Chapter 312 The Fragrance Disappears and the Jade Dies
In this public trial, a total of 11,216 dark elf war criminals were tried, and all were found guilty.
Among them, 6,837 people were sentenced to death and executed immediately. After the public trial, they were dragged to the execution ground and publicly shot. Among the remaining 5,379 people, 1,620 were sentenced to suspended death. During the execution, 2,652 people were sentenced to life imprisonment, and 1,107 people were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment with varying terms.
Of course, it cannot be said that Menzoberranzan "there are no good people in Hongtong County". If the city of Drizzt was born, there must be people like Drizzt.
Among the more than 1,000 people sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment, more than 600 were sentenced to only two years in prison. Most of the charges were coercion to commit crimes. Without exception, they were all male dark elves.
It is worth mentioning that among the dark elves who were sentenced to death and executed immediately, the vast majority were women. Many beautiful dark elves who looked charming and charming died in this way and turned into a pile of rotten flesh.
Being as beautiful as a flower and as hearty as a snake or scorpion are the national characteristics of dark elf women. Dark elf women have high status, but they use this custom to do more evil, wasting a good skin.
…
The flesh and blood of the executed dark elves were dug up and burned on the spot and then buried. A monument was erected at the burial place. The monument was engraved with all the execution lists in detail and listed the numerous crimes of the executed people. This monument was called " "Pillar of Shame" will remain here as a warning to future generations.
Dark elves who were sentenced to suspended death, life imprisonment, and fixed-term imprisonment were taken to labor camps.
There were no labor camps in the red base areas. The so-called labor camps were just closed caves, and the prisoners had to build their own prisons by themselves.
Among the dark elves who survived, there were almost no warlocks, priests, or mage professionals.
In the dark elf society, spellcasters are of the upper class and have a very high status. The higher their status, the more serious the crimes they commit. Most of the warlocks and mages have used slaves for cruel magic human experiments and medicines. During the test, the priests had all committed acts of killing and sacrificing, so without exception, they were all included in the execution list.
Low-level warlocks, priests and mages may not have time to do evil, but because of their low strength, they cannot defeat warriors of the same level, so they are not qualified to join the crusade. They are still anxiously waiting for news at the Warlock Academy in Menzoberranzan.
Almost all the prisoners in the reform-through-labor were warriors, mostly male dark elves with high obedience, which relieved a lot of pressure on the guards. This group of warriors were stripped of their equipment and were no match for the gray dwarf guerrillas with guns.
After spending a month to deal with the dark elf crusade, the Red Revolutionary Army marched towards Menzoberranzan and surrounded the dark elf city with only more than two thousand defenders left.
The crusade army did not wait to come back, but instead waited for the army of red believers. The dark elves in the city suddenly became panicked, guessing that the crusade army would be in trouble.
Although I couldn't believe that the total strength of the slave soldiers was more than 30,000, and it could wipe out most of the cities in the Dark Region. Why did the army suffer a disastrous defeat? No one escaped, but the fact that the revolutionary army was approaching the city in front of them could not help but shake the defenders. Do not believe.
The defenders still wanted to resist, but on the night of the siege, there was a violent explosion in the city. Bombs were installed in several material warehouses. The explosions ignited fires because the slaves in the city had been transferred to serve as cannon fodder for the crusade, and there was a shortage of manpower. , the fire could not be controlled for a long time. By the time the mages came to use ice storm to put out the fire, all the military supplies and weapons stored inside had been burned to ashes.
Prophecy spells were banned in the area around Menzoberranzan, and information could not be spread out through magic. It was impossible to ask for help from other dark elf cities. The food and supplies in the city were burned to ashes. The food was exhausted, and the food flowing through the city was exhausted. The water source of the underground river was also cut off by the besieging army.
There is no food and grass inside, no reinforcements outside, and knowing that they will die, what is tested is the will and loyalty of the soldiers defending the city.
However, dark elves are rebellious by nature, how can they be loyal?
Before the Red Revolutionary Army attacked outside the city, more than a dozen private fights over surplus grain broke out in the city.
The highest-ranking dean of the Warlock Academy in the city, Tril Baenre, killed more than 30 dark elves who started the fight, and used his last remaining power to raise a death squad, consisting of lizard cavalry and spider cavalry, plus cannon fodder spiders. The death squad composed of elves opened the city gate and launched a desperate breakout outside the city. As soon as the dark elf cavalry rushed out of the city gate, they were fired upon by more than a dozen Gatling heavy machine guns, and they were all swept to the ground.
The spider elf with a monster-like physique could not withstand a few seconds of fire from the Gatling heavy machine gun.
After the failed breakout, the morale of the dark elves completely fell to the bottom. No matter who saw the dozens of flaming whips whipping back and forth, the powerful warriors were covered in blood in the rain of bullets, trembling like chaff, and were hit by countless bullets. They were torn apart and died tragically, and they didn't want to leave the city and die in vain.
Hall-Banre failed to organize a suicide squad to break out, and then organized a group of warlocks and wizards, trying to rely on more than a dozen high-level wizards and warlocks to use magical magic to escape from the city and go to other dark elf cities for help.
These mages and warlocks were blessed with dragon wings, invisibility, defense against long-range weapons, and used mimicry to create many false targets. They flew out of the city from all directions, but were shot down by snipers without exception.
The red priest also possesses a magic similar to "True Sight", which is called "seeing things with a dialectical eye." A sniper blessed with the magic can see through the disguise and illusion of magic at a glance.
The red priest also possesses the magic of "understanding the world through dialectical thinking", which can effectively resist psychic magic that disrupts the ability to think with illusions.
The siege lasted for a month. When the dark elves in the city began to kill each other and eat the flesh and blood of their compatriots to survive, the revolutionary army officially began to siege the city in an orderly manner.
The recoilless rifles fired in unison, destroying the city gate and a large section of the city wall. The soldiers held their guns, set up skirmish lines, and marched forward step by step. When they encountered the elves hiding in the buildings and resisting, they threw them away. A grenade or flash bomb goes in, and when encountering a spell caster, the red priest and red mage will bless the warriors with protective magical spells.
There are many high-tower buildings in the dark elf city. If there are a large number of dark elves hiding in the high towers to resist, high-explosive bombs can be installed directly on the base of the towers and direct directional blasting will destroy the high towers.
…
The soldiers of the Red Revolutionary Army swept all the way and were invincible. The dark elf defenders suffered numerous casualties. The remaining soldiers fled and retreated into the Spider Temple dedicated to the Spider Queen Rose. They defended the Spider Temple like a trapped animal for the last struggle.
