Chapter 224: Despair and Anger

The party was anxious, but his father deliberately wanted to be anxious for him, and he swallowed every step slowly. The www.biquge.info was clearly half a city away, flying like a mother to the execution ground of the military headquarters in the city in a few seconds, but the Duke of Foster had to set up his car, call the coachman, and neatly follow the guards before setting off, and even if he was on the road, he was hurrying leisurely, not at all like rushing to save people...... As the minutes passed, the sun's position in the sky gradually increased, and Rhodes became more and more uneasy and nervous, and Grom said that the execution was in the morning, and at this rate, he was afraid that it would be close to noon, and if he arrived, he would only be able to collect the body of Ryan......

"Can't you go any faster!," he urged the coachman anxiously.

"What's the hurry, in case you hit someone, you are responsible?" Duke Foster sat in the car, changed his comfortable position, and gave the opposite order: "At this speed, there is no hurry." ”

He was so anxious that he almost knelt down for his father, although they were all masters, but the coachman naturally listened more to the words of the duke, who paid his salary, and the carriage ran steadily over the stone pavement, slowly crawling like a snail to its destination......

Of course, the snail was just Rhodes' delusion, the carriage itself was not slow at all, the roads in the city were in good condition and the traffic was smooth, and they were there before the sun reached its highest point.

After identifying himself, the sentries on both sides stood up straight and saluted, opened the gate, and let the marshal, who was nominally the supreme leader of the institution, but who in fact did not come several times throughout the year, enter the military headquarters.

"Your Excellency. After getting out of the carriage, an officer soon came over: "According to your arrangement, the monster hunter has been escorted out of the cell, just waiting for your order." ”

Rod immediately understood that he was being teased, no wonder his father was not in a hurry at all, it turned out that he would not be able to do anything if he didn't get Ruien!

......

The boy breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that his father would order the release or handover to another department to take the opportunity to take him away, but the man's next sentence caught him off guard: "Well, let's execute it." ”

"Father!?"

Faqin whispered to stop his son's inquiry: "Shut up." ”

Realizing that it was inconvenient for an outsider to speak, Rhodes quickly silenced and waited until the officer who had come to ask for instructions turned to leave, and then asked, "Father, are you ...... What does this mean......"

"Follow me. ”

Rod was full of confusion, but now that Ruien's life was in his father's hands, how dare he say more, and obediently followed Lao Tzu around and around to the roof of a three-story building.

This is the western area of the imperial capital, and high-rise buildings are not allowed to be built around the military headquarters without permission, so the view is extremely wide. As far as the eye can see, there is the majestic Imperial Military Headquarters building to the north, the playground for officers and staff to the south, and the streets of Wenwei City to the east...... To the west, there is a small execution ground for the execution of the sentences of the military court.

......

(With a height of ten meters and a horizontal distance of nearly fifty meters, how can you save Ryan?)

A bad premonition rose from the bottom of his heart, Rod became nervous, and he looked at his father: "What are we doing here?"

"If you stand high and look far away, you can see the whole process of the execution. ”

Rod breathed heavily, his eyes revealed incredible, could it be that after begging so many times, his father finally had to force himself to watch the process of Ruien's hanging, so that he could remember the "lesson"?

On the execution ground below, the figure of the monster hunter appeared, wearing heavy shackles, and was escorted under the gallows in the middle of the field by several sturdy soldiers. Because it is a secret execution ground for the execution of military law, surrounded by tall walls, there is no one in the field except for the executive officer and the execution soldiers, Rod counted the number of people, is this to rob the law field by himself?

***

Ryan was wheeled to the gallows with a noose around his neck, and he sighed, no longer holding out hope.

At the public trial that day, Rodna's mother made him change her testimony at the last minute by talking in his head, and she promised to try to save herself...... And yesterday someone from the Foster family came to the prison to confirm this to himself, but now that he has been put on a rope, what about the person who saved him?

The executive followed the procedure with a blank face and read the results of the Imperial Military Tribunal's trial of the hunter one last time, nodded, and signaled to begin.

Scammed.

The hunter was a little unwilling, he understood that it might be really difficult to save himself, and if Rod chose not to save himself when he couldn't protect himself, he wouldn't have too many complaints...... But the boy shouldn't have told him that someone would come to save him, so he always maintained a hope, and he didn't change his testimony until he went to the gallows.

Now immediately retract his confession and admit that Rhodes was the one who attacked the Midland soldiers that day, but then he will still die, so what's the point of surviving a few more days?

Forget it.

He didn't have time to think anymore, and as the movable plate under his feet opened, the weight of Ruine's whole body instantly fell on the rough and strong hemp rope under the action of gravity. The biggest difference between hanging and simple suffocation death is that hanging not only prevents the victim from breathing, but also blocks the blood flow to the brain, which causes the hanged person to often lose consciousness before suffocation.

......

Rhodes clenched his fists as he watched Ryan's body hang in the air, a few days ago he had vowed never to act impulsively again, but at this moment he realized that he couldn't watch Ryan be hanged no matter what the consequences were.

Blood rushed to his head again, and Rhodes looked to the edge of the roof, ready to jump from the third floor...... Of course, it was not suicide, he already had some understanding of his physical fitness, and as long as he landed smoothly, he would never be injured. He would run to the execution ground as fast as he could, snatch a weapon, and cut the rope that hung the hunter...... Then, instead of attacking any of the soldiers, he relented, admitting that he had escaped punishment at the previous public trial and allowing the soldiers to arrest him.

Father, you can not save Reyn, or even not save your son, as long as you don't regret it.

The boy who made the decision to break the jar felt a wave of vengeful pleasure rush over him, and his legs tensed as he prepared to carry out his plan...... Then, he was astonished to find that his limbs and body were frozen in place by some magical force, and he could not move!

Duke Foster's voice sounded on the side: "Don't come nonsense, look at the field, your savior." ”

A boundless despair and anger enveloped Rhodes, and he turned his head away, no longer whispering pleading, just staring at the man beside him with hateful eyes. He had already understood that his father would not save Ryan, and not only that, but the other party would force himself to watch the hanging. His mother's explanation had dispelled his doubts about his origins, but now this suspicion had resurfaced - if this was his own father, how could he torture himself in this way?
