"Vera, Ross pass the word, order all the soldiers to gather, and invite the people around to come to the city center." Lin Fenghan looked at the people with different expressions, shook his head, and said seriously.
"What's the matter, Baron?" Coland asked doubtfully.
Lin Fenghan nodded solemnly and said: "It's a very important matter, you all are here."
"Noni, Noam, gather together all the soldiers who violated military disciplines that the military prosecutor saw today. I have to do something very important."
"Yes!" Noni and Norm looked at each other nervously and walked outside.
Old General Platt followed Lin Fenghan out with a frown, and asked in confusion: "Baron, have you decided to rectify military discipline?"
"Yes, I decided to punish those soldiers who violated discipline and violated the people."
Knight Commander Colander raised his hand slightly and said softly: "Baron, you must think carefully! Now we have agreed to the war, and we cannot punish them too seriously, otherwise the loyalty of the soldiers will be compromised in future battles. It will waver. If the punishment is too severe, then morale will be weakened and soldiers will flee, and then we will be in tragedy."
Lin Fenghan turned around and stared at everyone, and said seriously: "Don't worry! I have my own sense of proportion."
After a pause, Lin Fenghan stayed where he was, looking at the bustling Waterdeep City, and sighed: "Before I came to Deepwater City, I decided to attack this place and plunder the supplies before leaving."
"But now, I have changed my mind."
"Waterdeep City is a large coastal city with strong defenses and covers an area of ??nearly fifteen square kilometers. The city and surrounding areas have a population of forty to fifty thousand, which is much more prosperous than our Elante Islands."
"This place is located in a plain, with dense rivers and rich products. There are plenty of food and soldiers."
"I decided to occupy this city and fight a defensive war, defend the city, and then attack down the Senwei Mountains, trying to occupy the Senwei Mountains during the winter and develop our strength."
"We will rely on Waterdeep City as a stronghold to occupy the eastern southern continent next spring and summer. Before that, I must resolve the issue of military discipline, otherwise we will not be able to gain the support of the people and will fail in the next war."
¡¡
Lin Fenghan stood on the high platform with his eyes closed, looking up and thinking about the next strategy.
"Baron, most of our troops in the city have gathered. More than 6,000 people have gathered here, and most of the people in Waterdeep City are also sitting on the roof, watching us." Vera knocked on the armor and gently reminded Lin Fenghan.
"Yes! I understand." Lin Fenghan slowly opened his eyes, walked slowly to the center of the high platform, and gently stretched out his hands. The guards around him shouted to be quiet, and the noisy square slowly calmed down.
"Brothers of Elante! People of Waterdeep! I am Yi Liuyun, Lord of the Elante Islands. It is my great fortune to meet you here today."
¡°In the morning battle, we defeated Baron Bratt of the Brandt family, and we achieved a great victory.¡±
"oh!"
"oh!"
"oh!"
¡¡
The soldiers of Elantra stretched out their hands and shouted.
Lin Fenghan smiled faintly, stretched out his hand to lower his voice, and continued: "My father was murdered by Duke Brant. I came here to seek justice."
"However, there is a small group of bastards here. They ignore my orders and Elant's military discipline, and arbitrarily rob citizens of their wealth, molest women, create chaos, and destroy harmony."
"Come here, bring all these scumbags." Lin Fenghan clapped his hands and looked down with a cold face.
"Walk!"
"hurry up!"
Rows of guards veterans and military prosecutors brought more than thirty dirty Elante Army soldiers and auxiliary militiamen into the center of the square.
Lin Fenghan pointed at the more than thirty people and said disappointedly: "After being observed by the military prosecutor and warned by their colleagues, these more than thirty people still go their own way and seize the citizens' wealth. For those citizens who were robbed by soldiers today and lost their finances, , I sincerely apologize."
Lin Fenghan bent down at 90 degrees to salute the citizens, and then said sincerely: "At the same time, I will make a promise here. I will compensate you for the three times the value of your lost wealth."
"What?"
"This lord of Elante actually punished his army for such a trivial matter."
"Yes! It's incredible. And we have to compensate us three times the money we lost."
¡°I think he must be putting on a show.¡±
"I'm also surprised. I've never heard of nobles punishing soldiers for snatching property during war. You know, Baron Bratt's group of scumbag soldiers blatantly extort money during peacetime."
"Yeah! In comparison, Elant's army is much more civilized, and only a small number of people extort property."
¡¡
The citizens of Waterdeep City commented in shock.
Lin Fenghan slowly stretched out his left hand and shouted: "Come here, beat the people below to ten boards."
"yes!"
The military prosecutor and the Guardsmen pressed the hapless soldiers down hard and pulled down their pants amidst the sounds of protest.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
¡¡
"ah!"
"It hurts me to death."
"Baron, stop fighting. I know it's wrong. Isn't that okay?"
"Woo! I will definitely not rob you next time."
¡¡
Thirty heavy planks of wood hit the buttocks of these soldiers hard. Amidst a series of snapping sounds, bursts of screams came from the city center.
The nearby Elante soldiers and citizens of Waterdeep City looked at the screaming soldiers and their bloody butts, and they felt chills in their hearts.
"It really hit me."
"yes!"
"Such a heavy board! When I was a child, my father hit me with a board several times. I had to sleep on my stomach for three days, otherwise the pain would be too much and I couldn't sleep!"
"Yes! I think these soldiers must be miserable. It will be difficult to recover without a week."
"By the way, Baron Yiliuyun may be a good man. I heard that he released all the slaves and servants in the city lord's palace, and declared that all slaves and servants in his power are free."
"Don't listen to the lies of those spies from Elantra. They definitely want to paralyze us, just like these soldiers. Although the screams are miserable, who can be sure that the beatings they made really hurt? Maybe this is an act."
¡¡
The citizens of Deepwater City were discussing fiercely.
Lin Fenghan clapped his hands and signaled the guards below to take more than thirty people away. More than ten people were pressed into the city center by military prosecutors.
Lin Fenghan faced the crowd, pointed at the dozen or so people below and said: "The next few are the scumbag soldiers who still harass women. Although their actions were unsuccessful, they brought a certain impact on our image. It will have a huge impact. Each of the three people below will have twenty large tablets, and they will be executed immediately."
"yes!"
The military prosecutor and the guards shouted loudly, suppressed more than ten rogue soldiers, and started fighting.
"ah!"
"Wow!"
"ah!"
¡¡
It was even more tragic than before, and long and painful screams kept coming out. At this time, both the Elante soldiers and the citizens of Deepwater City changed their expressions. They looked at Lin Fenghan in awe, knowing that he was not just showing off, but was really showing his true feelings.
Lin Fenghan clapped his hands to himself, and the military prosecutor carried away the group of people who could not stand up. Two more people were dragged in, but their limbs were tied to the gallows and they were dragged into the city center by a carriage.
"Ah! Baron, I know I was wrong. I will never do this again in the future. Please let me go!"
"Baron, please! I don't want to die!"
"I was also helpless. I always stayed in the military camp and never saw a woman. I finally came out this time, but my body couldn't bear it, so"
The two of them screamed for mercy and explained their actions. The Elante soldiers looked at the miserable two people, and suddenly they became commotion, and they all talked uneasily.
Guardsman Ross couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart, and said softly to Lin Fenghan: "Baron, please think carefully! After all, these people have been in the military camp for so long, and they harass women for a reason."
"yes!"
"Yeah! Agreed."
The guards paved the way, and Naluo nodded and begged.
Lin Fenghan looked at the sympathetic people indifferently and said seriously: "I understand their pain, but Elantra has not banned brothels. They can legally use their thousands, or they can solve their own problems willingly. . But forcing her to behave like this is something I cannot forgive."
ForestFeng Han raised his hands solemnly and shouted loudly: "These two people are fishermen from the small islands around the Elante Islands. Occasionally, they also work part-time as pirates. They did not change their habits after joining the Elante army in time, and they still went their own way. Forcing her is something I cannot forgive."
"I will never be polite to these scumbags. In order that the people of Waterdeep City and the people of other areas in the future will not be harmed by these gangsters, I decided to end their lives."
"What else do you two have to say to me and everyone else?" Lin Fenghan looked at the two of them and said coldly.
"Yes, I have!"
In his forties, the soldier who was a pirate and fisherman looked up at Lin Fenghan with a sneer and cursed: "Yi Liuyun, if I fuck your sister, your whole family will die. Aren't I just playing with a woman? Why bother?" You have to kill me. I have played with a lot of women before, and there are many forces involved. I have never met a boss as stupid as you."
"I am deeply ashamed of you, go to hell with you."
¡¡
Lin Fenghan waved his hands with an ashen complexion and said calmly: "Execution immediately."
"yes!"
Sensing Lin Fenghan¡¯s mood, the executioner quickly pulled down the wooden plank. In an instant, the pirate soldier¡¯s neck tightened and his limbs began to dance rapidly. It took more than thirty meters to relax, and he was completely lifeless.
At this time, the square was very calm. Everyone, including the citizens of Deepwater City 700 meters away, were too nervous to make a sound and looked closely at the center of the square.
"Young man, how old are you? What else do you have to say?" Lin Fenghan looked at the thin and short soldier who was left and asked in surprise.
"Woo! Baron, I'm fifteen years old!"
"I know I was wrong. He taught me all this. I don't want to die."
¡¡
The young soldier with short brown hair, brown eyes and a thin figure cried and said: "Baron Yiliuyun, I know that I should not disobey your order. I should not violate that girl. I was indeed wrong."
"I am willing to pay the price for my mistakes. Please compensate me with this month's salary to that very young girl of the same age as me."
"Please tell my mother and father that I am sorry for them." After saying that, the young soldier closed his eyes in despair. Next to him, the execution military prosecutor was slowly pulling down the wooden plank that held the fulcrum.
Lin Fenghan¡¯s eyes flashed with softness, he gently raised his hand and said seriously:
"What's your name, young man?"
"My name is Romus, and I am a resident of the poor island of Avar."
"Romus, I'm glad that you can recognize your mistakes and are willing to pay compensation for them. If you go out to fight or attack a city next time, will you still violate women and seize the wealth of innocent people?"
"Baron Yiliuyun, I swear I will never do this again." Romus swore excitedly.
"Very good! As the lord of the Elante Islands, I forgive your sins. I have more than a hundred gold coins here. Take it with you to apologize to the girl and her family. I hope you will never forget today's oath in the future. .¡±
"At the same time, I also want to send you, the soldiers of the Elantra army, my most severe warning."
"If something happens next time that you seize innocent people's wealth for no reason or molest a woman, you will receive the most severe punishment from Elantra. These words will always be effective. I hope you can keep them in mind and always remember them." Lin Fenghan read. He issued the sternest warning to the nervous and cold-looking people in the square.
