Chapter 1015: Being Captured and Used as Cannon Fodder

Zhang Xing and the other two followed the crowd to the resettlement area. The soldiers guarding there just checked the identity tokens and left.

There were all kinds of people in the resettlement area, and it was a mess.

Not long after, another group of fully armed soldiers came outside.

A man dressed as a commander in front of the team spoke.

"Everyone listen carefully. It is the responsibility of every one of us in the empire to defend our country. Now, the empire is facing danger."

"It's time for you to serve the empire. Now I declare that you are honored to join the imperial army."

"Next, everyone line up to receive clothes and identity tokens."

As soon as the commander finished speaking, the crowd exploded.

"What? Let us be cannon fodder? To die?"

"No!"

"Yes, we will never do it. Why does the empire keep so many soldiers? We are taxpayers, your breadwinners, not scapegoats!"

"The empire's laws do not stipulate this. I object!"

"What do you want to do in Glory Fortress? I am a noble and cannot go to the battlefield!"

"I am not a Xili..."

Looking at the indignant crowd, the commander sneered: "Those who don't want to serve the empire stand on the left, and those who are willing to fight for the empire stand on the right."

Clang!

Before the commander finished the second half of the sentence, most people stood on the left, and only a small number of thousands stood on the right.

Some people did not move.

Zhang Xing and the other two naturally stood on the right under his leadership.

The commander had no expression on his face. Seeing that the crowd gradually settled down, he slowly raised his right arm and pointed at the crowd on the left.

"Kill them!"

Bang bang bang, a burst of magic crossbow springs sounded instantly.

About 5,000 soldiers behind him simultaneously showed their crossbows made of metal.

Without saying a word, they started firing at the crowd.

"Ah..."

A scream immediately rang out from the crowd of nearly 100,000 people on the left.

More than 10,000 people in the front row were killed instantly.

When the others saw that the situation was not good, they all ran to the right.

And the people in the middle also changed their faces and ran with the crowd in fear.

"Hmph! If you don't accept the toast, you will drink the penalty wine. If you don't obey the order, you will die now."

"There may be a chance of survival on the battlefield."

The commander sneered and did not continue to order to open fire.

Those who stayed here were basically outsiders, or people with no background and ability.

When those big businessmen and nobles saw that there was a war in the fortress, they had already fled on their flying mounts.

Although there were not many people left, there were more than 300,000 people. Instead of letting them consume food here, it is better to send them to death.

After more than 10,000 people died, no one dared to make a fuss anymore.

They all obediently received the worn-out military uniforms and an identity token that meant nothing.

What identity can cannon fodder have? This is just a way for the military to comfort people.

No one noticed that there should be a strong bloody aura here, but it seemed dim and negligible.

Of course, these people's attention was not here. Even if they felt surprised, they would not think too much.

At this moment, the flames in the eyes of the dark knight Mo Li in Dragon Island were jumping happily, and a large number of ghosts were sucked into the flames by him and turned into his own energy.

This little soul was like a drop in the bucket for him, and it didn't quench his thirst at all.

But Zhang Xing said that he would soon be able to enjoy a sumptuous meal.

Mo Li was ready to go to battle at any time. He rode on the undead warhorse, holding a sword in his hand, motionless, like a dark statue.
