Happy people from Blue Star

These militias were exploited.

Or rather, deceived.

Although Lord Qinglin, also known as Mirage Snake, ruled as she pleased, she had one characteristic: she did not have strong personal desires for material things.

She likes a leisurely and comfortable life and also likes not to be disturbed.

That's why she became a lord.

As long as you have enough status and position, there will be very few people who can disturb you.

She would collect some taxes regularly to enrich her material life, but not much.

Therefore, under her rule, the lives of the people were actually acceptable.

Moreover, when she is bored, she will patrol the entire territory regularly, and if there is any unrest in any place, she will go and take care of it.

This is a special biological instinct, just like a lion patrolling its hunting ground to prevent hyenas from stealing its prey.

In the eyes of the mirage snake, its prey is the taxes of its subjects, and the hyenas are the corrupt officials within the clan.

Therefore, her territory actually operates quite well.

In such a ruling environment, Shenshe's personal charm and personal reputation are actually quite high.

Almost all the subjects regard her as their backbone.

Now, his lord has not been back for nearly half a year. The new lord has no idea how to manage the territory, and there have even been many factional infightings.

In just half a year, the territory was in chaos.

At the same time, those officials seized the grain in the granary for themselves, and now the food supply in the entire territory can no longer keep up.

As food prices became more and more expensive, more and more people began to go hungry or even starve to death.

Then someone set his sights on the city of Basov.

After all, there is a bumper harvest of grain here, and there is light, it's like a paradise, and some of them have guns, so why don't they take it over?

But to mobilize the militia's initiative, a reason is needed.

After all, he has a legitimate reason.

So... the rumor that Basov City detained Lord Qinglin began to emerge.

Based on just this one sentence, Hardy was able to deduce the cause and effect of the matter.

He shook his head helplessly and said, "Lord Qinglin is indeed here with us, but she is not detained by us. It's just that she doesn't want to live with you anymore, and doesn't want to be your lord anymore."

"Impossible!" The human captain banged against the iron fence. "You are lying to me. Lord Qinglin has lived on our land for hundreds of years. How could she ignore us?"

At the same time, other team leaders were also banging on the iron fence frantically. They didn't believe what was said.

Hadi said helplessly: "Then I will take you to see Lord Qinglin, but we have to make it clear in advance that you are not allowed to resist. Do you understand?"

A group of people stopped rioting and looked at him quietly.

Hardy knew that they accepted the offer.

About an hour later, Hardy brought more than a hundred people, "escorting" these team leaders to the side of Shu Lake.

Along the way, the captives looked at the prosperity and vitality of the city of Basov with amazement.

They saw large quantities of grain being sold, and a new batch of crops being planted outside the city and growing vigorously, and then they came to the Tree Lake.

Looking at the clean green water, they were even more excited.

The water sources near their territory have become quite dirty.

"Mirage Snake... I'm coming to see you."

Following Hardy's call, not long after, a beautiful woman with a cold face appeared on the water.

She looked at Hardy and said nothing.

If someone is not familiar with her, they will probably be frightened by her coldness, but Hardy knows that the mirage snake is actually very happy, because her green pupils are slightly enlarged at this moment.

And the captives, seeing the mirage snake, were visibly delighted.

The demon of fear was even...wiping away tears.

Then, all of them knelt down in unison.

Mirage Snake naturally noticed these people, and she looked at Hardy in confusion.

Hadi said: "They were deceived. They wanted to rescue you and beat you up very badly. They didn't want your life to be spared."

Mirage Snake swept her eyes over these people. She felt that they all looked familiar, and then her eyes fell on the terrifying demon.

After looking him up and down for a while, he asked, "I remember your name is... Natahu, right?"

The demon of fear trembled all over and asked in disbelief: "Do you still remember me?"

"Why are you attacking us?" Mirage Snake asked in confusion, "Didn't I hand over the territory to you guys to manage? I also left a lot of food, enough for you to eat for several years."

"We..." The Demon of Fear said in surprise, "We didn't see any food, and we heard that you were imprisoned by this man."

Mirage Snake frowned.

Then her expression became even colder: "It seems someone has twisted my meaning."

"Since you are not detained, Lord, why don't you go back?" The Fear Demon asked in confusion, "We need your protection."

"Why should I protect you?" The mirage snake sneered, "Can't you protect yourselves?"

The fear demon broke out in a cold sweat: "We...can't do it."

"Waste." Mirage Snake cursed unceremoniously.

All the prisoners lowered their heads.

"I will no longer be involved in the affairs of the territory. You all should leave now. Go back and tell everyone that I will be settling here in the future. If you dare to mess around again, you will be my enemy."

After that, she turned her gaze to Hadi and asked, "Is this why you came to me?"

The tone was very flat, and no emotion could be heard.

Hadi smiled and said, "I also want to visit your new home."

Mirage Snake's pupils dilated a little more, and she nodded: "Okay, I just happen to be resting today."

Then Hadi looked at the prisoners and said, "You can go on your own."

"No!" The human captain raised his head and glared at Hardy: "You stole our lord, we want to fight you..."

Pole!
The human squad leader's head exploded.

Blood splattered everywhere.

All the captives were stunned.

The mirage snake looked at them coldly: "I am yours? Who do you think you are! Or, who do you think I am!"

Hardy felt the anger of the mirage snake at this moment.

Seeing that these people didn't dare to look at him, the mirage snake looked at Hadi and asked, "Do you want me to kill them all? I get angry just by seeing them. They even dared to scold you."

As soon as these words were spoken, the captives raised their heads again and stared at the two men with sad and angry eyes.

Then the demon of fear spoke again: "Lord, you actually abandoned your territory for a gigolo... and abandoned your people who loved to intercept you. What on earth are you thinking!"

"abandon?"

The mirage snake stretched out its finger, and the fear demon's head exploded.

She looked at the remaining captives and said, "I have never considered you as my subjects. You are just my spoils of war. And as for spoils of war, I can have as many as I want!" (End of this chapter)
