on the stage was a little surprised, Icefield City can be said to be the neighbor of Icefield City, and recently the iron and glass produced in Icefield City have quickly occupied the market of Core, which can suppress the Hall family, which is mainly based on ironware, she has long been very dissatisfied with this little neighbor, but I didn't expect him to jump on the door by himself today.
If the old emperor was still around, she might have been more polite, but now that Renault is king, Renault has always looked down on Rafa, this is known to everyone, maybe when the army will attack, and then the city of Kosol will still get a piece of the pie.
Who cares about a dying grasshopper?
"Hehehe, His Royal Highness the Prince is really a rare guest, we have been neighbors for so long, you are still the first... Oh no, second time in the city of Kosol. The fat woman was polite, but she sat motionless in her chair.
Rafa knew that the first time she said it was a reference to passing through Kosol on their way to Icefield City more than three months ago.
"It seems that you are not prepared to submit to my authority as a prince at all?" Rafa raised an eyebrow and took his sword back.
"Heheha," Jiani laughed, and the horizontal flesh on her face trembled, "Where is it? You are the third prince of the Aura Empire, the younger brother of His Majesty Renault, but you are noble! It is not wrong to say that you are the most noble person in Ora!"
"Fat woman, put away your ugly face, I really don't know how you found your husband," Rafa raised his hands and looked at the stage lightly, "touch the fat on your body, I'm afraid that your husband will be crushed to death as soon as you turn over." β
"What!?" Jiani couldn't believe that in the midst of the knights, this waste prince who no longer had much real power would dare to make a big statement, wasn't he afraid of being arrested and dedicated to Renault?
"And your yellow teeth, I'm really afraid that people will spit it out when they kiss you, oh, by the way, you're so ugly, no one should kiss you, right?"
"You!" Jiani was so angry that she gasped violently, and the flesh on her face twitched uncontrollably, and immediately dropped a lot of miserable white lead powder, "Kill me...... Catch him for me!"
"What? You want to catch me and kiss you? Forget it, I'm afraid I'll throw it up!"
Grinning and saying more, Rafa ignored the tall knights rushing up around him, drew his characteristic long sword, and with a charge, in the midst of the exclamations of the people, flew up and landed on the stage with a strange swiftness, and a dodge appeared behind Jiani.
Pressing the dangling sword against her fat neck, he pressed slightly, "I don't mind letting my blade kiss your neck, though." β
Seeing this, the surrounding guards drew their swords and tried to rush forward.
Feeling the cold on the sword's body, Jiani couldn't help but shiver, and the fat on her body shook violently, "Don't! Don't come here!"
The surrounding knights knew that their master had been taken hostage, and they did not dare to act rashly, and at this time, Rafa's knights also rushed forward with swords and spears, and surrounded Rafa and the three of them in the middle.
A reckless knight tried to snatch the iron rod from Kyle's hand, but she shot him in the head, and the tragic sight of his head blooming frightened the guards around him to immediately push some distance.
"Let's make a deal, Fat Woman. Rafa slapped her cheek with the cold blade.
"You...... You...... You said. Jiani squinted at the sharp blade, afraid that she would accidentally cut her skin.
"Send out a wagon and send these women, including all the women in your cells, out of the city. Rafa wanted to add another one, "plus 200,000 gold coins", but after thinking about it carefully, after they left, most of the fat woman's family would raise taxes more, which would make the ordinary people uneasy, so they simply put forward this condition.
"What are you going to do......"
"You don't have to worry about it. Rafa frowned slightly, and with a sword slashed off a piece of the ornament above her head, making her tremble with fright.
"Okay, yes, yes! Jiani swallowed and shouted to the knight not far away, "Sovo!
The guards in the audience were stunned, and began to beckon the other guards to untie the women, and then sent someone to gather the carriage.
"Send these women away... Can you promise to let me go?" asked Jiani again.
"It's up to you. β
While he was talking, all the guards from other places rushed over, and as soon as they arrived at the scene, they rushed to the stage.
With the sound of a loud gunshot, many of the corpses with flowering heads rolled to the ground, causing the rest of the people to scream in horror, and now they did not dare to act rashly, and all gathered around the square, fearing that the fiery iron rods would knock holes in their heads.
Soon, the church and some of the guards brought in a lot of women, and some of the priests said that there were witches in these women and could not be let go, but the guards said that it was a matter of the master's life, and without saying anything, they unshackled the women and stuffed them into the carriage.
The desperate women thought they were going to be escorted to the execution ground, but they didn't expect that the shackles were all opened, and when they saw the scene in front of them and knew that someone had come to save them, they all cried with joy, curled up in the carriage and cried faintly.
Seeing that the women were all stuffed into the carriage and left towards the outside of the city, Jiani said tremblingly, "Your Royal Highness, I have already done what you said, can you let me go?"
"Let's go. β
Rafa grabbed Janei's hair and dragged her off the chair, regardless of her howling in pain, grabbed her hair and dragged her on the ground, Kyle and the others surrounded them in the middle and moved, the surrounding guards were worried about the safety of their masters, and also moved around them, and for a time the whole square was in chaos, but no one dared to approach Rafa and his party, after all, the tragic situation of the dead on the ground made them a little afraid.
The carriage was not moving fast, so they quickly followed behind the convoy of the carriage, and Audair and the others had already controlled the horses and waited here, and now when they saw the crowd coming, they immediately greeted them.
"Your Highness!"
Seeing Rafa grab a fat woman, Audair immediately understood what was happening, and secretly blamed herself for not being by his side just now.
"You rode your horses and drove the convoy first. Rafa said to Kyle and Audrey.
"Yes. β
Kyle was very obedient to orders, he had already seen His Highness Rafa's skills, so she was not worried about his safety, but Audrey, who had been with Rafa the longest, was a little hesitant.
"Go!" he gave Audair a stern look.
"Hmmm......"
Audrey had no choice but to agree, and followed the knights to turn over and get on their horses, shouting at the convoy to move quickly.
And Rafa deliberately slowed down his pace, carrying Jiani and rubbing the ground, their appearance was very strange, they looked like a normal man holding a fat pig, the ratio of the two was a little wrong, I really don't know how the little man dragged the fat hill.
The knights drove the carriage through the gates of Kosol City, and the guards who chased after them were also driven back by their shots.
"Fat woman, you said that you have a fat body, how much oil can you refine?" Watching the convoy gradually move away, Rafa breathed a sigh of relief and began to tease Jiani, who was struggling and screaming.
"Ahhhhhh
He gave a hache and said, "I wanted to spend a few more days here, but I didn't expect to arrive at noon and leave in the afternoon, so it's really boring, I haven't bought anything I said I wanted to buy for Fili yet." β
At this time, a guard saw that he was alone, and he shot at his companion, and then clenched the long sword in his hand and rushed up left and right.
Rafa smiled slightly, dragged Jiani forward suddenly, and the two knight swords that attacked him on the left and right staggered his body, and stabbed into Jiani's arms, and suddenly she cursed her mother in pain, "Ahh
The two guards were shocked and hurriedly retreated, and no one dared to act rashly now.
Surrounded by people, he walked out of the city gate unimpeded, and the convoy was already mixed with the displaced people, and only Kyle Audair and a few others stayed not far away, waiting for him to come out.
"Get out of here!"
Sensing that it was time to leave, Rafa turned his head and put his sword on Jiani's neck, shouting angrily at the people around him.
"Get out of the way!"
Jiani had long hoped that this demon god would let her go quickly, and hurriedly shouted at the guards around her.
The guards were helpless, and opened an encirclement, staying at the gate of the city gate, but they all clutched their swords and stared at Rafa, obviously not wanting to let him go so easily.
Rafa dragged Jiani a few more steps, and was about to let go, but out of the corner of his eye, he unconsciously glanced at the corpse hanging upside down on the city wall, and immediately became angry.
"I really don't know how you got to this point. β
He grabbed Jiani's head, shouted, and then forcibly lifted Jiani, who was like a hill, and then threw it towards the tall walls of Kosol City.
"Ahhh......hhh Belch. β
The fat Jiani screamed and waved her limbs in the air, but when she hit the wall, the screaming stopped abruptly, and then she fell from the wall with a muffled "thud".
The guards hurriedly turned her over, only to find that her head had hit the ground, and her head had been hit by her own body and shrunk into the fat flesh.
It took a lot of effort to pull her head out of the fat, but I found that her neck had already been broken, and there was no breath left.
The angry guards looked up, only to find Rafa galloping away on horseback.
"Give me chase!"
The knight roared angrily, mounted his horse himself, and led a cavalry of more than 100 people to chase after him.
"Hahaha!"
Rafa let out a string of hearty laughter, hugged Audair in front of him, squeezed the reins, and galloped his horse.
