Transcendent Noble - Chapter 861
The main jungle city built by Assyrian descendants has no walls, trenches, towers and other fortifications. The pagoda temple is the center of the city. Around the Temple belongs to the upper City area, where rich Assyrian families live. They built circular houses similar to blockhouses with stones. Hundreds of thousands of people lived together. They were divided into many small families, including warehouses, workshops and other family shared facilities.
The Assyrian family in the upper urban area is called the upper aristocracy, which corresponds to the lower urban area dedicated to slaves.
The total population of the upper aristocrats in the main jungle city is close to 60000, while the population of slaves is more than 130000. However, slaves and slaves are different. One is master slaves attached to an upper class aristocrat. They live in a large rectangular civil house on the periphery of Shangcheng district. They themselves belong to the common property of aristocratic families. They act as slave soldiers and workers of aristocrats and can work in aristocratic plantations.
Master slaves account for the vast majority of the total population in the urban area, almost 100000 people. The remaining thousands of people belong to ownerless slaves. They are either old and weak, or ill, or disabled. They are ignored in the slave market and abandoned by their original owners. They can only hide in the periphery of the lower urban area and live in simple thatched huts. Unable to enter the plantation to work, the ownerless slaves lived mainly by begging, or risked their lives to go into the depths of the jungle to collect and hunt, but few people could come back alive.
Ownerless slaves were abandoned in Assyrian society, not even the bottom population. Assyrian witch doctors will not sacrifice them because it makes no sense. Ownerless slaves are basically female slaves who have lost their fertility and labor ability. As for male slaves, they have been sacrificed to all souls by their masters before they lose their value.
In the last six months, there have been some special cases among ownerless slaves. They are the family members of the snake eye guard. Their husband or son used to be the slave guards of King mokemo. The vicious queen transformed king mokmo and his snake eye guard into corpse puppets. The wife and daughter of the snake eye slave soldiers were expelled to the periphery of the lower urban area. The witch doctors in power wanted to make the snake eye guard completely forgotten. No noble family dared to sell the women of the snake eye guard home as female slaves.
Even living in the outermost part of Xiacheng District, snake eyed female slaves are often watched by witch doctors and slave soldiers. Those in power want to see who else will secretly associate with them.
In these two days, the situation of snake eye’s family members has changed. Tens of thousands of settlement refugees have poured into the jungle city. Noble families accept rich warriors for reasons, more slave refugees flow into the slave market in the main city, and many homeless people stare at the dilapidated huts of ownerless slaves in the lower city.
During this time, the witch doctors and warriors in the main city were busy mobilizing private soldiers to fight against those bold savage headhunters, and had no regard for the family members of the snake eye guard. Of course, this is not a good thing for snake eyed female slaves. If no one continues to watch, they will only become the object of humiliation by refugees.
Todd, red wolf and Rogers are among the refugees in the settlement and sneak into the periphery of the lower urban area.
In fact, Nelson and three senior knights are willing to sneak into the main city of Assyria to investigate bertina’s situation. Unfortunately, not old spring can not change the appearance characteristics of Nelson and senior knights. Nelson can only let the ghost faced swordsman Todd lead the red wolf and Rogers to perform the task of lurking and spying.
Through careful questioning of slave trader sinu, the three of them had a considerable understanding of the main city of the Assyrian Empire, including the snake eye family members who were used as warning and bait by witch doctors. Sinau also took out his keepsake and said that he could stay with his confidants in the main city and cooperate with the action of the three man team.
However, Todd did not trust sinu, let alone his confidants left in the main city of Assyria. Todd is not ready to contact the snake eye family members who are familiar with the upper urban area, but plans to find a remote thatched cottage as the foothold of the investigation team.
The general rule of the grand Lord is not to require the core members of the family to perform the mission of death. Todd performs the task of sneaking in and spying. Mrs. Charlotte allows him to act according to the circumstances, but the specific action must be within the ability of the three people, on the premise of ensuring their own safety. With Rogers and the red wolf’s dangerous intuition and his own mind, Todd believed that they could do many things, but he did not intend to intervene in the internal struggle of the Assyrians.
The main city of Assyria hidden in the secret forest has no habit of warning, or the ownerless slaves gathered on the edge of the lower urban area are the warning circle set up by the main city of Assyria. As long as there is no big noise, city guards generally do not come to the edge of the lower urban area to check the situation. This brings great convenience to Todd and others.
Three people disguised as Assyrian refugees sneaked into the periphery of the lower urban area near evening, lying on the edge of a bush, pretending to sleep and pretending to be dead. At present, many Assyrian refugees are sleeping in the city. They will sell themselves in the slave market during the day, hoping to be favored by the upper class nobles and seek a place to live. Todd and others lying on the edge of the Bush look no different from refugees and are not eye-catching.
When night fell, the lower city fell into darkness. Todd, the red wolf and Rogers, with the help of the cover of the night, bent and walked lightly between the humble thatched houses.
Todd’s eyes were as sharp as hawks and falcons, and he soon chose a thatched house next to the forest. He gestured to his companions behind him, while red wolf and Rogers understood. The three people quietly touched it, and the red wolf listened. He first gestured to Todd that there were three men and two women in it, four of whom didn’t sleep, but they didn’t pose a threat. Then the ferocious soldier of the silver rank moved silently into the hut.
The Assyrians have good night vision ability. The three Assyrian men react differently when they see the intruder, but the red wolf fully shows that the fierce warrior of the silver rank is powerful. He sticks to it like a ghost, and his hand is like an electric light flint. His left thumb stabs the Assyrian men’s solar cave in turn, and his right palm presses them on the chest, The slight vomiting of strength stopped the heart of Assyrian refugees in an instant.
The three Assyrian refugees went to the land of all souls before they knew what had happened. The red wolf was a little proud. He recovered his eyesight by drinking the fountain of youth, but his blind combat ability did not disappear. Most importantly, the fire of the soul cooperated with the fighting intuition. He killed the Assyrian refugees who were ready to shout first without making them make any sound.
If it were Rogers, he would make no light or heavy moves, and he would certainly make some noise when killing the target; Todd couldn’t tell which of the three Assyrians would shout first. Only the red wolf can easily control the overall situation without disturbing anyone and kill three adult refugees in an instant.
There was also a awake Assyrian woman who had no intention of shouting. The red wolf thought about it and let her go for the time being. Within 10 meters, he was sure to shut a woman up forever before she spoke.
Todd and Rogers entered the thatched house one after another. They quickly looked at the environment inside and found that three naked Assyrian refugees fell to the ground without breath. The other two Assyrian women are not inch wisps. The awake one is about 30 years old. Her chin is sharp, her neck is slender, and her bone proportion is relatively symmetrical. According to the Assyrian aesthetics, she is actually quite beautiful, but her eyes are deep, her cheeks are thin, and she is obviously malnourished. The female slave’s eyes were empty and numb, and the sudden intruders and killed refugees seemed to have nothing to do with her. Another woman lay motionless on the ground and was unconscious. Although she could not see her face, her slender figure showed that she was an underage Assyrian girl.
Combined with the situation in the hut, it is not difficult to imagine what happened to the two Assyrian women.
Todd withdrew his eyes coldly, examined the bodies of Assyrian refugees quickly and carefully, found nothing unusual, and whispered in Assyrian, “bury them all.”
Rogers nodded, carefully took off the back basket wrapped in animal skin, knelt on the ground and dug with his bare hands. With his fingers like a hook, he could dig out large pieces of soil every time. Soon he dug a deep pit in the thatched house, threw all three bodies into the pit and filled it with soil.
Rogers has mastered the ability of autonomous rage and is a real medium-level soul warrior. He has been practicing the secret method for a long time and taking precious secret medicine. Although he is young, he has a strong physique, his muscles are like fine steel wires, and his height is close to 2 meters. According to Nelson, this guy is overdeveloped. Compared with the lean and vigorous Assyrians, Rogers’s body is very rare and oppressive.
Watching him step on the soil with his feet, there was a look in the numb eyes of the Assyrian woman. She clasped her hands and kept a round hole between them.
This little movement is like the subconscious posture of an Assyrian woman when she is frightened. Todd knew that it was actually a secret gesture of the snake eye guard.
According to sinu’s confession, King mokemo trained more than 1000 snake eye slave soldiers. On the bloody night in the main city of Assyria, most of the snake eye slave soldiers were captured by the witch doctor queen harinadak, but many snake eye slave soldiers fled into the jungle.
Todd secretly called bad luck. He had avoided the living area of snake eye’s family members, but he didn’t expect that the settlement refugees would abduct two snake eye’s family members to this remote thatched cottage. Adult Assyrian women obviously mistook Rogers for the fish that escaped the trap of snake eye slave soldiers, and made special gestures of snake eye guard to test their identity.
The ghost faced swordsman squatted down in front of the woman, spoke fluent Assyrian, and whispered, “keep quiet. Ask for instructions before you speak, or I’ll send you to all spirits.”
Seeing the Assyrian slave nodding again and again, Todd showed a cold and cruel smile on his handsome face and said, “wake up your partner, teach her to be quiet, get you something to eat, and then answer my question.”
By asking snake eyed female slaves, Todd and others mastered more details of Assyrian society, which also confirmed that the information provided by sinau was completely true. However, as a member of the upper class aristocracy, it is not clear that king mokmo still has a strong appeal to slaves in the lower urban area.
If someone flaunted the banner of King mokemo, it could trigger a slave riot. Unfortunately, in front of the witch doctor who mastered the extraordinary power, the appeal of the old king was meaningless, just as the refugees in the human country could never resist the rule of knights and nobles. Any knight can easily defeat a group of exile bandits, no matter how many bandits there are, because fighting can not only depend on the number of people, but more importantly, courage and faith, which often need extraordinary strength for support. Assyrian slaves only deserve to fight in their dens, and the Necromancers made by witch doctors are enough to suppress the rebellion in the lower urban area.
Todd didn’t care about the sins of the old king, but he didn’t care about the lives of Assyrian slaves. The objective conditions for provoking the slave riots in Xiacheng District have been met, which can be used as a bottom card. If you need it, Todd doesn’t care, even if there’s a river of blood in the lower city.
That’s why Todd didn’t kill the two snake eyed slaves. Early the next morning, he asked Rogers to stay in the thatched house and stare at the snake eyed female slave. With important baskets, he and the red wolf went out to find the burial pit used by Assyrian witch doctors to deal with sacrifices.
With the guidance of snake eyed female slaves, the burial pit is not difficult to find. It is located in a dense Artemisia grassland on the west side of the city. The red wolf began to steal. He stole some paint and clothes unconsciously, and dressed himself and Todd as master slaves. Carrying baskets on their backs, they were like workers working in plantations. They successfully sneaked into Artemisia grassland and found a burial pit.
In fact, the statement of the burial pit is not accurate. Hundreds of headless bodies were randomly discarded in the grass. Dense corpses overlapped with each other, and the air was full of rotten and bloody smell, attracting patches of scavenging insects. The scene was extremely tragic, which made red wolf and Todd feel depressed.
The red wolf covered his nose and said, “this is the worst scene I have ever seen. The evil of Assyrians is simply a kind of nature.”
Todd said with a dull expression: “But they believe that dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, and death is not the end, but a new life. The corpse belongs to all things and should return to all things. Therefore, the sacrificial body is coated with toxic oil to prevent scavengers from eating, and let the corpse rot naturally. This weed land will become a fertile plantation. We should learn the way of thinking of Assyrians in order to deal with them.”
The red wolf couldn’t help asking, “can you accept their habits?”
Todd thought about it, shook his head and said, “I can’t accept it! We humans did similar things in the era of the chosen one. But this kind of thing can never be repeated!”
The red wolf nodded in agreement, took off his basket and said, “hurry up… Imosen’s babies should wake up. I don’t know if they will die of poisoning after eating these bodies?”
“… ask the wizard himself.”
Todd opened the animal skin covered in the basket, took out a sleeping big billed bird from it, took out a strange horned frog, cut open its skin and squeezed out a drop of blood in the beak of the big billed bird.
The big billed bird with gorgeous feathers twitched a few times, opened its eyes like fire and flew up. It fluttered its wings, circled twice in the sky, fell back to the ground and made an ugly bird cry.
Todd and the red wolf can understand the big billed bird.
“My supreme lord, how can there be so many corpses? Pour in all the young horned lizards quickly, and they will soon grow into horned lizards and war beasts.”
Hundreds of little monsters were dumped into the burial pit, and Todd said the question of the red wolf again. The wizard imosen guided witchcraft through wisdom and replied from a long distance: “ha ha, don’t worry about the problem of toxin. The horned lizards growing up here will have more anti poison and more toxin ability. Of course, their toxin attack may not be effective for Assyrians.”
Todd nodded and asked, “Sir, what’s the situation with Lord Nelson?”
Imosen responded through the big billed bird’s song: “with me, the situation will only get better and better, not worse and worse.”
The terrible thing about alienated witchcraft is that it can support war by fighting. Although imosen can only control more than 70 horned lizards at the same time, the war will continuously provide him with the blood and flesh resources needed to cultivate alienated animals. The ultimate weight of horned lizards can reach more than 400 kg. They are powerful monsters, especially good at mobile raids. They are almost not too big except for their low intelligence Defects.
“What information do you need me to pass on to the army commander?” Asked imosen.
Todd thought for a moment and said, “the Assyrians may have found a fountain of youth in a settlement called zero wolf. The private forces of the upper nobility mainly support that direction. However, the main army controlled by the witch doctor queen has not left the city. Please tell this news to the army head. Lord Nelson knows what to do.”
Imosen said impatiently, “where’s bertina’s news?”
“Not yet… However, we have two snake eyed female slaves under control. Through them, I will find out miss bertina’s whereabouts as soon as possible.”
“Nine times out of ten, bertina is locked up in the pyramid in the center of the city… I still have some time to fly over and have a look.”
Seeing the big billed bird flying to the city center recklessly, Todd cursed and said to the red wolf, “let’s hurry to follow… The big billed bird controlled by Lord imosen can’t find us in a moment, then we’ll break off our contact with the army commander.”
