Soldiers wearing black armor lined up neatly across the dying streets. There was silence everywhere they passed. All the residents living on both sides of the street looked at these soldiers in silence.
After this group of soldiers passed by, the street was quiet for a long time, and then there was some noise. Then it gradually became noisy, but in any case it could not be compared with the prosperity of the past.
Because everyone is deliberately lowering their voices, as if they are afraid of disturbing or offending someone.
They are now a subjugated people, and those who have just passed by are the conquerors who destroyed the ruling class of their country.
"The tigers and wolves of Guy Country!" In the streets of the city, someone looked at the direction that the group of soldiers had just walked, with hatred in their eyes.
War will bring death. When the army of the Guy Kingdom enters this city, it means that the army resisting them has been defeated.
"Shut up, your brother is already dead, do you still want to drag our whole family to die with him?"
But as soon as the man spoke in a lowered voice, a strong woman next to him slapped him in the face.
Under this slap, a red handprint suddenly appeared on his face. The young man clenched his fists, pulled at the extremely uncomfortable robe he was wearing, and said nothing.
"Go, send your nephews to school, don't get in the way here."
"We are from the country of Neil and should not learn the language of the country of Guy." Upon hearing his sister-in-law's instructions, the young man suddenly showed a look of indignation on his face.
"The country of Neil has been destroyed, and now we are from the country of Guy." The woman grabbed the thick wooden stick on the side. She could guarantee that if her brother-in-law said anything that would cause trouble, she would never leave any more people under her command.
.
"We are from Neil country." The young man looked at the wooden stick in his sister-in-law's hand and couldn't help but shrink his neck, but he still muttered stubbornly.
call!
After hearing what she said, the woman didn't say a word, picked up the stick in her hand, and hit the boy in front of her head and head with a blow, but it seemed like she was hitting him randomly, but in fact, she hit a lot of places on the boy's head.
Therefore, although the boy was beaten until he screamed, he only suffered some skin injuries in the end, and he recovered after a few rests.
"Tell me, which country are you from now?" The woman who had beaten her brother-in-law held the wooden stick in her hand and stared at the boy with extremely fierce eyes.
"Guy...Guy countryman." Under the pressure of his sister-in-law's gaze, the young man whispered reluctantly.
"Isn't that right?" After hearing the boy's answer, the woman nodded with satisfaction.
"Sister-in-law, you are like this again. When those officials asked us to wear their country's clothes, you were like this too." The surrendered young man complained to his sister-in-law with some dissatisfaction.
"I don't bi) You put it on. Do you think you can survive until now? Look at what happened to those people who refused to put on the clothes of the Gay Kingdom. They were all arrested and dug in the soil. Do you want to follow?
Shall we go digging together?"
"I don't want to." The young man shook his head subconsciously. He remembered what happened when Guy's army entered the city. All those who resisted, including their family members, were arrested and sent to serve in the so-called corvee.
It is said that these people will be demoted as slaves, and some of the able-bodied ones will be used as slaves by those who have been awarded military honors in Guy's country.
"If you don't want to, hurry up and send your nephew to school. They must learn the language of Guy Country before they are ten years old, and you must follow suit."
The woman told the young man that she had no sense of identity with her own country, and the only thing she resented about Guy's country was that her husband was killed by Guy's soldiers.
But now that she has two children, she can only bury her hatred deeply. Her children must become Gay citizens in order to live a good life.
"I don't want to learn. The language of Gay country is too difficult to learn." There was a look of reluctance on the young man's face.
"I want to learn, but it's not appropriate for me to go to school at my age. Go learn it quickly and come back to teach me after you learn it."
"Oh." After the young man heard what his sister-in-law said, he immediately got up and rubbed his butt while going home to prepare to send his two little nephews to school.
…
"Historical books and biographies of Neil Country. These are the weapons that our army explicitly ordered to hand over for destruction after entering the city. However, so many were found in your home. What do you think should be done with this matter?
?”
The officer in black armor asked an old man who seemed to be in good health in an elegantly decorated hall, pointing to a pile of books half a person high in front of him.
"I am from the country of Niel. I collect the biographies of historical figures from the country of Niel. What's wrong with that?" Upon hearing this question, the old man suddenly roared angrily.
"Haha, old sir, I have to remind you that this is the land of Guy Country. If you live here, you are a member of Guy Country. Do you understand?" the officer said with a smile.
"I'm from Neil." The old man replied firmly, showing no signs of weakness.
"Old sir, before you say these words, you'd better think about your family first." The officer pointed to a group of old, young, women and children who were holding each other and shivering at the side with swords pointed at by soldiers. All of them were like this.
Relatives of an elderly person.
"Is this the way you do in Guy's country? You actually use your relatives to threaten me, an old man."
"No, no, no, this is not a threat, it is just a friendly reminder. With your current behavior, I can completely demote your whole family into slaves."
"What do you want?" the old man asked with a livid face.
"I heard that sir, you are knowledgeable and proficient in the languages of the surrounding countries. I would like to hire you as a teacher in the school to teach local children the language of Guy."
The officer smiled and said his reason for coming. This old man had a very high prestige in the local area. If he could be persuaded to teach in the school, he could further strengthen the rule of Guy's country here.
"Impossible." The old man refused without even thinking about it.
"You are dim-sighted and deaf. Maybe you didn't hear the order we issued, so we can pretend we didn't see the ** found in your home." The officer seemed not to have heard what the old man said.
"But if you don't cooperate, don't blame us for being serious with you."
"You destroyed my country, and now you want to destroy our writing and customs. You are trying to cut off our roots. I will never surrender to you."
The old man was so angry that he stood up from his seat. He saw everything that Guy's army did after the invasion. He stopped civilians from learning or using the original writing, abolished the original currency system, and units of measurement.
Promote Guy's language, writing, customs, clothing, currency, and units of measurement nationwide.
"The Neer Kingdom has been exterminated, and everything they had originally will naturally be wiped out along with it. This is the general trend."
Seeing that the old man always had this attitude of being indifferent, the smile on the officer's face gradually disappeared, "If you cooperate with us, then everything will be easy to talk about, but if you still have this attitude, I can only
You have chosen to implement the laws of our Kingdom of Guy. I advise you to be wiser. You probably don’t want to see your relatives become prostitutes and slaves!"
"You..." The old man suddenly trembled with anger. He turned his head and stared at his relatives, then turned away and closed his eyes. "No matter what, I will never cooperate."
"Haha, it's really rare to have such a tough-minded person like you."
"That really disappoints you." The old man retorted.
"But no matter how hard your bones are, what's the use?" the officer smiled nonchalantly, "and do you really think that I don't have any way to deal with an old stubborn like you?"
"Which of you wants to be a slave, stand up." The officer slowly walked up to the old man's relatives. No one moved, and everyone looked at the ordinary-looking black-armored officer with fear on their faces.
"You all want to keep your current life and continue living, right?" The officer smiled brightly, "In this case, why don't you go and persuade your old man to cooperate with us."
"My grandfather has a stubborn temper, and what he decides is beyond our control." At this time, a child with some soft yellow hair on his upper lip said timidly.
"Then there's nothing we can do." The officer shook his head pretending to be pity. When the group of old, young, women and children saw this cruel officer's attitude, the fear on their faces became even stronger.
"Of course, it's not impossible. If your old man doesn't cooperate, you can cooperate with us."
"You bastard, what do you want to do?" The old man heard the officer's words and saw the strange expressions on the faces of his children and grandchildren. His face suddenly turned red.
"I'm not doing anything, just using your reputation to make this city more peaceful." The officer waved his hand, and two sergeants immediately came forward, grabbed the old man, and dragged him to the house behind.
"If you dare..." The old man who was dragged away looked at his relatives and wanted to issue a warning, but as soon as he said a few words, a ball of rags was stuffed into his mouth.
"What you will do next is not too complicated. It is to accompany us officers to go out to eat, take a walk, and chat along the way."
The officer ordered, recalling everything he had learned in the military academy, how to use local celebrities or the power of local snakes to better rule after the war.
"Well, young lady, I wonder how old you are? Are you married? I have a nephew..." After the officer gave the instructions for a moment, his eyes fell on a young girl. His eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea in his mind...
