Alien world

Chapter 281 134. Labor Reform

When the knight captain came back, he gave Annan a sad and strange look, and said in a low voice that they could hear: "The armor of the chief and the knights is gone..."

"What armor?" Annan was surprised as if he didn't know anything.

The chief mage said to himself: "That is your spoils of war, and it is only right to capture them."

"But Gart's armor was made by his family, and those who take away the armor may have some trouble..."

"The thief who took the armor is abominable."

Annan's cheeks were a little hot, but it was related to [-] gold coins.

The chief mage stared at Annan deeply, and didn't dwell on this question: "There are still some people who are not here..."

"That's exactly what I'm going to say."

Annan said sternly: "When we cleaned the battlefield, we found five seriously injured knights. Xingyue Bay temporarily treated them. Also, your scouts who stayed in Xingyue Bay frantically killed my son after learning the news of the chief's death. People. They will have a trial at Xingyuewan Square at noon tomorrow."

"Mr. Master, do you want to participate?"

……

Annan, Mr. Shiwaluo and the guards returned to Xingyue Bay smoothly.

After listening to Annan's narration, Ingrid asked him, "Why didn't you ask them for compensation?"

"I would have done this, if the head of the regiment, Galt, hadn't died here." Even Annan felt sorry for Galt, let alone the knights of the Knights.

Telling the captain of the guard to keep an eye on the movement of the Knights, Annan walked to Bronzebeard's blacksmith shop.He didn't see the copper beard, and Parker, who was an apprentice here, was carefully polishing Gart's dark gold lion pattern armor.

"Master Annan, Bronze Beard asked me to ask if you want to display the armor?"

Annan thought of the strange things in Katarina's room, and shook his head: "No... I don't have such a habit, let's melt it."

"At least this pair of armor was cast by a master, and it's worth at least a thousand gold coins, are you sure?" Bronzebeard came out of the furnace room holding a pile of ore.

"Forget it...can it be repaired?"

The back of the armor was riddled with arcane rays.

Bronzebeard threw the ore aside: "Armor is like beer in a wine barrel. The taste will not change after opening, and the same wine will not be the same as before. But as long as the person wearing it does not put the after It's fine to turn your back on the enemy."

"Remember to erase the lion print."

Annan returned to the Lord's Mansion, opened the portal and "reported safety" to Olmedo.

"It's unbelievable..." Olmedo sighed, and then heard Annan say, "Lend me Tina tomorrow."

In the afternoon, the captain of the bodyguard, who was watching the camp, said that the knights had set off.

It appears they do not want to participate in tomorrow's trial.

The captain of the personal guard searched around the camp, and accidentally found an interrogation record left by the chief mage to Annan.The records describe in detail what happened in the capital, and they corroborate Lilith's words.

The person who issued the arrest warrant was the eldest prince who acted as the king's agent, and the news of "the Ratman clan going north" was treated as a joke by the people of Wangdu.The second prince and Annan, who committed suicide in fear of sin, also became a joke: their funny excuse for rebellion turned out to be that the northernmost king of the kingdom said that the southernmost part of the kingdom was invaded——

Annan let Bailong stare at him from a distance, until the next day, they did not look back.

In the morning, people began to gather in the square where the gallows was moved. Annan personally presided over the trial and asked the guards to tie the three scouts to the gallows.

Regarding them, Annan even felt disgusted by using them and pirates to do hard labor: "You broke into my territory and killed innocent civilians... The only thing you can atone for is to sacrifice your own life."

"Ni Wang! Your soul will be burned in hell!"

The prisoner's roar stopped abruptly when the trapdoor under his feet was released.

Annan watched without blinking.And the thousands of residents around were staring at them like Annan.It turned out that Lord Knight would be killed just like them, and he was so ugly...

"Annan... Annan?"

"ended?"

Ingrid suddenly saw Annan who had opened his eyes and opened them again. "I was just thinking about things," he said.

Ingrid, who found the lifelike eyes painted on the eyelids by Annan, did not expose Annan: "Those prisoners also woke up."

"Bring them up." Annan said solemnly.

Not long after, four prisoners were taken to the gallows, and one was in the hospital, still seriously injured.

Regarding the distraught knights, Annan's attitude was slightly relaxed: "You were just deceived by wrong orders. This war is not a crime of war, so you don't have to be like them...but you have to accept 'reform through labor'."

……

"labour reform?"

In Xingyue Bay Dungeon, Hiller, leaning on the wooden bed, raised his head.

"Just let us do everything like hard labor... we don't have to be locked in a dungeon." Grafitt said, "At least it doesn't look like they want to kill us."

"Are you scared?" The knight with gauze wrapped around his arm sarcastically.

"Don't say that, Cragg, we will have a chance to save us only if we live Master Garth." Shearer said.The voice fell, and the cell suddenly fell into dead silence.

"What's wrong? Could it be that Lord Galt knew about it but didn't do it?"

"Yes, Galter acquiesced." Cragg continued.

"Shut up." Graffit snapped.

"Why don't you dare to accept it? The head of one of the three major knight orders in the dignified kingdom, the Holy Grail Knights prepared, the Marquis Galter died in a small city-state that was built less than a year ago?"

Cragg spread his hands, the motion involving his wound.

"At least we're nobles, and we're still alive. It hurts like hell...but it's nice to be alive."

The five prisoners fell into a long silence.

For the next few days, they did nothing, and the guards delivered food and cleaned the wound on time every day.They thought Cragg had guessed right, that they were nobles, and that the King in the North had given them preferential treatment.This thought lasted until the fifth day, when they were brought to the wall and ordered to spread a kind of wet gray mud on the wall.

The five noble knights were forced to do dirty and tiring work like workers. What made them more unacceptable than this was the teasing of the workers around them-that made them angry and thought it was a humiliation.

Then the large element staring at them quenched their rage again.

That night, the jailer invited them to watch another "magic video".

In the prison cell, Graffit asked suspiciously: "What do they mean? To lure us out of prison and then catch us and kill us?"

"Maybe this is 'reform through labor'." Hiller said quietly.

The next day, they continued to work on the city wall.On the way, Hiller observed the streets. He didn't see slums, scavengers, and poor people. The houses were new and exquisite...he had never seen such a territory.
