The Almighty Ring

After receiving the King’s order, Aldo followed Jiang Fei’s instructions and did not rush to pass the order down. He deliberately delayed for two days until the third day, when the slaves arrived at Mala, only then did he pass the order down.

This way, when the slaves learned of this order, they would not be able to reach Mala on time, even if they risked their lives!

Not only that, Aldo had also followed Jiang Fei’s instructions and removed himself completely. From the beginning to the end, he did not mention a single word about himself. He had even secretly spread the news, he said that the decree was issued by a few favored imperial concubines who trusted the emperor. Prime Minister Aldo had written many times to advise against it. However, the new imperial concubines in the old emperor’s new harem did not listen to Aldo’s opinion, instead, they continued to issue the decree.

One had to know that the news spread much faster than the law. Before the decree of “Execution by default”had reached the lower-level officials, everyone in Marla knew that Aldo had stopped the emperor from giving the order, however, nothing had succeeded.

“Well done!”After listening to Aldo’s excited narration, Jiang Fei was overjoyed.

“What are we going to do next?”Aldo was also very excited. After all, the temptation of the Emperor’s dragon throne had already captivated him.

“Next, you will continue to build momentum in Marla. Leave the rest to us!”Jiang Fei smiled and prepared to leave with Bella and the other girls.

“Thank you, sir. If I can really become the emperor, I will definitely fulfill whatever you want!”Aldo said respectfully.

“Hehe, it’s nothing. I would like to congratulate you in advance, your Majesty!”Jiang Fei smiled. He did not care about Aldo’s promises. Besides, the promises of people like Aldo were the most meaningless, these people were the classic example of burning bridges after crossing the river. If he really succeeded in usurping the throne, the first thing he would do would be to get rid of Jiang Fei and the others.

For people like Aldo who came from the bottom of society and succeeded in ascending to the throne, the first thing they would think of was not how to reward the people who had helped them. Instead, they would think of ways to sit firmly on the chair under their buttocks, they would get rid of all the vassals who had followed them to fight for power. This was because these people were more capable than him. He was afraid that after these people had helped him create a rebellion, they would come back to create a rebellion against him!

However, this was meaningless to Jiang Fei. Firstly, Jiang Fei did not want to stay on Norton. Secondly, he did not intend to help Aldo get to the top. What he needed to do was to completely mess up Norton, when that time came, there would be chaos everywhere. That way, no one would care about the “Players”anymore. No one would give the precious population to them!

Although the players still had one way to go at that time, which was to help a feudal lord settle the four sides and reunify Norton, that was a time-consuming and laborious thing. After all, it was much easier to destroy than to rebuild, jiang Fei was only messing with the planet. The “Players”had to restore order to the planet. Only then would the new ruler be able to reward them with the population.

Even if the “Players”could do it, it would take a lot of time. That was enough for Jiang Fei, a quest that could delay these players for a few years or even more than ten years was definitely worth it!

After bidding farewell to Aldo, Jiang Fei and the others left Marla City. Then, they followed behind the messenger and walked in the direction of the slaves.

Jiang Fei and the others walked for more than a day. When Jiang Fei and the others saw the slaves, the slaves had already delayed their arrival in Marla.

“The imperial edict has arrived!”As the messenger shouted, the soldiers who were escorting the slaves and the slaves all knelt down.

“The Imperial Edict of His Majesty…”then, the messenger began to read the edict aloud. The content of the edict was basically five words —— any failure to comply with the edict would be beheaded!

“This…”

“How can this be!”

“We were delayed because the storm had destroyed the road!”

“Sir! They don’t want us to do this!”

“What should we do!”

..

In an instant, the slaves panicked. According to the new law, they would all be executed after they arrived in Mala!

“Shut up! If you dare to shout again, I’ll kill you immediately!”The officer who was escorting the slaves shouted. At the same time, the whip in his hand whipped like a slave who was shouting injustice.

“Pa!”The whip directly hit the person’s face.

“Ah!”The slave cried out in pain, but he did not dare to make another sound. Because they had been slaves for a long time, these people’s blood had been mostly worn out. The result of being beaten and scolded for a long time was that they had forgotten to resist.

Seeing those slaves, they did not dare to make a sound, this was the messenger who said with a high and mighty face, “This is an order issued by His Majesty the Emperor. Even the Prime Minister can not make His Majesty change the order. What can I Do? Quickly go to the horse-drawn carriage and wait for your death!”

The messenger was obviously one of Aldo’s men. He did not forget to make things easy for Aldo and help the old emperor gain hatred.

”…”the slaves looked at each other. Most of their eyes were numb. However, Jiang Fei could see the anger and unwillingness in their eyes!

“It seems that these slaves can still be saved.”Jiang Fei nodded. If all of these were numb, Jiang Fei would really be dumbfounded.

Jiang Fei remembered those people who had eyes filled with anger and unwillingness. However, they did not show themselves. He continued to observe them in secret until the night when they were camping, only then did Jiang Fei arrive at the slave camp alone.

Because Jiang Fei had arrived together with the messenger, the soldiers guarding the slaves also knew him. They knew that he was the lord who had come with the messenger, so they did not dare to stop him.

After arriving at the camp, Jiang Fei used his spiritual power to scan and immediately found the slaves that he had noticed. Although they were not allowed to use their power due to the quest restriction, they could still be detected by scanning them.

After finding the location of these people, Jiang Fei went straight to the vicinity of these people. Although it was a slave camp, slaves often had no human rights. They did not even have a tent to live in. They were just a few pieces of rags that had been patched, then, he used a tree branch to build a shack.

These few people living in the shack were considered to be in good condition. Most of the slaves slept directly on the ground. Previously, when the southern rain was heavy, many of the slaves died of illness due to the rain. When they set off, there were 1.2 million slaves, now, there were only about 800,000 left. A total of 400,000 slaves died on the road just like that.

“No wonder these slaves did not have much of a reaction after hearing about the death judgment. Perhaps death is a kind of relief for them!”Jiang Fei sighed in his heart.
