No wonder the elven wizard didn't directly say this need, nearly 10,000 lives, it is indeed a torture problem. The evil process of doing this is no less than refining the poison of the water of calamity, and even surpasses it. Refining the waters of calamity poisons the enemy's people, and those who sacrifice these sacrifices are their own people. The situation is urgent, and it is definitely too late to temporarily arrest foreigners as victims.

Everyone looked at Croft with different expressions, waiting for the Dwarven King's decision.

Croft's own gaze fell on the elven wizard, his gaze shifting, but quickly swept away all confusion and became firm as a star.

"Magistrate, tell me how many prisoners are in custody in the Imperial City and the surrounding area. The so-called periphery refers to the area where you can run back and forth in a day with the imperial city as the starting point. Croft asked.

The sheriff was in charge of the security of the whole country, and the guards, prisons, prisoners, etc., were all under his control. The official swallowed, thought for a moment, and then said, "There are about a thousand people in total. ”

"That's the kind of person?" For the first time in his life, Croft disliked the small number of prisoners.

"Ahem, Your Majesty, the security in my country is still very good, and you are talking about the vicinity of the imperial city, and the security is even better."

"If you count 'potential criminals,' how many criminals can you get together?"

Everyone knew that the king was trying to find a way to gather 10,000 victims. Since there are not enough prisoners, we can only expand the scope and methods of collecting victims.

A potential offender, that is, a person who has committed a crime in the past. Ruffians in the streets, beggars in the streets, or civilians who don't matter if they are caught.

Like these people. You can catch as many as you want, but considering that it is an imperial city area, the sheriff finally said a conservative number: "Your Majesty, counting the prisoners in custody and potential prisoners, I can provide you with five thousand, if there are more...... I am afraid that the impact will be too great, and even cause riots that are difficult to suppress. ”

"Riot fart. Do you want to accuse them of their true purpose? Use your brains to do things, and when the time comes, just say that you can arrest them and fill them into the army, and then take them to a secret place or a place where there is no one to live. There will be no disturbance anytime soon. Croft scolded.

"Your Majesty is wise." The sheriff was embarrassed.

Now there are 5,000 people, but there is still a gap of another 5,000 people.

Croft frowned in thought, quickly paying attention, and looked at the other dwarven officer. "Army Commander." There are about 6,000 inhabitants in the town of Iceberg near the Imperial City, which is relatively isolated and poor. I command you to arrest the whole town on charges of rebellion. In this way, we have more than 10,000 people. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The dwarven officer nodded in agreement, without hesitation. It was this absolute obedience that got him to where he is today.

More than 10,000 people with different identities and experiences. People of different personalities do not know that their fate has been decided by a group of people in power. At a time when the great powers are in the game. People have never had the right to determine their fate, and they have been at the mercy of others, as it has been before, and it is still true this time.

"Sreip, I've gathered enough 10,000 people for you, it's up to you next, I hope you won't let me down." Croft looked at the elven wizard and spoke earnestly.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, with my strength, I am not enough to withstand the impact of casting this forbidden technique. After the forbidden spell is cast, my body will be wiped out, and this will be the last thing I will do for you. Our family has served you for generations, and I'm already the third generation. This is the honor of our family, and I will die with it. Although I am a wizard, I consider myself as as loyal to you as the knights who owe your allegiance. Here, let me kneel to you once again, and let me talk about the courtesy of the king. With that, the elven wizard knelt down and kowtowed to Croft.

Hearing this, Croft was greatly moved, and hurriedly helped the elven wizard up, and assured the elven wizard that if the matter could be successful, he would let his son marry a woman from the elven wizard family, so that the two families would become in-laws.

People have two sides, and elven wizards do not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of people in order to perform forbidden arts, which is a cruel and ruthless side. On the other hand, he devoted himself to serving the king, which was his loyal side. Two different personalities form a contradictory individual.

The meeting, which took place in the mirage, is over, and every decision made at the meeting will affect the future fate of the country.

……

On the same day, the imperial city of the ancient country of the white bear.

The sheriff of the White Bear Ancient Kingdom is strictly enforcing the king's orders, and his guards and jailers have gathered the prisoners together and escorted them to a valley near the imperial city. This is the place designated by the king, and the more than 10,000 people who have been sacrificed to the forbidden art will all be sent there.

The prisoners in the imperial city were the first to be assembled and sent out, for the same reason as had been agreed in advance, that they should join the army temporarily. For these prisoners, it is better to join the army than to go to prison, and most of them are still very willing, especially those who are convicted of serious crimes.

The sheriff rode on a tall horse and personally escorted the prisoners, holding the reins in his hand, and his eyes swept over the group of prisoners, and found that the prisoners were of different ages, the old ones were gray-haired, and the younger ones were in their teens. For a moment, he had the idea of imprisoning the young prisoner, but it was only for a moment.

After a vigorous and coercive escort, the prisoners of the Imperial City and the surrounding area were all sent to the designated valley. A large number of troops were already stationed there, and they were well guarded. When the prisoner enters the valley, it is equivalent to walking into a large prison, but the scenery is better.

Some of the prisoners still didn't understand why they were being sent, and one of the younger prisoners dared to ask, "Why did you bring us to such a place?" ”

The sheriff glanced at the little prisoner, sighed silently in his heart, and replied, "You will be compulsorily conscripted into the army, and you will contribute to the peace of your country, and I hope you will succeed, which will be the greatest honor of your life." Maybe your names will not be engraved on the monument and will not be remembered by the world, but at least I remember you...... I will always remember you. ”

After sending off most of the prisoners, the sheriff knew that a bigger problem was coming, and that it was obviously more difficult to apprehend "potential prisoners" than to transport real prisoners. But no matter how difficult it is, we must rise to the occasion, as long as we can win, these efforts are worth it. Weighing the weight, this is a very simple multiple-choice question.

When choosing from the perspective of the country, the lighter side often has to make sacrifices for the heavier side. This kind of thing is commonplace for sheriffs, but this time the sacrifice is greater.

……

On the other hand, the ancient country of the white bear, the town of Iceberg.

The army commander arrived at the town, surrounded by cold wind and snow, with an elite army, and he divided his troops into two parts, one following him into the town, and the other quietly surrounding the town. It's daylight, but invisible darkness has shrouded the town.

The mayor of the town led people to meet the commander of the army, not to see the huge difference in the identities of the two, but the relationship was extraordinary. The mayor of the town had learned combat skills with the commander back then, and it was a classmate relationship. After completing his studies, the commander rose steadily all the way due to his strong strength, while the mayor's career did not improve.

"Old classmate, what wind brought you here?" The mayor asked with a smile.

"It was a bad wind that blew me in." The commander barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and he rolled over and dismounted, walking side by side with his former classmates.

The mayor of the town invited the commander to the town hall and went there for a detailed discussion. The fireplace in the house was very warm. The mayor made a cup of hot tea for the commander and delivered it to the commander.

It's a pity that the commander didn't come here for tea.

"Old classmate, I have a question for you." The Commander placed the teacup on the table and took two steps forward to the mayor.

"We've been friends for so many years, just ask if you have any questions." Mayor said with a smile.

"Who do you think is more important than the current king?" The commander asked in a low voice.

"This ......" the mayor was stunned, he didn't expect his classmates to ask such a question, in the face of this kind of question, of course, it is impossible to say that he is more important than the king. After a brief moment of astonishment, he replied, "Of course the king is more important." ”

"Very well, that's what I want from you." As soon as the commander finished speaking, he drew his sword at lightning speed and stabbed it into the mayor's head. The mayor of the town died instantly, and he died very simply, which made him suffer some less sin, which was a parting gift from the commander to his former friend.

The mayor didn't even say a word, and fell down with his eyes glared, his expression extremely hideous. He would never have imagined that today would be his death.

The commander's mouth moved slightly, and he didn't know what to say to the corpse.

Everyone in the town hall was taken aback, and the sudden death of the mayor caused a small commotion. The people brought by the commander immediately drew their weapons and took control of the situation.

"Zhukav is in danger and rebellion, and I have come here with the king's order to correct him on the spot. All the people in Iceberg Town may be accomplices of Zhukav, you have to go back with me to investigate, if anyone dares to resist......" The commander raised the blood-stained sword in his hand and spat out a cold word, "Kill!" ”

The people who worked in the town hall were all dumbfounded, and someone immediately spoke for the dead Zhukav, thinking that Zhukav could not rebel, and there was no basis for rebellion in a small town like Iceberg Town. The man who tried to speak for Zhukav soon became the second ghost of the sword.

But all those who dared to resist were killed by the commander, and the shocking corpses dispelled the idea of rebellion. Thousands of the town's inhabitants obeyed, and were taken by the commander to the valley that was about to become hell on earth. (To be continued......)
