Chapter 542 Banishment
Twenty minutes later, as the two of them were chatting, the metal door of the dormitory suddenly opened with a “bang”. Immediately after, a tall figure lowered his head and walked in.
“Boss!” Lady Flower Beetle stood up and shouted.
“Brother Black.” The big-headed bee also went forward to greet him.
“Look, I told you boss wouldn’t forget us.” Ladybug said flatteringly.
“Mm-hmm.” Bighead Bee nodded in agreement.
The Black Pig King looked left and right, his face expressionless and silent.
“Boss” The atmosphere was a little awkward. The two of them involuntarily lowered their heads and glanced at each other with the corner of their eyes. They didn’t know what to say.
After examining the two of them for a while, the Black Pig King turned around and asked, “Do you know where you were wrong?”
“I … we shouldn’t have broken the rules …” The ladybug wriggled its lips and said.
“Brother Hei, I’m sorry to trouble you.” Bighead Bee lowered his head and said.
Seeing that the Black Pig King did not react, the ladybug argued, “Boss, we didn’t kill that child. When we entered the restaurant, he was already dead. He was shot many times and his chest was dripping with blood.”
“Yeah, we didn’t do anything bad.” Bighead Bee echoed, “Please believe us, it’s all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding …”
After a long silence, Black Pig took a deep breath, turned around and looked at the two of them. He slowly said, “Big-headed Bee, Ladybug, you are all my good brothers …”
“I believe everything you say.”
“All these years, you’ve followed me through life and death, and you’ve suffered many injuries.”
“Big-headed Bees helped me block bullets while fighting with others. When there was nothing to eat, ladybugs stuffed me with dried beef.”
“I remember all of this, and I will never forget it in this lifetime.”
At this point, both of them felt a little embarrassed and said awkwardly, “Boss, why are you talking about this? We should be brothers.” “Brother Hei, that’s not what you think.”
“But” The Black Pig King paused for a moment and said, “Although you didn’t kill that child, you are still wrong.”
“Boss, to be honest, I’m not convinced …” The ladybug looked a little aggrieved. “Didn’t everyone eat it during the famine?”
“Do they not like us and want to find an excuse to chase us away?” Bighead Bee asked.
The Black Pig King sighed and silently looked at the two of them. After a while, he said, “Brother, have you thought about it …”
“We are insecticides, people abandoned by this world.”
“The Temple and the World Council do not treat us as humans. They say that we are mutated vermin, cruel and chaotic in nature. We are corrupt Abyss Devils.”
“Then drive us to the southern cemetery, the most polluted place in the world, and force us to fight against the harsh environment and mutated creatures.”
“Not only that, they also control our population by controlling the supply of food, forcing us to kill each other.”
“In order to survive, we will do anything …”
“Killing and robbing, eating people and drinking blood, using everything.”
“But that was forced. There is no way out.”
“Cannibalism is a beast’s behavior. Even cemetery wolves don’t eat their own kind, let alone we are humans!”
“They can ignore us as humans, but we can’t ignore ourselves as humans.” The Black Pig King’s eyes reddened as he smashed hard against his chest.
“The whole world can look down on us, but only we can’t look down on ourselves!”
Hearing the Black Pig King’s words, the ladybug and the big-headed bee couldn’t help but shed tears.
“From the moment we were born, we have been carrying a sinful fate.”
“This is unfair and unfair.”
“Ever since the day we sensed it, we’ve been looking forward to the redemption of the Holy Flame.”
“I hope that a spark will start a prairie fire. I hope that justice will come later.”
“But have you ever thought about what kind of face we should use to stand in front of the sacred flame when that day comes? We have a clear conscience!”
“Big brother, don’t say anything else. We were wrong. We really were wrong.” The ladybug couldn’t help but cry. The big-headed bee didn’t say anything and just silently shed tears.
The Black Pig King wiped his eyes and remained silent for a long time. He said, “Alright, I’m done …” He turned around, his back facing the two of them and raised his hand. “You can leave now.”
“Oh.” The ladybug nodded in agreement, then pulled down the sleeve of the bee and walked out.
But just as he walked out of the door, the ladybug seemed to have remembered something. Its face suddenly turned pale. It turned around and asked, “Boss, you” His voice involuntarily trembled. “Where do you want us to go?”
“Go wherever you like.” The Black Pig King looked at the small window on the wall and said slowly.
The ladybug immediately gave a “wow” sound and rushed forward to hug the Black Pig King’s copper-poured iron leg.
“Big brother, we were wrong. You can beat us and scold us, but you can’t leave us alone!” The ladybug burst into tears and snot from crying.
After ten years of interdependence, blood was thicker than water.
“Big brother, big brother!” The big-headed bee reacted and collapsed to the ground, crying loudly.
“No rules, no rules.” ‘”If one day the Thunder Hammer summons the heroes of the world, we might be able to stand side by side again …” Fang Zheng’s face was filled with hot tears.
“Let’s go!” He roared, “Hurry up and leave, don’t make me do it!”
The ladybug wiped its eyes and exchanged glances with the big-headed bee. Then, it stood upright and bowed deeply to the Black Pig King’s back.
“Big brother, please take care!”
After saying that, the two turned around and left. They quickly ran down the stairs, left the stronghold, and fled in the direction of Sand Wind Castle.
A moment later, the Black Pig King wiped away his tears and slammed his head into the wall. Blood immediately dripped down his face. Then, he shook his head and returned to the command center.
The Black Pig King covered his head and explained to Tie Zha, “Two bastards, sneak attack me while I’m not paying attention …”
“In other words, they escaped?” Tie Zha asked casually as he drank the red wine Takeda Dazhi had collected.
“I did not do a good job, punish me.” The Black Pig King said straightforwardly.
“Then you” Tie Zha thought for a moment, then turned to Zhao Wenke and said, “Wash the toilet for our staff officer for a month.”
“Don’t” Zhao Wenke frowned. Just as he was about to refuse, the Black Pig King had already left behind the words “I’ll be right there” and ran away without looking back.
Zhao Wenke shook his head helplessly as he looked at the back of the half-broken door and hurriedly left.
“Alright, this matter ends here. Don’t mention it again in the future.” Tie Zha concluded.
“You are the boss. You have the final say.” Zhao Wenke looked at him and said unhappily.
In the next few days, everyone took over the Hirano Stronghold and the mining area under Sakata Industries, and the mining area near Chifeng Stronghold began to be built.
Most of Sakata Industries’ soldiers were mercenaries, and after some effortless persuasion, they all joined the new Hirano Guards. Because the name of the stronghold was a little troublesome, Tie Zha decided to use the original name. Anyway, it was just a name.
Regarding the person in charge of Hirano Stronghold, Tie Zha wanted Zhao Wenke to be the one in charge, but the latter immediately refused for two reasons.
On the one hand, Zhao Wen was a staff officer, but he was also responsible for diplomacy and intelligence, so he could not stay in one place for a long time. On the other hand, leading troops to battle was not his specialty. Dealing with soldiers at the bottom was not his specialty. Therefore, he was not suitable to be the commander of Hirano Stronghold.
Thus, Tie Zha looked for the Black Pig King. However, the latter refused his appointment without hesitation on the ground that “I was cleaning the toilet for the staff officer”.
After discussing with Hagrid a few times, Tie Zha decided to take the risk and let Wang Hu be the commander of the Hirano Stronghold. After all, there are only a few of his subordinates, and with Eva in power now, there’s no need to worry about being discovered by You Ge.
Following Wang Hu’s recommendation, Jerome became the leader of the LTTE, Hillman Hiroth was promoted to deputy leader, and Marvin was promoted to captain of the Mech Commando. The Vermillion Bird Guild was also transferred from Storm Stronghold to Hirano Stronghold. Mu Qianhe was the deputy commander of the stronghold and captain of the Mech Brigade, Match was promoted to Vermillion Bird Guild Leader, and Marcus was promoted to deputy commander.
Bai Xiaoyun had finally levelled up. He was the finance officer of the Hirano Stronghold, while Giant Ah Mu was the logistics officer. Gangze was transferred to the Crimson Peak Stronghold as Hagrid’s guard.
Half a month later, the mining areas around Chifeng Stronghold and Pingye Stronghold resumed production one after another. Carts of metal and spirit ores brought endless wealth to the Black Wolf Legion.
After the Belle Foundation took over the five mining areas separated from Hirano Stronghold and Sequoia Stronghold, Valeria ran to Chifeng Stronghold to open an office because she hated all places related to the Temple of Rain Prayer.
After the war ended, Evgeny and Tokuda Dazhi were imprisoned in Crimson Peak Stronghold, and Valeria went down to make trouble for the two of them if she had nothing to do. When Tie Zha and Bill talked about things, Bill complained that the two people shouted too loudly and often sobbed at night, seriously affecting his rest. He applied for a change of cell, away from the two of them, and requested that sound insulation be installed.
As Tie Zha passed by, Evgeny and Tokuda stretched out their arms through the iron railings, asking him for help with tears in their eyes.
“Big brother, let us go. We can do whatever you want.” “Big brother, we were wrong. We shouldn’t have been unhappy with you back then. Save us, for the sake of men.”
However, Tie Zha could only pretend that he didn’t see what happened to the two of them. Even though he was a man, he still felt a little sympathetic. Watching two grown men being tortured like this by a woman was really not in line with his aesthetic standards. But after all, he had promised the other party before. At the same time, this was one of the conditions for the Belle Foundation to send troops.
He felt goosebumps all over his body whenever he saw Valeria swaying past with a whip or a suitcase full of gadgets and props.
“Friend, there is an old saying in the Far East,” Tie Zha could not help but persuade him once.
“If I forgive them, who will forgive me?” For this reason, Valeria opened her clothes and showed him her lower abdomen. “Look, look, what did they do to me!”
“Yes.” Tie Zha had nothing to say, so he nodded against his will in agreement, though his heart was extremely reluctant.
