The charisma of the Demonic Orc is really impressive, and when he surrendered to Reggie, this charisma got a new boost.
Prior to this, the demon orcs had collaborated with the evil spirits, which made other orcs wary.
But now Kui Sha has become a local lord under Reggie. Everyone knows that orcs have the opportunity to become generals in Suixue Country. Who can resist such an attraction?
In less than three months, 20,000 orcs gathered on Blackstone Island. Most of them were escaped slaves and came with the dream of getting ahead. However, the soot of Blackstone Island directly suppressed their dreams to the ground.
The desolate island, the sky full of coal dust, the roaring machinery, and the explosive explosions of gunpowder from time to time, the scene here is simply a living hell.
They met the orc master they had dreamed of, which was the only surprise in hell, but Kui Sha didn't say much.
"My tribe, I am very ashamed. I do not have the power to save you, so I can only entrust you to Emperor Suixue. Patience is temporary, pain is temporary, and the happiness and glory of the orcs will eventually come."
These words are profound and harsh, but there is nothing wrong with them.
Patience and pain are not wrong. All new orcs must work on Blackstone Island for at least two years.
Happiness and glory will eventually come, and it is true that in two years, they will become free citizens of Broken Snow City and can freely move to any territory to live.
But to Shansha's ears, these words sounded like he was encouraging the orcs to rebel.
Shan Sha is still the governor of Black Rock Island. Although Kui Sha has become the lord of Black Rock Island, he does not have actual power.
After listening to the brief speech, the orcs immediately went to work. Their task was very difficult because Reggie discovered a serious planning flaw and chose the wrong location to produce steel.
Blackstone Island is only a five-day flight from the White Tower Kingdom. Building the smelting plant here and transporting the produced steel to Shattering Snow City will greatly reduce transportation costs.
Three kilns have been installed on Black Rock Island, and Reggie's plan is to build twenty. The top priority right now is not coal mining, but the continued construction of the smelter.
After eating a fairly sumptuous lunch and wearing the uniforms issued to them, the orcs felt a familiar smell, which was no different from when they were slaves.
A young orc named Gangka shouted: "Where are the shackles, put them on us, I don't want to wait until you crack the whip!"
He felt that he had been cheated, and all the new orcs felt the same. They still had to face a slave-like life, and their orc king did not yet have the ability to save them.
Gangka shouted several times but received no response. A worker in his thirties said: "Are you very strong? Save it for use on the construction site!"
As a newcomer who did not know any skills, Gangka could only do the simple job of transporting stones, carrying heavy stones to a wheelbarrow, and then transporting them to the construction site one trip at a time.
After every cart of stones was delivered, Gangka would get a bamboo stick. He didn't know what the use of this thing was, and he would often stab himself in the thigh when he put it in his trouser pocket.
He wanted to find a place to throw away the bamboo sticks, but the older worker stopped him.
"And throw them away, these bamboo sticks are very important, they are the fruits of your labor."
"This is proof of work, right?" Gangka sneered, "How many bamboo sticks do I need to save to have dinner?"
"There will definitely be dinner, but these bamboo sticks can help you exchange for copper coins."
Gangka raised his head and looked around: "What's the use of copper coins in this damn place? Even if you earn it, why don't you just give it to the big bosses?"
"There are no big bosses here. The money you earn belongs only to you, and there are places to buy things here. Did you see that shop? Although there are not many things, there is always what you want."
After a busy afternoon, Gangka got forty bamboo sticks in exchange for four silver coins.
"Damn it, a bamboo stick can be exchanged for ten copper coins. If I had known this was the case, I would have spent more effort."
After dinner, he went to the shop, and the handsome shopkeeper sold him a series of products. The young Gangka obviously couldn't resist the temptation, so he spent one and a half silver coins, bought a lot of things, and returned to the construction site.
He spread a blanket and a pillow under the eaves of the factory and prepared to have a good sleep. He only slept on the blanket once, and he had never even touched a pillow.
The feeling was so comfortable that Gangka quickly fell asleep, but not long after he slept, he was woken up by the annoying worker.
"Why are you sleeping here?"
Gangka was very angry when he got up. He grabbed the worker and said angrily: "I have already occupied this place. What do you want? Do you want a fight?"
"You've got it? You idiot, let's see if anyone can rob it with you?"
"You're the idiot!" Gangka pushed the worker away, but found that there was no one else. It seemed that he was the only one sleeping on the construction site.
"We have our own dormitory."
"What is a dormitory?"
"It's just a place to sleep. I sleep in the same room as you. I'm afraid that the days ahead will be too boring, otherwise I wouldn't talk so much nonsense to you!"
Gangka looked at the other person straightly. He felt that he was really ignorant. He was shocked by the momentum of this worker.
"There is a special place to sleep. Are you afraid that we might escape?"
"The ship is right there. You can leave if you don't want to, but you can't step into the Snow Country again!" The worker looked at the blankets and pillows just stuck and frowned, "These things have been given to you, why do you still want to buy them?
?You must have been deceived by that black-hearted woman Avila, come with me!"
Gangka followed the workers to the staff dormitory, which was a three-story building with forty rooms on each floor.
Their room is not spacious, with two beds and two tables taking up basically all the space.
But this is a residence that Gangka could not even dream of. The bed alone has completely conquered him.
It was a wooden bed, very hard, only more than four feet wide, with clean and thick bedding placed on it.
The moment he lay on the bed, Gangka felt that his life had a new meaning. He decided to entrust everything for the rest of his life to this narrow dormitory and this warm bed, provided that the annoying worker got out of here.
But instead of leaving, he once again ruined Gangka's dream.
"Don't sleep. It's time for evening classes. If you miss class, your wages will be deducted."
"What is evening class?"
"I just teach you how to read."
"Why should I study?"
"You have no choice. This is the rule of the Broken Snow Kingdom," the worker sighed. "I went to Blackstone Island to work as a coolie just because I was not good at studying."
"Aren't you a slave?"
"There are no slaves in Broken Snow Country. I am a farmer in Broken Snow City. My name is Anda. My father's name is Yaman. He has a lot of land. I am his eldest son and his property will eventually belong to me."
Gangka said in astonishment: "You are already a citizen of Broken Snow Country? Why do you still come to this ghost place?"
"Because I don't want to follow that old guy all my life. I want to use my hands to get everything I want."
