Chapter 42 Provisional Decision

Cizer and his party soon came to the mine that the mayor had mentioned, under the low clouds, the lead-gray soil covered the hills, the huge alchemy steel equipment exposed its hideous iron arms, and the countless caves on the mountain, but it was so deserted that there was no human figure, which made the entire mine exude a strange feeling.

"Be careful, you follow me. Anna commanded.

Cizer frowned, he knew that this order was given to him at all, and the other veterans were very cooperative, and began to enter the mine to explore. As long as she is still alone, she doesn't know where to go.

"Let's go, follow me Captain Anna, there will be no danger!" Gel is also Anna's horseboy, and he looks like our boss is a bull, and he hooks up with Cezel's shoulders familiarly.

Even as Cizer silently pulled his hand off his shoulder, Gehr was not angry, and still stood by Cezel's side, sword in hand, as if I was protecting you.

Cizer was completely speechless, under his wide military uniform, a hideous alchemy arm guard was ready to fight at any time, and there were many low-level demons who died under him during this time, not to mention terrifying, but it was also famous.

But there were always people who thought he was a baby who hadn't grown up yet, which made Cizer a little depressed.

The three of them explored a deep mine cave together, when a screaming cold wind struck, making Cizer's body slightly numb. It's hard to imagine how ordinary people who don't know how to mine magic stones in this environment.

"Illumination!" Anna was the first to reach a pitch-black fork and instructed Cizaire to them.

"O great power of light, please give me the power to illuminate everything!" Cezel's muffled chant rang out, and a ball of light suddenly appeared in the cavern, emitting a soft light.

By the light of the Enlightenment, Anna stepped forward to observe the two diverging paths.

"Let's go, right!" Anna decided quickly, almost glancing at her before striding towards the hole to the right.

As he approached, Cizer took a closer look and saw that there was a layer of dust on the ground on his left, and although there were many traces of man-made things, it was supposed to be left from the past. In contrast, there are few traces on the right, but judging from the dust, someone should have been in and out recently, and there are still half footprints left somewhere.

These are enough to prove that Anna made the right choice.

And Cizer's iron arm hidden in his sleeve was also clenched, because it also showed that they were not far from the gathering place of those rebels!

......

In the deepest part of the mine, a group of ragged men were gathering shivering. The reason for their trembling was not only the sound of the wind whistling in their ears, but also the noise that resounded in this empty cave.

Some are the sound of people tapping as they walk, some of them are breaking through the air, some of them are smashing into the ground, and some of them are the sounds of human conversations.

"What to do? Here they are. We're all going to die!" said a scrawny young man in despair, and under his dry, messy hair was a pair of parched eyes in which there was no glimmer of hope.

"What else can I do? fight with them!" the man who said this looked a little stronger than the previous one, but his ribs were still clearly visible, and his body was covered in mud and dirt, which had not been cleaned for some time.

There were about fifty or sixty of these people, and their expressions were either panicked or numb, and it was obvious that they had lost the life that normal people had.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and some of the people who still had the strength were holding the "weapons" around them.

Crowbars, pickaxes, shovels......

These people are real miners, not to mention the weapons of the regular army, they don't even have enough to eat!

The first person to appear in front of this group of people was a sassy female knight, probably because of this, they were all stunned, and they forgot to wave the weapons in their hands.

However, the slightly more sturdy young man reacted, for it was a wary Cizer and a smiling Gehr.

"You ...... Are you here to kill us?" the young man nervously raised the crowbar in his hand, and although it didn't seem to them to Cizer at all, it was his last sense of security.

At this time, Cizer had also discovered the state of this group of people, which could not be called a rebel army at all, it was simply a refugee from the old era!

Cizer could imagine how this group of people could survive in a cave with insufficient food and darkness, and always on the lookout for someone to come and take them out, and that kind of life was not for people at all!

Cezel opened his mouth to comfort the group, but Gehr on the side covered his mouth and motioned for him to listen to Boss Anna.

"That's right, we're here to kill you. Anna spoke so amazingly that Cizer almost shouted. But her next words surprised him even more.

"But you don't have to die, I can keep most of them alive. ”

Anna's words gave hope to the people in the cave again, but it was too weak for a gust of wind to blow it out.

"Whether what you say is true or not, even if we survive, the life we lived before is simply worse than death, and no one wants to go back. The young man came out of the shadows, and Cizer realized that this man was one of the rebels mentioned in the information given by the mayor, Barr.

Anna thought for a moment and continued, "It looks like none of you look like rebels, so can I ask? What the hell is going on?"

Barr gave a wry smile, "Rebels, is that what they say? What a big hat......"

At this time, Cizer was followed by other members of the team, and the sophisticated armor, weapons, and well-trained military style made them completely abandon resistance.

Barr's voice echoed through the hollows of the empty mountain, "We used to be laborers in the mines, working hard every day to eat. A little over a month ago, someone in our mine suddenly went crazy, so we reported it to the town, and it turned out to be ......"

"Out of the high-purity magic stone mine?" Anna's voice rang out, interrupting Baal's narration. High-purity magic stone mines are dangerous, because high-purity magic can have irreversible effects on people's bodies, and it is common for mining workers to go berserk.

"That's right, later we found out that a small vein appeared here, the magic stone is very pure, but the reserves are very small, it should be an associated vein. Baal pulled out a piece of raw ore from the corner, and Cizer was surprised to see many irregular glittering crystals poking out from all directions of the ore, and you can imagine how big a magic stone it would be.

And that raw mine......

Cizer shivered coldly, he knew that a madman would not be stingy with his life for the sake of this vein.

"The mayor suddenly gathered us together, saying that he wanted to treat us well, but we all knew the mayor's stingy nature, so everyone was careful. "But we didn't expect him to want to poison us!

Cizer sighed softly, he could imagine what would happen after that, they were partly dead, partly alive, and then fighting the mayor. In the end, they had to hide in the mines, which was a place they knew and why they survived.

"But they still don't want to let us go! They lie that we're rebels! But we're we? You say we are!" Barr's roar echoed, no one felt that he was in danger, he was certainly not a rebel, he was just a young man who had been cornered.

"We just want to live! We just want to live! What's wrong with that!" Barr roared uncontrollably, but the crowbar in his hand fell to the side. He slowly crouched down and covered his face, and Cizer could see tears slipping from his fingers.

"Captain......" Cizer couldn't help but exclaim.

However, Anna did not give him a chance to continue, and directly announced the fate of these people in the mine.

"Barr, the order of our soldiers is to obey, and the higher authorities want us to deal with the rebels here, then we can't go back empty-handed. Only those who are not on the roster, they ...... Do you know what I mean?" Anna's voice was soft, but in this empty cave, all sounds were naturally amplified, and everyone heard the result.

No confusion, no crying, everyone agreed with the answer. I don't know if they have learned that this is the best outcome, or if they have long lost their thirst for life.

At this time, Barr suddenly raised his head, looked at Anna and made a request.

"I can promise you to die, but can you also grant me a request? I have a sister who sneaked away after the accident, can you protect her?"

Anna stared at his face for a long moment, then nodded in agreement.

Baal suddenly laughed, and a ball of light condensed in his hand, and Cizer noticed that this person had actually cultivated to the level of a two-star! A person with such a talent actually mined here! A burst of foul language floated in Cezel's ears, and he didn't know who Geer was scolding.

"Brother, don't!" At this time, there was a sensation in the crowd, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl wanted to run over, but was stopped by the people around her, and tears quickly soaked her whole face.

"After my brother is gone, you have to take good care of yourself. Barr smiled at the girl, and then, under her horrified gaze, slapped the ball of light in his hand to his head!

Disheveled!

"No!" the girl's desperate cry moved many of the veterans, who even turned their heads away from the tragedy. They also wanted to avoid this, but they were not allowed to do it, and now they had more important things to do.

The counting of the numbers was quickly completed, and when all the survivors were taken out of the mine, they couldn't even open their eyes because of the not-so-strong sunlight outside.

Surprisingly, there was already a group of people waiting for them outside the mine, and the leader was the mayor who had caused all this.

"Thank you very much, you guys have been so helpful. Leave the rest to me, and I'll take care of it properly. This time, the mayor did not show a flattering look, but smiled without a smile.

At this time, the girl behind Cizer and the others was revealed, and she recognized it at a glance, and the mayor of the town suddenly said excitedly.

"Yes, it's this bitch! I was going to threaten her brother with her, but I found out that she was gone, and she was hiding here. The mayor's face flushed with excitement, and there was a hint of madness in his sickly expression.

"Quick! give her to me! I'm going to give her a little bit of bitterness, and maybe something else. The mayor said unscrupulously. His self-confidence probably came from the fifty or sixty men behind him, all of whom seemed to be the town's ruffians, some of whom were the mayor's servants.

"I'm sorry, but we're only responsible for arresting the rebels, and everyone else needs to be brought to the military headquarters for inspection. Anna directly refused his request, and the veterans behind her looked mocking.

The mayor's eyes instantly turned cold, and he was ready to tear the last of his face.

"Damn, stinking bitch! Don't be embarrassed! I'll lift you up when you come, and if you listen to me, you'll all make money! If you're disobedient, hum. I'll kill you!" and with the mayor's greeting, the ruffians behind him rushed up, threatening to fight.

Anna was silent, pushing the poor girl to the front, looking as if she had to hand her over under pressure. The mayor's evil gaze remained on the child, and the expression on his face became more and more crazy.

The girl looked at Anna with tears in her eyes, struggling, and the mayor's claws were getting closer and closer to her.

"That's right, listen to me, I promise you all have gold coins to earn! You stinky soldiers, aren't you just short of money to spend! Tell you, serve a good uncle, I ......."

Disheveled!

Blood Blossoms!

A fountain of blood gushed out, and Anna lightly inserted the thin sword in her hand back into the scabbard, the expression on her face was indifferent, as if the figure that had just fallen was just a withered leaf.

Cizer, who had been pressed by Gehr just now and did not rush out, was stunned. He never thought that his captain would actually kill someone!

Still a civilian!

Although he deserved to die, Cizer just wanted to teach him a good lesson, and the idea of killing people was just a flash.

The captain is terrible!

The people behind the mayor had the same idea, and they never thought that their mayor would be killed right under their noses.

What can I do?

And the killer was still leisurely scanning them, and everyone couldn't help but feel numb when they looked at Anna, this one really could kill!

"Now that the mayor is dead, I'll give you a chance. Anyone can expose the mayor and others, and I will decide what to do with you in the order in which you expose them and whether the crimes are serious or not. Anna didn't continue to kill, and although Cizer didn't think it would be a matter of time to kill everyone present, it didn't seem like Anna meant that.

Without the support of the leader, this jagged team was unexpectedly weak, and with just a few words, they began to scramble to report others.

At this time, Gell whispered in his ear: "You know why I didn't let you out, right? It's just that reporting is not easy to write, you know, this stuff is complicated. ”

Looking at Ger's serious face, Cizer suddenly felt that power was really a very wonderful thing.

"Do your best, and you'll get to this level in the future. Gehr was very optimistic about him, patting him on the shoulder and encouraging.
