Black Knight From Blue Star

 Tatud City.

Another human city is considered a medium-sized city because it was established relatively early and has been expanded three times.

It is twice the size of the city of Basov and has about three times the population.

It stands to reason that such a city with a large population is quite prosperous.

But...if the supplies are not abundant enough and the population is too large, it will be a tragedy.

This was the case in Tatud City at this time. Hardy could smell the smell of feces and urine just standing at the gate of the city.

He had to add a barrier to himself to isolate the stench from outside.

Although there are many people urinating in the streets in Basov City, after all, this is a characteristic of the times and cannot be completely eliminated.

But Hardy took a lot of measures to punish this.

In addition to sewers, drainage ditches and other basic livelihood facilities, laws have also been enacted to restrict the behavior of citizens. If you are caught urinating in the street, you not only have to clean up your own excrement, but you also have to help clean up the rice fields in public toilets. This makes fewer people dare to defecate in the street.

At least it won't stink.

In addition, Hardy also found that the guards responsible for guarding the city gate were all disheveled, without much energy, and looked very weak at first glance.

Rather than being said to be guards, they looked more like refugees wearing leather armor and armed with weapons.

Even the guards looked like this, so one could imagine what the situation in the entire city was like.

It's just that Hardy still wants to go in and take a look. After all... Judging from the map, Tatud City is a very important strategic location. As long as it is controlled, the east side of Basov City can be stabilized, and the enemy can attack Basov. City, Tatud City must be captured first. In this way, Basov City can barely be considered to have some strategic depth.

After setting up the barrier, Hardy took a step forward, but then put his raised foot back down.

Because he saw prison cars being pulled out of the city gate.

There were many slaves crammed into the cages of each prison car.

There were men, women, and children, but no elderly people.

Hardy retreated into the darkness and watched quietly.

In this era, the slave trade was nothing unusual.

But generally speaking, slave-catching teams captured people in the wild and then transported them to other cities for sale.

This is the first time I have seen selling people directly from my own city.

However, although Hardy felt a little sad, he made no move to save others.

First of all, he is not the Holy Mother. The world is full of slave trade. He can't control too much. He can control only one-third of an acre of land under his command, which is already very good.

In addition, the situation in Tatud City is not optimistic. They can be sold, or there is a way to survive.

Prison vehicles came out of the city one after another, and not long after, more than 40 vehicles came out.

In each prison van, more than thirty people were packed tightly together, stacked on top of each other, almost like a can.

After careful calculation, this slave trading team packed more than a thousand people in the prison car to take out food.

It doesn't sound like a lot, but in fact more than a thousand people lined up on the playground, and it was a densely packed area.

Hardy still didn't move.

But Hardy later discovered that something was wrong. He vaguely heard the members of the caravan saying with a smile: "Send them to the lizard people in the east, and we can make a profit. An adult man can sell three silver coins. This After one trip, we can earn at least thirty gold coins."

Hardy's expression turned cold.

He didn't want to say anything about the slave trade among humans. Although slaves had no dignity and lived a miserable life, they at least had hope of surviving.

But if you send it to the lizard people... you can only become a two-legged sheep, the so-called human food.

There are even children under five years old... Is this planned for breeding?

Or is it that children taste better and are special goods?

Hardy narrowed his eyes, then moved forward in the darkness, following the caravan.

The convoy moved forward slowly, and it took more than two hours to finally get out of the range of Tatoud. The slave caravan moved slowly, but Hadi walked very fast.

Three minutes later, Hardy took advantage of the darkness and stabbed the last caravan member in the waist.

The shrill screams attracted everyone's attention.

The hostility of the caravan members, and the surprised and expectant looks of the slaves.

About eight minutes later, Hardy shook off the blood on his sword. Around him, there were many corpses lying in random directions.

The owner of the caravan is not dead. He has lost his legs and is lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

The slaves in the prison car had been released and were huddled together not far away.

"Please, let me go." The owner of the caravan is a middle-aged man who looks thin but has very fair skin. He looks pampered at first glance: "I can give you all my money, including everything in my family. "Hardy put the sword back into the system backpack and asked coldly: "Is it your idea to send these people to the lizard people's city, or is it someone else's order?"

"It's an order from Lord Tatud." The caravan owner's voice is slowly getting weaker. He has lost a lot of blood and doesn't have much physical strength left at this time. He may even faint at any time: "He wants to replace these people with food."

Hardy snorted and said disdainfully: "If the lizard people still have food, why would they still eat people?"

"Really." The caravan owner's face gradually turned green: "There is a rhizome of a plant in the lizard man's warehouse. That thing is edible food for humans, but it is poison to the lizard man. If you eat it, If there is too much, the body will drink it, so they are willing to change it.”

This is indeed reasonable. After all, for humans, chocolate is considered a delicacy, but for dogs, it is poison.

It's a similar situation with the lizard people.

But I have to say that this is very profitable. You sell the slaves first, and then buy the food back. You can make a lot of money every time you come back. It is simply a golden trade route.

At this time, the caravan owner stretched out his hand to Hadi and begged: "Save me."

Both legs of the caravan owner were cut off and they were bleeding profusely. If they were not bandaged, he would really die.

Hardy ignored him and walked to the group of slaves.

"Save...me."

When the caravan owner saw Hardy leaving, he was desperate, but he still shouted subconsciously.

As for the slave group, as Hadi approached, they subconsciously retreated.

A group of smelly and dirty people were crowded together, and the smell was particularly unpleasant.

There were also women holding crying children and looking uneasily at the young man in front of them who looked like a big shot.

"You go and collect all the dry food on the cart, and then kill all the horses pulling the cart, and make it into pieces of meat, enough for you to eat on the road." Hardy said in a calm tone: "Then go west. , there is a city called Basov, which will take you in. "

Basov City is expanding, and it is very simple to accommodate one or two thousand more people.

The slaves looked at each other in disbelief.

Are you saved?

At this time, Hardy suddenly frowned. He pointed at a man in Renjun and said, "You, come out!"

The crowd suddenly parted, and the man pointed by Hardy subconsciously wanted to hide in the crowd.

But Hardy's finger kept pointing at him, and after more than ten seconds, he had to stand up.

This is a very normal adult male with brown eyes. There is nothing special about him except that he is very thin.

Hardy looked him up and down for a while and said, "Take off your clothes."

The other party was wearing a short-sleeved linen shirt that was so dirty that it almost turned black.

He looked at Hardy with fear in his eyes.

The body is also shaking.

There has been no action.

"Do you choose to take off your clothes or choose to die?" Hardy looked at him coldly, then looked back.

At this time, the owner of the caravan had completely fainted, but the stubble on his thigh was still bleeding.

It is estimated that in more than ten seconds, this person will convulse, and then die from excessive blood loss in a coma.

"Death like him." Hardy pointed to the caravan master's lying body.

The man trembled and took off his clothes.

Then the entire group of slaves screamed and tried to avoid this man.

Because this man had a lot of 'wart strip-like' granulations on his lower abdomen.

It's orange and slightly translucent, and it's densely packed in a circle on the lower abdomen. It's disgusting to look at.

Hardy had seen this thing not long ago.

It comes from the red clay plains.

Hardy's eyes were full of coldness, and he asked: "How did you get into this **** thing?"

Hardy knew very well that this thing was contagious.

The man suddenly knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "More than ten days ago, the lord threw us into a pool. In two days, these terrible things will start to grow."

us?

Hardy looked at the group of slaves and said: "Everyone, take off all your clothes and pants. I will check them one by one!" (End of Chapter)
