This Game Is Too Realistic

Mammoth City is located on the east coast of Mammoth State. It is only less than 600 kilometers away from Silver Moon Bay in a straight line, but three times this distance from Silver Moon Bay (Golden Gallon Harbor).

Although the Tasang River is fast and its drainage basin is not as wide as the Everliu River, it can still benefit two or three states and cover 20 to 30 million people.

It has a unique geographical advantage and is also close to a group of "cat slaves" who are good at doing business. However, this settlement has never developed, which is quite confusing to people.

The population of Mammoth State is estimated to be in the tens of millions, while Mammoth City, the only settlement, has only about 800,000 people.

In front of the Golden Gallen Port, poverty is a problem for the Empire, but poverty here seems to be a problem for the Empire.

After all, the empire's control over the local area has always been in a state of ambiguity. Although this place is nominally the territory of the empire and is home to imperial nobles and subjects, due to the lack of road network and river transportation links, Tiandu itself is always in a state of ambiguity. I often forget that I still have this piece of land.

In other words, the degree of autonomy here has always been very high, and only on rare occasions would Wu Tuo think of taking charge of it.

Regarding this phenomenon, Ms. Han Mingyue, a social science researcher of the Alliance Science Research Team, conducted an investigation and initially concluded that serfdom caused a part of the population to be imprisoned in aristocratic manors, which hindered the development of Mammoth City. urbanization” process.

Another reason is that Mammoth State's "infrastructure connectivity" is too poor. Produced crops cannot be transported out, and external goods cannot be transported in. Farmers only need to produce food for their own consumption. There is no need for interoperability. , there is no need for urban gatherings.

The first problem cannot be solved in a day or two, but the first problem was quickly solved by Uncle Lacy.

The noble manors were spread along the Tasang River, and even the embankments used for flood prevention and irrigation were built by the noble gentlemen with their own funds.

If we blow up the embankment, wouldn't the problem be solved?

Now, the land in the hands of the nobles and the local army they raised have been soaked in the flood.

Even if this serf didn't want to escape from the manor, he had to join the fleeing team...

…

Outside Mammoth City.

The flood that suddenly overflowed the river not only destroyed the fence wall outside the city, but also washed away the village not far away from the fence wall.

In the past two days, the weather has improved and the floods have finally receded. The villagers who had taken refuge in the woods in the mountains finally returned to their homes carrying large and small bags.

And when they looked at the situation at home, they all fell into silence, looking straight at the collapsed wooden house and fence and the missing animals. For a moment, they all lost their minds and didn't know what was going on. What should I do?

Slowly, people seem to finally recognize the reality.

Some people began to move around numbly, walking numbly through their collapsed houses, trying to pack some usable things that had not been picked up by the people who came first. At least they took their own family members and made do with it today. Passed.

Others were wandering around, silently rummaging through the ruins, or asking everyone they met if they had seen [their] family members.

And everyone knows that this is just in vain.

"Mom! Dad——! Where are you?"

Next to a collapsed wooden house, a child of thirteen or fourteen stood alone, staring blankly at a person, shouting from time to time.

His voice was weak and his throat was almost hoarse, but no one paid attention to him until a group of people with white bandages on their arms came over.

With the LD-47 rifle on his back and the shoulder strap tightly welded to his shoulders, Ackerman stopped next to the child and looked him up and down.

This child looks a bit like him a month ago. He has no father or mother, and looks like a coward... It should be that Lacy is looking for someone.

He didn't waste any time and asked you directly.

"Your name?"

The young man stared blankly at the fierce-looking guy in front of him, then at the men with guns, and subconsciously moved his lips.

"Udi."

Ackerman then asked Yu.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm looking for my mother...she seems to have been washed away."

Udi whispered while looking at these people expectantly, hoping that they could take him to find his family.

What he was hoping for, even despairing of, was that the child in front of him, who was about the same age as him, did not do this.

"She's gone." Ackerman took a seized rifle and put it directly into the child's hand. He looked at him and asked, "Can you use it?"

The boy looked at the gun in his hand blankly, then looked at him again, with an expression of bewilderment.

Ackerman patted him on the shoulder.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to use it. I'll teach you. Now you are my soldier."

"But... I have to wait for my mother to come back." Udi took a step back in fear, but his shoulder was pulled.

"I told you, she is gone, as well as your father, your brothers and sisters. If they were still alive, would they leave you here and ignore you?"

Looking at the silent child, Ackerman squeezed his shoulder tightly, and then released his hand on his shoulder.

"Everyone will experience this day. You have experienced things and I have experienced them. Until a man grabbed me by the collar and told me that as long as the empire still rules here, what I have experienced will happen again and again. I Everyone around us will experience it again and again, unless we send those nobles to the gallows and kill every one of us who enslaved us."

"...It's the Empire." The boy muttered silently, his breathing gradually became rapid, his eyes turned red, and he held the open-bore rifle tightly in his hand.

Seeing the young man holding back his tears, Ackerman patted the back of his head appreciatively and pulled him close to him.

"Yes, follow me."

…

The villagers outside Mammoth City didn't know what happened, and the survivors inside Mammoth City also didn't know what happened.

Most people just yawned, then heard someone shouting "The water is coming!", and then the flood came over.

The first to be destroyed was the fence wall outside the settlement.

That thing is only used to ward off wild boars, wolves and crocodiles, and is of no use in front of the roar of the Tasang River.

The next unlucky thing is the messy shacks in the city and the brick houses built directly on the mud. The front door was washed away when the first wave of floods came, while the back door was forcibly submerged by the street and the river water and collapsed.

Except for the nobles with good financial strength, only the Silver Moon Church and the houses where some Silver Moon Bay merchants lived survived.

Due to their habit of living in Luoxia Province, they are used to burying foundations under buildings so that they can sleep safely.

However, seeing that the whole city was flooded, he himself was not affected by the disaster. The merchants from Silver Moon Bay did not dare to stay here any longer. They packed up their belongings and boarded the boats and ran away. Only the missionaries who were not afraid of death stubbornly stayed. I didn't leave at the church.

The first thing Lacy did after entering the city was to send a company to the church next to the fishing boat dock to protect the clergy there.

It's not that he believes in such nonsense as "the Moon Goddess of the Moon Clan and the Silver Moon Goddess of the Silver Moon Church came from the same sect", it's purely because the development of Mammoth State needs those wealthy Gods.

Regardless of whether he believes in that stuff or not, at least he has to act like he respects the other person's beliefs.

As for himself, he led his people to directly occupy the city hall of Mammoth City and used it as the headquarters of the resistance army. At the same time, he arranged for his subordinates of the resistance army to lead people to provide disaster relief, and at the same time he commanded his confidants to general the gentry and nobles in the city. They "invited" me.

Sitting on the city chair, Lacy looked down at the group of dignitaries with their heads hanging down and shivering with a hint of contempt in his eyes, his military boots raised on his knees.

"I don't care what titles you had on your heads before. From today on, if anyone dares to put any noble record in front of me, I will chop off his head with the title on his head!"

Everyone was silent and felt like they were standing at the mouth of hell, with two-headed dogs on both sides looking at them and not daring to say a word. Their knees were weak but they didn't dare to kneel down.

Seeing that no one objected, Lacy cleared her throat and continued.

"I came here to do three things, but you only need to know one thing."

"From now on, slaves are banned in Mammoth State. Anyone who dares to keep a slave will have his head moved somewhere else!"

The voice was neither soft nor loud, but it reverberated in the ears of all the nobles present like thunder.

Looking at the city that was completely silent, Lacy narrowed her eyes slightly when she saw no one answered, and suddenly yelled at a higher volume.

"Did you hear that? Speak!"

Startled by the sound, all the nobles could no longer control the fear in their hearts and knelt on the ground with a thump.

"Yes, yes! Sir!"

"I, I, I, I will go back and free the slaves at home!"

"We don't dare anymore!"

"We... don't want to embarrass the people of the Yue clan... It's all His Majesty... Bah! It's all because of that witch's orders, and we have no choice..."

After all, the Yue people were nobles of the previous dynasty. Although not everyone was a noble, their overall living standard was still much higher than that of snakes, rats, insects, and birds, and the proportion of people with education was not low, so there were many well-educated people. Handsome men and beautiful women.

Because of His Majesty's fate, all Yue tribe members throughout the empire were reduced to slaves. They indeed took advantage of the situation and collected some "beautiful canaries" to keep in captivity in their own houses as playthings.

Even if you want to, you can't wash these things away. You can just ask someone in the city.

Lacy looked down at them and said with a sneer.

"My mother-in-law said that if you are not from the Yue tribe, you are not allowed to have slaves from other tribes. From today on, Mammoth State will talk about equality!"

Speaking of this, he didn't care about the confused expressions on the faces of the kneeling nobles, and just continued slowly.

"Besides, I said you are not allowed to kneel."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

"Drag him out, get ten lashes from each one, and then leave."

"yes!"

The guards standing aside, with fierce glints in their eyes, strode forward and dragged the nobles who were lying on the ground like chickens to the yard.

They have long wanted to take action.

If it wasn't for discipline, how could they allow these imperial lackeys to walk into this mansion standing.

One by one, they took the whip and used their full strength.

The sounds of the nobles screaming and being whipped with whips echoed one after another in the empty courtyard, and the ground was dripping with blood.

Looking at the nobles being whipped, the veterans of the resistance army felt something was wrong in their hearts, but in the end they said nothing due to Lassi's majesty.

Although Narasi said that we should talk about equality, this forced equality is somewhat different from the equality they imagined.

They always feel that there can be a better way, just like what the alliance did in Golden Gallen Harbor, using a gentler method to promote changes in Mammoth City.

But it's useless to think about anything now.

The number of resistance troops is no longer just two thousand as before, but is about to reach tens of thousands.

That guy's prestige in the military is getting higher and higher, and almost all the young guys regard him as a spiritual leader and role model.

Even if they wanted to replace him, they wouldn't have the chance...

…

"Wow——"

Governor Bamut was awakened from a coma by a basin of cold water.

When he raised his wet head, he found that General Dasina and other officers had disappeared, replaced by an officer full of banditry and several young men with wolf-like eyes.

The sight that seemed to be capable of killing someone broke out in cold sweat on his forehead for a moment, and he woke up with a jolt.

Like a paste, the memory gradually filled his mind. He vaguely remembered that when the flood came over, he hugged a crooked tree tightly, kicked the guard holding his thigh unconscious, and wrapped his sleeves around the branches. , and then I soaked in the muddy river water, and soon I fainted.

Later, a raft came close to him, and some guys with white bandages on their arms grabbed his arms and pulled him up.

After a while he lost consciousness.

As for the current situation, there is no need to ask more. Judging from the environment here, it is obviously a prison cell in Mammoth City.

It was obvious that he had been captured.

"Ahem, I will pay the ransom..." Before he had time to reflect on how he lost, Bamut coughed and said quickly, "According to the sacred contract, you need to guarantee my three meals a day and my body. As long as your safety is not violated, I will cooperate with you as much as possible..."

The young men smiled when they heard this, and their amused looks showed that they didn't take his words seriously.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Bamut's eyes. He clenched his fists but did not dare to get angry. He just stared at the officer sternly and inwardly, trying to scare him away with his aristocratic majesty, but unexpectedly he received a slap on the face.

The slap stunned him, and his eyes widened even more.

"You! How dare you hit me——"

"Say!" The officer suddenly yelled, interrupting half of what he was saying.

Startled by the voice, Bamut's tone softened unconsciously. He suddenly lost his aristocratic airs and shrank like a mouse.

"Say, what did you say?"

But the officer didn't ask, just stared at him for a while, then smiled coldly and said slowly.

"If you dare to speak harshly, mother-in-law, hit me!"

Bamut: "???"

Before he could recover from what had happened, Bamut heard a "whoosh" sound in the air, followed by a whip on his face.

The whip was probably soaked in salt water. The pain made him scream, and he almost lost his breath after regaining consciousness not long after he regained consciousness. He wanted to protect his head with his arms, but found that his hands were tied to the back of the chair and twitched for a long time, unable to move at all.

Having been a master all his life, he had only whipped people with a whip, but when he was whipped, that quick greeting hurt so much that his tears flowed out together with his yellow ones, and he kept begging for mercy, looking so cowardly.

However, those soldiers didn't care about his title at all, they just greeted him with the things in their hands.

"I...I said..."

Hearing the weak voice, the officer raised his hand, and the young man holding the whip stopped his movements and stared at Bamut standing aside with a vicious look.

The dying Governor Bamut lowered his head, panted for a while, and weakly squeezed out a sentence from his mouth.

"Wait a minute, you...do you know who I am..."

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this, with mocking expressions on their faces.

When did this happen?

This guy is still dreaming.

The officer was also amused by this senseless remark. He walked up to him, held his chin, lifted it up, and smiled kindly at him.

However, in Bamut's eyes, the smile was not friendly at all, and even looked like an evil ghost. He was so frightened that he swallowed the words on his lips and no longer dared to say a word.

"Who are you? Oh, don't say you're just a duke. Even if Wutuo himself comes here, I can make him look like a dog, making him unable to live or die."

Hearing these disrespectful words, Bamut's eyes widened and were filled with bloodshot eyes, but there was no trace of anger, only deep fear.

At this moment, he finally truly understood the situation in front of him and understood his situation.

This group of Yue tribe people have no intention of asking for any ransom, let alone 㵒. They just wanted to take back the suffering they had suffered from him, a noble of the empire.

He only regrets now why he didn't act cruelly before.

So much so that the Yue Clan people fled to the edge of the Tasang River and blew up the dam there.

This not only suffered for him, but also for those manors along the river that were affected by the disaster.

Mammoth State was already poor, and now it is so poor that it even has no food...

The officer didn't talk nonsense to him, and started talking to him when he woke up.

"I'm asking you, all you have to do is say yes,"

"Yes..." Bamut said as he was dying, not daring to show any disobedience.

The officer continued.

"Did you blow up the embankment of the Tasang River?"

Just as the word "Yes" was about to come out of his mouth, Bamut suddenly came back to his senses in a cold sweat and said hurriedly.

"No, it's not... Sir, how could it be me -"

The officer raised his hand to interrupt him and just looked at him coldly.

"What did I just say?"

The look in his eyes made Bamut feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and he forgot to breathe for a moment.

"It seems you still don't have a long memory. I'll come back and say hello to you later."

The officer laughed, stood up from his chair, waved to the young soldiers with stern eyes next to him, and said only one sentence.

"Don't get yourself killed."

The soldiers' eyes flashed with fierceness, and they answered sonorously and forcefully.

"yes!"

…

The door to the cell was slammed shut, but the finger-thick door panel still couldn't contain the miserable wail.

The officer didn't listen and walked out expressionlessly. He looked at Lassi standing at the door of the prison and gave a military salute.

Looking at his confidant walking towards him, Lacy returned a military salute and asked Yu casually.

"How's the situation?"

This man's name is Shava, and he is the leader of the stormtroopers he appointed.

The so-called stormtroopers are, in addition to the personal guards, another unit that takes orders from him.

It is a combat force and mainly performs some special operations missions.

Such as infiltration, sabotage, assassination of enemy important personnel and purge of enemies in the team, etc.

Most of the members of this force are young men aged over 15 and under 19, especially young men from the Yue tribe.

Most of them were born as slaves, without fathers or mothers, and they were absolutely loyal to Lacy himself.

Balasi did not treat them badly. They were not only equipped with LD-47 assault rifles produced by the alliance, but also equipped with a small amount of bulletproof breastplates and even exoskeletons, and were trained by him as reserve grassroots officers.

The reason why such a force was established was that, on the one hand, the Yue Clan Resistance Army had a real need in this regard, and on the other hand, it was imitating the alliance managers.

Most people in Jinqilun Port are learning things from the alliance, whether consciously or unconsciously, including himself.

When he was still the leader of the militia, he heard that the administrator of the alliance had a regiment of guards. Since then, he has been thinking about setting up such a force.

Now that he has resigned and joined the squadron, he has the opportunity to show off his talents. He finally has the opportunity to put all his thoughts into action.

A ghost-like force can form a powerful deterrent to both enemies and internal dissenters.

Although this stormtrooper has only one battalion, its firepower configuration is not inferior to the empire's thousand-man team. It was their work that blew up the embankment of the Tasan River before.

However, it is certainly impossible for them to drink this dirty water by themselves.

From the beginning, he had planned to pinch the noses of the imperial nobles and pour this bucket of dirty water into their stomachs.

"...We haven't made any moves yet, but we should be able to defeat them soon." Hearing the boss's inquiry, Shawar grinned, with a disdainful expression on his face, "The nobles in the empire are all soft-footed shrimps, and the bigger the nobles, the more so. I just touched his face and he peed his pants."

What a coward.

He was once hung at the entrance of Camp Lowell for three days and three nights. He was so exposed that he could only breathe without begging for mercy.

When he followed Lacy to capture Camp Rowell, he personally hanged the warden on Tower Road to avenge the guy's destruction of his family.

He still remembered that Lacy pointed to the warden hanging on the tower and said that one day he would hang all the nobles of the empire.

From that moment on, Shava decided to follow the man in front of him.

Whether they are Japanese nobles or Mammoth nobles, they are all nobles of the empire.

Their persecution of the Moon Clan is the same, and there are many slaves of the Moon Clan in their manors.

In their eyes, the Yue people were like animals in a sheepfold, so naturally he and this group of nobles had nothing to be polite about.

What's more, compared to the hardships he suffered at Camp Rowell, a few beatings were simply too merciful for the nobles of the empire.

Lacy nodded expressionlessly and then asked.

"Has Darcyna been found?"

That guy is the commander-in-chief of the Mammoth State local army.

They originally planned to put a hat on that guy's head, but they didn't expect that he slipped away quite quickly. They didn't know whether he was washed away by the flood or disappeared. In short, they didn't catch it.

It's a bit far-fetched to let Bamut take the blame. After all, that guy is a big noble himself and has a lot of land by the Tasang River.

In comparison, it is much more reasonable to let Darcyna do this——

[An incompetent general misjudged the rapidity of the Tasang River and blew up the river embankment in order to drown the Yue people who were forced to the river. As a result, his cleverness was mistaken and he was killed. 】

This story is at least logically coherent.

Shava shook his head.

"Not yet, but that guy shouldn't be able to run far. His organization has been broken up."

Although it was a troublesome thing not to find it, Lacy didn't pay too much attention to it and just gave a brief and concise instruction.

"Keep looking."

After a pause, he continued.

"In addition, don't send a letter to the Assassin Gang and the Federation. First tell them about the establishment of the new authority in Mammoth State and inform them of the good news of our victory. Then mention the disaster and lower your profile. Ask them if they have any food left. The residents of the Mammoth State would be grateful if they could help us.”

Those people will definitely help.

He was certain.

"Yes!" Shawar looked solemn, stood at attention and gave a military salute, then turned and left.

Watching his confidants leave, Lacy walked in the other direction, leading a group of guards around him out of the prison in Mammoth City.

Bamut is just an explanation to the local survivors. You can give it at any time. There is no rush at this moment.

The top priority now is to put together the new authorities.

Otherwise, as the officers of the Tiger Army laughed openly and secretly, grass bandits will always be grass bandits and will never become a climate.

This flood, of a magnitude that no one expected, provided him with an excellent opportunity.

When he entered the city in the name of disaster relief, he took over Mammoth City without any effort.

From the local squires and ruffians to the wealthy businessmen and even the aristocrats who had been whipped, no one did not cooperate with him. They responded to the call of the resistance army, dismissed the slaves at home, and firmly supported the new authorities. all decisions.

On the one hand, because the disaster was so severe, they really couldn't afford to feed those slaves.

The other reason is because all of them know that a large team of refugees, like locusts, is coming towards them.

Among them were serfs who had escaped from the noble houses, and also freedmen who had lost their homes.

No matter what identity these guys had before, hungry people are the same. These people are far more terrifying than a group of resistance soldiers who look like bandits.

The few servants they have at home cannot stop these people. If there is no strong army to protect Mammoth City, they will be eaten by the refugees without even leaving their bones.

Bamut and his local army are finished. They have no choice but to offer their loyalty to the new master, and they must hug the new master's thigh tightly.

Lacy was certain that even if he robbed the entire city, no one would dare to say no.

However, of course he would not do such a thankless and stupid thing.

Although Mammoth City has the word "city" in it, it is as poor as a large rural area. Even the families of big nobles don't have much money and wealth, and it is nothing compared to Jinqilun Port, which has a Kraba Market.

Even if he robs, he won't be able to grab much, which will affect the Federation's evaluation of him. What's more, this is his territory now, so how can he have any reason to rob himself?

He has three things to do here next.

The first is the abolition of slavery!

Only by abolishing slave labor can we promote compulsory education and liberate the productivity of the Mammoth State!

Another one is to take advantage of Bamut's defeat and the unprecedented decline in the power of the local nobles who supported the empire to seize the land they had saved!

Thanks to the flood, both were easy to do.

The manors of the nobles were basically close to the river, and the most fertile land had long been enclosed by them.

Nowadays, these manors are also the most severely affected. The serfs who could not escape have basically drowned in them. The price of the land has been reduced to worthless. The new authorities can easily take over the land with just a little pressure. In the hands, it doesn’t even need to bleed too much.

Part of this land can be used to build large farms operated by the authorities themselves, and the remaining part can be given to farmers and soldiers.

As for the last thing, it is the most important of the three things he has to do.

Mammoth State is an agricultural province. Bullets and rifles cannot be grown from the ground. If you want to get rid of poverty, you must develop industry. If you want to develop industry, you must first have foreign exchange.

He read every "Daily Survivor" carefully. Although he did not have a systematic understanding of how to develop industry, he at least had a vague concept.

The industrial take-off of Jinlun Port was mainly due to the inheritance of the backward production capacity eliminated by the alliance, and using its own population and material cost advantages to allow these backward production capacities to flourish for the first time in the land of Borneo Province. Later, It has caught up with the trend of the times when the Sticky Community is establishing a new order in the wasteland.

Although Mammoth State started a little late, it is not completely without a chance.

Coinciding with the end of the civil war in the southern seas, the northern islands are in dire straits and are waiting to be renovated. The huge infrastructure market and huge labor gap form a sharp contrast.

It is said that the local labor unit still gave me silver coins!

There are 800,000 people in Mammoth City and tens of millions of people in the entire Mammoth State. The most important thing he has at hand at the moment is people, especially the poor who cannot survive.

Although the slave trade was banned, a certain gangster with no reputation had already used practical actions to set a good example for him.

There are many ways to make money from people.

In addition to "labor agencies", there is also the method of "labor dispatch"...
