Chapter 458 The Ruler of Tongniu Town

During the war years, it is not uncommon for a city, especially a city with considerable independence, that the citizens of the city expel the original ruler and defect to another power.

After the collapse of the world and the great changes in the world, although it is not a war era, it has far surpassed any war era.

Flynn took over a town without a lord, especially this town, which was saved by Flynn himself from robbers.

Such behavior is simply a matter of course!
If Flynn keeps refusing, Tongniu Town will be terrified and sad!

After all, in this era, it is customary for a city to belong to a certain lord, who collects taxes and protects the city.

Seeing that the kindness was hard to turn down, Flynn didn't bother to be modest, and generously announced that he would take over the ruling right of Tongniu Town.

Of course, Flynn did not forget to make some promises to these frightened residents.

Flynn promised that he would keep Tongniu safe, and showed off his low, generous and benevolent tax rates.

And various policies to improve the living standards of the people.

Seeing all kinds of cakes painted by Flynn, especially seeing the low taxes, the people in Tongniu Town were very excited!

Originally, what they thought was that as long as they could be freed from the rule of the bandits, any decent lord of a cat or a dog would come to protect Tongniu Town.

Better than a robber.

As a result, the Flynn knight who came, although his title is not high, has tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

The brave men under him even have the supernatural power of immortality, and their combat effectiveness is astonishing.

While powerful, Lord Flynn is also a generous and benevolent Lord.

Not only are the taxes collected low, but they also promise to assist in the construction of Tongniu Town and build various military and civilian facilities.

If Flynn can really keep his promise, it is obvious that the living standard of Tongniu Town will be greatly improved.

Flatbread?

maybe.

But Flynn seems to be a reliable lord, which makes the people in Tongniu Town feel that maybe the promise Flynn made...isn't it impossible to realize?

This made them full of expectations.

After Flynn easily defeated the bandits and obtained the ruling right of Tongniu Town, he came to the temporary prisoner-of-war camp.

Here, there are thousands of robbers who were captured, as well as a few traitors who catered to the robbers and oppressed the townspeople during the bandit rule.

In fact, it wasn't that Flynn wanted to pursue these puppet soldiers, but when the Tudou County army entered Tongniu Town, the local people had already risen up and tied up the so-called traitors.

With such complaints from the public, Flynn naturally couldn't say anything more.

After all, although these traitors in Tongniu Town have their own difficulties, they can never be said to be innocent.

They are punished nowadays, which is quite reasonable in this day and age.

There are more than 1000 captives here, and Flynn does not intend to kill them all.

After all, compared with the vagrant bandits who attacked Mercury Bay before, the bandits who stayed behind in Tongniu Town had actually parted ways and were no longer a group.

And these people didn't do too many bad things during their rule in Tongniu Town.

These people, Flynn intends to send them all to the underground world to mine and log, and they will be specially guarded by NPC.

In the dangerous underground world, the success rate after escaping is already very low.

After these captives realize the horror and danger of the underground world, before they escape, they all need to know and reflect-whether they really have a chance to escape.

At the same time, in order to give these captive workers some hope, so that they would not think about running or resisting all day long, Flynn also explained the rules to these captives.

"You are captives, and the fate of captives is often death."

When Flynn said this, there was an uproar in the temporary prisoner-of-war camp. Many prisoners at the scene cried for mercy and pissed on the spot.

Flynn let the bullet fly for a while.

Let the prisoners, scare the pee for a while, and then say the follow-up that gives the prisoners hope.

"However, this time I plan to give you a way out."

"You guys need to work to atone for your sins."

"As captives, you need to assist Tudou County with work, and use your labor to atone for the crimes you committed!"

"You are not slave labor, but you need to work for free!"

Flynn kept saying that the captives would not become slave labor, because Tudou County, once part of the Iron Hill Kingdom, had already signed an agreement to abolish slavery.

Potato County, no slaves.

Even if the other party is a captive, Flynn is unwilling to declare that they are slaves openly.

But to be reasonable, the captives are criminals in Tudou County, and criminals who participate in labor are not considered slaves, right?

Flynn successfully convinced himself, and then Flynn continued to say to the captives: "There are no slaves in my Tudou County. You are not slaves. You are just workers who voluntarily participated in the construction of Tudou County for atonement."

Of course, immediately there was a bandit who was usually rebellious and rebellious, and yelled desperately: "Bah! Hypocrisy! Isn't it just treating the master as a slave!"

"Don't talk about what's there and what's not, sir, it's annoying!"

He was obviously a prisoner, but he yelled so arrogantly, it didn't give Flynn any face at all.

This is an obvious act of courting death.

And Flynn let him die decisively.

After killing chickens and monkeys, Flynn shook the blood on his sword and continued calmly: "You are captives, you are criminals, and you are also workers!"

"Because of your special status, I will not pay you wages."

"But don't worry, I will guarantee your food supply."

"Work for me Flynn, among other things, at least eat enough to eat."

Then Flynn explained a few more rules, basically letting the captives understand that when working here, safety and food can be guaranteed.

At the same time, those who actively participate in the transformation will also have the opportunity to be free.

In fact, Flynn could be a little more ruthless, using strong coercion to frighten the restless elements among the captives.

However, considering how much hope should be given to the captives, which can stimulate work enthusiasm and reduce security costs, Flynn deliberately told them a little softer.

Arranging these captives to work underground can increase the output of Potato County and increase Flynn's income.

Then even if there is an accident, the slave uprising in the underground world such as captives fleeing or rebelling, there will be no accidents.

Anyway, in the underground world, apart from those demons and ghosts, there are only brave men and NPCs from Tudou County.

If there is a loss of personnel, it is acceptable.

Taking prisoners to work was actually an experiment for Flynn.

This time there were more than 1000 captives of the nature of slave labor, and there may be more next time.
