my cube kingdom

Chapter 399 The Secret of the Grand Square
"The distance between the Cube Kingdom and the Seven Kingdoms in the North is separated by a whole black mountain range. I suspect that the underground transportation built may have to wait until autumn."

Holding a crude stone pickaxe, using an extremely inefficient distribution method.

Seeing that the Seven Northern Kingdoms fulfilled their promises like this, Zhao Zhongguo couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"This is not working! I think this is suffering!"

After waiting for more than a month, the messengers between Cube Kingdom and the seven northern countries have visited twice, but the total length of the underground tunnels built is less than a thousand squares.

Incredibly inefficient.

If the excavators of Cube Kingdom were to dig the tunnel, it is estimated that they could dig [-] blocks away in a month.

"Actually, it's not such an exaggeration... The motherland started construction together with the construction teams from the seven northern countries... Well, it should take another two months! Our people will be able to dig here in two months!"

Looking at the extremely dim underground tunnel under the light of the torches, Zhao Zhongguo sighed.

Really TM is a pig teammate!

"Forget it, go and tell the people of the Seven Northern Kingdoms that they don't need to dig any more tunnels, and the people from our Cube Kingdom will dig them here...but ask them to come up with other conditions as compensation."

But I don't know if Zhao Zhongguo's voice is relatively loud, even if the sound is lowered as much as possible, the sound is slowly spreading in the tunnel that only has the sound of knocking.

The person with a few hundred squares in the front holding a pickaxe and striking the stone with all his strength, felt like a bolt from the blue when he heard this, and fell to his knees directly on the ground.

"You are..."

"My lord, we are very capable! We can increase the speed of digging stones as much as possible, please don't let us go..."

Those kings with big bellies would not send out precious inner city people to do such heavy physical work here, so all the workers who dig tunnels here are selected from the "slums" outside the city.

"Yes, my lord! We can work hard, we can work long hours, please don't let us leave here!"

"I still have a wife and children waiting for me to raise them, please don't fire us..."

"We don't want meat, it doesn't matter if there is less bread, let us stay!"

"..."

Without exception, hundreds of workers all knelt on the ground, kowtowed their heads symbolizing the dignity of the square man, and begged Zhao Zhongguo not to deprive them of their last hope in a humble way.

"This is……"

Zhao Zhongguo knew that their life was very difficult, but he never thought that they would actually keep their jobs in this way.

Sacrifice your dignity in exchange for a job...

"The living conditions of the residents here are worse than we imagined!"

Absurdity, shock, anger... These complex emotions flickered frequently in his heart, and mixed together to form an indescribable complex emotion.

"You all get up!"

Thinking that the rewards of this job are only three breads and one piece of pork a day, it can actually make countless people abandon their dignity.

There was a trace of sadness in Zhao Zhongguo's tone of voice.

"My lord, please don't deprive us of our jobs, please!"

But no one stood up.

They still knelt on the ground and kept praying for the same purpose - to keep their jobs.

"Not only did I kneel down physically, but I also knelt down mentally. Once I knelt down, it was very difficult to stand up again."

"But if it's not forced by life, who would be willing to kneel? Who wouldn't want to stand and gain something through their own labor?"

Thinking of what he saw and heard in the seven northern countries this month, the scene of absenteeism kneeling directly became the fuse.

It ignited Zhao Zhongguo's inner killing intent towards the ruling class of the seven northern countries.

"Get up, everyone, do your work as usual. And I will give you more food and more rest time!"

It doesn't matter whether the underground tunnels in the seven northern countries are built or not. The most important thing is to protect more poor people in the outer cities.

After leaving the tunnel and returning to the ground, Zhao Zhongguo figured out one thing, and ran straight towards the Cube Kingdom embassy without stopping.

"You should already understand how deformed the society of the seven northern countries is."

"Yes."

It was Tie Mulan that Zhao Zhongguo went to see.

"General, on the way here, you should have also discovered that there are no monsters spawning around the Seven Northern Kingdoms."

Cooperating with the powerful Cube Kingdom behind her, Tie Mulan used various methods for more than a month to obtain the secrets hidden in the innermost parts of the Seven Northern Kingdoms.

Threats, persecution, benefits, temptations...

A diplomat has become a secret service leader.

But it was also under her hard work that she finally knew everything.

Why does every country in the Seven Kingdoms have a large square.

Why do they keep gathering all the people from the surrounding villages outside the city walls.

Why are the residents outside the city walls restricted from leaving freely.

Why do they have a large population, but the quantity and quality of their troops are so low...

All this is so absurd.

Realizing that what Tie Mulan was going to say next might be a secret, Zhao Zhongguo immediately closed the doors and windows.

"The [Grand Square] in their Seven Kingdoms is a spectacle, but this spectacle is not the same as our Cube Kingdom. It is composed of eight parts."

"The production of such a spectacle is cumbersome and harsh, but the effect it provides is also very magical."

Although Tie Mulan's explanation made Zhao Zhongguo feel very puzzled, but thinking that she spent her childhood and childhood in this kind of environment, Zhao Zhongguo didn't speak, and quietly listened to it.

"The ability provided by the spectacle of the large square is based on the square people as a parameter. When every five square people are trapped outside the big clock tower area, the number of monsters generated in the area will decrease."

"As the number of cubemen trapped in the outer perimeter increases, the cubemen living in the large square area will spawn fewer monsters."

"By analogy, there are now a total of more than 1000 residents in the cities of the seven northern countries, while the number of residents outside the cities is [-]."

"Such an exaggerated number has reached the limit of the wonders of the Grand Square, and the seven northern countries will no longer spawn monsters..."

With her back to him, Tie Mulan supported a corner of the table.

Zhao Zhongguo could clearly feel the almost gushing hatred in Tie Mulan's heart.

Sacrifice the lives of eleven thousand siblings...even their lives for the benefit of four thousand.

What is the need for such a deformed society to exist?

"This matter is too shocking, we cannot make a decision, we must hand it over to His Majesty."

Zhao Zhongguo could feel what Tie Mulan was thinking and reminded.

Although he also hated this kind of society, he was a soldier, and a soldier's bounden duty was to obey orders. If His Majesty the King did not issue an order, then he should not take other extraneous actions.

"I know, but I believe His Majesty the King will make the most correct choice."
