Chapter 332

Looking at the thorough prayer eyes in the eyes of the children in front of him, hetus couldn't help being silent.

This kind of look was seen from time to time in the process of his growth, but there were few scenes as cruel as today.

The lives of these children in front of him depend on his thoughts. As long as he gives an order, dozens of young and pure souls will die.

This feeling raised an inexplicable feeling in hetus's heart, which seemed to be sad and mixed with other emotions.

"This hole... Can't be opened."

In silence, hetus had a hoarse throat, opened his mouth and said in a voice he could hear.

In this world, there are too many tragedies like this. Only among the wild tribes wandering in heratu, which tribe will lack such children?

Of course, he can be willful and accept all these children once, but what about the future? This batch was saved, and how to deal with the next batch?

Hetus turned around, his dark eyes exuded a black hole like attraction and looked at the children.

In these children, hetus can clearly see a wave of anger and hatred. Those who are too young are OK, but those who are about seven or eight years old already have the concept of hatred. At this time, looking at hetus's eyes, there was not only prayer, but also fear and hatred.

It was not complicated, but it made hetus sigh.

"Pick out the older girls and dispose of the rest."

He took another look and ordered his soldiers.

Hearing the command, his soldier, a wild warrior in his prime, nodded clearly, then raised a sneer on his face, held a knife in his hand, and walked steadily forward.

Girls can be sent to the royal palace to serve as maids and servitudes to serve the king, which is still of some value.

In front, the young man in front of him came towards him. These children could no longer suppress their fear and frantically wanted to run away.

But with these children alone, how can they run away when several soldiers are watching? There is no other use except to consume their physical strength.

A crimson dyed the earth red. Hetus watched the fresh lives die under the soldiers' knives and axes, and the situation in his heart gradually rose.

He felt a little unbearable and guilty, but over time, these emotions were slowly expelled, leaving only the inner peace and the silence and indifference to death.

This feeling is very strange. It is not so much numbness as that he is born with this trait and can ignore death. In this cruel battlefield, this trait has been excellent performance.

Slowly, he went forward and looked at a body under his feet.

A few minutes ago, this was a lovely boy, only three or four years old, but now, he can only lie quietly on the ground and leave a body.

The body will freeze in a day, and then decay in a few months, if it is not eaten by the wild animals.

Looking at the body, hetus suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. It was not fear, but a unique emotion, as if the boy was still alive, existed in the body and did not die.

He reached out his hand and touched the body, quietly experiencing this feeling.

This feeling lasted for less than half an hour, then became weaker and weaker, and finally disappeared completely.

"Is this the soul of man?" unconsciously, he muttered to himself. Looking at the blue sky in the sky, a kind of confusion suddenly rose in his heart.

This is a loss of the meaning of life. It comes fast and goes fast.

When the soldiers around cleaned up the booty, hetus got up and asked people to set fire here. A fire burned everything.

The king returned victoriously with his guard and brought rich booty, which naturally brought great prestige to hetus and made his name thoroughly implemented in this country.

After three years of running in, hetus had completely mastered the domestic situation. He not only trained a force in his own hands, but also slowly ran in with the domestic aristocrats, making them familiar with and support his king.

With these foundations, hetus began to sort out the domestic.

He led the guard to clear up the wild tribes in China, which not only swept away these unstable factors, but also obtained a large number of booty and slaves.

Hetus granted slaves to the soldiers who fought for him, and granted land to these soldiers to make them landlords.

This has not only gained the support of the army and increased the enthusiasm of the domestic people, but also increased the available land and tax sources.

At the same time, he gathered a large number of soldiers' land together, set up villages in places suitable for reclamation, and used the identity and contacts of these soldiers to call on the wild people of their tribe to settle down, cultivate and graze for them.

The world's agriculture is still in a very primitive stage. With simple tools and primitive farming methods, there is little difference between nomadic and agricultural income. Therefore, in addition to occasionally plundering the food of other tribes, those wild tribes also belong to the lifestyle of half farming and half grazing. In the sowing season, sow the seeds at will, let them grow, and harvest them when they are harvested. In this case, the grain from grazing and hunting even evades farming.

This is not only a difference in consciousness, but also a limitation of the original conditions. Compared with nomadism and hunting, farming belongs to heavy manual work, which consumes too much labor under this primitive condition. In addition, these wild people have no farming habits and the land has not been reclaimed, so it is difficult to have a good harvest.

The chaotic environment outside also limits this. A large number of wild people and bandits fill the wasteland. You work hard for a year, and others only need to destroy it a little, which is enough to make you lose your money for a year, and even the whole family starve to death. In this case, those wild people naturally dare not take risks. Only those citizens and nobles in heratu city have the habit of farming.

This situation was changed by hetus. He granted land to those brave soldiers on the battlefield and enough slaves to cultivate for them, so that they could live even if they didn't cultivate themselves. After a slightly prosperous life, they could abandon their original customs and choose to settle in a place. It not only facilitates management, but also increases a large amount of tax sources.

These soldiers often have relatives. After being rich, they will also accept their families to graze for them, and gradually form villages one by one.

In the outside world, after several years of slaves of hetus, the wild families and robbers in Hetu were almost cleaned up, creating a good security environment, which is extremely rare in this chaotic world.

This can be seen from the increasing caravans in the past every year.

Hetus formulated laws, trained the army, and personally set up corresponding posts such as tax officer, village head and sheriff, so as to completely clarify the original fuzzy boundaries.

He is as diligent and careful as ever. With his continuous efforts, his country soon began to become strong. Although famine still exists, it is very good compared with other countries.

Foreign caravans brought a steady stream of distant news to heratus. After heratus began to stabilize, heratus began to look into the distance.

His first goal is his neighbor, the country where his mother once lived.

Hetus' mother was once the princess of that country. Seriously, hetus also has the royal blood of that country and has the right to inherit that country.

At this time, war broke out in that country, famine swept through the country, and a group of outsiders led by a team were plundering, which made the people of that country miserable.

Seeing this, hetus sent messengers to find his grandfather, the king of that country, and expressed his willingness to send troops to help him calm the rebellion in his country, but in return, he needed to hand over part of his land and people to him.

Under pressure, his grandfather agreed. So soon, hetus sent troops, and the elite army crushed all the turmoil in the other party's country and fulfilled his promise.

Hetus fully promised, and then he sent messengers again to ask the other party to fulfill the agreement and give him the land previously agreed to give him.

However, after the war was over, hetus's grandfather did not mean to fulfill his promise at all. He just delayed and did not even promise the previous agreement.

This kind of behavior is naturally disgusting. After it was spread to heratu, it aroused domestic indignation. The soldiers angrily asked to fight and hoped to wash away this shame with blood.

After much consideration, hetus went to ask his mother himself and got his mother's support.

With permission, hetus made an army and started the attack.

At the beginning of a battle, on one side was the army carefully trained by hetus. At this time, 6000 or 7000 people were directly pulled out, which could almost dominate this place, while on the other side, there were only nearly 1000 guards with weak will, lax morale and loose training.

The result of the battle was self-evident. A few months later, hetus stood in the palace and watched his grandfather kneel in front of him. His dark eyes were not moved at all.

He imprisoned his grandfather and claimed to inherit the country in the name of his mother, which greatly reduced the resistance of the people and the nobility.

The annexation of a country has doubled the strength of heratu, which can be called a great power on this wasteland.

Fortunately, after annexing the territory and people of a country, hetus did not inherit and show great aggression. In addition to actively cleaning up domestic bandits and wild families, he did not show any intention to attack other countries.

This situation has relieved the surrounding countries, and the original vigilance began to relax a little.
