Colaire and five other captives waited honestly outside the tent.

The soldiers who guarded them were able to make them talk in a whisper and not care. A mercenary whispered to Claire, "Mr. Claire, this is not a hospital. They didn't have a frying pan, and they didn't scream—"

Claire nodded in agreement.

There are many injuries among mercenaries, and each treatment is the same process: a small scream and a louder scream. Douse wounds with boiling oil and cut off hands and feet with knives. But so far, there has been no sound coming from inside the tent. Could it be that all the wounded are dead?

Claire crossed the red cross again and whispered, "The Lord is omnipresent and always inspires us like Lambs to go forward, and the world will be changed for our coming, and we will let the light of the Lord shine on all." ”

The mercenaries repeated his words, and the six of them settled down.

Colaire thought that if the young but well-informed Dr. Rodman was here, he would have seen what these men were doing.

Soon, a white-robed man appeared. The few soldiers who had been letting them go immediately became nervous, and the interpreter soldier who could speak Hokkien said loudly: "Obey any arrangement, and those who violate it will die!" ”

At the same time, they swung their strange weapon, which was somehow inserted into a bright dagger, reflecting a blinding light as they swung it.

The white-robed man, a young man, spoke a few words in a loud voice, and the interpreter told them that he was only going to take blood from their ears.

Blood Sacrifice! No wonder they use the red cross icon!

Legend has it that the Spaniards met in the New World, and they also met. However, under the intimidation of the soldiers, the white-robed man got what he wanted. Fortunately, only two people were pulled into the tent. The others, under the orders of the white-robed man, returned to the hut. Then the two guys came back, and they said they had just taken their blood out and put it back into the wounded. It seems that the wounded are really being treated.

It's incredible that they use this strange blood sacrifice to heal the sick.

Colaire sighed, these enemies have the appearance of Akito, but they are stronger than the body of ordinary mercenaries, except that they are not as good as Drey, a guy from Highland Germany, his body is a square. It was useless to resist, but fortunately, they were not brutal, and with the interpreter soldiers, they no longer kicked and beat them arbitrarily.

Back in the hut, the others saw that there were a few fewer people, no one cared where those people went, and they were all thinking about their future.

Suddenly, the door to the hut opened, and Colaire and the others were kicked out again. A man who claimed to be Captain E, stood in front of them.

This is not going to be a death sentence for them, is it? Colaire stole a look around, but there was no gallows. Is it to beat them to death with their terrible weapons?! Claire's hearts were pinched together.

The captain said a word, and the soldier translated it in Hokkien. Just like they did with the Ming merchants.

After the crowd listened, "alas"! Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was to make them work in exchange for water and food. Whatever the news is, as long as it has nothing to do with the death penalty, it is good news.

Two soldiers came carrying two white boxes with red flowers, one of them carrying a green bag. The soldier crouched down and carefully cut open the box with his knife, which looked like papier-mâché. Pulled out a bottle of water from inside, the bottle was beautiful with beautiful drawings on it. The other opened the bag and pulled out pieces of things.

Coller: They were ordered to sit on the ground, and they were to sit cross-legged.

The two soldiers were just about to distribute it to them, when Captain E suddenly said a few words. The two soldiers hurriedly tore off the pictures on the bottles, and tore off the paper on the pieces of things, which turned out to be biscuits.

Each of them had a bottle of water and two biscuits.

The bottle is very strange, not only transparent, but also soft, and many people are startled when they first take it, and they think that the bottle is alive. The cap of the bottle is also printed with a beautiful pattern. They were all playing with the bottle so earnestly that no one could guess what it was made of.

The interpreter soldier made a twisting motion to them, and then said, hurry up and finish eating and drinking, and start working immediately, today's task is very tight.

The water is delicious, the biscuits are so sweet, but less.

Claire recognized the Chinese character bulging out of the lid: Nongfu Spring. He secretly told the people around him that it might be for the peasants to drink. As a result, many of my companions recalled that the spring water in their hometown also tasted like this.

The soldiers were also not too harsh on them, as long as they did not move, as if they were whispering to each other, and did not care. But just like that, Selwin, who had the nickname "lucky fool", was beaten.

He wanted to hide a bottle!

As they lined up and put the magic bottle back into the box, Selwin made a gesture of putting it back and tucked it into his sleeve.

One soldier was furious, and he began to want to use the butt of his gun, but then he found a stick and slapped Selwyn so hard that the soldier kept scolding:

"If the well hadn't been sealed early, I would have given you mineral water to drink?! Don't you know that the responsibility for our recycling is on the individual?! One less bottle and I'm miserable! Dare to look at me! Pump you, pump you! ”

The interpreter soldier looked at it with a grin, but there was no interpreter. No one knew what the soldier was swearing.

Poor Selwin, who had blown him up unharmed when he heard about the Clippers explosion, had just fainted, and was now beaten for a bottle.

Everyone also learned a lesson, not to look directly at the soldiers' faces. Selwyn was only pumped a few times at first, but he was beaten even harder when he looked up to meet the soldier's eyes and shouted in defense.

The soldiers gave them tools they had recovered from the city of Geranza. They were to remove the corpses from the city and put them on the battlefield outside the city. It was also necessary to remove the goods from the collapsed warehouses and transport the broken bricks and tiles out of the city. A total of four soldiers were watching over them.

Collectively, they pushed the original four-wheeled carts in the city to transport broken bricks and tiles outside the city. There was no way, the original two horses didn't know where to go, so they had to push together. After a trip to Zuihou and about to complete the requested task, they saw a scene and were stunned.

They saw that Daniel Ni, a missionary teacher who was nearly 50 years old, suddenly appeared in the dust.

He held the cross aloft as if with a divine aura against the setting sun. He bravely approached the soldiers, crying out with a loud voice: "The Lord will go before you; He will be with you, and he will not leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed. ”

He strode forward, and he was facing more than twenty soldiers!

The soldiers were a little disorganized, some aimed their terrible weapons at Daniel, and some shouted something. It wasn't until the captain gave the order that the two soldiers rushed up and knocked down Daniel, searched him, and then let him go.

Captain E, who took off his huge black eyes, seemed to spit out something in annoyance, and then he took off his helmet and held it in his hand. He kept scolding: "Who the fuck put this priest or priest in?!" What are the front-line sentinels doing?! ”

It quickly became clear that the guy had come down a path and no one had seen him. You really can't blame the sentinels, it's okay to defend such a large area against a large-scale enemy attack, but if you really want to prevent a single enemy from penetrating, it's impossible. Fortunately, the weapon of the terrorist attacker is a cross and nothing else.

The captives watched Captain E's anger.

Now it was completely clear that he was really just a bright man, with ridiculously small black eyes and short black hair, which seemed to resemble the hairstyle of the "round heads" of the British lowly class. The huge eyes were nothing more than two pieces of black glass, as everyone had guessed. As for what he spit out, someone picked it up secretly while working, and it was very sticky, and it was speculated that it might be betel nut or something.

Colaire saw that Captain O had two soldiers forcibly escort Daniel, and the three of them together took him to the city of Geranza, where he later heard that he seemed to have gone to the Reverend of Fort Farnberg.

Before leaving, the missionary Daniel kept shouting, "The God of peace is about to trample Satan under your feet." The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ”

Captain E kept saying something at the small box on his left shoulder. Colis saw them communicating through small boxes many times. He dared to conclude that there must be something in this that he didn't understand.

The words of the missionary teacher Daniel Ni were very contagious, and everyone was silently blessing him.

Then another captain came, and he had to arrange for them to work. The interpreter said he was Captain Sun.

Drey, suddenly believing that the distribution was unfair, said loudly that he had been involved in the work in the city of Geranza, and that there were people who had not done any work but had not arranged for it.

Dre was referring to a low-level staff member who was almost stunned by the scene when he participated in the first transport of a corpse. The soldier kindly told him to just follow the crowd and not have to work first. Dre hates the employees in the company and is willing to laugh at those who are not as strong as him. When he found that there was no danger to his life, he returned to his true nature. He has always had a loud voice, and he likes to talk with gestures with his hands.

The Captain Sun didn't understand what Dre was saying, but took a step back, drew a strange short musket from his leg, and aimed it at Drey's head.

Captain Sun kept smiling and repeating a phrase in his mouth. The soldier interpreter shouted in Hokkien, back off! Fuck you back!

Bet Dre must have gone crazy or just reacted naturally, he spat on the ground and unconsciously said something he usually said: You yellow monkey.

Dre has a strong accent and is High German. Even among fellow mercenaries, it is difficult to understand. But Captain Sun seemed to understand, and he smiled and fired.

Everyone saw that after the gunshots rang out, the back of Drey's head seemed to explode, and his huge body fell to the ground with no struggle at all. The captain, though still smiling, was still angry, and he inserted it several times before he put the musket back.

The job that Captain Sun gave them was simple.

They were asked to gather all kinds of lumber and pile them up on the beach, and then they were given shovels to shovel up all kinds of corpses or pieces of corpses and put them into an iron bucket with huge iron teeth, and when it was full, the metal bucket would be carried away by a four-wheeled iron cart behind the bucket that could be driven by man, and then lifted high and dumped onto the timber stack. They loaded a second iron chariot.

They didn't see where the iron cart with the iron bucket in front of them came from, they didn't see how the huge iron box in the square was delivered, and they didn't even see another strange boat with a big mouth on the dock at some point. They don't care about any of that. Drey's death scared everyone. Don't look up and obey everything.

At some point, Mr. Ni reappeared in front of the timber stack, and it is said that he saw Pastor Farmberg, who was sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious, and did not know what he was talking to. The spirit of Daniel Ni was not as good as it was at the beginning. He whispered in front of the stack:

"If we confess our sins, God is faithful and just and will forgive our sins. Cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ”

His voice was low and few could hear him.

The soldiers poured expensive palm oil on the wood, cracked it with a small thing, and then ignited a fire. The fire seemed to light up half of the night sky.

Immediately the soldiers erected something on the walls of Geranza, and it emitted a terrifying pillar of light that seemed to shine through the sky to heaven. As they swept through the fire, the fire suddenly dimmed.
