Low Dimensional Game

"Snapped!"

"Hurry up, the construction period is approaching. If you can't finish this month, you will all be filled into the river and sacrificed to the gods!"

"Hurry up and work for me!"

The sun was scorching hot, and a large number of slaves at the foot of the mountain were in shackles. Under the supervision and whipping of a large number of local guards, they kept digging stones and digging river channels. Thousands of slaves walked along this uncirculated river day and night. Stopping the excavation and construction, and looking into the distance, you can see more countless figures. This is a huge project that has spread to the distance.

This is a canal that has not yet been opened. It has been built since three years ago. The Crete Empire has recruited nearly 200,000 slaves from the territory. It starts to be built from the south of Crete and leads to the Red River Plain. , it is already doomed, this is a river made of blood and tears, countless slaves' lives and flesh and blood are filled into this huge project, and the road built is full of slave corpses. In the corner, it seemed that the blood and tears of these hundreds of thousands of slaves could be seen.

This can be called the largest man-made project in the human history of the Alan continent. It was carried out under the auspices of Prime Minister Tanbul. Once connected, it will connect the Nami River in the south and the Red River in the north, and pass through the territory of Crete at the same time. The three major lakes of the Crete Empire form a transportation vein like a golden channel, opening up the north-south connection of the entire Cretan Empire.

At the same time, Yancheng, which is not far from the Red River Plain, is also within the transportation network of this canal. It is the largest salt-producing area in Zhongzhou and the northern region, and it is a natural salt field.

The formation of life and daily needs require not only water, but also salt. If you trace the ancient tribal age, you will find that the migration and settlement of those tribes not only migrated along the water veins, but also migrated along the salt production areas. , Without salt, life is difficult to survive. Since ancient times, salt has been a necessity for everyone to live, and it is also a hard currency comparable to gold.

The Red River Plain has been the largest natural salt field in central China since ancient times. Beastmen and humans have waged wars and massacres again and again for this salt field. Instead of the protagonist, the earlier war, or even the war between the King of Gold Akhenaton and the Sakya Wolf King Costa, started because of this.

The establishment of the canal was partly due to the geographical location of Yancheng and the growing demand for salt in the Cretan Empire. Originally, the transportation of salt had to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, even if the Cretan Empire deliberately The salt road was built for transporting salt, but it could not meet the needs of the entire Cretan Empire. A large number of merchants who made a living by transporting salt came into being, but even so, it still could not meet the growing demand.

After tens of hundreds of years of peace, the population of the Crete Empire also experienced explosive growth. The population once exceeded 15 million, and this number was already a few years ago. However, the Crete Empire except Yancheng In addition, there is no place that can produce a large amount of salt. In order to meet the demand for salt, expand and increase the connection between the north and the south of the Cretan Empire, and the development of commerce, the Duke of Tambor issued a project to dig a canal after he came to power. .

At the same time, in order to win the consent of the people and most of the nobles in Crete, Tambor issued the bloody and inhuman "Orc Slave Act", which originally lived in the Crete Empire, and a large number of orcs and human-orc hybrids survived. Half-orcs, after the emperor and the prime minister signed the "Orc Slave Act", all became slaves.

The hundreds of thousands of orcs in the Cretan Empire changed overnight from the low status of being excluded and suppressed to slaves who were extremely harsh and had no human rights or status. A large number of orcs came from the Crete Empire All over the country, they were arrested and sent to the canal excavation project sites in various places to build canals.

Hundreds of thousands of slaves were put in ropes and shackles, day after day, digging out huge projects for the humans of the Cretan Empire that would allow them to further develop and make everyone's life happier, but no one remembered that, in this Everywhere in this project are the cries and complaints of these orc slaves.

No one has ever thought that their happy and stable life is actually based on the pain and sacrifice of a large number of people. They are intoxicated in the feasting and feasting, but they don't know that every drop of liquid in the cup is the blood of others.

Jorkins is a capable half-orc of the cat clan. Considering his age, he should be helping his mother with farm work and taking care of his younger siblings at home. In a few years, his father will help him find a beast clan of the same status. Girl, set up a family and continue to be a tenant farmer for the nobles. Although life in the Cretan Empire is hard and not easy, it is still relatively stable.

At that time, three years ago, after Temple signed the "Orc Slave Act", earth-shaking changes took place. His father was sent to build a canal with him and his younger brother, and his mother and young sister were sent to other places. Became a slave to work for the Cretan Empire.

Two years ago, Jorkins' father died because he couldn't support himself due to old age. Six months ago, Jorkins' younger brother was hit on the head by a rolling rock while digging a river channel and died. Jorkins knew that the next One will be my turn, how long will it be? half a year? a year? Or is it a day or two?

If this continues, one day he will die here, the end is already doomed, he is just a consumable, no one treats these orc slaves as human beings, and wants to change their own destiny, unless...

Jorkins immediately thought of the orc slaves who contacted him a few days ago. They were different from other orc slaves, with tall bodies, strong muscles, and tiger-like eyes. There were many such guys among them.

They are not slaves, why are they infiltrating? What the hell are they trying to do? Jorkins was sweating, feeling dizzy from tiredness, and his whole body was moving like a walking dead. At this moment, he thought of that person's words again.

"Orcs! Never be slaves!"

This sentence was like a whisper, which made Jorkins tremble involuntarily all over his body, and he roared out together, like a slogan that ignited all the flames in his heart, which made people feel passionate.

It's already late at night, but the lights on both sides of the canal are still lit up, and amidst the crowds of people, everyone is still digging the canal desperately, and the construction period is approaching. If they can't finish it on time, most of them will die being killed.

At the same time, the guards and the officials in charge of this section of the river project also have to take responsibility, so these days, these human beings desperately beat them with whips to drive them away, making them dig the river day and night. Then some orc slaves couldn't hold on anymore, corpses were exhausted or fell ill on the river project, and then they were dragged down. Regardless of whether they dragged down corpses or not, they knew that these guys would be regarded as The body was thrown out.

No one dared to speak and discuss. These construction workers and soldiers stared at them like vultures. As long as they moved slightly, they would be treated as rebellion, but Jorkins could feel a deep resentment and Anger is hidden in everyone's heart.

All it takes is a lead wire, or a little spark, to detonate this place in an instant, releasing all the anger and resentment in everyone's heart.

"Fire! Fire!"

At this moment, suddenly there was a fire in the distance, and everyone raised their heads and looked into the distance!
