Chapter 276: Hikde and the Slave Camp

Kaimen lived up to Lorist's expectations. He quickly organized the slaves gathered on the dock, began to set up camps, sent slaves familiar with the Port of Slater to guide the Norton family's armed forces, occupied warehouses outside the inner city, and began to collect slaves. He also organized a team of young and strong slaves of more than a hundred people, holding wooden sticks to maintain order and being responsible for standing guard. He let the old, weak, women and children among the slaves bury the pot and make rice, boil water and deliver soup, making great contributions to the logistics supply of the Norton family's armed forces.

As a slave trading market in the famous Gellentia continent, Nubit Port is also a metropolis and has been expanded very well. Its inner city is not big. In the past century since its founding, Nubit Port has never been attacked. Therefore, the slave owners and merchants of the Kingdom of Haneyabada have long lost their vigilance and defense. They have expanded everything outside the inner city, manors, warehouses, and business stores, but now everything has fallen into the hands of Lorist.

Countless slaves gathered happily, and the newly established camps were constantly expanding. Seeing the doors of warehouses being opened, a large number of supplies were sent to the slave camps, and the slave owners and slave merchants who were still standing at the inner city to watch the enemy's situation were heartbroken, and the wailing sounds, crying and cursing kept coming.

At around 3:00 p.m., the defenders in the inner city began to throw torches out and lit a large number of houses built close to the inner city. Perhaps they wanted to use fire attack to burn everything outside the inner city, but Lorist reacted quickly and ordered and organized a large number of slaves to assist the family armed forces to establish a fire isolation belt outside the range of the inner city's crossbow, causing the enemy's attempt to emptie. They also used steel crossbows to suppress the head of the inner city wall, causing major damage to the defenders.

Nearly evening, a team of family soldiers who were searching brought good news to Lorist, who found Hikde, the missing clerk of the island of Hiklavas.

Lorist was overjoyed. The newly built slave camp now has nearly 70,000 or 80,000 slaves, less than one-third of the slaves in the Slave Port. The number of slaves will increase explosively in the next few days. As the number of people is too high, there are many things. Lorist is busy with this. When he heard that he found Hikde, he was unhappy, and there were candidates for these cumbersome matters.

When Hilovas Island was attacked by slave traders and slave hunting teams, Hicked could have evacuated to Farama Village first, but when he left Bainiao Town, a group of slave hunting teams rushed up. The town mayor Hugo father brought about a dozen young and strong men to resist. Hicked organized the panicked town people to evacuate. After a delay, he was captured and became a slave.

The only thing that made Hikde glad was that when he heard the idea of ​​Chikde Chamber of Commerce to attack Hiklovas Island, Hikde sent his family to the north, so even if he was caught, he would become a slave, at least he didn't have to worry about his family's safety. On the ship sent to the Kingdom of Haneyabada, he had seen many tragedies of his wife and children.

In Hickard's view, the members of the slave hunting team were all beasts, wolves in human skin. They were not human at all and had no humanity. Not to mention the massacres of the elderly and disabled people in Bainiao Town when they left, just for the ten days at sea, except for some girls who were picked out to take them back to offer to the slave owner, they ruined all the remaining women. At least every day, women jumped into the sea to commit suicide...

Hikde was lucky. The slave owner he assigned to the past soon found out that he was different. After learning that he was originally a clerk of Shilovas Island or a top student at the former Maupol College of the Crison Empire, he did not treat him as a slave who sold coolies, but instead asked him to be a clerk in a business in Nubit Port, responsible for registering and sorting out the messy miscellaneous items in the warehouse.

When the Norton family armed soldiers occupied warehouses and appeared in front of Hikde under the leadership of slaves, Hikde was stunned. He had thought that Lorist might send someone to redeem him and the family knights who fell into the hands of the slave owner, but he never thought that the Norton family armed forces would come to the door in just two or three months.

During the day, Hickard still stayed in the warehouse to sort out the debris, not knowing the situation outside. Now he saw a team of Norton family armed forces appear in front of him. After coming to his senses, he quickly announced his identity loudly. In this way, he quickly appeared in front of Lorist.

After a simple greeting and comfort, Lorist immediately assigned a new job to Hicked. Looking at the stacks of documents on the table, Hicked felt his scalp tingling. At this moment, he even felt that it was better to sort out the debris in the warehouse.

"Sir, you have been talking for a long time. It seems that I have to deal with everything. What is the point?" Hicked asked.

Then Lorist remembered that it seemed too much to push all the affairs to Hikde: "So, you are mainly responsible for the handling of slave affairs. This time our family attacked the Kingdom of Haneyabada, first to search and rescue the captured family knights and you civilian officials. Secondly, to retaliate against these slave owners' attacks on our family territory, and thirdly, to plunder the property of the Kingdom of Haneyabada to solve the problem of insufficient development funds encountered by our family territory.

To put it bluntly, in fact, our family took great risks this time. Except for the top leaders, everyone did not know that we had only had seven days of extra food and supplies except for the logistics supplies when we came. In other words, our fleet did not even have enough food and grass to go back except for coming. If we encountered a storm or something at sea, tens of thousands of us would probably be wiped out.

So from now on, all the logistics and supplies of our family's armed forces must be provided here, and the key to this is to get help from the slaves. We claim to be revenge on the slave owners and rescue the slaves here and give them freedom. But the premise is that these slaves must be organized by us, otherwise if they lose control, these slaves will soon mess up everything because of their revenge, which will turn into a disaster.

There are more than 400,000 slaves in the Kingdom of Haneyabada, of which there are more than 100,000 plains near the city of Hamidas, and there are more than 100,000 nearby islands. The remaining more than 200,000 are all in the surrounding areas of the Port of Nobit. Today, our newly established slave camp has collected more than 70,000 slaves, and more slaves will be heard in the next few days. How to manage and organize these slaves to abide by order and assist our family in arming is the biggest key to our victory in this expedition..."

"Sir, I understand. I will manage these slaves well," said Hickard.

Lorist shook his head: "Hiced, don't treat these slaves like refugees, as that will not be pleasing. You can't let these slaves stay in the camp. The key is to keep them idle. What I worry most is that these slaves will indulge in revenge on the slave owners after they get free, and set fire to those manor houses if they can't find anyone, which is very likely to cause disaster..."

Lorist took out a document and handed it to Hikde: "Look, these are the two warehouses of linen cloth seized. I ordered them to transport all these cloths to the slave camp and let them make new clothes for each slave. The purpose is to increase the favorable and confidence of these slaves for us, so that they believe that we are sincerely saving them, not deceiving them.

Another purpose is to make these slaves have something to do, instead of staying in the camp and doing nothing, which can easily cause trouble, and even give some ambitious slaves an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to tie poles and form a gang in the slave camp to be kingly domineering. Once it becomes a climate, it will cause great trouble to our family. You must know that there are 200,000 to 300,000 slaves here, while our family only has 300,000 to 40,000 armed people."

"What points should you remember when you go to manage a slave camp? First, establish a craftsman camp and select the craftsmen among the slaves. Second, form several guard camps, select honest and reliable young and strong people from the slaves, and be responsible for guarding and maintaining order. Third, identify slaves, and select all those who are slick and usually rely on pleasing slave owners and rely on people to bully other slaves. Don't let go of anyone's life, and be detained in another camp and then serve hard labor. These people are most likely to cause chaos...

In addition, all captured prisoners must be kept under strict supervision. I will give you two heavy armored barracks and a single-wheeled steel crossbow camp. What they need to do is to monitor the prisoners and warehouses, and also to prevent slave camps. Once a riot or riot occurs in the slave camp, you must use these three battalions to suppress them immediately. In any case, the slave camps cannot lose order...

I have ordered the sea legions to sweep the islands all over the world, and they will bring back the prisoners and slaves, and the population of the slave camp will reach more than 300,000. It is September, the harvest season, and we cannot waste the food that is about to mature on the islands. You can organize slaves to harvest them. If any slaves are willing to settle down in the archipelago, we can promise to share the fields to them, and they can become our leaders here to live and work in peace and enjoy freedom and happiness."

"Sir, do you mean that this place will become our family's territory in the future?" asked Hikde.

"Yes." Loris nodded: "I want to destroy the Kingdom of Haneyabada, which will become the overseas territory of our family in the future. After you identify the slaves, you can arrange the families of slaves who are small and willing to live here to work on those islands. Our family will allocate them living supplies and divide the land and build houses for them."

"Sir, what are you going to deal with those prisoners? Are you going to let them serve hard labor?"

"Serve hard labor? Haha, dreaming, they are not qualified..." A hideous smile appeared on Lorist's face: "Ask those family soldiers, have seen the tragic situation on the island of Hilovas, are they willing to let those murderers go? The targets of the hard labor are people, not beasts. Let me tell you the truth, Hikde, I am not going to let anyone in the Kingdom of Haneyabada, whether he is a noble or a civilian, I will kill them all, thinking that those who come later are banished..."

Hicked shivered, and the murderous aura emanated from Lorist at this moment made him creepy: "Sir, it is appropriate for you to execute those slave owners, slave traders and slave captives, and even those nobles and garrison soldiers can be said to be extremely guilty and death is not a pity. But those civilians, women, children and children have no guilt, and you cannot take your anger on them..."

Lorist smiled and shook his head, the cooling of his eyes made Hikde tremble: "Shikde, you are a good person, but you forgot that this is the Kingdom of Hanejabada, a country full of countless wronged souls of slaves. Like the civilians, women, children and children, their greatest sins were born here. Perhaps they had never killed a slave with their own hands, but their usual enjoyment was still based on the blood, sweat and tears of the slaves. Now that the retribution has come, they cannot escape..."

"Sir, there are more men and fewer slaves here, most of them are young and strong. We can use the captured women to establish military prostitutes camps as rewards for those slaves who obey our management. In the future, we can also beg them to slaves who are willing to settle down here as wives. Moreover, the soldiers in our family's armed soldiers also need to vent after being killed, so I think it is better to give those women a way out to give them a chance to atone for their sins..." Hikde took a step back and came up with an idea.

Lorist was silent for a long time, and after a while, he finally spoke: "You are right, Hickard, you are responsible for this matter, you can do it. Remember, managing the slave camp is the most important thing."

"Yes, sir, I'm going to do things now." Hicked bent down and bowed.

"You take away the relevant documents here, and I will call Kaimen, who is now managing the slave camp, to see you. He is also a slave, but he awakens the Dou Qi and the Black Iron Three-star rank. He can trust that after you form a security camp with slaves, you can appoint him as the commander and tell him that when he is promoted to the silver rank, I will accept him as a family knight."

"Yes, sir, I understand."

Hickard stepped back, and he would be very busy next time. Lorist finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

War is not just about charging and leading troops to fight, but more about countless trivial matters, including logistics supplies, materials, injuries, deaths, marching and garrison, defense and warding. Only by properly handling these things will the fruit of victory will it eventually bear the fruit of victory. The 30,000 to 40,000 elite family armed forces are enough to sweep the Kingdom of Haneyabada, but the organization and management of more than 400,000 slaves are related to how much seizures and victories the Norton family can obtain from this war.

Bodefinger walked into the tent: "Sir, what you ordered has been done. The more than 2,000 heads have been cut off and are being treated with anti-corrosion. The headless corpses have been dug into pits by the slaves. The remains of the soldiers who died in battle in our family have been cremated, and their ashes have been collected."

Bodefinger hesitated: "Sir, I don't understand why you gave such an order, why did you ask the enemy's head? And you also ordered the tiger Ross and others to bring the enemy's head back. What's the use?"

Lorist smiled and was about to speak, but a guard outside the tent reported loudly that an envoy with a white flag had come to the inner city of Nubit Port and wanted to pay homage to the Lord.

"I'll talk about your question later. Borg, let's hear what these turtles in the jar have to say first."

The messenger sent by the slave owners who were huddling in the inner city was an old man. The old man introduced himself that he was a viscount from the Kingdom of Haneyabada, but he had no fiefdom, and he was just a nobleman with honor. He was forced to come and be an envoy because of his unlucky missed the red lottery.

Lorist and Bodfinger sat in the tent. The old man trembled and expressed his protest, protesting that Lorist led his army to attack the Kingdom of Haneyabada for no reason. This was an offense to the peaceful Kingdom of Haneyabada. They brought blood and fire and war to the prosperity here, causing the nobles of the Kingdom of Haneyabada to suffer great losses. All of this is an unforgivable sin...

Lorist laughed and stood up: "I think you all know in your heart, who we are, where we come from, and why we come here. The wise man doesn't say secret words. Since you have the courage to attack my family territory, you must accept our revenge obediently. Don't tell me anything you are willing to compensate. To be honest, you can't afford to compensate unless you can let the innocent people who died tragically on the island of Hilovas appear before me..."

Lorist patted the old messenger's shoulder with a kind smile: "We are very reasonable. As messengers, I will not touch you a hair. Although we are in a state of war, we will still treat the messenger well. You don't have to be so scared, we will let you go back. Tell the people in the city that you have a good meal and enjoy it. You only have one night. It is best to take a shower so that our soldiers will not get dirty when they start tomorrow..."

The old man trembled all over and tried to show his strength and unyieldingness. He trembled and said: "We will not surrender. We still have six or six great sword masters. We can stick to the arrival of the king's Forbidden Guard Legion..."

"Yeah, you're right." Lorist said happily: "I just killed three great sword masters in the morning, and I'm not satisfied at all. I hope you six great sword masters can persist for a long time and don't let me down. As for your king, don't worry, he will be with you soon."

The old messenger collapsed and went back with tears and tears.

"Borg, now you will take people to the front of the inner city to sort out a piece of open space, and then put the heads of those who have been treated with anti-corrosion into a pyramid shape. The heads of the four great sword masters were inserted in front with wooden sticks, and lit more torches to brighten the pyramid of the head..." Lorrist said.

"Sir, you are..."

"Don't ask, you'll know after finishing it."

Just one hundred meters in front of the inner city wall, Bodefinger cleared a clearing space and began to cast people's heads. This is where the crossbows and longbows on the inner city wall can be shot. When the guards on the wall were first cleared, the guards on the wall were still screaming, but facing a round of launch of a hundred single-wheeled steel crossbows in the distance, no one dared to stand up on the wall. Anyway, the enemies below did not seem to be preparing to attack the city. The guards on the wall could only cat-shaped bodies and look down from the jagged gap.

When several carriages brought a large number of people. A dozen brave soldiers began to set up the pyramid of human heads. Bodefinger even felt that he heard the sound of his teeth trembling. Within an hour from the beginning of the decoration to the final evacuation, no arrow was shot on the wall, and no sound came from it.

It turns out that doing so can make the enemy frightened and morale plummet. Bodefinger thought it was self-righteous.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, a guard rushed into the tent and woke Lorist who had just fallen asleep: "Sir, the enemy has broken through. They went out to rush out from the back gate. No matter whether they were killed or injured, they only knew how to run. The defensive front arranged behind could not stop him. Yingjielek's great sword master asked for the master to reinforce and pursue immediately..."

Oh, I put on a Jingguan and scared the enemy away...Lorist thought very depressedly.
