Chapter 237: Late night deserter successfully returns to the city

Translator: 549690339

The endless wilderness would become extremely dangerous at night, and very few people would come out.

If it wasn’t for the situation forcing him, Tang Zhen would not be willing to rush at night.

Fortunately, the nearby monsters had been cleared out by the undead, so it was much safer to travel at night.

Under the bright moonlight, a long line was slowly moving forward, with no end in sight.

The car lights were bright, the engine roared, and the shouts of the Holy Dragon City soldiers were endless.

Due to the large number of people, they made a lot of noise when they walked. Fortunately, they did not encounter any monsters.

In order to prevent anyone from escaping and causing trouble during the March, the soldiers of the Holy Dragon City were all on high alert and loaded their bullets. If any disobedient prisoners made trouble, they would immediately shoot and kill them.

After killing dozens of troublemakers, the captives finally calmed down and didn’t dare to act rashly.

After seeing this scene, Tang Zhen was slightly relieved and temporarily shifted his gaze away from the map.

The thing he was most worried about along the way was the captives from the three towers. It would be a pity to kill them, but not killing them would also be a great hidden danger.

Fortunately, the city of hundred Flower Valley had already surrendered to the Holy Dragon City. Now, they had all returned to their own territory.

It wouldn’t be long before Centaurea Valley’s city Lord would take all the residents to Holy Dragon City.

As for whether that woman would come according to the agreement, Tang Zhen actually didn’t care.

If the hundred Flower Valley’s city Lord kept his promise, Tang Zhen would have less trouble. Otherwise, he would have to send troops to attack.

Traveling in the night would definitely greatly affect one’s vision, and at the same time, it would also block the small movements of many people.

A group of Warriors were mumbling among the captives of colossal bone city, and at the same time, a short dagger was being passed to and from the crowd.

The ropes binding them were cut off silently. In order not to be discovered by the Holy Dragon City soldiers, they continued to hold the ropes in their hands and put on a nonchalant expression.

Before they knew it, several hundred of the giant bone city captives had already cut the ropes in their hands.

At this moment, they began to wait for an opportunity, ready to escape into the depths of the wilderness under the cover of the night.

A thousand meters away, Tang Zhen expressionlessly looked at the actions of the colossal bone city captives while his fingers lightly tapped on his raised thigh.

When the colossal bone city captives had just started to plan to escape, Tang Zhen had already discovered their little tricks. However, he did not send anyone to stop them this time.

Under the map perspective, any conspiracy could not be hidden in Tang Zhen’s eyes.

Since these guys didn’t know how to appreciate his kindness, he would let them taste the consequences of running away without permission. At the same time, it would also serve as a warning to those who harbored unfathomable motives.

Since Tang Zhen had such a plan, the fate of these colossal bone city captives was already decided.

The team continued to move forward slowly, but when they passed by a Hill, the prisoners of the giant bone city suddenly shouted and ran in the only direction that they could not stop.

These captives ‘actions immediately caused quite a commotion. Many of the captives who had not untied their ropes also tried to escape. However, after dozens of them were knocked down by the Holy Dragon City Warriors, they immediately became obedient.

Their eyes were fixed on the captives who were running toward the distant colossal bone city, waiting to see if they could escape successfully.

“Pa!”

More than ten bright lights shone on the escaping captives, allowing everyone in the team to see what was going to happen next.

“Bang Bang Bang!”

A series of heavy footsteps sounded, and the people in the team were shocked to find that a few huge shadows were blocking the escape route of these captives.

it’s the ogres, the ogres in armor!

Some of the captives with good eyesight shouted out loud, pointing at those huge black shadows.

As he shouted, more and more prisoners and citizens of Black Rock City recognized the identity of the black shadows.

They quietly held their breaths, wanting to see what would happen next.

The fleeing giant bone city captives also saw the black shadow in front of them, and their faces were filled with fear as they tried to turn around and escape.

A huge fear of death shrouded their hearts, making their legs tremble.

But before they could turn around, the ogres ‘huge clubs whistled through the air and smashed into the bodies of the giant bone city captives.

“Bang Bang Bang!”

A series of dull thuds could be heard. It was the sound of the spiked club smashing into bodies. It was mixed with the shrill cries of the prisoners from colossal bone city and the sound of bones being broken. It filled the wilderness that was shrouded in the night.

Under the bright lights, five huge ogres were trampling on the captives of giant bone city.

They waved their spiked clubs, which were filled with bits of flesh and organs, and easily crushed the captives of the giant bone city.

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and screams of pain could be heard!

When the last giant bone city captive’s head exploded, the ogres, under big bear’s command, licked the meat off their spiked clubs and once again hid in the night.

All that was left were broken limbs and bones scattered all over the ground.

The prisoners of giant bone city who had tried to escape had all been killed, and the team continued to move forward.

However, the tragic scene that had just happened was clearly displayed in the eyes of the onlookers, causing them to shiver.

When they thought of the tragic fate that would befall them if they were to escape, all of them extinguished the plans in their hearts and obediently followed the order to continue on their way.

With the escape of the colossal bone city captives as a precedent, there were no more accidents along the way.

The bloody massacre in Holy Dragon City had already successfully intimidated these captives and the citizens of Black Rock City.

At noon on the third day, the long journey finally arrived at Holy Dragon City.

Looking at the tall blood-colored walls, all the Holy Dragon City soldiers heaved a sigh of relief. They had been exhausted from the journey.

After seeing the Holy Dragon city’s convoy appear, there were already soldiers who opened the city gates to welcome Tang Zhen and the rest who had returned triumphantly.

The exhausted captives and citizens of Black Rock City began to slowly walk through the gates of Holy Dragon City, but their mood became extremely depressed.

The huge city wall would only make them feel sad, because this was an impassable moat, which completely extinguished their thoughts of escaping.

Tang Zhen stood beside the Holy Dragon city’s city walls and looked at the captives and residents that were swarming into the city like ants. He also felt a sense of relief.

This time, by sending out troops to assist in the battle, not only did they eliminate the hidden danger of the corpse race, they also resolved the problem of Black Rock City, and also gained a large number of residents and captives.

As long as they were slowly appeased and converted, these people would become a part of Holy Dragon City, contributing to the city’s strength.

The next thing to do was to separate the captives from the citizens of Black Rock City.

The captives would be locked up in temporary cages, and the citizens of Black Rock City would be forced to work under the watch of the soldiers.

Tang Zhen would gradually give these survivors their freedom based on their performance and allow them to have the qualifications to become Holy Dragon city’s residents.

With an example, these survivors of Black Rock City would definitely perform well in order to get rid of their half-captive status and obtain the qualification to become a resident of the tower as soon as possible.

As for the imprisoned soldiers and cultivators, Tang Zhen would use the same method to continuously divide and select them to become a member of the Holy Dragon city’s armed forces.

However, before that, Tang Zhen had to completely sweep the three towers and bring the families of these soldiers to Holy Dragon City.

With their families ‘support, these unruly fellows could then work for the Holy Dragon City with peace of mind.
