Chapter 134 The Singing Voice Reappears
The people arranged by Old Cherry have arrived. Most of the stewards in charge of distributing food are seeing Lind for the first time. The oppressive feeling created by his golden armor and tall stature under the sun makes their hearts feel like they are being hit by a heavy hammer, and they can't help but bend over.

With the aura coming from two superiors, a great knight, and noble blood, as well as the exquisite and excellent golden dragonhide plate armor on his body, he made people's hearts beat fast just by standing there.

The level of life is different.

"Who can tell me?" Lind asked, and even the sound of iron forging around him became much quieter.

The blacksmiths pricked up their ears.

This was a public inquiry, but to everyone it looked more like a trial.

"When I provide enough food, enough safe shelter, enough warm clothes, you are still breaking my rules. You who are responsible for distributing food should know who did what."

No one spoke, everyone kept their heads down.

"Han" Lind was too lazy to waste any more words.

"Yes!" Han held the hammer.

The 'hammer man' is extremely skilled at smashing the unfortunate person's head with a hammer, and then watching the blood flow down the neck.

Executions were common in the army, especially in the Second Corps.

In the First Legion, a noble becoming a deserter was just a laughing stock, but in the Second Legion, becoming a deserter meant death.

When the burly man, sweating all over, approached with a hammer in his hand, several of the junior managers were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground, but even so, no one spoke.

Fortunately, the man just stood there waiting for Lind's order and did not take any action on his own.

Maybe just to scare themselves? They thought so.

"All those present here will have their management status revoked, and their relatives, friends, and anyone who has had any contact with them will be arrested."

There is only one possibility for harboring a criminal, and that is complicity in interests.

Linde doesn't have enough time to be a wise lord, and the world's background also determines that ordinary people will always be at the bottom.

"Start from the beginning and interrogate everyone. I don't care if they took advantage of a piece of bread or something else. Kill whoever you catch."

I normally turn a blind eye to people taking advantage of others, but if you think this is your due, then no matter how much you eat, you'll all have to pay with your lives.

"Yes!" Han nodded, and the soldiers who had been guarding nearby took the initiative to follow Han.

Linde looked at the young stewards. No matter whether they still had any family affection in their hearts, they should be afraid now. As long as they got a little information from their relatives, their fate would be doomed.

The small stewards were tough-talking, but they couldn't guarantee that others would be tough-talking as well.

"Of course, we have a reporting system." Linde changed the subject: "I know some of you may have violated the rules, but it doesn't matter. I can give you a chance. Now line up in front of me one by one and tell me quietly what you have done and who else you know has done it. The first 10 people who are the most honest will be exempt from all punishment."

Linde, who is in charge of absolute power and food, directly displayed a crushing attitude when facing these small managers who were full of petty calculations.

He didn't have the energy to investigate slowly.

The next step was easy. With so many people reporting to the authorities, there was no need for Lind to interrogate them.

Just like those hidden rats that old Cherry had been unable to do anything about, they are now being pulled out one by one.

Garment factory.
A bald man was dozing off. Piecework was not hard for him, and his rough carrot fingers always got the first place in piecework in delicate work.

As for the trick... just sleep for a while, and then grab the results from others when you get off work and hand them in.

The people around him dared to be angry but not to speak out, because he was not alone. This group of people were closely connected and helped each other. If one of them was provoked, others would swarm in to retaliate, so most people chose to swallow their anger.

"Wheel? Who's the wheel?" came the shout.

The bald man who was dozing off was startled awake, and his face changed when he found that it was a soldier approaching. He glared at the people around him fiercely, knowing that someone must have reported him again.

But the soldier is a symbol of absolute power, far superior to the little stick, and the few little stick friends he knows are of no help.

After this incident, he was sure that someone would suffer. "My Lord, it is me!" Che Lu stood up obediently, with a smile on his face.

"Yeah," the soldier nodded, walked to the front of the wheel, suddenly grabbed the man's collar, and tripped him to the ground.

The wheel was not stable and the dog's head hit the ground. When he wanted to look up in panic and anger, he heard a "clang" sound of a sharp blade being drawn out of its sheath.

The soldier raised the sword in his hand high and slashed down.

Heads fell to the ground.

Everything happens in an instant.

"Ah——!" Some people around couldn't help but exclaim, but more people looked excited.

The faces of the hidden accomplices of the wheel changed. They never expected this to happen.

But no one dared to question it, because everyone knew that the soldiers never managed the operation of Prey Town. They were responsible for defense and did not interfere with the little stickmen in Prey Town. They represented the lord.

Now that they were taking action, the little sticks just wanted to shrink their necks and hide in the distance. It was not until the soldiers wiped their swords and turned away that the little sticks came over, carried the bodies away, and then cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground.

From beginning to end, no one dared to speak.

The air was so quiet that only the sound of breathing could be heard.

This was a quick sweep of the ratmen in Prey Town, which took only the time to finish a glass of beer.

A total of 31 rat people were executed, including 12 leaders who colluded with each other, 8 guards involved, and 11 small rat people who tipped off the gang.

Reporting, tracking, and revenge are almost always done by the little mouse people.

Their interests are intertwined, so whether they are the leaders or the accomplices, their fate will be the same.

The lord does not want to waste time on this.

Soldiers have too high a status, so they must never be given the right to manage those below them, otherwise there will only be more oppression.

The steward camp has also been updated, and an announcement has been posted to everyone, stating that anyone who reports and the report is confirmed to be true will receive a reward.

However, only a few people came forward to report the incident, which also shows that the rat people hiding in the dark have not yet been eliminated.

"If Serin really couldn't handle it, she could have done it with just a gold badge punch-in function."

For ordinary NPCs, it's not worth it.

The only thing they could do was to send more people to strengthen management, since people were worthless anyway. At the same time, Lind was also sure that Old Cherry did not have the talent to be the mayor, so it was time to change him.

Lind will rest in Prey Town for a day, waiting for the blacksmiths to make the harness for the disaster warhorse he rides.

With the news of Lind's quick execution during the day, the entire town of Prey became very quiet at night.

But soon the silence of the night was broken by panicked sounds.

The man who came was Lance's subordinate, a great knight. He first rushed to Star Dragon Outpost. After learning that Lind had come to Prey Town, he rushed here while taking a potion.

"Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry." Linde put on his clothes, pulled over a chair, and motioned the other party to sit down.

"When our people walked near the ghost claw tree, they suddenly heard a strange song," the knight said with horror, "then we walked uncontrollably towards the direction of the sound. In the end, only I escaped. They all died!"

He had encountered the singing voice twice. The first time was when he went to the Mad Sage Village with the undead, and the second time was when he formed a team to encircle and suppress the upper-level black knights.

However, thanks to the great knight's mental resistance, he managed to escape.

"What do you see?"

"A lake and a woman's figure, very blurry."
