Chapter 182: GodFather
Although Fengmo Continent appears to be a feudal monarchy, slaves are prevalent at the same time.
On the other hand, there are three main ways to produce slaves: poor families sell children and daughters, just like Lillian.
The second is the commoners, illegal slaves, demi-humans, and so on captured by adventurers in uncivilized places.
The third kind is the prisoner of war.
When a war is fought, there will often be many prisoners of war who will be bought as the winners own domestic slaves by the rich.
Just now, after being defeated and captured, the soldiers of these desert kingdoms lay on the ground thinking, [If the main army fails to save them, they may have to be slaves for the rest of their lives.]
After that battle, they all doubted whether the main army could defeat the monster Robb, so many people thought pessimistically, [Should I run, be a slave, or die?]
They had no idea that Robb would say that they could become civilians of Westwind Town after reforming through labor and even allowing them to return to their hometown. Isn't that outrageous? Theyre afraid hes lying to them.
The prisoners couldn't help looking at their general.
However, Motras state of mind is much more stable than these soldiers. He is a noble, and he is not afraid. Anyway, the kingdom and his family will pay to redeem him. He can go home anyway. There is no question of being a slave.
But seeing the eyes of his subordinates asking for help, he, as the leader, had to come out and say something at this time.
Motra coughed, "Father, don't lie to us. The people in the desert kingdom are simple. They are not as deceiving as you people.
Robb smiled and said, "I swear by my devotion to the God of Light that there is not a word of a lie in what I said.
The people of the desert kingdom were immediately overjoyed. No priest dared to swear a false oath towards the God of Light.
The people of Westwind Town nearby, !!!
The mayor of Westwind Town almost said, "this is too fake!"
Luckily he shut up quickly. Otherwise, he would have sold his ally.
Motra asked his subordinates, Then, I would like to ask how long is our reform-through-labor period?
"Well, that's a good question." Robb couldn't help thinking for a while before he looked up and said, "my Westwind Town has not yet drawn up proper laws and regulations, and most of the townspeople still follow the laws of the Kingdom of Gran. The laws of the Kingdom of Gran do not set a corresponding time limit for reform-through-labor for the seriousness of crimes, and there are only provisions for selling prisoners of war as slaves, so I have nothing to rely on in this respect for the time being. I'll judge it according to my personal judgment."
As soon as he said this, the expressions on the faces of both the prisoners of war and the townspeople were extremely wonderful, as if to say, "you are the lord, and it is up to you to decide in the first place. Is it necessary to emphasize this?"
Robb ignored their ignorant faces, and he felt that it was important for him to emphasize it because he had his own legal and moral system, which he had learned in his modern life for more than a decade, and was the greatest treasure of his life. It is because his soul comes from a world different from the natives of the world.
He must keep justice in his heart and not trample on the law easily.
Therefore, when he is able to make laws, he must understand that he has to maintain justice and cannot take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, absolute power will bring absolute corruption and turn him into a tyrant he hated the most.
He said solemnly, "Normally, arson is a capital crime. Even if you don't kill, you have to reform through labor for life. But it was because of the war that you started the fire, so the arson is not exactly the same as ordinary arson, and after you broke through Crystal Canyon, you went all the way south, almost without resistance, just a few villages and Stone Canyon, which were mostly empty. Your hands should not have been infected with many sins. In this case, I will give you a light sentence First, you will be sentenced to three years of labor, and if you behave well, your sentence can be reduced. "
The prisoners of war are all in a daze. They only have to reform through labor for three years. Oh my god, this This is really a very light punishment, so much more benevolent than being a slave all your life.
In an instant, many prisoners of war who wanted to rebel began to weigh whether or not to risk being killed.
Robb called Chief Elsie over and whispered in his ear, "the first three days are when these prisoners of war are most likely to escape and rebel. I will give blessing of the king to your group every day, and you should strictly suppress them. When their state of mind stabilizes, it will be much easier for you to manage. In addition, we should provide them with better food so that their chances of rebellion will be greatly reduced, and it will be good for them to get all the food from me. "
Chief Elsie nodded, "I understand."
Robb patted him on the shoulder, "Alright, come on, I like you."
Chief Elsie said, "Your official will not insult the expectations of my lord."
"What did you call me?"
"My lord!"
You used to call me father, but you suddenly changed my name to lord?! Robb was furious.
Chief Elsie, flattering the horse's leg, quickly changed his words and called back, "Father! Ah, Father can no longer describe your greatness. I'd like to call you GodFather. What do you think?"
Robb knows that GodFather refers to godfather (TL: GodFather in English characters.), but if understood in Chinglish, it can be understood as "Father of God." Haha, this title feels good. You scum always put "thank God" in front of me when thanking me. Great, Im directly upgraded to God's father. It is many generations higher than father.
"That's okay," he said solemnly. "well, I'll be GodFather from now on."
Chief Elsie immediately shouted, "GodFather!"
Of course, the three hundred knights next to him also hurriedly followed their boss and shouted, "GodFather!"
Seeing this, Westwind Towns mayor also hurriedly shouted, "GodFather!"
As a result, the townspeople of nearly a thousand also shouted together.
Everyone has shouted, who dares not? Number 8, the mayor of Stone Canyon and White Birch Town, the patriarch of the cat folk, also shouted, "GodFather!
Finally, all the people in Westwind town, together with the prisoners of war, had to follow obediently and shout like a tsunami.
Robb upgraded from father to Father of God
