Chapter 110

"The purpose of punishment?"

Arthur bowed his head for a moment and replied, "nature is to let the wrongdoer pay the price he should pay to make up for his mistakes. The best way to make the territory stable is to kill all the bad people or expel them out of the territory through the law!"

"As long as the bad guys are killed and expelled, the territory will naturally be stable! Those who wanted to make mistakes will also get rid of their thoughts under the threat of heavy punishment."

Allen heard the speech and shook his head gently. He didn't expect that Arthur looked gentle and elegant at ordinary times. He was so murderous in terms of law!

"Making prisoners pay for their mistakes is indeed one of the purposes of punishment, but not all. More importantly, how to make a bad man realize his mistakes and become a good man."

Ellen said.

"Can bad people become good people?" Arthur asked.

Alan nodded: "of course, no one in this world was born a bad man. There must be his reason why he became bad."

"For example, if a person steals, he may be lazy, but he may be forced by life."

"Take Liezi for example. A person's parents are seriously ill. They have spent all their savings in order to cure them and are forced to steal property. In this case, don't you think your punishment is too heavy?"

Arthur was speechless, meditated for a long time and explained, "this is a special case. In this case, we can reduce or even exempt his punishment."

Arthur defended, but his momentum was much weaker.

Allen smiled gently and shook his head again: "the law is beyond mercy. Anyone who makes a mistake should be punished. This is what I say. Everyone is equal before the law. Of course, if the victim chooses to forgive the person who hurt himself, he can also reduce the punishment as appropriate, but he must not be exempted from punishment."

"Therefore, the penalty must be cautious and cannot be generalized. When it should be heavy, it should be heavy and when it should be light, it should be light."

"People who really commit great crimes cannot be spared. For example, those who maliciously kill others must pay for their lives."

"If you just make some small mistakes and don't cause too serious consequences, you should give priority to punishment and education, and let them realize their mistakes as much as possible, so as to reform."

"The severity of punishment depends on the consequences caused by the prisoner and the original intention of his crime."

"For example, if a person steals money waiting for others to save his life and causes death, he must be severely punished, even though he may not know the consequences."

"Another example is a person who kills maliciously, even if he doesn't kill or even hurt each other, but as long as he has this motivation and has taken action, he must be severely punished!"

Arthur listened and bowed his head for a long time.

In terms of punishment, Allen's idea conflicts with his idea obviously. For a while and a half, he can't accept Allen's idea. At the same time, he also knew that his ideas would be difficult to implement in the territory without persuading Allen.

This is an unsolvable proposition. Alan and Arthur must have one person bow to each other's ideas.

"Lord, I want to go back and think about it."

Arthur said in a low voice. Obviously, Allen's words had caused him some thinking, but they could not completely convince him.

Allen nodded reluctantly: "go, as long as you think clearly before the law court is built. Also, select some of the candidate officials to serve as your deputy and the president of the branch of the law court in various towns, the director of the judicial department, the investigation department and the legislative department."

"It's up to you to decide all these candidates. Just report the list to me after you decide."

"Yes, Lord!"

After Arthur left the Lord's house, Alan couldn't help smiling.

It was expected that Arthur could not be persuaded to reduce his punishment. If Arthur was so easily persuaded, he would not be Arthur.

In fact, Allen can also, as a lord, strongly ask Arthur to formulate punishment according to his own ideas, but Allen doesn't intend to do that. He doesn't want to be a dictator.

Allen went to the courtyard of the Lord's house, called the gale eagle, rode the gale eagle and flew towards Kribi town.

As early as three days ago, Allen had asked the heroes and soldiers of the territory to assemble in Kribi town. Most of the soldiers of the territory gathered in Kribi Town, except that some soldiers were left at the western border to guard against the city master's house.

The gale eagle was fast. In less than two hours, it took Alan to Kribi town.

Alan let the gale Eagle land in the barracks outside Kribi town.

This barracks was temporarily built by the soldiers in the past two days. After all, there are too many soldiers gathered in Kribi town. If they all settle in Kribi Town, it will be too disturbing to the residents.

Allen just landed, Galen, svein, asso and others greeted him.

Now all six heroes summoned by Allen are in this barracks. Allen also saw Dreyer, the road crazy female soldier, beside Yasuo.

The high-end combat power led by China is gathered here.

"How are you getting ready?"

Allen asked after entering the barracks master's account.

"All the soldiers have assembled and are ready to go to war!" Galen replied.

Alan nodded: "how many troops have been assembled here?"

"Report back to the Lord. There are 50 vanguard knights, 100 Centaur archers, 500 Knox axe soldiers, 300 frost bows and arrows and 100 holy light priests, a total of 1050 people!"

There were only 30 vanguard knights. Later, Allen bought 20 more, now a total of 50.

Allen nodded again: "the day to attack the blue shirt army has been determined, just on the 23rd of this month. At that time, the city Lord's house and major territories will send troops together to catch the blue shirt army unprepared and strive to completely eliminate the blue shirt army."

"Lord," Swein said, "the Allied forces are unprepared to fight the blue shirt army. I'm afraid they don't have a chance."

"Why?" Allen asked.

"According to the information detected by detective noxas, the blue shirt army has moved frequently in the past two days. According to my guess, the blue shirt army may have received the news that the city Lord's palace wants to unite with major territories to attack them, and is preparing in advance."

Alan frowned: "did the blue shirts get the news so soon?"

Only today did he get the notice from the city Lord's house to launch the general attack on the 23rd. Unexpectedly, the blue shirt army got the news two or three days in advance.

"It's not surprising that there must be blue shirt spies in the city Lord's residence, even in major territories," Swein replied. "These spies may have been sent by the blue shirt a few years ago."

"So, the blue shirts have been on guard for a long time. It's impossible to catch them off guard?" Allen said disappointed.

There is a huge difference between the results of frontal confrontation and sudden attack, and the cost to be paid is even greater.

Swein Jie smiled: "the coalition army was caught off guard when it wanted to fight the blue shirt army. It really didn't have a chance, but we Chinese leaders may not be able to."
