Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 4 Demon Race Conspiracy

Soon, Zhang Tie learned a lot of information from that person. That person was Rawls, who was from the Principality of Titanic. Captured, and together with many people, was brought here by a demonized puppet army, and became slave labor and rations for the demonized puppet army.

The misery of the human race captured by the demons is simply outrageous. Not only do the human captives have to do more than ten hours of hard work a day, those who are physically weak or unable to work after being injured will immediately be demonized The puppets were eaten alive and became consumables for the demonized puppets.

"What are you mainly doing here?" Zhang Tie asked the question he was most concerned about.

"The main task of our captives is to open up the underground passage here. There are two passages here, one to the north and one to the south. There was originally a north passage underground here, and now that passage has been opened. , can be connected to the control area of ​​the demons, and the passage to the south has been opened for tens of kilometers!" Rawls replied.

Zhang Tie's heart was shocked, and he immediately understood what the mission of this demonized puppet army was here.

Because of the superiority of the human airship troops in the sky and the threat of alchemy bombs, the demons want to open a passage directly from the ground through the Cyrnes Plain. Once the demon army can appear behind the Terran Celnes defense line , Then, the defense line of the entire human race will collapse instantly.

This will not be the only method used by the demons in the Cernes theater, but it is extremely worth trying. For the demons, to implement this plan, they only need to put a demonized puppet army here. It is enough to throw some human captives over. This investment is not too big for the demons, but once successful, the rewards are huge.

"How many people are there in the demonized puppet army here?"

"About 300,000 people?"

"What about the captives of the human race?"

"There are probably more than 100,000 people. Every once in a while, some human captives will be escorted from the passage in the north as a supplement here."

As soon as he heard Rawls's words, Zhang Tie knew that the coalition headquarters had neglected the intelligence of the Forest of Bruma. Hidden in the forest of the fog and the moon is not a 300,000-odd demonized puppet army, but a 300,000-odd demonized puppet army plus underground passages that can pass through the demon-occupied area in an endless stream. prisoners transported. The underground space I see now. It has become an underground transit battle for the demons to implement this plan.

This information is very important, and it must be known to the coalition headquarters, and this plan of the demons must not be completed.

"Who are those who collude with the demonized puppets to watch over you?"

Mentioning those people, a trace of hatred appeared on Rawls's face. "Those are lackeys who took refuge in the Three-Eyed Society. After the Demons occupied the Principality of Titanic, the people from the Three-Eyed Society emerged and began to cooperate with the Demons, and cooperated with the Demons to rule the occupied areas of the Demons. , Under the rule of these people, some people have already joined the Three-Eyed Society in order to survive!"

"What's the current situation in the demon-occupied area?"

"The situation in the occupied area is very complicated. The demons are implementing a very bloody rule in the occupied area. At the same time, they have begun to divide the human race into different classes in the occupied area. Those who are disobedient are all transformed into demonized by the demons. Some puppets were raised by the demons as blood slaves. It was very miserable, and some were demoted to slaves. The hidden Three-Eyed Society families in the occupied area became agents of the demons to rule the occupied area. As an aristocrat, anyone who takes refuge in the Three-Eyed Society and is willing to become a lackey of the Three-Eyed Society will gain a certain social status, life and property rights will be guaranteed, and many human slaves and demonized puppets will be obtained as subordinates!"

This news also shocked Zhang Tie.

Originally, he thought that the demons in the occupied area would implement a scorched-earth policy against the human race just like the second jihad. Unexpectedly, the demons became more cunning and smart this time, and began to divide and disintegrate the human race from within. A new ruling strategy. Under such a ruling strategy, the occupied area of ​​the demons will continuously provide various supports for the army of the demons in the future. see the scene.

The duration of this jihad may be more than a hundred years. This is the preparation of the Demon Race for a long-term confrontation with the Human Race.

"Do you have anything to eat?" Seeing that Zhang Tie seemed to be thinking, Rawls swallowed while looking around Zhang Tie's body with longing eyes.

Seeing Rawls's appearance, Zhang Tie casually took out the two pieces of dry food and the water bottle he was carrying and handed them over, "By the way, what do those human captives here eat?"

Seeing the dry food and the water bottle, Rawls snatched it quickly, and started to gobble it up. While eating, he answered Zhang Tie's question in a vague voice, "There are fire mushrooms and some ferns in the ground...we... Just eat those things... there are some... bugs and mice... but there are fewer and fewer... those demons force... we... eat people... some people can't bear it... they jump into the magma to commit suicide It's gone... There are suicides here every day...I have never eaten anyone...I want to escape...my wife and children are here...I want to find a way out for them..."

Zhang Tie was silent, lamenting for these human captives. Since coming here, the fate of these human captives has been decided. How many people can endure such horror.

"By the way... are the troops of the human race... coming to rescue us?" Rawls asked Zhang Tie while eating.

Seeing Rawls' miserable and expectant look, Zhang Tie couldn't bear to tell him that he was the only one who came this time.

Seemingly aware of the meaning behind Zhang Tie's silence, Rawls stopped all his movements and stared blankly at Zhang Tie, "Could it be... are you alone?"

"Yes, I'm the only one who went underground this time!" Zhang Tie said in a deep voice.

Rawls opened his mouth, and the hope in his eyes was shattered at once. There were still two-thirds of the dry food in his hand, but he didn't eat it, but carefully wrapped it in paper after swallowing two mouthfuls of saliva. .

"I want...to find a way out of here...and take my wife and children out!" he said to Zhang Tie.

"You can't get out. From here to the outside hole, there are a large number of demonized puppets patrolling at many key positions. If you have the strength and reaction speed of a ninth-level fighter, there is still a little possibility. You If you go outside like this, it will only become the rations of those demonized puppets, and it is not easy for me to come in."

If he brought a person with him, Zhang Tie felt that he had no ability to sneak out without disturbing those demonized puppets. Among them, he certainly cannot guarantee the safety of Rawls, so for Rawls, the possibility of leaving here alive with his strength is too slim.

Zhang Tie's words made Rawls slump on the ground, as if he lost all his strength at once.

"Is your family here too?"

"Yes, my wife and one of my daughters are here..." Rawls sobbed in a low voice, grabbing his hair with both hands, "I can't watch them eat people ... I can't watch them being eaten by people... There are fewer and fewer fire mushrooms and those plants in the ground now... If this continues...they...they..."

Rawls could no longer speak, but Zhang Tie's heart was churning. By this time, if he just wanted to figure out the location and purpose of this demonized puppet army here, he had already overfulfilled his mission, and he could leave at any time.

But looking at the desperate and helpless look of the man in front of him as a husband and a father, and thinking of the skeletons he saw along the way and the hell-like situation of the human captives here, Zhang Tie couldn't help feeling sad .

Maybe it’s because he will soon be a father, so Zhang Tie has a deeper understanding of a man’s role and responsibilities. A father looks at his wife and children in hell but is unable to change. Such despair and helplessness , can really drive a person crazy.

Zhang Tie gritted his teeth, damn it, don't care...

Zhang Tie put his hands on Rolls' shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "Where are your wife and daughter, can you bring them all?"

Rawls raised his head and looked at Zhang Tie in confusion, "What are you going to do?"

"If there are not many people, I may be able to take you out of here!"

"Really?" Rawls almost jumped up. Zhang Tie quickly held him down, made a gesture in a low voice, and then looked at the demonized puppets and guys wielding whips in the distance. Fortunately, Haven't been found yet.

"I can take you to another place, but that place is a bit special, it will be very difficult for you to get out after entering!"

"Ah, did you find other hidden underground spaces in this cave?" Rawls asked in surprise, the light in his eyes flickered again.

"It's about the same!" Zhang Tie said vaguely, "That place is similar to this underground space. It is bigger than here, and the environment is relatively closed, but the conditions are better than here. The food there is relatively sufficient. The most important thing is that there are no demons to live in." Where do you find it, would you like to go?"

"Willing...willing..." Rawls nodded quickly, "As long as we don't become beasts here or become food for beasts and those demons, you can ask us to do anything."

"Can you bring your family?"

"Yes..." Rawls gritted his teeth...

...

A few minutes later, Rawls lay down on the ground, crawled towards the distant darkness again, and Zhang Tie was waiting for Rawls' arrival in a hidden place...

...

Two hours later, Rawls came. Not two people came with him, but more than thirty people...
