Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1832: Chapter 961: Tyrant

The floating airships of Black Water City were scattered across the corners of the city, hovering over the buildings.

They were like man-eating sharks patrolling and wandering in the sky.

The elderly and weak inhabitants left in the city saw this scene and retreated home in fear.

Some took the elevator up to the rooftop and stood on the edge, cursing the airships fiercely.

On top of a skyscraper in the Ninth District, an elderly man stood hunched on the rooftop, holding a cane, cursing, ”Go back to your own continent!”

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the machine gun mouth under the airship suddenly fired, turning the old man into a mist of blood.

Loud laughter erupted from within the airship.

On the ground, some people were pulling protest banners against the airships, but the airship fired a volley, leaving corpses strewn across the street.

In the Roosevelt Kingdom’s war history, back when the West Continent was not yet covered by the Taboo Forest and civilization was still in the wasteland era, massacres were commonplace.

Later, with the inception of slavery, they began to value their population, and massacres gradually decreased.

Now, coming to an entirely foreign land and seeing the Asians in City 18 shouting at them, they watched as if looking at monkeys, with no sense of pity.

At this moment, two airships flew down from the Black Water Air Fortress, heading straight for Li’s Half Mountain Manor, landing in front of the Baopu Tower.

The hatch opened, and white soldiers chewing gum descended the steps. When they reached the ground, they casually spat the gum out and swaggered, asking, ”Where’s Li Yunshou?”

The Heartless Bronze Bell at Baopu Tower started ringing urgently and sharply.

The white soldier frowned: ”What’s that noise, go and remove it for me!”

Li Yunshou walked out from Baopu Tower: ”I’m here.”

An Asian descended from the Black Water City airship; he was the translator sent by the Roosevelt Kingdom. Looking at Li Yunshou, he asked, ”The Duke of Black Water wants me to ask you, your Li Family is urgently conscripting people, even women, are you trying to protect them?”

The Li Family’s conscription policy required all males and females over the age of 16 to join the army. In reality, the Li Family’s conscription was more outrageous, forcing mothers to take their children along, so very young boys and girls were also sent to open roads in the Southwest Mountains with the troops.

This afternoon, a whistleblower journalist exposed a photo of a 9-year-old girl carrying stones to fill a road so that the Li Family’s armored vehicles could pass.

In the photo, the young girl carried heavy stones, and the light was gone from her eyes.

Yet, the internet was already awash with condemnation of the Li Family, so this was nothing new.

However, the Duke of Black Water was well aware that the Li Family was driving all these people into the mountains only to prevent the Roosevelt Kingdom’s soldiers from arriving and wantonly humiliating and abusing the residents of City 18.

This city was now left with only some elderly, middle-aged, or disabled people.

The Asian sneered: ”Do you think those residents you conscripted will thank you? Aren’t they still spitting on you online? If you still want to play the role of a hero enduring humiliation with a heavy burden, you’d better extinguish that thought now. Since you cherish your residents so much, gather all females between 15 and 30 years old from your Li’s Half Mountain Manor and join us on the Black Water Air Fortress.”

”What kind of dream are you having,” a young man on Li’s side said, ”why don’t you bring your mother to Half Mountain Manor instead?”

Just then, they were shrouded in shadow as eight airships slowly floated over, all the main firepower guns aimed at the ground.

The translator from Black Water City sneered: ”Don’t be too impulsive; being impulsive will yield no good results. Is it only by completely breaking your spine that you’ll obediently comply and stop playing these little tricks? Or should we engrave words on your faces instead?”

In the Outer World, in 1645, Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing dynasty issued an order: ”From now on, after the announcement, within and outside the capital and in all affiliated provinces, all must shave their heads within ten days. If anyone resists, cherishing their c.q hair, or argues with crafty words, there will be no leniency. Officials must not discuss leniency for the haircutting, otherwise ’kill without mercy’. ”

This was the famous ”Haircut Order” in history.

From top officials to common people.

From then on, whether to keep one’s hair was no longer a matter of personal preference or an ethical issue but became a serious political issue.

In order to completely conquer the spirit of these lands, the Qing rulers used the haircut as a sign of submission, threatening death for defiance, with the slogan: ”Keep your head, not your hair; keep your hair, not your head.”

At the time, many people’s traditional view was ’The body, hair, and skin are received from parents’, and thus many rose in revolt, only to be ruthlessly suppressed.

Many, while watching shows set in the Qing Dynasty, easily become entranced by romantic plots, often overlooking the slaughter and humiliation that queue brought.

From that time, many people’s spines were broken, and remained so for over two hundred years.

Now the Roosevelt Kingdom wants to carve the word ’slave’ on everyone’s face. It’s not much different from that historical episode in the Outer World; it’s all about complete conquest.

Li Yunshou raised his hand to stop the young man who was speaking.

The young man shouted loudly: ”Family Head, they’re deliberately insulting us, why continue to compromise and retreat?! We can’t actually hand over our family’s women, can we?!”
