Chapter 40: The Dungeon
Originally, there were still some human prisoners in the dungeon of Hammondale, but since the big-eared prisoners of war moved in, these prisoners were all released by the order of the lord.
First, because the dungeon is too small to hold so many people, and secondly, because the lord doesn't want to spend money to support these guys who are already severely malnourished and are not even qualified to be free coolies.
They couldn't bear to starve to death, and they were unwilling to raise them, so they simply let them all go, leaving them to fend for themselves, out of sight and out of mind.
This would have been a very selfish and irresponsible act, but in the eyes of the people of Hammondal, it was completely different.
There is no other reason, just because these prisoners are all victims of some unjust, false and wrongful cases, when the former lord Markham was in office, his subordinates did a lot of things to do in the traitor department, and these unlucky guys were all offended by people who should not be offended for one reason or another, so they were put in prison.
Now that the lord has released these people, it is a great act of righteousness in the eyes of the lords, which has increased the prestige of the lord among the lords again.
As a result, the dungeons of Hammondale are now the exclusive domain of the Big-Eared Monster POWs.
The big-eared monsters are also full of curiosity about the elven spy and Johnny who were suddenly locked in a few days ago.
Johnny used to be a soldier in the Guards, and he usually took the big-eared monsters to do hard work, and the big-eared monsters certainly recognized him.
No matter what race it is, the gossip soul will never be extinguished, and the big-eared monsters are equally eager to know why this former guard soldier has fallen into such a situation, not to mention that there is an elf who is always nostrils in the sky with him.
The big-eared monsters are now working every day in addition to eating and sleeping, although the days are much better than before, but they are a little monotonous and boring, and it just so happens that there is a topic to adjust now, of course, they are very happy.
So every night after work, when the big-eared monsters had eaten and drunk, they liked to get together and judge the two unlucky bastards, the elf and Johnny, analyze the reasons why they were locked up, study their possible fate, and some even made lewd gestures and spat at the elf.
Some daring guys even sneak back with some pebbles during the day, and compete at night to see who throws the pebbles accurately.
Their target, of course, is the Elven Spy and his human accomplices.
Bullying a guy who is always on top always gives people a different kind of pleasure, and the big-eared monsters are extremely excited.
For these behaviors, the guards and soldiers always turn a blind eye, who makes that elf always look annoying, it is quite unpleasant to see, not to mention, he is an enemy.
And that Johnny, as a native of Hammondal, as a soldier of the Guard, betrayed everyone, betrayed the lord, and went to the elves, which made everyone even more disgusted.
This man always reminds them of Helmbow, the captain of the guard who brutally killed his own people and helped the Big-Eared Monsters attack the town.
Therefore, it is also appropriate to let them suffer a little.
But the big-eared monsters and the guards are happy, and the elven spies and Johnny are miserable.
Finally, one night, the unbearable elf yelled at the big-eared monsters with a bag full of pebbles, and picked up the pebbles that were already full of pebbles and fought back.
This elf's martial arts skills are good, and throwing stones to the head is also quite good, and a few big-eared monsters were hit in the eye socket by him, and they almost lost their blindness.
There were also a few big-eared monsters who scolded him by throwing stones into their mouths, and their teeth shattered.
This time he can be regarded as stabbing the hornet's nest, of course, the injured big-eared monsters refused to show weakness, but also picked up the stones on the ground and the stones that had been hidden in the past to fight back, and the other big-eared monsters who had not participated in the sport also joined in when they saw their companions injured and angry, so in the dungeon of Hammondale, the two sides staged an unprecedented flying stone competition.
The two sides come and go, and they are very happy.
The elf must be weak in a single force, and there are injuries on the body, although the secret weapon technique is good, but as the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, not to mention that the big-eared monsters have dozens of people with hundreds of hands, and the strength is great, and the shot is not serious under anger, so this elf was quickly beaten down by the stone attack of the big-eared monsters, if it wasn't for the guards who came in time to stop the riot, maybe he would have become the first elf in history to be thrown to death by a small pebble.
And poor Johnny was brutalized by the pond fish in this stone war, and his whole body was blue and purple, and it was almost impossible to see his original skin color.
Johnny, who was already mentally devastated and under great pressure, looked at the dying elves on the ground, and then looked at the pain all over his body, and felt that he was about to go crazy.
Unable to bear this life, Johnny thought about it and finally decided to turn himself in.
He was not a strong-willed man in the first place, otherwise he would not have been bought by the elves, and the reason why he was able to hold on until now was only because he knew that the elves were going to launch a military operation against Hammondal, and then he would be free again, and maybe there would be a reward.
But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that the elves haven't come over yet, and their lives will be over.
If you have money, you have to spend it!
As for how the elves will retaliate against themselves, let's think about it later, and it is important to save their lives for now.
Don't you see the big-eared monsters on the other side staring at you with burning eyes?
Jian Chen, who was having a headache about how to deal with the elven spies, felt very strange when he heard the soldiers report that Johnny was going to turn himself in and had important military information to confess.
After understanding the reason for the incident, the lord couldn't laugh or cry a little, but he didn't expect these big-eared monsters to inadvertently do him a big favor.
It just so happens that knowing the elves' plans will make it more certain to decide how to deal with this matter for themselves.
Soon, a scarred Johnny is taken to the castle hall.
In order for everyone to help analyze what to do with this matter, the captain of the half-elf guard, the sorceress, the thief Polly, the liar Robert, and the old butler were all pulled up from the bed by the lord and went to the hall to hear what the so-called important military situation was all about.
"My lord, my lord, I confess, I surrender, I just beg you not to lock me up with that damn elf and those horrible big-eared monsters, you just treat me as a fart, let me go!"
As soon as he arrived in the castle hall, Johnny cried.
Even if everyone was mentally prepared, they were still shocked to see his miserable appearance.
Jian Chen's eyes rolled, and he suddenly sneered: "Then it depends on what kind of surprise you can bring to the skill master, otherwise, I don't mind locking you up with those big-eared monsters." ”
Saying that, Jian Chen paused and said with a sneer: "I heard that these big-eared monsters from Diya are the same as ogres, they are all cannibals!" ”
When Johnny heard this, he was stunned at first, and then shocked.
The rumor that Diya's big-eared monsters are eating people is not fabricated by the lord, but spread when the big-eared monsters closed the road some time ago.
Legend has it that some of the survivors who escaped from the knives of the big-eared monsters have seen them collect the corpses of slain humans.
This strange phenomenon is the root cause of the rumors of cannibalism of the big-eared monsters, as we all know, the big-eared robbers do not eat people, and they always leave the scene after killing and robbing, and have no habit of collecting corpses.
In fact, the strange behavior of these big-eared monsters was instructed by the lich Dora to collect materials for the lich to make necromantic warriors, and the rumors spread around the Hammondales for unknown reasons and eventually evolved into the rumors that the big-eared monsters were eating human corpses.
The lord has heard this rumor, and Johnny has certainly heard about it.
"Your Lord, you can't do that! They're going to eat me even the bones of me! I say, I'll say everything! ”
(The second is more present, the 20th place on the rookie list, I hope you can help me again, don't fall down!) )
