"Work quickly!"

"No slacking off!"

At noon, the sun was shining fiercely. This was a rare sunny day in the Black Star Castle area. The weather was extremely sultry. The earth was like an oven. The heat rising from the ground made even the scenery distorted when viewed from a distance.

Near this road, groups of refugees carried heavy objects on their backs and followed instructions to go to the designated location. Farther away, a large number of refugees were digging the land and building up floating soil like a high wall.

These refugees were forcibly recruited from nearby gathering places. As long as they were male, ranging from sixty or seventy years old to eleven or twelve years old, they were all used as coolies.

They have to work nearly eighteen hours a day, and the large amount and high-intensity work makes the refugees overwhelmed. Every day, refugees will die.

Black Star Castle doesn't care about this. The dead people are gathered together and burned with flames, which is considered disposal.

The non-commissioned officer who was supervising the refugees was wielding a long whip soaked in oil. If any refugee was slow to move, a whip would tear off a piece of his belt and flesh.

In the eyes of these officers, the refugees are even lower than pigs and sheep, so no one will be soft-hearted and no one will pity them. They just squeeze the blood and sweat of the refugees to the maximum extent until they die.

At this time, a refugee shouted: "I quit! Anyway, I will die no matter what. I would rather die now than continue to work!"

He threw away the things on his back and ran toward the outside of the construction site, yelling. A supervisor cursed, swung his whip, caught his feet, and pulled hard.

"ah--"

The refugee screamed and fell to the ground, his face covered with blood. He got up and reached out to untie his whip. The overseer rushed over and stepped on his face, trampling him to the ground.

"Bad stuff!"

The supervisor scolded: "What do you think you are? You are just a pile of rubbish. Now that I have given you work and food to eat, you should be lucky! If Mr. Beichen hadn't given you work, I'm afraid you would have to pick it up now."

Eat the roots!”

He scolded and beat the refugees at the same time.

The refugee was beaten to pieces by him and screamed in agony. Suddenly, the refugee pulled the supervisor hard and knocked the supervisor down. The refugee shouted: "We are humans, not animals, you can't do this to us!"

The refugee rushed forward fiercely, hugged the overseer, and bit him hard on the shoulder, causing the overseer to bleed. The overseer roared angrily, pulled out his dagger, and stabbed the refugee into the stomach.

The refugee screamed, unable to bite anymore, and was pushed away by the supervisor.

The supervisor got up and kicked the refugee hard: "You bitch, how dare you bite me? I won't beat you to death!"

He raised the whip and was about to pull it off.

A red chain blade flew over and wrapped around the overseer's hand. The overseer looked and saw a girl standing not far away.

With dark purple hair and red eyes, the girl's eyes were a little dazed and dazed, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

But the second lieutenant mark on her shoulder made the supervisor swallow the dirty work that came to his lips.

"What are you doing?" The girl's voice was soft, as if coming from a very far away place, with a vague smell.

The supervisor quickly said: "Sir, this bastard tried to escape and bit me."

"is that so?"

The girl nodded: "I understand, please let him go."

"But..."

"But what?"

The supervisor quickly shook his head, "It's nothing, everything is according to the commander's orders."

He snorted and glared at the refugee: "You're getting an advantage."

The refugee could hardly believe his ears. After a moment, he knelt down to the girl and said, "Thank you, sir, thank you for saving..."

Phew.

A soft sound.

The refugee's eyes widened as he watched a purple chain blade go in and out of his chest.

"Wow--"

The refugee coughed up a large mouthful of blood and fell to the ground weakly. In his gradually blurred vision was the expressionless face of the girl.

"Why..."

The last question raised was also the doubt in the supervisor's heart. He didn't understand why the second lieutenant let the other party go and then killed him.

Retract the chain blade.

The girl whispered: "If you violate the rules, you will be killed. Don't waste extra energy."

For no apparent reason, the supervisor's back felt cold, and he quickly agreed: "As ordered!"

The girl then walked away.

When passing a big tree, under the shade, someone was leaning against the trunk.

Female, in dark uniform, with a proud figure, and wearing brown glasses, she has an invisible temptation.

"I didn't realize it, but Second Lieutenant Qianhong turns out to be a good person."

The woman under the shade of the tree is smiling.

The second lieutenant named Qian Hong stopped and looked at her indifferently, his eyes always scanning her chest intentionally or unintentionally.

Then, he glanced at himself unconsciously.

Well, it can't be compared, it can't be compared...

Take your eyes back and keep walking forward.

There was a gentle breeze behind me, and there was a faint fragrance flowing in. The tall female second lieutenant wearing brown glasses had already walked over.

"I heard that Second Lieutenant Qianhong came from the wilderness?"

"Um."

"No wonder you sympathize with that refugee."

Qian Hong stopped, her eyes blank, and looked at the female companion beside her.

Hei Die spread his hands and said, "Isn't it? If you hadn't taken action, he would have had to suffer much torture before he died. So, you showed mercy to him, which moved me to the point of tears."

There was no emotion in Qian Hong's voice: "There is no point in torture. Since he has to die, let's just kill him. Am I wrong to do this?"

Hei Die narrowed his eyes slightly: "That's right, so that's what you think. I thought you sympathized with him."

Qianhong looked at the endless land: "The wilderness is a place where the weak eat the strong. The weak can only become a stepping stone for the survival of the strong. Why should I sympathize with a weak person?"

"Besides, I'm just here to assist you in your mission, don't get too close to me."

"I don't like women with bigger breasts than me."

The girl's calm tone sounded like she was talking about something insignificant, and she left behind her companion who looked surprised.

It took Blackdie a while to react, and then he said with a smile: "It turns out that you also have something to mind. It's okay, okay, you finally look like a little girl. Otherwise, I always feel like you are more like a robot."

"A level 4 hunter, the only one with a special physique in the whole fortress, a little girl from the wilderness, how can she be so lucky?"

"How jealous."

At this time, a majestic voice sounded from the earbud communication machine: "Everyone gather."

After a while, Black Die saw Qian Hong again and several other members of his team.

Among them were Colonel Lusen and a tank with many mechanical parts on it.

Colonel Lu Sen said in a deep voice: "We just received the order from the fortress. We have to step up the work here. The Storming Waves Castle and Qingtian Castle actually joined forces. This thing is very surprising. Even Beichen

Your Excellency did not expect this. Currently, Stormwater Castle has circled to our rear, captured the Gray City and the Dragonmaw Territory, and is advancing towards other important cities in the hinterland."

"Our military strength is limited and we cannot fight on two fronts at the same time. Therefore, Lord Beichen has decided to give up our rear area to the Castle of Storms, and then concentrate all our efforts to fight to the death with the Qingtian Castle under the Black Star Castle."

"But because the Castle of Storming Waves arrived so suddenly, the super-gods who were supposed to be lured from Moon Moon City to Black Star Castle now need to re-choose their route to avoid being intercepted by Castle of Storming Waves. Therefore, we must try to delay the main force of Castle Sky

The area we are in now is the only way to reach our fortress. That is why we will lay mine arrays and set up traps here. But..."

Black Die took over his words: "However, Qingtian Castle will definitely send out a reconnaissance team to detect danger in advance so that the main force can avoid it."

Lu Sen nodded heavily: "Yes, if there are no accidents, the other party's reconnaissance team may have arrived nearby. So I ask you, whether it is to induce or attack, you must lead the reconnaissance team over there away, and you cannot let them

Be aware of what we are doing here."

"The project here will probably be completed tonight, so you have to at least delay the other side's reconnaissance team until tonight."

"Understood."

Tank stood up and fist-bumped: "We're leaving now."

Lu Sen nodded and shouted: "Let's go!"

.......

The stream was gurgling, and a few small fish were flowing happily in the water. Suddenly, a pair of hands sank into the water, and the small fish swam away in shock.

The hands picked up a handful of water from the stream and poured it on a handsome young face.

Tianyang closed his eyes and felt the cool stream water flowing on his face, taking away the heat.

"It's too hot and stuffy today. I already miss our fortress."
