117. Chapter 116: Raid the Diesel Company


Chapter 116: Raid the Diesel Company

Outside the city wall on the west side, the burned wooden furniture and corpses still emitted a stench.

As the black smoke filled the air, tiny sparks were still burning among the wooden furniture in the trench, releasing more disgusting stench.

“Be careful, don’t set your spear on fire!”

“Over there! Pay attention!”

"You don't need to worry about the furniture, just pull out the corpses!"

Bandak was still commanding the Swadian light infantry, pulling down the corpses attached to the city wall, and then piling them aside. .

After all, the bodies burned on these wooden racks were like barbecues.

If you don’t deal with it, the smell will be excruciating.

Besides, so many pig-headed people and spiritual creatures have died, and there are feather arrows, crossbow bolts, spears and various javelins thrown everywhere outside the city wall as if it were thatch.

All need to carefully clean up the battlefield.

The recycling of recycling.

The processing of this processing.

These tasks all require personal supervision by people with a very delicate and steady personality who can also bear hardships and stand hard work.

Bandak is such a trustworthy person.

"Lord Shen Mu." When Bandak was on the city wall, holding up his mace and directing the work of the Swadian light infantry, he heard footsteps coming from behind.

Turning around to look, he saw 10 Holy Tree Knights approaching, surrounded by Shen Mu.

Immediately stood up straight with a solemn face, then stroked his chest and bent down to salute: "The smell here is unbearable. Lord Shen Mu, with your noble status, you should not appear in such a bad place. ."

"I'll come over and take a look." Shen Mu stood next to the crenel, looking at the battlefield that was almost done, and nodded and praised: "It's done well."

" Thank you for your compliment." Bandak bowed his head humbly and reported quickly:

"We have already collected some useful iron products and put them together separately. After the temperature has cooled down, we will clean and wipe them a little. In this way, we can wait for the merchants to come and just let them take them away. Sold."

"Yes, very good." Shen Mu nodded again.

Leaving this place to Bandak is a very wise choice in itself.

But Shen Mu really doesn’t want to stay here anymore.

Dense black smoke with an unbearable stench brought Shen Mu here, feeling that the choking smell almost went straight into his nostrils.

Compared with the unbearable smell of blood where the corpses were piled up.

The taste here is stronger.

After a brief chat, Shen Mu turned around and left.

I inspected my territory in the morning, although I felt quite proud like a lion patrolling its territory.

But once it comes to this unbearable smell, it’s better to leave.

Moreover, in the prison in the castle area, the Blue Star humans who chose to surrender last night and were captured are being guarded by Fatis.

We arrived at the castle area, next to the three-story castle main building that is more than ten meters high.

Ten saboteurs from the Lake Rat Gang, holding their own serrated spears, stood guard at the entrance of the prison with expressionless faces.

Seeing Shen Mu coming over, he quickly stood up straight again and said respectfully:

"Salute to you, Lord Shen Mu!"

"Yes." Shen Mu nodded, looked at the voices coming from the prison, and asked, "Is Fatis already inside?"

"Yes, Knight Fatis is interrogating the prisoners." replied the Lake Rat Gangbreaker.

Shen Mu nodded.

Just when he was about to speak, a new dialog box suddenly appeared in front of him.

【Ding! The system has detected that an event has occurred! Temporary mission released - capture the prisoners. 】

[Mission Introduction: You obtained 17 surrendered prisoners in the previous battle. These prisoners are all Blue Star humans, and there are many people who know your enemy very well, their former employer, the diesel company. Now, you may be able to capture these prisoners to pave the way for your future attack on the Diesel Company. 】

[Task requirements: Subdue 0/16 prisoners and let them choose to surrender to you. 】

[Task reward: For every captive surrendered, you will receive 1,000 dinars. 】

is a dialog box for temporary system tasks.

"Conquer the prisoners?" Shen Mu raised his eyebrows slightly and read the above content carefully.

There was also a hint of amusement in his eyes.

There are 16 prisoners in total. As long as you capture one, you will get an additional reward of 1,000 dinars.

If you conquer them all, you will get a total reward of 16,000 dinars.

This is very important to Shen Mu, who is now panicking and short of money.

It is still a task that he must complete.

"Open the prison door."

Shen Mu looked inside the prison. Because there were windows and iron bars, he could vaguely see many figures flickering inside.

He couldn't wait to complete the task.

"Yes." As the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs opened the door, Shen Mu also walked in with the knights.

The prison gate is divided into two.

The outermost prison door is opened. After entering, there is a small room about 5 square meters.

There is a table and a chair inside, and a Lake Rat Gang saboteur is sitting here.

There are candles and parchment scrolls as well as quills and ink on the table. They are obviously civil servants responsible for registering visitors and maintaining daily records in the prison.

"Lord Shen Mu."

Seeing Shen Mu come in, the Lake Rat Gang saboteur immediately stood up and saluted respectfully.

And he shouted to the iron door on the inside of the room quite sensibly: "Open the iron door! Master Shen Mu is going in!"

"Understood!" As a response came from inside, the second door inside The iron door was opened with a creaking sound, and the saboteurs of the Lake Rat Gang appeared inside holding torches and respectfully saluting Shen Mu in the darkness.

"Yes."

After Shen Mu entered the second iron gate, he finally entered the castle prison.

It is a huge cell of about 200 square meters, divided into small single rooms by iron fences and wooden fences, with a total of about one hundred.

Moreover, where he first entered, there were various wooden stakes, soldering irons, whips, chairs filled with iron spikes and other instruments of torture.

It looks rusty and bloodstained, which makes people shudder.

Fatis was wearing a robe, hugging his chest, looking coldly at the several Blue Star humans who were tied to wooden posts in front of him, with an unpleasant look on his face.

Beside him, two Lake Rat Gang saboteurs with ferocious smiles were holding a whip soaked in water, eagerly looking at Blue Star who was tied to a wooden post. The human being was still swinging tentatively, and it was obvious that he would slap Fatis hard if he said a word.

In the surrounding prison cells, there were even 20 smaller members of the Lake Rat Gang of saboteurs. They were holding their own woodland axes and looking at the scene in front of them with defiant expressions.

Instead of showing mercy, they all looked like they wanted to go out in person to torture these prisoners.

After all, the Lake Rat Gang family itself is a group of bad guys who came from villains and robbers.

Words like pity, pity, and empathy have nothing to do with them.

Instead, they tortured the prisoners, chastened the enemies, and took pleasure in the miserable appearance of the enemies during the punishment.

This is their best and most passionate entertainment activity!

Of course, when they saw Shen Mu walking into the prison, they all put away the expressions on their faces and stood in line respectfully.

They all saluted in unison:

"Lord Shen Mu."

"Yes." Shen Mu nodded as a response.

After looking at these miserable-looking prisoners, I had a few more ideas in mind.

Then he looked at Fatis.

"Sir, I am now interrogating these prisoners and asking for some specific information about the force called Diesel Company." Fatis immediately understood the reason why Shen Mu looked at him.

Immediately Shen Shenghui reported: "But according to the information I got, we previously defeated their attack and did not completely eliminate their armed forces."

"Well, I know." Shen Mu has the memory of his predecessor and has a deeper understanding of the diesel company.

Also know the background of Diesel Company.

Just relying on the killing of more than 1,000 pig-headed men in the headquarters and the more than 2,000 spiritual servants is indeed not enough to cause a huge and devastating blow to the diesel company's armed forces.

However, looking at these Blue Star humans who were obviously weak, there were no traces of execution on their bodies.

Shen Mu pretended to be concerned and asked, "What's wrong with them?"

"Oh, that's it. They haven't eaten or drank since they were captured yesterday. Across the water," Fatis replied.

There was no guilt in his tone.

For prisoners, this kind of two-day starvation or simple interrogation itself was commonplace.

Even if Fatis does not agree with the killing of prisoners, it is just that he does not agree with the killing.

If executed normally, Fatis would not say anything.

Since he is a prisoner, he is an enemy.

You will become a prisoner only if you have no other choice.

Only when you lose the battle will you choose to surrender.

If there is no defeat, if there is still a way, then it is definitely not a prisoner.

Even if the other party wins, then I am afraid that people like myself who have no choice will become the prisoners of the other party.

What to do at that time is a matter of two opinions.

So even if Fatis is also a knight in the good camp, at this time, he still believes that normal interrogation should exist and must be punished.

At this time, it seemed that these Blue Star humans who were tied to the wooden stakes noticed Shen Mu's arrival.

One by one they raised their heads feebly.

Because there was no food and water to replenish after the fierce battle, they were all dizzy from hunger, and their mouths were dry because they had no water to drink.

In addition, last night, while being held in a cold cell, saboteurs from the Lake Rat Gang came over from time to time and used a woodland ax to beat the fence of the single room in a playful manner, making it impossible for them to sleep well. All of them are now mentally depressed and can't even speak.

Even if he noticed that a big shot was coming, he just barely raised his neck and looked at Shen Mu in confusion.

"Bang!"

But at this moment, the saboteurs from the Lake Rat Gang nearby rushed forward and raised their necks at these people who dared to do so, as if to see clearly who was coming. The Blue Star humans all started talking loudly on the spot.

There was a crisp sound on the spot, which made these Blue Star humans even more dizzy.

A stream of red blood came out of the dry mouth.

"Woo woo...don't hit...don't hit me..."

There were even Blue Star humans who were struggling and making little pleading sounds, which was particularly pitiful.

"Don't look up!" At this time, the saboteur of the Lake Rat Gang snorted and said: "If I ask you anything, you should explain it clearly to me! Otherwise, you will know what cruelty is!"

This is already a naked threat.

This also serves as a cover for Shen Mu’s next inquiry.

After all, if someone is a bad face, then someone has to be a white face. Only in this way can we quickly break down the enemy's psychological defenses and say everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.

A very common little trick.

"I said...I said!" There were already Blue Star humans pleading there: "I will say anything!"

"That's right! We all said it!" Others were tied to a wooden log. The Blue Star human on the pile also had runny noses and tears, and kept begging for mercy: "I told you all!"

And in front of Shen Mu's eyes, the dialog box popped up again. [The current number of captives surrendered: 1/16. 】

[The current number of captives surrendered: 2/16. 】

【The current number of captives and surrenders: 3/16. 】

The effect is very significant.

And the three Blue Star human prisoners tied to wooden stakes also had a faint flash of light on their bodies.

Only Shen Mu can see it.

In this regard, it should be a symbol of psychological surrender and feedback in the system.

"Not bad."

In response to this, Shen Mu raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Looking at these miserable Blue Star humans, he also thought of the guy who was the first to stab his companions to death and surrender.

So he looked at Fatis and asked: "Where was the one who surrendered at the beginning?"

"Still in the cell." Fatis replied.

And pointed at the deepest part, where Zhang Caidong was huddled among a pile of rags, daring not to say anything.

At this time, Zhang Caidong found that Fatis was pointing at him, and even the other human soldiers who tortured him last night were looking at him.

Suddenly Zhang Caidong, who was already frightened, began to tremble again and again.

Close your eyes, your face is full of despair.

But there is nothing we can do.

He also understands.

Since you have chosen to become a prisoner, what you will encounter next is entirely up to the other party.

For example, the torture of not being given food, water, or long periods of rest.

Including more severe torture that may occur later.

That's all possible.

"Sir, this guy is quite cooperative and told everything he knows." Fatis added next to Shen Mu at this time.

The tone is satisfactory.

"Well, in that case." Shen Mu pondered for a moment and then said: "Give him food and water, and let him eat first, as a reward."

"Understood." Fatis Nod immediately.

Then he waved to the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs around him and said casually: "Give that guy something to eat."

"Yes." Immediately, the saboteurs from the Lake Rat Gang mixed the leftover wheat porridge and vegetable soup in the wooden barrel with the leftovers they had eaten in the morning, scooped it with a wooden spoon into an unwashed wooden bowl, and left. past.

"Eat." He handed it to Zhang Caidong.

"Ah...Thank you! Thank you!"

Zhang Caidong's eyes lit up at this moment, and he suddenly felt new power emerging from his body, and he quickly crawled over. , reached out to take the dirty wooden bowl, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

It contains wheat porridge and vegetable soup, which can be eaten and replenished with water.

He was so hungry and thirsty that he wanted to lick the wooden bowl into his mouth.

And this also caused the dozen or so Blue Star humans who were scattered in the surrounding cages to see this scene, and they swallowed their saliva with very little secretion, and looked in their eyes. Even more envious.

"This is a reward for you. As long as you are willing to cooperate, there will be many rewards."

At this time, Shen Mu spoke lightly, which could be regarded as a warning to the other people in the prison. The Blue Star human captive said: "And if you people are willing to choose to cooperate, I can also give you some small rewards."

"We are willing to cooperate! We are willing to cooperate!"
< br>

In the cell, the other Blue Star humans were temporary workers themselves.

I was forced by the Diesel Company to join the temporary convoy and follow the pig-headed men from the Diesel Company headquarters to attack Shen Mu's town.

So now, I have been slaughtered because of my spiritual followers.

He was also captured.

I don’t have any affection or loyalty towards the diesel company at all.

How could he still be willing to grit his teeth and not speak?

So right in front of Shen Mu, a new dialog box popped up again.

[The current number of captives surrendered: 4/16. 】

【The current number of captives surrendered: ...10/16 people. 】

The number of these captives who chose to surrender jumped to 10.

"Not bad." The corners of Shen Mu's mouth curled up slightly, but his eyes flickered slightly.

Because through the system's annotation, he had easily discovered that there were still 6 people in the cell, and there was no faint flash of light on them.

And Shen Mu's eyes were full of amusement, especially when he looked at Zhang Caidong who was still eating the food in the wooden bowl. After eating it, he was still licking the soup on it with his tongue. .

He did not see the flash of light on this guy.

What this means is that you surrender on the surface, but there is no intention of surrender at all in your heart. You are just pretending to surrender due to the situation!

"Interesting." Shen Mu stared at Zhang Caidong, and the corners of his mouth turned up brighter.

He likes this kind of rebellious guy.

"Sir, do you need to do anything?" Fatis, who was standing next to him, saw the playful smile on the corner of Shen Mu's mouth, and following Shen Mu's gaze, he also saw the man who he thought was pretty good and very cooperative. Zhang Caidong frowned subconsciously.

"Of course." Shen Mu did not reject Fatis' proposal. Instead, he lightly raised his chin and pointed at several other Blue Star humans in the cages: "And them."
< br>"I understand." There was a cold chill in Fatis's eyes at this time.

He did get it.

In Shen Mu's heart, he was a being who could perform miracles.

Now they are pointing out these 6 prisoners in such a playful way.

Can Fatis still not understand?

"Come on!" Fatis said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Beside him, the saboteurs of the Lake Rat Gang who had been ready to make a move quickly walked forward and opened the cages of the six guys without saying a word.

"You...what are you going to do?!" Zhang Caidong was still licking the wooden bowl at this time, and was very pleased with himself for pretending to surrender and pretending to cooperate.

After all, what he said is true.

The purpose is to gain trust and then run away immediately if there is a chance.

Not only escape from here, but also escape from the diesel company.

Or even escape from the streets of Balihe!

Zhang Caidong clearly knew how costly it was to kill Fu Jian, the deputy director of the transportation department of the diesel company, with his own hands.

So much so that Balihe Street cannot survive.

You must go to other streets or even hide in other districts to avoid being discovered and suffering the fiercest revenge from the diesel company.

"Everything I said is true! It's true!" But now he was carried out of the cell by the saboteurs of the Lake Rat Gang.

The other guys who had been relatively close to the Diesel Company before and who only chose to surrender on the city wall and did not use weapons to attack other official employees of the Diesel Company were all tied to wooden stakes.

This Zhang Caidong is a little anxious.

"Sir, everything I said is true!" Zhang Caidong still wanted to defend.

‘Bah! ’ But before he could finish his words, the saboteur from the Lake Rat Gang reached out and slapped him in the mouth, and he was back to the point where he couldn't say anything.

“You really talk a lot.” Fatis glanced at him at this time, and then looked at the other five Blue Star humans tied to the wooden stakes.

Looking at their sluggish and pale faces, he nodded again to the side:

“Give them some water!”

‘Wow! ’

Then the saboteurs from the Lake Rat Gang, who understood Fatis’s intentions, picked up a wooden bucket filled with water and poured it towards them.

The cold Crescent Moon Spring water immediately made the six Blue Star humans shiver.

The whole person's spirit seemed to have recovered at this moment.

"I'm willing to say it! I'm willing to do anything!" Immediately there were two Blue Star humans, crying and shouting.

The feedback also turned into a dialog box in front of Shen Mu's eyes, as well as a flash of light emerging from his body.

[The current number of captives surrendered: ...12/16 people. 】

This made the smile on Shen Mu's lips even bigger.

"Okay, let's untie them two, help them to their cells, and give them some food." Shen Mu said calmly.

At the same time, he pointed at the other captives who had surrendered and casually ordered: "Give them all food."

"Understood." The saboteurs of the Lake Rat Gang acted immediately and picked up the bowl of food. The wood full of leftovers walked over, one person threw a wooden bowl, and put the thin mixture of wheat porridge and vegetable soup in the wooden bowl to divide the meal.

These Blue Star human captives, who were already thirsty and hungry, just started eating.

Eating looks equally ugly.

Even at the end of the meal, just like Zhang Caidong just now, he licked the remaining juice in the wooden bowl with his tongue, quite embarrassed.

And it makes people laugh.

“Ha!” At least the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs who loved torturing others were all quite happy.

But here in the execution chamber, the situation is not so easy.

Following Shen Mu's look, someone from the Lake Rat Gang saboteurs next to him directly moved forward with a whip, throwing out an exploding whip in mid-air with a 'pop' sound, and smiled ferociously towards that person. 4 Blue Star humans walked away.

But when they were still 2 meters away, Shen Mu stretched out his hand to stop them.

Said in a calm tone: "I need to go to the diesel company and give me the information to open the city gate. If you are willing to do this, then I will choose to let you go. What do you think?"

Said, Shen Mu chuckled:

"I only need you to surrender to me temporarily. After the diesel company is dealt with, you will be free."

"We ..." Zhang Caidong swallowed the blood in his mouth at this time and opened his mouth to say something.

But Shen Mu interrupted him again.

“Listen to me.”

Shen Mu raised his hand, looked at Zhang Caidong and the other three Blue Star humans who were obviously shaken, and said seriously:

"You are not employees of the Diesel Company, you are just temporary workers. Why do you work for the Diesel Company? As long as you agree to my request, you will not only get a lot of food, but also the spiritual world mark fragments and the corresponding safety. Guaranteed."

After a slight pause, Shen Mu said again in a deep voice: "After all, you personally killed the commander of the Diesel Company, and the Diesel Company will not let you go."


The four people tied to the stakes looked at each other hesitantly, and they all saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

But Zhang Caidong suddenly showed a sad smile at this time: "I am willing to surrender!"

At the same time, he also looked at the other people beside him and said sternly: "That's right! Fu Jian is I killed them! But do you think you can escape the revenge of the Diesel Company? Don’t you know what they are like?”

The voice was hoarse, almost broken.

But at this moment.

In front of Shen Mu's eyes, the dialog box appeared again.

[The current number of captives surrendered: ...15/16 people. 】

【The current number of captives and surrenders: ...16/16 people. 】

【Your task has been completed. 】

【You have received a reward of 16,000 dinars. 】

[Temporary mission released - Raid Diesel Company! 】
