The next day, Owen ordered Rusha to lead the lizardmen to bring the captured mercenaries back to Frontier Town.The reason why they did not take the Lizardmen troops to the Dongsheng Fortress was because they were afraid that their sudden appearance on the streets of the Dongsheng Fortress would cause panic among the local civilians.It took a winter for Frontier Town to build up a basic trust with the Lizardmen, and the rest of the world still didn't accept the subhuman race.The new school of the church has been preaching new ideas, but it has not worked very well.The main reason is that many subhuman races who have lost their homes still have a strong grudge against humanity and are still harming innocent civilians in retaliation, which makes many people feel that peaceful coexistence between the two sides is almost impossible.As for the punishment of the mercenaries, Owen intends to put them in the mines to mine for a few years to make up for their crimes.The specific sentence of several years will have to wait for Owen to return.According to Winster, this practice seems to be called labor reform, and for this purpose, Viru needs to build a prison close to the mine area and keep the prisoners under closed management.In this way, it is only necessary to retain ten or twenty managers of the mine to supervise the work of the prisoners together with the prison guards.The work problem of the original miners is very easy to solve, and there are many employment opportunities in Bianshu Town, and the labor intensity can be easier than mining.By the way, there is also an artillery team that does not have to go to the Dongsheng Fortress.Their mission has been accomplished, and the next step is to send the artillery back on a cement ship.The rest of the soldiers, all musketeers, led nobles, knights, and peasants all the way south, and a group of them reached the north gate of the Dongsheng Fortress.Since the peasants were forcibly requisitioned to carry supplies and not voluntarily, Owen disbanded them upon arrival at the Dongsheng Fortress.As soon as they saw the captured Duke Eddie and other nobles, the guards in charge of guarding the city gate did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately opened the city gate to greet them.Entering the Dongsheng Fortress, Owen led his troops straight to the Lord's Castle.It is worthy of being the most prosperous city in the East, and the shape of its lord's castle is indeed very majestic, the tallest main tower seems to be five stories high, and all kinds of supporting facilities are available, anyway, the small castle in the border town is definitely not comparable.Only some of the soldiers with old muskets were left to guard the nobles and knights.Owen had Viscount Jarvis take Duke Eddie and join the soldiers to force their way into the lord's castle.Seeing that Duke Eddie was in the hands of the other party, the guards, servants and others in the castle did not dare to act rashly, so they could only obey Owen's order to raise their hands and surrender.A few soldiers were sent to guard the front and rear doors, while the rest of the soldiers quickly spread out, driving all the people in the castle to the central hall on the first floor.Duke Eddie's family members didn't know what was going on, and when they were rushed over by the soldiers, they kept shouting loudly, saying that they were Duke Eddie's who, and daring to treat themselves so rudely, the soldiers would definitely regret it.It wasn't until they saw the captured Duke Eddie and Owen standing aside that they realized that the Duke who had gone out to fight had been defeated and had lost completely.The castle of lords was soon taken under control, and the People's Army, under the arrangement of Viscount Javis, took over the defense of the castle.Owen was thinking about what to do with the people in the castle when a soldier hurried over."
Your Lord!
I have something important to report. ”Turning his head, Owen had an impression of the soldier, who had previously been very active in cultural training and training, and was promoted to squad leader when he reorganized the militia into the People's Army."
Huh?
Kadir, what's the matter?
”Unexpectedly, the lord remembered his name, Kadir was slightly surprised, and hurriedly put away his expression later."
Our squad found the dungeon while searching the castle, and the ...... were held in it Uh, a lot of women. ”"Women?"
Owen frowned slightly, glanced at Duke Eddie, and found that the latter's gaze was evasive, not daring to look at each other."
Yes!"
Kadir continued, "Many of the women were unclothed and had multiple scars on their bodies, and they were huddled in corners when they saw us, very scared.If I'm not mistaken, they're supposed to be nobles, well, no, duke's playthings. ”said that it was the plaything of the nobles, and it seemed that the lord was also included, and he immediately changed his words to the duke.Tut!
Owen had heard that some lustful aristocrats would lock up women as playthings, and when they were interested, they would play with both, and even invite some fellow aristocrats to play together, which was called a multi-person sport.It seems that Duke Eddie is also this kind of nobleman."
You get out of here and guard the door of the dungeon."
Owen said to Kadir.Considering that the women in the dungeon have been played with by the nobles many times, they may have a strong sense of resistance and fear towards men, and it is better to let the same sex rescue them.So, Owen looked at the women who had followed him during the operation."
Marpel, Teresa, and Fanny, I'm sorry for you."
Teresa also uses magic healing, which can heal the wounded in the dungeon."
Okay."
The three of them nodded worriedly.In addition, Owen also ordered several soldiers to search for clothes in the castle and send them to the dungeon.Mapel and the others hurried to the dungeon, and Kadir hurriedly called his teammates out.The dungeon is not dark, damp and full of stench as everyone thinks, but it is clean.Well, after all, it's a place to do that kind of thing, and Duke Eddie doesn't want to do it in a dirty place, what if he gets a strange disease?
The cells were not all of the same grade, most of them were empty, one cell was dedicated to that kind of thing, the bed was very large, and it was equipped with all kinds of strange props such as whips, and some of the innermost cells were equipped with all kinds of furniture, beds, cupboards, oil lamps, etc.The innermost cell was supposed to be where the nobles were kept, and the etiquette was well prepared.However, the duke's playthings were not treated so well, and they were all kept in empty cells.Marpel scanned the dungeon and shouted, "Rest assured, Duke Eddie has been defeated and captured alive by Lord Owen, and we are here to rescue you!"
”"Really, really?"
Seeing that the comer was also a woman, a woman in the cell plucked up the courage to step forward and grasp the guardrail with both hands.Her clothes were in tatters, barely covering a few key parts."
Are you really here to save us?""
Yes, I didn't lie to you."
Mapel walked over to the woman and drew the magic sword from her waist."
Please stand back, I'm going to force the cell door open."
The woman nodded in obligation, and Mapel raised her sword and slashed hard, severing the chains that wrapped around the door.Opening the cell door, Teresa went up and asked with concern, "Do you have any wounds on your body?"
I'm a priest and I use healing to heal my wounds. ”This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
