Chapter 1068: Rebuilding the Army

"We demand trial!"

Under the statue of the goddess in the central square, a fat slave owner tied to a wooden stake screamed in protest. He was so fat that several demon knights had no place to start when they tied him up with ropes. A large piece of fat squeezed out from the gap between the ropes. The tender skin and flesh were all fat, but he still yelled loudly: "The Tears of the Goddess is a trading city. You can't trample on this city with iron hooves. Damn it, there should be someone who understands the situation? Do these damn black knights only know how to kill people and release slaves?"

Tied together with this fat man, there are more than 100 slave owners, all of whom are the real masters of the city of Tears of the Goddess and the masters of tens of millions of slaves. More than 100 slave owners are tied to rows of wooden stakes and exposed to the scorching sun.

…

“Knock knock…”

Shen Lie Longma walked slowly in the street. There were wooden stakes on both sides of the street, with corpses pierced on them. Most of these corpses had already dried and rotted, and most of them died in a very miserable way, with their bodies pierced by wooden stakes. Vultures were circling over the corpses, pecking at them. Less than 5 meters away from me, a black crow was chirping and pecking a half-rotten eyeball from the corpse.

I frowned, but did not avoid it. I glanced at it. Under the corpses on the wooden stakes, the crime of the deceased was written on a blood-red wooden sign: slave, escape, this is the reason for death. Slaves are private property, without their own thoughts and freedom. If they want to escape, they must die. This is also the basic law of slavery.

Ugly law.

On both sides of the road, the squares of slave exchanges were filled with slaves wearing shackles, big and small, male and female. Some of the young ones were even in their mothers' arms, and the old ones were around 50 years old. If they were older, they would lose their labor power. Such "waste" masters would naturally not keep them. The male slaves were almost all topless, while the young female slaves were mostly malnourished and underdeveloped, with tattered coarse cloth tops covering their barren bodies.

I was dressed in military uniform, with bright armor and a majestic warhorse. I looked out of place here. Perhaps, in the eyes of these slaves, I was a true "conqueror"?

All the way to the central square, there were more people here. The slave owners' troops were all killed. The demon palace riders stood neatly on both sides of the street to maintain law and order, but as I ordered, none of these demon palace riders made a sound, otherwise they would be exposed. Once these slaves understood that these demon palace riders were alien demons, they would definitely cause panic, and naturally they could not be used by me.

"Sir!"

A two-star god-level boss demon commander held a bloody spear and said, "According to your order, all slave owners have gathered in the central square. At least 100,000 slaves have come to the goddess statue."

I nodded. It was time for me to speak.

The fat slave owner was still roaring at me like a pig being slaughtered: "Damn it, who are you? Are you mercenaries from afar? If you are really mercenaries, you should abide by the mercenary rules. You can't use force against the Free City! If you need money, then release us, and the lords of the Goddess's Tears will hand over gold and silver. One million gold coins, how about it?"

I looked at him and sneered.

The fat man shuddered and said, "Maybe it's too little. How about five million gold coins?"

"Heh..."

"Ah? My lord, do you still think it's too little? Well, Goddess's Tears is a trading city, so it should have more coins. We can take out 2000w gold coins, how about that? My lord!"

According to the current 7:1 exchange rate between gold coins and RMB, these 2000w gold coins are equivalent to 300wrmb, which is actually not a small amount, but compared to Wangyue City, it's nothing.

I slowly raised my arm, spread my five fingers, smiled and said: "Demon Knights, get ready, kill all the slave lords in one minute, no one will be spared!"

"God damn it!" The fat man roared: "You stubborn demon, who are you? You... Why do you do this to the Tears of the Goddess?"

I turned and looked at him, and shouted: "What did the slaves on both sides of the street do wrong? Their bodies have to struggle on the sharp wooden stakes until they die? People are born free regardless of their status. Why do you do all this to them?!"

People are born free regardless of their status!

When this sentence echoed in the square, a large group of slaves all looked at me with wide eyes, in complete silence, and almost everyone was shocked. Yes, they were slaves, and they probably never dared to think about being born free. Many of their parents were slaves, and they were born slaves. However, isn't everyone very eager for freedom in their hearts?

I drew out my butterfly sword, looked at the more than 100,000 slaves in the square, suddenly flew into the air, and said at the top of my voice: "No one can deprive you of your rights. You should have dignity and freedom in your life, but you should not be imprisoned here. Today, as the Lord of Wangyue City, I am here to pardon you and give you freedom!"

As he spoke, he took out the prepared Moon City Emperor's token, raised it high, and said: "Untie your shackles, pick up the weapons of the dead, give up your status as a slave, and follow me back to Moon City. You will become warriors, women can wash clothes and cook, children can collect firewood and mend clothes, blacksmiths can pick up hammers, and fighters can pick up weapons. You are no longer slaves, you will be the masters of Moon City. Are you willing?"

When I finished speaking, I felt extremely proud. These words were so appropriate. I am simply a genius! ,

……

However, a group of slaves were completely shocked. My words were beyond the cognition of many people. Until a group of people with shackles on their hands but strong muscles came forward in the crowd. The leader had a beard on his chin. He looked at me, knelt on one knee, and said: "I am a fighting slave. My only duty is to please the master with blood and killing. But sir, if you pardon us and give us dignity and freedom, we are willing to give our lives to you and fight for you!"

I nodded: "Okay, come on, unlock their shackles!"

Several demon palace riders quickly cut off the shackles of these gladiators, and then more and more slaves knelt down to me. Soon, hundreds of thousands of people knelt down to me. In the streets and alleys, word of mouth spread, and many slaves knew that light had come.

I looked at everything with satisfaction, then raised my palm upwards and said, "Stand up, I am not your master, you don't need to kneel to me, from now on, your knees will only bow to your parents, heaven and the emperor, you will live with dignity, come, untie the shackles of all slaves and lead them to Wangyue City!"

"Yes, sir!"

While untying the slave shackles, more than 100 slave lords were also chopped to death on sharp wooden stakes. I was more merciful than them and rewarded a clean death, unlike them who pierced the slaves on the stakes and died with blood. Even many slaves were not completely dead when they were pecked by vultures. This was simply inhumane. Perhaps, there was no humanity at all under that system. The slave owners did not regard the slaves as human beings at all. The role of the slaves was probably to work, watch fighting and relieve their desires.

...

More than two hours later, the Goddess's Tears City was completely liberated. Thousands of slaves, led by the Demon Palace Knights, walked towards Moon City. Although some of them tried to escape, they were all controlled. I did not show mercy and let them go. Moon City was almost massacred and the population was greatly reduced. These slaves were needed to replenish the population.

The slaves walked very slowly. It took another two hours to reach Moon City. The alien army in Moon City had already retreated. There was a beautiful figure in the sky in the distance. I flew over immediately. It was Lana Sel who was holding the Crimson Cloud Bow and stayed in the air. She looked at me with a smile: "It seems that you succeeded and have obtained all the population of the Goddess's Tears, right?"

I smiled slightly: "Well, I succeeded by luck."

"What should I do next? I have retreated the alien army to the area of ​​​​the Stone Forest, but the death power in the Soul Prison Niche is still insufficient. What should I do?"

"Simple."

I pointed to the east and said: "Soon there will be millions or even More people are crossing from the desert to attack Moon City. You will definitely not miss them if you lead the demon army to intercept them in Moon Valley. "

Lanasel smiled: "Those are all adventurers from Moon City's expedition, right?"

"Smart!"

"Okay, I know. I'll leave the city to you. But can I take back my 20w Demon Palace Cavalry? Since we have to intercept them in Moon Valley, the more the better."

"Leave me 5w people and take back the military power in two hours."

"Yes!"

...

There are still some players and NPCs in Moon City who are resisting. If I don't have any soldiers, why would they obey me? At least, I can't let them go completely before I build my own army.

The demon army went to Moon Valley to set up an ambush, leaving me with a Moon City that is almost an empty city.

Moon City, South Square.

I began to form my own guard, standing above the city with a butterfly sword in hand, and said: "Those who are good at fighting, please come out, receive the appropriate weapons and armor, and form the first guard of Wangyue City."

One of the slaves said: "Sir, we only use weapons and rarely use armor. Heavy armor will affect our movement and speed."

I smiled slightly: "No, armor will slow you down, but it can increase your defense. You must start to learn legion combat. From today on, you are no longer slaves, but a warrior belonging to Wangyue City."

He said heavily Nodding, with fighting spirit in his eyes, he smiled and said, "I understand, sir!"

I asked again, "Who has the best fighting skills here?"

Suddenly, a gladiator about 1.9 meters tall came out, with pride in his eyes, but when he saw me, he was more respectful and humble, and said, "Sir, I won the first place in this fighting competition."

I looked at him, wow, his figure is ridiculously good, even stronger than me who has been exercising for many years, and his chest muscles are ridiculously big, bigger than Lin Wan'er's...

"What's your name?"

"Leishan, sir!"

"Okay!" I ordered: "Now I appoint you as the commander of the first garrison of Wangyue City. Immediately select people who are good at fighting and distribute weapons and armor to them. For a long time to come, the task of protecting Wangyue City will fall on you."

"Yes, sir!"
