Chapter 188: I Am a Wicked Man (2)
Slaughter is not an option for us, but a choice we have to make - the Barrier soldiers who carry out the order
Luo Muye originally thought that these underground villagers who were not warriors would have a trace of hesitation, and only a few of them would rush out to die, but what he didn't expect was that almost as soon as the words fell, nearly half of the underground villagers rushed to the surrounding barrier clan warriors, and the sound of bewitchment was still spreading among the villagers. "Everyone, we don't have a choice, these barrier clans want to kill us all, and if we can't escape, we will die, everyone will rush with me!" "Yes, rush out and let's find the people of the Restoration Society to avenge us!" "Everyone together, if you are separated, you will die, and you want to live with me." "There are some voices that can't distinguish the source at all continue to spread among the rioting underground villagers, with the person who took the lead in the attack and the cruel order that Luo Muye just issued really stimulated these underground villagers, it was in such a bewitching and coercive environment, the half of the underground villagers who were still a little hesitant also howled and rushed to the surrounding fortress soldiers, trying to seize their weapons or rush out of the encirclement to seek a way out, if the soldiers of the barrier clan just now were still a little resistant to the order to attack these unarmed villagers, but when the hideous underground villagers were close in front of them, they could only helplessly raise their weapons"Stand back! I'm welcome to come back again!" A young soldier of the Barrier Clan yelled at the villagers of the Underground Clan, but he received a huge fist head-on, knocked him back a few steps, and took away his weapon, seeing that the weapon had been turned upside down, it could be used as a weapon to attack the young soldier at any time, no, the Underground Clan had already smiled and turned the weapon to the other, the young soldier had already seen the bloodthirsty and happy eyes of the attacker, and was in a moment of despair, a short crossbow arrow hit the throat of the attacker as if it was in danger, directly hitting the attacker, and then hit several underground villagers behind him, there was no scream, only the sound of the water bag being punctured, as well as the struggles of the attacker's legs slapping the ground, but this struggle only lasted a few seconds, and only the occasional rise and fall of the chest and the twitching of the cheeks remained, looking at the crossbow arrows that were still trembling slightly in the throat and the underground villagers who were still twitching and bleeding and choking, the two sides of the confrontation fell into a short stagnation for a while, but such a stagnation would not be maintained, and after a second, the two sides who reacted roared as if there was no way to retreat, and collided together.
Although the villagers had shown all their courage, they still seemed extremely small in the face of absolute strength, a village of more than 100 people, only after a few minutes had lost all the able-bodied men, even the women and children had lost more than half, and there were only a dozen or so people huddled together in fear, most of these ten or so people were children, and the only few remaining underground women stood on the outermost side with their arms outstretched, shouting hoarsely at the surrounding fortress soldiers in a language they did not understand. Looking at the innocent and frightened eyes of the children, the fearless eyes of the women of the underground clan in their prayers, the weapons they raised finally stopped only a few steps away from these last underground clans, although they did not lay down their weapons, but the soldiers of the barrier clan who carried out the order, their eyes were full of pain, and many soldiers turned their heads to look at Luo Muye with complicated expressions, as if asking for instructions, at this moment they were a little hesitant The long-standing values made them confused whether they should raise the weapons in their hands. "My lord, this.." Frye reminded Luo Muye beside him with pain on his face, "Kill!" Luo Muye's answer was only a cold word, "But Gru, they are no longer a threat." The anxious Fry couldn't care about the name, and reminded anxiously, "Kill" Luo Muye squinted his eyes and turned his head back with an indifferent word, and his expression was already quite impatient. "Gru!" shouted Frye, "Fry, did you see that green robe? That's the Restoration Inspector! Inspector! What else do you need from me! Do you think I'm comfortable with this order, the slaughter is interesting? But I don't have a choice, I can't gamble with your lives that they won't betray us, as long as one person, as long as one person leaks our news, we will all die, they will all die!" Luo Muye pulled the collar of the already angry and unrespected Fry, leaving his face less than 10 centimeters away from himself, roaring with the same anger, completely ignoring the spit stars that had been sprayed all over Fry's face, and pointed to the soldiers of the barrier clan who were standing in the field who were also dazed, hearing Luo Muye's roar, Fry bit his lip as if he was struggling inside, and after a while, the anger on his face subsided slightly, but his face was still ugly, and he turned his head away for a while before he looked at Luo Muye's eyes, gently pushed Luo Muye away, and said no more, "Attack!" Seeing the herald repeating the previous order with a painful face, the few remaining women of the underground clan had closed their eyes in despair, and those children also expressed their fear with cries, as if their fate had been decided in the next moment, waiting for the arrival of death, "Wait a minute, my lord, please wait a minute!" A voice with a trilling voice sounded, the soldiers of the barrier clan were relieved, and they did not hand over the weapon smartly, but took a step back, Luo Muye frowned when he saw this, and he didn't break it but looked at the person who spoke suspiciously, the person who spoke was the previous underground clan village chief, maybe because he was standing on the stage just now, so after the attack began, he was just held hostage by the surrounding barrier clan and was not attacked, at this time, he was already in tears, he still trembled and walked to Luo Muye and knelt down, " My lord, please listen to me, please. Saying that, he knocked his head down heavily, Luo Muye's voice was as cold as ice, but it made the kowtowing old man ecstatic, "You'd better tell me a reason why I won't kill, do you know why I slaughtered the village?" My lord, I am afraid of revealing the information of your existence, but if you slaughter the entire village, a village with no one is the biggest suspicion, a village where no one goes out again, a village that suddenly does not communicate with people, I am afraid that someone will soon investigate, and the energy of the Restoration Society, I think you know better than me. "There is some truth, but for a while, villages that do not have a living mouth are also safe for us. Luo Muye replied, "Yes, but if you have a few reliable underground clans who always help you keep in touch with the outside world, then my lord, I am afraid that your safety will last longer." The old man lowered his head and whispered, "There is not enough reason, because you are not an underground clan that I can trust." "My lord, although we are not trusted by you, but we are a group that can be coerced, and there are concerns that will not resist, you can see that they did not participate in the resistance just now, and always guarded the children, from here it can be seen that compared to the Liberation Society, compared to the greater righteousness, these women see that the children are their roots, so if they are allowed to go out to buy supplies, but the children are controlled, I think you don't have to worry about the leakage of the news at all, and please think about it from the perspective of a mother." The old man said that in the end, he had already put his head on the ground in pain and waited for Luo Muye's response, and when he heard the last words about his mother, Luo Muye somehow thought of that world, those mothers who carried a ton of cement, those who bent and deformed the backbone, those children who were always under him, those who ran out of a hundred meters and five seconds, snorted, and the corner of his eye glanced at the desperate but unwilling to let go of the underground women. Rubbing his somewhat sour nose, he said to the old man, "Raise your head." The old man raised his head in a hurry, Luo Muye couldn't tell whether the old man's eyes were cloudy or shrewd, but he still sighed and asked slowly, "Tell me, you are still alive, what should you do, where do I put you?" The old man thought for a while, although there was a struggle on his face, and there was some hesitation on his face, but finally he nodded, "I understand, thank you, my lord!" After speaking, he slammed on the ground, bleeding profusely, and soon he was out of breath and cut himself off, Luo Muye sighed lightly and muttered: " You saved their lives, you are a man who understands. "Well, your village chief has exchanged his life for your life, and you can survive from now on, but you have to serve us, soldiers! Divide them into two places, and allow four prayer hours a day for the lookout, and in exchange for you living underground tribes have to take on the task of buying supplies for us, understand?" No one answered, but Luo Muye didn't care, and quickly made corresponding arrangements, and the underground clan who saved his life patted his chest by luck, and was registered and separated by the sergeants of the barrier clan one by one. "The first team is responsible for the vigilance task, the second team is going to set up improvised traps to understand the surrounding situation, and the third team is responsible for the vigilance inside the village. The team on the mission rotates every 4 prayer hours, the others find a place to rest, and the captain-level people come over to me! The others are disbanded!" Luo Muye roared, then turned around and walked towards the largest room.
The leaders of the fortress clan behind him and the human knight leader glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders and left without saying anything.
"Do you think we don't need to carry out a massacre at all?" Luo Muye stood at the door and tilted his head, and when all the captain-level grassroots commanders entered, he kicked the door shut with one kick, turned his head and said with a gloomy expression, due to saving the lives of the last dozen underground clan women and children, the faces of several captains were no longer as painful and grim as before, but they were still not very good-looking, and no one spoke at this time, as if they acquiesced to Luo Muye's question, " Hmph, I know, I don't think you have realized the seriousness of the matter, where are we? Let me tell you, in the core area where the underground clan is most densely defended, you may be attacked at any time and fall into a situation of no return, do you know that at this time, I wish we were all invisible to hide our whereabouts, what do you think I am doing this for?" Luo Muye walked in front of each captain, poked their chests with his finger and said heartily, " There's no need to kill them, they're all unarmed villagers, and it's against chivalry to do so!" the chief of knights frowned and retorted in disagreement, "So I'm not a knight, I never demand myself with knights' demands, I know that I, as a commander, must abandon my conscience and mercy at all times, I... I just want to live, and take my subordinates to live safely, you don't have a deep thought, right, okay, let me analyze it for you, let me ask you how many villagers there are? How many of us are, let's say ten of them want to escape or ventilate, how many people do we need to mobilize to carry out a search, how can you ensure that we can search them all back?" Luo Muye said with a cold expression, hearing Luo Muye's self-questioning and self-answering, the knight chief and the others fell into silence, they actually knew very well that they might be able to restrict the actions of the vast majority of the villagers if they were smaller than the villagers, but once someone organized/organized an escape operation, they were absolutely powerless to stop it, and the fish that slipped through the net was also as Luo Muye said, and the risk brought by the fish that slipped through the net was very large, and now the green robe of the Inspector of the Restoration Society was found among the villagers, so their hearts were even more bottomless," It seems that you understand, you know that what I am doing is not wrong, you just can't accept my indifference and cruelty. Luo Muye smiled mockingly, "Then why don't you kill the last ones too?" I'm not his butcher, in my eyes killing is always just a tool, you don't really think that the old man of the underground clan will shake me and change my mind if he says a few words, I actually didn't plan to kill those people at all, it's just a means, the old man he thought of it I also thought of it, I need the living underground clan to be afraid of me, afraid of me, dare not betray me, and also need someone to be able to serve me, after all, we are not good at throwing face, our characteristics are too obvious except for me, it just so happens that the old man gave me a step, I'm sorry for deceiving you, but I hope that after I tell the truth, I can make your heart feel better。 "Although we know that you have your own troubles, and understand that you may not have a choice or a better solution, slaughter is really not for us, and our conscience will probably condemn us all the time, and we are not the undead beasts without thoughts and hearts. Frye thought for a moment and whispered, "You know Frye, if I had to, next time I would still put slaughter on my list, especially on the territory of a hostile race. "Why?" Except for the Knight Chief and Erin, the others asked almost in unison, Luo Muye replied and shook his head, "There is a slang saying in the far east - those who are not of my race must have different hearts!" This is a wise saying summed up by experience and lessons, if you think about it carefully, think about the betrayals that have occurred in history, and think about the tribes that have fought back after surrendering, you will understand how incisive this sentence is. "What does this have to do with our killing of the villagers this time?" Hanhan's dwarf captain didn't understand for a moment and asked Hanhan, "Idiot, haven't you figured it out, what the adults mean is that there are too many of these underground clansmen, and we can't control them, they will definitely not settle down, let alone help us sincerely, and they will definitely find an opportunity to report to the pursuers and want to strangle us." Hemo smacked his lips and held his head. "Yes, let me add that the underground people are fundamentally different from us, so for us they are aliens, not only in appearance, but also in habits, beliefs, including identification with the gods, I don't think anyone wants to be close comrades or companions with these people who live underground, in the dark, and don't like cleanliness. Luo Muye raised a finger to illustrate, but as soon as he finished saying this example, except for Erin, even the chief knight looked at the only dwarf captain, as if the dwarf captain was the underground clan hidden among them, "No, what do you all think of me? We dwarves like to make holes, but we don't like to live underground, we have houses on the ground, and our faith is a branch of the god of the earth." The only dwarf captain looked at the questioning and playful eyes of his companions, and blushed in defense, but it attracted more sighs, "Then what do you say about not taking a bath..."Bartlet reminded, "You..." Before the dwarf could finish speaking, Luo Muye interrupted the argument between the dwarf captain and Bartlet, with a low shout, Enough, I'm not talking about this race, elves, centaurs, and even dragons, so what, we will always be called the barrier clan instead of just taking out separate titles, we are a whole, no one can lack it, and although humans are our allies, they are also self-contained, hey, it's really a day, Farnesus, I have to give you science about what a clan is, okay, okay, go back to me and explain to the soldiers why there was this massacre, so that they don't have psychological pressure, if there is one, put all the blame on yourself"Ah, on ourselves, sir, you're not mistaken. Bartlet, who had already turned around and pulled the door, turned his head with a question mark on his face, "Of course, you captains must have the consciousness of carrying the black pot for the leader, and I need to maintain my own glorious image." Luo Muye pursed his lips and ordered, Hemo and Frye rolled their eyes and left without saying much, while Bartley snorted disdainfully, and the dwarf even blocked his ears as if he didn't hear it, only the knight chief turned around and shook his head at Luo Muye when he left, "My lord, to be reasonable, you may not have a glorious image among your subordinates for a long time." Then he closed the door intimately, leaving Luo Muye stunned behind the door.
Time is like water, rushing and flowing, three days passed quickly, Luo Muye and a group of barrier warriors hid in this small village called Lyle for three days, the necessary materials were turned out by the women of the underground clan to buy, it is worth mentioning that although Luo Muye has controlled the children of these underground women, but every time he goes out, he will send proficient latent barrier warriors to track, although no abnormality has been found for the time being, but Luo Muye always has a feeling of horror and has not withdrawn the tracking. As for the acquisition of news and the delivery of information, Luo Muye is also done alone, he will find the clues left by Bren's advance after putting on makeup, to obtain information and complete the exchange of information, this day Luo Muye came to a small town tavern 100 kilometers away from Lyle Village as always to explore the news, watching the tavern owner skillfully handed him an envelope, he smiled and left 2 gold coins, and then raised the wine glass in front of him and raised his head to pour all the purple-black liquid into his throat, shaking the cup at the boss, and then lightly left the cup at the bar and turned away, and the boss behind him nodded as always。
Luo Muye was halfway down, took out the envelope from his chest, first looked around vigilantly, and only after finding that it was the same, he silently took out the envelope and folded it into an area half the size of a palm, and read it quietly. "Two days later, in the northwest, a caravan and a slave catcher passed through the Broken River Gorge, carrying supplies such as war horses, slaves, and military supplies. This news made Luo Muye stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth rose slightly, drawing an arc and muttering, "It's time to remind some people of our existence." Luo Muye looked around vigilantly again, and found that no one noticed, so he pinched the envelope in his right hand and then walked a few steps quickly and threw it on the ground, somehow a tiny flame ignited from the envelope, and it turned into a fire cluster in a few seconds, leaving only the ashes that began to wander as soon as the wind blew, and the words on it could not be seen at all.
