Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 570

Chapter 570: 570
Before Sui Xiong had space traveled here, there a famous movie line appeared on the Internet . It said, “I have done a good job for XX . I have bled for XX . You can’t do this! I want to see XX!” Then it had been followed by, “Drag him out,” and sounds of gunshots .
This plot had been used in several movies . Sui Xiong didn’t know its original source; he only remembered that he had seen several different versions . It could be used when dragging a dog across the street to the death of a certain NPC in a game . It was quite appropriate in those scenes .
The situation of Hogg Bale was also quite suitable for this line .
If he could speak, he might say, “I have done a good job for the Empire! I have bled for His Majesty! You can’t do this! I want to see His Majesty!”
Regrettably, Sui Xiong didn’t allow him to speak, so there was no “drag him out” being said . Moreover, the guillotine was not suitable for the phrase, and in the end, there were no sounds of gunshots .
After thinking about it carefully, Sui Xiong felt that this was not perfect enough .
He was silently thinking with a cold face . However, in his heart, he was laughing .
Beside the blade on the other side, a fierce battle, which was invisible to mortals’ naked eyes, was happening .
After all, Hogg Bale was a demigod . He was immortal . Even though his flesh was killed, his soul still had strong power . He was not an ordinary person who could be easily caught by Hell Messengers .
If ordinary Hell Messengers came today, Hogg might be able to defeat them with his own strength and then escape .
However, hell had been notified by Sui Xiong in advance, so two dukes came here today .
Hell Dukes were roughly equivalent to mid-level Divine Powers . However, after leaving the underworld, their strength would slightly decrease . They would be roughly equivalent to low-level Divine Powers .
Of course, because of the existence of the protective enchantment of the Main Plane, they couldn’t directly step into the Main Plane . However, they could create a small Half Plane here and stay inside, giving the Hell Messengers power at almost zero distance .

With the power they provided, the Hell Messengers immediately became energetic . Several messengers surrounded Hogg, and they fought fiercely .
However, as time went by, the power contained in Hogg’s soul gradually disappeared, and the power the Hell Messengers received from their own bosses was almost endless . Therefore, the result of this battle was already determined .
Sui Xiong didn’t intervene in this battle . This was the request of the Hell Judges . For them, it was their professional ethics and dignity to arrest the souls of the wicked with their own hands .
They were not the old-fashioned guys who would starve to death with dignity . However, since their current combat power was sufficient, why would they bother to damage their dignity?
Sui Xiong thought that was fine . He appreciated it .
In fact, in this world, what he appreciated the most was the Hell System . They had power in numbers, and they had an unwavering stand . They were never soft-hearted when punishing the evil, and they did things straightforwardly and clearly . They were perfect .
In contrast, something was wrong with the powerful human gods . Unfairness was their biggest problem . The more knowledge they had, the more reactionaries there were . This sentence could be used to describe their situation .
However, Yorgaardman, a just god, basically had no influence at all . He was totally alone, wandering in this world with a sword . Well, he didn’t even have a sword; he used an axe . He always fought on his own . Even if he was a piece of steel, how many nails could he bear? There were so many bad things in the world . How could he deal with all of them on his own?
Sui Xiong thought that perhaps he should be a middleman and ask his elder brother to communicate with the Hell Judges to promote cooperation .
Cooperation meant benefits for both sides . Sui Xiong knew that because of this event . If he didn’t invite the Hell Judges to work together with him, he might not be able to keep order with his own strength .
The Orc gods might send their avatars down to attack him again . He was not afraid of that, but that still wasn’t good .

If smacking their faces turned into fighting, that would be pretty low-end .
Honestly speaking, if it was really necessary, Sui Xiong wouldn’t mind turning smacking into fighting . He was more familiar with fighting than smacking . However, if he could smack their faces, that would be good .
Therefore, he had started from the border of the Orc Empire . He had gone forward to the hinterlands again and again, and the people he was going to kill became more and more important .
Perhaps, the Orc Empire and the Orc gods had originally wanted to attack Sui Xiong . However, when they had seen the end result of the dead Isis members, they forgot about it . Although the dead had been more important, this could still be tolerated; they had just ignored it, and so it had happened again and again . This was called the “frog-boiling effect . ” When Sui Xiong had been in college before space traveling, he had a professor that was especially good at using this method . During the whole year, he had slowly increased the amount of homework . In the end, the abominable old man had given them the most homework among all the lessons . That was really cruel!
Well, by the way, there was no way to boil a frog in warm water in this world . Sui Xiong had once thought of that, so he had curiously caught a frog to experiment . As a result, the frog had dishonored him . When the water got warm, the frog had jumped away . There weren’t any feelings like, “Oh, I can tolerate the water temperature, so it doesn’t matter . ”
Presumably, the frogs of the two worlds were different .
Thinking about those strange things, Sui Xiong hadn’t delayed his work . He had been capturing the head members of Isis in no hurry . Then, he had declared their crimes one by one and executed them .
Of course, those who had been caught by him deserved the death penalty .
There was such problem as “too severe a penalty” during the executions of those people . According to the law in Sui Xiong’s hometown, even if people committed minor crimes, they would be shot 100 times, leaving them with holes all over their bodies . As for Hogg, he had committed the most capital crimes, and Sui Xiong had once asked Cambrona, the legal expert, to help estimate . The conclusion had been that Hogg probably needed to be executed more than 10,000 times to offset his crimes .
At that time, Sui Xiong had been a little confused . He had asked, “So many times? That’s a scary number . ”
“In fact, the number is still relatively small . I have counted a lot of felonies as one death penalty,” Cambrona had said . “If you really want to quantify it in detail, the number will increase some more . ”
“What?”
“For example, if he kills 10,000 people, how many death penalties should he receive?” Cambrona had asked .
After thinking for a while, Sui Xiong had asked, “10,000?”
Before Cambrona had replied, Sui Xiong had shaken his head first . He had said, “No, the soldiers responsible for the massacre and the officers at various levels are also guilty . The 10,000 death penalties should be divided equally between them . Alas, it is difficult to calculate!”
“Yes,” Cambrona had said, laughing . “So just give each one of them a death penalty . That would be fair . ”
Sui Xiong had nodded again and again . He had totally agreed with Cambrona .
Later, he had sentenced all members of Isis to death . This decision had been influenced by the words of Cambrona .
Cambrona was a fat man who was also kind; he smiled all day . After work, he often ran to pick up his wife . He never thought that his words could decide the fate of tens of thousands of people .
