Chapter 18, Long live the lord
That night, there was a burst of excitement throughout Atlanta, and everyone in the residential area, in the commercial area, and even in the farmers who were about to return home in the fields, shouted from the bottom of their hearts: "Long live the lord!"
The entire permanent population of Atlanta is more than 5,000 people, and these more than 5,000 people do not count the people in the mountain prison, if you add the people in the mountain prison, then the permanent population of Atlanta must reach 6,500 people.
The mountain prison is very large, not to mention this thousand and five hundred people, even two thousand people can fit it.
And more than 1,000 of the more than 1,500 people were pitted by the Giggs father and son.
In one afternoon, with the help of Philip, Pete, and Carlo, Caesar freed all the more than 1,000 people and sincerely apologized to them.
Perhaps some people had a grudge against Caesar at first, but after hearing that Caesar had disposed of the Giggs father and son with his own hands, this resentment suddenly decreased a lot.
At the same time, Caesar also said that there would be some compensation for the humiliation they had suffered over the years, and more than 1,000 people left the prison happily and returned to their homes.
Of course, some of them died in the mountain prison, and Caesar did not skip the corpses of the more than ten people who died tragically in the mountain prison, and the bodies of each of them were placed in coffins by Pete, and Caesar carried these coffins one by one, sent them back from house to house, and bowed deeply and apologized to his family.
Pete and Carlo try to stop them at first, but Philip tells Pete and Carlo to shut up on the grounds that "this is the best chance for Lord Lords to restore the trust of the people of Atlanta".
After returning to the castle for a night's rest, Caesar took Philip and Carlo back to the dungeon the next day.
Now there are hundreds of people left in the mountain prison, Caesar did not waste it, most of these people came in by committing crimes, although many Caesars felt that it was not a big deal, but in the eyes of Giggs at that time, these people were more or less not very supportive of him, so they were also locked in together.
Unlike those who were unjustly imprisoned, these people really made mistakes, even when Caesar questioned them, they also admitted their mistakes one by one.
As a result, this group of people also received a special pardon from our Lord Caesar!
But unlike the previous group, Caesar did not let them go home, but made them sign an agreement before allowing them to leave.
At the suggestion of Herald Philip, since Atlanta now needs people for all kinds of things, these hundreds of people can just fully devote themselves to various industries in Atlanta, which can not only make them compensate for their past mistakes, but also allow them to speed up the construction of Atlanta.
......
"My lord, all the one hundred and twenty soldiers have been taken out of the mountain prison. Carlo said as he bowed to Caesar.
Caesar nodded and stood up in Pete's very comfortable seat, "Let's go!"
"Yes!"
These 120 men were the last 120 people in the prison after Caterina and the three stripped mages, each of whom had committed a major crime in the military headquarters and was locked up by Rhodes.
Under the command of a third-order warrior in Rhodes, he can also make waves, and this group of guys is naturally not a fuel-efficient lamp.
A full 120 people, dressed in all shabby prison uniforms, their hands and feet were locked with more than 100 catties of fine iron, and they sat listlessly on the ground, each of them with a face full of dust, a face indifferent, and a numb and empty look.
Caesar frowned, "Why are they so unmotivated?"
"This ......" Pete Fat touched the bald head that had no hair helplessly: "My lord, they are all military criminals, and they all have strong combat effectiveness, in order to prevent them from making trouble, so ...... These prisoners were only allowed to eat one meal a day. β
Eat once a day?
Caesar was suddenly a little annoyed in his heart, he only ate one meal a day, is this still a human being?
Seeing the anger that Caesar's eyes were about to erupt, Philip played a round: "Lord Lord, I'm afraid I really can't blame Your Excellency Pete for this, a few moths in Atlanta have been harsh and taxy for many years, not to mention these soldiers, even the people of Atlanta only have two meals a day at most, and only the people of the military department have three meals a day, which is no way, after all, the current Atlanta is too poor." β
"Damn!" Caesar scolded angrily, but he was helpless for a while, after all, all this was Caesar's fault in the past!
But this pot Caesar said that he couldn't be himself, and that guy Jean also had to bear a large part of the responsibility!
Yes, and Jean!
Thinking of Jean's bamboo pole, Caesar immediately thought of Giggs, and laughed softly: "Don't worry, after a day, this matter will be completely solved!"
"Pete, go and break all the chains off their bodies, this group of people in front of me is my people of Atlanta, not criminals!" Caesar ordered Pete.
"Yes!"
This group of guys was originally extremely strong, so they were locked with such heavy chains to prevent riots, but Caesar's strength is obvious to all, and this group of hungry guys will not be Caesar's opponent no matter how you look at it.
Each of the soldiers watched as Pete and Carlo opened the chains that bound them one by one, with a cold expression and no emotion.
"Attention everyone!!"
When the last of the chains was removed, Caesar shouted.
Every soldier subconsciously raised his head to look at this lord who was completely different from the past.
Caesar laughed coldly, and with majesty on his face, he exclaimed, "I'm sure most of you should know who I am!!"
"Yes, I can see it in your eyes, and you remember me!"
Caesar laughed coldly and said loudly: "That's right, I am Caesar, the idiot Caesar in your eyes, the strongest person in Atlanta now, Lord Caesar!
Caesar said all this in one breath, and he stood on it, carefully observing the expressions of the one hundred and twenty prisoners below. Seeing that their eyes had recovered from their hollow numbness, little by little, he was very satisfied with the result, and then he puffed up his breath. shouted loudly: "Everyone obey the order! All members of the Atlanta Escort!!!
With Caesar's loud shout, Carlo, who was ready next to him, had already taken out a trombone.
The loud horn sounded out of the audience, and Caesar's shouting was mixed in the middle: "All those who have the rank of officer, stand up for me, I ask you to line up as fast as possible! If you have not finished the drill queue after the horn is over, then wait to eat military law!!"
Rumble!
One hundred and twenty soldiers and prisoners suddenly boiled!
These soldiers dressed as prisoners, their numb eyes showed a trace of arrogance that had been hidden for many years, although they had been deprived of all their freedom and glory, but fortunately, the military instinct that had been deeply flowing into their blood had not been lost.
Soon, the crowd surged like ants, and everyone stood up.
When the trumpet ended, there were no longer the one hundred and twenty prisoners standing there.
Rather, a neat phalanx!
Twelve people with the title of officer stood at the forefront, and the position of captain of their squad, each of them was the strongest soldier in the army that year, and under their leadership, a solemn aura spread from the one hundred and twenty soldiers.
One of the squad leaders was a little more clever, looked at Caesar's murderous eyes, strode towards Caesar, and then made a chest-beating salute and loudly reported the results of the procession.
With this first, the other eleven also learned to report to Caesar one by one.
Caesar was very satisfied with the result, and glanced at the captain who was the first to report to him with encouraging eyes.
"Very well!" Caesar coughed and cleared his throat, "I'm glad that after all this time, you still have the instincts of a soldier!"
