Chapter 2 Prisoners under the siege (2)
Now the situation he is in is very clear. A group of prisoners met with the city lord. For some reason, the city lord may be exempted from their crimes?
At this time, Tang Jiumin saw a familiar person.
Chen Qi.
The other party is among the prisoners.
After seeing her, Tang Jiumin's eyes paused slightly, and then he moved away without any trace.
I don’t know how many so-called players like him and Chen Qi are in the dungeon. After looking around, he didn’t see anyone else who looked familiar.
The player on the train who was obviously not a newcomer said it well. Even if he was on the same train, the possibility of several copies being reached is very small.
Thirty or forty people were riding the same train with him, but now he only saw himself and Chen Qi.
So, besides them, who are the other players among these prisoners?
Some people I had just seen flashed through Tang Jiumin's mind.
The reactions of players and prisoners must be different. After just looking around, Tang Jiumin secretly wrote down some of the strange reactions out of his professional instinct.
"You all got the news that the orcs launched an invasion of the empire. There were already many refugees who had lost their homes in the city. Our Alto City is now surrounded by those half-orcs."
"And over there! The sinner on the execution platform! That damn guy actually tried to betray our city last night. He is a sinner, a demon with unforgivable sin!"
"I will immediately execute such a shameful devil on behalf of the entire city as a lord."
As the city lord finished speaking, the executioner on the other side of the guillotine immediately waved his axe and chopped the reins on the side of the guillotine.
As the reins were cut off and the sword fell, the guy who was extremely guilty in the city lord instantly separated his body and blood was stormed all over the ground.
At this moment, all the prisoners were completely quiet, and many people lowered their heads and did not dare to look up again. Faced with the nobles who could determine their life and death, the prisoners could not have the idea of resisting.
When the city lord was shocked by the scene where the prisoners were beheaded and resisted the leader of the organization, he was secretly satisfied.
That's right, the leader of the resistance organization was to deal with the first to solve the sinner who rebeled, and to make these prisoners who were about to be honest in the future.
They are all guys who are in trouble, and the city lord is very worried about them, so he has to knock them first.
"I, the master of Alto City! Isa Santos, who hates sinners who betray the country the most in his life, and stands opposite us humans. Such a person dies ten thousand times to atone for his sins."
Immediately afterwards, the city lord changed his mind.
He said: "But, on the contrary, I also admire the heroes who stand up and defend the city most when they are in times of crisis!"
"Criminals of Alto City! We use the honor of the Lord of Alto City and the hereditary Count as a guarantee, and give you a chance to escape from the identity of a sinner and become a hero to defend your home!"
After the city lord finished speaking, Tang Jiumin clearly felt that the prisoners around him had become heavier, which showed that they were extremely concerned about the opportunity in the city lord's mouth.
"As the sinners reveal the news about the city, in order to guard the city, you will go and guard the oldest part of the city's wall."
"I will ask the soldiers to take you to a temporary camp, and when you arrive there, there will be a supervision team dedicated to supervising the battle. Once the orc army comes, you must stick to the responsible wall. For the sake of the city, no one is allowed to retreat!"
"And if... once someone among you fled in fear of war, the supervisory team will have the right to shoot directly!"
When the city lord said something that he would die in fear of war, the prisoners began to stir up trouble.
The city lord frowned slightly. The group of prisoners were indeed unruly guys. As soon as he talked about military discipline, they began to disagree.
Since they are all criminals, then...
The city lord raised his hand.
"Quiet!"
He suppressed the slight unrest among the criminals and announced loudly: "Of course, if you can persevere in this battle, as long as we protect the city and fight off the orcs, each of you will be rewarded and will all be relieved of the guilt!"
"And if you kill those dirty orcs, then I promise you with the honor of the Santos family that you will be relieved of all your sins and restored to civilians!"
"Can you be exempted from participating in the war?"
"The city lord said that as long as we fight orcs, we can become civilians?"
The prisoners were boiling again.
The city lord took advantage of the prisoners' emotions and encouraged him again: "From criminals to civilians, I think you know that many people will never encounter this opportunity in their lifetime. Next, as long as you perform well, you can get rid of the identity of the criminal and don't have to become slaves!"
The city lord raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Join the war! Bet on your lives, fight for the city, fight for yourself!"
"I want to join the war, I don't want to be a slave!"
"I'll cut off the heads of those orcs, I can!"
It has to be said that the city lord grasped the psychology of most prisoners, first let them see the consequences of the sinners, then let the supervision team shock this group of people, and finally gave what the prisoners longed for the most.
The voices of prisoners in the square became louder and louder, and more and more prisoners were roaring with their hands, looking crazy.
Tang Jiumin was in the crowd and soon followed the prisoners around him to raise his right hand, but he was lying casually in his mouth, while his eyes wandered in the crowd.
Take this opportunity to observe the people he suspected.
That's right, Tang Jiumin plans to discover other players as early as possible, which will help the next step of action.
On the wooden platform, the city lord looked at the excited prisoners below, and at this time he finally nodded with satisfaction.
Very good, that's it. As long as the orc attacks, half of these prisoners can achieve their current state, he believes that they can play a certain role.
"very good."
Seeing that it was almost done, the city lord raised his hand again and then ordered the person beside him.
"If you arrange it, take them to the abandoned camp immediately. From now on, the supervision team must be strictly supervised. During the day and night, they will be taken there to guard the city wall in batches."
"yes."
The city lord thought about it and said, "The orcs have already started to build siege equipment. There is no time left. Hurry up and give them the weapons and take the people to the city wall to guard it. Don't waste time."
"clear."
"Full team, come with me!"
The leader was a knight, and at the beginning, the soldiers surrounding the prisoners contracted their ranks and were still surrounded on both sides of the prisoners' ranks.
Chapter completed!
