Chapter 54 Conferment of Titles
There was silence, and everyone was speechless by the facts contained in Touron's words, and after the silence, there was a rush of rage.
The crowd rushed forward like a tide of rage, remembering the tragic situation described by Touron's words, which they could not bear, and the scene became a little out of control, and the residents rushed forward with curses, as if they were going to tear the hyena apart, and the recruits, as the last line of defense to maintain order, desperately tried to keep the angry people out of the execution ground.
People shouted loudly, waved their fists, and picked up stones from the ground and threw them at the hyenas.
This scene made Touron, the leader, have some heart palpitations, for fear that the recruits will not be able to defend themselves, and the angry crowd will rush up and be trampled to death with him.
The noisy sound gradually condensed into a single word over the execution ground, and the sound became louder and louder.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Seeing that his goal had been fully achieved, Rand nodded secretly and made an agreed gesture at Touron, signaling that he could pronounce the verdict.
The main purpose of the public execution of the hyena by Rand was to arouse the hatred of the residents for the nobles led by Baron Batu, although Baron Batu was likely to be dead at this time, it was difficult to guarantee that no other nobles would survive the difficulties and return to the empty realm, and at that time, the residents would be able to toss him to death without having to do it themselves.
People's hearts, this trick is really useful!
And the hatred of the aristocracy, can strengthen the loyalty to themselves, compared to the two, their own lord image does not know how many times taller, the people's will is orthodox, through the study of a large number of imperial history, Rant found that the monarch who implements violent rule generally does not last long, only by getting the respect of the people, can be long-term.
"Yes! Kill him, only by killing him can our anger be appeased!" Touron declared loudly, "including his master, Ziluo, and the nobles who plotted the conspiracy, we will spare no one!"
"Kill him!" someone in the crowd shouted.
"Long live my lord, I will always follow you!" shouted someone with tears in his eyes after comparing the nobleman with Rand.
Rand sat quietly in his chair, but his heart was on fire, nothing was more exciting than his efforts being recognized, didn't he do all this to prove that he was a lord worthy of follower, able to defend the territory and the people?
"Executions begin!"
The executioner, wearing the black leather hood, nodded, walked to the lever and pulled it up hard, the old wooden gear creaked, the wire pulled the lock pin on the torture rack, the plank under the hyena's feet opened instantly, and the rope was pulled directly on the hyena's neck.
"Ho...... Ho!" the hyena kicked her legs weakly, feeling like her veins were about to burst open.
In fact, after three days in prison and tortured by the Iron Maiden, the hyena was already on the verge of death, so he didn't survive long when the rope strangled his neck.
The crowd finally fell silent when the hyena's carcass swayed gently in the wind, an outcome that everyone wanted to see.
"Now, allow me to introduce you to a man, our hero!" said Touron, in a very formal tone, "Versailles Kamra!"
Everyone's eyes followed the direction of Touron's finger, and from the side door outside the arena, Versailles was helped out, his injuries had not yet healed, and he still had a shocking scar on his face, but he was barely able to walk on the ground.
"When we were betrayed, when our brothers were killed, it was he who stepped up to defend our lord from being violated!" Touron nodded and said, "He is a worthy hero!"
As soon as the word hero came out, Fan Sai was a little at a loss, and the feeling of being noticed by everyone made his blood boil a little, and it was only now that he could really feel that what I paid was worth it.
"It was he who fought the hyenas to keep the armory...... "Someone was talking to his companions.
"I heard that he almost lost his life. ”
"He's a true warrior. Touron took a deep breath and said, "Like the four soldiers killed by the hyenas, he will receive an extremely generous reward and will also be awarded the title of Lord Lord!"
Soldiers must be allowed to see the rewards of their efforts, so that they will fight harder, which is the eternal method of unifying the army.
Versailles rubbed his ears in disbelief, "Is it the title of Lord himself?" I heard you right, this is the supreme honor!
God, I never thought my lord would be so generous!
Rand walked out of the table with a smile, came to Versailles in front of everyone, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "This is the honor you have won for yourself!"
Versailles felt that his eyes were a little sour, and he almost couldn't stand up, and his voice was a little choked: "My lord, you have given me too much." ”
"No, not much at all, Versailles, in a sense, you defended the entire Empty Territory!" Rand said softly, "I will see everyone's efforts, and I will not let anyone's blood be shed in vain." ”
Versailles burst into tears of excitement, and he trembled and broke free of the person who was supporting him, fell to his knees on one leg, and said loudly: "For the rest of his life, I am willing to serve my lord!"
With a serious expression, Rand pulled out his command sword from his waist and placed it on his chest, and pressed his left hand on the top of Verssailles' head, which was the standard investiture posture.
Versailles knew what he had to do, and he was so excited that he had not lost his mind, and he said: "Lord Rand Capet, I swear by the name and soul of Versailles Camra, that from now on, you will never grow old and never die, and I will follow you to hell whenever and wherever you give your first command!"
Rand's eyes were solemn, he knew that this was a very sacred moment, he gently placed his command sword on the shoulder of Vannel, and said, "Versailles Calam, I accept your follower, and give you the same glory as me!"
After saying this, Rand picked up the command sword and tapped it lightly on Versailles' shoulder, and took a badge from his belt bag and placed it in Versailles' hand.
The Golden Lion Badge, which is the seal of the Capetian family, and from then on, Versailles was an officer belonging to the Rand.
"You will lead the recruit regiment in my place, Iron Fist will teach you what a commander should learn, and the first order I give you is ......"
"Do your best to keep the recruits alive as much as possible this winter!"
