Chapter 156: Pardon and Threats
The officer turned around and walked away after saying these words, leaving Li Mu alone and stunned.
slave, slave.
I had actually forgotten what kind of society I was living in now. In this society with strict classes such as slaves, commoners, citizens, and nobles, slaves were as insignificant as they were.
These soldiers dared to slaughter these Tyrian people because all the Tyrian people became slaves after the city was broken, and the life and death of slaves were in the eyes of these troops composed of Macedonian citizens and even low-ranking nobles...
They can kill or behead them as they please.
What's more, Alexander has already issued an order to massacre the city.
Li Mu felt like his whole body had been electrocuted. Even though he knew that this was a battlefield experience and that he should adapt to these things, his kind soul made Li Mu still decide to stop it all.
No matter what, seeing those people, young and old, being slaughtered like this is against God's will. In your hometown, this will be punished by God!
Li Mu immediately ran towards the city, trying to stop the massacres he saw along the way, and then searched the world for Alexander.
As Tire was conquered by Macedonian and other city-state coalition forces, the whole city was now in a mess. The spear phalanx on the streets was driving away the crowd, and the Guards infantry were in various small streets and alleys.
They were running around, and the Tyrian screams were everywhere.
Li Mu frantically grabbed the soldiers one by one to ask about Alexander's whereabouts, and finally learned Alexander's location after some hard work.
He was currently on the highest mountain in the city of Tyre, where there was a temple where all the princes and nobles of the city of Tyre had fled.
Li Mu also learned about Philip's whereabouts from here, and he had already led his soldiers there.
After learning the news, Li Mu quickly headed over there, and when he climbed onto the small hill, the stone temple was surrounded by a circle of soldiers.
And there were also screams from people among them.
Li Mu pushed through the crowd and went inside, and finally saw Alexander and Philip. The two people were standing together at the moment, and under their feet were two luxuriously dressed corpses, and on the other side, a group of Tyrians
The soldier had his hands tied and was kneeling on the ground.
The tall temple was also crowded with people, but almost all of them were civilians, and all of them had their families with them.
They regarded the temple as their last refuge, and Alexander did not allow soldiers to invade it at this moment.
Li Mu hurriedly stepped forward and glanced at Philip. At this moment, the timid and timid fat man turned out to be very fierce. The dagger in his hand was covered with blackened blood.
This guy may have killed several people, and maybe he also killed these two people at his feet.
The veins on Li Mu's temples twitched a few times, and he looked at Alexander next to him. At this moment, Alexander was also holding a sword and shield in both hands, and he was wearing fierce armor. He looked like a vicious lion that chose people to devour.
"Jacques, why are you...coming here?"
At this time, Philip noticed Li Mu. Regarding his brother-in-law, he seemed a little panicked at this moment. However, Alexander next to him looked at Li Mu at this time and suddenly raised the corner of his mouth.
"Jacques, why did you come here in such a mess, and why didn't you follow Philip to fight here?"
Alexander seemed a little unhappy that this subordinate whom he valued very much did not perform well in this battle, and immediately asked.
However, Li Mu let out a deep breath, walked forward, walked up to Alexander, caressed his chest and said.
"Why did Your Majesty order the massacre of the city? The city is already a river of blood!"
Li Mu looked at Alexander and said loudly. Philip next to him heard Li Mu's aggressive words and was about to come up to stop him, but Alexander stared at Li Mu tightly and suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Because Admitus is dead."
"Then kill all the Tyrian soldiers and kill the young men of Tyre who stand in the way of us. I have no objection, but why do you want to use the knife on these women and children! Use the knife on these innocent people!" Li Muyi refused to spare.
Alexander's eyes suddenly became very unkind. For his subordinate to blame him in front of so many people would make him lose his majesty.
Philip next to him felt that his back was soaked with cold sweat at this moment, and his eyes were fixed on the dagger in Alexander's hand, for fear that he would use the dagger to cut off Li Mu's head at the next moment.
Alexander narrowed his eyes again, but said calmly: "So Yak, you want me to stop killing."
"This is what your Majesty should do. We should bury heroes with dignity, but we should never kill innocent people indiscriminately." Li Mu took a deep breath and said again.
This time Alexander put down the sword and shield in his hand, gave the shield to a soldier next to him, then lowered his head and kicked the corpse on the ground, then raised his head and looked at Li Mu.
"Okay, just listen to Yak and let's stop massacring the city."
Alexander said this, and Li Mu's expression brightened immediately, but he frowned again, feeling that what Alexander said was a bit too understatement.
Sure enough, Alexander's eyes became horrifying in the next moment, he pointed at the people in the temple with his dagger and said.
"I also let go of those hiding in the temple, because it is the God of War who is protecting them, but!"
"Just as you said, I will drag all the Tyrian soldiers and young men to the city walls and behead them, and those Tyrian women and children who are not dead will be sold as slaves! Sold to the poorest places!"
"I pardoned their deaths, but they are already the property of my Macedonian Empire. Do I, the emperor, have the power to dispose of them?!"
Alexander's voice became more and more passionate. Li Mu took a deep breath, but his eyes widened as wide as possible.
At this moment, Alexander's majesty made Li Mu speechless, but Li Mu knew that he had failed, and his words came true. He had allowed some people to survive, but he would only live in pain from now on.
For a moment, Li Mu didn't know how to respond, but Philip over there stepped forward, pulled Li Mu away, and responded to Alexander.
"Everything will be done in compliance with His Majesty's will!"
The surrounding Macedonian soldiers also shouted loudly, and they seemed to be happy to see such a scene.
Some people in the temple were cheering, shouting long live Alexander, but some people started to cry. Li Mu saw the expressions of everyone here, and at this moment he just wanted to curse this evil old society!
But everything was not over yet. When Alexander ordered his soldiers to notify the massacre of the city, he walked up to Li Mu and handed the dagger in his hand to Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't answer, but Alexander roughly thrust the dagger into Li Mu's hand, and then pointed at the kneeling Tyrian soldiers next to him.
"Jacques, you disappoint me very much. Philip's bravery is much better than yours." Alexander said slowly at this time.
"I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins. Kill these soldiers in front of these civilians, otherwise."
"I'll kill you."
