Chapter 118: Recruiting New People
White City.
Since the news of the death of the Grand Duke circulated in the White City a few days ago.
The departure of a large number of citizens in Baicheng also caused the streets of Baicheng, which were originally bustling, to become crowded all of a sudden.
Looking at the silent White City, a soldier of the White Knights Legion patrolling the streets sighed.
The soldier also knew that the situation in the White City was very delicate.
Because after the death of the Grand Duke, although Miss Sarah became the new Grand Duke.
Obviously, Miss Sarah's prestige was not enough, so the nobles and merchants who had been shocked by the bloody methods of the previous Grand Duke began to make small moves.
Although two days ago, after a caravan led by the Grand Duke entered the White City, the nobles and merchants who had different hearts stopped their small movements, but after seeing the caravan enter the White Castle, there was no movement at all for the past two days, and some nobles and merchants began to move again.
Just when everyone thought that the White Castle was going to remain silent.
The hanging door of the White Fort was suddenly opened, and as the hanging door of the White Fort was opened, a troop galloped out of the White Castle.
Seeing the troops rushing out of the White Castle, the nobles and merchants who were about to move began to gather their own soldiers, knowing that they had not forgotten the bloody methods of the previous Grand Duke.
And the soldiers who helped the former Grand Duke in the bloody slaughter of the nobles and merchants who escaped were the people of the White Knights who now galloped out of the White Castle.
Just when the aristocrats and merchants who were about to move were terrified, these aristocrats and merchants also realized that something was wrong.
Because this time it was not only the White Knight Legion who came out of the White Castle, but there was also another team of cavalry in the ranks.
And after seeing these cavalry, many nobles and merchants also saw that this cavalry that suddenly appeared was the escort of the caravan that entered Baicheng under the leadership of the Grand Duke a few days ago.
Just as all the nobles and merchants were wondering what the cavalry was going to do, all the cavalry suddenly dispersed.
And when they saw the cavalry disperse, the nobles and merchants also settled down.
You must know that with these small scattered troops, even the doors of nobles and merchants may not be opened.
As the cavalry teams arrived at the mansions of the nobles and merchants, the nobles and merchants also knew the reason for the arrival of these cavalry.
"They actually need slaves in the mansion, it's really whimsical that they know that they are going to lose, so they want to find slaves to bury with them!"
This was the first reaction of most of the nobles and merchants who had different hearts after hearing the words of the arriving cavalry.
Although they were not satisfied with the fact that the dying-in Grand Duke wanted to rob him of his property, the nobles and merchants also knew that the situation was stronger than people, and at this time, he must be the fastest to die.
So although he was reluctant, he made a willing expression, and then asked someone to arrange for all the slaves in the mansion to be assembled.
Looking at the chubby figure in the distance, Darren subconsciously frowned.
Although he was very dissatisfied with this businessman, Darren also knew that he could not disrupt the mentor's plan, so he still endured the intention of attacking in his heart.
Just after Darren finally endured the intent to attack, the fat merchant came to his side again.
Behind him, a long list of slaves. Some of them were low-ranking slaves in shabby clothes, ordinary slaves in servants' clothes, and some singers in revealing costumes. After seeing the slaves who were taken out, Darren nodded, although he was very dissatisfied with this merchant, but he didn't make any small moves, you must know that Darren, as a former slave, of course knows how many slaves there are in a merchant's mansion.
"Mr. Knight, I wonder if you are satisfied with my slave!"
The chubby businessman said to Darren with a smile.
Hearing the merchant's words, Darren only nodded faintly, and then walked towards the slaves gathered in the courtyard of the mansion with the three scourge cavalry behind him.
And when he saw four heavily armed knights walking towards him and the others.
All the slaves panicked at once, and seeing that the slaves were flustered, the fat merchant also found that it was not good, and hurriedly asked his men to teach the screaming slaves some lessons, if an accident happened because of the screams of these slaves, he would be unjustly killed.
When he heard the words of the fat merchant, Darren also stopped, and leisurely watched the slaves being taught by the merchant's men.
After seeing these slaves as if they were livestock, Darren was also grateful to Lu Yu for letting him grasp his life, because it was Lu Yu who allowed him to stand here instead of being one of these slaves who looked like livestock.
Looking at the slaves who had quieted down, Darren walked in front of all the slaves.
Seeing Darren approaching, the slaves in front of Darren also kept retreating, although they were already crowded with people, but the slaves in front of Darren still kept wanting to retreat.
As Darren stood still, Darren began to carefully observe the slaves in front of him.
When he saw the slaves with their heads under his gaze, Darren found that he was looking at his former self, the lowly little slave.
Darren thought for a moment, then came back to his senses as he shouted at the scared slaves in front of him.
"Listen up, you damned slaves! Now I have a chance here, this is an opportunity to set you free, if you want to be free, if you want your children to be free, then go for it! However, I can also tell you that this opportunity is very cruel, and you will pay with your lives if you relax a little, so if you want to live freely, come out! ”
Hearing Darren's words, the slaves who had been scared and panicked suddenly quieted down, and they all looked at Darren in surprise and disbelief.
And the chubby businessman behind Darren laughed in his heart at this time.
"It seems that the new Grand Duke is really not good, and even wants to rely on slaves to fight! Ha ha! This joke is so funny! ”
And when Darren felt the eyes of the slaves, he also understood how Lu Yu felt after seeing himself and the others at that time.
"You shitty are good! If you want to be a free person, then stand up for me, of course, if you want to be a slave for the rest of your life, and your children will be slaves for the rest of your life, then there is no way to change your mind! Because waste is waste! ”
Hearing Darren's roar again, all the slaves looked at Darren in surprise as always, but Darren also saw a hint of wanting to try in the eyes of some of the slaves.
After seeing the look of wanting to try, Darren also knew that most of the things were successful.
Moments later, Darren left the merchant's mansion escorted by a smiling merchant, with more than thirty more slaves behind him.
In this merchant's mansion, there were more than 500 slaves in total, but only the thirty people who were really willing to fight for freedom were the thirty people who followed him, and when he saw the number of slaves behind him, Darren sighed.
Although the Mentor had told him that there would be very few slaves willing to fight for his freedom when he set out, Darren never imagined that there would be such a few.
Although Darren sighed at the current situation of the slaves not seeking progress, Darren knew that he still had something to do, so after quickly collecting his emotions, he took the slaves behind him and walked towards the next mansion.
While Darren was heading towards the second mansion, the rest of the Calamity cavalry were also recruiting in various mansions within the White City.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the sun went down again, and the stars appeared in the sky again.
Lu Yu stood on top of a watchtower on the White Castle, quietly looking at the silent city below the mountain.
Though it had prospered before, it was now in decline, and only a few places in the vast city still had this dazzling light, and the rest was only endless darkness.
Just when Lu Yu saw the current situation of Baicheng and sighed.
A group of bats also flew in the sky above Lu Yu, and the moment this group of bats saw Lu Yu, they quickly flew behind Lu Yu, and a moment later, a figure appeared in the group of bats.
"Master, I'm back!"
Hearing Dracula's words, Lu Yu, who was still emotional, just nodded slightly, indicating that he knew.
After a while, Lu Yu finally walked out of his emotion, and when he felt Dracula behind him, he asked Dracula.
"How's the slave summoned!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Dracula hurriedly responded in the back.
"Master, a total of more than 10,000 slaves have been gathered, but according to Darren's words, there are many of them who have their own careful thoughts!"
Hearing Dracula's words, Lu Yu nodded and asked.
"According to my prediction, we should recruit at most three or four thousand slaves this time! How much more! ”
Hearing Lu Yu's question, Dracula hurriedly answered.
"Master, if you recruit slaves according to the average number of calamity cavalry, it is true that only three or four thousand slaves can be recruited in the entire White City, but there are still many nobles and merchants in the White City who are loyal to the Grand Duke, and after they heard that the Grand Duke needs slaves, they contributed a large number of slaves in their families, so the calamity cavalry recruited more than 10,000 slaves!"
Hearing Dracula's words, Lu Yu also roughly understood the reason, he only estimated those slaves who fought for their freedom for the reason, but obviously those nobles and merchants who were loyal to the Grand Duke did not know this, so they planned to replace them with quantity. This also led to the emergence of values other than Lu Yu's predictions.
But although it seems that this time the recruitment is nearly three times the value predicted by Lu Yu, but you must know that many of them have their own careful thoughts, after the real elimination is over, I believe that this value will be greatly reduced, and at that time, the remaining people are the real newcomers of the Calamity Legion.
