Release that Witch - Chapter 461

[Chapter 454 Compensation and Punishment]

Three days later, Roland delivered a speech in the theater at Longsong Fortress.

For this promotion, he asked Pei Luo to inform the people of the city of the details of the rebellion in advance, and specially asked Maggie to send a reply from Border Town.

On that day, the crowds gathered in the theater were less than he had imagined. Although it was spring, the endless snowflakes outside prevented people from going out.

Fortunately, the Second Army and their families were basically all present. It seems that the “dead soldiers will be compensated generously” that he proposed in the notice played a role.

As for other people, they can fight for it slowly in the future. Roland believes that the best publicity comes from people’s word of mouth. As long as the seeds are planted in the hearts of this group of people, it will affect more people sooner or later—this is also the case. The reason why he insisted on building the people’s army.

They are sharp knives and iron walls, and they are also role models for propaganda.

“My lord, good morning. I am Roland Wimbledon, Lord of the Western Territory. I believe most of you have already heard my name.” Roland looked around the audience. Condolences for casualties. This is a conspiracy from the royal capital. Timothy has repeatedly provoked wars in order to meddle in the order of the Western Territory. It is a pity that the four major families in the Western Territory not only did not stand on the side of the people, but acted as the opposing side. It was the thugs who led to this tragedy.” The

prince did not talk too much about the rebellion, and people prefer to inquire about these “secrets” in taverns, so it is simply After getting started, he shifted the topic to the item of compensation that everyone was more concerned about.

“During the turmoil, among the 112 soldiers of the Second Army of the Western Region, 56 were killed in action, and the rioters also set fire to looting in residential areas, causing 12 houses to be burned and 48 civilians to die.” Roland said. Said in a deep voice, “Here, I would like to express my apologies to the citizens of Longsong Fortress… As a guardian of the first realm, I failed to fulfill my responsibilities.”

The prince’s words caused a commotion among the crowd. Apparently, no one had heard that the royal family and nobles would apologize to the public. Many people felt a little shocked and stunned. Some attitude.

He does not have the unreasonable arrogance of the nobles. If he does not put the people in his eyes, the people cannot truly support those who lead them. This has been repeatedly proved by history.

“I guarantee that everyone’s blood will not be shed in vain! Not only will the fallen soldiers receive a generous burial, but their families will also receive five golden dragons as pensions, and after that, they can also receive a share of food and food from the city hall every month.” Charcoal is used as additional compensation! This standard is exactly the same as that of the First Army in the Western Territory, and I hereby promise that new citizens who join the Second Army in the future will also receive the same treatment!” There were

very few cheers, obviously most of the people in the fortress He is skeptical about the generous compensation, after all, there have been incidents of embezzlement and corruption, and even the winter relief food can be mixed with sand and leaves, let alone the golden dragon.

However, Roland has already figured out how to deal with it. Since it is publicity, it is natural to make the “topic” the best.

He clapped his hands, and Pei Luo, Iron Ax, and two First Army soldiers carrying boxes came onto the stage from behind the scenes, “I have a list of the dead in my hand at this moment, and now it will be trained by the consul of Longsong Fortress.” Luo Hermon will personally distribute the pensions to you!”

As the soldiers dumped all the golden coins in the box on the table, the people’s reactions became enthusiastic.

“Second Army, Squad 1 of the Musket Battalion, Aya!”

“Second Army, Squad 1 of the Musket Battalion, Tie Zhu!

“…”

Tie Fu slowly read out the names on the list, and the family members stepped onto the stage one by one , took the golden dragon excitedly, bowed and knelt down again, the scene was a bit chaotic for a while, Roland even felt that Nightingale had put his hand on his waist.

Fortunately, there was no accident in the end, and when the pension was finally paid out, it was almost noon.

Roland waved his arms and suppressed the noisy discussion in the theater, “And those who are homeless due to the war can also get a shelter from the wind and full rations until the end of the month of demons, Someone

will distribute it to you.”

“Then… Your Highness, what will happen after the month of demons ends?” Someone asked loudly—of course, the “asker” was created by the echo.

“At that time, the city hall will provide a lot of jobs, not only with considerable salary, but also to enjoy. As long as you are willing to work, you will never have to worry about filling your stomach!” Roland raised his right hand and said loudly, ” Xijing will never forget those who have sacrificed for her, and neither will I!”

This time, the crowd’s reaction was much more enthusiastic, and everyone raised their right hands in response to His Royal Highness’s declaration.

Amidst the cheers of the citizens, Roland ordered his subordinates to distribute meat porridge at the right time, pushing the atmosphere to the climax.

In the afternoon, there were many more people gathered in the theater. Not only were all the seats filled, but many people squatted directly on the aisle—obviously, they all came for the trial in the afternoon.

It seems that watching how prisoners are dealt with is something that the whole world, even people in different worlds, loves to see.

Roland handed over the host job to Iron Ax and Pei Luo, and he sat in the luxurious box on the second floor of the theater and became an audience.

The result of the trial had already been decided, and the prisoners were dragged onto the stage, lined up and knelt down in front of the people, and behind them stood solemn soldiers with guns.

Iron Ax declared the charges, Pelor read out the verdict, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com Then the soldiers escorted them to the execution ground—that is, the fortress square.

And when some family members of the victims see their enemies, they will rush up and fight. As long as their lives are not endangered, the First Army will not stop them—no one will pity these villains. Such a day should have been expected.

In the end, a total of 132 people were sentenced to death. There were six nobles, and the rest were mercenaries, bodyguards and domestic servants.

The execution methods are also different. Due to the limited number of gallows, only nobles can enjoy this treatment, and everyone else is executed by shooting—this is the first time that firearms have been used for execution.

Although the remaining 900 people participated in the rebellion, they did not have blood on their hands, so they were imprisoned and waited to be escorted to the North Slope Mine in batches.

So far, the aristocratic resistance in the western region has been wiped out.

The next day, Roland summoned all the innocent nobles to the castle hall.

Clearing the obstacles is just the beginning, he still has a lot of work to do if he wants to truly rule this place.

The most important thing is to establish a new order.
