If a country treats those prisoners of war as slaves instead of adults, these slaves will undoubtedly be very pitiful, but under the pressure of the sword, it is obvious that those slaves will also become very capable craftsmen. At least in Turk Canyon
The slaves who built the city wall proved the above truth with their actual actions. When Lei and the others left, the city wall was just beginning to take shape, but when they came back, the city wall was completely completed. Those
The captured slaves, under the supervision of the wolf-like local private army, were desperately digging out the frozen soil that was barely softer than steel, and then smashing the ice to melt water, and continued to build the barracks in the city that would be used to garrison the army after spring.
Lei was a little surprised to see the slaves working hard in the howling wind and snow, and the white smoke rising from their upper bodies. In such a cold weather, they were still so hot that they were sweating. Occasionally someone slipped and fell.
When they sprain their ankles, or are finally too tired to lie down on the ground and cannot move, those Vante private soldiers with grinning faces will immediately walk up to them, cut their necks open with a knife, and drain their hot blood.
It was put into the excavated frozen soil, mixed into mud, and then smeared on the city wall.
Lei swallowed a little uncomfortably, while Lomat's face turned a little blue. Jerry said in a low voice: "Don't look at it, every empire will not regard the enemy's prisoners as human beings. Even though the exchange was signed
Capture agreement, but few captured soldiers are sent back alive. Lei, let’s go.”
Taking a long breath, Lei shook his head and sighed: "I'm not talking about other things, I just don't understand. Working so hard, but the progress is very slow in winter, and it is impossible to be very efficient.
Don’t they know this?”
Jerry said coldly: "So, how about putting these slaves in the camp and feeding them well? No matter how slow the progress is, they still have to work and stay in the camp. They will have enough to eat and drink.
They are about to start making crooked ideas and run away. It is better to use up a little more of their energy and let them be dogs. Besides, if they can build a house, it is just one room. Lei, let's go, we still have to drive half a house away.
It’s only a month’s journey back to the imperial capital.”
Lei hesitated for a while, and a young man happened to fall to the ground. The whips in the hands of the two supervisory soldiers immediately whipped him, and deep blood stains immediately appeared on his upper body. Lei subconsciously
He stroked his long sword, but immediately, the faces of his companions in Kali Village, the village chief uncle, and his mother appeared in Lei's mind. He gritted his teeth, and Lei
He said in a muffled voice: "This is what they deserve. They deserve it. Damn it, give me the key points."
The two soldiers who were beating the young man for fun saw Lei speak, and their energy seemed to increase tenfold. The whip in their hands made a whistling sound, beating the young man alive.
He fainted from convulsions. Lei smiled coldly, threw a few gold coins to the two soldiers, turned the horse's head, and ignored the enthusiastic greetings of the generals who oversaw the work. Together with Jerry, he led the large group of people forward.
Go.
Bobcat looked at the hapless captured soldiers indifferently, and smiled sinisterly: "Do you need some help? Our Bicester Empire produces a kind of snow leopard, which is very ferocious. It is the best helper when used to supervise work.
Make sure those slaves don't dare to be lazy, they can tear a person into pieces in a cup of tea."
Lei tilted his head and smiled: "Then, how about your Highness sending us a hundred leopards? I have heard that leopards are very useful if they are well tamed. If Your Highness is willing, why not expose them to us?"
The Lion Army will give you a hundred lions, the Jaguar Army will give you a hundred leopards, and the Silver Wolf Army will give you a hundred snow wolves."
Bobcat laughed: "No problem, in our land of Bicester Empire, the size of these beasts are much larger than those in your southern countries. Not to mention a hundred, a thousand will be enough."
Lei laughed and said, "Then, just a thousand heads will be enough, please, Your Highness."
Bobcat's face suddenly turned ugly. No matter how brave the soldiers of the Bicester Empire were, catching a thousand lions, a thousand leopards, and a thousand wolves alive in such weather would be an unachievable task. Especially this.
How much meat do three thousand beasts need to eat every day? Wouldn't their Bicester Palace become a zoo by then? But Bobkart had already said it, and he couldn't break his promise at this moment, so he had to agree with great depression.
Jerry was about to laugh wildly next to him, and he said hehehe: "Well, fortunately we have the Flying Phoenix Army and the Mad Dragon Army. There are no phoenixes and dragons on this continent. Otherwise, we would have captured a thousand legendary beasts."
Dragon, that’s a very uncomfortable thing.”
Bobkart snorted a few times and suddenly pointed to the northwest and said: "There are still such things as dragons, but they are on the continent of the sinners. If they exist on this continent, I am sure
What's so great about a dragon that can capture them?"
Jerry asked in surprise: "How is it possible? I just saw the legendary information from the top-secret reading room of our empire's library. How does your highness know that there are still living dragons on the continent of the sinners?"
Bobcat was stunned for a moment, lowered his head, and whispered: "After all, I am the heir of the Bicester Empire, so I can know some things that you nobles cannot know. Dragons, phoenixes, these legendary creatures
The creatures were expelled from this continent during the battle with humans. Do you know the Dragon Port in the southernmost part of the Smart Empire? There is another Dragon Island two hundred miles overseas. That was before the War of the Gods.
The place where dragons live. Later, all the monsters including the 'thunder beast' were driven out."
Lei asked curiously: "So, Your Highness, if you compare the dragon with the 'thunder beast'..."
Bobcat snorted coldly: "An adult dragon can kill a hundred elite knights of your Vante Empire."
The knights of Vant all widened their eyes and looked at Bobcat angrily. No matter how powerful the dragon is, there is no need to compare it with the people of the Vant Empire. Along the way, Ray, Jerry, and Bobcat
Individuals quarreled with each other, and at the same time, Bobkart kept leaking some information to them that only the royal families of the seven empires knew. Slowly, they also arrived at the capital of the Fante Empire. Bobkart and the others will add some information in the Mad Battle City.
food and grass, and then continue to move towards their own country.
It is very strange that Ray wants to kill Bobcat immediately. Even now, he has not changed his mind about killing Bobcat. However, it is really strange. After a while of interacting with Bobcat,
Ray had an inexplicable fondness for Bobcat. Compared to the cunning and changeable Carlin, Ray discovered that Bobcat was actually a man. As for Bobcat, the tense confrontation between Ray and Jerry
The atmosphere gradually relaxed, and the three of them could even exchange some more serious things... Maybe it's because the two empires of Vant and Bicester are now close allies, and the two countries share common interests.
, so the three of them also have something close to friendship.
However, none of the three people were willing to admit this.
Lei still watched coldly as several officials from the Ministry of State led Bobcat and the others towards the embassy area of the Bicester Empire. Jerry took his troops to the military department to hand over appointments. The three officials from the Ministry of State who were visiting were very happy.
He took the credentials of the Smart Empire and went to see Chris, while he himself had no choice but to take Lomat and the others towards his mansion.
Jerry knew very well that Lei was too lazy to chat with the bunch of bureaucrats in the military department. In order to prevent Lei from making a big fuss in the military department, he simply took over all the dealings with the civilian officials of the military department, so Lei Jin
After entering the gate of the imperial capital, I felt relaxed.
More than twenty days have passed since the New Year celebrations. The streets of the imperial capital are still very clean. The stone roads are just a little wet, but they are not dirty at all and look fresh. There are very few people walking on the roads.
, the weather is so cold that most citizens choose to enjoy family fun at home in front of the fireplace. Even those nobles who are busy with social activities cannot carry out their activities until midnight, and they are still raising their children at home.
What about spirit?
Lei rode a horse and led his bodyguard knights towards his mansion. The cold wind blew from the north, but to Lei, this wind was nothing. He chuckled and looked at it.
Looking at the rough buildings on the roadside, he said: "Karub, the house in Mad War City looks comfortable."
Karub and the others also laughed: "Isn't that right? The house in the Smart Empire may look nice, but it must be uncomfortable to live in."
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and at the same time the sound of carriage wheels rolled in. A group of people, led by several Vante knights, quickly caught up from behind. There were too many of them, and they saw no pedestrians on the road.
The bodyguard knights simply occupied the entire main road, so the cavalry behind them could only stop. From a gorgeously decorated carriage, a man complained softly.
Lei stopped his horse, waved his hand, and signaled his bodyguards to lean on the roadside and make way for a passage. The knights belonging to the Jaguar Legion quickly rode up, dismounted respectfully and saluted:
"General Lei, are you back? This visit should be a success, right?"
Lei laughed. These knights were all people who had friendship in Turk Canyon. At that time, the Jaguar Legion was completely destroyed. Only a few dozen of their high-level knights managed to escape with their lives. Later, in the continuous battles,
They performed very well, and all of them were promoted because of their military achievements at that time.
Lei jumped off the horse, returned a military salute, looked at the carriage behind which was guarded by a group of knights in green cloaks, and whispered: "Ha, not bad, the civil strife in the Smart Empire has given us an advantage, we
They agreed to all the requests... What do those guys do? Why are they so careful? They are like a group of frightened rabbits. Damn it, what are they afraid of when they arrive at Mad Battle City? Look at them, they don't look like our empire
A soldier, right?"
The red-faced Jaguar knight at the front lowered his voice: "Sir, this is the younger brother of the Grand Duke of Fort Carson in the southeast, who escaped with the princess of their principality. The commander-in-chief of Fort Carson, known as the Saint of the Tiger of Carson.
·Count Rocart led the rebellion and seized the throne of the principality. He is sending people to hunt down the two of them. They are the only legal heirs to the principality of Fort Carson. Hehe..."
Lei looked at the carriage behind him in confusion, and asked in a low voice: "They were deprived of the throne, why did they come to us?"
The knight quickly explained: "Our Vante Empire is the lord of the alliance of their three principalities. They came to ask us to send troops to help them regain the throne. Generally speaking, under such circumstances, they will eventually merge into our empire.
, this is a good thing delivered to your door.”
Lei's eyes lit up. He didn't know anything else, he didn't know political things, and he didn't want to know how those ministers who played politics would handle this matter. He only knew that the Principality of Fort Carson was one of the three...
One of the principality alliances, then that is enough. The military department has formulated a plan to use the Three Kingdoms Alliance to train troops, but it is worried that there is no good excuse to send troops. Now, hehe...
Lei shook his fist excitedly and said cheerfully: "Okay, great, great, don't you just want us to send troops? What's the problem? Ha, Lomat, you bring someone to escort them, haha,
This is a good thing. Tell Jerry, I was the first to discover this matter, and that old man Gaddafi is going to send troops, and we, the Mad Dragon Legion, will be the first to go out, so they don't want to take advantage of us.
.”
After chatting and joking for a while, Lomart led two hundred personal guards with understanding and escorted the two carriages towards the Ministry of State. Lei got on the horse with a smile. He became more and more excited as he thought about it, and saw that the road was empty.
There was no one around, so the horse simply galloped away. The wind whistled past Lei's ears, which made Lei feel very happy.
Lei's war horse was carefully selected by Li and given to him. It was a rare good horse in the 'City of Gods'. Now Lei's words aroused his temper. His four long legs moved back and forth crazily. In an instant,
They threw Karub and the others away for more than thirty meters. Karub and the others looked at Lei riding his horse with smiles, knowing full well that Lei saw that there was a war to fight, and their hands and feet became itchy. War is this thing, peace is
No one would like it, but once a person has participated in that kind of cruel and bloody war, he will fall in love with it like an alcoholic.
Lei Ze's horse galloped wildly, and they were already arriving at his mansion. As mentioned earlier, the urban area where he and Jerry lived was home to several women's colleges, and there were also some small merchants and specialized businesses nearby.
It is engaged in the business of this college. Therefore, unlike the previous residence of the Lomat family, there are many civilians living nearby.
A thin black shadow suddenly rushed out from the alley next to it, and behind it there was a girl's voice shouting angrily: "Lin, I told you not to go out to play in this weather.
You're going to soil your clothes again. Come back, Lin, come back..." And this man named Lin had already rushed in front of Lei's horse's hooves.
Lei's reaction was quick. He saw clearly that this was a little boy who looked to be no more than seven or eight years old. He was a playful and active boy. His thin body looked like a horse's hoof could trample him to death, and he was horrified.
The look in his eyes and the expression of despair made Lei tremble violently in his heart. Lei's big hand pulled the reins heavily, and the fighting spirit in his body exploded with all his strength, forcibly stopping the horse from running wildly. This horse was running happily.
The horse was suddenly pulled on the reins, and at the same time an irresistible huge force threw itself to the side. It stood up its two front legs helplessly, and after neighing crazily for a while, it was hit by the force.
The huge force was brought out to the left.
The horseshoe began to slip on the wet stone road. After a few sparks appeared, the horse fell pitifully and heavily to the ground, causing it to scream in pain. Lei, on the other hand, used too much force and his whole body followed.
The horse fell in the direction it fell and flew away, like a bear rolling down the hillside. It rolled all the way and hit a wall on the roadside. With a "boom", the snow on the wall was shaken off.
Lei groaned and lay down underneath, feeling dizzy for a long time without getting up.
The horse finally got up on its own, and a slender figure rushed out of the alley. After seeing the scene of people flipping on their backs, they screamed, hit the child named Lin hard on the head, and rushed towards him quickly.
Lei ran over. Her thin arms finally took one of Lei's hands. The girl was a little embarrassed and pulled Lei's body, but found that she couldn't pull this huge body at all. She couldn't help asking with a cry:
"Sir, are you okay?"
Lei touched the frayed cloak and trousers on his buttocks, smiled bitterly, and got up, muttering: "Damn, what a bad luck, you're already at home, and you fell like this, I'm going to provoke you
Who killed me?" Lei casually glanced at the little girl, who was only a little over five feet tall and only near his chest, and suddenly couldn't turn his eyes away.
Long brown hair, brown eyes, nimble lips, a tall and straight nose bridge, and a slim and delicate chin, all made up the face of a top-notch little beauty. Only a cotton-padded jacket was worn on her frail body.
It looked like she grabbed a piece of clothing and ran out after the little boy. At this moment, there was a burst of panic and fear on this beautiful face, especially when Lei stood up straight and stood in front of her like a bear.
When she did, the little girl's face was filled with panic.
Lei looked at this little girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old. His heart was beating like a drum, and he was stunned for a moment. After a while, he suddenly sneezed loudly and untied himself casually.
The cloak was put on the little girl who was already trembling. Lei lifted Lin who was standing next to him in a daze with one hand, patted his head with his big hand, and laughed: "Boy, don't run around anymore. Today
Fortunately, I pull the horse quickly, otherwise you would be out of luck."
Lin shouted loudly: "It's my fault for running around, but you shouldn't run so fast on the streets of the imperial capital."
Lei was speechless for a moment, but the little girl had already yelled: "Lin, shut up, who wants you to talk?" She looked at Lei cautiously, and squeezed out a smile: "Sir, this, you, you
Your body is not injured, right? If, if you feel something is wrong, would you like to see a doctor? "
Lei laughed inexplicably. He laughed loudly: "Haha, how is it possible? How could something happen to me? Haha, no matter how hard the impact is ten times, it can't hurt me. If you don't believe it, look." Lei put Lin down and let him go.
With one punch, he unintentionally unleashed 30% of his fighting spirit. A twenty-foot-wide section of the wall behind him was smashed to pieces by his fist, and a dozen big trees inside were also smashed by the powerful force.
The fist wind was shattered.
Karub and the others had arrived at the scene a long time ago, but they seemed to have noticed something. They all stood nearby with strange expressions, but they had no intention of stepping forward to interfere.
The little girl was a little flustered and apologized, while Lei was speechless and stammered for a long time, saying it didn't matter. With Lin interjecting desperately, the three of them made a fuss. It was so easy for Lei to say that he
He was really not hurt, so he persuaded the little girl to go back. Before leaving, the girl hurriedly took off Lei's huge cloak and gave it back to Lei, and Lei took it over honestly without knowing it.
What can I say?
Seeing the two of them walking into the alley, after a long time, Jerry exclaimed loudly in a deliberately glib voice: "Oh my god, my god, tsk, tsk, Lei, what's wrong with you? Is your soul being raped by a woman?"
Did the demon steal it?"
Lei quickly turned around and asked: "What? What? What female demon? Where? Hey, Jerry, are you done with your matter? Why are you back so soon? Ah?"
Jerry said with a strange expression: "Well, luckily I moved quickly and came back quickly, otherwise how could I have seen such a good show? It turns out that our General Lei can not only find women in the pink fairy, but also love
Is it from the Master? But, that’s right, Lei, you are not young anymore, and you are not like me, who can enter and exit the boudoir of various beauties at will, so you should just honestly find a girl and fall in love with her.
Already."
Lei shouted loudly: "That's nonsense, I can..."
Jerry rolled his eyes sideways: "You have fallen in love with this little girl. At least you have a crush on her."
Lei yelled: "No."
"have."
"No."
"I swear, you have a crush on her."
"I swear, no."
"You're talking nonsense, you don't mean what you say. Damn it, I despise your behavior. Lei, you must have fallen in love with her, otherwise..."
"What else? I absolutely didn't."
"Damn it, if you hadn't fallen in love with me, how could you have knocked down the wall of my house in a daze? This is my wall, you damn guy."
Lei opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he made a rude gesture and said viciously: "Whatever you say, I don't have a crush on her. Such a young girl, he
Damn it, I will fall in love with her? Humph, forget it if you don’t believe it.”
Jerry deliberately clicked his tongue a few times and said in a weird voice: "Lei, the flowers are so beautiful that they need to be cut off..."
Lei let out a loud sigh, looked at the bloody mark on the top of his horse with some distress, caressed it a few times, and gently pulled it towards his home.
Jerry looked at Kalub and Gosia and whispered: "I swear, this kid Lei is in love. I bet, if nothing hinders him in the past two days, he will definitely go to that chick.
I'll bet a thousand gold coins."
Karub said angrily: "Fifteen hundred gold coins, as long as anything disturbs you in the past two days, you will definitely forget what happened today. Haha..."
Gosia said faintly: "It seems so. Our lord, his head seems not to work very well sometimes. I bet 2,000 gold coins. If there are no other matters that bother you, your lord will definitely go find that little woman."
Groot exclaimed: "Oh, we all bet on this, so who is betting with us?"
Jerry and Gosia said in unison: "Of course it's Loma, his father is rich now... Ha, that kid just happens to be away. We'll just tell him the result when the time comes. Just treat it as ours."
Earn some pocket money."
Lei was already shouting: "Damn it, what are you doing? Why don't you come here?"
Jerry shrunk his neck, looked at his wall that had been blasted by Lei's punch, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Damn it, I bet 20,000 gold coins, I want that boy Lomart to break his fortune.
Damn it, don’t I need money to repair my fence?”
Karub and the others also laughed sinisterly at the same time: "Then, our bet will be multiplied ten times. Anyway, Loma is rich now."
A group of people laughed sinisterly. Jerry and the others swaggered past their shabby wall and followed Ray to the door of his mansion. Lomat's father was wearing a luxurious fur coat and smiling broadly.
When they were there to greet them, Lei had already jumped off his horse, rushed over and hugged him heavily.
Jerry's face was full of smiles: "Ha, I have decided. This winter, I will move to Lei's house. Compared with my own home, it is much more humane."
