Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 75 Execution
  The search for the independence faction lasted for a whole week, during which about 400 people were executed and more than 1,000 people were thrown into prison. Most of them will be exiled to desert islands to perform hard labor until they are tortured to death.

During this week, the entire New Xia Ke city fell into the white terror set off by Purficott, and everyone was worried that they would be the next person to be hanged.

Massive raids and executions without trial constituted the main theme of New Xia Ke City during this week.

If the garrison hadn't directly blocked the city's traffic, many people would have wanted to flee the city immediately.

However, even so, some people still tried to escape from the city secretly, and most of them were killed directly after being caught. Those who were not killed on the spot were hung from street lamps.

Because there were too many people killed, the lampposts on the pier were not enough, so they could only be hung on other street lamps in the city.

This made the entire Xinshak City look as scary as a ghost. There were corpses hanging on both sides of the road, and there was not even a shadow of a ghost on the originally bustling and lively streets.

Not that no one tried to resist. Some local gangs and independent factions gathered a team of hundreds of people to try to forcibly confront Perficott, and even tried to take this opportunity to directly launch an uprising.

Their plan can be said to be highly feasible, especially since they incited a local infantry battalion garrisoned in New Shaker City, giving them a numerical advantage.

However, when they reached a position only two blocks away from the dock, the old butler wearing Steam Knight armor taught them a lesson.

The old butler who was single-handedly did not use the expensive automatic sniper rifle. After all, one bullet was worth much more than the heads of these militants. He did not want to waste Perfectcott's wealth.

So the old butler was only equipped with a chain sword, a blunderbuss and a shield borrowed from other knights.

With the support of the Steam Knight Armor, the old housekeeper brandished his gun and single-handedly killed the armed men who came to attack the dock, suppressing this so-called "uprising".

The whole street was covered with broken corpses, and blood even penetrated a foot deep under the road surface, which caused huge trouble for the clean-up work afterwards.

At that moment, the people of the New World finally understood clearly why the empire was able to occupy so many colonies.

And most importantly, how terrifying the Steam Knight is on the battlefield.

A steam knight defeated an armed group equivalent to an infantry regiment. Even if the old butler himself was a knight of honor, this seemed a bit outrageous.

You must know that the so-called blunderbuss is just a modification of the traditional lance made by the Empire after gunpowder became popular, adding a barrel to it that can fire a preloaded round of ammunition.

Although this modification can indeed play a certain role in combat, the disadvantage of being able to fire only one round of preloaded ammunition still makes this weapon not as good as imagined.

After all, the technology of bullets is not yet developed, and the blunderbuss can only be loaded with one bullet at a time, which means that the knight can only fire one bullet at most during a charge.

To the old butler Foster, this thing is just a weapon similar to a lance.

When he followed old Baron Brandlis into the battlefield, the knights of the empire had not yet changed into this uniform. However, generally speaking, there is not much difference between a blunderbuss and a traditional lance, and it can kill people even if you hold it in your hand.

With just one blunderbuss, he defeated an army of militants equivalent to an infantry regiment. According to subsequent statistics, more than a hundred people were torn to pieces in the short battle. Even though Foster himself was a knight of the Order, it still seemed too exaggerated. .

This also made everyone realize what changes the steam knight can bring to the battlefield, which can almost rewrite the form of future wars.

So when the relevant information was sent back to the mainland via telegram, the military directly supported Perficott one-sidedly. They even planned to form an expeditionary force from the mainland to go to the New World to directly eliminate all the independent factions.

Of course, the most important thing is to protect the steam knight factory that Purficott is preparing to set up in the New World.

The top brass of the military department can understand why Purficott placed the Steam Knight Factory in the New World, and even if the biggest reason behind it is not considered, placing the factory in the New World can effectively isolate it from prying eyes from other countries.

Although judging from the current situation, even if other countries knew that the Victoria Empire had created the Steam Knight, it would be difficult for them to come up with any effective response strategies before the doomsday disaster strikes.

Even if they stole the blueprint, it would be difficult to copy it within three years.

Therefore, the military did not object to the establishment of the Steam Knight Factory in the New World. They just hoped that sufficient military force could be sent to protect the factory and ensure that the empire's next plan progressed smoothly.

However, these had nothing to do with Purficott for the time being. After receiving the news from the mainland, Purficott stopped killing and walked out of the White Jewel again after a week.

Her face was no longer as pale as before, at least she had become accustomed to the smell of blood, although the corpses on the dock had begun to rot and emitted an unpleasant stench.

But in order to better deter those people with ulterior motives, Purficott still came to the dock.

At this time, there are still a group of prisoners related to the independence faction on the dock waiting for execution, but at this moment, Perfectcott wants to use a more shocking way to deal with them, leaving a deep enough impression on everyone .

"Tie them to the stakes." Purficott looked at these independents who were full of hostility and hatred towards her, and ordered in a cold tone.

On the pier, the heads of the executed independents had been piled into a hill, and a circle of wooden stakes had been inserted around it according to Purficott's prior instructions.

"Executioner!" "You devil!" "Vicious woman! You must die a good death!" All kinds of ugly curses came from the mouths of the people who were tied to the stakes. They were cursing Purfe in vicious words. Kotter.

However, Purficott did not order anyone to gag them or react in any other way. He just looked at everyone very seriously and stared into their eyes.

"I remember my grandpa said that when you want to kill someone with your own hands, you must look into his eyes to make sure that you have made the right decision and will not regret it." Purficott said, The face of the old housekeeper beside her suddenly showed a look of surprise.

After saying that, Purficott put his cane on the ground.
