Chapter 299 Failure at the beginning
...
"Haha, of course it's true! Haven't you seen what policies our emperor has formulated for the slums in the south in the past few years since he came to power? He has long wanted to give up on those poor people in the south!"
Shadan analyzed with a smug look on his face.
"But Brother Dan, you know they are poor. Even if robbing them is not illegal, I'm afraid we won't be able to extort much money, right?"
"You all laugh at me and say I'm an idiot, but I think you're all idiots! How can they be penniless? Aren't they a huge fortune in themselves? Hehehehe!"
"Oh? Brother Dan, please tell me in detail!"
"Idiot! Since it's not illegal to do anything to them, then capture them all and make them slaves. The men can work as laborers to earn money, and the women... haha! There are so many people living in the south, there must be some young and pretty women among them. I heard that there's a famous beauty living in that shabby church! Then capture them all and sell them to brothels when you get tired of playing with them! Then you'll have all the money and women, right? Hehehehe!"
"Good good!"
Several people began to show greedy and obscene expressions and applauded.
"But the families behind the king and those ministers are definitely prepared to do this. We can't compete with them, but it would be nice to get a piece of the pie."
Someone spoke up to remind.
"Stupid, if we're going to do this, we're going to do it big!"
"Since we already know that such a decree will be announced next year, why don't we take action in advance! We can just find some valuable untouchables and tie them up. We just need to find a place to hide them first, and then pull them out and sell them after the decree is issued, right?"
Shadan said this with a lewd smile on his face.
"Hehehe, you really are worthy of being Brother Dan. I think this is okay. I'll do it with you!"
"I'll join in too!"
"Count me in!"
"Hehe! Same for me! I've never tasted a woman at my age. When the time comes, I must get a female slave with a big butt and good at giving birth to me!"
"piece of cake!"
Except for Shadan himself, 5 out of the 4 people present immediately expressed their decision to join, and everyone turned their eyes to the last person left.
"I need to think about it!"
The man was in a state of confusion. If this was true, the south would soon become a purgatory. He was powerless to stop the king's order. He now just wanted to go back immediately and bring his sister and niece back to the city to live.
We must quickly re-register as urban residents! No! We should just leave this sick country! Who knows if these rulers will turn their attention to ordinary residents after they have abused the civilians in the south!
It's all that damn heart-stealing thief's fault. If he cooperates this time, it'll be fine. But if he dares to stop me, I will definitely shoot him! !
Seeing him hesitate, the eyes of the others gradually turned cold! The conspiracy has been discussed, you know everything, if you don't join now, then you will be a potential hidden danger that may cause bad things!
"What? What's the matter? If I don't join, are you going to kill me?"
Feeling that several colleagues who had been talking and laughing just now were looking at him with unfriendly eyes, the man, who was also a strong-willed person, spoke directly.
"Hahaha, how could we possibly want to kill you in broad daylight at the gate of the imperial city? Gis, don't joke with your brothers like this."
Several people immediately changed their expressions and started laughing with smiles on their faces.
"Humph, so if it wasn't in broad daylight and not at the gate of the Imperial City, my life would be over, right?"
Seeing that the man was not buying it at all, their faces turned ugly again.
Without paying attention to the changes in the expressions on their faces, Gis continued:
"In that case, let's be frank. I don't intend to get involved in your affairs, and I'm not a kind-hearted person. Since this is the law issued by His Majesty the King, a private soldier like me can't change anything whether I agree or not. I won't stand in the way of you getting rich! However, I have family living in the south, and I must go and pick them up before that. After that, I will find a way to leave the country and find a new place to live. Don't get in my way! Let's all live in peace, otherwise no one will have a good life! Humph! Tell the captain that I have an emergency at home and need a few days off!"
The rest of the group was stunned by the powerful aura displayed by Gis, and did not come to their senses until his hurriedly departing figure disappeared from their sight.
"Damn, this guy is so arrogant!"
"Who does he think he is? If it weren't for the friendship we have had as old colleagues, I would definitely go up and beat him up!"
"That's right. He wants us to ask for leave for him? Dream on! I won't help him. I'll just have him marked as absent from work! Humph!"
Several people began to speak one after another and said some harsh words to save face.
"Brother Dan, do you think we should find a chance to kill him?"
A skinny soldier with a wretched face said sinisterly.
"Okay, who's going? How about you go and kill him?"
Shadan rolled his eyes at him and said.
"Hehe, this isn't a good idea, Brother Dan. It's not that I'm afraid. I'm mainly afraid that I alone can't be his opponent, and in the end I'll ruin everyone's plans."
The wretched man who made the suggestion quickly retracted his arrogant neck upon hearing this.
"Don't mess with this lunatic for now. If things get out of hand, no one will be able to have fun. If he doesn't leave the country as agreed, it won't be too late to deal with him."
"Okay, okay, then I'll listen to you, Brother Dan. Let this kid live a little longer!"
The wretched man felt relieved in his heart, but still looked arrogant on the surface.
...
"Hey, you guys! What do you want to do?"
After finishing their plot, the idiots had just returned to their posts guarding the castle gate when they saw a group of people heading straight towards the gate. It was obvious that they were not friendly, especially since there were four tall little giants among them.
(Ivankov is over 4 meters, Barrett is 5 meters, Weibull and Xiong are over 6 meters)
They quickly ran out to stop them. Several of them lined up in a row, raised their muskets and pointed them at Gel and his group, their hands shaking with nervousness.
Ger stopped and said with a smile.
"Put a gun at my head, and be prepared to die..."
"Yeah!"
"Pfft!!"
Weible swung his knife forward, and a slashing light wave similar to the Six-style Storm Kick rushed forward, instantly cutting off several people and the weapons in their hands.
"Brother, can you wait for me to finish what I am saying? Are you in a hurry to go back for dinner?"
"Ah, sorry brother, they didn't intend to listen to you finish your words. Someone was ready to shoot just now."
"Hehe, maybe I'm too nervous. I'm really about to pull the trigger."
Barrett also spoke.
"Forget it, just kill him. He has shifty eyes and I can tell at a glance that he is definitely not a good guy!"
Gel glanced at the bodies lying on the ground and found a reason for their death.
The three people behind him had different expressions.
The bear was shocked. He didn't expect that the seemingly stupid Weevil people could be so ruthless. They killed the soldiers guarding the gate without saying a word. Why did Captain Gel bring them here?
Ginny was eating popcorn with excitement, looking like she was enjoying the fun. Wasn't the King of Thorbe practicing the same tactics as the world's noble celestial dragons? Seeing a complete villain suffer was certainly something to be happy about.
