Chapter 668: The King's Beginning
"Who is our friend and who is our enemy is an important question."
Lana said calmly, her eyes coldly falling on the few businessmen who were kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, as if they were swaying.
They were all representatives of the Chamber of Commerce who had previously made an agreement with the Lizardmen Group to supply them, but ended up breaking their appointment due to various reasons.
There are various reasons for their missed appointments. Some are afraid that the Tri-Clan Alliance will win and the lizardmen will be defeated, so that they cannot recover their investment;
But Yunero is not interested in their reasons!
Everyone in the world who makes mistakes can find a reason for themselves, so what?
Is it possible to find a reason, the error does not exist? Or is there a reason why mistakes can be forgiven?
fart!
Casually forgive those who made mistakes, what about the people who were harmed by their mistakes?
That's why Yunero gave this action the name "No One Forgives".
Yes, he wasn't going to forgive a single one.
Usually he is a good man, even if others offend him, he can laugh it off. But this time is different, or rather, his position is different now.
Now, he is not dealing with the problem from the standpoint of "Yunero", but from the standpoint of the "lizardmen group leader".
Because of these people, the lizard people's battle this time was much more troublesome than expected. Although the casualties were not large, it took a lot of time and cost more. And these losses must be counted on the heads of these people, and on the heads of the chambers of commerce behind them!
So he invited the representatives of these chambers of commerce, but he did not see them for the first time. Instead, he asked Lana to take them to visit the gallows that were erected as densely as a forest. A terrifying execution ground for the Orcs.
The representatives of these chambers of commerce had obviously never seen such a battle—there were a lot of fighting in the South China Sea, and murder and arson were commonplace, but such a large-scale hanging had not happened for a long, long time.
Even in the entire Western Continent, such a situation has not happened for a while.
At the time of the Norma massacre, Marquis Henry, who presided over the massacre, just let the soldiers kill all the captured Norma people, and did not engage in trials and hangings. Although the corpses were piled up like mountains, black smoke rose to the sky when they were burned, and the day was like night, but after the burning, they could not be seen. Only the blood-soaked soil on the execution ground silently complained about the crimes that had happened.
Like the "Noose Wasteland" on Longtou Island, where the gallows are erected like forests, ordinary people with short lifespans have never seen them in their entire lives.
Therefore, the representatives of the chamber of commerce panicked all of a sudden. They planned that Yune would be good at speaking. As long as he apologized and said a few soft words, they would be able to pass the test smoothly. Or they think that the lizardmen still need to do business with them after all.
But they never imagined that the lizardmen would be completely liquidated, and they wanted to pay with their lives!
So they were all frightened, all frightened, all trembling and fidgeting.
Lana specifically told the soldiers not to prepare dinner for them, and then when they were too hungry to eat dry food with cold water, Yuneruo suddenly summoned them.
In a dimly lit, gloomy hall. Outside the hall, many more soldiers were waiting.
The merchants were most sensitive to numbers. They habitually counted the number of soldiers outside the hall, and were surprised or panicked to find that there were exactly three times as many.
Two people are held on the left and right, and one person is responsible for the execution. This is the practice of hanging!
So they were even more terrified, to the point of being incapacitated.
Yunero didn't say anything and looked at them coldly.
"Your Majesty, he can tolerate others joking with him, haggling with him, and even seizing the opportunity to start with a lion... He is not unacceptable." Lana said grimly, "But after the lion opened his mouth, he broke the appointment. It can't be tolerated!"
A businessman's representative who was kneeling on the ground trembled violently and shouted, "This is a decision made by the heads of the chamber of commerce! I'm just a messenger!"
Lana turned her head to look at Yunero, who was expressionless and nodded slightly.
Lana bowed slightly, then turned back and said coldly, "Hang!"
The three soldiers rushed in immediately, grabbed the Chamber of Commerce representative who was limp like a chicken, and dragged it out like a wolf.
The screams stretched all the way into the distance, and stopped abruptly after a while.
The other chambers of commerce representatives were even more terrified, and more than one even peed their pants.
"The Chamber of Commerce behind him, we will naturally look for trouble." Lana said fiercely, "We will not treat friends badly, and we will never let go of traitors!"
The representatives of the chamber of commerce kept trembling. Of course, they felt that they could no longer be regarded as "old friends of the lizardmen", but the identity of "traitors of the alliance" was probably related.
They trembled even more when they thought that they might be like the unlucky ghost just now.
Fortunately, Yuneruo didn't really plan to kill them all.
In Shangyanshang, he was of course extremely annoyed by the betrayal of these chambers of commerce. But with the exception of the one with the most serious situation, he did not intend to use force and physical punishment for other chambers of commerce.
It is of course necessary to kill chickens to warn the monkeys. If there is not enough punishment, these greedy guys will only think that he is weak and bullying, and will play other tricks in the future. But killing chickens and warning monkeys, it is enough to have an example - for that greedy and dishonest business association, Yuneruo will use thunderbolt methods, so that these guys have only a short time to regret, and let others understand, He is a leader of a powerful force, not a good man who can be easily deceived.
As for the other chambers of commerce, he intends to use commercial means to punish them.
Commercial means, including but not limited to money. According to his plan, the compensation is only a small part of it. The main punishment is to ask the other party to train sailors for free, hand over important information, and some other content.
These will be decided through the magic contract, and perhaps the leaders of those chambers of commerce will be unwilling and will want to resist. When the time comes, Yunero doesn't mind picking up one or two more.
With the Big Fish Chamber of Commerce as his main business partner, these untrustworthy guys are already dispensable to him. It's good to be able to subdue it, but if he can't subdue it, he doesn't mind turning these chambers of commerce into food for big fish to make his allies stronger.
Looking at the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce who had completely lost their courage, and who almost did whatever Lana said, and signed the contract without resistance, Yunero smiled slightly.
In this smile, there is a power and domineering that pandas and their old friends are not familiar with.
A new king, from this moment on, can be regarded as truly embarking on the journey.
