Chapter 692: Coolie (Three Watches)

Not long after, Su Bai and the three finally rushed into the residential area before the Imperial minions arrived.

There was no accident, they were arrested along with the residents here.

Crowds of personnel were driven towards the area where the large circular stone was.

In that area, Lopez drove the mecha to float far in the air, looking coldly at the laborers who migrated like ant colonies, and said coldly on the communication channel.

"Not enough."

Han Jie's voice rang out in the communication channel.

"It's the Legion Commander."

Immediately, Han Jie led part of the Magic Legion troops and flew towards the south side of the Forsaken Land, and they wanted to drive another batch from farther away. Almost all the people in the vicinity of the abandoned mine have been arrested, and there is not much labor left nearby.

For the next three days, a steady stream of servitude was driven over every day.

The number of laborers who were brought in was in the millions.

Of course, the Astor Empire also doesn't have such a long chain, and all of them pull at the same time.

But the reason why they called so many servants was also very simple, to rotate! If there is only one batch of laborers, it will not be able to pull far at all, and the distance between pulling from the abandoned land back to the capital of the gods is more than six hundred kilometers.

Even if you don't pull something, it's enough to walk these 600 kilometers. Not to mention pulling such an overweight thing, and no machinery can help.

Captain Romagus of the Bone Legion looked at the gathering of laborers. But Lopez showed no signs of moving, and his expression became more and more gloomy.

You must know that this escort mission was given to him by the emperor, and now things are messed up. If he delays any longer and fails to arrive at the imperial capital at the appointed time, he will definitely be punished.

"My lord, we're running out of time."

The adjutant next to him also said eagerly.

"I see."

Romagus replied blandly.

Then Romagus walked towards Lopez, and it didn't take long for him to be in front of him.

"Lord Lopez, I see that the crowd is almost gathered, and it's time to go. We've been delaying long enough before, and it's not a good thing to keep the Emperor waiting too long. ”

Lopez just glanced at Romagus coldly and replied coldly.

"There is not enough manpower."

Hearing Lopez's words, Romagus burned with anger in his heart, this guy is definitely deliberate, gathering so many people, it's not enough!

If he hadn't been able to turn his face now, he would never have been polite.

Romagus replied with a suppressed emotion.

"There are enough people gathered, at least more than a million at this scale."

"A school of trash fish."

"Then how many people do you say you want to leave!"

"Are you in a hurry? It's okay to set off now, and if they can't pull it, let your legion go up. ”

"You! Well...."

Bruises popped up on Romagus's forehead, but he swallowed it eventually.

After receiving a response from Romagus, Lopez raised his hand and gave the order.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

Han Jie, who had been waiting behind him, replied respectfully.

Soon the Imperial soldiers went up and began to drive the first servants up, pulling at the chains, which were stretched out with ropes to do as much labor as possible.

Unfortunately, Su Bai and the others were among them, and the three of them could only go up and pull out the heavy chains.

The wandering minions of the empire, with electric whips in their hands, reprimanded viciously.

"Listen to me, whoever is lazy will be executed on the spot."

Su Bai's expression was a little strange, and he had the illusion of going back to prison to work as a coolie. It seems that in the Astor Empire, there seems to be not much difference between the people at the bottom and the prisoners in the prison.

Soon everything was ready.

Under the joint command of a herald soldier, all the servants began to pull hard at the same time!

"Hey!"

......

The round boulder, covered in bumps, moved, and began to move forward.

Of course, they didn't pull the round boulder directly, and during the time when they called for labor, the people of the Astor Empire were not idle, they brought a huge tray forged from star meteorite, and at the bottom of the tray were fixed rows of giant meteorite pillars that resembled rolling logs, and they fixed the round boulder on top of the tray.

But even then it doesn't move fast, it's just barely enough to see, but it's super strenuous.

This can be seen from Su Bai, Su Bai's face is tense, and every step is difficult.

"Can you hold it?"

Digaharu was a little worried, and asked Su Bai and Rengaken in a low voice.

"To be honest, we wouldn't be able to hold up if we were compared to you, but we have no problem comparing ourselves to other servitudes. As long as you can't bear the large-scale labor, you will naturally be replaced, so don't worry. ”

Su Bai replied as he pulled.

"When it's time for the rotation to rest, we'll find a way to change positions, find the denitor and join them."

"Okay."

Su Bai responded.

Sure enough, after pulling for about half an hour, the speed dropped significantly, and a lot of labor began to fall to the ground unsupportively.

At first, the soldiers did not hesitate to go up and smoke to death.

But after another batch of deaths, he found that the speed was not sped up, but slower, so he blew a special whistle.

All the servitude stopped, and the substitutions began.

Su Bai felt that his arms were numb, and this was enough to choke.

And according to the number of labor called, if there is no accident, it will only return to him after five rotations, so it can barely bear it. Of course, the weak physique is something else, and at the end of the first round, hundreds of people died without accidents, and Su Bai and they could see the soldiers who were supervising, dragging the corpses and throwing them out.

Seven days later, on the barren land, countless hard laborers pulled the chains and walked forward step by step.

Su Bai was tired with the moving troops, although it was said that he could take turns to rest. But when resting, you can't lie down and rest, you still have to follow along.

But fortunately, these Astor Empire people are not stingy in terms of food, they still know very well that if they don't even guarantee food, it is estimated that all these gathered laborers will die of exhaustion in a few days.

"There are so many people that we can't find them at all."

Su Bai said to Digaharu in a suppressed voice.

"It doesn't matter, we just need to make sure that these minions of the empire will not kill people like crazy, as long as this stone is transported to the imperial capital, these laborers will still be dismissed sooner or later."

Digaharu replied calmly.

"You have a point."

"But..."

Digaharu hesitated halfway through.

Su Bai looked at Digaharu with some curiosity, and rarely saw him slurming.

"What's wrong?"

Digaharu gritted his teeth, his eyes were slightly red, and he said: "The more I think this ghost thing, the less it is a good thing, how many people have died for this thing..."

"Digahalu, be sensible."

Wren Garken interrupted him.
