Chapter 500: Life Lies in Self-Improvement
The Dead Giant, named Wendolfi, was once the leader of a lizardmen's lair and is now a mid-level leader under Leonardo.
Among the giants, Wen Duofei is a respected warrior, a strong man, and there are more than fifty halflings under him to serve him, and his status is very noble.
But in the eyes of the halfling, this Wen Duofei is a complete tyrant!
He often punched and kicked his halfling minions, killing an average of one halfling every ten days. And in the past month, there has been a sensational rumor that this Wen Duofei secretly likes to eat the meat of halfling children.
Leonardo had heard these rumors, but this Vendolfi had done a good job on the surface, and there were no other evil deeds other than beating the halfling slaves, so he turned a blind eye to the affairs of this warrior.
After all, the life of a halfling is despised in the eyes of the leader of this giant.
Unexpectedly, Wen Duofei died, his throat was cut in his sleep, and his body was engraved with a line of words with a strange sharp weapon: 'Tyrant! Man-eating demons! Killer: Brotherhood of Liberty
This act is really rampant, a giant warrior actually died in bed like this, it is simply a declaration of war on the giant clan.
Leonardo was now feeling a headache.
In the hall of his giant wooden palace stood a dozen giant warriors, they were all once the leaders of the lair, and these leaders came together to ask for an explanation, what should be done about this!
"Half of the people in Wen Dofei's family are suspicious. Almost every halfling had been beaten by him, and they all had a grudge against Ventofey, and the title of tyrant was passed down from them. These halflings are damned! A warrior roared.
"Yes. Kill all these minions. A lesson for the other halflings! ”
"And that damn Brotherhood of Freedom. The reptiles actually made an underground tissue. It's horrible. If this brotherhood is not eradicated, it will not be easy to sleep at night! ”
These warriors are not sympathetic to Wen Duofei, but more just sad about the death of rabbits and foxes.
Wen Dofi can be killed, and so can they. Although they were not as excessive as Wen Duofei, they were not good to halfling slaves, and they all felt a chill in their necks at this time.
The consequence of a chill in the neck is not fear, but an insulting anger, and they are giants. With one hand, you can twist the little body of a halfling into a twist, how can you be afraid of these little things.
They want revenge!
Leonardo listened to the warriors talk word by word, only to feel his ears ringing, his forehead jumping to the ground, and he had a great headache.
As the leader, he saw it more clearly, he knew that if this continued, the situation would likely get out of control and even turn into a slaughtering war.
The area of the Holy Land was large enough, large enough for most giants to let their guard down. But Leonardo knew that now was not the time for civil strife. He must control these warriors!
When the scene was quiet, he pressed his hand: "Listen to me, the murderer must be traced, and after he is found, he must be killed, there is no doubt about it!" ”
"Big Leader LinkedIn!"
"Yes, that's the way to go, to give those halflings a taste of our wrath!"
Leonardo shouted, "Listen to me! Damn it! ”
The warriors were silent, but their eyes still flashed with rage, a hatred and contempt for the halfling, a flame that made Leonardo's heart tremble.
He suddenly realized that his authority did not seem to be so reliable, and if he stopped this flame from erupting, the consequences would be unimaginable, and his tone softened a lot.
"But speculation is not a good thing. We are all children of the Goddess of Life, and we all believe in the Goddess. The murderer pays for his life, but it must be investigated! Those slaves of the Wendofei family must be interrogated well, but they must not be killed indiscriminately, understand? ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately led to an even louder uproar.
"Great Chief, why are you doing this? These damn little things are all over the place, what's wrong with killing a few? "There are warriors who are dissatisfied.
"When I'm outside, I play every day. It's not going to work here, it's a strange thing! ”
"Big leader, I'll try them, I can guarantee that every one of them is suspicious!" The implication of this is that the slaves must die.
Leonardo only felt a splitting headache, he was only the leader of a large lair before, he had never seen such a complicated situation, and he couldn't think of any good way at this time.
After feeling the crisis of status, he no longer dared to stop the anger of this giant warrior, he simply shrank back and let go.
He said to the warrior who had volunteered before: "Okay, Grian, you go and interrogate, you must dig up this Brotherhood of Freedom by the roots!" ”
"Yes, Grand Chief!" The giant warrior who was called Grian's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, and turned out of the hall, and behind him, a dozen warriors followed.
A day later, news reached Leonardo's giant wooden palace that all the slaves of Wendofi's family had been killed and their bodies hung on the walls of Leonardo's tower to dry. The giant warriors began to search around the city, and when they encountered a halfling who resisted, as long as they were slightly in the way, they would immediately kill them.
The city of Leonardo was plunged into blood for a moment, and Leonardo, as the great leader, covered his forehead and sighed deeply.
He wanted to control it, but he saw hatred and contempt for the halfling in the eyes of his warriors, and he knew that if he forcibly controlled it, he might not be able to be the big leader.
It's just that if it goes on like this, I don't know what will happen
Holy City Sigfoss
There are not many giants in this city, no more than 1,000, and halflings account for the vast majority, more than 80,000 people. When the tragedy of Leonardota reached the Holy City, tens of thousands of halflings flocked to the Temple of Life, asking the Temple to save the halflings from suffering and violence.
The halfling was thin and weak, had no strength, and now it seemed that these little things were of no use except for the large number of people.
Oh, and maybe some blacksmith shops for making iron, and some workshops. But these are small clevernesses. At least in the eyes of giants. It's just inconsequential cleverness.
But the halfling's request was not answered by the Temple of Life, and the god made Eren appear, and she only said one word: "Let the mortal world return to the mortal world, and all the sins and nobilities of the mortal world will be finally judged in the heavenly kingdom of the goddess." ”
This is an oracle.
After the oracle was issued, the Temple of Life never showed any attitude again, only the sacrifice was calming the emotions and promising the judgment of the heavens, but the killing that took place in the Holy Land. But there was no interference.
The halflings were dissatisfied, but the guardian of the temple, the huge moonlight silver dragon, kept the halflings from acting rashly.
Wendolfi's death was a trigger that ignited the flames that had accumulated between the halflings and the giants. The halflings hated the enslavement of the giants, but the giants were dissatisfied with the uncountable number of halflings, and the sheer number of these little creatures made the giants feel threatened.
The powder keg exploded.
The holy cities of Sigvos, Leonardo Tower, and the surrounding small towns have all been greatly affected, and the smell of blood in the originally peaceful and comfortable holy places has begun to spread
There is an ordinary wooden house on the edge of the holy city.
In the wooden house sat a circle of halflings, five of them.
Compared to the excitement of ordinary halflings, these halflings had solemn faces. The clothes he wore were not ordinary simple cloth robes, but armor made of animal skins. They still had weapons on them, and they were still iron weapons, with swords and daggers.
In the dim light, the voices of the five people rang out together: "For freedom!" For the brothers! ”
It was the slogan, the slogan of the Brotherhood of Freedom, and after it had been shouted, silence fell into the cabin again.
After a long while, a hoarse voice sounded: "It seems that the goddess will not interfere in the killing of the mortal world. ”
"This was foreshadowed. It is said in the holy book of life: natural selection, survival of the fittest. The holy scriptures also say: Life exists in the world, and it should be self-reliant. We are the people of the goddess, and the giant clan is also the people of the goddess, and the future of our clan can only be fought for by our own clan! The face of the halfling who said this was hidden in the darkness, and there was a hint of anger in his voice, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the goddess.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a deep voice rang out: "Gogolo, the goddess has saved us, do not resent God!" ”
"But, Chief!" The halfling, known as Gogollo, argued.
But the halfling, who had become the leader, accentuated his tone: "I ask you, where did you get the sword in your hand?" Where did you get your iron-clad armor? ”
"In exchange for blacksmiths and tanneries."
"There were no blacksmiths or tanners, but they were all taught by the saints. And where does this knowledge come from? Well? ”
"It was taught by the goddess."
A deep voice began to tell what he had seen: "Yes, it was taught by the goddess. Brothers, God has given us the greatest grace, and God has delivered the sharpest weapon in the world into our hands. I have heard that the saints, under the guidance of the oracles, have made a terrible weapon. I've also heard. The Saints have slain the Abyssal Behemoths with their crafted weapons. And these saints are all our people! ”
The crowd was silent.
"Do not resent God, Gogolo, as you said, we and the giants are her people, and she cannot help us openly. But God has given us great grace, and She has given us weapons to defeat our opponents! The goddess said: Be self-reliant! This is a mother's teaching. Do you wish you were an infant forever? As soon as you are bullied, you go to your mother to cry your nose? What is the purpose of our brotherhood? Tell me, Gogolo! ”
"Let our people become the strong ones who control their destiny!" Gogolo stood up and replied.
"Yes, the strong! We want to be strong! No one can help us, we can only rely on ourselves! ”
"Yes, Chief, we see." The other four halflings all stood up and spoke seriously.
"Good. Now, let's see how we can teach those giants a new lesson. Remember, this is a race war, there is no room for retreat, there are only two endings. One, we were cast out of the Holy Land or slain by the giants; Two, we drive the giants out! How it ends is up to our own efforts! (To be continued......)
