Durin's Diary

Chapter 388: The heart of Elsh can be seen from the rivers and streams.

It was the second day when old Enrique entered the city. Before he even entered the city gate, he saw the elders and children of various families hanging on the gallows on both sides of the road.

"Anyone who dared to resist was beheaded, and the guilty were all hanged. I even specially transferred a group of militiamen from Lublin. They are all serfs and bankrupts who fled north from the central and southern regions. They will cooperate with the local police to manage the city. Anyone who dared to rob last night is now hanging on the street lamps, and anyone who dared to protect them is also hanging there."

While Du Lin was introducing the situation of the city to old Enrique, he signaled the carriage to stop.

Then he opened the cover of the back of the carriage, which was filled with various small orcs. "These children are from the Great Forest. I have someone escort this convoy to the Great Forest. I have also notified them there."

As he was saying this, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.

Dulin and old Enrique stopped and saw a group of knights appearing outside the city from afar.

"They are the War Beast Riders of the Great Woodland," said Old Enrique. "The beasts of burden you see in the Great Wasteland are merely discarded war beasts."

Dulin nodded, then watched the leading knight stop beside him.

The little orc cubs in the carriage were extremely happy.

He smiled and stroked the children's heads, then turned to look at Durin: "Lord Duke Durin Elsh, I am Titus Sora, and I salute you."

"You're welcome. The Elf Territory and the Great Forest are of the same blood and we are all as close as a family. Today we rescued your children from the human traffickers, and it is our responsibility to return them to you." Du Lin stretched out his hand and shook hands with the two-meter-two-meter-tall tiger.

These are the seeds of struggle. Southern Thais call them tigers, while Westerners call them tygus. Judging by their size, they are a race naturally suited to wear power armor, without surgery.

Eleven sighed.

"The Lord of the Great Forest asked me to bring five hundred knights to serve you, and another four thousand infantrymen are on the way." The big tiger brought good news to Durin.

Du Lin nodded and said, "Please go into the city and rest. We will prepare meat for you soon."

"No need, we brought dried meat. Lord Dalin knows that you are leading an army and it will be inconvenient for you to supply it, so he has prepared a batch of supplies and sent them with the infantry." After saying that, the big cat got on his huge war beast and left.

"It seems that Lord Dalin has also placed his bet. I will remind the Great Elder when I go back. If he doesn't place his bet, Du Lin will become someone else's Du Lin. Don't blame me for not reminding him." Old Enrique said with a smile.

As expected of an old man, he could see through Du Lin's thoughts at a glance.

Okay, you are all experienced people, just don’t get in my way, it’s okay.

………………

The next day, an army of 10,000 marched north to the second city.

The nobles in the city had already fled with all their valuables overnight, but unfortunately the carriages were not as fast as the black dragons and the war beast knights. At night, the dragons that fell from the sky and the tiger knights who were skilled in night combat could easily crush most resistance.

Moreover, Durin personally led the team, and a large number of legends recruited from the Great Forest and the Circle, as well as both sides, raided auction houses in various places at night, killed all those who could be killed, and then searched every house one by one - after selling the brats for so many years and saving so much money, it's time to give back to society, my friends.

So, there was no resistance along the way.

Dulin led his army into the city and enjoyed the treatment of a liberator - petals were thrown on both sides of the road, which made Dulin look at his big head - the big heads of the Lublin regular army were so happy that they almost lost their minds.

Look at Tai Ritian’s knights and his infantrymen.

A solemn expression, a shining silver helmet, a forest of spears, and spotless calfskin boots. There's no comparison at all. It's shameful.

This time when I go back, I have to teach these unorganized and undisciplined rubbish a lesson.

As the AI ​​of southern Thailand, Eleven cannot tolerate even a little bit of sand in his eyes.

As for Daju, he thought it was pretty good, but then he was criticized by Eleven as an unorganized and undisciplined softie in the EU region.

Then the two AIs started fighting over who was the eldest son of Tainan.

By the time Du Lin arrived at the auction house and saw the rescued children, the two AIs had already started talking about their factory numbers.

The little ones were well taken care of. The ladies from the nearby blocks were gathered together to take care of the children. Du Lin gave each lady half a month's salary, so they were all very motivated.

It’s a pity that Anta’s aunt still couldn’t be found, but the girl was not angry at this time - because the girls said that she was like a man-eating monster yesterday and no one dared to mess with her.

This made Anta very sad, so she tried very hard to maintain her image as an intellectual wizard today.

Then, looking at hundreds of children, she couldn't hold back her tears.

"Don't these evil people have any humanity at all?" Anta wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Elaine comforted Anta, although she cried herself when she saw a little bird with red hair like her.

Dulin examined the bird and discovered that its tongue had also been cut.

The surgery could make the tongue grow back, and Du Lin treated it himself, but the little bird couldn't even speak - this meant that it was a child born in an underground auction house. Du Lin had no choice but to take the child in - he would be sent to an orphanage in the wilderness, where he would be given the best education.

"When doing evil can make a lot of money, some people will turn it into a business, and their families will devote themselves to it for generations," Du Lin lamented.

If possible, they would turn it into an industry.

Tanya understood. She looked at Dulin and Anta and said, "This is no longer a business, it's an industry. We must capture some people alive and learn the secrets behind them through their mouths. We can see if there is a mastermind behind this. If there is, we will kill their entire clan."

"Yes, we must pry open their mouths and find out who's behind this." Looking at the horned children, Alyssa clenched her teeth, her knuckles pale from her tightly clenched fists. "There's too much suffering on this land. If we can eliminate even one of them, it would be a great blessing. If slaughter is necessary to end it all, then go for it. Humans and beasts cannot live on the same land after all."

"I have left some people here. Once we get these areas, we will have time to ask them." Dulin was not in a hurry - he had already taken in those who surrendered, and if necessary, he could pardon their designated family members.

In this era of this world, family inheritance is still very important. In order to dig out the mastermind behind them, Du Lin is willing to show them a little mercy.

It will depend on who can seize the opportunity then.

But it’s okay if they don’t say anything. Du Lin doesn’t mind being a bad guy for once.

By the way, I wonder if I can contact that guy named Ayers last time.

Sometimes, it takes someone with guts to do something special.

The cute grassland elves' harsh words may not be very effective, but Du Lin is sure that if a divine bone lich is present, it will definitely make these guys' eyes become extremely clear.
