Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 203 Two-dimensional Sacrifice
Facing the ruling of the Great Khan, although the audience felt a little regretful, they still accepted it.

"What kind of habit is this?" Zhu Wenkui was curious.

"Sain Khan is Batu." Guo Kang said, "This word means kindness, and it is the honorary title given to him by his subordinates."

"Batu captured some princes of Ross back then. According to the tradition, the nobles should be honored and not allowed to bleed when they die. So Batu stuffed them under the floor of the tent, and then everyone held a banquet in the tent. etc. After the banquet is over, the Ross people will all become Two-dimensional."

"Two, two what?" Zhu Wenkui asked strangely.

"It means squashed," Guo Kang said.

"How much brains did the Mongols put into inventing a bloodless execution method?" Little Rangna complained, "It feels like they can come up with new tricks every day..."

"I don't know." Guo Kang said that he didn't understand: "But as long as the goal is achieved, it will be fine."

"It's better to give them a good time." Little Rangna shook her head and said, "I don't know how this is kind."

"Being kind or not is a comparison." Guo Kang pointed out: "Compared with these lords in Eastern Europe, it is too simple to think about being kind."

Several other people heard their conversation and turned to listen curiously.Guo Kang then explained.

"When the Mongols went south for the first time, they looted and burned everywhere as before. As a result, they encountered fierce resistance in the Kingdom of Jin, and it was almost difficult to gain a foothold. Later, Mu Huali was appointed as the 'King' and overturned the previous policy. Started to appease the localities, recruited Hanchens, gathered refugees and farmed fields." He told everyone: "But even so, there are still some people who can't stand the tyranny of the Mongols and are resolutely resisting. Some Uighurs and party members even went to the Southern Song Dynasty to try to use there help against Mongolia."

"The places where the Mongols killed the most were in Central Asia and West Asia. But there, there was no such obvious resistance. On the contrary, when Zalandin, the prince of Khorezm, confronted the Mongols, the local lords even wanted to Invite the Mongols to destroy him."

"We are in Syria, and we get along well with the locals. Because the Tianfang community over there has a tradition of alliance with the God-worshiping princes. This habit first started when they formed a coalition to defend against the Khwarizm people. Yes." Guo Kang shrugged: "Think about it, what a psychological shadow this is."

"Is that an exaggeration?" Zhu Wenkui said in surprise, "I thought there would be chaos in the Central Plains in 200 years, and that would be bad enough."

"You should say that between these two chaos, the people of the Central Plains can still have a large-scale peace period of 200 years." Guo Kang shook his head: "Look at us, the war and killing never stop."

"Uh, this is really..." Zhu Wenkui and little Rangna looked at each other.

"The lack of authority in European countries all the year round is the source of the chaos." Princess Jeanne suddenly interrupted and commented: "When the Capet family ruled, the country has always been peaceful and the national power has developed rapidly. Later, the family died out and the new king Insufficient authority, and gradually fell into chaos from then on, and finally turned into the current situation of war. I don’t know if we can refer to the experience of the Seris people to restore order to the country.”

"The last time the Mediterranean world was comparable to the Central Plains was the era of 'Roman Peace'." Guo Kang said without hesitation: "Instead of expecting a strong king, it is better to follow us in Rome and restore the order of the Mediterranean world."

"No matter how hard a divided kingdom works, there is an upper limit. Only a unified Mediterranean can make everyone live a better life. This is the goal that those with great ambitions should pursue."

"Your goal is really far enough." Little Rangna muttered.

"If it's not far away, what do you want the target to do?" Guo Kang disagreed.

Little Jeanna wanted to refute, but turned around and asked her mother for help.But at this time, in the middle of the square, those Polish nobles seemed to have made their choice.Someone cursed and demanded to be the first one.

Marcus smiled, pointed to the platform, and invited him to go up.The soldiers untied the Pole and let him into the ring too.

"Why is this person so excited?" Zhu Wenkui asked curiously.

"I don't know, they are very excited every day anyway." Guo Kang shook his head.

As soon as the Polish nobles came to power, they rushed towards Marcus.He was not small in stature, and he seemed to have practiced fighting all the year round.

"Goliath!" The Poles finally shouted something that Guo Kang could understand.He grabbed Marcus' arm viciously, and stretched out his legs to pin him.

However, Marcus suddenly turned around, grabbed the opponent's arm, and pulled him sideways, breaking his balance in one fell swoop.The Polish noblemen grabbed him hard, trying to pull him down too.Marcus turned around sharply and pushed him to the floor.

The Polish nobles struggled desperately, but Markis was clearly very skilled.He pulled back the opponent's arm with one hand, pressed his big arm with the other, and used his knees to support the opponent's waist with the strength of his fall.

"Ha—" Marcus yelled, and broke back.

The Polish nobleman suddenly fell back, his back bent at an abnormal angle.Marcus let go, letting him fall to the floor.Then, he made the sign of the cross, stood up, and raised his hands to signal to the audience.

"Okay!" The crowd cheered loudly.

"Did he fall to his death?" Zhu Wenkui still didn't understand.

"The spine is broken." Guo Kang told him: "This is also one of the methods of execution without bloodshed."

"That man still thinks he is David," said little Jeanne.

"Hey, they, it's not bad if they don't think they are Brother Tian." Guo Kang disagreed.

Several servants in black robes stepped forward and touched the Polish nobleman's skin with hot irons.I tested it several times and found that there was no response, so I carried the body away and put it aside.

"Second!" John Khan shouted.

Marcus didn't seem to care about the wheel battle, but just moved his hands and feet again and waited on the ring.When the second Polish aristocrat came to power, he still had time to bow to the other party.

The Pole, however, was equally agitated.He didn't return the salute, but took this opportunity to rush forward and punched out.

Marcus didn't dodge, stretched out his hand and directly grabbed his arm, turned his back, and pulled him up directly.The other hand also took advantage of the opportunity to grab the opponent's waist, turned his body back sideways, and smashed the Polish head down on the floor.

Marcus rolled half a circle and stood up, while the Polish didn't move - the force just now was too strong, the weight of the two people plus the force of Marcus directly broke his neck.

This time, without even a test, the servants lifted the limbs of the Polish nobleman and walked down the ring.The head of the corpse drooped directly, so that the inspection could be omitted.

Marcus crossed himself again, asked the person next to him for a glass of water, sat by the ring, and drank.

"Marcus! Marques! Marques!" the audience shouted excitedly in unison.

"Why does this Pole feel so weak?" Zhu Wenkui was a little surprised.

"When fighting one-on-one, the difference in height and weight is the decisive factor." Guo Kang said: "And Marcus is a two-time champion and the best wrestler in Rome. Just grab a Pole, of course it will end very soon." quick."

"And having said that, these Poles were not strong in the first place. Those who were really strong either broke through and escaped, or were killed in a corner, and generally they would not be caught here."

Zhu Wenkui thought for a while and nodded.

The envoys from all over the world also watched with relish, and the heroine Ranna ran to the front, and was reprimanded several times by Zhu Wenkui before returning.Guo Kang took a special look at Princess Ma again, wondering if she could bear this somewhat exciting scene.But she didn't seem to have any problems, but she didn't follow the shouting and cheering, and she was still watching the ceremony.

He thought about it, and felt that he should worry too much.People have also seen many big scenes.This kind of activity is probably nothing.

Just thinking about it, John Khan took advantage of the low cheers and shouted again: "Next!"

The soldiers untied the third Polish nobleman and let him also go to the ring.The Poles were obviously panicked, walking forward in small steps while looking left and right.

Marcus stood up from the edge of the ring, waiting for him to come.The audience booed and taunted the coward.The soldiers also laughed and did not push or urge him.

However, halfway through the Polish nobleman, he suddenly turned around and rushed towards John the Great Khan, shouting.

Several soldiers immediately chased him, and the field was chaotic for a while.But John was unmoved. He turned around, turned his head and passed the hand extended by the Polish man, and punched him in the face.

The movement of the Polish nobleman was delayed for a moment, and John kicked him away without mercy.The Pole hurriedly got up from the ground, John followed closely, dodged his side kick, and kicked him over with another kick.

The Pole still wanted to get up, but John had already come behind him, picked him up and threw him to the side of the ring.While he was busy supporting the table with both hands, he grabbed his neck from behind.

The Polish nobleman started kicking his legs and flailing his arms randomly, but John held him firmly from behind, completely immobilizing him.Marcus and the soldiers stopped beside him tactfully, waiting quietly.

After a while, the struggle of the Polish nobleman became weaker and weaker, and finally did not move at all.

John put the body aside, and the servants came to test again with the branding iron.Markis took the lead chanting "John! John!" and joined the soldiers to lift him up.

"John! John!" The audience also shouted excitedly.

After everyone put him down, John realized that the exquisite robe was open on the side. It seemed that the thread was broken because of too much movement just now.

He hesitated for a moment, then simply took off his robe, only wearing his shirt, jumped onto the wooden platform, and greeted the soldiers, as if he was going to personally deal with the remaining two people.

However, at this moment, Queen Anna pushed aside the crowd and strode out.She seemed dissatisfied with John's decision and kept gesticulating.

Finally, John had to give in, and she pulled him off the stage and put his robe back on.

There was a burst of laughter from the crowd.Marcus returned to the stage and asked the remaining two Poles if they wanted to wrestle with him.

However, the two were so frightened that they couldn't even speak a word.Marcus shrugged, turned his head and shook his head at everyone.

"Forget it, don't fight." John shouted to everyone with some regret.

The soldiers next to him booed, hoping that Marcus would perform twice more.But Marcus told them that wrestling with someone who has no ability to resist is of no value, and it is not worth watching.The crowd was persuaded by him, so they tied up the remaining two and threw them on the stage.

The leader of the servants blew his whistle, and more people rushed over carrying wooden planks, which were assembled into a disc of similar size and pressed on it.

"Okay, okay, let the unpleasant things pass." John Khan clapped his hands and shouted to the audience: "Let's continue the performance."

Following his order, a group of tall and thick Greek men also came to the field.

They were naked from the waist up, wearing only a short apron.All of them are well-built, muscular, and specially smeared with olive oil. The outlines of their muscles are tough and powerful, as solid as statues in the classical era.

The strong men boarded the second platform, shouted in unison, and then began to punch, kick, and pose neatly.It turned out that it was a martial arts performance.

Dozens of strong and muscular men stepped on top of their heads and jumped up and down from time to time, making the two Polish nobles not even utter a few screams before being sent to Two-dimensional.

At the same time, the sacrificial ceremony officially began.

Lama Wang arranged for his assistants to carry out the statues of the god ancestor, heavenly father, and heavenly brother from the hall.

"These people are all guilty people stained with the blood of the Romans!" Da Lama Wang shouted loudly: "Ask them if they are willing to atone for their sins!"

Dozens of captives were pushed and shoved by the soldiers before they came to the huge cross.A priest asked them one by one if they were going to say the last prayers.The dozens of Poles refused to accept it, yelling at him as a heretic, and some even spat at him.

The priest didn't care, he just waved to Lama Wang on the stage and shook his head.Lama Wang waved his whisk at John.

"If you refuse to plead guilty, then let's atone with blood." John said in a deep voice.

The soldiers moved out of the way again to allow more carts to enter the square.On those cars, huge wooden crosses were erected.They tied the captives one by one to a cross.

Many Poles didn't seem to have thought of this method of execution, and they panicked.Some are already incoherent, while others are still struggling.But the firing squad didn't care, tied them up, took out spikes and hammers, and nailed them on their hands and feet.

Before long, dozens of Polish prisoners were crucified.

This kind of death is not quick, and they will be displayed in the square for a week together with hundreds of heads as a consolation to the gods.

The cheers of the soldiers rang out, drowning out the wailing of the tortured.Lama Wang stepped down from the high platform and personally led his assistants to slaughter three animals to complete the last step of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the Heavenly Father.
