Bang bang bang.

Near the exit of the Ring Hill in Wales, 24 miles from the harbour city of Pandora. A large contingent was slowly driving out of the mountains. In addition to this team, there are only six teams of the same size in the vicinity that are slowly coming here, and it is roughly estimated that the following number is about 16,000~23,000 people.

After about a week of sweeping and plundering, the Pulon Legion swept away all the villages within a hundred miles of Pandora, creating a vacuum between Pandora and Wales, which could also be said to be a buffer zone.

All the people, food, farm animals were taken away, and all the buildings and farms were burned to the ground. The main reason for this is that the Welsh may counterattack, and the population brought back this time will not be able to fully digest the city of Pullen in a short period of time, so it is also necessary to allow yourself some time to react.

However, maintaining such a large contingent of immigrants required even the legionnaires of the Pulon Kings to expend a lot of energy. On average, each squad (five) is responsible for 20 people, and it is too much for a legion of 800 people to maintain the security of about 20,000 people.

Fortunately, however, the Welshmen who were forcibly taken away had no intention of causing trouble. Perhaps, this was due to the strict military discipline of the Pulon Royal City, and the neat phalanx during the attack on the village, which put too much pressure on these people, so they lost even the basic intention to resist.

But this is only a temporary phenomenon, in any case, the number of people plundered by this expedition is too large, almost double the total population of the royal city of Pullen and Pandora, if you are not careful, if these people break out into civil strife......

"Wang, do you really want to bring all these people back?"

Jania rode to King Pullen's side on her horse, and she frowned slightly as she looked at the long line of people with concern. The beautiful face is full of contemplation and vigilance. "If such a large number of foreigners enter the royal city of Pulun, I am afraid that it will be difficult to adapt to the increasingly strict national laws of the royal city. Punishment for ignorance, resentment in our hearts for punishment, and whirlwind, sooner or later arise thorny problems that are difficult for us to deal with......"

King Pullen and Yania walked side by side, the two of them walked at the front of the whole team, King Pullen's handsome and arrogant face, and Yanya's beautiful and upgraded face like stars, the two of them together were like two bright lights guiding the city of Pullen forward.

"What do you mean...... Is there a civil unrest breaking out? King Pullen pondered for a moment, then looked up at Yania and said.

"Yes. After all, these people are different from the way the population of the Pulon King City gathered before, and no matter what kind of reason is used to embellish and cover up, it cannot change the fact that it is the Pulon King City that forcibly removed these people from their homeland. So it is natural that some of them have resentment, resentment, hatred, and even hostility. “

Yania turned her head to look at the barely end-to-end line behind her, the breeze caressing her face, but it couldn't soothe the worries in her heart. "Look into the eyes of those men, O king, for the captives of war are not the same as those recruited under the same target. The first, second, third, and fourth groups of subjects who joined the city of Puron all joined us on a voluntary basis, but the faces of these people did not have the same expressions of gratitude and respect as those of their ancestors, and their expressions of wariness and panic and the eyes of hidden anger contained in them. In this way, it seems that if we don't do anything about it, something will happen sooner or later. “

At this time, King Pullen found that most of the Welsh in the procession were staring at him with angry eyes, and among them were old men, women, children, and young men. However, most of their faces and expressions were similar, especially the young and prime-aged people who were full of fear and disgust towards themselves.

Hmph, King Pullen snorted coldly.

Looking back at the Welsh escorts, a red light suddenly flashed.

"King, it would be detrimental to our majesty if we slaughtered them." Yania reminded in due time. "Moreover, if we kill them all, we won't have to go to such great lengths to bring them all back to the city of Puren. “

"Massacres are not necessary, but those who do not know terror will not know what reverence is. People who don't know how to be in awe will naturally do something embarrassing. “

With that, King Pullen turned his head away from the disgusting eyes behind him.

"Kill a hundred people, right?"

King Puren nodded: "Pick out a few thorny characters from among them, and condemn their crimes according to the laws of King Puren." Then, if a large crowd gathers to watch and let everyone witness the consequences of violating the laws of the Pulen Royal City, they will naturally start to feel afraid. Then, now that we know what fear is, we will naturally know what to do and what not to do. Our management will also be easier. “

"However, such a method can only last for a while."

“………………“

King Pullen did not refute or speak, acquiescing to Yanya's statement.

The king is right in his thinking, that only by knowing fear can we understand fear, and by understanding fear we will know where our limits are. That is, what can and cannot be done. However, the mere use of fear to control people's hearts is only a temporary and unstable measure of domination. Sooner or later, the person who imposes fear will inevitably be swallowed up by this growing fear. Like many willful tyrants of the past. “

After speaking, a trace of remembrance and a faint look of remorse flashed on Yania's face. "The reign of violence and fear alone cannot last, but guidance and redemption alone will not make one's country prosperous." The only thing that can ensure the inheritance of a nation is the merging of the subjects and the will of the king, turning the will of the king into a spirit and inheritance, and then successive generations of kings will continue to strive for this goal...... Only in this way can a country continue to extend until the world is destroyed. “

"You're referring to the cultural history and the sense of pride and deep identification with who you are as a Puron. …… Right? “

"Ah, that's right." Yania was slightly surprised, she didn't expect Wang Jian to sum up all the things she said in a simple sentence. For a moment, she felt a little ashamed, as if she was showing off her intelligence in front of a wise man.

"Don't worry, Yania, you're right."

At this moment, King Pullen suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on Yania's head and rubbed it gently. This intimate gesture was so natural, as if it had been done countless times, that when the two of them reacted, they were stunned on the spot for a moment.

"Ahem, ahem." King Pullen was the first to react, and he quickly withdrew his hand, a vague look of chagrin flashing across his face. "Anyway, I can understand what you think. However, it is as difficult to get everyone to abandon the past and accept a new identity as it is for a child to suddenly accept another woman as his mother. Time investment and running-in are indispensable, and it will take at least five or even more than ten years to achieve. However, we didn't have that long. “

"As the king of this country, the first thing I have to think about is how to keep this country alive. If 100 people can save 1,000 people, I will not hesitate to kill all 100 people to continue the remaining 1,000 people. Even if they are hated and complained, it is just a trivial matter of course, and it is not worth talking about at all. “

“…… So did the king decide to teach them fear first? “

"That's necessary, after all, these people can't be called the people of the Puron King's City, at best they are a potential source of unease. However, I would have done everything I could to eliminate this uneasiness in normal times, but now we have to find a way to extract what we need from these potentially dangerous elements. It's like a shot in the fire, and it's risky but worth a try. “

"What is the king going to do?" Yania asked.

“…… Well, this one."
