Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 353: Used for Promotion
Hardy and his Poplar Knights had all their weapons confiscated and their armor stripped off. They were left wearing only cloth and were taken into the western forest along with an escort team consisting of wild boar men and kobolds.

The soldiers were a little panicked. Walking into the western forest was like walking into the edge of the world. They had a fear that "I'm going to be dragged away and eaten by these subhumans."

Hardy was not in a good mood either. Although Zhang Jingyi said that he would not kill him, the other party had taken him to this remote place, which was very dangerous. He was afraid that the other party would say one thing and do another, and when he got to the place, the wild boars would attack him.

He was just thinking about some random things when he suddenly heard the wild boar man in front of him shouting, "We've arrived. The labor camp is ahead. There are already some prisoners detained inside. You newcomers should learn from the old prisoners."

Hadi: "Huh? Have they detained some prisoners? Didn't Soleimani use civilians as shields to retreat during the last battle of Sunshine City? Where did they get the prisoners?"

This question left him a little confused.

But he knew it immediately. As soon as he entered the gate of the labor camp, he saw a group of camel people...

Typical residents of the desert kingdom, camel people!
There can be no camel people in other countries except the desert kingdom.

This discovery surprised Hardy: "How is it possible?"

The camel drivers had no time to argue with him. They used their tall bodies and great endurance to pull several carts full of iron ore towards the smelting furnace.

Hadi followed the camel people and saw from afar that next to the smelting furnace, there was a dog-headed man who was talking loudly about something, and next to him was a group of men with cloth wrapped on their heads, smelting ore.

It is obvious that these men with cloth wrapped on their heads are learning smelting from the dog-headed men.

Wrap your head with cloth!

This is the custom of the desert kingdom.

Hadi could now confirm that the prisoners in this labor camp were from the Desert Kingdom, including not only camel people but also humans.

It was obvious that the Desert Kingdom had fought a war with them and lost, and many people like himself were captured and imprisoned here.

The boarman who led them in spoke up: "The captives from the Desert Kingdom are now divided into four types. One type is the lizardmen, who are catching fish, shrimp and shellfish on the beach. Another type is the camelmen, who are responsible for transportation. The third type is the gerbils, who are all digging for ore in the mines, so you can't see them now, but you can see them if you go down to the mines. Of course, there is also a fourth type, which is... humans."

When talking about humans, the boar man paused noticeably and sighed, "Humans are really awesome. They can do all kinds of jobs. Some go to the beach to pick up shells, some go to the mines to dig, some are responsible for transportation, and some follow the kobolds to learn smelting and forging."

The boar man said: "Captives of the Poplar Knights, you are all human beings. You still have the most comprehensive abilities, so it is up to you to choose what job to do."

Hardy understood that the other party wanted them to work.

This is normal. Prisoners are meant to be slaves, and slaves are used to work. It is not surprising.

He simply winked at his men beside him, telling them to pretend to be submissive for the time being and to be ready to escape at any time.

His subordinates gave him a look, as if to say, "Don't worry, General, we understand."

At this moment, another human walked out of the prison. He was one of Elizabeth's old guards. Because of his age, his combat capability was not as good as when he was young, so he was simply sent to the labor camp to do administrative management.

The old guard said loudly to the Poplar Knights: "Everyone, please pay attention. Although you have been captured by us, you are not slaves. Her Majesty the Queen has decided to abolish slavery. From now on, there will be no more slaves in the Magic Kingdom."

As soon as this sentence came out, the Poplar Knights suddenly burst into an uproar. Hardy was also a little confused, and winked at the subordinate next to him. The subordinate understood and asked loudly: "What's the situation if he is not a slave?"

"You are workers undergoing labor reform." The old guard said, "Your labor is paid. We will pay you according to market standards, but... part of your pay will be used to pay for the sins committed during the war, so we cannot pay you the full amount. This is the difference between labor reform workers and ordinary workers. When you have paid for your war crimes, the wages you earned will be paid to you in full."

Hadi: “!!!”

Poplar Knights: "!!!"

They understood it roughly, and were even more shocked after understanding it.

Do we really want to abolish slavery?

Hadi's staff officer whispered, "General, this matter has not spread yet. Once it spreads within the Magic Kingdom, slaves from all over the country will probably rebel and join the Queen. Ugumantai will have a lot of headaches just dealing with the slave rebellion in the country."

Hardy nodded with a serious expression, and added: "But the nobles who own a large number of slaves will oppose the queen. This is a double-edged sword."

The staff officer whispered, "The great nobles have always been against the queen."

Hadi: “…”

That makes sense! It makes a lot of sense.

As soon as the two of them said this, they noticed a skeleton soldier next to them, carrying a strange machine facing them. There was a round mirror on the machine, staring at Hardy like an eye.

Hadi: What are you doing?

The skeleton soldier actually spoke, and what he said was not click, click, but Zhang Jingyi's voice: "This is a camera, I'm recording!"

"Video?" Hardy: "What do you mean?"

The skeleton soldier chuckled and said, "The first batch of Ugumantai's men who were defeated and captured and sent to the labor camp, what they heard and saw in the labor camp, as well as their treatment, are all recorded. This is called a documentary, and it is very useful. In a few days, this documentary will be handed over to the Black Blade Guild, and then it will be spread to every corner of the kingdom... The soldiers of the other three knight orders will all see this."

Hardy was startled and suddenly understood. The staff officer had just said that if the news of the Queen's abolition of slavery got out, the slaves would rebel and support the Queen. It turned out that the skeleton was already preparing for it.

The other party has totally calculated this!

Arresting myself and putting myself in a labor camp was also meant to use me for propaganda.

Hadi was angry: "Damn it!"

He suddenly jumped up and punched the skeleton soldier.

With a "crack" sound, the skeleton soldiers were beaten to pieces by his punch, but several wild boar warriors jumped out immediately, and several swords were placed on Hardy's neck at the same time...

The skeleton soldier's head rolled on the ground, and his mouth was still talking: "Fortunately, I was cautious. I sent the skeletons because I knew that some people would attack at the slightest disagreement. It's very dangerous.
