Chapter 275: Post-War Cleanup
The ultimate goal of the Del family's expedition this time is to obtain a good port on the west coast of the Flying Wings, open the seafaring trade, dump goods to distant countries, and make huge profits, which has reached an agreement with the Flying Wing Royal Family, and the Flying Wing Royal Family's request is for the Del family to help them quell local rebellions along the way, in fact, even if the other party does not bring it up, Charon will clear a safe passage.
Originally, the idea of the Del family was to build a fortress after obtaining the port, and with the permission to build a railway from the Flying Wing Royalty, they would build a railway along the way from the Taylor Mountains to the west coast, which was for their own side to transport goods and troops, and the Flying Wing Royal Family did not have to pay a single gold coin to get convenient transportation, and the local nobles along the way could also get a lot of taxes, and the only one who suffered was the Del family who contributed money and efforts to build the railway.
How could the Del family, who have been increasing investment in various fields, come up with such a large sum of money, the wool is still out of the sheep after all, and every time the Del army captures a place, it will plunder the wealth of the nobles, in addition to a part of the consumption of the army, there is a large surplus, and these are the money used to hire the people of the flying wings who can't survive to build the railway, in the end, it is the blood of the flying wings.
But now the plan has changed slightly, and since the aristocracy along the way has decayed to such an extent, it is better to keep them in their own hands. The Del family can support them, so that they have the confidence to have the central royal power that has been even more decaying after the Great War of Independence, and these wastes are short-sighted and only care about petty profits, and after the great voyage profits, the Del family only needs to give them a little soup when they eat meat, and Charon feels that they will not even be ashamed of today's defeat.
However, in order to prevent these wavering walls from sitting on the grass, Charon also specially prepared for them internal friction opponents, that is, the resistance forces that had been expelled and killed by them, but the resistance forces were far inferior to them, and he had to clear some people to balance the strength of the two sides, and he would not release all those soldiers who captured them, leaving 10,000 people for these nobles to defend the city, and the rest were used as cannon fodder for siege.
At noon, the fighting in Gavin City stopped, and after several consecutive carpet sweeps, there were basically no fish that slipped through the net, and when the curtain fell, it also announced that the Dark Gang Sheep Head would completely collapse.
After the end of the battle, it is natural to restore stability in the city, the urban area that fell at the beginning was not much damaged, and many places in the Xicheng District were beaten into ruins by the dark races who resisted and the special operations army that attacked fiercely, countless civilians suffered casualties, the wounded were screaming, the survivors who lost their families choked and cried, some people were full of hatred in their hearts, and some people were numb and desperate, huddled in the corner and waited for the disaster to come.
For these people, Charon ordered people to build camps to house them and distribute food to them, as the victor of the invasion, he could actually ignore the life and death of these people, but he did not want the city to be chaotic, and only those who felt pain could pass on the seeds of fear. As for those who are carried away by hatred and try to incite riots, Charon will not be merciful and will simply let the area be emptied, even if there are many innocent people in it.
The Del family has always been known for its horror, but it has never been a good family, the army under its command is highly disciplined, and will not kill for pleasure like ordinary troops, but it will not tolerate any resistance or obstruction, as for those who are accidentally affected, then they can only say sorry in their hearts, and they will not hesitate to move.
In the afternoon, the special forces followed the released nobles to the latter's mansion, checked the accounts, and accepted the goods offered by the other party, although this kind of family had many assets that were not revealed, but Charon did not want to force them too much, so that his men turned a blind eye, as long as the expected income was achieved, and in fact, the ransom collected was indeed more than expected.
In addition to receiving money, the operation of liquidating criminals is also being carried out at the same time, Charon has already helped the powerful nobles to elect nine people who are most compatible with the dark race, as for the ordinary nobles, a certain number of people need to be launched to quell the anger of the people, and those in the army who are careless of human life and wrongdoing also need to accept the death penalty.
The Deller soldiers went from house to house to the homes of ordinary people, received their reports, and became a weapon for them to vent their anger and fear, which was naturally done to divert attention and downplay the essence of the aggressor, as long as the majority of the people no longer strongly resisted them, then the goal would be achieved.
I have to say that there are indeed a lot of bad things in Gavin City, and there are countless ordinary people who have been brutalized and oppressed, and a wide range of people are involved, these people are mainly minions of the nobles, or scum who are willing to become slaves of the dark race, and it is really a very troublesome thing to get rid of, so the Del soldiers only pursue the typical cases of the most heinous crimes, and it took more than a day to drag most of the people on the list out of the prisoner camps and noble mansions one by one
On the Gavin City's Geff Square, thousands of brave people crowded together, on the makeshift high platform, in the encirclement of the Del soldiers, more than a hundred criminals fell to their knees, shrugged their heads, and in front of them, there was a tall and wide gallows, and more than a dozen rope nooses hung low.
One of the criminals couldn't bear the pressure and stood up, but his movements were staggering and swaying, and he couldn't dodge the crossbow arrows shot by the Del soldiers, and the pop sound sounded continuously, and he was directly shot into a hedgehog and fell to the ground!
The other criminals were not surprised, this person was not the first person to try to escape, but he was injected with a debilitating potion, and even the attendant-level body could not exert his strength, and where could he escape. Since you can't escape, it's better to accept your fate, so that you can take two more breaths of fresh air.
"In accordance with the agreement signed between the Flying Wings Royal Family and the Torse Federation, the Southern Army of Thor has come to help quell the rebellion, clear the evil hidden among the people, and have now eliminated most of the members of the Gavin Leader of the Sheep. Casio stood in the stands and made a simple statement, and the voice of Lang Lang reverberated throughout the square, "After a whole day of searching yesterday, most of the traitors who have defected to the darkness and turned their backs on humanity have been arrested, and now they are being executed!"
More than a dozen cold soldiers each escorted a criminal, urged the other party to walk up the steps, tied the rope around the criminal's neck, and forcefully pushed the criminal out of the platform!
The criminal, who was pushed into the air, was affected by gravity, fell sharply, and luckily broke his spine directly, and died because the central nervous system was destroyed, and he was unable to hang in the air. And those who are in better physical condition did not die on the spot, they kept kicking their legs, twisting their hands behind them but could not break free, their faces slowly changed from red to black, and the compression of the major arteries caused their brains and hearts to lack oxygen, and finally lost consciousness in pain.
The people of Gavin City watched this scene with fear and excitement, and those who had family and friends who had been mutilated cheered loudly, and after a while choked up and cried about the victims who could not be resurrected, and their hearts no longer had such a deep resistance to the Tors army who did not deliberately slaughter civilians and helped Gavin City to eliminate evil.
"The first batch of executions is over, and the second batch begins!"
As the execution process progressed, the ground in front of the gallows was already full of fallen corpses, but the last few groups of prisoners were not hanged, these people were all squire-level transcendents with extraordinary strength, although they were injected with a large amount of debilitating medicine, but their own physique was there, and it was impossible to hang them without half a day, so the execution was beheading.
Compared with the bloodless death penalty before, this is undoubtedly much bloodier, soaring high pillars of blood, rolling heads on the ground, and then looking at the indifferent and ruthless executioners, the voice of the people who chanted feverishly gradually weakened, and deep awe floated in their hearts!
This kind of sentiment was infinitely magnified when the nobles were escorted over, and the Torse soldiers actually wanted to execute so many nobles! Then he remembered that the southern army of Tors had fought with the kingdom for two hundred years, and it had only eased up in the past few years, and the other party really would not be afraid of the kingdom's dissatisfaction, and perhaps the royal family of the kingdom would like the Tors to do this, thus weakening the power of the nobles everywhere.
"Barons and Viscounts, are you sure you will use the piercing sentence?"
"That's right, even if the noble nobles die, it is not something that a mere untouchable can watch wantonly!"
The arrogance of the aristocracy and the attitude of no one in their eyes suddenly aroused the dissatisfaction and anger of the ordinary people, and these filthy nobles themselves colluded with the dark race to kill the people of Gavin's collar, and they could still be so shameless!
"Traitors to humanity!" "You murderers!"
The soldiers lifted an iron coffin and placed it upright on the ground, these iron coffins were made by the nobles who paid for their valuables, and they would not open them again after the execution, but directly find a place to bury them, so that no one could see their death, which was the last trace of dignity that these nobles could maintain.
The nobles' legs trembled, but their expressions remained proud, and they stepped into the prepared iron coffin, closed the door, and screamed as a sharp sword thrust in from different angles, the last sound they could make in this world.
