In the face of the Great Khan's ruling, although the audience had some regrets, they still said that it was acceptable.

"What kind of habit is this?" Zhu Wenkui was a little curious.

"Sain Khan is Batu." Guo Kang said: "This word means benevolence, and it is the honorific title given to him by his subordinates. ”

"Batu captured some of the Rus' princes. According to tradition, to give the nobles a decent place, not to let them bleed when they die. So Batu stuffed them under the floor of the tent, and the people held a feast in the tent. When the banquet is over, the Rus' people will all become two-dimensional. ”

"Two, two what?" Zhu Wenkui asked strangely.

"It's squashed." Guo Kang said.

"How many brains did the Mongols use to invent a bloodless method of execution?" Little Jeanne complained: "How do you feel like you can come up with new tricks every day......"

"I don't know." Guo Kang said that he didn't understand: "But as long as you achieve your goal, it's okay." ”

"It's better to give them a treat." Jeanne shook her head and said, "I don't know how this is merciful." ”

"Kindness or unkindness is compared." Guo Kang pointed out: "Compared with these lords in Eastern Europe, it is too simple to be merciful. ”

Several others heard their conversation and turned to listen curiously. Guo Kang then explained.

"When the Mongols first went south, they plundered and burned everywhere as before, but they were met with fierce resistance in the Jin country, and it was almost impossible to gain a foothold. Later, Mu Huali was appointed as the 'king', overturned the previous policy, and began to pacify various places, recruit Han Chen, and collect the displaced people in Tuntian. He told the crowd: "But even so, there are still people who cannot stand the tyranny of the Mongols and are resolutely resisting." Some Uighurs and Dangxiang even went to the Southern Song Dynasty to try to use their help to fight the Mongols. ”

"The Mongols killed the most in Central and West Asia. But there, on the contrary, there is no such obvious revolt. On the contrary, when the prince of Khorezm, Zalandin, confronted the Mongols, the local lords even tried to lure the Mongols to destroy him. ”

"We were in Syria and we got along well with the locals. Because the Celestial Sect community over there has a tradition of alliance with the princes of the God Worship Sect. And this habit began as early as when they formed a coalition to defend against the Khorezm. Guo Kang shrugged: "Think about it, what a psychological shadow this is." ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Zhu Wenkui was surprised: "I thought that there would be chaos in the Central Plains in one or two hundred years, which was tragic enough." ”

"You should say that the people of the Central Plains can still have a large-scale peace period of one or two hundred years between these two chaos." Guo Kang shook his head: "Look at us here, this war and killing never stops." ”

"Well, that's ......" Zhu Wenkui and Jeanna glanced at each other.

"The perennial lack of authority in European countries is the source of the chaos." Princess Jeanne suddenly interjected and commented: "When the Capet family ruled, the country was always very peaceful, and the national strength developed rapidly. Later, the family became extinct, and the new king's authority was insufficient, so it gradually began to fall into chaos, and finally became the current situation of war. I don't know if we can follow the experience of the Seris and restore order to the country. ”

"The Mediterranean world, the last time it was comparable to the Central Plains, was still the era of 'Roman Peace'." Guo Kang said without hesitation: "Instead of expecting a strong king, it is better to follow our Rome and restore order in the Mediterranean world." ”

"No matter how hard a divided kingdom tries, there is a limit. A unified Mediterranean can make everyone truly live a good life. This is the goal that ambitious people should pursue. ”

"You're far enough to go." Jeanne Jr. muttered.

"If it's not far away, what do you want to do?" Guo Kang disagreed.

Jeanne Jr. wanted to refute, but turned back to her mother for help. But at this time, in the center of the square, the Polish nobles seemed to have made their choice. One of the men scolded and demanded to be the first to go up.

Makris smiled, pointed to the table, and invited him to go up. The soldiers untied the Pole's rope and put him in the ring as well.

"What is this man excited about?" Zhu Wenkui asked curiously.

"I don't know, they're excited every day anyway." Guo Kang shook his head.

As soon as the Polish nobles came to power, they pounced on Makris. He's not small, and he looks like he's practiced martial arts all year round.

"Goliath!" The Poles finally shouted something that Guo Kang understood. He grabbed Makris by the arm viciously, stretching out his leg to restrain him.

However, Makris suddenly turned around, grabbed the other man's arm, and pulled it sideways, breaking his balance in one fell swoop. The Polish nobles tried to hold him down, trying to pull him down as well. Makris spun around and pressed him to the floor.

The Polish aristocracy struggled desperately, but Makris was clearly very skilled. He pulled the opponent's arm with one hand, pressed his big arm with the other, and pressed his knee against the opponent's waist with the force of his own downward fall.

"Hah-" Marchris yelled and threw back.

The Polish nobleman leaned back sharply, his back bent to an unusually angle. Makris let go of his hand and let him fall to the floor. He then drew a cross, stood up, and raised his hands in front of the audience.

"Good ——!" The crowd cheered.

"Is this a fall to death?" Zhu Wenkui hasn't understood it yet.

"The spine is broken." Guo Kang told him: "This is also one of the bloodless means of execution. ”

"The man still thinks he's David." Jeanne Jr. said.

"Hey, they, it's good not to think of yourself as a heavenly brother." Guo Kang disagreed.

Several black-robed servants stepped forward and touched the skin of the Polish nobles with hot irons. After testing it several times, but finding no response, he carried the body away and set it aside.

"The second one!" John Khan shouted.

Makris didn't seem to care about the wheel fight, just moved his hands and feet again, and just waited in the ring. When the second Polish nobleman came to power, he bowed to the other side in a good time.

However, this Pole was no less agitated. Instead of returning the salute, he took the opportunity to rush forward and punch out.

Ma Criss didn't dodge or dodge, reached out and grabbed his arm directly, and with a turn of his back, he directly pulled the other party up. The other hand also grabbed the opponent's waist, and the body flipped back to the side, smashing the Pole headfirst on the floor.

Makhris rolled in half a circle and stood up, while the Pole remained motionless - the force just now was too strong, and the weight of the two men plus the force of Makris's force directly broke his neck.

This time, the servants did not even test, raised the limbs of the Polish nobles and walked out of the ring. The corpse's head was directly drooped, so that the examination could be omitted.

Makris drew a cross again, asked the man next to him for a glass of water, sat down on the edge of the ring, and drank it.

"Makris! Makris! Makris! The audience chanted excitedly in unison.

"How does this Pole feel so weak?" Zhu Wenkui was a little surprised.

"In one-on-one combat, the difference in height and weight is the decisive factor." "And Makhris is a two-time champion, the best wrestler in all of Rome. Catch a random Pole, of course, it will end quickly. ”

"And then again, these Poles are not strong in the first place. Those who are really strong will either break through and run away, or they will be killed by stubborn resistance, and they will generally not be caught here. ”

Zhu Wenkui thought about it and nodded.

The envoys from various countries also watched it with relish, and Jeanna Woman ran to the front, and was scolded by Zhu Wenkui several times before going back. Guo Kang deliberately looked at Princess Ma again, wondering if she could stand this somewhat exciting scene. However, she didn't seem to have any problems, she just didn't shout and cheer, and was still watching the ceremony.

He thought about it and felt that he should be thinking too much. People have seen a lot of big scenes. This kind of activity is probably nothing.

Just as he was thinking about it, John Khan took advantage of the cheers to fall down, and shouted again: "Next!" ”

The soldiers untied the third Polish nobleman and asked him to go to the ring as well. The Poles, visibly panicked, strode forward and looked left and right.

Makris stood up from the ring and waited for him to come. The audience booed and mocked the timid fellow. The soldiers laughed too, and did not push or urge him.

However, the Polish nobleman walked halfway, suddenly turned around, shouted and rushed in the direction of John the Great Khan.

Several soldiers immediately went after him, and there was chaos on the field. But John was unmoved, turned around, turned his head, flashed the Pole's outstretched hand, and punched him in the face.

The Polish nobleman's movements were sluggish for a moment, and John kicked him away without mercy. The Pole scrambled to his feet, and John followed closely, dodging his side kick and kicking him over.

The Poles were still trying to get up, but John had already come up behind him, picked him up and threw him into the ring. While he was busy holding the platform with both hands, he grabbed his neck from behind.

The Polish nobles began to kick and dance their arms in an irregular manner, but John held him back from behind, leaving him completely unable to move. Makris and the soldiers all stopped in amusement and waited quietly.

After a while, the struggles of the Polish nobility weakened and weakened, and finally they did not move at all.

John tossed the body aside, and the servants came again with soldering irons to test it. Markris took the lead in chanting "John! John! "Lift him up with the soldiers.

"John! John! The audience also chanted excitedly.

When everyone put him down, John found that the exquisite robe, with a mouth on the side, seemed to be too big just now, and the thread was broken.

He hesitated, simply took off his robe, put on only his shirt, jumped onto the wooden platform, and beckoned to the soldiers, as if he was ready to deal with the remaining two himself.

However, at this moment, Queen Anna pushed through the crowd and strode out. She seemed unhappy with John's decision, and kept making comparisons.

In the end, John had to give in, and she pulled him off the stage and put his robe back on.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd. Makris returned to the stage and asked the remaining two Poles if they wanted to fight him.

However, the two men were so frightened that they couldn't even say a word. Makrisse shrugged and shook his head at the crowd.

"Then forget it, stop fighting." John shouted to the crowd with some regret.

The soldiers next to him cheered up, hoping that Makris would perform two more times. But Marcrius told them that wrestling with people who had no ability to resist was worthless and not worth watching. The crowd was persuaded by him, so they tied up the remaining two and threw them on the stage.

The leader of the servants whistled, and more men came with planks, and put together a disc of about the same size, and pressed it against it.

"Okay, okay, let the unpleasant things pass." John Khan clapped his hands and shouted to the audience, "Let's go ahead with the show." ”

With his order, a group of strong Greek men with five big and three thick also walked to the field.

They were bare and wore only a short apron. All of them are muscular, and they are specially smeared with olive oil, and their muscles are hard and powerful, as solid as statues from the classical era.

The brawny men climbed to the second platform, shouted in unison, and then began to swing their fists, kicks, and postures neatly. It turned out that it was a martial arts performance.

Dozens of muscular strong men stepped on top of their heads, and they jumped in unison from time to time, so that the two Polish nobles didn't even let out a few screams before they were sent into the second dimension.

At the same time, the sacrificial ceremony also officially began.

The Great Lama arranged for his assistants to carry out the statues of the Divine Ancestor, Heavenly Father, and Heavenly Brother in the hall.

"These are sinful people stained with the blood of the Romans!" The Grand Lama Wang shouted at the top of his voice: "Ask them if they are willing to atone for their sins!" ”

Dozens of captives were pushed by the soldiers and came to the huge cross. One by one, a priest asked them if they were going to pray for the end. The dozens of Poles refused to accept him, calling him a heretic, and some even spat on him.

The priest didn't care, but just waved at the Wang Grand Lama on the stage and shook his head. The king waved his dust at John.

"If you refuse to confess your sins, then atone for them with blood." John said in a deep voice.

The soldiers again moved out of the way, allowing more carts to enter the square. On those cars, there were huge wooden crosses. They tied the captives to the cross, one by one.

Many Poles did not seem to have thought of this method of execution, and they panicked one by one. Some have become incoherent, others are still struggling. But the firing squad did not care, and when they were tied, they took out spikes and hammers, and nailed them to their hands and feet.

In a short time, dozens of Polish prisoners were crucified.

This death was not rapid, and they would be displayed in the square for a week with hundreds of heads as a consolation to the gods.

The cheers of the soldiers rang out in unison, drowning out the wails of the tortured. Grand Lama Wang stepped down from the high platform and personally led his assistants to slaughter the three animals to complete the last step of the ritual of worshiping the Heavenly Father.
