"Hell, hell on earth... They massacred indiscriminately, not even sparing children or the elderly. There were corpses everywhere in the city, and the blood dyed the Rinske River red."
"The city tower collapsed, and the soldiers defending the city were unable to resist. They fled and died. It is said that the only one standing on the city wall in the end was the general who was defending the city. He was a truly polished commander."
"Girl, girl, haha, so exciting..."
"I fucked a noble girl, it was so comfortable! I have never enjoyed the service of a noble girl in my life. Her fair and tender skin, tall and straight..."
When Rhodes, Caroline, Edmund, and Digel arrived at Erengrad, the place was in ruins. The Kislev coalition had blasted away Erengrad three days ago.
The gate of Germany, and under the order of the Snow Queen, entered the city to massacre. Rhodes learned the situation from the soldiers and officers... Some people showed extreme self-blame after massacring the city, while some people were still thinking about that.
A bloody massacre...
"The last high elf merchant ship left the port the night before the massacre. It is said that the elves made harsh words and said they would never set foot in Kislev again..."
The Iron Ring Fort soldiers who participated in the massacre said so.
Rhodes asked Alves again. He also participated in the massacre. He just didn't do it himself...
"You can't imagine such a scene. Those soldiers were all crazy. They killed people for money, raped women, and even little girls were spared. In short, in that environment, everyone went crazy. You know
, this is not only a massacre, but also a plunder. The people involved are like wild beasts, hoping to share as much as possible. In the eyes of the soldiers, the citizens of Erlengrad after the city was broken are like prey, and their
Property is the trophies of the soldiers. Looting...if plundering fails, killing...is normal..."
"The refugees fled to the three temples. The Daha Temple gathered the most people and sheltered the most civilians. I guess there were at least 3,000 people there. The people surrounding the hilltop squeezed their heads, and finally the priest opened the bronze door
Closing it stopped the refugees from crossing the border. They wanted to shelter more civilians, but there was no way. The number of people a temple could accommodate was limited. I know that the priests tried their best."
"The Temple of Thor and the Temple of Esun also protected a lot of people, and it seemed that there were at least one or two thousand people. The Sarlacc Monastery was not so lucky... It was hit by a stone, and the ceiling collapsed. The soldiers rushed in,
They were burning, killing, and looting, and even the priests couldn't stop them... Some priestesses were even pulled out of the cycle... They were not afraid of being punished by God, because they didn't believe in gods in the first place..."
Alves sighed. Rhodes discovered that those sanctimonious people were now bloodthirsty beasts, and this dwarf, who was less than 1.2 meters tall, was a kind person at the moment. It was a pity that they still mocked the dwarf after looting.
Ichiban, saying that he can't grab anything, can't get a share of the pie. The evil of human nature only needs to find a special environment, and it will be completely released...
"But in the end, the queen preserved the lives of one-third of the people. Maybe she didn't want the city to be completely wiped out, or maybe she needed some people to deal with the densely packed corpses. In short, she finally allowed some people to survive, and
In fact, these people have already shown hungry faces and are shivering in the cold wind. Alas, what kind of war is this? One's own people killing one's own people? Perhaps in the Queen's eyes, these people are not human beings at all..."
Alves said meaningfully.
"What about those corpses? How to deal with the corpses of tens of thousands of people?"
Rhodes asked.
"That's exactly what I'm going to tell you. What's strange is that Catalina didn't order the bodies to be burned, but asked the remaining refugees to dig holes and fill them up. She clearly knew that,
In our land, the dead are rampant... There are also many wizards who can pull the dead from their graves..."
Alves whispered, and Rhodes nodded knowingly. They knew very well that they had long suspected the Snow Queen's true identity.
Vampires need living people to give birth to them, but at the same time, the dead are the most loyal...
Rhodes just took a breath. I wonder how many undead have been added to Kislev in the past few years since Catalina became a vampire...
In this massacre alone, tens of thousands of creatures were sleeping underground. One day Catalina could wake them up if she needed to. This is what is truly terrifying about the Snow Queen.
“What’s next for this city?”
Rhodes frowned and asked.
"I don't know. It is said that Catalina plans to keep the remaining tens of thousands of people here to rebuild the city. Later, she will immigrate the people from Kislev City here and become the new owners of the city. And these diggers will
Those who collect the corpses and rebuild the city... I guess our queen will have her own arrangements by then..." Alves continued with an ugly look on his face. "According to past practices, it is estimated that these people will be sent away by then.
They are working as coolies in mines and farms across the country. In short, they have no hope in this life. Apart from living like slaves, there is no hope for anything else."
Alves said, unable to help but look sad.
Rhodes was full of emotions. Those murderous executioners were proud of their lives on brocade carriages, but those who really cared about the country and the people were laughed at as clowns...
Rhodes knew that Catalina kept these 30,000 people alive for a reason. They were a labor force. As long as they were given a sip of water and a sip of food, they could do a lot of things. And they didn't dare to cause trouble anymore, because the people above could do anything at any time.
You can take their lives... just like animals, you can do whatever you want.
The reconstruction of a city cannot be done without labor force. At the same time, after the baptism, Erengrad will become the apple of the queen's eye. Yes, she will be able to bring her people in without any resistance. No noble alliance can stop her anymore.
.A rebellion, although tens of thousands of people died, but it also reorganized Kislev...even unknowingly, the strength of the North was weakened. The battle with the Blood Hand Mercenary Group
Here, most of the casualties were soldiers from the north, while the Central Army of Kislev served as a reserve force at the back...
After the reconstruction of Orengrad, immigrants from the capital city of Kislev can just reduce the pressure of dense population in the capital. At least, the unemployment rate has been reduced. A new pattern has been formed. It may take five years to return to its original vitality.
It will take six years, or more. But the Queen can afford to wait. Her lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people... And those dead, those buried underground, are her reserve army...
