    No wonder the elf wizard didn't directly state this demand. The lives of nearly ten thousand people are indeed a problem that tortures people's hearts.  The severity of doing this is no less than refining a poison like Disaster Water, or even worse.  When refining the water of disaster, it poisons the enemy's people, but when these sacrifices are offered, the people who are sacrificed are our own people.  The situation is urgent, and it is definitely too late to arrest foreigners temporarily and serve as victims.  Everyone looked at Croft with different expressions, waiting for the dwarf king's decision.  Croft¡¯s own eyes fell on the elf wizard. His eyes changed uncertainly, but soon swept away all confusion and became as firm as a star.  "Chief of Public Security, tell me how many prisoners are in custody in the Imperial City and the surrounding areas. The so-called surrounding areas refer to the area that starts from the Imperial City and can travel back and forth in one day." Croft asked.  The Chief of Public Security is responsible for the security of the country. Guards, prisons, prisoners, etc. are all under his management.  The official swallowed, thought for a moment, and then said: "There are probably more than a thousand people in total." "Just that few people?" For the first time in his life, Croft disliked the small number of prisoners.  "Ahem, Your Majesty, the security in our country is still very good, and you are talking about the area near the imperial city, the security is even better." "If we include 'potential criminals', how many criminals can we get?" Everyone knows it.  It was clear that the king was trying to find a way to gather 10,000 victims.  Since there are not enough prisoners, we can only expand the scope and methods of collecting victims.  Potential criminals are people who have committed crimes.  Ruffians on the streets, beggars begging along the streets, or civilians who wouldn't matter if they were caught.  Like these people.  You can arrest as many as you want, but considering that this is the Imperial City area, the chief security officer finally said a conservative number: "Your Majesty, counting prisoners and potential prisoners, I can provide you with five thousand people. If there are more  If so I'm afraid the impact will be too great, and it may even trigger a riot that is difficult to suppress. Do you want to tell them the real purpose of arresting them? Just use your brain and say that you will arrest them and send them to the army.  , and then take them to a secret place or an uninhabited place. There will be no disturbance in a short time." Croft cursed.  "Your Majesty is wise," the chief security officer said awkwardly.  There are now five thousand people, but there is still a gap of another five thousand people.  Croft frowned and thought, then quickly noticed and looked at another dwarf officer.  Asked: "Commander of the Army. There are about 6,000 residents in Bingshan Town near the Imperial City. The town is relatively isolated and very poor. I order you to arrest everyone in the town on charges of rebellion. In this way,  There are more than 10,000 of us." "Yes, Your Majesty." The dwarf officer nodded in agreement without any hesitation.  It was this absolute obedience that got him to where he is today.  These more than 10,000 people have different identities and different experiences.  People with different personalities don't know that their fate has been decided by a group of people in power.  At a time of great power competition.  The people have never had the right to decide their destiny and can only be at the mercy of others. This was the case before and it will be the same this time.  "Srip, I've gathered enough ten thousand people for you, and it's up to you next. I hope you won't let me down." Croft looked at the elf wizard and spoke earnestly.  "Dear Your Majesty the King, my strength is not enough to withstand the impact of using this forbidden technique. After using the forbidden technique, my body will be annihilated by ashes. This is what I will do for you.  The last thing. Our family has served you for generations, including me. This is the honor of our family. Although I am a wizard, I will die.  I believe that my loyalty is no less than that of the knights who are loyal to you. Here, please let me kneel to you again and show my courtesy as a king and a minister." At this point, the elf wizard knelt down and faced Crow.  Ford kowtowed.  After hearing these words, Croft was greatly moved, and quickly helped the elf wizard up, and assured the elf wizard that if the matter could succeed, he would let his son marry a woman from the elf wizard family, so that  The two families became in-laws.  People all have two sides. In order to perform forbidden arts, elf wizards will sacrifice tens of thousands of lives. This is a cruel and ruthless side.  On the contrary, he devoted everything he had to serving the king, which was another part of his loyalty.  Two different personalities form a contradictory individual.  This meeting in the mirage is over. Everything decided in the meeting will affect the future destiny of this country.  ¡­¡­That day, the Imperial City of the Ancient White Bear Kingdom.  The chief security officer of the White Bear Ancient Kingdom is strictly executing the orders given by the king and letting his subordinatesThe soldiers and jailers gathered the prisoners in the prison together and escorted them to a valley near the imperial city.  This is the place designated by the king, and more than 10,000 victims of the forbidden magic will be sent there.  The prisoners in the imperial city were the first to be gathered and sent out in a mighty manner. The reason was the same as what had been discussed in advance, which was to let them temporarily join the army.  For these prisoners, joining the army is better than going to jail, and most of them are very willing, especially those with serious crimes.  The chief security officer rode a tall horse and personally escorted these prisoners. He held the reins and glanced at the group of prisoners. He found that the prisoners were of different ages, the old ones were white-haired, and the younger ones were only in their teens.  For a moment, he thought of locking up the younger prisoners, but it was only for a moment.  After a vigorous and resolute forced escort, all the prisoners in the imperial city and surrounding areas were sent to the designated valley.  A large number of troops have already been stationed there, and the guards are quite tight.  When a prisoner enters the valley, it is equivalent to entering a large prison, except that the scenery is better.  Some prisoners still didn't understand why they were sent here. A young prisoner bravely asked: "Why did you bring us to a place like this?" The chief security officer glanced at the young prisoner and sighed silently in his heart.  , replied: "You will be forced to join the army and contribute to the peace of the country. I hope you can succeed. This will become the greatest honor of your life. Maybe your names will not be engraved on the monument.  , will not be remembered by the world, but at least I remember youI will always remember you." After sending most of the prisoners away, the chief security officer knew that a bigger problem was coming, and it was obvious to arrest the "potential prisoners."  More difficult than transporting real prisoners.  But no matter how difficult it is, you have to face it. As long as you can win, the effort will be worth it.  Weighing the importance, this is a very simple multiple choice question.  When making a choice from the perspective of the country, the party with less weight often has to make sacrifices for the party with more weight.  The chief security officer is already used to things like this, but this time the sacrifice is bigger.  ¡­ On the other hand, the ancient White Bear Country, Bingshan Town.  The army commander brought an elite unit to this small town surrounded by cold wind and white snow. He divided the unit into two parts, one part followed him into the small town, and the other part quietly surrounded the town.  It's daytime now, but invisible darkness has enveloped the town.  The mayor of the small town led his people to meet the army commander. Despite the huge difference in their identities, their relationship was extraordinary.  The mayor of the small town had learned combat skills from the commander, and they were classmates.  After completing his studies, the commander rose through the ranks due to his strong strength, while the mayor's career did not improve much.  "Old classmate, what brought you here?" the mayor asked with a smile.  "It was a bad wind that brought me here." The commander forced a smile, got off his horse, and walked side by side with his former classmates and friends.  The mayor invited the commander to the town hall to have a detailed discussion there.  There was a fire in the fireplace, which was very warm.  The mayor made a cup of hot tea for the commander and handed the tea to the commander.  It¡¯s a pity that the commander didn¡¯t come here just to drink tea.  "Old classmate, I have a question for you." The commander put the tea cup on the table, took two steps forward, and came to the mayor.  "We have been friends for so many years. If you have any questions, just ask." The mayor said with a smile.  "Who do you think is more important than you or the current King?" the commander asked in a low voice.  "This" The mayor was stunned. He didn't expect that his classmates would ask such a question. Faced with this kind of question, of course it was impossible to say that he was more important than the king.  After a brief moment of astonishment, he replied, "Of course the king is more important." "Very good, that's what I want from you." As soon as the commander finished speaking, he drew out his sword at lightning speed and fiercely  It stabbed the mayor hard into the forehead.  The mayor was killed in an instant, a clean death, which spared him some suffering. It was a parting gift from the commander to his former friend.  The mayor didn¡¯t even say a word, he fell down with his eyes wide open, his expression was extremely ferocious.  He would never have thought that today would be the day he died.  The commander¡¯s mouth moved slightly, and he didn¡¯t know what he said to the corpse.  Everyone in the town hall was shocked. The sudden death of the mayor caused a small commotion.  The men brought by the commander immediately drew their weapons and took control of the situation.  "Zhukaf was involved in danger and rebelled. I came here with the king's order to put him to death on the spot. All the people in Bingshan Town may be Zhukaf's accomplices. You must go back with me to investigate. If anyone dares to resist  "Si ?He raised the blood-stained sword in his hand and uttered a cold word, "Kill!" Everyone working in the town hall was dumbfounded. Someone immediately spoke for the dead Zhukaf, thinking that Zhukaf could not rebel.  , there is no basis for rebellion in a small town like Bingshan Town.  The man who tried to speak for Zhukaf soon became the second soul killed by the sword.  But anyone who dared to resist was killed by the commander. The shocking corpses dispelled people's thoughts of resisting.  Thousands of residents in the town chose to obey and were taken away by the commander and brought to the valley that was about to become a hell on earth.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
