Soon after, Su Bai and the others finally rushed into the residential area before the imperial minions arrived.
Not surprisingly, they were arrested along with the residents here.
Groups of people were driven towards the area where the giant round stone was.
In that area, Lopez was driving a mecha floating in the sky far away, looking coldly at the laborers who had migrated in like a colony of ants, and said coldly on the communication channel.
"not enough."
Han Jie's voice sounded on the communication channel.
"It's the legion commander."
Immediately, Han Jie led some of the Magic Energy Legion troops and flew towards the south side of the Abandoned Land. They wanted to drive another group over from further areas. Basically all the people near the Abandoned Mining Area were captured, and nearby
There is not much labor left.
In the next three days, a steady stream of laborers were driven over every day.
The number of laborers gathered reached millions.
Of course, the Astor Empire does not have such a long chain for all of them to pull at the same time.
But the reason why they summoned so many laborers is also very simple, for rotation! If there is only one group of laborers, they can't pull them very far at all. The distance between the abandoned land and the capital of God is more than 600 kilometers.
Even if I wasn't pulling anything, it would still be a long journey to complete the 600 kilometers. Not to mention pulling such an overweight thing, and no machine could help.
The leader of the Sinful Bones Army, Romagos, looked at the gathering of laborers. But Lopez showed no sign of leaving, and his expression became more and more gloomy.
You must know that this escort mission was assigned to him by the emperor, and now things have gone wrong. If he delays further and fails to reach the imperial capital by the designated time, he will definitely be punished.
"Sir, we don't have much time."
The adjutant next to him also said eagerly.
"I see."
Rodriguez replied calmly.
Then Rodriguez walked towards Lopez, and soon he was in front of Lopez.
"Sir Lopez, I think the manpower is almost gathered, and it's time to set off. We have been delayed long enough before, and it is not a good thing to keep the emperor waiting for too long."
Lopez just looked at Rodriguez coldly and replied coldly.
"Not enough manpower."
Hearing Lopez's words, Romagos's heart burned with rage. This guy definitely did it on purpose. He gathered so many people and couldn't say enough!
If he couldn't fall out now, he would never be polite.
Romagos suppressed his emotions and replied.
"There are enough people gathered. Judging from the current scale, it is at least over a million."
"A bunch of fish."
"Then how many people do you want to leave?"
"Are you in a hurry? It's okay if we set off now. If they can't pull them back, let your army go up."
"Hello...."
Romagos had veins popping out on his forehead, but he finally swallowed it.
After receiving the response from Rodriguez, Lopez raised his hand and gave the order.
"leave."
"yes!"
Han Jie, who had been waiting behind him, responded respectfully.
Soon the imperial soldiers walked up and began to drive the first batch of laborers up, asking them to pull the chain locks. At the same time, there were many ropes tied to the chain locks and stretched out to attract as many laborers as possible.
Unfortunately, Su Bai and the others were among them, so the three of them had no choice but to go up and pull out the heavy chain.
The imperial minions wandering around were holding electric whips in their hands and scolding him fiercely.
"Listen to me. If anyone is lazy, he will be executed on the spot."
Su Bai's expression was a little strange. He had the illusion that he was back in prison doing hard labor. It seemed that in the Astor Empire, there was not much difference between the people at the bottom and the prisoners in the prison.
Everything will be ready soon.
Under the joint command of a famous herald soldier, all laborers began to pull hard at the same time!
"Hey!"
...
The round boulder covered with knots stirred and began to move forward.
Of course, they did not pull the round boulder directly. During the time when labor was called for, the people of the Astor Empire were not idle either. They transported a huge pallet forged from meteorites, and the bottom of the pallet was fixed
There were rows of giant meteorite iron pillars that resembled rolling logs, and they fixed the round boulder on the pallet.
But even at this speed, the movement is not very fast. I can barely see, but it is also very strenuous.
This can be seen from Su Bai. Su Bai's face was tense and every step he took was laborious.
"Can you hold it?"
Di Jahalu was a little worried and asked Su Bai and Ren Jiaken in a low voice.
"To be honest, if we were to compete with you, we would definitely not be able to hold on, but compared with other laborers, we will have no problem. As long as we can hold on until the large area of labor can no longer bear it, we will naturally change people, so don't worry."
Su Bai replied while pulling.
"When we take turns to rest, we will find a way to change positions, find Denido and the others, and join them."
"good."
Su Bai responded.
Sure enough, after pulling for almost half an hour, the speed dropped significantly, and many laborers began to fall to the ground unable to hold up.
At first, the soldiers did not hesitate to go up and beat him to death.
However, after beating another batch to death, they found that the speed did not increase, but became slower, so they blew a special whistle.
All the labor stopped and people were replaced.
Su Bai felt that his arms were numb, this work was quite difficult.
According to the number of laborers summoned, if there are no accidents, they will be replaced every five times, so it is barely bearable. Of course, those with weak constitutions will be told separately. The first round is over, and there will be no accidents.
Hundreds of people, Su Bai and the others could see the supervising soldiers dragging the bodies and throwing them out.
Seven days later, on the desolate land, countless hard laborers pulled on the chains and trudged forward step by step.
Su Bai tiredly followed the migrating troops. Although he could take turns to rest, he couldn't lie down and rest when taking a rest. He still had to follow.
Fortunately, these Astor Empire people are not stingy when it comes to food. They still know very well that if they are not even guaranteed food, all the gathered laborers will probably die of exhaustion in a few days.
"There are too many people, and we can't find Denido and the others at all."
Su Bai lowered his voice and said to Di Jiahalu.
"It doesn't matter. We just need to make sure that the empire's minions won't go crazy and kill people. As long as this stone is transported to the imperial capital, these laborers will be dismissed sooner or later."
Dijahalu replied calmly.
"What you said makes sense."
"but...."
Dijaharu hesitated mid-sentence.
Su Bai looked at Dijahalu with some curiosity. It was rare to see him hesitate.
"What's wrong?"
Dijaharu gritted his teeth and said with red eyes: "The more I think this ghost thing is, the less good it is. How many people have died because of this thing..."
