In the dark dungeon, Laheim's calf ached, wounded by the guards yesterday when they dragged him here, to be exact, crippled, and his calf was broken and swollen terribly. A heart-piercing pain came from the bones of his foot, and it was unbearable for him. However, you don't have to endure it for long. Soon, he will be guillotined.

The guards of the castle grabbed people like chickens, and if they resisted slightly, they immediately added their fists and kicks. He said that he was a lord, but in fact he was just a thug. Laheim knew that Rhodes had already calculated, and if he met another lord, in this case, he would have to be tortured to death, and Rhodes only ordered a public trial, and the result of the trial was undoubtedly beheading.

Looking back on the road he had traveled in the past two years, Laheim was saddened, he was originally just a minor nobleman in Erlengrad, and it was a blessing to be able to escape from that city before the great rebellion, he should have run it honestly, however, a man who had never climbed to the pinnacle of life tasted the taste of power and wealth, and was reluctant to let go.

He could finally understand why so many desperate people ended up believing in Chaos...... When you have nothing, it is better to pursue the most primitive desires and destroy the so-called order of this world. However, he didn't even have a chance to believe in Chaos, and the town seemed to be protected by countless protective barriers under Rhodes' rule, with various temples and monasteries everywhere, and witch hunters roaming secretly...... It is almost impossible for the forces of chaos to infiltrate.

After spending the night in a pitch-black dungeon, Raheim was dragged out of his cage by several castle guards. Yes, it was dragged out, he could barely walk, limping towards the square in the center of town.

The crowd has long gathered here, and the Black Hammer Castle has been a lot of events recently, first the Norscans made trouble, forced the girl, and was tortured on the spot by Lord Rhodes. This was followed by the Rugby Tournament. Not long after the tournament ended, Laheim, the once powerful No. 1 noble merchant of Blackhammer Castle, was put on public trial.

However, these three things are popular with the public. First of all, Rod's handling was convincing to the people, even if the Norscans wanted to leave the castle on the spot, Rhodes did not stop them. The second thing is that the Rugby Grand Prix has given the people a new form of entertainment, and according to Rod, the tournament will be held once a year in the future, and the winner will have a large amount of prize money. It has given birth to a lot of additional industries, which not only stimulates the nerves of the people, but also gives many poor people the opportunity to show their skills and get ahead. After all, rugby is not a sport to fight for, but to fight for the body and win on your own. The third thing is that Laheim was put on public trial, and I don't know how many people secretly praised and applauded. You must know that this nouveau riche earns profits by exploiting the workers, and how much of the wealth he has is the hard-earned money of the low-level civilians of Blackhammer Castle......

As he walked to the town square, Raheim saw countless angry civilians along the way, holding rotten leaves and pebbles, and throwing them at him.

The guards dispersed the crowd, and although they might have wanted to slap him a few more times, Rhodes had orders that Raheim must be brought alive to the square to stand trial. So, the guards could only carry out the orders of the lord.

All the way to the judgment seat, Raheim's feet were bleeding, the corners of his eyes were swollen, and there were puddles of feces on the top of his head. In a dilemma.

Immediately afterward, the masked man stepped forward and accused him of paying assassins to assassinate the lord and the people around him. At this moment, the anger of the people was completely ignited, and without Rhodes opening his mouth, all kinds of garbage were smashed like a storm, smashing on the face and chest of the young nobleman, as if there was no need for trial, and the people had already pronounced his death sentence in their hearts...... But Rhodes still has to follow the procedure.

"Raheim Meldev. Do you plead guilty?"

Alves stood on the judgment bench and said in a calm tone.

"Hmph...... Humph......"

Laheim was speechless, his head hung down, drops of blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and the cold north wind ruffled his hair. This is undoubtedly the saddest moment of his life, hurry up and end it!...... he cried out in his heart.

"Well, since you're no longer pleading. Then, in the name of the gods, I declare, you are guilty. ”

Next is the time of execution. Virgil, as Minister of Public Security, stepped onto the execution table. Amid the roars of the crowd, the chief knight drew the sword on his back. The knight's sword reflected the sunlight, and the bright halo was dazzling.

He bowed his head in prayer, then raised his sword and slashed it down. When the head hit the ground, blood spurted out. Some women covered the eyes of children, however, many more, were cheering and shouting.

......

After the execution, Laheim's remaining assets needed to be liquidated and confiscated. Considering that there were still many workers in the workshop, the sudden loss of their jobs by these people would cause social unrest. As a result, Rhodes kept these workshops and allowed them to continue to produce, and the products were owned by Blackhammer, that is, by Rhodes. The workers' salaries are also distributed by the Black Hammer Castle Treasury.

Quarella, Skagard, and Clive bought some cheap assets as they wished, but they seemed to be far from what they expected...... Because, in the business war with Laheim, Laheim actually sold many assets back to Rhodes one after another in order to cash out. He had a partnership with Rhodes in the first place. For example, the mine cannot be sold to anyone else, it is the property of Blackhammer Castle, and private individuals are not allowed to buy it, so it can only be sold back to Rhodes.

So, after a fierce battle, although the three of them also shared the benefits, it was far less than what the lord received. The person who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight did nothing, but in the end he was the one with vested interests......

......

"Alves, you need to take care of these people's salaries, housing, and health issues next. More than 200 people, not a small number, the winery is still in production, and it cannot be stopped. Otherwise, there will be no salary, and the population will complain. ”

After the turmoil was over, Rhodes called Alves to his office and assigned the little dwarf the next tasks. Gradually, Alves has taken over the work of the old butler Muros. But Rod didn't give him all the work at once, and he also had to give him a period of adaptation. It's just that, judging by the performance during this period, Alves has done a good job. Sometimes Rhodes feels that he is inferior to him. For example, when he went to Laheim's house to act in that scene, he was even more powerful than a professional actor......

"Of these, I have prepared a house, thirty houses, each of which can accommodate four people, that is, one hundred and twenty people. There will be no more workers in the winery. You can arrange specific staffing, such as whether there are husbands and wives among them, and you can arrange them together. Which workers are better can also be arranged together. You can arrange the work on these details. ”

After Rod finished speaking, he rubbed his temples, and he hadn't rested for a while......
