Be the savior from Frostpunk

Chapter 11 The Tyrant and the Fire

"Feeling the distortion of the world, the main mission has been changed. After the blizzard ends, 700 people will survive, allowing the population to die. Urgent mission, sacrifice: kill fresh life to bear the consequences of the death of citizens for you. Reward: Unknown."

Regardless of the system's voice, Li Jianghao rushed down the energy tower with his sword in hand.

From the entrance to the low-lying land came seven armed strangers, dragging the bodies of five hunters on sledges.Three of the five people belonging to New London had died. Their wounds were quickly frozen due to the cold, and no blood was left on the snow.

The two remaining survivors were tied to the sled and lingered on.If not treated in time, he will die soon.

"Hey, someone finally came to this unfortunate place. I've been here before, and no one arrived after squatting for three months. I was originally planning to completely dismantle the camp and bring the resources back to New Manchester. Now that someone is here, I can give the boss a report ”

Eber untied the bandage on his arm, and stuck a crowbar with a metal spike welded on the top to the ground. He glanced at the gathered people without any fear.

Workers who had been working all day took what they had and stood in front of them, glaring at these people who claimed to be from New Manchester.

"Pierre, are you alright! Adam seems to have passed out, hope he's still alive."

Everyone knew the two people who were still alive, and they hurriedly shouted to prevent the injured from losing consciousness.

Eber gave a strange laugh, clenched the crowbar and hit the fainted Adam on the head, shouting:
"What are you shouting for? The people here are as noisy as the tower here! The thick smoke a few days ago really made people worry whether the tower was blown up. When we came over, these hunters dared to attack us. It's really alive." I am getting impatient. Let me tell you clearly, we are New Manchester, the guards under Lord Tesla, in the name of New Manchester, New London belongs to us. All engineers and women must return to New Manchester with us, for the Master Sla works. The remaining workers and children must follow the instructions and prepare corresponding resources every other week. You will become slaves in New Manchester, and only those who behave well can become citizens. Now, make your choice Come on. Surrender to us, or choose to destroy!"

When Li Jianghao rushed out of the energy tower and ran here quickly, he heard Eber finished speaking.

He watched Adam, who was still alive, being knocked to death with a stick, red flashed in his mind, and the number changed to 77.

Li Jianghao's eyes became red, and the black holy sword in his hand seemed to sense something, and a faint red light surged from the sword.Unfortunately, the light was too dim and no one noticed it.

"You, how dare you kill my citizens. There are only seven of you, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out alive!" Li Jianghao roared, his voice had never been so hoarse.

Eber didn't take it seriously, and said: "Kill us, that's just right, we were sentenced to death, and Master Tesla pardoned us. After we die, the army of New Manchester will drown all the people here, no Anyone will survive. And if you surrender, at least you will survive now. After the engineer came to New Manchester, he was easy to be loved by Lord Tesla. At that time, I still have to curry favor with you."

After hearing this, Andrew couldn't help being even more angry. He was straightforward, so he said immediately:
"No one here will obey you. The laws of the empire have never stated that the camps can oppress each other. You have lost your humanity and can no longer be called human beings! My learning and morality cannot make me become like you! "

"It's hard to say, maybe some of you engineers are shaken now, ah ha ha ha!"

Eber's laughter was piercing, and the contrast was so stark against the silence of New Londoners.

Li Jianghao didn't have time to think about why New Manchester, which was on the brink of destruction in the Ark script, had something to do with Tesla, a tyrant and dictator who only appeared in the plot. Now he must solve this disaster.

The holy sword that was released from the first-order seal can use a slashing attack of the book of fire when it is in danger. This is a secret that he only figured out not long ago, and the system that should have provided detailed instructions did not mention half a word at all.

Solving these seven people is not a problem, but the problem is, what is the configuration of Manchester's army that this population calls.No matter how powerful he was, after he swung his sword, the holy sword was just a sharp enough weapon, and it couldn't hurt more people at all.

The mayor's silence obviously made the citizens of New London even more flustered. Eber obviously didn't miss the opportunity to play with people's hearts. He pointed the stick in his hand at Li Jianghao and said:
"You are Mr. Mayor appointed by the Empire. According to the information, your name is Richard Notts. Then Mr. Richard, out of respect for the Empire, I allow you to join New Manchester directly as a citizen. The price is just to give up ruling these untouchables, hand over the power to us, and do one small thing. You see, they will not die, they just need to work hard. You can become Tesla Why not be a guest of your honor?"

"Our mayor will not promise you!"

"That's right, Mr. Richard is willing to sacrifice himself to save us, he will never surrender to you villains!"

The shouts of the citizens warmed Li Jianghao's heart, at least these people are still standing with him at this moment.

Li Jianghao raised his head and said, "So, what is that little thing I want to do?"

As soon as Li Jianghao finished speaking, the excited people just now seemed to be stuck in place like a player that had pressed the stop button.

They couldn't believe that the mayor, who was willing to jump the energy tower core for them, would choose to abandon them to live?

Eber smiled even more, pointed to Pierre, the only living hunter, and said, "Just kill this guy."

"Understood, it's just killing people." Li Jianghao's face was terribly calm, and Andrew, who was standing aside, could even feel the terrible anger brewing in this human body.He always believed that Li Jianghao would not betray them, so what Li Jianghao said about killing and who he was killing was ready to come out.

Li Jianghao clenched the holy sword, and walked slowly towards Eber under the disbelieving eyes of the people, and even Engineer Andrew followed closely behind.Some women and children have begun to cry, feeling chills at the thought of their future as slaves.

After Li Jianghao approached, he did not take the crowbar handed over by Eber, but shouted:
"My people, raise your head up and take up your arms! In the name of the mayor, I order the sentence, these wolves who tortured our compatriots shall be sentenced to death!"

Under Li Jianghao's shouting, people didn't react for a while.Eber even bent down with a smile, and shouted with a fanatical expression: "It's a stupid choice, see how many of you we can kill now, after we die, Master Tesla will help us revenge!"

Six people behind him showed cruel gazes and came forward brandishing their weapons.

Li Jianghao picked up the holy sword, held something empty in his left hand, and placed it on top of the holy sword.

"After reading one book, the next book will be hit by fire!"

The deep sound was hot, and at night, the bright flames made the entire lowland so dazzling among the ice fields.
