After hearing Orshiga's words, Jem couldn't help but feel relieved a little, and he breathed out slowly.
But what the other person said next made him hesitate again.
"I have heard about this war. The Principality of Yal has invested a total of 140,000 troops. As of now, there are still about 100,000 troops left. I require that at least 70,000 people be transported to the island by then.
If there are not enough prisoners, you can find a way to collect them for me." After finishing speaking, Orshiga asked democratically: "Do you have any opinions?"
"good……"
After thinking for a while, Jim finally agreed to Orshiga's request.
If it weren't for the recent demands of the Kingdom of Ar, which have become more and more excessive, James Watts wouldn't have asked Orshiga for help, so he had no choice from the beginning.
Even if he really didn't understand how his 60,000 to 70,000 troops could defeat the 100,000 people on the opposite side, and successfully captured at least 70,000 of them.
We can only place our hopes on the fact that Orshika is strong enough...
------
Watching his leaving figure, Orshika gently shook the teacup in her hand, and a smile appeared on her lips.
The first phase of experiments has just been completed, and the second phase of test products have already arrived, which is quite timely.
He could feel that Jem was not being honest, and was vaguely testing something. It seemed that after a few months of recuperation, he felt that he was good again. The pride of the royal family made him want to be a little bit shy.
But I knew it, but Orshika didn't take this little thing to heart.
There was no sincere loyalty, only threats and use. Where did the betrayal come from?
Furthermore, "betrayal" is a matter of course for demons, and "selling teammates" is completely routine in their lives.
So Orshiga didn't care about the specific actions of his subordinates at all. He didn't trust them from the beginning, so why did he care so much?
As long as you can complete your instructions, it doesn't matter what little actions you make, it's just a game anyway...
Opening the window and looking at the night in the sky, Orshiga sighed in a low voice: "I have always maintained this human form. I haven't been active for a long time. I really want to fight with others."
After several months of research, he continued to absorb all kinds of knowledge to fill his own background. Although it was not boring, the nature of the devil still made him feel a little tired.
However, he has also gained a lot. If his knowledge accumulation before was at the stage of illiteracy, then now he should be one of the more outstanding ones at the same level. All kinds of knowledge and insights have basically caught up with his own strength, which can be regarded as a complete compensation.
address its own shortcomings.
-------
Pierce had a haggard complexion, his body was as thin as a skeleton, and his skin had gray spots that looked like mold.
Lying on the cold floor of the prison, he stared blankly at the candlelight that had not been extinguished after months of burning in the room.
He felt that his hands and feet were not in control, his mind was not clear, and his whole body was numb and weak. When he moved his body even a little, he felt a severe pain that felt like it was about to fall apart, as if his whole body was about to split.
He couldn't even crawl over to eat food not far away, so he could only lie down and not move.
He understood that he was going to die, just like everyone else, with no difference in the final outcome.
He had forgotten how long he had spent in this place where he could not see the sky. He only remembered that when the disease had not yet taken effect, there were many people trying to escape from here. Everyone was discussing in a lively manner, and even fought for
Decide whose method to use and fight.
From tricking the red-haired young man to open the cell door, to everyone violently opening the door at the same time!
But they all failed without any suspense. The red-haired young man only came once and never came again. Except for someone throwing food in through the small passage every once in a while, no one took care of it at all. It seemed that
They have all been forgotten.
Brute force has no real meaning at all. The quality of this damn cage is really good.
The railing didn't even bend from beginning to end, which made people feel desperate.
Just when everyone felt that they had been forgotten and were being treated like pigs, the nightmare still happened.
At first, there was only one person who felt severe pain all over his body. Faint gray spots began to appear on his body. He felt weak all over and even had difficulty walking. Then not long after, the number of people suffering from the same symptoms began to increase slowly, until finally everyone
Gray spots appeared on people's bodies.
Faced with this result, whether it is a [Knight] or a [Great Knight], they all end up with the same fate!
He could only lie on the ground and cry out in pain like a sick dog.
That kind of severe pain is not fixed. At the beginning, the pain was so painful that it made people unable to live or die. It caused several prisoners with the weakest will to directly choose to commit suicide.
Then the pain weakened at an extremely fast speed and became within the tolerance range of ordinary people. However, it continued to strengthen as time went by, as if it was automatically adjusting according to the patient's reaction, deliberately prolonging the patient's life.
life.
Pierce still remembers that the first person to discover this problem was named Hank, a middle-aged man with an average appearance and a thin build. It is said that he was also a master thief!
After that guy realized this, it didn't take long for him to team up with a prisoner named Hutto, sneak attack on another prisoner with the strength of [Great Knight], and kill the other prisoner directly, using the hardest bone in his body.
, trying to grind out a key that can open the lock of the prison door and escape from this hellish place.
But in the end he failed!
Since the door lock was facing away from everyone, he could not see the door lock at all, so he could only make judgments based on his own experience. In the end, the key got stuck in the key hole and broke directly inside, completely blocking it.
die.
And his own body is now lying not far from Pierce, dying not peacefully, and trying to struggle in the end.
That is to say, the basement is very dark and cool, and as a strong man of the [Knight] level, the body has some special characteristics, otherwise ordinary people would have rotted away.
At this moment, Pierce was the only living person left in the cage. Those who were stronger than him and those who were weaker than him were all dead.
Instead, he is the only one with mediocre strength who is still surviving!
He didn't know the reason, but he knew that he was going to die soon, maybe in the next moment...
I heard that many people recall their lives before they die. After thinking about it, Pierce decided to follow the tradition.
So I closed my eyes and began to recall my past.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips, and slowly raised his middle finger to the ceiling of the cage with all his strength:
"What a piece of shit..."
Before he finished speaking, his heartbeat had stopped.
His words may refer to his own life, or they may refer to others.
Orshika, who was far away in another corner of the manor, seemed to have heard his last words when he died. She shrugged her shoulders and laughed softly: "Shit is not bad. At least it has its own meaning. It won't."
Some people want to step on them a few times. Many people's lives are meaningless until they die. One more person is not more, and one less person is not less. After stepping on him, others will not even think of looking at him, not even a single thought.
They are worse than pieces of shit, disgusting people have no value, maybe they can only be regarded as air?"
"I don't know if I can be the final winner and stand at the top of countless dimensions in the world, but I want to live out my own meaning. It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad. I want to put my name on the world.
The entire multiverse, even if it cannot be admired by people for eternity, it will still be feared by all things forever and ever, and become a disaster that no one can forget."
After stretching out his fingers and dipping some tea in the tea cup in front of him, the magic power in Orshiga's body wrapped them up, forming a crystal clear blood-colored drop of water standing on his fingertips.
With a gentle flick, the water droplets flew deep into the clouds,
Rumble…
Along with the muffled thunder in the sky, the sky where no stars could be seen was completely shrouded by clouds, turning into a pitch-black night. Only when the thunder and lightning in the clouds continued to swim, would they be revealed.
A little brilliance.
There was sporadic drizzle at first, and then it turned into heavy rain very quickly.
And what's different from ordinary rain is that they are red, as if blood is falling in the sky, dyeing the entire royal capital red, causing waves of screams.
Feeling the blood-colored rain streaking across his face, Orshiga's eyes unconsciously showed a little red light. He closed his eyes slightly and whispered to himself: "It seems that I have been suppressing it for a long time.
There will be some inexplicable emotion, so let’s just treat it as a farewell for you experimental subjects..."
-------
The Principality of Marton, in the royal palace.
"Damn..."
Looking at the rain of blood outside the window and the panicked and shouting crowds, Jim Watts' face was extremely ugly. This kind of vision was completely unacceptable at the critical moment when he was about to have a decisive battle with the Principality of Yar.
It can be called an ominous sign.
It will greatly disrupt the public morale and military morale of the Marton Principality!
This could be regarded as a major blow to the Principality of Marton. What made him even more furious and wanted to vomit blood was that he had roughly guessed who was responsible for this bloody rain, but he had no idea.
There was nothing I could do about it, he couldn't help but look so ugly.
Baron Duke, who was on the side, saw his master's face looking so ugly. After thinking about it, his eyes lit up and he suggested: "Why don't you postpone the date of the decisive battle? Let's use some time to win back some public opinion and put this bloodshed to a better end."
The rain is described as God’s encouragement to us, and it is said to be a sign of good luck?”
After hearing what Baron Duke said, Jim was also stunned.
‘Can raining blood from the sky be said to be a good omen?’
Even he has never thought about this problem!
‘Can such an operation still be possible?’
After some careful consideration, he found that it was indeed possible to operate in this way. After all, although it looked ominous, there was no book that stated that this was an ominous sign!
Now that I have made up some story and said it is a good omen, what can anyone do to me?
After thinking about the clue, Jim Watts was overjoyed and asked Duke to hurry up and make up a story, preferably one with a very touching plot, and then arrange for people to memorize the story and sneak it into the streets tomorrow morning.
to share the story they just made up in the form of rumors!
