Chapter 656: Punishment (II)

"Yes, I see. With that, Hills stepped back respectfully.

Although Luo Ming acted as impartially as possible, he still vaguely treated Arianna with green eyes, and Hills could naturally feel a little difference after so much time.

But she has adjusted her mentality and put herself in the right position.

Compete with Ariana, she will definitely not be able to compete.

But if she broke away from Luo Ming's command in a fit of anger because of this kind of thing, what could she take with her?

She has a lot of real estate in her name, but these properties were originally received by her from Luo Ming in the name of a vassal, and once she leaves Luo Ming's camp, then Luo Ming naturally has every reason to take back all the real estate.

Not to mention that if she provokes Luo Ming's anger, she will be in danger of personal freedom and even her life.

Even if Luo Ming was lenient and didn't take her down on the spot, then the most she could take away was a few followers, a little floating wealth, which was almost equivalent to leaving the house.

In the past three years, the efforts and rewards of following Luo Ming have basically been wasted.

In a person's life, the days when he is energetic and able to do a career are only a few decades, how can there be such a casual waste?

Moreover, once she runs away, she will definitely leave a bad name, how many nobles will casually accept a "traitor" like her?

Thinking of this, Shears gave up this unrealistic idea and decided to stay under Luo Ming's command.

Even if she can't compete with Ariana, she is the second strongest priest in Luo Ming's entire territory, and she will not be treated badly no matter what.

And after Luo Ming won this war, he was like the sky, and he never hesitated to provide opportunities and rewards for his subordinates.

Even a commoner would benefit from coming under his command, and the soldiers who served him could be promoted to the aristocracy, and Shears believed that he would get more if he followed Login firmly.

And this coincides with what thousands of people under Luo Ming's command are thinking now.

Some time ago, when celebrating the victory of the "Battle of Karlo Mountain", Luo Ming had already promoted so many people in one go.

Now it can be characterized as follows: "The battle of the Van Cy side in the war against Beran has won a decisive victory".

Countless people are looking forward to how many rewards Luo Ming will give out next, and how many people will be promoted.

But before that, there is still some small work to be done.

Early the next morning.

In the open space in front of the Iron Fire City, a row of wooden crosses was erected.

Originally, these crosses were made by Luo Ming to scare people during the mole arrest activities directed and acted by himself some time ago, and they really came in handy at this moment.

The cross, which is associated with certain religious beliefs and legends on earth, has many symbolic meanings.

But in this world, it is nothing more than a cruel torture instrument.

The victim will be crucified, exposed to the wind and sun, and may be suffocated by muscle spasms caused by severe pain, or in any case, will eventually die a miserable death.

Usually the punishment that causes pain is used to torture the sinner, or to make the sinner feel so painful that he will not sin again.

And for those who are destined to be executed, unless the soul can be tortured, no amount of painful punishment is of much significance, and the outcome is the same anyway.

Even if they are tortured to madness, they will also usher in the end of final death, which is nothing more than a long detour before this ending.

But it's different for the living.

At this moment, countless ordinary people gathered around, looking forward to it.
