Chapter 259

After clearing out the incoming corpses, Rosaria swung out the Gluttony Greatsword and blew up the ceiling. The falling stone slabs smashed down and blocked the entrances and exits tightly.

"Done, this way, the corpses can't get in."

No longer entangled with the remaining corpses in the house, Rosaria blocked the entrances and exits of the city wall one by one.

After Tisifa's combat power recovered, he and the great swordsman killed the corpses floor by floor.

The battle lasted until the evening, and the two chosen gods were almost exhausted.

After coming down from the city wall, Rosaria kept burping, and Tisifa was dizzy and trembling all over, reporting the battle situation to Field.

"Thank you for your hard work. You are all my wings." Field was so touched that he quickly massaged the shoulders of the two. "Everyone go back and rest. I told the servants in advance that they have prepared hot water and food."

"It's nothing. Hiccup~ The life energy is about to overflow, but the physical and mental strength are about to return to zero."

Rosaria waved her hand. Her originally elegant and intellectual face was now full of "wisdom".

Tisifa held her waist and said weakly: "Me too, it's about to overflow."

There are an astonishing number of corpses in Starry Night City. According to known information, the corpses will grow out of the gray fog. If they are cleared too slowly, they will be busy in vain.

"The entrances and exits of the southern city wall have been blocked. The next step is to grind water. After occupying the city wall, we can attack from high and low. The corpses can only fight siege battles."

The next morning, Field personally observed the first execution in Night Territory.

Anwei, who was tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, was paraded around the streets and pushed onto the temporary gallows built in the slave camp.

The slaves in the audience were terrified and dared not speak.

But after Tate detailed An Wei's attempt to cause a riot, the slaves began to whisper.

"I didn't expect this guy to riot."

"Yeah, he's too brave."

"I thought he was a good man before, and he even gave me half a piece of black bread. Is there a misunderstanding?"

The slaves said all kinds of things.

"According to our investigation, many slaves knew about An Wei's actions. But you new slaves all chose to conceal it, and no one reported it. As a punishment, you will have your three meals reduced by half."

As soon as these words came out, the slaves went crazy.

Naturally, they didn't dare to have any opinions about the lord, and they took their anger out on An Wei on the stage.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The slaves who originally held their own opinions deeply experienced the pain after their own interests were harmed, and they resolutely unified their thoughts.

Tate, who was in charge of executing the criminal law, read out in a stern tone: "Slave An Wei, for endangering the lives and safety of the people and maliciously infringing on the rights of the Baron, has been sentenced to death. Do you have any opinion?"

An Wei, with a bruised face and nose, could not speak. Although he tried to struggle and curse, he could only make vague mumbling sounds.

"No words, no opinion."

Tate served as the warden when he was in Maple Leaf City. He was very familiar with the criminal law. He did not give him time to talk nonsense and directly put the rope around his neck.

Amid the curses of countless people, An Wei was hanged like bacon.

Before he died, there was only endless regret in his mind. He hated himself for being too rash and regretted listening to Simon's nonsense.

Field stood aside and shook his head silently: "I don't know if this trick of collective punishment is too much, after all, most slaves are good."

Tisifa put his ten fingers together and prayed: "Yes, sir, many people have suffered from unprovoked disasters. It's just like what the church's holy book says: the flesh and blood of innocent people are eaten by vultures..."

"No, we must use brutal means to deal with ignorant people."

Ashina's scarlet eyes were full of dominance. She hugged her hands in front of her chest: "If it were in the wolf tribe, those who lived in the same room with the rioters and their blood relatives would be killed. Your Excellency is already very merciful."

"It is true that severe punishments should be used in troubled times, but it is better to curb it from the beginning in the future."

Thinking of a lot of systems that can be improved, Field wrote them down and sighed: "There are still many things that need to be learned and mastered."

"Let's go, let's go to Starry Night City first, and continue to recover the city wall today."

Field adjusted his collar, sorted out his complicated thoughts, and stepped on the warhorse with a tiptoe.

At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came, and the one who came to report was a wolf subhuman cavalryman.

The cavalryman turned over and dismounted, reporting: "Sir, one of the slaves we were responsible for escorting fell into a strange place, like an underground lair of a monster, and his life or death is unknown."

"Oh? What happened?"

Last night, Silver Claw led the subhuman cavalry to escort the rioting slaves, go to the salt mine to work permanently, and build an outpost by the way.

"A slave went to relieve himself, but he missed and fell into a dark cave." The cavalry gestured a big circle, "We heard a terrifying whistle and a sound similar to a waterfall, which was very scary."

"Cave, there is such a place in Night Territory."

According to the detailed map left by the Starry Night family, there should be no cave in Night Territory.

Field thought for a moment and wanted to fill it up casually, but thinking that there were many secrets hidden in the Northern Province, he said: "I know about this, and you will be responsible for leading the way later."

"Yes." The cavalry responded loudly.

"The cave... It would be great if there was treasure, but it is unlikely. The most feared thing is the appearance of a powerful underground monster. If it digs into the Starry Night Winery, it will be a disaster. Or it will ambush us along the way, which will cause great trouble."

Burrowing monsters, such as explosive earth bears, sand worms or earth dragons, are all powerful monsters.

Another possibility is that if the slave didn't die after falling into the cave, but instead inherited some artifact, or passed on some skills from his grandfather, and came back to avenge himself, Field was unwilling to accept it.

Even if this possibility is ridiculous.

But at the critical moment of territory construction, Field could not tolerate potential threats.

"You lead the way, let's go to the cave first."

Selecting fifty soldiers, taking Ashina and Tisifa, Field set off immediately.

After walking along the road for a long time, the location of the salt mine could be seen. The wolf cavalry pointed to the newly erected signboard and reported: "Sir, that's it. We are worried that someone else will fall in, so we set up a warning sign."

The entrance to the cave is covered by dense rotten plants and tentacles. From the outside, it looks exactly the same as the ground.

Without reconnaissance means, it is impossible to imagine that this is a cave.

"You did a good job."

Nodding in approval, Field asked the soldiers to surround the cave and build simple defenses such as antlers.

"It's pitch black, I can't see."
