C1015 He Was Captured and Used as Cannon Fodder

chapter 1015. - Captured as cannon fodder.

Zhang Xing and the other two followed the crowd to the safe zone. The guards only checked their identity tokens before leaving.

There were all kinds of people in the safe zone, and it was noisy.

Not long after, another group of fully-armed soldiers came from outside.

A person wearing a commander's uniform in front of the group spoke.

"Everyone, listen up. Protecting the country is the responsibility of every person in our empire. Right now, the Empire is facing a crisis."

"It's time for you all to serve the Empire. Now, I declare that all of you are very honored to join the Imperial army."

"Next, all of you will line up to receive your clothes and identity tokens."

As soon as the commander finished speaking, the crowd exploded.

"What?! You want us to be cannon fodder? To die?"

"No!"

" That's right, I won't do it! What does the Empire feed Soldiers for? We are taxpayers, your food and clothing parents, not scapegoats!"

"The law of the Empire doesn't stipulate this either. I object!"

"What do you Glory Fortress want to do? I am a noble, I cannot enter the battlefield!"

"I'm not a State of Sierra Leone..."

Looking at the angry crowd, the commander sneered: "Those who don't want to serve the Empire, stand to the left. Those who are willing to fight for the Empire, stand to the right."

Huala!

Before the commander could finish the second half of his sentence, most of the people stood to the left. Only a small portion of them stood to the right.

There were still a few people who hadn't moved yet.

Zhang Xing and the other two stood on the right side under his lead.

The commander was expressionless. When he saw the crowd gradually settle down, he slowly lifted the right arm and pointed at the people on the left.

"Kill them!"

Beng Beng Beng! The magic Consecutive Crossbow instantly sounded.

Around five thousand Soldiers behind him also took out the Consecutive Crossbow made of metal at the same time.

Without saying another word, he started firing at the crowd.

"Ah..."

The hundred thousand people on the left immediately let out miserable cries.

Over ten thousand people in the front row were instantly killed.

When the others saw that the situation was not good, they all ran to the right.

The faces of the people in the middle also changed greatly, running with the crowd in fear.

"Hmph! Those who refuse to accept a toast will be forced to drink a forfeit. Those who refuse to listen to orders will die now."2

"There might still be a chance of survival on the battlefield."

The commander sneered and did not continue to order the firing.

Those who stayed here were basically outsiders, or rather people without any background or abilities.

When those merchants and nobles saw that there was a war happening in the stronghold, they had long escaped on their flying mount.

Although there weren't many people left, there were still more than 300,000 of them. Rather than letting them waste food here, it was better to send them to their deaths.

After more than 10,000 people died, no one dared to make any noise anymore.

They all obediently received the shabby military uniform and an identity token that didn't represent anything.

What other identity could cannon fodder have? This was just a way for the military to comfort people.

No one discovered that there should have been a thick bloody baleful aura here, which seemed to be so dim that it could be ignored.

Of course, these people weren't paying attention to it either. Even if they were surprised, they wouldn't think too much about it.

At this moment, in the Dragon Island, the flame in Dark Knight Mo Li's eyes was jumping happily. A large number of specters were sucked into the flame and turned into his own energy.

To him, this little bit of soul was like a drop in the ocean, it wasn't enough to quench his thirst.

However, Zhang Xing had said that he would soon enjoy a sumptuous meal.

Mo Li was ready to fight at any time. He rode on the Undead Horse and held the saber in his hand. He did not move at all, like a black statue.
