The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 290 Lizardmen's Non-Warriors and Warriors

When Lord Abes set out on the long journey with the people of Silvermoon Farm, he had no intention of carrying the platinum coffin because it was too heavy, and the vehicle they had was just a cargo cart converted from a prisoner van left behind by the Lizardmen.

Now, returning to the fertile land of the south and choosing Silvermoon Farm as the first stop is actually the selfish desire of Arthur, the leader, and several of his colleagues.

Because they started from here.

Although it is called a farm and there are people living there, the history of this place is not long because it is called a farm.

Unlike villages, they did not evolve gradually as settlements from ancient times to the present, but were born as part of the nobles' plan to increase production and generate income.

It was constructed.

Therefore, even though there are still people staying here, it is only about two or three generations at most, and there is no sense of homesickness.

The birth of Silvermoon Farm is a classic example. In order to suppress the Myers family who were in the wrong position, the king demoted his only daughter to a permanent farmer and recruited a group of farmers to form an organization.

It is an absolutely short-lived existence.

And that only daughter later became the mother of Kronos.

All in all, there is no homesickness. Arthur chose this place as his first stop just to take a look and put an end to his past.

However, on the one hand, the lizardmen who were worshipping around the platinum coffin really surprised him.

After all, he actually had private thoughts in his heart about treating her harshly.

In his opinion, although General Paddy has been imprisoned and the Lizardman's Great Elder Paospa has been killed, can both sides really change their mind immediately?

Just like there is a shadow of hatred in my heart, those lizardmen will definitely not obey me.

How could it be possible that an invader would voluntarily give up the land he had obtained?

Even though the Lizardmen were not good at farming, and even though they were now leaderless and had lost their entire army, occupying the fertile land in the south was a useless achievement.

Even though Lord Abes had already sent a group of Lizardman warriors back in advance to carry out the work of unification and publicity.

But Arthur believed that they would definitely have a conflict, and at that time, he could vent his emotions openly.

However, after seeing the situation before him and asking a few lizardmen, Arthur still felt the great power of the spread of ideas.

Or maybe my vision is too small.

Lizardmen do not have a long lifespan and, like dragonborn, are oviparous animals.

They are able to replace several generations in a short period of time. Having been brainwashed by Paospa into that state, they can naturally be re-taught and reformed through correct and just propaganda in a short period of time.

In fact, Arthur felt that they were going a little too extreme.

"I remember that Lord Abes ordered you to inform your compatriots that if you don't want to, you can return to the East Desert. If you want to, you can stay, but the land must be returned to the previous owner. So we can only reorganize you and send you to other wasteland and underpopulated land in the country to live..."

"But I don't think Lord Abes wants you to torture yourself and other people of your clan like this."

It's not that he hadn't thought about it. Under Lord Abes's guidance, these former invaders would realize their mistakes and feel shame.

However, this group of lizardmen simply stopped living on this land, and even the supplies they had robbed were no longer available.

Before Arthur and his men arrived, they even chose to eat and drink as little of the supplies as possible, choosing instead to chase the wind and grass and drink nectar.

I can only say that fortunately the time was not too long and the lizardmen were all starving to survive. Otherwise, let alone education and transformation, huge misunderstandings might arise among the lizardmen in a few days.

In addition, they also controlled all the lizardmen who were unwilling to leave the fertile land in the south, but unwilling to return to the Eastern Wilderness, and unwilling to follow Lord Abes, and imprisoned them as criminals.

Later, they found something related to Abes Grande based on the narration of the lizardmen who returned from the royal capital.

It is the fine golden coffin that has been guarded by the Mels family for generations and has not been taken away yet at the ruins of Silver Moon Farm.

A simple earthen altar was built around the coffin, and the criminals also had an additional procedure to come here and confess their mistakes.

Along the way, some lizardmen also suggested using better building materials such as wood and stone from the fertile soil in the south. After all, they were building things for the adult who was willing to grant them citizenship and a better life.

But in the end, how could they use building materials when they were unwilling to consume more food? Digging earth became their means of construction.

In response, Arthur took a deep breath, and the hidden hatred in his heart was finally buried completely.

The Lizardmen, a strange species from the Eastern Wilderness, do seem to be a very simple kind.

On the contrary, I was the one who was reluctant to let go.

He has no right to forgive anything, but he also has no right to harm anything.

Liberate and unite all intelligent races?

Arthur thought of the conversation between Lord Abes and them when they left, his eyes were great and bright.

In the end, Arthur decided to take a more gentle and humane approach to dealing with these lizard people.

He knew that if this continued, the situation for the lizard people would only get worse, and there would be more and more misunderstandings and conflicts.

"Listen," he said to a group of lizardmen, "you don't have to torture yourselves like this. Since you chose to stay and not return to the Eastern Wasteland, it seems that we are all citizens of the small kingdom of Womuza. These food and water can certainly be provided to you to ensure that your basic living needs are met."

"As for those so-called criminals you have decided on, we can give them one last chance to make a decision now that we have arrived."

"For those who choose to return to the Eastern Wasteland, we will try to contact them as a friendly country in the future. For those who choose to stay in the fertile land of the South, the small kingdom of Womuza will treat you and other lizardmen who stay with you as citizens of its own country."

"In the final analysis, whether it is within or outside the national borders, they are all goals that can be united. Lord Abes, who is destined to rediscover the entire world and become the king of kings, needs the unity and cooperation of all intelligent races, not the self-flagellation and sacrifice of any intelligent race."

----------

The lizardmen who were kneeling or tied up, shackled, etc. looked at each other, obviously confused and uneasy about this change.

They didn't want to leave, but also refused to surrender. Logically speaking, they were resisting stubbornly. In fact, they were mentally prepared to be executed.

As a result, when someone with some influence came from the Scaleless People's side, their first request was to release them?

Could such a good thing really happen?

In this regard, the Lizardmen warriors who had lived in the royal capital were much more emotionally stable.

An obviously middle-aged lizardman stood up. On the scales of his right arm, there was a carved tattoo in the shape of a magic blast furnace.

In the tattoo, this magical blast furnace is pouring out endless molten iron below, which then solidifies into the metallic luster of lizardman scales at the end.

It is a very clever design, and from the elements used by the other party, it can be seen that he should be a person who was once captured and then followed Lord Abes to the royal capital and stayed there for a period of time.

He said in a low voice, "You are right. We have made mistakes. We occupied land that does not belong to us and took away other people's resources. We need to atone for our sins, but we should not do such unnecessary waste."

Arthur nodded in understanding.

"In fact, this is exactly the message that Lord Abes asked us to convey," Arthur continued, ignoring the denial he had secretly done in his heart. "Atonement is not achieved through self-torture. Development and production are the hard truth."

Then, Arthur turned to the other warriors who followed him and said, "As instructors, we not only have to train them, but also take good care of them."

"Rebuilding and restoring this land is a long and arduous task."

After receiving the instructions, the instructors from the royal capital immediately carried out group management.

After a simple formation and grouping, they immediately began to distribute the remaining unused food and water to the lizard people.

At the same time, based on the medical education that Lord Matthew had received in the royal capital, Arthur also arranged for some people with high medical skills to conduct a unified examination of the health of the lizard people to ensure that no one fell ill due to hunger and fatigue.

Although even an ordinary lizardman is considered a qualified warrior by humans, in the fertile south, it is still possible to distinguish between combatants and non-combatants.

As for non-combat personnel, Arthur did not pay much attention to them at first. But after reporting and sorting, he suddenly realized that their working ability was not bad.

After all, he is an alien species from the Eastern Wilderness that is famous for his hand-made javelins, so he is quite dexterous.

The main reason is that they do not know how to farm intensively and find it difficult to participate in traditional human agricultural work.

"From today on," Arthur passed down his first order, "all non-combatant lizardmen will be incorporated into a work team to help us rebuild the villages and roads here."

----------

Arthur's orders were promptly carried out, and they began to get busy.

Each team of lizardmen has an instructor who is responsible for supervision and guidance to ensure the efficiency and results of the lizardmen's work.

These non-combat lizard people included some "sinners" who chose to stay instead of leaving when they had the last chance.

In Arthur's opinion, this was not actually a big crime.

It is human nature to be unwilling to give up the land. If it were a human farmer, even if he knew that his land was won by the country through war, if you asked him to give it up, he would definitely pick up the hoe and fight with all his might.

As a farmer at Silvermoon Farm, Arthur believes in this kind of thinking.

The reason why it can be considered a crime is that the other lizardmen really do not seem to have much desire for the land, and they even have the temperament of a self-flagellated saint, which makes the other lizardmen so excited. Let's force them to kneel down and confess their sins in front of Lord Abes's fine gold coffin.

"In any case, bias will be eliminated in investigation and practice..."

Although the few lizardmen were reluctant at first, after a few days of getting along, they gradually saw the sincerity of the scaleless people - the human guides.

The supply of food and water was never interrupted, nor was there any deduction or discount later in the process.

More importantly, throughout the process, those instructors will also be personally involved in the work, and may even appear to be far ahead because of their greater proficiency in the use of construction standards and tools.

They are not warlords, they are not animal trainers, they are teachers and friends.

----------

The arrangements for non-combatants were solved on the spot, but for combatants who wanted to actively participate in the war, it was a different story.

Arthur brought them a letter from Lord Abes, which expressed his gratitude to these Lizardmen warriors for their willingness to participate in the liberation of the small kingdom of Wommza. He also formulated a simple three-step plan for them without revealing too much of the plan.

The first step is to transform the mental outlook and thinking of the Lizardmen warriors into a righteous army like them.

The second step is that they need to transform the weapons and equipment of the Lizardmen warriors into new equipment under the magic industry system;

The third step is that they need to complete a city and town-level combat training.

Only after completing these three steps would Abes allow them to enter from the southwest of the small kingdom of Womuza, and go all the way north to join forces with the military forces of the royal capital in the northwest to complete the unification of the small kingdom of Womuza.

"So, teach me a lesson first!"

"Ah..." They were mumbling in the common language or the dragon language of the lizardmen. Although they didn't say it out loud and they didn't even understand the language, Arthur understood what they were thinking.

They are all great guys who have served as soldiers and warriors. Even though they are of different races, they still have some similar thoughts.

So, he naturally knew how to deal with them.

Bang!

As soon as the truck door opened, the things that had been prepared long ago slid down from the truck bed.

"Standard armor, which is the full body armor that every soldier in our capital is equipped with!"

"The whole body is made of metal and steel, with maximum protection! Whether in the Eastern Wasteland or anywhere else, it would be hard to find such amazing equipment!"

"If you want to be an iron warrior on the battlefield, this full body armor is definitely your best choice!"

"Next, the big news is coming - the magic arm armor!"

"Master Kronos took into consideration that the Lizardmen are slower than humans and larger than humans, which would render the Eldenite ineffective, so he designed this big guy especially for you - the sealed spells are replaced with directional thunder waves!"

"Can't move quickly and fire flaming arrows? Then fix the turret's heavy firepower."

"The last to appear is the black technology inspired by Lord Abes - the magic grenade and the magic hand cannon!"

"By the way, the magic hand cannon is a great item that only Master Abes can use! You need strong arm strength to hold it, you definitely can't miss it!"

"Not only is it extremely powerful, it also makes you a heavyweight firepower on the battlefield that can only be matched by siege weapons!"

After a performance that was not like his style, Arthur also made a fist-collecting gesture to quiet himself and the voices present.

"And they can only be obtained by those with sufficient knowledge and noble thinking, that is, those who have high grades in educational tests."

Telling them what they will get is the best motivation.
