Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 1639
As the saying goes, the law is not responsible to the public. There are many ways to interpret this sentence. For example, when there is a problem with the law so that innocent people commit inexplicable crimes because of it, the law cannot and cannot be blamed, because the fault is not the offender, but the pedantic and narrow law.
For another example, when the foundation of the law enforcer is no longer solid, the old law will be flexible, because he is unable to implement it. If he wants to maintain the dignity of the code rudely and simply, he will only get the effect of self humiliation, which is that the law is not enough to blame the public.
Another situation is that when the executor of the law feels afraid in the face of a large number of prisoners and loses the courage of execution, he can''t do anything but do it.
Atta''s current situation may be applicable to all of the above. When umala arranges the Goblins who have eaten human flesh and arranges them in front of Atta and other goblins, whether it is mutiny or timidity, doubt or abuse, it can happen, and it will happen.
After all, under the rolling of the wheel of hatred, any action that wants to slow down or stop it will be crushed into debris if it is careless.
She knew it, and they all knew it, so the Goblins who stood up did not have any anxiety. On the contrary, they thought that in the current situation, atta was smarter to take them as an example.
It''s not surprising that the way the goblin court works has always been the same. Goblins tend to use more gentle and secret means than imposing rewards and punishments.
As the Crypt Lord suggested before, if an orthodox goblin commands this army and he has the same likes and dislikes as Atta, his way to deal with these cannibals is not to call them out. On the contrary, he will not show his dislike for these people at all, and may even deliberately promote them.
However, after promotion and concealment, he will deal with these undesirable subordinates in various ways without leaving a trace, such as leaving them behind the palace or performing tasks that have no return.
Some people may think that this way of doing things is too insidious, but this is also determined by the characteristics of goblins. Because there is no inevitable kinship, goblins always pay more attention to themselves rather than the whole. So is their idea. Don''t try to explain to them what responsibility is. Goblins with similar ideas are a minority in the whole ethnic group.
This leads to some effective command strategies for other intelligent creatures, which will not work among goblins.
So does atta know what''s at stake? Maybe.
She is not a girl with a dead head. Although in the face of difficulties, she will want to rely on carras and cheese. It is not enough to ask for their help with their experience and knowledge. It is also the best choice to deal with things.
At present, she has no one to turn to for help, which can be said to be the second time she made a decision among the goblins. Compared with the hope brought by her savior in the first decision, she experienced a failed exploration at this time, and the morale and prestige of the goblins began to decline. It''s not difficult to be a victorious general, and how to rally when the army is defeated is the most test.
What should a man eating goblin look like? Atta has also seen monsters that feed on humans before, whether vampires, skinners, demons or descendants of evil gods. They are all ferocious, cruel and ugly. It seems that there is a requirement that only ugly things will feed on advanced intelligent creatures such as humans.
But this is not the case. Apart from anything else, Kellas once said that even among cat goblins, there are guys who have tasted human blood. Therefore, many of the goblins standing in front of atta are not detestable. Some of them can even be regarded as lovely in human aesthetics, and even make people feel pity. But Umara won''t find the wrong person.
"Your Highness, what can I do for you?"
A goblin whose head was replaced by a pumpkin bowed and asked. This kind of goblin is called Pumpkin Jack in some places. It is said that it will haunt the melon fields, intimidate passers-by and farmers, and drag screaming people into the dark to kill them. However, Pumpkin Jack is generally timid. If people dig the pumpkin into a pumpkin lamp similar to his head and light it, it will make him feel afraid and dare not do anything.
"You''ve eaten people, haven''t you?" Atta''s eyes drooped and people couldn''t tell why she was paving the way, but her voice was very light. Even the long-term travel didn''t affect her clear voice, so this kind of inquiry is difficult to bring a sense of oppression.
Think about it, atta''s appearance is just a young girl. Compared with her ability, her eyes and hair are easier for people to see her as a thin and beautiful beauty.
"Yes, ma''am. But that''s, you know, because of anger and survival needs. Humans also eat their enemies in battle, don''t they? Anger turns any creature into a beast."
Atta calmly looked at the pumpkin with orange red light inside. The scene looked funny, but all the goblins vaguely felt that this was not the occasion to laugh.
"Then I''ll revise my question. The Goblins who have eaten the cooked people stay. Those who eat people can leave only to survive and vent their anger."
Atta was not worried about their lying, because the first inscription on the vlaklag was the oath breaker. If she wanted, each of these goblins would be forced to ask the specific situation of cannibalism. But the goblins didn''t know. They knew that atta was noble, but not many people recognized the sword in her waist.
So after the problem was revised, all the goblins stepped back and said they didn''t eat people because of their preferences. Naturally, some people are lying. If all the goblins accidentally ate some human flesh because of anger in the battle, umala will not report it at this time.
It will be listed as a separate question list, indicating that they did far more than that at that time. This can also explain why the mages on the ground are so cautious in searching for goblins. They won''t leave their companions alone, because these goblins are not only dangerous, but also terrible.
"Then there''s no way." Atta sighed and pulled out the magic sword with his right hand. The cold light on it seemed to light up the whole crypt for a moment.
The female swordsman''s sword came out very quickly. When everyone was still stunned by the silver light, the blade of the magic sword had been put on the neck of the pumpkin goblin. The latter almost involuntarily knelt down and fell on one knee in front of atta.
"Go ahead." The power of the magic sword is the same for goblins. As long as it is a creature with a neck, it must reveal the real situation in front of the oath breaker.
It doesn''t matter what the goblin said. It''s enough to know that his words before the oath breaker are different from those before.
But that''s not the point, is it? If atta was wise enough, she should have taken the opportunity to let it go just now, because these goblins have shown their intention to fight her. Now what can they do even if they rely on the magic sword to tell the truth? Yeah, so what?
After hearing the fairy''s story, atta was silent for two seconds. When umala was ready to come forward and say something to solve the siege, the magic sword left the neck of pumpkin head. But before the latter got up, the blade came again at a faster speed!
"Ah!" The scene made the Crypt Lord scream, and the goblins around him also inhaled and shouted. But as atta raises the blade in his hand, the second inscription on the sword tells the identity of it and its holder.
"Strike, strike, strike the enemy''s sword! It''s the enemy''s sword!"
