Chapter 806: Chapter 806: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey Chapter 806: Chapter 806: Killing the Chicken to Scare the Monkey Greg Jensen understood that most of these civilians were ignorant, easily spreading rumors as soon as they heard them.
Therefore, he couldn’t jump to conclusions without seeing the actual situation for himself.
The people Oscar Jones executed might not necessarily be the few warlords who followed him!
In other words, since this bastard had already colluded with the Dark Golden Triangle and the research on plants with Special Abilities had shown results,
he wouldn’t simply kill the Superpowered People like the foxes; he would definitely keep them to make full use of them!
As they pondered, the two quickly followed the main force, shuttling through the towns and soon arrived at the outskirts of the military camp at the foot of Snow Peak.
They saw more than seventy people gathered around, with nurous rcenaries ard with guns maintaining order, drawing a cordon that kept everyone more than ten ters away from the military camp.
“Wow, guys, look, there are really a lot of people from Dragon King’s Palace who were executed!”
“The deaths are really grueso, either arms and legs have been broken or bellies slashed open!”
“What can you do? If there’s anyone to bla, it’s only Dragon King’s Palace for giving Bright Church an opportunity!”
“Alas, don’t ntion it, back when Dragon King’s Palace controlled the eight countries in Southeast, people could still eat their fill, but now…”
“Shush! Are you crazy, daring to say such things? Aren’t you afraid that soone will hear you and hang you up there too!?”
“Wasn’t it said that the warlords who once followed the Dragon King were also executed? Why don’t I see them?”
“Could it be that they are among the bodies hanging above us?”
“…”
Whispered discussions rose and fell.
Greg Jensen and Black Wolf, hiding in the crowd, heard everything clearly.
They looked instinctively and saw rows of grueso bodies hanging from stakes over five ters tall, most dressed in the attire of Dragon King’s Palace.
But no matter how they looked, they couldn’t see any familiar figures.
“You lowlifes, take a good look!”
At that mont, a bear-like soldier appeared in front of the crowd, speaking in a rough accent, gesticulating to the crowd:
“All of these are remnants from Dragon King’s Palace. They refused to obey orders, unwilling to surrender to our Lord Oscar Jones, so they had to be executed!
Similarly, you lowlifes are no different. If there’s any of you who dares to disobey, hmph, just wait to be buried with the people of Dragon King’s Palace!”
As he spoke, his eyes sharply swept across each individual, a killer aura seeping out from him, causing all the civilians present to dare not stand, instead kneeling on the ground, prostrating themselves.
Greg Jensen and Black Wolf had no choice but to lower their bodies, pretending to blend in with the crowd.
The military man seed to enjoy the feeling of being worshipped and suddenly waved his hand, barking, “Bring up the bodies!”
Two brawny n quickly dragged a corpse out of the military camp and dumped it in front of the crowd like trash.
The body had already been ripped open, covered in a sticky green sli, with half of the skull cleaved off, exposing the white brain matter inside.
Additionally, the legs of the deceased bore multiple holes, showing marks of being blasted open by gunpowder.
The crowd drew a sharp breath altogether, unable to bear the sight.
They all thought, who is this? Others at most got a bullet in the head, or drained of blood; how co this person was tortured so horribly before death?
“Aiden Clark!!”
Among the crowd, Black Wolf clearly saw that half face and imdiately cursed through clenched teeth, recognizing the identity of the corpse, wishing he could rush out and snatch the body back right then and there.
Luckily, Greg Jensen was beside him, his face grim, tightly holding him back, repeating in his mouth:
“Calm down, I need you to be calm! Now is not the ti to act! He has sacrificed himself, but there are many more brothers waiting for us to save them!”
He was very confident he could deal with these people in front of him, but what about after that?
Once they exposed their whereabouts, Oscar Jones would definitely choose to fight to the bitter end, knowing he couldn’t defeat them, and by that ti, the casualties would be even greater!
“Hahaha… I bet none of you recognize him, so let introduce him to you. This guy is one of the fierce generals that followed the Dragon King, the Boar Leader!”
Right then, the General walked over to the Boar’s corpse, stepped on it, and spoke to the people proudly:
“Oscar Jones is a man of compassion and values talent, he was willing to spare this guy’s life as long as he surrendered, and even restore his original position!
But unfortunately, this idiot preferred death over compliance, insisted on opposing us, and blabbered before his demise that their Dragon King would return and would have our Oscar Jones quartered…”
What crap! As if the Dragon King’s Palace’s trash deserves to battle with us? Let make it clear for all of you, the Dragon King’s Palace’s fierce generals have all died by our hands, anyone who dares to continue opposing us, I promise their end will be even worse!
Right, starting now, anyone who reports the whereabouts of Dragon King’s Palace’s remnants to our military, will be rewarded with one hundred thousand after we catch them! Anyone who brings the head of soone from Dragon King’s Palace will be rewarded one million US dollars!”
Upon these words, everyone at the scene exchanged looks, truly witnessing the strength of the Bright Church.
If there was any discontent among them, seeing the Boar Leader’s horrible death surely eradicated the last shred of their attachnt to the Dragon King’s Palace.
Opposing the Bright Church was equivalent to seeking death, a belief deeply ingrained in their hearts!
“All right! Hang the Boar’s corpse up, make everyone see clearly what happens to those who oppose the Bright Church!”
On the strongman’s command, two people imdiately hung the mutilated corpse of the Boar high in the air.
Greg Jensen and Black Wolf retreated from the crowd without drawing any attention.
“What a move to warn others by making an example of one, and a veiled threat with another purpose. Sir, this news will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the surviving mbers of the Dragon King’s Palace on the run!”
Moreover, he had never expected the Boar to be killed so quickly.
Was he killed just for not complying? Obviously, it wasn’t that simple!
In terms of noncompliance, neither Fox nor Viper would ever betray the Dragon King’s Palace.
He always felt there were so unknown secrets behind this incident, and most crucially, now that Oscar Jones had already taken action, he feared the other brothers might be in danger too!
Greg Jensen grunted, “Rest for a bit. As the night grows deeper, we’ll climb up from that mountain over there! They’ve just executed the Boar and whether it’s to serve as a warning or for so other purpose, they probably won’t kill anyone again in the short term!”
And thinking back to when he saw the corpse, he unexpectedly noticed a layer of green sli on the surface of the body, with a scent of rot and a strong sll of plants.
It wasn’t hard to guess that before killing the Boar, Oscar Jones might have already used the research of the Dark Golden Triangle to strip him of his Special Ability.
These matters… can only be confird later on when infiltrating their base!
