After only two hours of sleep, a little to make up for the lack of energy in the past few days, Changle was awakened by the noise of the whole castle, so he got up and immediately went to work.

The troops had set off one after another under the leadership of Lola and others, and the whole army was in good order, except for the occasional neighing of horses, only the footsteps of Qi brushing and the occasional metal clashing of armor and swords.

The refugees were also organized by Louis "Iron Fist" and moved towards the banks of the Start River, preparing to cross the river to take refuge in the forest, and along the way it was inevitable that adults and children would cry and shout along the way.

The refugees did not want to go to the forest, they were accustomed to living in castles, women and children sheltered in barracks vacated by soldiers, most of the able-bodied men were recruited into the army, and the rest had tents to live in, and there was never a shortage of food, which was a rare comfort in the war.

But this arrangement was out of Chang Le's prudence, and he left Fort Stanley with the main force, leaving only a thousand defenders, in case they were mixed with the refugees, and it would be too easy to be attacked.

In addition, Fort Stanley guards the border artery, and after the decisive battle, no matter whether it is won or lost, it is inevitable that a large number of enemy troops will return to the country in triumph or defeat from this place.

Ricky was also in the long queue of refugees, holding the toddler in her arms, and every time she walked, she would look back at Changle standing at the head of the city.

At first, she was wearing leather armor and an iron helmet, holding her child and preparing to go on the road with the army, but Chang Le pulled her out of the crowd and sent her to evacuate with the refugees.

Ruiqi didn't dare to oppose Chang Le's decision, but she refused to move with tears in her eyes.

Chang Le also understands Ruiqi's mood to some extent.

The girl he saved when the enemy slaughtered the village, lost her parents, husband and newborn child at the age of nineteen, and was devastated herself, even if her injuries healed after treatment, her heart was still dead, and there was only lifeless despair in her eyes.

Her first redemption came from the orphan entrusted by Chang Le, and raising a baby who was also suffering was not only a comfort for her after the loss of her child, but also a new responsibility and goal, at least a reason to live.

The second redemption comes from a new mission she undertakes in the army.

Chang Le accepted Ruiqi, who had no combat effectiveness, as a soul servant, just to see that she was breastfeeding, and wanted to find a wet nurse for the orphan he saved, so that she could raise the child in the beast soul space to be able to walk.

But because he often goes out himself, in order to facilitate contact with his subordinates, he released Ruiqi from the beast soul space in order to use the mind of the soul servant to communicate.

As a result, over time, Ricky became almost Changle's aide-de-camp, taking on more and more work, from convening military meetings to transcribing maps and documents.

And she has a gentle personality, low-key and friendly, her appearance is not so beautiful that Lola and Miranda are jealous, but she is delicate enough to make Skinny Monkey and Victor and others like her, in short, she gets along well with the soldiers and has excellent popularity.

An ordinary peasant girl, suddenly got such an opportunity, worked with a group of "generals", was valued by everyone, and could take revenge on the invaders who destroyed her family, Ruiqi finally "lived" completely, smiling more and more, and the light in her eyes became more and more brilliant.

Therefore, it must be difficult for her to accept that she is suddenly asked to be an ordinary refugee now.

Of course, Chang Le would explain to her that the front was too dangerous, and that she was evacuated with the refugees because of the safety of her mother and daughter.

Ricky didn't seem to be persuaded, and at the same time didn't refute, always looking uncomfortable with "something to say", her lips moved for a long time, and she only squeezed out one sentence:

"The child doesn't have a name yet, so I don't dare to name her casually. ”

"She's your child, why don't you dare to name her?"

"She's also your ......," Ruiqi said, blushing and quickly adding, "...... You saved it. ”

"Then take a word from your name and call it Xiaoqi. Chang Le smiled.

"That sounds like a pariah...... Ricky frowned slightly, "Commoner names should be like Anne and Alice." ”

Chang Le smiled:

"I forgot to tell you, she is a pariah's child, I am also a pariah myself, my real name is not Chang Sler, but Chang Le!

Ruiqi caught a glimpse of Chang Le's expression, and immediately apologized in a panic:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry....... I'm not looking down on untouchables! It's even more amazing that untouchables can achieve great things like you!"

"It doesn't matter. Chang Le pressed Ruiqi's shoulder and stroked it, "Even if you look down on the untouchables, I don't blame you, the whole continent is like this." ”

"I don't look down on you. ”

Ricky whispered, kissed the sleeping baby on the cheek, and looked up at Chang Le and smiled shyly:

"I want to call her Leqi, is that okay?"

Chang Le was slightly stunned:

"Take a word from my name too?"

Ricky's face turned even redder:

"I ...... I didn't mean anything else, she ...... She was saved by you after all. ”

Chang Le was silent for a moment, smiled and shook his head:

"In this way, others will inevitably misunderstand, misunderstanding that she was born to the two of us. ”

Ricky's lips moved, her face turned redder and redder, and she was in that state of "unable to speak".

A strong man came from nearby and laughed "hehe":

"Why, didn't the child be born to the two of you? I said old man, you are really a widow killer, see one and get the other!"

Ironfist Louie, who has been promoted to lieutenant, once witnessed the affair between Changle and the widow Amy at Camp Wild Rose, and fought him in a duel because of jealousy, and now naturally treats him and Rickie as a couple.

In fact, because Ricky is always around, the soldiers and refugees throughout the castle are told the same story.

At this time, Chang Le's face also began to turn red, and he waved his hand at Louie, telling him to avoid opening his mouth, and at the same time smiled awkwardly at Ruiqi:

"Okay, the child will be called Leqi, and I will be her stepfather. ”

Ricky blushed with joy on her face, nodded vigorously, and then kept looking at Chang Le with complicated eyes, still reluctant to leave.

Considering Ruiqi's mood, Changle appointed her as the "head of the refugee camp" and asked Louis to allocate twenty soldiers to her to maintain order in the camp.

He also told her that it was important to lead everyone to live and work in peace, and that the camp might be able to develop into a small city in the future, just like the Wild Rose Camp in the north, where Ricky would be the lord of the city.

But the appointment seemed to have had little effect on Ricky's reassurance, and she left Fort Stanley with joy and sorrow.

After Changle watched Ruiqi go away, he also rode out of the castle on a Dire, and when he reached a no-man's land, he summoned a hideous necromancer and rushed to the Misty Mountain at the setting sun, and rushed into the abyss.

Due to the fierce battle between him and Elliot two days ago, the cliff cave was damaged a lot, but fortunately, the altar and portal in the main hall are still intact, and the population of the Demon Dragon Clan is not large, so they can continue to live after adjustment.

Forty-six captives were held in Pabadova and had been waiting here for a long time.

The forty-six scarred men were the only survivors of the Eight Thousand Hanhai Iron Cavalry, and although they were now "in trouble", their faces were still difficult to hide their fierceness, and they cursed a few dirty words at the guards around them from time to time.

For the sake of the seriousness and mystery of the sacrificial ceremony, Chang Le deliberately changed into a black robe, his whole face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, and his professional talent was also switched to the secret legal profession, and then came to the captives and silently watched them.

When the captives saw the suspected enemy leader, they were even more angry, such as "despicable and indecent", "only shameless plotting", "wearing a hat and not daring to see people", and so on.

Chang Le couldn't help but shake his head:

"Originally, out of my mercy, I wanted you to faint and die without pain......"

"Kindness fart!"

"Hypocrisy!"

"Lao Tzu will not spare you if he is a ghost!"

When a group of people heard the intention of putting them to death, the curses became louder.

Chang Le didn't bother anymore, turned around and walked up to the altar, and embedded the soul gem into the otherworldly portal.

He then followed the example of the old patriarch and recited a few unfathomable verses such as "Great King, Lord of darkness, accept the offerings of your faithful servant."

This is a pretending to be a ghost to read to the clansmen, Chang Le doesn't think that there is really a certain demon king hiding in the other world, waiting to listen to his dedication.

This was followed by the twelve high priests chanting the mantra.

The high priest's spell doesn't really matter, the key is where they stand, and after lighting up the fighting qi, it can resonate with the magic circle and activate the soul extraction function of the altar.

Then twelve of the captives, who were bound well, were carried up.

"Do it now, don't wait for them to fall unconscious!" Chang Le said coldly.

The circle of the twelve altars can make the victim fall into a coma, but now Chang Le does not like this function, he not only wants to kill the prisoner, but also wants to hear the other party's screams.

The twelve priests received the order and immediately put their swords down.

The captives began to howl, scolding Changle's family and their ancestors over and over again.

Chang Le smiled:

"Don't just cut the blood vessels, cut the meat off for me one by one!"

The sacrifices were stunned, this kind of sacrifice only needs to be bled up, why do you have to cut it piecemeal?

But since the patriarch has an order, they also carry it out to the letter.

Even the fiercest robber could not withstand such torture, and the scolding soon turned into a begging for mercy, and the cry for mercy soon turned into a muffled howl.

By the time the howl turned into a hissing sound before the breath was broken, blood filled the circle, and even flowed out of the groove and on the floor of the stone hall.

Not only was the altar silent, but the remaining thirty-four captives were silent, all of them sifting chaff, their faces pale as chaff.

Chang Le smiled and looked at the twelve souls extracted in his soul vision.

Most of them were focused by the circle and shot into the soul gems, making the portal shine, but there were a few gossamer omissions, some of which went straight through the door, and the other part floated over and into the dark ring on his hand!

The power of the evil ring "Call of Death" is growing!

Perhaps this ring was made by the human soul after these sacrifices!

Chang Le was vaguely worried, he was still able to restrain the evil thoughts coming from the ring at the moment, what would happen to it when it became stronger in the future? Will it be controlled by it and completely become a villain like the old patriarch?

Isn't it normal to torture and kill living people now, not to mention the future, and to be excited about it?

This thought flashed through him, and he immediately reminded himself:

"Kill these people not because I am happy, but because of the capital crime they have committed!"

Every Hanhai robber has a lot of civilian blood on his hands, and how can they not "abuse" their slaughter of men and the destruction of women?

Lao Tzu, this is the way for heaven!

"Clean up the minced meat, and take the corpse to feed the necromancer!" Chang Le sneered and ordered, "Take the next batch!"

The next few batches of captives have already been coaxed, and they don't dare to scold anymore, they will only beg bitterly, but the treatment has not improved, and they are still cut in pieces.

The more fierce the robbers cried, the better Changle was in a good mood.

He smiled and came to a supplicant, crouched down and looked at him:

"What, are you old and young?"

"Yes, yes, yes! My parents are old, and I have three wives and five children, and I have to support them!"

"Wow, three wives, so blessed!" Chang Le gave him a thumbs up.

"Please, I'm willing to work for you, and I can let my family redeem my property!"

"Do you really have three wives? you can't lie to me, right? What are their names? Where do they live?" Chang Le asked with a frown.

The man hurriedly gave out a list of names and addresses, and finally shouted "If you don't believe it, you can investigate".

Chang Le nodded:

"I believe, I believe, I will send someone over and kill them all, so that your family can be reunited. ”

Then he laughed, enjoying the pleasure of playing with the lives of others, and no longer caring about the other party's crying and scolding, he turned back to look at the sacrifice, and let the ring continue to be nourished by the soul.

But at the moment when the second batch of souls was collected, the ring in Chang Le's hand suddenly became hot.

Then came the tremor, an invisible high-speed fluctuation that almost made his soul tremble!

Then, an old voice that could be called "ancient" sounded directly in the depths of his soul:

"Thank you......"
