Chapter 198: Three Days (16)
When Tang Dou returned to the workshop, the workshop people were already cleaning the battlefield. In this night's battle, the number of dead and wounded in the workshop reached 1,000, including more than 300 dead in battle, 280 seriously wounded, and more than 400 lightly wounded.
This result is definitely brilliant, but it is still a big loss for the workshop.
After Sha Yunyue came back, he immediately ran to treat the casualties, and when he left, he asked Tang Dou for a few bottles of special potionsβin fact, they were the medicine made from Tang Dou's blood.
The elf beauty found a recipe that could use Tang Dou's blood to assimilate the blood of the demon beast and make it into a highly active potion, which could not be done otherwise, but it had an extremely amazing effect on internal and external injuries.
Poor Tang Dou was secretly rumored to be a bully who ate human flesh and drank human blood, but in the face of his own overly kind girl, he could only be a blood donor.
Fortunately, Tang Dou had no resistance to donating blood in his previous life, but now for various reasons, occasional blood loss is even more insignificant to him, so he admits it.
The elf beauty took the soft girl away before leaving, but I don't know how much this extremely dizzy girl can help.
After sending Ah Bao to accompany Xiao Lori, Tang Dou began to listen to Gu Suke's report.
"My lord, although our losses in this battle are not large, they are not small. The workshop has exposed several weapons, which are coveted by some while deterring the enemy. The subordinates think that the fighting power of the workshop should be expanded! After reporting the battle situation, Gusuke proposed to Tang Dou.
"You can do this thing, remember a degree! I want no one to mess with the workshop, but I can't go beyond the psychological bottom line of those people, and I can't let the workshop become the target of public criticism, understand? Tang Dou said.
"My subordinates understand! In addition, about the war dead in this battle......"
"Everything will be done according to the plan I gave you earlier. If you have family members, you must take care of them comprehensively, and if you have offspring, you must cultivate them carefully. As for those who are alone, how is the matter with the monument? β
"It's been arranged. It's all according to what the adults say. The subordinates have secretly asked people to write down the portraits of most of the people before, and even if there are some missing, they can be disposed of according to the remains! β
"Good. As for those who were injured, all were doubled. β
After some discussion between Tang Dou and Gusuke, they decided on the treatment of the dead and wounded in battle. All the war dead, regardless of whether they have family members or not, will all be engraved on the monument of the workshop, this inspiration is of course brought by Tang Dou from his previous life, and he even asked Gusuke to engrave the appearance of each war dead on the monument.
And for those who are left behind, it is necessary to take comprehensive and careful care.
These are naturally all means of wooing, but as a high-ranking person, it is enough to surprise Gu Suke to think of this, and in addition to being moved, he is also more determined to follow Tang Dou.
A moment later, Tang Dou convened a meeting of the whole workshop, whether it was the combatants who had participated in the battle before, the logistics support personnel, or the old and weak women and children who had been sent for refuge when the war began.
More than 17,000 people all gathered on the large square of the workshop, looking at Tang Dou on the high platform with excited expressions.
"Listen, everybody!" Tang Dou looked at the more than 10,000 excited faces, and almost forgot the words he had thought of: "Everyone listen!" β
The people in the workshop held their breath one by one, except for those who were seriously injured and couldn't move, including those who were lightly injured, they all looked at Tang Dou with the support of their colleagues.
They wanted to know Tang Dou's evaluation of this battle, and they thought of Tang Dou's approval, just like when Tang Dou first recognized that they were civilians.
"Listen, everybody!" Tang Dou showed a smile: "The first defense battle of our workshop has ended. We have lost some of our companions, and some of them are still lying in bed, but at this moment, you, each and every one of you, whether you are in the battle or not, you can all cheer! β
"Because this victory is a victory for all of us in our workshop, a victory for each and every one of us. The Workshop used this battle to show everyone that even if it was just a pariahs and slaves in the eyes of those who were high, it was the garbage and waste in the mouths of those who were powerful. As long as we are united, we still have our own rights! β
"We have the right to live, we have the right to live as a human being. We have the right to hold our heads up and cheer loudly. So, workshop man! Rejoice, and let all be heard. It's your right! Rejoice! β
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! β
The whole workshop was boiling.
Not only people, but even those war beasts roared in the sky.
Every man in the workshop, young and old, blushed and cheered with their necks in full swing.
Yes, it's a win. But he's not just a victory, he's a subversion.
For many years in the Thousand Souls Spirit Realm, only strength is about identity. And now, this division of identity has been turned upside down. In the end, the powerful soul cultivators did not capture the homeland defended by the weak workshop people.
As soon as Tang Dou stretched out his hand, the cheering crowd immediately fell silent, and the order was forbidden, like the most elite army.
"Today we won. But we can't be proud, we can't be complacent. Because the reality is in front of our eyes, we are still weak, but as long as we are united, as long as we continue to improve ourselves, then we will always have our rights! β
A speech instigated the people of the workshop to explode, and these people who were not recognized elsewhere, frustrated, ignored, and humiliated, found a new life of their own in the workshop.
Tang Dou told them with his actions that they have the right to live and the right to live like a person. No matter what the future holds, at this moment, the workshop people raised their eyebrows.
When the crowd dispersed, Aglaya walked to Tang Dou's side: "Are you really good like this?" Give them a false dream, and maybe their dream will only last until the day you leave! β
"Even if I don't leave, I will die one day and lose one day. Do they live forever in fear and inferiority? Tang Dou grinned and said a famous sentence: "If people have no ideals, what is the difference between them and salted fish?" β
"So living in a dream that could burst at any time is the ideal you gave them?" Aglaia asked rhetorically.
"That's not what I gave them, it's what they should have! I can't protect them forever, and neither can you. The only one who can protect them is yourself. It is true that they are weak, and perhaps they have worked hard and struggled for years, and in the end they have also been razed to the ground by a powerful enemy, turning them into slaves once again! β
Tang Dou's expression became serious: "But, what does it matter?" They have lived, they have tried, and their short lives have been wonderful. That's life! What if you know that your life is a tragedy, so you give up everything? No, that's not my style. Knowing that you can't do it is my style! β
"A person's life will cry, laugh, be sad, be happy, be hurt, and be painful. But as long as you live it seriously, it's worth it. If you think that your efforts are useless, so you just give up, and such a person will simply die! β
Aglaya looked at Tang Dou, who was rarely so serious, and was silent for a long time, waiting until the other party finished speaking, and she finally showed a relieved smile: "I understand!" β
"That's good!" Tang Dou smiled.
Aglaia said no more and turned away.
What is she going to do Tang Dou already has a little guess, maybe the other party's decision will bring some trouble to the workshop, but how to say it? Isn't that what life is all about?
After talking to Aglaia, Tang Dou went to visit Lin Xiao and the others again, the half-elf girl fought with the golden ninth-level master, and the injury was not light, although the bright tiger had cured her physical injuries, but the mental and soul power consumption could not be made up.
And Kuqiu, Argus, Ilia and others are also fighting hard, although there is no danger to their lives, but even if Sha Yunyue does it himself, they will have to lie down for a while to recover.
As for the unlucky Bright Tiger, because of the perverted physique of the light demon beast, it was nothing other than a little trauma in its soul, Tang Dou comforted him, and gave him some pure life source power from the source of life, which finally made this unlucky tiger happy again.
After dealing with all this, Tang Dou finally had time to see his captive. The commander of the enemy.
Coming to the temporary prison, Tang Dou let the dozen or so war beasts acting as guards wave back, opened the cell door, and sat down in front of the other party.
This unlucky guy was betrayed by his mysterious advisor at the end of the battle, and then was captured alive by Aglia, and now this unlucky guy still has a soul sealing needle (a thing that seals the soul and soul power, it works slowly, and is only useful for soul cultivators below the platinum level). The whole body is bound by layers of chains.
Seeing Tang Dou appear, the lifeless enemy commander finally reacted, struggling to stand up, but he could only hold the chains.
Tang Dou took off the soul sealing needle on the opponent's dantian, easily tore off all the chains on the opponent's body, and then carefully helped the other party to sit down, and then spoke: "Your name?" β
The other party was silent for a moment, but still spoke: "Corsiga Bonaparte! β
"Purple and gold?"
"The ancestral home is!"
"Oh, that's the ancestors who were exiled. I've heard from my military advisor that your battlefield command is pretty good. If you put it on the main continent, you can also be regarded as a famous general! β
Kosiga raised his head and glanced at Tang Dou: "Is Your Excellency using this way to elevate yourself?" If people like me are all famous generals, aren't your military advisors and you the famous generals among the famous generals? β
"Hah!" Tang Dou laughed at himself: "If you change my command tonight, I think you will have a great chance of winning." I have a lot of crooked ideas outside the battlefield, but when it comes to battlefield command, I'm actually a scumbag! My military advisor is good, and he really deserves to be called a famous general in this regard! β
Corsiga was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "Your Excellency Nicholas, what do you want to do?" Kill me? Or do you want to get some information from me? β
"If I said I hadn't thought about anything but wanted to see what you looked like, would you believe me?" Tang Dou shrugged.
Corsiga pursed his lips and looked at Tang Dou, as if trying to find out if the other party was playing a trick of interrogation.
"Look, just now you mentioned your ancestral hometown, generally speaking, your ancestors have been exiled here, and they can still be passed on, and they can also make you have certain military talents, and you can become a gold-level master, then you will definitely not be alone, but should be a family!"
"This means that if you surrender to me, or betray me the information of my enemies, your family will be destroyed. As long as you still have a little bit of humanity and courage, I don't think you will make such a choice! So, what more can I ask from you? β
Looking at Kosiga's shocked look, Tang Dou spread his hands: "As for killing you!" Hey, by the time you were defeated, you were dead, weren't you? β
Corsiga twitched her lips and finally let out a long sigh, "Going against you is the stupidest decision my family and I have ever made. Mr. Nicholas, may I ask you one last question? β
"You want to ask me, why did your people end up being weak chickens who have no power to fight back?" Tang Dou already knew what the other party was thinking.
In fact, if he were Corsiga, he couldn't figure it out.
When the Golden Ninth Rank powerhouse was killed by the combination of Kuqiu and the Bright Tiger, Kosiga hesitated to retreat at the suggestion of his mysterious advisor, only to see his own troops fall in pieces - without any attack, without any damage, and these people fell like this.
They did not die, nor did they lose their fighting spirit and soul power, but they became weak and weak, and could only watch as the warriors of the workshop rushed out from behind the bamboo walls of the workshop, slaughtering them under their swords.
The elite army that Corsiga had brought with him was an elite army, but a makeshift army of privates and outlaws, and it was already possible for him to continue the ferocious attack despite the previous continuous losses, but when this completely one-sided massacre began, Kosica's army was left with only one way to collapse.
Shocked, Corsiga plans to fight hard with the Workshop Warband led by Aglaia, Bright Tiger, and Sniper who have already killed Akrasu and other high-level gold, and he also plans to pull his mysterious advisor with him.
In the end, of course, he was sold clean by the mysterious advisor, and then captured alive by Aglaia.
Tang Dou whispered a few words in Kosiga's ear, Kosiga's eyes widened, and he looked at Tang Dou with a shocked look: "You, you are a madman!" β
"Yes!" Tang Dou smiled and nodded in acknowledgement: "But, so what?" β
"Hahaha, indeed, so what? So what? Corsiga laughed nervously, and when he laughed, a wisp of black blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but his breathing stopped.
"Someone, sort out the remains of Corsiga and send them back to Kinunu City according to the traditional specifications of the Purple Gold Kingdom!" Tang Dou shook his head, and then opened his mouth to command.
"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
