Chapter Seventy-Nine: Giant Labor
The next day, the Earl of Charles was arrested for "embezzlement".
The characters involved in it were imprisoned and transported to the nearest district of the Rossay Wall: the Taurus District.
The armed forces of the aristocratic group, in front of the giants, are vulnerable.
That's right, a small number of the people of the Rossay Wall saw it with their own eyes.
Giants, acting on orders from government soldiers.
Those giants, assisting the soldiers, fought with the private soldiers of the nobility.
They serve as meat shields to block the charge in front of government soldiers, and the small-caliber bullets of AK-47s cannot cause damage to giants.
The "Gatling Gun", the production method and transportation channel of this new weapon, is strictly controlled by the government.
All the armed forces that opposed the government were pushed out by Giant Ping.
The giants did not brutally eat people, and during the battle, they kept the "humanitarianism", and once the soldiers who surrendered their weapons did not attack.
People have seen that the giant who originally ate people stood obediently in place, and suddenly, the giant, who existed as an enemy, became a "companion".
At the end of June, the government announced the abolition of aristocracy and slavery, and from then on, there were no more nobles, commoners, and slaves on Palladium Island.
The government no longer levied taxes on grain production like the aristocracy, but instead required the people to perform military and industrial service.
Those who do not have a job, and those who are willing to serve in the army, can join the new government system, and in addition to food and housing, they will also pay their monthly salaries normally.
After purging the nobility, the government proclaimed to the whole people:
"We have learned how to control the giants, and henceforth the giants will no longer be enemies of humanity, but will exist within the walls as our working partners."
The giants were led by soldiers as exhibits and roamed around the towns.
The naked giants, dressed in crude clothes, partially covering their waists and thighs, with numbers and names sewn on the clothes, the soldiers ordered the giants, to work in the fields.
At first, people were afraid of the terror of giants, but when giants replaced cattle and horses, helped the people for free, harvested crops, and transported food, people gradually talked about the benefits of giants.
At the end of the day, people who have seen giants with their own eyes are still in the minority.
Most of the refugees in the Wall of Mary were informed in advance and fled into the Walls of Rouse.
Basically no one survived in the villages that really encountered the giants, and like Allen, the people who saw the giant's cannibalism and arrived within the walls alive would not account for more than one percent of all refugees.
People were locked up within the walls, and it was all hearsay about the creatures like giants.
In fact, many people don't have a real sense of giants.
Although we listen to adults talk about the humans outside the walls every day being eaten by giants and we can't get out of the walls, for people who have lived inside the walls for a hundred years, it is like some kind of fairy tale that scares children.
People prefer to believe what they see with their own eyes.
What they saw was the giant carrying stones and building a factory, the giant working in the fields and harvesting crops, and the giant standing in the deep river and building bridges.
In the display of giants in the town, there is such a link:
Those who are willing to touch the giants can step forward and stand in the palm of the giant's hand.
The giant will lift you up, and you can stand at a height of more than ten meters and look down on the crowd.
From the fear at the beginning, to the courage to try on stage, to the long queue, even women and children joined this entertainment activity, and the time only took half a month.
A month later, at the end of July, the government announced a message to the people:
- The Wall of Mary is officially opened.
The government will continue to carry out the restoration of the wall of Mary, the original town will be abandoned, and the government will re-plan the area for new development.
July 30, Rossai's Wall of Eubitya, Outer Gate.
This is the territory of the Wall of Maria, and the Legion has built a new military base based on the old uninhabited villages and towns.
Ian was counting supplies, lifting the thick linen cloth that covered the wagon, revealing a series of neatly arranged wooden boxes.
Each wooden box has a number and a seal written on it, and the seal is written with detailed information: production time accurate to the minute, producer, packer, production area, outbound batch, transport team number, transport person...
Ian had the same document on his side, and under his command, the soldiers took down the wooden boxes one by one, checked the data, and signed the documents in strict accordance with the handover procedures.
These are spinal fluid agents, and such strict manufacturing supervision and transportation supervision is to ensure that there are no problems in any link.
After all, these potions are considered extremely dangerous goods, and in Ian's previous world, each box had to be labeled with a red skull as a warning.
The Unsullied Giant, who has not been trained by the "Power of the Ancestors", is an absolute unstable factor, even if only one potion is lost, if it is used by some ulterior motives to do bad things, it will cause a great storm of public opinion, and make the people who have gradually accepted the labor of the giant feel fear and uneasiness.
For this reason, all matters related to the giants are supervised and dealt with to an excessively high degree.
"Thirty potions, all of them have been counted."
Hannes handed over the handover chart, and Ian gave him a cursory glance and nodded.
These potions were transported to the interior of the base.
Then, one by one, the condemned prisoners were pulled out of prison.
The quantity of each batch of medicine is determined in advance, and the information on the seal is accurate to the person who injected the medicine, and when he determines the list of condemned prisoners, he will place an order for Hanji's spinal fluid medicine factory.
At present, the supply of potions is still in short supply, the number of death row prisoners within the walls is quite large, and the aristocracy is originally a system that is difficult to control.
The law and order situation in each territory is different, and in better places, there are only a few human trafficking, quarrel accidents, and fights every year.
In places where law and order are poor, there are even robbers and horse bandits, and last year, a large number of refugees entered the Rossi Wall, and the chaotic situation of the loss of the power of the ancestors has bred a lot of vicious incidents.
Ian had previously cleared a bandit camp in a remote area on his way to liquidation, where three unclothed and chained women, two of whom committed suicide after being rescued, and one who suffered from aphasia and re-employed in a textile factory with the help of the government.
These are just a small part of the misdeeds committed by these condemned prisoners, and it is difficult for people in modern society to imagine what they will do for these uneducated and extremely low moral standards.
