On the Seven Towers

The soldiers escorted the beast captives to Wang Jiyuan. Most of these people suffered minor injuries and looked at Wang Jiyuan with expressions full of fear and pleading. Whether it was Master Gabriel's attack or the volley of lances, for these beast warriors who were not very strong, it exceeded their understanding of war and completely destroyed their self-confidence.

Master Gabriel warned: "Commander Wang, these beasts are known as the most loyal warriors of the empire. They have always been the most die-hard members of the empire's armies. In the past, there have been many cases of people surrendering and then rebelling again, or simply pretending to surrender to us and then I think it’s the cleanest way to take advantage of the situation to cause destruction in our prison camp.”

"From the eyes of these people, do you see the unruliness?" Wang Jiyuan asked. He jumped off the horse and walked up to a beast warrior to check the gunshot wound on his arm. When Wang Jiyuan's fingers touched his arm, the soldier's body trembled, obviously very frightened.

Wang Jiyuan called for a hygienist, took a piece of gauze and helped the beast warrior wrap up the wound. During the whole process, the warrior behaved as if he was being tortured, shivering all the time.

"Heh, this guy doesn't seem to appreciate it very much." Gabriel said.

"At least the Imperial people haven't done it, right?" Wang Jiyuan finally tied the gauze tightly. At this time, although the beast warrior still looked confused and frightened, he nodded slightly, wondering if he was expressing his gratitude, "According to I know that these soldiers are discriminated against in the empire, and their so-called loyalty is just that they hope to prove their worth in front of the rulers of the empire. I believe that as long as they are allowed to do so, their psychological defenses are the weakest. Understand that all the pain actually comes from the fact that the empire does not treat them as human beings. But if we treat them as real people, they will no longer think about sacrificing their lives for the empire. "

"Hey, the grievance meeting is no joke." Chang Yujie said.

Wang Jiyuan asked the health workers to bandage the remaining wounded soldiers. He returned to his horse and said, "We don't have enough manpower. What if we don't absorb the enemy's strength?"

This team took these prisoners and continued to move towards Baria. When they came to the gate of Baria, they saw a team slowly coming from the north.

At first glance, this team looks like a typical refugee team. There are about two to three hundred people in front and back, including men, women, old and young, but most of them are young and middle-aged. On the periphery of their team were men holding hoes, sickles, and sticks, followed by women holding sticks and kitchen knives, and in the middle were the elderly and children. There were also injured people lying on the slowly moving bullock carts. The clothes of these people were stained with dust, and they all looked very tired, but their stumbling steps seemed unable to keep up with their anxious mood.

When they walked outside the city, the team stopped. They were obviously observing the city and Wang Jiyuan's army.

Wang Jiyuan's heart moved, he refused the guard's request to accompany him, and rode forward alone.

After those people saw his image clearly, they began to discuss in a buzzing manner, and then the discussion slowly turned into an argument, and in the end they all became quiet again.

A sturdy middle-aged man walked out from the front of the team. He walked up to them carefully, looked up at Wang Jiyuan for a few minutes, saluted and asked, "Sir, are you Chinese?"

"Yes." Wang Jiyuan got off the horse.

The team behind the middle-aged man burst into cheers, and many people even cried with joy.

Wang Jiyuan looked at these people calmly, and when they finally calmed down again, he asked: "Then who are you?"

The middle-aged man bowed again and saluted, and said: "Sir, my name is Bernard, and I am a blacksmith in the town of Chilcot in the north of here. The empire people actually laid down Blackwood Pass a few days ago, and then they came to our There were robberies and killings in the town. We were already completely desperate. But then three people came. Their strength was much higher than that of the Imperial people. They actually defeated the entire Imperial squad and saved many of us and our people. Our property, but if this happens, our town will not be able to stay any longer. The Imperials will definitely send people to look for the people they killed. The three men later pointed out a way for us to leave for a while, all the way. Go south, to Suero to join the Chinese.

He told us that some Chinese people have black hair and black eyes. As long as we see such people in the team, it will be correct. Everyone just saw what you looked like, so... they were a little excited. "

Wang Jiyuan said: "Do you know the names of those three people?"

"Xiao Chen." Bernard's pronunciation was not standard, but Wang Jiyuan still understood it, "He has black hair and black eyes like you. I think he must be Chinese himself.

Can you really take us in and give us enough to eat? "

"Of course, my companions did not lie to you. As long as you obey the rules and are willing to work, we can protect you."

The crowd burst into cheers again. These people had come here in fear and had been suppressed for too long. Once there was a situation where they could shout loudly, some people even shouted hysterically, and more people recalled the injustice they had suffered. They had to leave their hometowns and say goodbye to their comfortable life. Many people in this kind of situation Infected by the atmosphere, we all cried in the end.

"I'm sorry, sir, but they can't control themselves."

"It's okay. I know what it's like when a person needs to vent." Wang Jiyuan said, "But along the way, have you heard any news from the Imperials, or met people from other villages?"

"Yes. Along the way, we passed several villages that were completely destroyed by the Imperials. There were also some lucky people who didn't lose their lives. We brought them along.

As for the Imperials, we only encountered a scout team of three or four people. They just followed us for a while and then left. If we really met a large group of people, I'm afraid we wouldn't be here and stand here."

"How about this, you take a break in Baria, and then I'll arrange people to escort you to Suero. Don't worry, the people you met didn't lie to you. Now if we need to find a safe place in the kingdom, it may be our side." Wang Jiyuan ordered, "But I hope you can find a few people who are clear and can explain the situation clearly. I want to ask about what happened at that time."
