ALL NOVEL Chapter 81 Burning the Village
When the village elder who coldly rejected Wang Ziming received the report from the villagers, the entire village was surrounded by an army of more than 2,000 people.
An army of more than 2,000 people is enough to attack a town, let alone surround a small village?
Elder, there are a large number of mercenaries surrounding us outside, and the flag of any country has not been unfurled, what should we do?!
A large group of village serfs surrounded the village elders. At this moment, the village elders might be their only support.
However, these village serfs had a good sense of combat, and each of them carried weapons such as short sticks, sickles and even old matchlock guns.
The few villagers with matchlock guns in their hands were not serfs, they were one of the few free people in the village, and they were also Polish militiamen who were responsible for assisting the sheriff and the village elders in managing the village.
Before the village elder could speak, there were sporadic gunshots outside, and the village elder and a group of serfs suddenly turned pale.
Sheriff, where is the Sheriff?!
It wasn't until this moment that the village elders recalled calling for the sheriff. The sheriff had mastered the village's 'highest' force, and he was a warrior of good rank.
However, what the village elders didn't know was that the first time the sheriff learned that there were a large number of enemies outside the village, he tried to escape with his belongings and weapons. Issued when killing...
Ten steps forward~~~
Stop moving forward, get ready~~~
Take aim and fire!
bang bang bang...
Under the command of the temporarily promoted team leader, a long row of senior Swedish town militiamen formed a loose platoon of guns and pressed towards the village, and then pulled the trigger at the panicked crowd with a command!
The first round of salvo was like a signal gun, detonating the sound of successive gun salvos around the village!
The Swedish pistol cavalry didn't make a move at all, just more than a thousand senior Swedish town militiamen shot and killed all the villagers who were trying to escape!
There was no communication between the two sides at all, and Wang Ziming's men shot and killed them as soon as they came up!
After the shooting, the senior Swedish town militiamen stood in place to reload, while the soldiers in the back row continued to walk ten steps forward, then stopped to aim and pull the trigger!
Although the formation was very loose and the volleys were fired at great intervals, what they were facing was not a serious army after all, but a group of Polish serfs whose reason had been eroded by fear!
Under the large-scale salvo of muskets, the villagers of this village could not organize a decent resistance at all. The people who rushed out lined up with guns, and all of them collapsed...
Soon, senior Swedish town militiamen stepped on corpses and occupied the periphery of the entire village, advancing into the densely populated area of houses!
In order to prevent their own side from being shot coldly by the villagers from the houses, the senior Swedish town militiamen changed their formation of guns and began to rush in in small groups.
At this time, the will of the entire village to resist has been shattered. When they saw a large group of mercenaries with guns rushing in, the serfs in the village did not make a second choice except to kneel and surrender...
The village elder with a pale face was surrounded by the crowd who surrendered, and the low-ranking priest stood beside the village elder with a cold expression.
Zhao Ritian swaggered and walked in after the senior Swedish town militia controlled the field with a proud face.
At this time, there were less than 100 villagers who were still alive, and they were all gathered in the square in the center of the village. This is also the place where villagers gather and pray for religious blessings on weekdays.
You are not believers of the Lord, you will definitely receive the Lord's...
boom……
Zhao Ritian blew the gunpowder smoke from the muzzle, and returned the high-quality pistol to the iron-canned Swedish pistol cavalry beside him. He glanced at the low-level priest who had a bloody hole in his forehead and fell to the ground with wide-open eyes, with a look of disdain.
I hate others preaching in my ears. Except for the great ancestor, no one is qualified to talk nonsense in front of me, Zhao Ritian!
The death of the low-ranking priest caused commotion among the villagers who surrendered. The village elder tried hard not to look at the tragic corpse, and forced himself to calm down: What do you want to do with us poor innocent villagers?
At this moment, Wang Ziming received a system prompt.
[Congratulations to the host for conquering a village under the rule of the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania. You now have the following two options.
First: You can turn all the village serfs who surrendered into your own slaves and escort them to the territory of a different space to work as coolies, but you have to bear their food consumption and prevent them from escaping at any time.
Once a slave escapes, your actions will be known to the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania, and the United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania will immediately declare war on you.
Please note that even if these Polish slaves enter the territory of a different space, they can break through the air wall of the territory of a different space and leave without hindrance.
Second: Slaughter everyone and destroy the corpses. The disappearance of this village will be blamed on criminals. The United Kingdom of Poland and Lithuania will never know that it was your hands.
Please rest assured, the host, as long as the mercenaries are still bound by the employment contract and are not owed wages, they will never reveal this village massacre battle.
No matter which one the host chooses, he can get all the wealth of the village. 】
Choosing the first option can increase some labor force, but those Polish slaves will definitely not be reconciled to thinking about escaping all day long, and they need to allocate a large number of people to manage and guard them. If there are too many people, there may even be slave riots in different space territories...
The system did not prompt for the option of assimilation. Obviously, these Poles generated in different spaces cannot be assimilated by me, and can only be used as slaves, or I have not met the basic conditions to trigger the assimilation option.
Now there are not many food reserves in the different space territory, and it is too difficult to feed a group of slaves, and the labor efficiency of those different space territories is much higher than these slaves, and they are more at ease.
Most importantly, don't worry about fleeing slaves and being suddenly declared war by the United Kingdom of Poland-Lithuania!
That being the case, let's choose the second option. Compared to a country, even a weakened country in a different space is too weak, and it is safe to cut the roots.
Following Zhao Ritian's order, the village square suddenly heard continuous gunshots. The senior Swedish town militiamen formed several horizontal rows. The first row fired and then the second row fired, forming a continuous firepower network, and the unarmed Poland in the middle was shot. All the villagers and serfs were shot and killed!
After the last Polish villager died, Wang Ziming suddenly received a reward notification sound from the system!
