"There's another guy?"
Di Funi frowned and thought, didn’t you just say that all the men in the village had been detained by you? How come another one suddenly appears now
Just as he was about to go forward to see what was going on, a man over two meters tall and extremely strong appeared in his field of vision, being escorted by several soldiers.
"Are you talking about him?" asked Difoni.
"That's right." The soldier nodded and said, "When we searched the house just now, we missed a basement. The guy is hiding in an empty wine barrel."
"In the wine vat in the basement?"
Di Foni nodded, then waved to the soldiers, asking them to bring the man to him.
After taking a closer look at the man's face, he realized he had never seen him before, so he lowered his guard and said coldly, "Tell me your name and age."
"Alford, twenty-five years old." The suppressed man replied expressionlessly.
"Efford?"
Difoni scratched his helmet, feeling as if he had heard this name somewhere before.
"Forget it, let's just send him to the cannon fodder camp. The new government might come to attack us in the next few days. It would be a very good choice to use these people to delay time."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted Aiford on the shoulder, and said with a very cold expression: "Don't even think about running away. All your relatives in this village are under our control. If I find out that you are a deserter, your family will die miserably."
As soon as he finished speaking, he signaled his men to take the man away quickly. Then he walked into the village impatiently and began to look for beautiful women.
...
The other side.
As if they were afraid that something might go wrong because of his large body, two soldiers grabbed Vivian's arms, one on the left and one on the right, and walked quickly towards the barracks.
Yes, that's right.
The young man who was caught hiding in the basement and called himself Alford was undoubtedly Vivian.
Alford, taken from his last name Alfred. As for why his appearance is different...of course it's because he has undergone plastic surgery.
With his two wives and Hancock, it was naturally easy for him to learn some makeup techniques. At this moment, his face was not only one or two shades darker than before, but even his facial features had undergone many subtle changes.
At first glance, you can only say that he is a little bit similar to the Thunder Swordsman, but if you say that they are the same person, that would obviously be a bit far-fetched.
"Be honest!"
"Don't struggle, or I'll chop off both of your hands!"
The two soldiers walked away, kicking Vivian's butt and scolding her.
Vivian: “…”
Damn it, I didn’t even struggle!
He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, thinking to himself that you two bastards will be in trouble later.
Soon, under the escort of soldiers, Vivian followed a group of pale-looking men to a military camp.
This was a military camp made up of countless makeshift white tents. In addition, a large number of torture instruments and gallows used for interrogating prisoners were placed on the open space next to the military camp. Vivian took a quick glance and saw a lot of bloody corpses tied to these torture instruments. The scene was so bloody and cruel that it was hard to look at.
"Everyone, walk faster!"
"If anyone dares to resist, the corpse over there will be your fate!"
After saying that, after taking everyone to another open space, he kicked them to the ground and left on his own.
A group of civilians were left sitting on the ground, watching the patrolling soldiers passing by from time to time. They looked at each other blankly for a moment, not knowing what to do.
"What should we do now?" one of the men in his thirties couldn't help but ask.
He was sleeping at home early in the morning, and before he could open his eyes, he was dragged here by the intruding soldiers.
"what to do?"
The other people who heard this all blinked their eyes and thought to themselves, we have just arrived, how would we know what to do
However, just when everyone, including Vivian, didn't know what to do, some people who had been here for a long time whispered to them: "Don't waste your energy trying to escape, otherwise everyone will die miserably."
"What do you mean by that?"
The seventeen-year-old young man turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man who was speaking.
The middle-aged man smiled helplessly upon hearing this, and then explained: "Did you see the bodies in the execution ground when you came? Those people wanted to escape but were caught, so they ended up like that..."
"They left you here on purpose to test your courage. The brave ones will not survive, but the timid ones have a chance of survival..."
"Did you do that on purpose?"
Vivian was also rubbing her chin at this time.
Only the faint of heart can survive
Isn't this the same as saying that only the obedient can survive
Forced conscription naturally does not require disobedient guys. All they need are cannon fodder, enough cannon fodder.
Of course, capable people will also be treated preferentially, but they will not be reused by them.
"In that case, doesn't it mean that only one of us will die anyway?" someone said.
"uncertain."
The middle-aged man shook his head. "You know, if we were on the battlefield, we might still have a chance to find a way to escape, but if we try to escape now, we'll only end up dead."
"Why?" Many people were confused. "Wouldn't it be easier to die on the battlefield?"
"That's under normal circumstances, but you have to know that the team that came to deal with the coalition of sixty-four nations is under the new government. It is rumored that the army led by the Thunder Swordsman will never kill innocent people indiscriminately." The man said with a very determined look.
Vivian, who was listening nearby, blinked her eyes and thought to herself, where did this rumor come from? Why don’t I know about it
He was thinking, although he had been adhering to the principle of not killing innocent people all along, who could guarantee that he would not accidentally kill innocent people in a war
Therefore, he dared not say that he or his team would never kill innocent people indiscriminately.
However, other civilians who heard this sentence showed the same reaction at the same time.
"Thunder Sword Master Vivian?"
"Then... maybe there really is hope of survival!"
Vivian: “…”
