Although the sun hangs directly in the sky in the sky, it exudes heat but does not make people feel a little warm.
But the smell of sweat floating in the air shows that the temperature here is actually quite hot.
In this regard, Todd can definitely prove that he was wearing a coat, but now there is a little bit of sweat on his forehead, and he feels his body is steaming.
If you have been to the scene in person, you will know that at least a thousand people have poured into the square that originally could only accommodate hundreds of people.
And you must know that the entire city of Norwich has only tens of thousands of people, and this square occupies nearly one-tenth of the proportion, which is indeed a remarkable number.
At this time in England, the largest city is London, with a population of over 100,000, and it is basically one of the largest cities in Europe.
And all of this is created by absorbing other cities in England. It can also be said that the cities are thinner and one city is fatter. London is big, but other cities will suffer.
Thus, a strange phenomenon has been created. In England, only London has a population of more than 100,000, while other cities have as many as 20,000 to 30,000, and as few as thousands. There is no city comparable to London.
Even though Norwich is the second largest city in England, its population is only tens of thousands, which seems to be a misnomer.
Thomas felt that he was surrounded by people in front, back, left, and right, especially the tall and strong black lady on the right. She was taller than him, and her waist was as big as two of his. It made Todd, who was on his left, extremely uncomfortable.
It can be said that he feels like a small boat in the water, blown by the wind and rain, and he may be finished at any time.
Thinking about it, Todd looked at his thin body again, and he might not be able to beat him. For the sake of his body, Todd had no choice but to escape from here.
Thinking of it, Todd took advantage of the opportunity of the fat woman swaying to the right, immediately took a step back with his right foot, leaned back, and in less than a second, a space was immediately vacant in front of him.
As for the following situation, he can't care so much anymore.
The man who was originally on his left was crowded by the crowd, and immediately occupied the place he intentionally left vacant.
The big fat woman on the other side squeezed in again, firmly bonded to the man, so the space was compressed sharply, and Todd got out of a predicament.
Todd silently mourned for the man who took his place, no, prayed for a few seconds, and then turned backwards carefully, with great difficulty and painstakingly.
Suddenly, Todd felt the dagger at his waist hit a hard object and was tilted to the side. Before he could react, a low and angry sound came from his ear. Voice: "Are you blind? Don't you know there is someone behind you?"
Todd's body froze, and he turned his head slowly, only to see a man with a stern face, bent over, raised his head angrily, gritted his teeth, and said with some difficulty and pain.
Looking at the dagger on his waist, for a moment, he seemed to think of something
It seems that he has some reason, lowering his head slightly, looking depressed, and looking directly at him with vicious eyes.
Seeing this, Todd smiled awkwardly at this man who seemed to be a ruthless character, and said in a low tone: "I'm sorry, buddy, this is my mistake!"
After finishing speaking, Todd turned to the right, found a gap, and slipped in with difficulty. The figure quickly disappeared.
The man looked viciously at Todd's disappearing back, curled his lips, and said arrogantly: "Boy, if I don't have something to do today, if it's normal, I want you to look good! Bah—"
"Zach, bear with it, we still have important things to do next, save some energy!"
Seeing his swollen look, the companion on the side patted his arm, and comforted him with a look of sympathy for you.
Seeing this, the injured man clenched his fists and became even more angry.
"If it weren't for something happening today, I would have beaten him to death long ago, and made him kneel before me and beg for mercy!"
After saying a harsh word, the man straightened up slowly, his lips and face were trembling uncontrollably. It could be seen that he endured it very hard. Just now, Todd's blow really hurt him deeply.
Todd escaped from danger, looked around, and wiped his sweat after nothing happened.
"What luck, what luck! Fortunately, God bless me, I was lucky enough to escape!"
Todd patted his chest that was pulsating from running, and said with lingering fear.
"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to take a look at Sir Robert. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come!"
That's what I said, but for the grace of Sir Robert's life, and because of the guilt of betraying himself, before he died, he had to visit him a few times, so that he would feel better.
Thinking, he turned his gaze to the two Kate brothers surrounded by wood, with complicated eyes.
Marquis William on the high platform naturally didn't know the scene in the crowd, but in his eyes, the impenetrable crowd was the coming uncontrollable force, that is, the coming chaos.
Bored, he glanced at the sun high in the sky and felt that the time was almost up.
Immediately, he turned his attention to the Archbishop of Norwich and the Speaker of Norwich next to him.
The two of them felt the gaze of the Marquis, and they also understood what he was thinking in their hearts. It is better to do this matter sooner rather than later.
So, His Excellency the Bishop and the Speaker also nodded to Marquis William with a smile, expressing their agreement.
Seeing that the three big brothers agreed, a priest standing by stood up, stepped off the high platform, stood in front of Brother Kate, and began to pray before the routine.
Following the priest's prayer, the crowd of onlookers also ordered to bow their heads and sang along.
Just as the prayer was over, the whole crowd suddenly erupted, and dozens of figures suddenly rushed into Sir Robert who was tied in front of the cross.
Seeing this, the soldiers waiting by the side immediately set off and began to intercept.
Suddenly, dozens of attacking warriors and hundreds of soldiers slashed together, blood overflowing, swords flying, the fight was so fierce!
But carefully selected warriors are indeed rare. Hundreds of soldiers are almost crushed, almost rushing in front of Sir Robert.
When Marquis William saw such a scene, he waved his hand unhurriedly, and groups of soldiers filed out of the church and joined the fighting battlefield.
The soldiers who were in decline immediately turned the corner, and became more and more courageous as they fought, pressing down on the dozens of people who were hijacked.
Soon, in less than half an hour, the warriors who came to rob the execution ground aggressively were either killed or captured alive, and the situation returned to the original state.
On the stage, Lord William and Marquis watched lively, while the archbishop and Mr. Speaker were terrified. Although they could not run away, their hearts were still beating rapidly, and their faces were pale.
Only then did Marquis William turn his head to look, and the two big figures beside him looked overly frightened, and a look of concern suddenly appeared on their faces: "Your Excellency, Mr. Speaker, it seems that you are not feeling well, why don't you go back and rest for a while?" ?”
"No need, Your Excellency the Marquis, we will still live on!"
"Yes, we are fine!"
His Excellency the archbishop leaned on the chair and shook his head slightly.
The speaker on the side also paled in agreement.
Seeing this, Marquis William didn't persuade him any more. He sat up straight, looked at the warrior who was taken into custody, smiled and shook his head.
"Put them up together, and enjoy this pleasant burning with Robert Kate!"
Marquis William bowed his head and loudly ordered the soldiers guarding the warrior.
Immediately, the warriors who were kneeling on the ground, their bodies still bleeding, had cold hands and feet, and their hearts were trembling uncontrollably.
This ending is too terrible. This is the torture of fire. Two people are burned to death alive, suffering boundless pain.
So, this group of warriors from Yurou Township knelt down in front of Marquis William, weeping bitterly, begging for mercy loudly.
"Lord Marquis, please spare me!" "I don't want to die!" "I have money, I have money, and I want to redeem my life!"
However, Marquis William on the high platform turned a deaf ear to these, as if he was enjoying a drama, full of interest.
The Archbishop and Speaker, who were shocked by the side, also recovered at this time, just like William Marquis, watching with a blank expression, and there was no wavering in their hearts.
The crowd of onlookers, including Todd, gradually calmed down under the suppression of the soldiers.
However, as soon as Marquis William's ruthless words were uttered, the scene immediately quieted down. He felt that he was chilling all over at the moment.
Soon, the soldiers faithfully carried out the order of Marquis William, and pulled the so-called warrior who was crying endlessly to Sir Robert, which is the timber center.
Looking at the firewood and kerosene around them, the cries of the 'warriors' became louder and louder, reaching the sky.
Not long after they were dragged into the firewood center, the soldiers picked up the torches in their hands and lit the piled up firewood step by step.
In an instant, the flame changed from a fire point to a fire dragon, and the temperature in the entire square also rose several degrees in an instant.
In this regard, Sir Robert, who had been tied to the cross all this time, seemed to have sensed the approach of death, and finally raised his head and stared at Marquis William on the high platform.
"Marquis of Northampton, if you killed me today, tomorrow there will be thousands of me who will defeat you!"
"Because of your insatiable greed, nobles and gentlemen, in the future, more commoners will stand up and knock you down!"
"My today is your tomorrow! Hahaha!"
Following Sir Robert's unbridled laughter, the fire snake had already pounced on his body, nibbling him quickly. After a while, he let out a wailing cry, and his whole body was reduced to ashes.
