Chapter 147: It's Beautiful
"Bang!"
Donner slammed his fist on the table, his wordless anger making him unconscious of the pain.
"Why is this happening? How can this be? These are more than 2,000 living people? Not ants!"
After watching the gladiatorial battle between the Titans and the Minotaur in the Colosseum, Donner and the others left the Colosseum.
As soon as I returned to the store, I heard this shocking news.
Now that the gates of Manhill have been closed on all sides, many soldiers are hunting down refugees in the city.
News of the massacre of refugees in several refugee settlements outside the city has spread throughout Manhill, and rumors have spread throughout the city, and people are panicking, and the streets have lost more than half of the pedestrians.
Even the port, which is full of people every day, is not a few people at this time, and they are all hiding at home, for fear of affecting themselves.
"According to information from our intelligence officers, the massacre was targeted at the refugees who had gathered together. Jason sighed, "In the central square, a notice from the City Lord's Mansion has just been posted, declaring that this is a clean-up operation for refugees to eliminate all factors that are destabilizing Manhill City. ”
"Why?" said Donner, coldly.
"This is related to the war in the Northland, where there are more and more hungry refugees, and thousands of them have gathered together. Fifteen days ago, a man named Robo, who claimed to be the savior, gathered together a group of five thousand refugees to form the Salvation Army.
The next day, another woman named Gandhi, who claimed to be guided by the God of Bread, was supported by hundreds of refugees as a saint, and established the Church of the God of Bread, claiming that believers would be able to eat bread every day without starving, and tens of thousands of refugees flocked to it.
Ten days ago, a man named Cody, shouting the slogan of eliminating the aristocracy, equality and freedom, led 15,000 refugees to break through a small city, the refugees occupied the city, hanged all the nobles in the city, and established a free principality.
Over the next two days, the Salvation Army and the Cult of Bread each attacked two small towns. ”
So far, the entire northern land of Ogugos has been full of smoke, and more refugees have gathered together, occupying the mountains as kings, painting the land as the leader, so far, there have been eighteen refugees gathered together, shouting their own slogans.
"So, the nobles of Manhill City were scared, so they slaughtered the thousands of refugees who had gathered outside the city?" Downer said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Jason sighed, "and most of the people in the city applauded the lord for his wisdom, and said that it was long overdue to clean up the garbage. ”
"It's ridiculous. Donner slammed his fist into the stone table again.
"The whole city of Manhill is now closed to the outside world, and there are a large number of soldiers in the city to capture refugees, who will be sold to the owners of various farms. Jason continued to report.
Donner closed his eyes for a long time and didn't speak, and the others were silent.
After a long time, Donner opened his emotionless eyes and asked, "How many refugees have we taken in?"
Hans said: "With the slaves purchased from Kodo, there are more than 800 refugees, and the five hired boats are fully loaded. ”
"No need. "From now on, start buying grain, iron ingots, saltpeter, sulfur, cloth, seeds...... In three to five days, we have to buy all the quantities I have listed, and after that, we are ready to sail home. ”
"Okay, Commander!" the men looked at each other.
"That's right, Captain. Then Jason said, "In three days, the navigator will be speaking in the central square, do you want to go and see it?" ”
"Oh?" said Donner, nodding, "that's good, let's go check it out." ”
"Okay, Commander. ”
After the assignment was assigned, everyone else went about their work, and Donner stayed alone in the yard to think, and from time to time took a pen and wrote and drew on paper.
He is different from other people, he can do his own thing, he needs to think about all aspects of things. Especially when the return voyage is approaching, it is guaranteed that there will be no mistakes and everyone will be brought back to Cancer Island safely.
"Brother Donner, drink water!" Donner was concentrating as Diana brought a cup of hot water and placed it on the table.
The children of the other craftsmen had all been placed on the ship, but Diana, who had stayed in the shop because of Duck.
"Thank you, Diana. Donner, who was originally in a bad mood, felt a lot more comfortable when he saw the well-behaved Diana.
Diana smiled sweetly and looked at Donner, as if she wanted to say something, but she wanted to say something.
Donner saw it and asked, "What's the matter, is there something you want to say to Brother Donner?"
Diana hesitated, bit her lip and whispered, "Brother Donna, are you going home?"
"yes! Donner was stunned for a moment and replied.
"Brother Donner, can you not go?" Diana looked at Donner hopefully, her eyes full of anticipation.
"No, how can you not go home. Donner smiled and said, "We've been out for a long time, and our relatives, brothers, and friends are waiting for us to go back." ”
"Oh!" Diana was extremely disappointed, her eyes full of loss and panic.
Donner looked at Diana, who was a little depressed, and then understood the little girl's eyes, and understood the meaning of her question.
She was afraid, afraid that after she left Manhill City, she would return to the days when she was not well fed and clothed, bullied, beaten and scolded, and had no hope.
Donner was inexplicably distressed, so he asked, "Is Diana willing to go home with Big Brother Donner?"
"Go home with Big Donner?" Diana raised her head when she heard this, her eyes full of surprise.
"Yes!" said Donner.
"Really? But I'm afraid. Diana was afraid to leave Donner's side, but she didn't want to leave Manhill City and go to a strange place.
"Don't be afraid, it's good there, and you won't go hungry. The people there are very welcoming and hospitable, and there are many, many children of your age, who will definitely welcome you. When the time comes, you can read, write, and play games with them. ”
Diana's eyes were full of longing when she listened, and she asked worriedly, "What about ...... Can you bring my brother with you? ”
"Absolutely. ”
"Thank you, Brother Donner!" said Diana, smiling happily, her eyes like a crooked crescent moon.
"Brother Donner?" Diana's eyes were full of longing.
"Huh, what's wrong?"
"Where is your home?"
"Brother Donner's home, it's far, far away, and it takes a long, long boat ride to get to the island. Donner put down his pen and said with a smile.
"Is there beauty?" the word beauty was taught to Diana by Donner.
"It's beautiful!"
Diana closes her eyes and imagines!
