Mount and Blade

"Snap!" The soldier in charge of the overseer was not interested in knowing the bitter drama between them, and the whip came as promised and hit Green.

The rafters climbed on Green's skin like ugly blood snakes. Green gritted his teeth and endured it. The child was also frightened and hurriedly used his trembling body to carry the big stone.

"Bastard, go back to your own post!!"

The overseer's whip swung again with all his strength, and the flesh and thin clothes were torn apart, leaving blood marks.

Green's eyes were cold, and there was a flash of blood in his eyes. He stared at the overseer and continued to move the big stone.

"What...?!"

The overseer was stunned for a moment by this gaze, as if he had just been stared at by something indescribable. Driven by biological instinct... He was so frightened that he didn't move for a long time.

He must have been dazzled just now.

Green's actions to help other children were also seen by Grant's children.

Afternoon.

The children who had worked almost all day could finally stop their work and take a break.

The children gathered in groups of three or five, sitting or lying, enjoying this rare rest time. Green walked to the side silently and found a quiet corner to sit down.

"Thank you for helping me today." Green looked up and saw the child he had helped in the morning.

Green shook his head and said you're welcome. The child hesitated for a moment and then continued, "In fact, everyone is very grateful to you." Green was slightly stunned. He never thought that his behavior would be recognized in this way.

While Green was chatting with the child, the voice of the supervisor suddenly came: "The break time is over, cubs! Come to the playground in an orderly manner!!"

The children stood up one after another and gathered together again. Green took a deep breath, stood up, and came to the center of the playground with Baziso.

After everyone had gathered in the playground, the supervisor counted the number of people and began his speech: "Well, sit down, and Father Moss will explain the doctrine of the King's Hall to you."

The children sat down one after another, and Green and Baziso also sat down casually in their original positions.

A thin and old man dressed as a priest walked onto the stage. His expression was rigid and serious, and his eyes swept over every child present.

"Dear children, the doctrine of the King's Hall is the cornerstone of our faith. It teaches us to respect the gods and abide by the commandments so that we can ascend to heaven after death." Father Moss's voice was vicissitudes and powerful, echoing in the concentration camp.

Green listened quietly. He did not agree with the doctrine of the King's Hall. He just remained silent and listened to the priest's unrealistic nonsense.

After all, in the world of Sword Wind, only "demon" is real.

"Only by following the doctrine can you gain the favor of God."

"Keep the commandments and have no other gods."

"Do not make for yourself an idol. God will punish those who hate God, but will show mercy to those who love God."

"Do not take God's name in vain."

"Honor your parents, do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness..."

Father Moss talked endlessly about the commandments set by "God", instilling in those children whose three views have not yet been formed that Jodah is a place favored by "God", and only those who fight for Jodah are qualified to reach the so-called heaven on earth in the afterlife.

They are children born in a place other than "God". Only by fighting for "God" can they cleanse their sins, be born in Jodah in the afterlife, and then obey "God's" commandments and die again, and then they can reach the so-called real - "heaven".

You have to die first and then be resurrected.

You have to live according to God's will, and then die for God, to get the so-called "salvation".

Green: "..."

People are dead, is there really an afterlife?

Green only thinks that this brainwashing method is a bit ridiculous, but it is undeniable that he himself is a weird example.

However, as a person who has died, Green still wants to cherish his dog life more. What gods and demons, go to hell!

Only when you die will you really have nothing.

While Green was thinking, Father Moss finally finished his long speech, and the children looked a little tired and confused.

"It's dark, children, as the sons of people who God will not favor."

"You really should go back to your cages and pray to God to atone for your sins."

When his speech was over, the soldiers also prepared dinner; bland, bland, scarce and pitiful soup and leftovers were their dinner.

Before receiving such a bowl of soup, each child must put his hands together and kneel down like a lamb in prayer, shouting: "Thank God for the gift!!"

If anyone disobeys, he will be deprived of food, quilt, and whipped.

This ugly appearance... is really stupid! !

If you don't want to starve and freeze, you should kneel down and pray! !

After all, the so-called God will not give you food for nothing, but will whip those who don't obey.

Green silently followed the other children and perfunctorily completed the so-called prayer to the scepter symbolizing the King's Hall, and received his own dinner.

"Your prayer is not sincere enough, kid."

"May God forgive your impoliteness."

Green: "..."

Obviously, the elderly Moss could tell that someone was perfunctory.

Green and the other children squatted aside and swallowed the barely edible thick soup in a few mouthfuls. It was a bit of steaming food to warm their stomachs.

They received some hay, which was used as a mattress to keep them warm tonight; rather than a mattress...it was better to say that it was hay for feeding horses.

Back in the simple cage, Green lay in the "mattress" and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. The pain in his body had not yet eased, and tomorrow they would face hard training and labor.

Baziso also couldn't sleep in the haystack nearby, and whispered: "Green, when will this day end?"

Green was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth: "There will always be a way."

Baziso also sighed helplessly, although he also felt that Green had no way to escape, and there was a terrible curse left on his neck by Kadi.

Although he didn't see clearly what it was, the scratch on Green's right neck was real, and he knew exactly what Green looked like every time he had an attack.

He could only hope... to be alive.
