"Without me! For the next two years, you will struggle under the whip of the supervisor, sweat the last drop of sweat, squeeze the last drop of blood to die! You are all sinners, prisoners, and even slaves to death. Destiny will be full of wailing, screaming and darkness." Du Wei stood on the car with his chin raised high, unscrupulously attacking the dignity of these people, what he wanted was this effect, trampling these people hard Underfoot, ravaged fiercely!
"Your names will be engraved on the pillar of shame forever! No one who mentions the Second Division of the Royal Guards will spit and then curse "rebels and thieves". Yes, that's right, you guys That's it!"
Speaking of this, Du Wei breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were oppressive, and he slowly swept across the audience, he could see the sadness and fear in some people's eyes - the fear of fate.
"Of course!" He suddenly changed his tone: "Some of you may think that you are very capable... Yes, that's right, many people sent to the Northwest will choose a road that they think they can survive... escape." Du Wei sneered: " But is running away useful? Where can you escape? When you were deprived of your liberty and all your honor, your crimes had already been conveyed to your hometown! Your parents, wives, brothers, children, We all know your shame! Even if you can go back...you can escape the hunt on the road, go through thousands of mountains and rivers, and escape back like a dead dog, you can only find a hole, yes, that's right , is a hole, hide in a hole like a dog, linger on, you will never see the light again for the rest of your life, because as soon as you show up, there will be a gallows waiting for you, at night, when you hear someone walking by , you will be awakened by fright, and you will be in constant fear! And according to the imperial law, if you run away, your beauties will also be punished, and what awaits them will be "priority" labor."
Some people's eyes showed desperation, but more people had heard the meaning behind Du Wei's words, and looked at Du Wei on the bullock cart with eager and expectant eyes.
"The change of your fate will start today." Du Wei pointed to his feet: "Because I came here today, I will change your fate that should have been miserable, dark and desperate! I can make you happy and let you escape a miserable death , hopeless fate, you are still prisoners, worthless prisoners, but because of my coming... Listen, I can give you a chance, a chance to regain your freedom, regain your hope... regain your honor and Chance for dignity!"
The last sentence ignited the hope in everyone's hearts. Everyone raised their heads and looked at the Duke on the stage.
"I." Du Wei roared loudly: "Du Wei-Rudolph. Duke Tulip of the Empire, I will give you hope, I will give you the opportunity to take up your weapons and put on your armor again, and what you have to do, It is to seize this opportunity and use your best efforts to seize this hope. Then prove to me that you can win your freedom and honor. From today on, where my long sword points, you must shed blood for me, Go fight, go charge, and what awaits you is the glory of freedom I bestow! And... land and wealth."
At the end, Du Wei paused on purpose, and then showed a devil-like smile on his face: "Come on, you prisoners, you guys who have already been judged and decided your fate, you guys should have Prisoners who have been trampled under your feet, whose life is lower than the soil, from now on, cheer for your changing destiny, here, right now, pledge your allegiance to me, and then I will give you... freedom."
There was silence among the crowd. After a short period of silence, enthusiastic cheers erupted, and some roared loudly because of excitement. More people tore off their prison uniforms in excitement, and opened their arms to the sky. .
Then, Du Wei took a long sword from Robert, and he pulled out the long sword with a swipe, pointing at the dark crowd in front of him with a majestic face.
The crowd fell silent, then people started kneeling, one... two... ten... a hundred...
When all 4,000 people in the audience were kneeling on the ground, Du Wei nodded in satisfaction, and then said in a deep voice: "Okay, your allegiance will be rewarded by me the most. Now, in the name of the Duke of the Empire, I will restore You are free, and given your number, you will be the first infantry division of my private army of the Tulip family."
"Long live the Duke!"
I don't know who was the first to shout out, and then countless voices erupted. They thanked the young Duke who pulled him from the death line with the loudest voices, and praised Du Wei with the loudest voices.
"Young man, door." Du Wei laughed loudly: "Now, I command you to go out in the drill queue and turn around. Your goal is outside the city, just five miles outside the city, where there is a new uniforms... and... hot meals."
When the words "hot food" were uttered at the end, the crowd erupted into even bigger cheers, and then, these guys who had been hungry all night and sat on the square until dawn, seemed to have had their blood pumped In the same way, with enthusiasm, they turned around in a neat queue that was even comparable to a military parade, and then followed Du Wei's order to turn around and head out of the city in an exercise queue.
Du Wei's throat was a little sore. He was tired from shouting for so long just now. He jumped off the bullock cart, glanced at Knight Robert, and said with a smile, "Okay, Knight Robert, go now. Catch up with your team, these people will be under your command from now on."
Robert looked at Du Wei in surprise.
"What's the matter?" Du Wei smiled, and then said in a more emphatic tone, "Your Excellency, Robert?"
Seeing the black crowd in the square running out neatly, Viedro was a little panicked. He couldn't help reminding Du Wei: "Master... Sir, there are so many people, don't you send someone to take care of them? If they escape …or rebellion...”
Du Wei glanced at him and said lightly: "No, because I gave them what they need most—hope!"
Du Wei didn't stay in Big Ear City too much. After recruiting these 4,000 people, he left Big Ear City immediately, but when he was leaving, Commander Viedro seemed to have mixed emotions.
On the one hand, in his heart, he hoped that these Lord Dukes would leave quickly... After all, he still had some small calculations in his mind. It was almost noon, and if the Lord Duke wanted to stay for dinner, there would be nothing delicious and delicious in Big Ear City right now. Something to entertain this nobleman.
But on the other hand, Viedro seemed to have some feelings for the duke... how should I put it, he had a strange feeling in his heart: Maybe, with the change of his fate, he could have a relationship with the young duke!
When sending Du Wei out of the city, Du Wei didn't speak all the way, he just quietly looked at the legendary city of sin. Before he got into the carriage, he suddenly stood up and turned to look at Commander Viedro. At this time, a smile appeared on his face.
"Your Excellency Viedro, do you... want a chance to change your destiny?"
Viedro felt excited, he almost rolled and knelt on the ground: "My lord!"
Du Wei pointed to the Big Ear City behind Viedro: "Your city holds tens of thousands of prisoners and slaves all year round, right?"
"... yes." Viedro nodded.
"These are all wealth." Du Wei smiled: "Take good care of those prisoners here, don't starve them, and feed me all the strong ones, and I will send someone to find you again."
Viedro's face was a little weird... Raising those prisoners and slaves to be strong? Can food...
Du Wei immediately saw the leader's difficulty: "I will send someone to bring you food, but..."
He beckoned to Biedro, and the commander quickly walked to his side and bent down.
"This is your secret." Du Wei left a smile, then turned and got into the carriage.
In this city of sin, every year... no, every month, a large number of criminals and slaves are sent here! Those people come from all over the continent, they have no hope, no future! And if I could give them a glimmer of light...they'd be willing to shed their last drop of blood just to catch that glimmer of hope, even if it's illusory!
Bleed for me!
