This is not the first time Famm has heard of the power of the oracles.

But every time I know about a new ability, I can't help but be amazed.

The oracles said that the rain would stop at noon, and just after lunch, the rain stopped as expected. The officers had given the order to leave, and the crowd began to pack their little luggage.

Most of the people felt a little uncomfortable with the march, and compared to the half a month spent eating bread for free in Elise City, the more than a week after coming out was undoubtedly much more difficult. Not only do you have to walk the required distance every day, but you also have to carry a prescribed amount of weight, which is usually food. Moreover, it is strictly forbidden to waste and steal this food, and for violators, the king will make a certain part of his body disappear permanently.

But for Fam, the experience along the way is indescribable in his life...... Of course, he also felt very bitter, but strangely, he was very happy.

Fam couldn't say why he was happy after suffering, but being happy was happy. Every day when he heard the order to march, he would whistle excitedly.

Fam has been a farmer all his life, and since his birth, the biggest trip of his life has been from his hometown to the royal city of Elis. When I was walking on the road, I didn't think there was anything special about the trip because I was worried about cookies most of the time. On the contrary, like everyone else, in a strange environment, with so many strange people, there is always a sense of precariousness - leaving the farmland, he has no idea where to go for the next meal.

The period of life in the royal city of Elise somewhat soothed his uneasiness. And during this time of following the large army, Fam can finally enjoy this journey without worry.

He saw strange villages and cities, wide rivers, vast grasslands, and majestic mountain peaks.

In the past, such landscapes, which only passed through the mouths of merchants passing through their villages a few times a year, were depicted roughly, and of course, in their narratives, these landscapes often contained terrible things, such as ferocious beasts, murderous robbers, fierce tax collectors, or sudden storms......

And in Fam's travels, none of these negative factors existed, and the gods made the Lord invincible in front, and wherever they passed, neither the enemy nor the robbers dared to appear in the field of vision, even those peasants in a foreign land, when they saw them, they nodded politely.

While Fam was searching for firewood and water in their village, the villagers had to carefully guide him.

Even if something unpleasant happened, such as two days ago, when Fam started to have diarrhea after drinking water, he was able to hope for the oracle. God sent them medicine to all their sick numbers, and in an afternoon he was cured.

For this former farmer, the days when he could eat and do every day, see new scenery every day, and turn to God, a god who can truly perform miracles, when he encountered problems, were probably unimaginable in the most beautiful dreams that Fam had ever had when he was a farmer.

But this happiness is only for Fam, and obviously, not everyone in this team is as easily satisfied as Fam.

When they assembled, the soldiers in charge of leading them showed them the latest work of King Elis, two full rows of hanged corpses.

After determining the authority and the consequences of violating it, the soldiers once again made the discipline clear to everyone: there are those who want to escape, and if they are caught, this is the end! Since they have eaten the bread of God's angel, they will go all the way to the end in the path that God has directed.

There were people in the corpses that Fam knew, and some of them really died unjustly, but they were not very suitable for this kind of long trip away from their homeland, either because they regretted it and wanted to go back to their families; Either because I'm scared, because the long journey has just begun; A few others were pure lazy, and they had come with the party for the cookies, but the number and taste of the cookies on the march were certainly not as satisfying as those in the city—these people felt that it was not worth it and wanted to go back.

But the king made it clear to everyone by hanging that the sweet cakes that had made them want to stop were indeed not eaten in vain.

To put it mildly:

Once you eat it, you don't have the right not to eat!

Yesterday was a rainstorm, and these people wanted to run away in the evening, but these people had no idea that the plan they had just discussed would soon be overheard, and the whistleblower would sell them all just for some sugar.

Towards night, they passed the ruins of a castle.

The soldiers relayed to them the news that the castle had been breached by their divine envoy not long ago, and it had only taken half a night. The oracles summoned lightning from heaven to split the gates.

Fam couldn't imagine how big and terrifying the lightning that could split the gates of the city. He could only marvel with the others.

The muddy road slowed the pace of the procession, and Fam took off his shoes and hung them around his neck, as the others did, and they were assigned by the soldiers to help push the wagons and ox carts. But because the road conditions were so bad, in the end, I had to unload all the food on the car and let people carry it.

Fam was given twice as much weight as he used to carry food, which made his otherwise easy trip less comfortable. Along the way, Fam didn't have the heart to make small talk with others and discuss all kinds of new topics as usual. Most of the others did the same, and the weight on their backs silenced everyone.

Fortunately, it was already late at this time, and after walking for more than an hour, they began to rest on the side of the road as usual.

Because he had previously carried food, Famm was given the right to rest. Together with many people, he picked a dry stone in the woods by the roadside and began to wait for dinner.

At this moment, there were many cheers from the front of the group, and Fam and the others subconsciously stood up and looked in the direction from which the sound came. The soldier in charge of them had already leaned over to listen to the other soldiers relay the news that had just arrived.

After about a short while, the soldier came back, and he triumphantly announced to everyone: "Everyone will be comfortable from tomorrow!" God has brought us a great deal of captives! ”

The people around Fam cheered along with the others, but Fam was worried about the "captives" he had never met—they were much more pitiful than himself.

When their supper was ready, and when it was time to eat, Fam, as usual, lined up with everyone on the side of the road. The two loaves had already been handed out to their hands, and everyone had already rubbed their hands clean before—the messenger said that it would not be easy to get sick, and that they would wait for the soldier's whistle to blow and they would begin to enjoy the happiest part of the day.

But the soldier's attention was drawn by a team in the middle of the road, coming in the opposite direction.

Famm was in the front row, so he could see it best. These people looked covered in mud and had expressionless faces on their faces. Their right hands were bound by a thin rope, which then continued to the next person. Everyone was just implicated by the rope and moved forward step by step. As the men passed by Fam, Fam noticed the eyes of the men, and they were all staring at the bread in their hands.

The eyes of these people reminded Fam of the first time he went to the royal city of Elis, and when he waited in line for bread, the expressions of the people around him were exactly the same as theirs.

And when these people stared at the bread in Fam's hand, Fam couldn't help but stare at these people's faces.

Because a significant number of these people are women.

The queues were unusually long, and the soldiers had apparently received new orders - they had to wait for some of the prisoners to be added to their phalanx before they could continue with the day's dinner.

The hungry stomach and the bread in the hands made the wait unusually long. Fam couldn't help but salivate from his mouth several times and drip onto the cake. The other people around him looked similar to him, and every once in a while, everyone couldn't help but look down at the bread in their hands, and then subconsciously looked at the soldier's whistle.

But on this day, the soldiers did not pick it up for a long time - which meant that they could not eat for the time being.

The sky was completely darkened before I knew it, because it was cloudy, and there was not a trace of moonlight in the sky. Except for a few people standing around him and in front of him, the faces of the others were barely clear.

The soldiers in charge of them have left, and it should be time to collect the captives and cookies.

If you eat it secretly at this time, the soldiers will definitely not find out. Fam couldn't help but think so. When he thought so, he couldn't help but look left and right, as if he wanted to see if they were stealing food - and then Fam found that the left and right were also looking at their left and right, and when they noticed each other's cakes, they would pick up the cakes and take the initiative to show each other, and the subtext was obvious: This is a complete cake, I didn't eat it secretly, don't try to report me!

The soldier soon returned, and behind him, a long line of captives was led to Fam. The men were soaked in the rain, the wind was cold at night, and they had walked for so long, and when they had stood still, Fam found that each of them was shivering.

"In Elise, even if you eat, you have to be disciplined! Now, study hard, and you will have to eat the same step by step in the future, otherwise you will wait to be hungry! ”

The soldier took up his whistle and commanded everyone: "Lift up the bread in your hands!" Let me see which of the unsightly dares to steal food while I'm away. ”

Famm held up the bread, and the soldier glanced at them from a distance at one end of the line before passing them. After checking all the queues in this way, the soldier smiled: "Good! Next, listen to the password. ”

The soldier took the whistle in his mouth. Fam withdrew his attention from the captives in front of him and focused on the pie in front of him.

With a whistle, Fam began the day's dinner. As he ate the bread to his heart's content, Fam looked at the men in front of him with his spare eyes—they all stared at him with an indescribable look of envy, and Fam could even hear the roar of their stomachs with hunger.

A strange emotion welled up from the bottom of Fam's heart, Fam didn't know what it felt, he only felt that the bread in his mouth was sweeter than any time he had eaten before.
