Chapter 249 Open warehouse and put grain
The commander of the fortress was killed in battle, and all the elite troops were destroyed. There were only a few thousand regular troops left in the entire Sichuan Fortress, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Of course, there were also a large number of small groups with armed forces in the Sichuan Fortress, including tens of thousands of people. However, when facing the insect cavalry of the Dawn Fortress, these people had no power to fight at all and were destroyed at will.
At the same time, a large number of people who were guarding such merchants or slave owners were the first to surrender to the insect cavalry in the Dawn Fortress. The reason why these people were doing escorts was mainly to make a living. After seeing the powerful flying insects and mutant cavalry, they immediately had no idea of resisting.
They have long heard of the Dawn Fortress and Richemont, and have a deep understanding that these mutants have a deep blood hatred with those slave owners. If they are stubborn, their final consequences will be to become food for insects.
Before, there were already legends about Richmond and Dawn Fortresses throughout the Sichuan Fortress. People originally thought that those were just rumors. As soon as Xu Hao and his Sichuan Fortress army arrived, they could immediately capture those mutants. However, when Richmond and his insect cavalry appeared, everyone understood that the rumors were true! Xu Hao, such a powerful existence, and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers he led, were actually killed! You must know that it is an armored army with a large number of transformed warriors and completely armored!
For a time, in the entire Sichuan Fortress, almost no one dared to resist again except those slave owners who knew they were full of blood and debts and could not be let go, transformed people, and some soldiers who were loyal to Xu Hao.
On the contrary, many poor people living in the outer and middle areas of the Sichuan Fortress warmly welcomed the soldiers of the Dawn Fortress. According to rumors about Dawn Fortress, since it is true that they cooperate with the Zerg, it is obviously true that they can have enough food for their subordinates. For these low-level people who are struggling on the brink of death every day and can do anything for the sake of dried fruit, it is not important to cooperate with the race. What is important is to have food to eat, even if they are half full, as long as they are not starved to death!
Just half an hour later, there were only dozens of small firepower points that were still resisting in the Sichuan Fortress. Among these firepower points, there were slave owners or slave hunters with a certain reputation and status, and some were transformers officers and soldiers who stayed in the Sichuan Fortress. They had always heard of the style of the Dawn Fortress. There was no way out when they met these Dawn Party people!
The places where these people defended were usually small bunkers or shelters, which were easy to defend but difficult to attack. Most of them resisted the first wave of attacks from the insect cavalry and became a stalemate.
Richemont did not rush to help his subordinates eliminate these fortresses, but directly ordered the weapons to be sent to the mutants and original slaves who had just been rescued, so that they could join the battle. Nearly 10,000 mutant slaves who had just been liberated and tens of thousands of original slaves in the entire Sichuan Fortress were immediately obtained, and joined the battle with an excited expression.
The reason for doing this is to quickly restore confidence and integrate into the new Dawn Fortress. Moreover, this battle against enemies can slightly calm the anger and hatred in their hearts, so as not to be suppressed for too long and become psychopathic.
Sure enough, after these mutants got the weapons, they immediately began to fight wildly. Some mutants even didn't care about their injuries at all, and just wanted to tear the enemies hiding behind the fortress into pieces.
From this we can also see from the side how inhuman abuse these poor slaves have been! The life that is worse than death and is even more miserable than hell makes them almost crazy!
The final result was that all the fortresses of resistance were opened within an hour, and those who once acted as mighty and relied on their own power to treat people as pigs and dogs were even dug out by some crazy slaves and then fryed them in oil!
"The Head of State, the last stronghold has also been captured." Luo Tian reported to Richemont in the Chuancheng Fortress headquarters, which originally belonged to Xu Hao.
"Very good, hang the heads of all the resisters and transformers on the city gate, and then... open the warehouse and release grain." Richmond said expressionlessly while playing with an egg-sized diamond taken out of Xu Hao's safe.
"Yes." Luo Tian took the order and left.
When Luo Tian left, Richmond couldn't help but sigh and put the diamond on the table. This was not because he was so cruel, but because only in this way could he shock the hundreds of thousands and millions of people in the entire Sichuan Fortress as quickly as possible, so that they could understand Richmond's determination. After all, this Sichuan Fortress has been in Xu Hao's hands for so long, and it has always been a slave policy. It is indeed difficult to change people's concepts overnight.
Otherwise, if so many people are really in chaos, even if Richemont can be killed, what's the use of having an empty city? The early stages of the Apocalypse era have passed, and the entire human civilization has gradually declined. The rise of the Zerg, and the beasts and zombies are all extremely mysterious. For humans, the most humble one may be human life, and the most precious one has become population.
The policy of sticks plus carrots is always the most effective.
When the heads of slave owners and transformed people hung on the city gate, when the huge granary that could provide one million people with ten years was opened, and when the continuous stream of food was transported out of the granary and distributed to the people in the outer area who had been struggling on the verge of starvation, the entire Sichuan Fortress settled in less than an hour.
In a fortress and a society, the most numerous people are always the lowest-level people. There are nearly one million people in the entire Sichuan Fortress, of which 800,000 are all from refugees from other areas. These people struggle to survive on a little bit of rations given by Xu Hao, and almost all of them are hungry. The recent situation is ten times worse than the last time Richmond came to Sichuan Fortress.
Hungry, too hungry. So many hungry people eat directly to death after getting the amount of food they had never thought of. However, even if they were to die, the eyes of these people before their death were still filled with a happy smile...
The occurrence of this kind of thing immediately caused the mutant officers responsible for food distribution to change their strategy. Each person first distributed enough rations, and then proceeded step by step, and after people broke free from the fear of hunger, they distributed a large amount of food.
Survival is always the most important thing in the end of the world, and food represents survival. If you can survive, there will be hope. Therefore, the entire Sichuan Fortress quickly became orderly and extremely stable.
Except for the few former powerful people who lived in the inner district before, 99% of the people are satisfied with the status quo. You should know that Richemont not only brings them food, but also dignity.
Moreover, Richemont's promise to develop superpowers made everyone go crazy!
For those original people, it is impossible not to be crazy when they hear this news. The power of superpowers is too tempting! Power and food represent survival, and power is completely in the first place!
By the time of night, the atmosphere of the entire Sichuan Fortress had been completely renewed. Teams of mutant warriors patrolled the streets, and there were empty cavalry in the sky circled to guard them, and there would never be any secret murders. All criminals would be punished as soon as possible - their heads were beheaded and hung on the city gate - all of which made everyone feel safe for the first time. Many people slept this night and had their first stable sleep in the past.
However, Richmond turned a deaf ear to all this, and at this moment his eyes were completely attracted by something else.
In Xu Hao's headquarters, Richemont found a huge black human head statue several meters high in a dark room!
