Chapter 59: Rough Punishment
Boom!
The gate was kicked open by the sturdy Lord of Blackhammer Castle, Rod. In front of me, there is a picture of erosion and pleasure -
A dozen or so Norscan raiders sat in the castle's main hall, enjoying a sumptuous meal. Sitting in the middle, the Norscar pirate Celta sat on a table with a large lamb chop in one hand, nibbling rudely. The Norscan raiders beside him grabbed the greasy chicken leg and stuffed it into their mouths.
The other two Norscan warriors were reclining on stone chairs, sipping wine stored in the castle's cellar. Others tore the flesh from their hands and stuffed it into their mouths.
Rhodes barged in without warning, surprising all the Norscans. They didn't even have time to get up before they were slapped on the table by Rhodes, all the food they had not had time to swallow was squeezed on their faces, and the greasy chicken thighs were flattened and smeared all over the face of the Norscan raider.
Another pirate saw this and wanted to resist angrily, but as soon as he drew his axe, Rhodes grabbed his wrist, only to hear the sound of broken bones, and Rod broke the Norscan pirate's wrist with one hand......
Sattar got up from his chair and was about to resist when he was punched in the face by Rhodes, and broken teeth and blood spurted out of his mouth, spitting all over the ground.
I wanted to get up again, but I was punched by Rhodes again, and I almost passed out.
With such a rough appearance, the Norscans were silent.
They didn't expect their leader to come back so soon, and they didn't expect their leader to suppress them in such a brutal way as soon as he appeared......
They tried to quibble, but Rhodes took a step ahead, grabbed the bleeding Celta, and dragged him to the center of the castle hall. Then he opened his voice and said loudly-
"A month ago, on that cargo ship, you begged me to take you in and be your king. I promised you to take you under my umbrella. I regard you as my siblings, and I will share with you as soon as I have wine and meat. However, just a month later, when I was away from Blackhammer, you began to plunder and laziness. ”
"Am I sorry for you, am I treating you badly? Tell me, Norsca Marauders!"
Rod yelled. No one in the audience dared to say anything. They listened to their leader's lecture one by one, and the Norsca marauder who had been stuffed with food by Rhodes cleaned his face in embarrassment, sweeping off the chicken crumbs on it.
"You are all warriors in a hundred, you are all wolves of the north, a warrior, a fierce wolf of the north, should fight in the most dangerous places and challenge the most powerful enemies, not bully the weak here and occupy the mountains as kings. Tell me, how many innocent people have you bullied here?!"
Standing among the Norskas, Rhodes roared like a giant bear. Everyone looked at him and did not dare to say a word, not even the knights and servants outside the door. It was a separate meeting for the Rhodes and Norsca Marauders. He had to teach them a lesson, in fact, before he came in, Rhodes had investigated what the Norscans were doing in the city, and had gathered a lot of evidence. It was proved that this was not a frame-up, and that it was not deliberately forged by Virgil and the rest of the city against the Norscans. The plunder, the bullying, is real.
"I'm so ashamed of you. When a farmer does not pay his rations, you punch and kick him and forcibly plunder his rations. A miner who has reaped more because of his more work, and you are so angry that you rob him of the income of his labor this month. Do you think this is what a strong man should do? Let me tell you, this is a coward! Only a coward can bully someone who is weaker than him. ”
Rod's roar echoed through the bleak halls of the castle. Gradually, the Norskas laid down their weapons. If you have chosen this man to be your king, you must obey him. Unless one of you can challenge him and defeat him, shut up. And now, these Norscans know that none of them has the ability to compete with the White Bear Lord.
Power is everything. Although Rhodes came in and beat them up, this was the most correct solution to the problem in the eyes of the Norscans. If you don't accept it, you will fight until you obey. This is their code of conduct and worldview. And Rhodes also fully "respected" their worldview.
After Rhodes finished speaking, the guards of Blackhammer finally rushed in, they were fully armed, staring nervously at the outsiders. Sunlight pours into the room through the cracks in the windows, reflecting slender shadows.
"Now, consciously hand over your stolen goods, hand over all your loot, and return it to the people of Blackhammer Castle. At the same time, I must punish you. Severe punishment!"
Rod said aloud.
The atmosphere was suffocatingly quiet, and no one knew what these bandit-like Norscans were going to do next? They stared at Rhodes for a second, two, three...... To outsiders, this seems to be discontent and confrontation, however, in Rhodes' opinion, they have been completely submissive.
Eventually, Sattar Ike was the first to step forward and return his loot, covering the wound on his head and tossing a string of silver coins on the stone table. The silver coin was still stained with blood, the place where it had just been broken by Rod, and the blood seeped out and stained the coin red.
Soon, the second Gnosca raider handed over his stolen goods. The ill-gotten gains were slowly piled up on the table. And from beginning to end, Rod stopped gnawing.
It wasn't until twenty-five Norscan raiders had handed over all the loot that Rhodes left the castle with them. The punishment will be carried out individually, in the methods of the Norscans.
How, no one knows. Rhodes won't let them know either, he just tells the inhabitants of Blackhammer that he will take them to make amends with double the damage these Norscans have done to them.
