Tauren Overlord

"We can't wait any longer. According to the latest intelligence, something like a portal appeared in the center of the enemy camp."

"There are probably 1000 rebels who have been let go. If this continues, they will all escape within two days."

"If we want to kill them all, we have to do it as soon as possible."

After saying what he needed to say, Valentine said goodbye to Gertulle and left the tent.

Gertuler, who remained in the tent, still tried to remain elegant instead of throwing the wine glass on the table.

He had long wanted to slaughter all the remaining old farmers in the commune, but had always failed.

Moreover, this failure happened under the surveillance of the Governor, and all the ugliness was seen.

To the extent that people in the backstage dared to praise other young people and ignored him, the real rising star.

How can this work?

Massacre! Must massacre! The old peasants in the encirclement must not be allowed to live past tomorrow!

While Gailtulle began to make the final military deployment and planned to launch the most fierce attack tomorrow, the leader outside the tent was not idle either.

They were busy torturing and killing the old peasants captured from the commune.

Strictly speaking, Gertuler's attack has already achieved great results.

The commune initially expanded from two baronies and conquered several areas, but they were all recaptured by Geltulle.

Even one of the two baronies that initially participated in the uprising was captured by Geltulle.

Thousands of defeated old farmers became the targets of slaughter by the leaders.

These tortured old farmers were tied to a large wooden stake so that they could not move.

The leaders of the empire would line up and use all kinds of sharp weapons to cut the exposed skin of the victims bit by bit.

The abuse usually starts with non-lethal areas such as the arms, buttocks and legs, but can also include direct poking of the face.

Anyway, their internal organs will not be directly punctured to prolong the victim's suffering time.

If the abuser kills the victim in a few seconds, or quickly tortures the victim to the point of losing consciousness, the abuser himself will also be punished.

Galtule told them very clearly that they must be tortured while they were conscious.

There are two purposes for doing this.

One is to use the suffering of the victims to warn all the old farmers in Taimenia, letting them know that this would be the fate they would suffer if they also betrayed the empire.

The second is to boost the morale of the leader's army.

This can help these leaders clearly realize that the old farmers who betrayed the empire are by no means invincible.

On the contrary, they can be slaughtered without any dignity.

The low morale of the leaders was also improved by the massacre launched by Geltulle.

The only problem is that they have to be careful when they are killing people, and not kill them too quickly.

Most of these old farmers who were tortured and killed were ordinary people who did not want to die.

After all, there are only a few people like Scarlett and Roman who take the initiative to rush towards this deadly land.

Most of the old peasants in the commune did not have any dreams of changing the world, and they just passively participated in the rebellion.

When they are constantly abused by the empire's leaders, they often let out endless wails and pray for the empire's forgiveness.

But the louder they shouted, and the more miserable they cried, the more pleasure the imperial troops enjoyed slaughtering them.

After all, the process of torture and killing emphasizes torture rather than killing.

Perhaps the massacre at Geltulle's hands was too brutal, and one of the victims seemed to have developed some kind of mental disorder.

He kept emphasizing to the sadistic leader that he was the lord of Wormwood Town and his name was Pierre.

He also said that any soldier who brought any nobleman to see him would have his identity recognized.

He also promised that if he could be rescued, he would give a great reward to anyone who helped him.

The victim who made these promises was indeed Pierre from Wormwood Town.

When he was well-fed and well-drained, he could use his unique skills to turn himself into a ball of gas and escape the slaughter.

But he hadn't eaten anything decent for a long time, so he naturally couldn't draw spiritual energy from the nutrients in the food, nor could he use any magic.

No matter how much he wanted to return to the leader's camp and slaughter the old farmer again, he had no chance.

He is a nobleman.

who knows?

He looks like an ordinary old farmer, with one head and two legs.

There’s no “I’m a nobleman” or anything like that written on his face, so who would believe it?

What's more, if he really is a noble, would it be a good idea to let the people above know about it?

So the leader who abused him had no mercy on him and just continued to abuse him overtime.

As for nobles like Geltulle, he was busy drinking red wine and making plans for the general attack.

After finishing my work, I still have to fuck the military maid.

Who has the time to watch how the lower-class peasants carry out the specific killing process?

145. The Governor's Vigilance and Suspicion

Following Gertulle's order, his troops set out urgently, aiming to completely encircle the commune's stronghold, which had been surrounded on three sides.

Now even a fool knows that there will be a big action tomorrow.

Countless old farmers who were being abused have managed to keep their lives temporarily. I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse?

They are just temporarily "packaged" and put away, waiting to be slaughtered next time. The longer the killing process lasts, the more pain they will suffer.

For ordinary soldiers of the Lord, they may not have a deep loyalty to the empire, but that does not mean they don't like to slaughter these old farmers.

After all, it was these people who hurt them so badly during the day, and now they can finally torture them at night, so how can they let them go so easily?

Of course I want to eat their flesh and drink their blood! But I have to kill them slowly so that they can suffer a little more.

For the lords among the rulers, old farmers who can be slaughtered are also a useful resource.

Even after the commune is destroyed, these resources can be used to train the courage of newly recruited soldiers.

Many humans have racially based feelings toward their fellow humans and tend to be soft-hearted.

Such people are the scourge in the leader's army and must be screened out early.

……

As the army set out overnight, "Projector" Valentine also returned to Edric's temporary governor's palace.

As a fourth-rank "Earl of the Coast", Edric's combat power has reached the ceiling of the Beast Suppression Province.

For such a strong man, any ordinary personal guard is meaningless.

So apart from Edric himself, the only people in the entire hall were some high-ranking servants.

Following Valentine's visit, the clever servants quietly left the room, and no one dared to pry into the Governor's secrets.

For a moment, Valentine, who just wanted to take it easy, was stared at by the Governor's calm, deep and intimidating eyes, and felt very nervous.

He took a deep breath, then followed the Governor's order and showed the old father Gertulle's reaction after seeing the battle report.

After a long while, the gloomy middle-aged man finally showed a slightly relieved smile.

It seems that under his supervision, Gertuler has finally learned to restrain himself and is not as fond of smashing cups as before.

However, his smile only lasted for a few seconds, and then he gave the next cold command:

"Go investigate Wormwood Town and find out what's going on there. Come back and give me a detailed report."

It's certainly not for nothing that Edric became the provincial governor.

Although there was no evidence, Edric, relying on his intuition, also vaguely discovered that there was something wrong with the deputy commander he personally promoted.

In theory, it is a good thing that outstanding up-and-coming talents emerge in one's own province.

But the more Edric thought about it, the more he felt that there must be a lot of water involved...

Although he has more than 30 lords under him, it is impossible for him to pay close attention to every territory under his command.

However, given the limited manpower, he still sent people to survey each territory every month.

He also knew that both the Mountains and Wormwood territories were ruled by people in the Burios family who were at best above average.

Their younger generation, whether it is William from the Mountain Territory, Gabriel from Wormwood Town, or Cecilia, are not particularly outstanding.

How come it suddenly became such big news?

Think about it from another perspective. If the Burios family had an outstanding descendant like William, he should have shown the qualities of a child prodigy long ago.

Instead of being unpopular since childhood, and then suddenly rising without any warning one day.

According to his investigation of the Burios family, William wore a bronze badge among the adventurers, probably ranking first.

But his actual performance is far more impressive than that of a normal rank one.

He is particularly good in close combat and can even fight a Tauren Overlord on equal terms.

Why didn't the Burios family keep such a promising talent in the prosperous Western Continent to develop properly?

Even if the Breos family really hopes that this up-and-coming star can carve out a name for himself in the barren East Continent, that doesn't make sense.

Because the number of troops they gave to Qunshanling was not large, only about half of that in Aicao Town, which obviously did not seem to be a key investment target.

Edric initially thought that the Burios family might have made a mistake, but I was keenly aware of this hidden talent.

But as he thought about it carefully, he felt more and more suspicious...

But no matter how suspicious it is, as the governor of the entire Beast Suppression Province, Edric cannot manage the province as he pleases.

If we really want to deal with Lu Heng, we'd better have a proper reason.

After all, the Fifth Commune had been under siege for a long time, and the leader was his own son.

He ignored Gailtule, who was the one with the biggest blame, and went to deal with Lu Heng in the rear, which made it seem that he was too indulgent towards his son.

When the empire holds him accountable, he will not have a good life.

As for how to investigate, if Gaspard, the "Reappearance of the Old Ones", was still alive, Edric would definitely let him go to the Mountains in person.

Call up the situation of Qunshanling in the past half month and take a quick look at it day by day.

He wanted to see what William had done to the territory in just half a month, and he would definitely be able to find key information that had been overlooked!

However, to his great regret, Gaspard, the affairs officer whom he had always valued, was no longer with us.

The fall of this outstanding official was directly related to William of the Mountain Territory and the sudden appearance of the Minotaur Lord.

The two mysteries were intertwined, making Edric feel more and more suspicious the more he thought about it.

As for the Tauren Overlord, he must be no simple person.

This powerful minotaur suddenly appeared in his sight in the last half month.

Judging from Gaspard's report, the mysterious minotaur's combat power may be at least at level three.

But looking at the entire Tauren tribe, there are not many of them who are at level three.

Why did such a powerful guy suddenly appear in the last half month?

Strange, so strange.

Thinking about it more carefully, Edric realized that this was not just a problem in Wormwood Town.

The group of 40 adventurers... or rather 29 adventurers, was also very strange.

They should have joined up with the troops from Artemisia Town long ago, but in fact they procrastinated for a long time.

Even the battle reports from Grand Commander Antoine were very different from those reported by his spies who had been placed among the 209 menial staff.
