Chapter 657 Brewsterburg
Brewsterburg is located in the plain between Nocland and Valkx, with fertile land and is not weaker than the grain producing area of the Valoran Plain.
With enough wheat fields to feed hundreds of thousands of people, and potatoes and sweet potatoes grown on the margins, Brewster's produce has long been the base of food supply for the southern frontier of the empire.
A hundred years ago, Brewsterburg was a neutral zone between the Old Kingdom of Grand and the Old Duchy of Walquez.
In order to deal with the powerful Noxian Empire, the Kingdom of Grand and the Duchy of Valks chose to co-govern peacefully in Brewsterburg, concluded an alliance and jointly managed the land located on the border between the two countries.
Even when the Noxian Empire invaded, the brutal soldiers did not excessively destroy the arable land in and around Brewsterburg, which allowed Brewsterburg to retain the integrity and prosperity of the castle after the war, allowing more people to choose to settle in Brewsterburg.
After the Noxian Empire completely conquered the two southern borders, Brewsterburg, which was adjacent to the giant city of Norkland, became the second most important strategic location, and there was a faint trend towards the giant city.
Thanks to Brewsterburg's strategic location, this large castle is home to 60,000 permanent troops, echoing Cockland in the east.
If someone chooses to besiege the city, it will take only seven days for reinforcements to arrive by a rapid march, and if they choose to storm it, Brewsterburg will need at least five times as many troops to take the dangerous city.
On this day, the peace belonging to Brewsterburg was broken by scouts, and the guards guarding the city gate did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly removed the barricades, and watched the scouts rush into the main fort on horseback.
Ignoring the fast horse that was foaming at the mouth and falling to the ground, the scout jumped off his horse panting, and sent the expedited military information to Vlad, the general who defended the city.
In the hall of the main castle, Vlad frowned and put down the secret letter in his hand, his face was a little unpleasant, which made the hearts of the others present chuckle.
"Take him down and have a good rest, Ingersoll stays, and the others go out."
Although the others were a little dissatisfied with the lord's preference for Ingersoll, they could only dare not raise objections, so they could only retreat silently and respectfully, and after Ingersoll released the detection magic and personally confirmed the safety of the environment, the two big men sat together.
Compared with the previous solemnity, Vlad's face looked excited, and he actually took a bottle of Frost Margaret directly and filled it for Ingersoll and himself.
"The Lord is coming, his legion is less than a week away from here, and this is about to become the territory of the Emerald Realm...... It's been fifteen years since I've been here, and I didn't expect to wait until that day. ”
Hearing this, Ingersoll, who was holding the wine glass, also had a little more smile on his face.
"yes, we've been waiting for this day for so long that we almost forgot who I really am, but it's all worth it."
"For the Demon Lord, for the Emerald Lord! Cheers~"
"For the master!"
The two of them gently clinked glasses, poured the silver-white high agave into their mouths, and let their throats be burned by the hot liquid, enjoying the unbearable pain of ordinary people.
Frost Margaret doesn't have the mellow scent of Imperial Scarlet, but it's best to drink in the cosy south, reminiscent of their days at Nightblade training camp.
"The only question is, how are we going to give this castle to that lord quietly?"
Vlad put down the silver wine glass, a little worried between his eyebrows, Ingersoll thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice.
"At least we have to arrange a decent death for the loyal 'Vlad' general, and you must not expose the secret of your fog tail, the fog tail's camouflage ability is a dark hole card, once it is discovered, the consequences are unimaginable, and when necessary, a big purge can be carried out."
This time it was Ingersoll's turn to pour the wine and watch as his partner filled himself up, and Vlad smiled and nodded.
"'I' am definitely going to die, needless to say, it's just that Vlad is loyal to Lord Timoses and will definitely not do anything to surrender without a fight, not to mention, these 60,000 soldiers defending the city are not easy to deal with,
We want to keep Brewsterburg as intact as possible, and on that basis, let the adults take control of it...... I wonder how far you can go? ”
Although he is an old partner, Vlad also knows that there are some secrets that he can never touch, and he has always been very clear about friendship and career.
With a slight smile, Ingersoll took out a tube of the strange purple potion and stood on the table.
Vlad's gaze was fixed on the alchemy potion, the expensive alloy seal with a magic seal attached to it, and through the heavy quartz tube, Vlad saw a purple spot like starlight.
"According to the master's will, all those die-hard elements who can't be persuaded to surrender are eliminated, and the noble officers of the wall-riding faction don't need to have any reservations, Vlad, this time there will be a lot of deaths, many, many people, and what we need is to cause chaos, only chaos can cover up the truth......"
Picking up the strange potion, Vlad was a little confused, and he instinctively felt that it was not a good thing.
"This thing looks weird enough, can you explain this?"
Now that he has taken out the top secret, Ingersoll naturally will not have any reservations.
"Of course, this potion is called [Crystal Demon], it is the latest product of the Fedellett Alchemy Workshop, it is said to be a mixture of Hex Crystal and some ancient potion, the use method is injection in the body, and the incubation period of the mutation ranges from one day to one week,
According to the level of willpower and mood swings of the injector, the injector can obtain super vitality and crystal power through the potion, and the whole person will be strengthened by the battle, turning into a bloodthirsty killer who has lost part of his mind.
There are not many condemned prisoners in the dungeon, and I don't think they will let go of this opportunity for revenge, by the way, this time I am also responsible for recording the experimental data of the potion, alas, it is still a bit troublesome. ”
"Is the injector controllable? Will it cause harm to our people? ”
"Because this thing is the first generation of products, the crystal demon is not controllable, but it can guide the injector to form an inherent hostile impression through words and thinking, to be honest, I don't have much experience,
Anyway, it's best not to take this risk, before creating monsters, we must make arrangements in advance to avoid accidental injury......
By the way, maybe we can let 'Vlad' die in such a monster, as long as we find a suitable substitute for the dead, this thing will be easy to do. ”
Vlad, who nodded, did not deny Ingersoll's suggestion.
"How much is this?"
Ingersoll smiled slightly.
"A full twenty is enough for us to do something, as long as we don't destroy the key fortifications, minor castle damage is not a problem......
The two talked for a while, made sure of something, and only after Frost Margaret had drunk it all did Ingersoll get up and leave.
Restoring his usual majesty, Vlad muttered to the guards.
"The enemy is about to march on the city, immediately gather all the senior officers, I have something to announce."
"Yes!"
……
"Damn, it's almost a war, why am I still here to serve these stinky rats in the gutter?"
"Who do I ask? Besides, it's better to guard a dungeon than to die on the battlefield,
Don't sleep! Call you idiot! It's time to eat, damn bugs, accept Lao Tzu's gift, don't be too stinky, don't wait for the expiration date! ”
The voice engraved in the depths of his soul opened Kelvin's eyes of hatred, and the environment before him was still a damp and dark underground prison, where dark green moss and plaque grew on the wall skin near feces and urine, and became food for rats and bed bugs.
Even the blazing torches in the hallways could not dispel the darkness and coldness around them, and the stench of rape from the soul tormented everyone's olfactory system and destroyed the survivors' remaining desire to survive.
Here are countless cold and mutilated bones,
It's Brewsterburg's most desperate hell on earth, yet it tortures the souls and bodies of innocent people.
Kastor, in Valoran semantics, means 'the unredeemable'.
The prisoners here are all poor and pathetic Kastor.
Including the self who was taken away from his new wife.
Here, Castor is not even as good as a mouse, at least the rat is free to come and go in and out of the cell at will.
Struggling to get up from the ground, Kelvin, with a lame leg and his hands bound in chains, staggered to the cage fence and patted the cage with his hand.
Even if he is in hell, even if he has lost everything, he does not want to die.
When you die, you completely lose all possibilities.
"Please, please, sir, give me, food ......"
The prisoner's dry throat, which burned like flames, struggled to make sounds, and finally the only thing that could keep him alive was uttered.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Lord Kelvin talking, I thought it was a rat who became a sperm."
"Rats? You think too highly of this guy, even a mouse is more comfortable than him, right? ”
As if sensing that his words were not aggressive, the guard outside the cage continued.
"Lord Kelvin, I'm afraid you don't know, your new wife Megan was lost after she was tired of being played with by Lord Tuttle, and in order to visit you, Miss Megan actually agreed to our conditions, and volunteered to spend a long night with a few of us,
Hey, we promised her that we'd let her in and see you as long as she lasted a month, and there were two days left before the month, and you wouldn't die before that, or we wouldn't be able to explain to Miss Megam,
After all, we have to count on you to help us move Miss Megan next month, and ask me for fifteen copper coins to find a prostitute, but the kind Miss Megan never wants money...... In other words, is the watch technology getting better and better? Under the repeated attacks, even I couldn't hold out for three minutes......"
In the humiliation of the dungeon guards, Kelvin gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot and hateful to the ground, the man's hands clenched together, long nails piercing the filthy flesh,
At this moment, the pain in the flesh was nothing compared to the pain in his heart, but unfortunately, he could do nothing but continue to beg for mercy.
"Please, my lord, give me food."
"Haha, obviously his beautiful wife has suffered such humiliation, this coward still wants to eat, what an out-and-out waste."
"If Miss Megan were to see her husband like this, would she say she would give up on this useless man altogether?"
"Hey, it's hard to say."
"When the time comes, when you get tired of playing, you will trick that idiot woman from Mei Gan into a prostitution hall and let her make money for us......"
The two dungeon guards outside the cage with a large iron basin looked at each other and smiled, and together they poured some of the iron basins used for the night, and pig food like white maggots wriggled from the edge of the basin into the foul-smelling stone trough, which was almost full.
Kelvin let go of his hands and buried his head in the stone trough without hesitation, sticking out his tongue and gulping down the urine-smelling liquid food.
To the laughter of the dungeon guards, Kelvin licked all the liquid food from the stone trough, shrank back into the corner, and closed his eyes.
[Megan, at least I have to see you one last time before I have the courage to die]
His vision slowly sank into darkness, and his body's self-protection mechanism caused Kelvin to quickly fall asleep.
"Kelvin."
An unfamiliar voice appeared in his ears, and Kelvin, who had already suffered from all kinds of malice, shuddered, and ignored the voice in his ear as if he couldn't hear it, as if he could avoid malice in this way.
"Kelvin, do you want revenge?"
"Want to get the power to kill them?"
"Or do you want to be a real coward and die in humiliation?"
"You only get one chance......
Reluctant to open his eyes, Kelvin's bloodshot eyes stared at the hooded man who didn't know when he appeared outside the cage, through the hood, Kelvin could only see a pair of cold eyes of ice blue.
At this moment, he knew that the mysterious person in front of him was far more terrifying than those evil guards.
Such a being would definitely not be someone guarding the other side.
"Who are you?"
The voice of the man in the hood is like the eyes, and there is no emotion.
"It doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I know everything about you, and I know how much you want revenge, so I came to you."
Gritting his teeth, Kelvin shifted his body against the cage fence for the first time when he wasn't eating.
Even if the man in front of him was a demon, even if he needed to sell his soul, he recognized it.
As long as you can give him strength, give him the power to take revenge......
"Please, you, give me, strength."
"Tell me, what would you do if you had power?"
Without the slightest hesitation, Kelvin whispered with a soulful hatred and murderous intent.
"Kastor's guards, and ...... Tuttle and the soldiers who bullied me...... Damn it! ”
Taking out the precious syringe, the cold voice of the hooded man softened a little.
"Stretch your arms out, endure the pain, and you'll get the strength you want."
