"What?!"

When Jiang Hao heard this, his jaw was about to pull to the ground.

Is this an intention to organize an army? 5,000 people were arrested at once.

If you speculate, it is very likely that Sardelius intends to use a purple crystal to turn all the people here into obedient demonic beast puppets.

Then attack the principalities in one fell swoop.

But as mountain bandits, the supreme goal of this group of people should be wealth.

However, the formation of an army, this kind of thing, should be considered a rebellion.

"Let's go, take me to see it."

After all, if these people had already turned into the embryos of demonic beasts, Jiang Hao really couldn't ignore them.

It's the equivalent of putting all the danger at home.

Under such circumstances, not only will the problems on your side not be solved, but even the entire principality will be finished.

It's hard to cross over once, and Jiang Hao doesn't want to end in a tragic ending.

"Marcos, immediately send someone to report the situation here to Duke Sophie, and then transport all these people back to Flower Town for treatment."

"My lord, there is no ...... in Flower Town"

"I'll figure it out, take it back first."

Jiang Hao sensed that none of these people showed any signs of being manipulated.

It proves that Sardelius has not yet attacked this group of people.

But what Jiang Hao cared about more was where Sardelius got this purple crystal.

This is clearly something that humans can't develop.

After giving the order, Jiang Hao and Old Brown walked to the periphery of this stronghold together.

At this time, I found that the black dirt had disappeared.

Although the trees have been corroded, it seems that there is a possibility that normal saplings will grow again.

In other words, even the environment here may have something to do with the two crystals that Jiang Hao searched for.

……

In the distance, two dark shadows watched what Jiang Hao and the others were doing, and seemed to enjoy the process of playing with these people.

"It doesn't look like it's going to be that easy to solve."

"The experiment is over, and the crystals have been destroyed by this kid.

"Let's go back, the master is still waiting for us."

After saying that, the two black shadows disappeared in an instant, and they didn't even attract the attention of Jiang Hao and the others.

Further inside, Jiang Hao saw a bloodstain.

There was a fishy smell and a foul smell in the air.

Jiang Hao had a bad premonition.

Then go deeper.

Jiang Hao's eyes widened.

Through the faint light of the fire, Jiang Hao could see that what was in front of him was a dead man.

More precisely, it is not the corpse in front of you, but the wreckage.

"Lake, what's going on?"

Lake shook his head.

"Like young and strong young people, they take them and don't know what they do, and old people and children...... became their food ......"

Jiang Hao realized at this time that they were not grabbing so many people for the sake of change.

The main thing is that these mutated mountain bandits are not eating food at all, but human flesh.

Because the habit of Warcraft is cannibalism.

"Bastard!"

Jiang Hao punched the stone wall next to him.

This kind of inhuman behavior makes it really difficult for people like Jiang Hao to accept.

As he walked forward, Jiang Hao faintly heard the sound of crying.

"And the living! Help! ”

Jiang Hao was sure that he had heard correctly, this sound should be the cry of a child.

After the search and rescue of Marcos and the elite troops of Flower Town, about four or five thousand people were rescued from the dungeon.

"How can there be so many people?"

"Lord Viscount, one person is simply not enough for a demonic beast to eat...... At first, Sardelius lured the homeless, and then went directly to the nearby villages to arrest them......"

Hearing Lake's words, Jiang Hao shook his head.

These people, if all of them are accepted into Flower Town, I don't know if the inventory on their side will be able to eat.

Flower Town has indeed been a lot richer during this time.

And it does require a massive influx of people.

Intellectually, Jiang Hao's mind told him that these people would at most accept these rescued prime-aged people back.

But looking at these children and old people, Jiang Hao couldn't bear to give them a few copper plates, and continued to let them be homeless.

"Big brother, are you here to take us away?"

A little child who was spinning in his eyes suddenly came over and grabbed Jiang Hao's leggings.

"Little one, you ...... first"

Old Brown was just about to pull the child away, but was stopped by Jiang Hao.

He crouched down, at the same height as the child.

"Don't worry, I promise to give you a home."

Looking at this little child, Jiang Hao was very distressed.

He made up his mind that he must resettle these displaced people.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we can wait until the large army comes, and then we can set off, and if you plan to return to your territory, you can receive a gold coin later, and if you have nowhere to go, you can choose to go to Flower Town."

After saying this, the people around looked at each other.

"Flower Town? Is it the poor town? ”

"No, no, no, I've heard that Flower Town has been doing well lately......"

"Isn't there a caravan from Flower Town over there? How could there be caravans in an economically backward town! ”

There are different opinions about the statement of Flower Town.

It seems that some of them were captured before the change in Flower Town.

After such a statement, about four or five hundred people decided to ask Jiang Hao for travel expenses and return to their original place of residence.

Most of the rest are homeless, and a small number of people have heard about the development of Flower Town, and are dissatisfied with their original lords and stayed.

After about half a day, the elder Corey arrived at Trian Hill with a large army.

A pair of stretchers to transport all the unconscious wounded back to Flower Town.

By the time they arrived at Flower Town, it was already dark.

The journey of one day and one night makes many people not very comfortable.

So Jiang Hao specially ordered people to distribute the grain reserves in the treasury to these people.

These people are probably starving for a long time.

When he saw the bread and sweet potatoes and other grains in front of him, he couldn't hold it back at all, so he pounced directly.

Seeing that these people were safe, Jiang Hao breathed a long sigh of relief, and then sat directly on the stone pier on the side.

"Lord Jiang Hao! Are you alright? ”

Old Corey and the others noticed Jiang Hao's tired state and hurriedly came over to express their concern.

Jiang Hao waved his hand.

"I don't have anything to do, I'll call Adrian over later, there's something here, and I still need him to do the statistics."

In fact, this time Jiang Hao is not completely without gain.

That den, after all, is a bandit's stronghold.

There was a great deal of gold and silver in it.

After Jiang Hao went in at that time, he made a rough estimate that after returning to the caravan their original property, there would be at least thirty or forty thousand gold coins.

When he was relaxing, a person walked in front of Jiang Hao.

"May I ask if you are Lord Jiang Hao?"
