"Freshly captured Crusader mules! Fifty dollars each! Check it out! This tooth! This tendon meat! Feed the blade grain one meal a day! Guaranteed mining is fast by three points! "On a makeshift platform in the central square of Slave Town, the commissioned auctioneer raved about how sharp the goods were, how bloodthirsty and rebellious the prisoners of war were, and how they were beaten by the Iron Army to become loyal mules.

Simon found a plastic chair and sat down, and as soon as the cigarette was erected, a slave with a leaf-like mark on his neck hurriedly lit a fire, and Simon glanced at her, the little slave girl, as if she had offended this cold young man, fell to her knees in terror, and crawled away, despite the cold mud under her feet.

Simon sighed slightly, a lonely boat, how can he take care of all directions? He glanced at his companions who had spread out in tacit agreement and sat down, crossed his legs, and looked like the "look" that a solid person in the city should have, and Peter was unlucky, so he had to play the role of this young trotter, lighting cigarettes, handing water and getting clothes, who called Peter, this kid, added another account to Simon in Hydra before?

"Fifty dollars a head! Minimum of three! Ten or more give away a slave girl! The auctioneer shouted hysterically with a loudspeaker, and next to the funny bell pants was a group of naked female slaves in cages, many of whom were unkempt and resentful, and they must have been captured by the Crusaders during the capture of Crusader prisoners of war. This is not a deliberate slander, but the first stage of civilization after mankind crossed the tribal society of fairness, was the slave society.

Society is progressing and regressing, the laws and laws are stripped away, and human nature is lower than animal nature, but that's it.

Simon was not interested in Crusader prisoners of war, he had been in contact with all kinds of soldiers under the Knights of Fire a while ago, and knew that the most common bloody infantry had average actual combat effectiveness, and when fighting a good battle, they were bloody and fearless of life and death, and they were defeated and defeated very quickly. The crusaders had a large number of veterans and non-commissioned officers, whose role was to suppress this tendency as much as possible. It is this group of veterans who really have the will to sustain and the combat skills, and the problem is that these people all have a strong belief in the blood god, and it will be too difficult to turn it around.

Just as the buyers were whispering and commenting, someone suddenly shouted: "It's all over!" ”

There was an uproar, and everyone turned their heads sideways to see who the buyer was who was so generous and all-inclusive. Simon's front row, all the big men with white lapels, stood up in unison and hugged one of the leather-clad men. The square suddenly made a loud noise. Simon enhanced his sense of hearing and listened to the crowd.

"Oh, it's from the mines of Cold Wind Town! No wonder the pen is so big, this batch of mules, I'm afraid it's not more than 100? Can you eat it too? ”

"Why can't you eat it? Who don't you want to do business with in Coldwind? Do business with the Iron Council! That's it! Moonmoon Hasen, who sells hundreds of tons of saltpeter every quarter, is just a little bit of a slave laborer! ”

"I heard that Cold Wind Town was touched half a year ago, and within a few days, the slaves rioted, saying that hundreds of people died, and people are in a hurry to buy mules for fear that they will delay the mining?"

"Or else? Missed the order of the council, how many heads is enough for Hazen to cut off? ”

After listening to this conversation, Simon felt relieved, and watched the owner of the cold wind town mine who was indirectly pitted by him go down in person, point

After checking the condition of the slaves, all the strong and strong were branded on the spot, took out a few circulation coupons and sat back in the front row of Simon, closed his eyes and recuperated without making a move.

The fact that the first order went so smoothly obviously raised the atmosphere, and although Simon hated slavery from the bottom of his heart, he also had to pinch his nose and watch it. I have to say that it really opened his eyes. The Winter War destroyed countless villages and towns south of Iron City, and the neutral city-states not only destroyed Mandsville and Marietta, but also found various excuses to invade the uncooperative cities, whether they were the Iron Army or the Crusaders. The Iron Army is not clean in this regard, and took this opportunity to clean up those neutral city-states that look like gods. The cities that joined the Northern Alliance were all safe and sound, and with such an obvious shock, no matter how long-sighted they were, they had to greet the steel city envoy with their tails between their tails and smiling faces.

Large numbers of settlements were destroyed, the population was forced to flee, and the wandering slave hunters made a fortune. Simon has a status in Hydra and the Iron Army, so the news that should be known is naturally coming. The big cake of the slave hunters, whether it is the council or Hydra, will not let go. It should be known that in previous years, the price of a strong laborer was a hundred and doubled for those who were not sick, and a beautiful slave girl was a bottle of anti-radiation, five hundred yuan, and if it was a skilled slave such as a citizen of the city-state, the price was even higher.

After all, there are only a few iron mines like Ford City, where tens of thousands of people work at every turn, and today's small mines are just picking up the scraps of iron and coal mines that were excavated in the 20th and 19th centuries.

"Three of the Beauties of Mandsville! From the Mangcheng floral family, keep the body healthy and disease-free! I can take care of gardening plants and warm beds! As soon as the auctioneer raised his cane, three fair-skinned women with collars around their necks silently walked up to the stands, and when they saw the cane, they were instinctively afraid, and the cold fur was immediately taken off, and the white flower body was let by the slave owners below, and the auctioneer turned over a little bit.

Simon had been in Mandsville for a long time, and he had a good impression of the town, perhaps more of a sense of guilt, and he was the first to notice the signs of a Crusader gunboat attack, but he was the first to flee into the bomb shelter, forcing the officer on duty to close the blast door. The shame was fleeting. It was impossible for him to buy these three beautiful girls who were worth as much as seven hundred yuan to go back.

"Seven hundred and twenty!"

"Eight hundred!"

"Eight hundred and five!"

The bidding came and went, and the auctioneer saw the enthusiasm of the crowd below, and he was even more excited, and with a raise of his cane, the three women immediately put on various humiliating poses on their own, and finally were all taken over by a freight tycoon from Mill City for 4,000. The man did not shy away from it, and immediately began to prostitute himself during the day after paying the money, which caused a burst of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Simon was in no mood to continue looking, he held the purpose of observing the fugitive veterans of the Empire, and when he got up to leave, he stopped, and in the slave sale, he seemed to see a familiar figure.

"You guys go around first." Simon hid his doubts, sent Ramirez and the others away, and glanced at Peter, and the two understood, and slowly walked to the group of slaves waiting to be sold at the back of the auction hall.

Simon had a good memory of asking himself, but he couldn't find the familiar face in so many slaves who were all bowed and shackled, and he tried

Spoken: "Lori? ”

There was really a skinny skinny girl in the queue who looked up in confusion, and was instantly noticed by Simon, who walked over quickly. "Hey! Not allowed to buy here! The slave yard guard stopped Simon, but Simon pulled out his trouser pocket and half a pack of cigarettes to get out of the way.

"Lori?" Simon walked over to the girl who responded to him in disbelief, and the girl bowed her head again in silence. "Mandsville, lark, remember? I gave half of the postcard. Simon gently lifted the tip of the girl's chin, and where it touched, it was stiff.

"Are you ......still alive," Simon saw clearly the face of the once timid tavern maid of the lark, the beaming freckles, the lake blue pupils were dusty and there was still some longing for old memories, the girl looked at the handsome face under the blue pupils stupidly, Simon thought that this girl he had confirmed to be dead, the girl who came back from the dead would cry and be excited, however, the flame in her eyes was extinguished, not a single syllable was uttered, she bowed her head and followed the queue.

Simon clenched his fists, his steps were extremely heavy, he walked to the guard who was smoking his cigarette, resisted the urge to punch the fat pig's face, and asked with a pleasant face: "There is someone in there who is my friend, you make an offer, let's be private." ”

"Five hundred." The guard squinted at Simon and snorted, probably because he didn't taste the mellow aroma of the Red Star cigarettes from the Helsinki State Cigarette Factory, thinking that it was some low-quality tobacco rolled by himself. casually reported the number.

Simon then reached into his pocket, only to realize that his money was in Jonathan's suitcase, and he only had a ten-dollar coin in his pocket. "Give me all the money!" Simon said to Peter in a tone that was close to a low growl. The latter also rummaged through his pockets, and was still far from five hundred.

"If you don't have enough money, get out of here, don't charge here!" The guard scoffed.

Simon's brain suddenly burst into flames, he flicked the hem of his clothes, and held the python's revolver, the guard was startled, and was about to scream, but Simon gritted his teeth and said, "Is this gun enough!" I'm mortgaged! Change that girl just now! I'll live a redemption! ”

The "Uh......" Python Revolver given to Simon by Lippmann before the war is a top-level craft-grade firearm, made of alloy, and the surface of the fine chrome paint is still elegant and exquisite, and it is definitely loved by the most money-hungry masters such as mine owners and slave owners.

As soon as the guard was about to say yes, Peter immediately slashed Simon and scolded: "Are you having something wrong with your brain!" If you sell this gun, let alone three or four thousand! You were so poor when you first came to the city, you were not willing to sell it, and you actually want to use this gun to redeem a woman with a fate! Are you an idiot! ”

"It's a murderous gun! What's wrong with me redeeming a friend! I can use the revolver with iron bars! Simon called back, but Peter just wouldn't let go of his hand, he glared at Simon, and said word by word: "Good! ”

Immediately, Peter also flicked the hem of his trench coat, untied his holster, and reflexively said to the guard: "Gloc 17! Plus these three hundred, it's enough for five hundred! ”

The guard smiled and said, "What a strange city person, anyway, who one?" ”

Peter pushed Simon, the military boots staggered into the mud, and the young man with a dense beard said angrily: "Yes, it's all murderous things, so let you kill more!" So that I can go to heaven! ”
