This war was prepared for such a long time, and the scene was so big, from the beginning to the end, it was so fast that there was no sense of reality. Many people woke up the next day and still felt that they were in a dream, but when they looked around, The Gentiles have thrown back into the fields those steel monsters that had slaughtered thousands, and driven them to work like horses and oxen.

Only the black smoke of burning corpses floating on the blood-soaked land, and the continuous moans of pain from the captives somewhere in Marsh City, these sights and sounds remind people that the fact has happened, and the result is in sight.

The near-perfect victory was cause for celebration, but residents outside the fraternities and sororities had mixed feelings.To be honest, they don’t want a cruel and greedy nobleman to be their master, but the methods of the Gentiles are so violent, the victory is so easy, and the attitude towards the war is so flat... In short, after this battle, the Gentiles have completely established As soon as they took their place as the new rulers of the city, some of them fled the open city gates as from hell, with their families and the riches returned to them by the Gentiles.

Like the waves stirred up by a boulder falling into the water, the course and outcome of this war will spread quickly. The wings of rumors will cross the barren fields and dry roads, causing shocking echoes in the hearts of countless people.

As almost the only wounded in this war, at least more serious than a boy with a twisted foot, Boravi received good treatment, although the medical staff could not give him a clear guarantee.In terms of the risks he had to take in what he did, he was neither killed in the face by the earl, nor was he killed by stray bullets flying around, nor was he killed by a running man during the machine gun massacre. The crushed soldiers trampled him to death, and a group of ex-Mahi City upper-class figures who were about to go crazy with fright wrapped him tightly in the middle, and returned him to his companions like a treasure after the battle... It's lucky to be barely.

He volunteered to face the earl, and finally sought the possibility of a mild alternative to war. This brave act was quite touching in terms of motives, and quite touching in terms of results.Friends and colleagues came to the ward like water, and when the nurses sighed "Are you here to visit or to see a joke?", they brought him all kinds of condolences, new things and all kinds of fancy ridicules.Thanks to this thoughtful hilarity, Boravi does not indulge too much in shame and regret.

He came up with this idea after an interview with Lord Robert. At that time, he had been warned of the possible danger, and he was indeed prepared to give his life.It's just that when the crisis of death and the pain of the body pressed together, he still felt fear and anger, and recalled the hatred that was suppressed in his heart.These intense emotions come from the insurmountable weakness of human nature, which made him completely forget his duty for a moment. He sincerely cursed those ignorant and cruel enemies and gloated over the disaster they were about to encounter. That got taught, so he was ashamed.And such a serious injury will prevent him from working wholeheartedly for a long time. As for the possibility of disability...

The person in charge of the new development team who came to the ward lowered his head, poked his knee with a finger, and said, "You can walk and run. Don't do heavy work, your legs may hurt on cloudy days."

Then the fear is gone.

Atolia came on the morning of the third day. He still doesn't seem to be quite used to his current status as a boy. After all, he was once a gift planned to be given to someone important. It's a bad future, but fate is sometimes like a crossroad in the fog. After the upheaval in Maxi City, this illegitimate child suddenly became the spiritual pillar of that father.Because the Gentiles don't care that he is a small job, his teacher - that is, Boravi - still recognizes him as his student, in terms of their efforts to teach these children, the Gentiles should not be ashamed of the mistakes they have to make Abandoning one's own inheritor at will, and as a student's family and its family members, should also be able to get some tolerance in terms of life and dignity...

Atoria didn't say what kind of expectations he had placed on him when he came, and his concern for Boravi was also sincere. Knowing that he would be able to stand up again in the near future, this frail young man finally showed a haze-free face. smile.

Boravi patted his head.

The aroused fatherly love made him feel that his choice seemed to be meaningful, but when facing another person, this mood quickly turned into an indescribable one.

"Your choice is right." His cousin Waterland shook his hand and said to him with joy from the bottom of his heart, "It turns out that they are really so powerful—what a good company you chose ah!"

He looked at Boravi's injured leg with sweet and joyful eyes, as if he saw a golden battle exploit, and even Boravi's harsh judgment on himself was nothing more than a humble word in his opinion.After a period of patience, Boravi had to ask the dazed relative out.

Prejudice is often not due to lack of understanding of things, but people always instinctively start from their own interests, hoping that everything can be brought into the order they are familiar with.Therefore, those who have always refused to look directly at the "Gentiles" have not changed their prejudices because of this war, but this prejudice has grown a layer of terrifying spikes, which made many people feel uncomfortable.

The first thing they did when they heard the news was to stand up and shout "Impossible!" Under the impact of those who witnessed it, it became more and more shaky.Those who spread fear ranged from defeated soldiers who had escaped from birth, to once-respectable property owners, and pious monks who were oppressed. It is impossible to be false. Although the content of their narration is slightly different in language, the facts described are basically the same, not to mention the public spies who have stayed in Marci City for a longer time soon sent more detailed and more terrifying news .

They even sent back two round metal shells the size of little fingers. The residents of Maxi City who went to collect the corpses picked them up on the battlefield and did not hand them all in. The spies were able to spend money to buy this war evidence.Although the talented people still failed to detect many useful things on it, and only had some superficial conclusions - the skills required to manufacture them in batches are unimaginable, but it is enough to explain some facts that people don't want to face.

What kind of force pushes such a small and light metal, tearing apart human limbs a hundred steps away?

Why did the Gentiles allow hundreds of people to have such power?

If these famous people are willing to reflect, there is another question that should have been raised a long time ago: wealth always depends on power to survive, so what is the power of foreigners who are so rich, kind, and generous (as if they are taken advantage of) Isn't it also commensurate with their wealth? ——So, what is the reason that almost no one thought about this problem before this?Is it also to blame that the Gentiles are unwilling to show their strength to everyone?

Anyway, the earl didn't fail because he underestimated the enemy.

After accepting the result of this war, it was not only the lords and cities who had harbored ill intentions towards the foreigners in Mahi City, but also the civilians who had always had doubts about the foreigners.Subtly, according to all kinds of scary legends, some river ports quietly gave up very spacious berths to the white ship, and the number of passengers quickly recovered from a small number and increased steadily. Traders from different regions whispered Talking about various topics about the war, among them they are most concerned, and the most important, is whether the Gentiles will continue to insist on their prices and business ethics after such a major victory?

Due to the rapid end of the war, the trade market in Marhi City quickly returned to normal. In fact, even on the day of the war, the Gentiles did not close their shops. They were so convinced of their victory, and their strength was enough Underpinning this confidence, it is not surprising, but certainly not to some, that the Gentiles kept their prices low even after their victory.No matter what kind of demons they are in the rumors, traders are always honest about profit, and the white boats that pass the river are more and more passengers. , that is to be able to see the legendary war monster in the field outside Maxi City.

Although on the second day after the battle ended, they changed from ferocious war monsters back to tame metal beasts, plowing the land for humans without complaint, but because of the free switching between the two identities, ignorant people are confused. They have more spiritual imagination.So much so that before the start of a day's work, many people would specially come to the open space where the alchemy creations were parked, and with the consent of the Gentile guards, they would touch the steel teeth iron with mud shells and twisted grass stems with their hands. Tooth, after completing this ceremony, he rushed to the construction site to which he belonged.And those peasants and citizens who were assigned to work in the fields made no secret of their fear and admiration for them. After the city walls were destroyed by the foreigners, the process of the war was displayed in front of everyone, and they were terrified. Yes, there are, but that kind of unreasonable, brutal and tyrannical pure strength completely conquered another group of people spiritually.

Objectively speaking, this is very conducive to driving them to work harder, but the "Gentiles" are not satisfied with this.

Boravi has struggled to find a new position where he can go to work in a wheelchair, accompanied by an assistant - his cousin.The latter understood his eagerness in his own way, and in Walter's view, even though he was a wounded man, he couldn't let himself look too leisurely when everyone had countless jobs to do.

Before the new work started, the cousin still sighed, "So I must not leave with the bishop, or I will die." He said to Boravi, "They very, very need a person who can open the secrets of the Gentiles." Entrance, once again, I can also let me say a few nonsense, put the blame of failure on which unlucky guy, the last time, they still need a scapegoat, and use our lives to appease their incompetent anger."

"Your decision is really wise, and those fools who escaped have no foresight." Boravi flattered him without any sincerity, and then asked, "Do you think you can do this job?"

"I don't think it's going to be that hard," Waterland said, "though I hate the outsiders."

Boravi glanced at him.

"Except you Gentiles," Waterland said.

The city wall of Mahi City disappeared section by section, leaving a gate that was almost nothing, and its open posture expressed the attitude of the Gentiles towards the settlers.Many people who fled before the war wanted to come back. Nowadays, few lords dare to say that they can protect their people better than the foreigners. What's more, it is so difficult to survive without the city of Mahi: many towns and villages refuse to accept the new people. of the population, the price of food and water will at least triple when they learn that they are from the city of Mahi - not because of hatred of Gentiles, in fact, many of them are Thank you, but you escaped people are no longer with the Gentiles, and you must be rich, why can’t you be more generous to us poor people?

Even the people in these adjacent areas got the news of the victory one step earlier than the fugitives. When the fugitives were still worried about whether the lords would unite to eliminate the heresy and get justice for the earl, the young people in the village had already quietly fought. Packed a parcel, agreed a code, and left the place where they grew up at a time unknown to the lord's eyes and ears, in small groups, like trickles, with those who came from farther away, starved by hunger, plague and harshness. People who have been forced to leave their homes due to the exploitation of the world gather together and run towards the city that is rising in the light full of hope.

Although it is rumored that those heretics who do not know where they come from have done a lot of blasphemy (although the specifics are not clear), although it is said that the Gentiles only talk about interests and do not talk about traditional rules. A little virtue, these unconverted heretics are so evil, maybe they are still secretly eating children's flesh...blah, blah, blah.So those noble big men have only ever used the goods produced by the Gentiles, but never accepted, recognized, and given any of them the opportunity to kiss their shoes-but, bah!

If there were no Gentiles, the gentlemen would always be right, but here comes the Gentiles.Not only have they come, but they will stay and build their own cities, so the Gentiles need people.In this land scorched by heat and drought, only Gentile cities reject no one, no matter where they come from or who they were.Since the previous castellan fell ill, the clerk and all decent people ran away, but the Gentiles were still not satisfied, and expelled a venerable bishop and his innocent priests, and the church became an empty shell... …In short, in this fallen city, due to the various unreasonable behaviors of the Gentiles to “exclude themselves from the civilized world”, they do not have a “reassuring” personal contract—the so-called bond of sale.Of course, they had many stern overseers who were deluded into selling their souls to heretics.

But it would be really disturbing if there was no such thing.

For the "Gentiles", when the urban construction project is officially launched, these influxes cannot be assigned jobs immediately. Before the quarantine period ends, someone needs to guide them to adapt to the new living habits and teach them some basic labor skills. This is not an easy position.

Holding a stack of paper books, Waterland looked at the group of outsiders who were no different from beggars in the distance, and a slender figure in the working group who faced these dirty, messy and smelly work groups. As a boy, Atuo It was no surprise that Leah was in such an almost all-female group.

"His determination to atone is really firm." Waterland praised, "Although he is a sissy now, with this determination, he will definitely grow into a man in the future."

Boravi opened his mouth, then decided to keep it shut.

Waterland withdrew his gaze and looked down at his cousin, "Again, I think you guys are going crazy...Why do you care so much about these people who have nothing? Many priests may not have a book in their hands, but you want to Put these—” He held the text in his arms, “Send it to them like a random thing, just for them to learn your rules as soon as possible. If you treat others with such sincerity, how can they Hate you so much? Is it because they are not like these low-class people who have nowhere to go, and are willing to work at your command?"

"If you say 'they' are the 'decent people' who escaped, we are sincere enough..." Boravi paused, then sighed, "Forget it. You will understand later, at least I hope you will clear."

He turned the wheelchair with his hands, "As for now, I hope to finish the work first."

Those outsiders who came from afar have almost only one expectation, which is to survive here, so they trust and awe the new rulers of this city. It was further deepened. Although most of those people were women and did not hold whips in their hands, the uniform color and uniform clothing itself meant a strong order, and order was guaranteed by financial power and force.When the hungry and thirsty outsiders trekked hard and finally arrived at their destination, when they saw such a group of leaders with serious faces, their instincts would make them submit.

First of all, they will be given a large glass of water with salt added. Drinking this glass of water means that they are willing to become residents of the city and contribute their strength to the construction and protection of the city.Then the beautiful cups holding water belonged to them. The non-fading black patterns on the cups corresponded to their identities in this city. After that, except for the ones they brought, most of the things they used would have Such tricks.Then this group of people tremblingly holding the cups will be taken to have their beards and hair trimmed. Men, women and children will be shaved bald, and their hair will be thrown into the fire. This part of the work will be more difficult; and then their nails will also be trimmed to the shortest. , washed his hands with a scented, hard oil under running water to reveal their original color, and then with these clean hands took the bread of the Gentiles and swallowed desperately; when the last man had finished his food, they Will be taken away again, divided into male and female parts, enter a wet alley with that flimsy grease, take off all clothes and put them in the wall hole, and be baptized by the rain curtain from the roof pool while screaming ;they are not allowed to leave this bathhouse until all the oils are used up after cleaning their bodies, and the clothes in the hole in the wall have long been taken away, and the Gentiles will issue a soft new set to everyone who walks out naked Clothes, as for the old clothes that were laid out on the ground, if there was nothing left to be left behind, the fire was also their destination.

Through such a set of forced and down-to-earth rituals, the outsiders bid farewell to their past in the most complete way.

Next is Boravi's work.

In contrast, they don't have to deal with lice-ridden hair, black mud-stuffed nails and disgusting body odor. No matter how picky the old folks in the population market are, they can say that the herd of animals has been taken care of enough It's decent, before driving them into the shack, what Boravi and the others should take out is a branding iron and a thorn whip, and tighten the skin of this group of "newcomers" who are already a little bit smug after being served.Nothing teaches a man to understand orders faster than pain, and, as a rule of thumb, a slave's loyalty is better cultivated with the right amount of abuse.

There was no need for the Boravi to sit these willing slaves on wooden plinths, or to place pamphlets with colored pictures on everyone's laps, and then tell the group of people from Men and women in different places, speaking different dialects, old people and children, peasants, slaves and fugitives, how should they live in this city, let alone say to this group of ignorant defectors needlessly, absolutely unnecessary:

"A group of smart, powerful, extraordinary builders are regenerating this land, and you will and will be such builders."

"The Gentiles are crazy."

One aristocrat said he stood in front of the bright glass windows, chewing every word, and said, "What's more crazy is that they seem to be able to do it."

His companion came to him, and with him looked out the window at the city, or what had once been called the city.They have been to this city more than once, and they have seen the same scene in the same room. At that time, the city of Maxi seen from this window was ordinary, not much different from other cities, and foreigners have done so much This is nothing more than changing a street. Although this street may become another center of the city over time, it will be a relatively long process.

At that time, no one thought about how great the ambitions of the Gentiles would be, and how swiftly and resolutely they carried out their goals.

After the earl's army was wiped out, the city of Mahi was completely and completely wiped out by the Gentiles, and now on its corpse, an incomparable monster was being bred.
