Chapter 186: Chapter 3: Sentencing_1

"So what should we do? Let them go? Or keep them?" Liu Zhenhan, gazing at the beast bones chewed by the Bear Goblin bandits at the base of Red Earth Highland, sneered, "Can I afford to keep them?"

"Richard, can’t we spare them all?" Helen asked, tugging gently at Liu Zhenhan’s arm.

Immediately after Helen’s words, she got a scornful look from Avril.

"Then Helen, what should we do?" Liu Zhenhan retorted.

"......."

"They are indeed detestable! But isn’t it a bit too much to kill them all? The human kingdom’s ’Eleven Draw Law’ is centuries outdated. Beamon too is a land of law, isn’t our action a bit too barbaric? Let’s make them slaves, like Karu," Ning Yu suggested, frowning.

"What kind of hard labor can we give them? We don’t have mines, no fields, only wasteland. These slaves will only increase our own expenses!" Liu Zhenhan shook his head in disapproval.

"Can’t we give so many Bear Goblins a chance to survive?" Elder Damai Andulan couldn’t help but interrupt: "Even if they are bandits, they are still lives! And they have surrendered, an enemy who can abandon their pride is no longer an enemy! One of the main reasons why many races of the Beamon clan have gone extinct is because you Beamon treat your enemies too ruthlessly. Hence, without showing any mercy, your opponents also implement a policy of race extermination after victory. Punishing the leaders is fair enough, but is it necessary to involve so many? Besides the Grim Reaper, actions that deprive others of the right to live are wrong!"

Liu Zhenhan’s gaze met with that of the ascetic monk Damai in mid-air.

One was sharp and indifferent, the other was kind and compassionate.

Ning Yu was looking up at him.

On the ground, Guoguo was fighting with a piglet over a cigar butt that Liu Zhenhan had thrown away.

Liu Zhenhan’s gaze gradually softened.

"I did it to avenge you, you two make the decision." Liu Zhenhan was looking at Ning Yu and Avril.

The two beauties exchanged glances, feeling very embarrassed.

"Well then... I’ll give you a face, Elder," Liu Zhenhan stared at Elder Damai: "I’ll cancel the decision to bury all the Bear Goblins alive, and I’ll use the preservation of all Bear Goblin lives as a return for your kind teachings. But..."

"...although they can be spared from death, they can hardly be spared from life, I hope you can understand." Liu Zhenhan pointed to the corpses of the hedgehogs and skunks killed by the nail-headed bats.

This stingy mercy made Elder Damai reluctant to say anything more, after all, the hands of these Bear Goblin bandits were indeed stained with the blood of many hedgehogs and skunks, and the bodies at the foot of the hill clearly told everything that had happened.

Elder Damai Andulan felt terribly guilty, he felt he owed Lord Piegel a huge favor.

"Lord Richard, your generosity moves me to tears. In your territory, my monk apprentices and I will provide medical assistance to you free of charge." Damai, who was detached from the world, said this, which was equivalent to indirectly expressing his loyalty to Liu Zhenhan.

"That’s great." Liu Zhenhan nodded, laughing to himself.

Liu Zhenhan, who was worried about having no opportunity to show his iron fist rule, wouldn’t let such a good ending go. Among the hedgehogs and skunks under his command, more than twenty had been killed or injured, which Liu Zhenhan, who had only over two hundred vassal clans, had never thought of letting go of the Bear Goblin bandits.

In front of Lord Piegel’s solemn oath to the War God Kampas that "he will absolutely not kill any of them as long as they tell the truth", mutual accusations broke out among the Bear Goblins. Many Bear Goblins showed their most cowardly side in choosing between being buried alive or betraying their companions to survive. Dozens of Bear Goblins whose hands were stained with the blood of hedgehogs and skunks were quickly pointed out.

All the women and children were driven into the cave in Red Earth Highland. The monks did not know that this was a small prelude to Liu Zhenhan’s tough performance.

Helen, pulling Ning Yu and Avril, dare not look back and followed them into the Red Earth cave. They knew Richard too well, with him pacing back and forth, whatever he was thinking at this moment wouldn’t be good. Earlier in the day, on their way to the Southern Cross Star Forest, the scene of dealing with the Goblin bandits was still causing them nightmares.

Twenty or so vicious-looking, plump and strong Bear Goblins were neatly tied up with dry tree stumps and wild vines. Since they had a promise that they would not be killed, they stood there, a bit nervous but still very calm, and did not resist being tied up. After all, no Beamon would break his oath to the War God.

The thick ox-leather whip, dipped in salt water, was relentlessly cracked onto the bandit captives by the powerful Mammoth warriors. The Mammoth warriors were so robust that each whip could only be used two or three times before it was completely destroyed. Each of their lashes caused the strong bodies of the Bear Goblins to burst like flower buds, together with their worn-out leather clothes.

The beaten Bear Goblins opened their mouths wide and tilted their necks, but they could not make a sound. Sometimes that’s how it is when the pain is so intense that the vocal cords go mute.

A few monks who had not had time to leave were called back by Liu Zhenhan, and together with Witch Doctor Nochadamas, they used prayers to heal the injured Bear Goblins who were being punished.

"I won’t let them die so quickly! I promised you, elder, I won’t kill any of them!" Liu Zhenhan was now completely commanding.

Elder Damai Andulan, along with his disciples, reluctantly dispelled their thoughts of protesting in the face of his fierce gaze. At this point, the powerful Lord Richard had a strong military presence. The Green Party mantises would not challenge the powerful Mammoth warriors for a bunch of Bear Goblins, proving their compassion.

In the quiet cursing of the "violent lord, Piegel in the skin of the devil" and the rain of flesh and blood from the lashed Bear Goblins, several ascetic monks nervously executed his command.

"Haven’t you eaten snow bananas?" Liu Zhenhan sternly criticized a young mammoth warrior performing an execution, "Don’t be like a woman, I need to see blood on your whip!"

Liu Zhenhan pulled out that densely arrayed Star Steel Wolf Fang Club, and pointed it at these bear goblins who were tied up like dumplings. The rod, flickering with a gloomy blue electrical light, instantly caused a burning sensation in the bear goblins’ internal organs.

Several of the bear goblins who were electrocuted began to convulse on the spot, foaming at the mouth.

"Whatever they spew, you lick clean!" Liu Zhenhan said to the bear goblins watching around him.

A group of their fellows, faces smeared with tears of humiliation, immediately surrounded the beaten bear goblins, their large trembling tongues experiencing the torment from their taste buds to their souls to their bodies, insulting these once mighty bear goblin robbers.

Spiritual ghosts wandered on the barren land, their souls issued a hysterical call.

After finishing up the filth, the bear goblins were dragged to the bonfire, branded on the cheeks with a red-hot iron stamp signifying their slave status.

The robbers with scorched flesh didn’t dare to look at their fellows who were tied up and beaten. They all covered their faces and turned their backs.

Karu used a wooden stick to force the heads of the bear goblins who dared not look back.

"Keep looking!" Karu’s big head swung triumphantly. He was obviously imitating Gude’s way of dealing with him.

"Whip them fiercely! Let them understand why there should be fear in this world!" Liu Zhenhan waved the beehive-like club in his hand that was spitting blue sparks, his fierce eyes filled with violence and brutality.

"Yes, Sir!" Several mammoth warriors responded in unison like thunder.

The hedgehogs and skunks were all in tears as they watched the Overlord who had avenged them. Their expressions spoke of their utmost support.

A long flogging made the beaten bear goblins gradually numb. Beyond a certain threshold, the most painful stimuli would no longer trigger nerve reflexes.

"Now, for the formal sentence!" Liu Zhenhan signaled the praying monks to stop their work and said loudly, "The bear goblin robbers invaded the Feilengcui territory, causing numerous injuries and deaths to the Bimon Beastmen. The verdict is as follows----death to them all!"

"Huh?" Everyone was dumbfounded. This...this was too... The Lord had just sworn before the War God!

The eyes of several Ascetic Monks bulged even larger.

"However..." Liu Zhenhan laughed, and continued, "Due to the pleading of Elder Damai Andulan, in view of the elder’s high moral standing, the Feilengcui Overlord and Lord Baron Richard officially revoke the death sentences."

The bear goblins all took a long breath of relief.

"But, the goblin robbers stained with the fresh blood of my people, due to their heinous crimes, accepting the God of War’s always fair will, I will break their spines and banish them! Let this be a warning! The remaining bear goblins are all considered slaves." Liu Zhenhan smiled kindly at the bear goblins tied to the stakes: "Congratulations, you might have a chance to be the first customers of the Feilengcui Wheelchair Workshop."

"This..." Elder Damai sweat soaked his own spine, and a chilling breeze made him shiver uncontrollably. Is this their humane treatment? How would a spine-broken bear goblin possibly survive in the wilderness?

Elder Andulan suddenly felt that despite all these years, the man in front of him was the most heartless one he’d ever met.

Not only him, most of the people present felt their heads explode and their hairs stand on end.

"If there are any objections, you can appeal!" Liu Zhenhan spread his hands towards the stunned crowd, shrugging his shoulders and said with a laugh. "Feilengcui is not a place where one person makes all the decisions, we will adhere to the rule of law. I will listen to everyone’s opinions before making the final judgment."

"I want to appeal!" The bear goblin chief, blood-soaked all over, weakly shouted, with a voice that sounded like an old windbag coming from his torn mouth.

A series of weak voices followed, occasionally interrupted by coughing up blood.

Just as Elder Damai was about to say something, a cold sentence interrupted him.

"Sorry..." Liu Zhenhan touched his nose: "Your appeals have been reviewed and rejected."
