Chapter 27: Deterrence

"Lord, something is wrong!"

In the evening, the knight Virgil strove into the lord's office. Rhodes was sitting at his desk, replying to the manuscript that Alves had handed him. With the acceleration of the progress of the project, various things have also increased a lot, such as materials and food supplies for the engineering team, although Alves is now Rhodes's assistant, but he can't handle everything by himself, and Rhodes still needs to look at the accounts. Seeing Virgil's hurried appearance, Rod immediately put down what he was doing and raised his head to stare at him.

"What's so urgent?" sit down and talk slowly. ”

"Norscan, a Norscan has taken the girl in town, and now Celta has captured him and is waiting for your fate. Virgil was impatient, "However, the relatives and brothers of this Norscan criminal blocked Celta at the door to ask Celta for help. ”

"How old is the girl who was forcibly baoned?"

Rod dropped the pen in his hand and asked with a serious expression.

At the age of fourteen, her family claimed to have killed the man who had forced her. ”

"It's normal, according to the law, if you force a girl, you will be punished heavily. ”

But the Norscans were not willing to be punished, and his men surrounded Celta and prevented him from taking the criminals to the castle. ”

"Take me there. ”

After a brief understanding of the situation, Rhodes picked up the bluestone, pressed it on the manuscript, and followed Virgil out of the castle to understand the situation.

......

After walking out of the castle gate, the town was already full of onlookers. The crowd was full of voices, and almost formed a situation of two factions competing with each other. Naturally, Mrs. Keighrie sided with the victim and her family, while the Norscans formed a gang of their own to support the troublesome Norscan companions.

In Norscar, men can do anything when they are drunk, and sometimes it is normal to rob women as wives, however, in Kislev, this is not the case. Although Kislev's system is not perfect, it can be regarded as an orderly country with its own laws. According to the law, a girl under the age of 15 must be given 20 lashes, and it does not matter whether the person is still alive after 20 lashes. Live, spare his life, to die is to die, and the sin deserves it. The reality, of course, is that very few people can withstand these twenty lashes.

When Rhodes arrived, the two gangs were standing in the street and confronting each other, and the victim's family was filled with grief and indignation, and the girl was so humiliated that anyone would be indignant when they saw it.

Rhodes was concerned about the girl's injuries first, she was a little frightened, she was in a trance, a wound like a bite from a wild beast to the place of the collarbone, you can imagine what kind of atrocities the Norscans had committed before.

"Celta, give me the man. ”

Under the gaze of the crowd, Rhodes walked up to Celta again and ordered his men to hand over the barbarian who had committed the crime.

Soon, Celta entered the house and pushed the rapist out. He had a gray face, a strong body, and his skin was as white as the twilight snow of late winter, typical of northern barbarians.

"You forced her?"

In full view, Rhodes stood in front of the Norsca prisoner and asked loudly.

"Hmph, I did it. ”

The Norscan man replied loudly, arrogant and arrogant. The people of Kislev behind him immediately burst into a chaotic and noisy scolding, while the Norscans on one side of the street stared at Mrs. Kisley on the other side, and the scene was full of gunpowder.

"But if you confess it, do according to the law. ”

Rod continued.

"The law, this is your law, not mine. The tribe did not have such a law. ”

The Norsca prisoners were tied up and continued to resist arrogantly. Ambiguous 43

"Tell me, then, what is your law?"

Rod asked coldly.

"According to our law, I should have married her. Let her be my woman. ”

The Norscans shouted.

"No, this is not your tribe, this is Blackhammer Castle, this is Kislev. I don't care what tribe you come from, all I know is that now, you are in my land, and you must obey my laws. ”

Rod said aloud.

The Norscan criminal was speechless for a moment, but he was still unwilling to compromise.

"you TMD law! I won't obey it!"

The Norscar prisoner yelled.

"I don't care if you obey it or not, in my land you must obey my law. ”

"What if I say no?"

That Norscar man was arrogant and arrogant.

"Then you can try, I once killed the vampire lord by myself, if you want to try, I can let you try. ”

Faced with the arrogant prisoner, Rhodes simply returned coldly, and the white bear Ursok stepped out of the crowd, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a low roar at a group of troublesome Norscans. The Gnoscans in the front row trembled suddenly......

Soon, from the castle, came a detachment of heavily armed guards. Passing through the downtown area, they surrounded a group of troublesome Norscans.

At this point, the Norscans panicked. No lord would slaughter the inhabitants of his castle, but it seems that this white bear lord has no fear. They saw him standing in place, like a giant beast, and a dark red dagger was faintly visible between his cuffs. Even from a distance, the crowd can feel the oppression.

"When you come to me, obey my laws, and Blackhammer is not a tribe. If you want to go wild on this territory, then don't blame me for being unkind to them. Follow me, obey my laws, and I will lead you to victory and supreme glory and status. Work against me, I won't show mercy. Blackhammer Castle defeated an entire horde's army, and it was up to a few of you to make trouble, and it was still tender. ”

Faced with the arrogant Norskas and the angry Kislev populace, Rhodes spoke up. He deliberately raised his voice so that everyone could hear it. This punishment is no longer a simple punishment, but is related to Rod's prestige among the people. Rhodes knew that if it was not handled well, the people were full of grievances, and all the efforts of the past two years would be in vain.

Finally, under the double pressure of the White Bear and the guards, a group of Norscans from the north retreated. They stopped shouting and were silent.

"Celta, follow the rules. ”

After shocking the Norscans, Rhodes handed the whip into Celta's hands. After all, he was in charge of managing the Norscans. If there is something, he must preside over and adjudicate it.

"You're a Norscan, too!"

In plain sight, the Norscan criminal was about to be punished. He struggled and yelled at Celta, trying to convince him and wake him up to his homeland.

However, Celta, who had experienced the mutiny, knew that the lord he was following was not negotiable. After less than a second of hesitation, Celta raised her whip and slammed it into the face of the Nosca***** criminal.

Suddenly, the criminal's skin opened, and blood spurted out of his mouth...... This is not an ordinary whipping, the leather whip has an iron bar on it, so let alone twenty lashes, four or five strokes are enough to kill.

At sunset, the Norsca criminals knelt on the ground, and their flesh and blood were blurred, and gradually, the kneeling position became a lying position...... The strong body was already shattered after the whipping, and the entire back was almost broken......
