Chapter 805.2: Cruelty
The lion-headed woman hesitated for a few seconds and finally gave up.
— Yuri, Shirley, come out.
The two lion-headed girls immediately left the room behind her. The two of them looked at Su Xiao with fear.
In this house there were two girls and a woman with a lion's head. Considering that all the men were going to join the army, it wasn't that surprising.
After a while, the lion-headed woman brought a basin of hot water and carefully placed it on the wooden table in front of Su Xiao.
Su Xiao took out a towel and began to wipe the bloodstains and dirt from his body.
Very quickly, the basin of clean hot water became filled with a black and red liquid, and Su Xiao motioned for the lion-headed woman to change the water.
A few minutes later, Su Xiao felt much better.
As soon as he leaned back in the wooden chair, he began to feel very sleepy, even though his hair was still dripping slowly with water.
— Don't come within five meters of me, " Su Xiao said, and placed the Dragon Flash on the wooden table in front of him so that he could react to the enemy's attack at any given time.
— To you... Need some food? If you don't hurt us, we won't do anything stupid.
— Thank you, but no.
Su Xiao only wanted to rest now.
On the first floor, the sound of erratic footsteps suddenly rang out. Several warriors entered the house, talking loudly and laughing. They were very noisy.
When the housewives of this house heard the noisy conversations and merry laughter on the first floor, their faces started to turn pale.
Soon, men with mud-smeared faces burst into the second floor. Their eyes lit up when they saw the three lion-headed girls, but when they saw Su Xiao sleeping at the table, the two men in the group shook their heads and, clearly disappointed, turned around and dragged the rest of their group down.
— He beat us to it, so let's look elsewhere. This guy looks pretty young, so I think he's more than enough for the three of them~...
They quickly left the house, talking and laughing, and the house eventually became quiet again.
They were all warriors of the same army, and they were all only able to survive this battle for the fortress by luck. Starting a conflict over women at this point in time was a very stupid idea.
After they left, the lion-headed girls knelt down and wept silently, and their mother's face didn't even change.
Such a fate awaited all civilians whose city passed into the hands of the enemy. And this family's situation wasn't really that bad, at least they wouldn't starve to death if anything happened. As for the other residents of this city, most of whom did not have such houses and supplies, they would either starve to death or freeze to death.
Even in normal times, the majority of the Tribal Alliance's population didn't have the ability to get enough food, much less the population that was in the enemy-occupied city.
Their already complicated lives have become even more complicated.
The Imperial army, after successfully occupying the city of the Tribal Alliance, began to celebrate.
As night fell, bonfires were lit in the streets of the city. Around the bonfires, the Empire's warriors hugged orcs of various races and laughed happily. They were all really enjoying this moment. Each warrior was well aware that one day he could die, and many were aware that today they could not become, which is why they tried to remember every moment.
After all, a barrel of green phosphorus could fall on their heads tomorrow, or a shell of shrapnel could explode nearby. In both cases the chance of survival was almost zero.
*Doo-oo-oo-oo~*
Suddenly, an emergency call went through the city.
Su Xiao's eyes immediately popped open, even though he was asleep just a second ago. In fact, his sleep was very shallow, as he had to be constantly on the lookout for a random bomb or a barrel of phosphorus to land on his head in the end.
Su Xiao quickly put on a windbreaker shirt and walked down the stairs. The three lion-headed orcs watched him go without much emotion in their eyes.
Under normal circumstances, they would have been captured and sold as slaves, but there wasn't much food in the Black Earth Plain Fortress right now, plus the fortress still needed to be repaired, so there was simply no time to capture them and sell them again.
Moreover, the legion commander Carlos had one unique feature. He only captured Union warriors and never captured Union women, at least he didn't capture them for further sale, and this rule didn't work just for him — his entire legion had to follow this rule without exception.
In fact, the best choice in this case was to destroy this city together with its inhabitants, but if they carry out a massacre here, then they will have to destroy all the corpses without fail, otherwise the plague will break out. Of course, this was not a big deal, because this was the city of the Tribal Alliance, but not far from this city was the fortress of the Black Earth Plain, and if a plague broke out here, it would most likely eventually spread to the fortress.
Of course, even if they leave this city, a lot of things won't be the same again. With the number of women in this city, it wouldn't take long for the Tribal Alliance to get a new wave of men, enough to form a pair of armies.
Because of this, many soldiers of the empire took measures, very inhumane measures. Although the women in this city won't die after this, but many of them will never be able to give birth again.
Such inhumane measures were taken by the soldiers of the empire after they "rested" with the inhabitants of this city. Many of them with their knives pierced the wombs of the inhabitants of this city.
The war made everyone cruel. The longer the war went on, the more people died, and sooner or later, as a result of wars, entire races could disappear. In fact, this world was no exception — the centaur race and a dozen others had disappeared in this world.
The Empire's warriors gathered in just a few dozen minutes. The remnants of the Union army in the surrounding area had been successfully finished off, so they all had to return to the Black Earth Plain Fortress as soon as possible.
Su Xiao joined the ranks of the imperial army and soon they moved back to the fortress.
The situation at the moment was very good. The fortress had been recaptured by the empire, so now he only had to take care of the core of the world.
But first, Su Xiao would have to buy a sacred oak branch as soon as possible.
