The 193rd Chapter “The provisional decree froo”
Contrary to the city’s infamous title as a Sin City, the history of this fortress isn’t all that long Exactly 20 years ago, this place is nothing more than wilderness without a whiff of civilization Nevertheless, after the war between the eion of land saw drastic changes In the name of protection and self-preservation, nu the border
However, with the passage of ti tension in the empire’s finances, lect In the eyes of the former emperor, the Northwest is already conquered, thus the old man’s focus shi+fted to that of the riches hidden away in the Southeastern Sea
Nowadays, these giant structures have already lost their for Ear City is no exception to this trend
Once known merely as Ear Mountain – the contours of the mountain looked like an ear from above – a toas erected in the mountain base to be used as a hub for transit in the battlefield
Later after the war, it gradually evolved into what you see today, a place where all crined locations
In the entirety of Big Ear city, there are no citizens present, only the 2000 garrison soldiers stationed here to oversee the vast numbers of detainees The majority of these people are expected at some heavy labor cah their sentence because the expected survival duration is only two years
The cruelty against criminals is easy to see in this place
As such, there is a saying a the people: “It is better toEar city” The reason for this is because death is instant, but if you are stuck in Big Ear city, then thatbeforeyour maker
The co officer of this deathly city is nah his rank may be that of a commander, but his situation is a bit exceptional Under noriiment is only half of this number Aside from the reduced nuuards To put it into perspective, there is not a single soldier in this regiment with a coher ups only needed theuard the prisoners
Early thiswoken up in preparation for today’s special guest – the high command issued him the news days ahead
This occasion is in fact a great relief for hio, a total of 4,000 prisoners were sent to him from the capital With his sharp eyes, he could tell these prisoners were not ordinary criminals… Well trained and seasoned veterans, such a vast nue for the past weeks already…
Whether it is the quality or quantity, these rebels far exceeded that of his own motley crew No… To be precise, this uards
If his worst nightmare comes true now, Biaideluofears he won’t be able to quell the riot
Therefore, when the orders from above came, he was totally relieved that he will soon be rid of these unwanted burdens
Yet, even after waiting a whole day since yesterday, the special guest that was mention still hasn’t arrived yet
Biaideluoorder?”
Inwardly, he really wanted to ditch these people as soon as possible
When the sun finally broke through theclouds today, Biaideluocould finally see the distant i at a rapid pace
As the ie became clearer, Biaideluoactually skipped a beat when he saw the other party’s flag… Oh God, it’s the Thorn Flower insignia of the royal guards!!
Royalty? A member of the royal family?
Biaideluodare not neglect Hurriedly, he ordered the gates to be open before personally leading his own entourage to welcome the other side
This group of royal cavalry knights consisting of 300 personals did not show any signs of slowing down Only by coates did they finally stop in their track
At the head of the group is aa very rich voice:“Call out your co officer!”
Biaideluoquickly took a few steps forward: “I’ officer Biaideluo , Sir, please report your identity”
“I’ht voice: “Co officer of House Tulip’s private army Commander Biaideluo , please ready your people in preparation for his Duke’s arrival!”
Duke? House Tulip?
Only after scratching his head for a long time did Biaideluorecall a recent ruer was appointed to the position of Duke…… Although the event took place several un to spread because after all, this world doesn’t have any kind of internet or news network to broadcast the event Not toEar city, the so called Sin City of the continent where only criminal and slaves come to meet their maker
Nonetheless, the status of a Duke is not so quickly, he ordered his people to stand in foruarded by dozens of cavalry riders was slowly co over
When Biaideluo came up to the coach to welcome the Duke, he was quickly shocked at what he saw… Why it’s a teenage boy!
But this idea only slightly skih hisandEar city”
Du Wei was frowning over the scene before hi to the records, the city was built against the mountain side to increase its fortitude As one can see,apart, and in soe cracks are easily noticeable Above all, the patrolling soldiers from above looked like slouches
Gently taking off his gloves, Du Wei used it fan hiht commander Hurry and take me to my people, I don’t have much time…This damn weather is really unpleasant”
Seeing Du Wei was already entering the gate of his own accord, Biaideluo hurriedly followed up
Only by co Ear city did Du Wei find out how much worse this place really is! Broken in all sorts of places, he can hardly see any of the walking streets still intact
“Where’s my people?”
“All of the field” Biaideluo was careful in his words: “I thought you would be here last night according to the order, so I had theht…”
Du Wei’s pace slowed down a bit before turning back at this exhausted looking guy: “Oh, ined, so we missed the schedule”
Where in the world would he dare accept an apology fro in his words, Biaideluo repeatedly replied with ‘I wouldn’t dare’ Like this, he led Du Wei and his escorts inside
Even inside, Du Wei was frowning because with every gust of wind, the dirt on the stone paved roads would roll up like clouds: “It seeht”
Biaideluo immediately cried out: “Isn’t it? My lord…… I’ve already rackedtens of thousands of people along with my subordinates Yet, the delivery of supplies would often be delayed Look around, its barrens hills around here, I cannot let ht? There is also equipment…” His voice lowered at this , but I have to tell you the truth I may have only 2000 subordinates, but the number of equipment in my hand is only equal to that of 800 sets! Every year,out on patrol 800 armed soldiers to oversee 10,000 prisoners……”
Du Wei suy in front of hiht?”
This question immediately hit a sore spot in Biaideluo’s heart… Indeed, ould want to stay in this eggless hatchery? For eight years, he’s been stuck here despite the fact that personal changes usually happen every three years
Watching the grimace faced Biaideluo, Du Wei suddenly showed a s his voice, he asked: “Do you knohy you never got promoted?”
“…… My lord, please advise ht
“Because of the words you just said to me!” Du Wei smirked
This guy is too easy to complain Without any restraint, he would burst out all his weaknesses to any superior that comes to visit… So ill like it?
Hence, a negative guy like him would of course be at the bottom
“If you want to get promoted, then I’ll show you a way” Du Wei said this with smile: “Next time when a superior comes to visit, you better lift your spirit and tidy up this place Noso up within two years”
Listening to these words, he becaht for a second When he caone Panicking, he quickly ran forward to catch up
Though the training ground is quite big, but the floor is just like the rest, broken and rugged Even for Du Wei that earing a sturdily made boot; he could still feel quite the discomfort on his feet
Then he finally had his first look at the crowd in the field
