Heir of Xingyi in One Piece

Chapter 164 163 Hunting Day Arrives

During this operation, CP0 captured many miners.

After the interrogation, Hayden directly pulled the workers outside the mine to gather the workers, and chose to execute them collectively in front of them.

"If you dare to hide the revolutionary army, this is your fate!"

After Willow heard the news, he rushed to the mine and wanted to question Hayden why he executed the people of Tulai Kingdom privately.But was stopped by Landry at the door:

"Your Highness Willow, you have to remember that this time they came here under the orders of the world government!"

"Now His Majesty the King has a big opinion on you! Don't you want to offend the World Government!"

Looking at the dark red blood, Willow gritted his teeth, but turned and left helplessly.

But this scene was seen by Hayden on the tall building.

"It seems that this prince has a deep opinion about us. Go tell Case and tell him that there is nothing wrong with me. It depends on when he makes a move."

After Hayden finished speaking, the man in sunglasses walked down.

The nobles of the Tulai Kingdom opened Case's eyes. The nobles of other countries always have various ideas in private either because of their interests or because of their power. It is even common for nobles to be hostile to each other.

The nobles of the Kingdom of Tulai may be the country's unique interest sharing, which has caused the nobles to lack interest in the industries in the kingdom.

The share of iron ore is enough to support their luxurious life, and all the mines are in the hands of the royal family, even if they get the rights, they will not generate more benefits.

For those nobles, only a few families are interested in other industries.

As a result, most of these nobles have no desire for power.

And Case discovered an interesting phenomenon.

The nobles of the Tulai Kingdom have an inexplicable admiration for the royal family, and often imitate the behavior of the royal family.

When Garton III was in power, he was very lustful, and most of the nobles in the kingdom at that time were also addicted to women.

After Garton IV came to power, he was cruel and liked to take the lives of civilian slaves for fun.

This has also led to the fact that the current nobles treat civilians extremely cruelly, and they also attach great importance to the annual hunting festival.

For this kind of nobleman, Case didn't even have the desire to investigate thoroughly.There is really no need to waste energy for this kind of brainless person who has no self and is spoiled by money.

It is impossible for them to collude with the revolutionary army.

And after learning that Goode was going to be engaged to Fuernst's granddaughter, Lorraine, more than two months after the hunting day.

Case had already figured out how to complete this mission.

That arrogant Garton IV would refuse to meet with him, ignoring the majesty of the World Government, this kind of person must not be kept.

And Prince Willow, who doesn't seem to be in awe of the world government?The world government only needs an obedient king, not a wise monarch, so you die with it!

I heard that the Minister of Military Affairs of this country, Fuenster, is particularly loyal to Willow?

Just give Gude a big gift, I hope he can understand.

Fuernst was very worried about Case being in charge of the king, but after two months of staying, Case hadn't behaved in particular, which reassured Fuernster a lot.

It's still summer in Marie Gioia, but it's winter in Tule.

As the weather became colder and the hunting day was getting closer, the nobles began to prepare all kinds of weapons needed for the festival with great interest.

On a hunting day, if you use a musket to kill those "prey" is the lowest and most boring way.

The nobles were full of contempt for this behavior.

Ordinary nobles would hold a longbow, follow the hounds, and slowly torture and kill those "prey". The more desperate the prey's expression, the more rewards the nobles would receive.

So every year at this time, the nobles would practice their archery skills in the shooting range, hoping to get a better ranking on the hunting day.

Five hundred workers with terrified expressions were selected from the largest mine outside the capital.

The guards distributed food to them.

After the food was distributed, Layton, the deputy commander of the guards, a thin man with a long, sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, looked at the disturbed crowd and shouted:
"Congratulations, you have qualified for this prey! Now you have two days to hide in the hunting ground!"

"Those who survive will be free!"

"Now go to the hunting grounds! Prey!"

A young man in the team looked at the slowly advancing crowd, and suddenly broke down, leaving the food in his hand on the ground, and ran towards the mine:

"I don't want to, I want to mine, I don't want to be a prey!"

A cruel smile appeared on Layton's face, and he waved to his subordinates. The guards handed Layton a pair of bows and arrows.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow hit the boy's back, and the boy fell to the ground, still yelling:

"I don't want to be a prey, my mother is still waiting for me, I don't want to work, I want to go home"

It's just that the voice is getting smaller and smaller, and the eyes are slowly becoming dull.

"Hmph, these untouchables really don't know what to do!"

"Choose a prey!"

After seeing this scene among the hundreds of "prey", most of them showed an expression of resentment in their eyes, while a small number of them turned their heads and continued walking with numbness in their eyes.

The hunting ground on the hunting day is the southernmost forest of Tulai King's Capital. There are many ferocious beasts in the forest. It used to be the real hunting ground for the nobles when they played.

This forest is surrounded by mountains on three sides. It is hopeless to rely on manpower to escape. There are many guards at the entrance to the west to guard against those beasts and "prey" who want to escape.

For these [-] miners, King Garton IV will give them some food to enter the hunting ground two days before the hunting day to ensure their physical strength.

After all, before the hunting day, they must first survive the beasts in the forest.

The day before the hunting day, Case came to the palace to inform Garton IV that his group was leaving.

Garton IV was in a very happy mood because of the arrival of the hunting day, so he specially summoned Case, and proposed to let Case participate in the hunting day before leaving.

Case couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to agree, but with his expression covered by the mask, looking at Garton IV was like looking at a dead person.

"Father, I must win the hunting day championship this time, and I just give it to Lorraine as a gift for this engagement!"

Goode carried a pair of bows and arrows behind his back, and the expression on his face was eager to try.

"Haha, very good, then we father and son will compete to see who gets more prey today!"

The nobles, large and small, also kept flattering the two of them.

Case followed behind Garton IV, also carrying a bow and arrow on his back, and looked back at Willow,
Willow was accompanied only by guards. Unlike the others, behind Willow was not a bow and arrow, but some medicine boxes.

Every hunting day, Willow always treats the "prey" who have been shot and escaped.

When the nobles saw Willow, due to Willow's status, they would always let them go and look for new prey.

So it also caused many nobles to be dissatisfied with Willow.

Of course, Willow will deliberately avoid the route of Garton IV and his brother Goode.

In addition to making fun of themselves, those prey may die even worse because of Willow's appearance.

When they arrived at the hunting ground, the guards were holding shotguns to guard against wild animals. Under the protection of the guards, the nobles led the hounds, happily choosing where to put them, and preparing for a big fight.

This hunt will last for most of the day, and the results will not be counted until evening.

The person who shoots the most prey and the person with the most desperate expression on the face of the prey will exclusively enjoy the income of a small mine for one year.

After watching his father and brother leave to the right, Willow chose the opposite direction to leave with the guards.

It's just that after everyone left, the ground behind a big tree suddenly split open, and a blond boy with a scar on his left eye jumped out.

But then a pair of broad hands pulled him directly into the soil, and the ground returned to its original state.
