Crusade against the Pope

Chapter 64 Kill for life

The sun has risen quite a bit. The sunlight is no longer cold, but has become warm, and will soon be scorching hot.

After putting Abdullah down, Gairis asked someone to bring a stool so that the old man could sit down and have a good rest.

Then he turned to all the people present and said, "They must give life for life, eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and all wounds shall be paid."

"Now, those criminals who have killed your relatives, raped your wives and daughters, and robbed your property are all here. As long as you can stand up and identify them, they will all receive the punishment they deserve!"

"If none of you take the initiative to stand up and identify them on the spot, then it will be regarded as you following the teachings of Allah and forgiving these evil people..."

Gailis repeated his previous words again, and this time, he saw many thoughts in the eyes of the townspeople.

They were whispering, thinking and discussing, and waiting for someone to be the first to step forward.

Gairis turned his gaze to Abdullah.

After exchanging a glance with Garys, the old man stood up on his own initiative. After carefully identifying the Eric soldiers squatting on the ground, he pointed to a guy squatting in the corner.

Taking a deep breath, Abdullah said loudly: "I, identify!"

"It was this person who broke into my clinic, and when he failed to extort money, he destroyed my medical equipment and even killed my apprentice!"

Abdullah paused, as if thinking for a moment, and then continued: "No, it's not just my apprentice, that killed my nephew--"

Abdullah's tone was full of gnashing of teeth.

As a person who has been immersed in medicine for too many years, he has never married or had children. His only relative is his sister's son.

When his sister died, he took the child with him, hoping to raise him into an adult so that he could inherit his legacy in the future.

Can……

Due to a small accident, the child actually tried to protect the bottles and jars in the clinic from the man holding the sword!
It is true that Eric only carried out an eleven-kill attack, but this does not mean that all the soldiers under his command are good guys.

Eric would give the bulk of the money he got to Reynard, and keep a small portion for himself. Among these small portions, only an even smaller portion could be distributed to the soldiers.

If the soldiers have a little ambition and want to make some money for themselves, they need to actively and proactively beg for money.

During this period, coupled with Eric's negligence, many tragedies occurred in just two days.

The death of Abdullah's apprentice, his nephew, was one of them.

Under Garys's order, the new recruits under Simon brought the man out.

Arrested before Abdullah.

Gairis asked Abdullah, "Did he really kill you and your nephew?"

Abdullah carefully identified it again and gave an affirmative answer.

Gailis came up to the man, whose hands were tied behind his back with hemp rope. When he saw Gailis approaching, his face became panicked.

"Do you admit that you killed Dr. Abdullah's nephew?"

Garys' words were calm and non-threatening, but even so, he could still feel the fear in the man's eyes.

"No, no..." The man tried to refute, but his words were stammering. Garys narrowed his eyes slightly. Since he had that extraordinary ability, the sharpness of his sixth sense has also improved a lot.

Just from the man's expression, movements, heartbeat... and other angles, Gailis was more or less certain that the man was lying.

Of course, this is not enough for him to make a direct judgment.

So, Gellis turned to the townspeople and asked, "Do any of you have any evidence that he really killed Dr. Abdullah's nephew?"

The question was still asked in a very calm tone, and the townspeople only whispered, and no one took the initiative to stand up and testify for Abdullah's identification.

The reason for this is more likely that when the soldier was killing people, there were no other townspeople present except Abdullah.

Although he had already made up his mind, Gaillis still asked the prisoners squatting on the ground again: "Can anyone vouch for him and testify that this man did not kill anyone?"

The prisoners squatting on the ground looked at each other and whispered to each other. No one stood up to prove that the man had not killed anyone.

Gailis looked at the man who was escorted out again, his eyes rather cold.

Sensing the change in Garys's eyes, the man became anxious: "Lord Garys! I, I didn't kill anyone! I was just following the orders of Lord Reynard!"

He is still lying... This person cannot control his facial expression well. To put it simply, he is not shrewd enough.

When Gellis pulled out the long sword from the waist of a nearby soldier, the captured soldier twisted his body and tried to struggle, but his hands were tied, making his struggle meaningless.

The sword was placed on the man's neck.

As he begged for mercy, Garys cut open the man's blood vessels and then cut off his neck, causing his terrified head to roll to the ground.

Everything is casual and natural.

Garys just asked a few simple questions, and after confirming that the man had committed murder, he ordered him to pay with his life.

It is precisely this sense of rightness that makes the people around, especially the townspeople, feel incredible.

It was as if they had never taken the principle of life for life seriously before...and now that they encountered it for the first time, they were a little surprised.

Without paying attention to the head or the body, Gailis grabbed the bloody sword, turned around and asked the townspeople again: "Is there anyone who wants to stand up and identify the criminal?"

The calm voice spread in the silent scene, and everyone knew that Gailis was not joking when they saw the bloody sword.

This guy is serious... He is serious about asking people to pay for their crimes...

For a time, some townspeople were ready to make a move, and the way they looked at Garys was no longer the simple blind obedience as before, but had some different colors.

However, before those people came forward to accuse, it was Khalid who seized the opportunity and jumped out immediately.

"My Lord! Prophet! I identify him! I testify that it was that guy who killed the mayor of our Alhadi town!"

Looking in the direction Khalid pointed, I found that he was referring to another person next to the attendant Jos.

When he was escorted out by Simon, he looked panicked and started shouting loudly.

"Let me go! I have made contributions to the kingdom and shed blood for your majesty. You can't do this. I want to see Her Highness Isabella! I want to see Her Highness Isabella!"
