Farming Road from Baron to Emperor

Chapter 172

The next morning, the sun rose, and the warm morning light shone on the blue stone wall, which was already very mottled after years of wind and sun.Below the city wall, a group of humanoid monsters with dog heads and ragged clothes were carrying the body of the tauren.

In a guest room in the outer fort, Charles, Andrew and others were discussing how to deal with the surrendered soldiers.

"Master Shire, according to me, cut off the heads of all these monsters, throw them outside the city wall, and forget about building a Jingguan, especially those kobolds, they really can't do anything, and they can't eat enough. There are more Iris soldiers. There are more than 1000 people, and the food they eat every day can almost pile up into a hill."

Rao stroked his bushy beard and said murderously.

"My lord, I don't think so." Les stood up with a serious tone, "No matter what these monsters have done before, we have accepted their surrender. If we kill them, then there will be no more Someone (the monster) has surrendered to us."

"It's good not to surrender, and next time you can kill them to your heart's content. As long as you kill them hard enough, it doesn't matter whether they surrender or not." Lao's beard exploded, and his voice was rough.

"But we need to pay more casualties. If the number of enemies is small, it's okay. If there are many, then how many soldiers' lives will we have to use to win the victory."

Rice stepped forward and said to Rao.

At this moment, Charles stood up and cast his gaze on Andrew who had been silent all this time.

"What do you think? Tell me what you think, Andrew."

Andrew stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"My lord, I think what the two knight commanders said makes sense. If we kill these tauren and kobolds, they will be more tenacious in fighting us when they face us in the future. Surrendering is death, so it's better to fight.

But Lord Rao's worry is justified, we really don't have that much food for them to eat.Especially those tauren who like to eat human heads, if left unattended after surrendering, it is very likely to cause riots.

I think a compromise can be taken, but I can't think of anything for a while. "

Charles walked up to Les and Rao, and said, "Yes, what Andrew said is right. We can't kill them all, but we can't treat them too well either. Tell me, all tauren officers, no matter how big or small , all killed, the kobolds implemented a May Day killing order.

The tauren and kobolds were all demoted to the fourth class. Their mouths needed to be covered with metal muzzles. They had to unconditionally undertake the obligations of mining, farming, and land reclamation.But if they can survive five years without causing trouble, they can be promoted to third-class citizens, gain certain freedom, improve food, and reduce the level of labor. "

Killing the tauren officers can effectively destroy their organization and make them return to a mess.

As the name suggests, the May [-]st slaughter order randomly selected a group of five kobolds and hammered them to death with wooden sticks. In order to reflect fairness and justice, Charles specially prepared a batch of bamboo sticks for them.
If you want to tame these humanoid monsters from other worlds, you have to use ruthless means to shock them. If you don't tame them, they won't be obedient.But you can't force them to death. After the big stick is finished, no matter whether it is sweet or sour, you have to throw at least two dates.

"As you order, my lord count."

"Let the Iris soldiers be on guard, and don't make any trouble."

"As ordered!"

After speaking, the three stepped back and began to make corresponding preparations.

When the sun was in the middle of the sky at noon, the execution of the tauren officers began.

On the top of the inner fort, Thomas looked at the brackets erected below, and was a little curious as to what these things were for.

Immediately afterwards, a group of tauren warriors with their hands and feet trapped were dropped on the support, and the wide wooden hammer was lifted up, and they began to beat ~clangdang~.

Basically, those who can serve as tauren officers are those who have cultivated animal spirits. In addition, they have rough skin and thick flesh, so the executions are all Iris soldiers who have cultivated fighting spirit.

~Ho Ho Ho~
The tauren roared in pain, and the wooden hammer that fell seemed to penetrate their muscles and bones, and slammed on their internal organs.

This cruel behavior seemed to anger the tauren who surrendered. They struggled hard, but under the supervision of the Iris infantry, they were like toothless tigers, and they were suppressed with a few bullets.

But the tauren's beating is far from stopping, and they will serve as a benchmark to remind these tauren of the consequences of massacring humans.

When the tauren were hammered to death one by one, followed by the kobolds, the thrilling act of drawing lots came.The kobolds are in groups of five, and there will always be an unlucky one who gets a short lottery and will be picked up and hammered to death. The screams of the kobolds gradually stimulate them.

As vassals of the tauren, they are far less proud than the tauren. Even if they are treated like wild dogs, even if the person who is drawn does not kill any humans, he will still be brutally hammered to death.They still succumbed, and the kobolds who survived were still grateful.

When they were weak and defeated by the Tauren, they experienced more humiliation. Now they are defeated by the stronger Iris Infantry, and they can only accept the punishment of the Iris Infantry.

The stench of blood filled the air, drifting along the updraft all the way to the wall of the inner castle, and Thomas and the others couldn't help feeling sick.

Tommy looked at Thomas in a panic, and hurriedly said, "Thomas, they are so vicious and brutal, if they know that we have to eat human flesh to satisfy our hunger, will they..."

This sentence hit everyone's worries in an instant. It seemed that the winner this time was a young man who was jealous. If he knew that they ate human flesh, would he let them go?Will they also be hammered to death there.

Such worries surround everyone's heart.After a while, Thomas pretended to be calm, and said to everyone, "It's okay, as long as everyone in the inner castle eats a bite of human flesh, will he kill hundreds of people in the inner castle?"

"How can this work? There are hundreds of people, and how many lives will be needed, and how can they eat?" Tommy said in a panic.

"Don't forget that you also eat human flesh, Tommy, especially the human flesh of those children. You eat more than anyone else. If something goes wrong, everyone will die. It's just a few lives. It's no big deal. "Thomas stared at Tommy ferociously, with disdain and contempt in his words.

"As for them not being able to eat, wouldn't you lie to them? The reason for the celebration is here. The monsters outside the castle have been wiped out, and we are safe. To celebrate this hard-won safety, all the food in the castle is take it out."

"But someone will guess it!"

"Don't worry, there will always be people who can't help it."

In the middle of the outer fort, Charles was walking between the barracks, looking at the tauren and the kobold's dejected and lifeless appearance, he couldn't help but feel delighted. Although there was a lot of trouble during the slaughter, after the execution, Their fighting spirit is indeed diminishing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

On the contrary, the Iris Infantry Regiment, whose fighting spirit is visible to the naked eye, is rising. After experiencing the baptism of this war, their temperament has settled and calmed down.Combat can turn recruits into veterans. The battlefield is the fastest place to train soldiers and the best time to test a person's talent.

After inspecting the camp, Charles returned to the hall of the outer fort.After a while, Andrew, Rice, Rao and others walked in.

"How are the casualties in each department?"

"My lord, ten members of the Iris First Knights were injured and five died."

"Master Shire, twelve members of the Second Iris Knights were injured and three died."

"Lord Earl, 350 and 170 Iris Infantry Regiment were injured and [-] and [-] died."

Listening to the reports of the three, Charles also had a general understanding of the casualties, but according to the previous probability, most of the wounded soldiers must be attributed to the dead.For this reason, Shire specially improved distilled wine, created a precedent for disinfection treatment, and also promoted hemostatic powder.

"What is the injury status of the soldiers, what is the proportion of injuries and deaths, what is the proportion of disabilities, and what proportion can be returned to the army."

Charles set his sights on Andrew, because he had far more injuries than the other two, so the data he gave is more meaningful.

"My lord, after the Iris soldiers were injured, they were all treated and bandaged according to your requirements. Except for a few seriously injured and infected, the others can basically survive. I roughly estimated that there are about 200 people who can return to the army. , Dozens of people are disabled, more than 100 people died, and the proportion of survivors has almost tripled compared to before. Lord Earl, your method is really too effective."

Andrew saluted slightly, and said with an excited expression.Rice and Rao on both sides also felt the same way. Although their number of injuries was small, they really felt the improvement in the level of medical treatment.

"That's right, let the soldiers master it. This will be their survival technique in the future." After learning about the medical situation, Charles continued, "How many tauren and kobolds are still captured now."

"My lord, after the execution of the May 100 killing order, there are still about [-] kobolds left. After the officers of the tauren are killed, there are still more than [-] people left."

Charles nodded slightly. The 100 or so kobolds and more than [-] tauren can be said to have truly surrendered at this time, and will no longer pose a threat to the Iris Flower Infantry Regiment.The next step is how to use them. They are all good laborers with rough skin and thick flesh, good physical strength, and strong endurance. The iris territory is mining, and the cultivated land needs such a suitable labor force.

"Andrew, send out a 1000-man infantry regiment to escort the captives to Steel Town, and tell Baron Patel to make good use of these kobolds and tauren. These [-] people are temporarily stationed there to prevent them from happening. riot."

There are a total of [-] or so people, it is impossible to stay here every day for leisure, and the next step is to make full use of them. For those activities with a high mortality rate, they are perfect.

Andrew took a step forward and nodded in response: "Of order, Lord Earl."

"Why haven't the people in the inner castle surrendered yet? Send someone to urge them and tell them that if they don't surrender, it's time to attack them."

Looking at the towering inner castle, Charles felt a stirring feeling in his heart. The hundreds of years of hatred finally ended with the victory of the Iris family.

"Yes, Lord Earl. I will send someone to urge them again."

Andrew responded.

The afternoon sun shifted towards the west a little bit, but the people in Khamis' inner castle remained silent. Charles got a little impatient with waiting, so he left the hall and wandered around the inner castle.

Suddenly, a familiar greasy smell wafted from the inner fort. Shire thought it was delicious at the first smell, but then there was a greasy smell and a feeling of nausea from the heart.This hatred seems to be etched into the DNA.

This scent is so familiar, I must have smelled it somewhere.

Charles sniffed the smell lightly and began to search for the memories in his mind. Suddenly, he seemed to smell this smell when he rescued Caudel's tribe. It seemed to be the smell from the tauren pot at that time. Charlton suddenly realized that this is The smell of human flesh.

Charles followed the smell and looked towards the inner castle, a little doubt arose in his heart, did the tauren enter the castle?Otherwise, how could there be the smell of human flesh, or is it that the people in the inner castle are eating people?

With this thought in mind, Charles hurriedly knocked on the gate of the inner castle, but without any surprise, he was rejected.At the same time, Charles became more suspicious.

Since they won't open the door, let the Iris soldiers attack it, and he wants to see what's going on inside.

The Iris Infantry Regiment had an accompanying carpenter battalion, and the siege vehicles were set up in a short while. The Iris soldiers carried big wooden sticks, pushed the big wooden cart, and slammed into the gate of the inner fort.

Since there was no harassment from the defenders, the Iris soldiers could muster up their strength and charge wantonly.

~ clang clang ~
With the sound of the impact of the siege engine, the city gate gradually deformed.

The sound was naturally transmitted to the living room of the inner castle. At this time, the famished hungry people were anxiously dealing with the fresh meat in their mouths.I don't know why, but the meat made by Thomas and the others is so delicious and relieves the greasiness.

But the knock on the door frightened Thomas, Tommy and others.Thomas was still trying to stay calm, and Tommy was dying to pee his pants.

~bang~
After a loud noise, the city gate collapsed, and the Iris Flower Infantry lined up lined up on both sides of Shire, and Shire strode in.

"Lord Earl, didn't you say you will surrender tomorrow? We are ready." Thomas posted it cheekily with a big belly.

"What kind of meat is in the cauldron? It smells greasy to me." Charles replied coldly.

"My lord, this is the meat of a lamb. It may be because the smell has not yet fully developed." Thomas said with a smile, bending over.

"Sheep meat, hehe, just as I am a fool who has never seen the world, can't I tell the difference between human flesh and mutton?" Charles snorted coldly and said loudly.

When Tommy heard this, he immediately collapsed on the ground, and Thomas felt his heart skip a beat, broken.
