As soon as Kino finished speaking, the entire audience fell into a state of shock. Paladin and the others even felt their limbs tremble with coldness and their eyes became distracted.

Nicole was also completely stupid. She thought that Chino would just ask the Big Three to apologize, and at most they would be fined a small amount of money or given two whips. Who would have expected that Chino would be beheaded directly???

Nicole panicked and hurriedly said: "Sir, don't be like this! The three of them were caught in an illusion at that time. They were not malicious. They were just fulfilling their duties. There was no subjective fault!"

Next to them, Liszt and Aimo were also frightened and quickly advised: "It's really unnecessary, let's use flogging instead!"

Kino looked sideways at the stiff guard at the door: "What are you waiting for?"

The guards were frightened, but they were still professional. They stood silently behind the three giants and gave them the last dignity. They did not reach out to detain them, but let them go on their own.

Paladin and Baisa turned pale and were too frightened to move. They never thought that they would be killed.

On the contrary, Lugo was very strong. When Paladin and Baixa were frightened, he took off his security captain badge without saying a word, took off the black night sword given to him by Chino, put them both on the table, and said in a deep voice: "

Anyway, I have already thought about it, I will only be with you in this life, this life is also yours, if you want it, I will give it to you."

"Don't, don't, don't! Don't!!!" Lugo was about to hold his head high and die when Nicole stumbled over and stopped him.

Immediately afterwards, Nicole knelt down on one knee, took off her sword and placed it in front of her, and nodded heavily to Kino: "If they are going to be punished like this, then I should be guilty of the same crime. Lugo and Baisa are both Shangguan,

When the conflict broke out, I also attacked them with a sword, please behead me together."

The officials present took a breath and looked at each other with complicated expressions, wondering how things had evolved to this point.

There was no unnecessary expression on Kino's face, he just looked at them silently.

Kino actually didn't want to kill these three people.

To be precise, I don't want to now.

Previously, when Chino learned from Eleven that these three people were secretly detaining Nico, he actually had murderous intentions.

But after careful consideration, he gave up his murderous intention.

The biggest reason is that these three people are very useful.

Paladin is very talented in trading. Now the caravan scale is very large and he is very popular in various places. The monthly coins he obtained from other channels can basically be cleaned after his processing. The huge profits brought by the trading itself are

Not to mention.

Apart from Paladin, who was both smart and loyal, Kino really didn't trust anyone else to hand over his pocket bag to anyone else.

Baixa's usefulness is slightly weaker than that of Paladin, but it is also very important. He leads troops well. Whether it is training soldiers in peacetime or commanding troops in war, he can make arrangements in an orderly manner, saving himself a lot of energy.

It is said that the three armies are easy to obtain, but good generals are hard to find. There must be a better military commander in Dogulandri than Baixa, but whether he can be found and whether he can be his own after being found are all unknown.

Needless to say about Lugo, the guide will never go north, he will bite whoever he is told to bite, and he will not complain about any dirty work. Where can I find such an obedient and loyal dog?

He really killed these three people, and he was the one who suffered the most. What was he doing?

Even if I don't mention this, during the period when I was in coma, these three people cooperated with each other without any selfish motives, without suspicion, without seizing power, and handled the government affairs in an orderly manner during the emergency. This alone could not offset their merits.

, saved from death.

The reason why Kino still uses beheading as a deterrent is that their handling of the Seven Plagues event is indeed very problematic.

Detaining Nicole without asking for permission reflects a disregard for superiors and is an act of overstepping one's authority. In layman's terms, it means failing to position oneself correctly.

Perhaps because they had been following him for too long, these three people relied on their confidants and felt that they had status and status, and could do many things without asking for instructions.

This is a very serious mistake and must be reversed in time.

Otherwise, if you dare to act without asking for permission today, you will dare to cross the line even more tomorrow. Such signs must be stifled and must be beaten with a big stick.

And the other point is about Nicole.

This girl is young, has little experience in the world, and has an introverted personality. It is easy to cultivate her into a loyal soldier.

There is no such thing as too little or too many dead soldiers.

After Kino brought Neeko back from the royal city, he had been intending to train her.

However, due to their personality and height, Nicole, Lugo and others could not get along with each other. They never interacted with each other and did not deal with various things.

This seven plagues incident is the best example. If Nico was replaced by Paladin, Lugobaisa would definitely believe what Paladin said and report the abnormality instead of being beaten and detained privately.

Disunity among subordinates is a very fatal thing. If there is no unity among subordinates, no matter how strong the overall strength is, it will be scattered.

Therefore, Kino wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of beheading as a deterrent to help Nicole do a favor for these three people, so that she could integrate as soon as possible.

Now that Neeko has stood up and proposed to be tortured together with Paladin and others, Kino knows that his goal has been achieved.

Kino: "You have already said this, what else do I have to say? The punishment of beheading will be recorded first, and each person will be fined one year's salary. At the end of the month, you will receive 200 iron whips."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!" Paladin and the others nodded and bowed hurriedly, their gratitude beyond words.

And as Kino expected, their thoughts had changed a lot.

Nicole was supposed to be the recipient of the award. In order to prevent others from dying because of her, she took the initiative to stand up and plead for the same crime. This kind of behavior of sharing the same hardships is rarer and more valuable than anything else in the eyes of a grown man.

No, when the three giants looked at Nicole, their eyes were filled with deep gratitude and admiration.

"With punishment, there is reward." Kino looked at Nico and said calmly, "Although you failed to change the situation during the seven plagues incident, I saw your loyalty. What reward do you want? Tell me, I can give it

I will definitely give it to you."

Nicole nodded slightly and said softly: "As your personal bodyguard, those are what I should do. I don't desire any reward."

Kino: "Take what is given to you generously. Don't covet what does not belong to you. Tell me, what do you want?"

Nicole had never thought about this question before, and was very hesitant at this time, unable to answer it.

Kino didn't push her, waiting for her to think about it slowly.

After a long while, Nicole pursed her lips, and her voice was like a deer's low voice: "If possible, I want a good sword. So that I can use it to protect you better..."

Hearing this, the officials present nodded unconsciously. These words were so beautifully said, and it could be seen from the tone and demeanor that Nicole was definitely not flattering, but sincere.

Kino hummed: "I know, give me some time, I will give it to you."

...

After the meeting, Kino returned to the bedroom and picked up the little black cat.

Its injuries have long since healed, except for a small piece missing from the tip of its left ear.

According to Hanyi, he was injured by a pen used by the four-clawed golden dragon Cangxuan. The pen can draw living creatures and is also a sharp weapon.

Chino tried various methods, but the missing piece of ear could not grow back, and even injecting Phoenix serum was of no use.

However, the injury did not affect daily activities, and it was not unsightly, so he left it alone to see if it would grow out on its own over time.

Kino put the little black cat on his lap and touched it. His pupils moved sideways and looked at the triple shackles interface.

This round of invasion, despite the horrific torture and imprisonment, was really a fruitful harvest.
