Chapter 719

"It feels like the Lord Mayor wants to hang corpses all along the west wall!"

"…"

The members of the hunting squad standing on the wall had already sensed something was wrong.

But they lacked the strength to struggle further; those guarding them were elite soldiers of Mount Dajiao's military.

Coarse rope nooses were slipped around their necks, and some Platinum and Gold-ranked prisoners had massive stones tied to their feet.

Finally, someone started cursing!

All kinds of vicious insults, threats…

Su Yang ignored them all.

It was well known that Su Yang was a magnanimous and tolerant man.

They're all about to die—let them vent a little; what's the harm?

At Chengmenkou, soldiers posted a notice on the wall beside the gate.

Many people gathered to read it and learned of the Treasure Pavilion's crimes.

"So that's how it was!"

"The Treasure Pavilion hunting squad really had guts—killed plenty of military personnel!"

"They got what they deserved!"

"…These people should be killed!"

"Yes! I heard that last time the sea beasts came ashore and attacked the city, Lord Du mobilized the Treasure Pavilion hunting squad to defend the walls—but they didn't show up, which is why Lord Du was severely wounded!"

"…"

Tong Tong Junhao ran over to Su Yang: "My lord, everything is ready—just waiting for you to carry it out!"

Over three hundred people, each with a rope noose around their neck.

The other end of each rope was tied to stone pillars on the wall.

Some already had massive stones bound to their feet.

Once the prisoners are dropped, they'll be hanged.

These people either personally murdered military beast-tamers in the wild, or aided them, or knew and said nothing!

In Su Yang's eyes, all of them deserved to die.

"Let me do it!"

"Yes!"

Tong Tong Junhao already knew Su Yang intended to carry out the executions himself.

Below the wall, many beast-tamers had sharp eyes—they saw Su Yang, his face wrapped in bandages.

They watched Su Yang drop one Treasure Pavilion hunting member after another off the wall, casually pulling off their head coverings.

Those once lofty Treasure Pavilion beast-tamers, as they fell, thrashed violently in midair for a moment, then fell still.

Some timid civilians had already lowered their heads, refusing to look.

Some bold civilians had initially been able to bear it.

But as more and more were hanged, they too began to break down.

Even Wan Jing, deputy commander of the Tiger Shark Mercenary Company, and Li Li Yuanhao, head of the Li family who had seen many grand scenes, couldn't help but lower their heads.

"Sigh!"

Li Li Yuanhao, his hair streaked with white, sighed.

Fifty, one hundred, one hundred fifty, two hundred, two hundred fifty…

In Su Yang's ears, the sound of experience gains chimed nonstop.

Before arriving, Su Yang had swapped his pet for the Exploding Yan Mo.

These experience points were useless to the Earthquake Bear.

But for the Exploding Yan Mo, on the verge of leveling up, they might just be enough!

Every member of the Treasure Pavilion hunting squad was a beast-tamer.

Upholding the excellent Chinese tradition of frugality, Su Yang didn't want to waste them.

Consider it recycling.

"Stop!"

As Su Yang continued to throw prisoners off the wall, a shout rang out from afar.

Tong Tong Junhao and the other city guard troops looked up and saw several beast-tamers riding flying beasts approaching from the horizon.

Judging by their power, Tong Tong Junhao guessed they were at least a King-level expert!

They all wore the uniform of the Treasure Pavilion!

The Treasure Pavilion has arrived!

The Treasure Pavilion arrived before the Southeast Military did.

Tong Tong Junhao and the others looked at Su Yang.

Su Yang was their pillar.

And Su Yang?

He kept his head down, his hands and feet still moving swiftly, dropping one person after another.

His movements were steady, rhythmic, unhurried.

As if he hadn't heard a word of the command to stop.

The old man roared: "I told you to stop—didn't you hear me?"

In an instant, the four had ridden their flying beasts to within a hundred meters of Su Yang.

This distance is already very close!

Su Yang didn't even lift his head, only said in a deep voice: "I, the City Lord, am executing the prisoner according to military law. If you can't stand it, come and rescue him!"

Saying this, Su Yang threw down two more prisoners, who were screaming "Help!", right before the four Jade Pavilion Beast Masters!
