Chapter 326: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain (Part II)
"Raise your head, and tell me that Lord Ben will forgive you not guilty. ”
Luo Ming directly said such domineering words.
However, the noble lord originally had his own judicial and administrative powers, and in his own territory was the heavens, the laws and judges, and in other people's territories, as long as no one was in charge, he could also do whatever he wanted, so there was nothing wrong with him saying this.
As for these people who are still trembling...... Even if Luo Ming said that he would forgive them for not being guilty, who would dare to really talk nonsense?
Luo Ming cherished his credibility, but they certainly didn't know about it—in their perceptions. It's not once or twice that the aristocratic lord has broken his word and gained weight, if he talks nonsense, he will definitely die without a place to be buried.
However, Luo Ming's words also made them a little relieved, and they gradually dared to speak.
The two herdsmen still wanted to defend themselves, but the remaining survivors also began to speak out, completely overpowering their voices, making them unstable on their knees and falling directly to the ground.
Luo Ming listened to the survivors' stories and couldn't help but show a disgusted expression.
Of course, human beings can be very noble when they are noble, but when they are low, they can also fall below the bottom line that ordinary people can imagine.
The so-called madness, leading beasts to eat people is nothing more than that.
These two belong to the latter.
The survivors had seen the two cultists praise them, and they did their best to slap the two cultists, while taunting the other survivors who were to be captured as monster rations.
Not only the survivors, but even the soldiers who heard these words glared at the two men angrily.
At this time, the two of them trembled like chaff.
One of them couldn't bear the huge pressure, and there was a faint smell of urine under him.
Then, as if he had gone completely mad, he shouted out what they had done—and the other herdsman's face turned hideous, and he subconsciously tried to choke him by the neck and seal it, and it seemed that there were many unspeakable secrets...... However, he naturally did not succeed, and was kicked over by Luo Ming halfway.
And what Luo Ming heard made him have no heart to appreciate the ugliness of the two.
The two were initially caught by the cultists, begged for mercy, and even chose to use their herding expertise to help the cultists drive livestock...... That's it, the ants are still stealing.
However, when the cultists threw them a little petty profit, they felt that it was profitable, and by the way, they harbored some revenge mentality, and even helped the cultists come up with a poisonous plan.
First, as Neiying, he allowed the cultists to successfully steal 150 sheep and 10 cattle belonging to the original lords of the two, and then as Neiying, he helped the cultists deceive a small village, so that the small village was washed in blood, and only 23 of the more than 50 villagers have survived.
This made Luo Ming intolerable.
The latter is a murderous person who rapes two devils, in order to make profits, betrays his own clan, resulting in innocent people being slaughtered and abused, as a person with a normal sense of morality, Luo Ming naturally cannot tolerate this.
And Luo Ming, as a lord, is even more disgusted with the first behavior.
These two villains have been safe by helping the cultists drive sheep.
However, they still wanted to get more benefits from the cultists, so they did not hesitate to sell their original lord, causing the lord to lose hundreds of sheep's property.
It is conceivable that if their ability is enough, they will dare to sell the life of the lord himself!
If such betrayers can survive well and not be convicted and punished, won't the loyalty of his subordinates become a joke?
The normal atmosphere will be corrupted at once, and when the time comes, no one will take loyalty seriously, and everything will be directly aligned with interests, and for this reason it will be easy to betray their superiors and lords...... The position of the lord of Na Luo Ming is also unstable.
Without hesitation, Luo Ming ordered the soldiers to hang the two men and hang them at the entrance of the barracks.
Killing people is a good way, especially when the person who is killed has a way to die, and no one can blame anything.
Of his current army, six hundred were brought by himself, and another six hundred were provided by his allies—who had been trained by him and his soldiers, but who needed to be in awe.
In addition, the Inquisition also sent a small team of paladins and priests to help, although Luo Ming was very grateful for their help, but he also had to give them some awe, so as not to disobey the command and cause chaos at that time.
After all, military law is harsh, and if it is not harsh, it is difficult to govern the army.
Twenty-three survivors hurriedly kowtowed in thanks, and Luo Ming waved his hand and asked the militia to take them down to take care of them.
Although Luo Ming personally observed and confirmed that none of the more than 20 people had combat effectiveness, it was not like there was something that should be mixed in, but it was necessary to guard against it.
Besides, a group of ordinary people who can't read a single word can hardly guarantee that they will not make noise or walk around, and there is no room for chaos in the heavy military aircraft.
If you count the time, you should probably be aware that the livestock and population on this side have been intercepted.
...... So, what will the other party do?
Luo Ming was looking forward to what the other party would do...... But he's prepared, and either way, it's good for him.
While waiting, his soldiers were also not idle—they rotated in three shifts, two of which were resting while the other continued to dig trenches, raise earthen walls, and make more obstacles such as deer barricades and horse rejections.
"Report to your lordship, a large group of monsters have been dispatched to the west!"
Then the Count heard the results of the estimates of three scouts in a row, and they thought that the monsters that had been dispatched were as few as five hundred as seven hundred.
The monsters here were originally less than a thousand, even if new monsters were born during this time, it was only about a thousand.
It can be said that in this way, more than half of the main forces of the monsters were dispatched.
This is the perfect time.
After a few discussions with several church leaders, the Count made a decision and immediately began to reorganize the army.
By the time the monster faded away, the soldiers were ready.
"Follow me!"
He put on his armor and mounted his horse, shouted loudly, and ordered the whole army to advance.
With a huge army of 2,000 men, even the Earl had only led such a large army during the last Holy War.
At this moment, he was actually a little distracted.
Outside of the county of Vanchy, what enemy could stop such an army in this county?
Victory, so to speak, has already shown the light of day!
