Chapter 16: Execution and Authority
The next morning, while everyone was still groggy and awake, they were awakened by the astonishing news that last night several outcasts who did not know whether they were alive or dead had dared to murder the consul, Lord Francis, and were found by Lord Francis's maid Ashley and were caught, and were to be executed this morning.
Hearing the news, everyone was a little stunned, on the one hand, they didn't believe it, and on the other hand, they felt that those people were so bold that they dared to murder an archon like this, and this archon had saved their lives not long ago and gave them a place to live.
When Gu Feicang took Ashley and the pikemen and escorted the yoke and his party to the open space outside the Baiye outpost, at this moment, the surrounding area of the open space was already full of people, looking at the york and his party who were escorted by the pikemen, everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
Seeing this, Gu Feicang raised his hand and pressed it down, and suddenly, everyone who was still whispering suddenly quieted down, and their eyes were the same, projecting on Gu Feicang's body.
I saw Gu Feicang with a gloomy face, and with the team of cold pikemen behind him, there was a little more sense of non-anger and self-authority in the whole person.
"You people of the White Field Outpost, you must know what happened, just last night, these damned outcasts, ignoring me, the great archon, Francisco Stewart's merciful salvation, but instead of greed and evil thoughts, in the middle of last night, they intended to assassinate me, but fortunately, they were discovered in advance by my maid, Ashley. “
"As the consul of the White Field Outpost, I have the supreme command of the White Field Post, therefore, I have decided to put the few outcasts who intended to kill me to death and hang them, and now, in front of you, I hereby declare and bring them up. As he spoke, Gu Feicang waved his hand, and the two pikemen immediately escorted a few homeless people to the clearing, kicked them the knee, and a group of people fell to the ground one after another.
"Honorable Archon, we were wrong, please forgive us for our offense, we are willing to be your slaves, I beg you to forgive us our sins, all this, all this is the bewitchment of that damned, life-hungry York, we, we are all deceived by demagoguery, please, beg mercy lord, spare us, spare us. “
In the face of the threat of death, several homeless people cried bitterly, and kept kowtowing to Feicang and begging for mercy, as a modern person, picking up a butcher's knife is definitely not such a simple thing, looking at the few people kneeling in front of him, the pity in Gu Feicang's heart is also constantly rising.
However, Gu Feicang also knew that if it weren't for Ashley's desperate efforts to wake herself up, now, it would be himself who had died, and if he couldn't be ruthless this time, I am afraid that his prestige in the Baiye Outpost would also be minimized, and among those outcasts, I am afraid that not only a few of them have such and such careful thoughts, whether it is for themselves or for the future of the Baiye Outpost, this time, they must harden their hearts.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Gu Fei made a straight face, hid all his emotions, and said in a cold voice: "You guys, you are unforgivable, the day you embark on the road of assassination, it will doom you, Ryan, execution!"
"Yes, Commander. Hearing this, Ryan nodded heavily, glanced at the pikemen beside him, and saw a long group of spearmen raise their spears in their hands, and stabbed mercilessly in the wails of several people.
Puff, puff, the sound of the spear piercing the heart was clear in the ears, a scream sounded in the crowd, Gu Feicang's body trembled slightly, his heart was cold, and his clenched fists couldn't stop oozing sweat, it was not the first time to face death, nor was it the first time to kill, but before, they were all fighting for survival, only this time, it was really from the perspective of the superior, executing the same human beings as himself, which is definitely not so easy to adapt to for a person who has received more than 20 years of peace and equality education.
Seeing those few people struggling in front of his eyes, constantly passing his vitality, and finally stiffening and not moving, Gu Feicang's heart was also beating more and more intensely, more and more slowly, in order not to show his cowardice in front of everyone, Gu Feicang forced himself to look down, and his not long nails were deeply rooted in the palms of his hands, leaving eight deep crescent-shaped scars in the heart of his fist.
After a long time, Gu Feicang finally got used to it, looked at the corpses that were already cold, raised his somewhat stiff arm, and waved lightly towards a few corpses, "Ice Demon Ring!"
With a burst of ice-blue light, in the frightened eyes of everyone, the corpses of several people were instantly frozen into pieces of ice, like several ice sculptures.
"Magician, Lord Archon is a powerful magician?" Seeing this scene, everyone who was originally as quiet as a chicken instantly boiled, looking at Gu Feicang with horror, envy, and admiration.
Seeing this, Gu Feicang's face should not be at all, he has the memory of his original body, he naturally knows how great the deterrent power of magicians is in this world, although he is not a magician, but with this hand, it is enough to deter all people with bad intentions, and let his majesty in the Baiye outpost reach the peak.
"You've all seen what happens to those who try to rebel, Ryan, you have to set up the bodies of these people in front of the White Field Outpost, so that everyone knows what the consequences of rebellion are. ”
"In addition, there is one thing to tell you, not far from the White Field Outpost, there is a kobold race, sooner or later, we will meet them, but everyone rest assured, I, the consul of the White Field Post, Francisco Stewart, have enough strength to protect the White Field Outpost, and in two days, there will be a team of soldiers to come to support, the White Field Outpost is an absolutely safe existence, so everyone must be more diligent in collecting stone and wood to build the White Field Outpost, understand?"
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar again, if they knew the news before, they were afraid that everyone present would panic and even run away in private, but now, after showing their great strength, although everyone is still afraid of the horror of kobolds, they don't dare to show it, after all, their archon is a mysterious and powerful magician, if he disobeys his order, whether he will also become a new ice sculpture, no one dares to guarantee.
It can be said that through this Liwei, not to mention anything else, at least Gu Feicang's strength is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
