Chapter 518: The Kind and Easygoing People
The scattered corpses and the almost overwhelming scent of blood instantly stripped them of any will to resist.
Zhang Lin, already terrified, crumpled to his knees with a thud.
He was about to beg for mercy when a flash of cold light from Black Raven’s hand.
The sharp tip of a bronze sword was pressed directly against his throat!
The chilling cold sent goosebumps rising on his neck.
The words that were almost on his lips were forcibly swallowed back.
Black Raven, who had been ambushing in the wilderness for several days, clearly had no patience for this man’s nonsense.
With a wave of his hand, he signaled his Dark Division members to bind all the thieves and the captured grasslanders.
At the same time, with the capture of these thieves, news naturally reached Luo Ji immediately through the Mirror Division communication channels.
Luo Ji, having resolved a vexing matter, breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a surge of anger.
To sell military equipment to the grasslanders was nothing short of colluding with the enemy and betraying the nation!
With an angry huff, Luo Ji slammed the report onto his desk.
Then, looking at Zhang Tang standing below, Luo Ji spoke in a deep voice.
“Zhang Tang, do you know what to do?”
To this, Zhang Tang slightly cupped his hands.
“Your humble servant will ensure they reveal everything they know.”
The anger on Luo Ji’s face receded somewhat upon hearing this.
“Good. I await your good news. Now go.”
After watching Zhang Tang withdraw, Luo Ji leaned back in his main seat, lost in thought.
Those grasslanders, without him noticing, had actually extended their claws into his territory!
This time, regardless of the outcome, the campaign against the grasslanders was an urgent matter.
At the same time, Myriad World Civilization’s internal affairs also needed a thorough cleanup!
Previous consecutive wars had led to a scarcity of troops in Myriad World Civilization.
In the urgent need to expand military forces, the recruitment standards were inevitably lowered.
This allowed scoundrels like Zhang Lin, who would betray their country for personal gain, to infiltrate the military.
After this incident, Luo Ji was determined to conduct a strict investigation and purge all these black sheep!
Meanwhile, on the other side.
As Zhang Lin and the other treasonous prisoners were being escorted to Mirror City, the entire story, from beginning to end, quickly spread throughout Myriad World Civilization via public announcements and storytellers.
All at once, the people were filled with righteous indignation towards Zhang Lin and the other traitors.
However, at this particular moment, they had no rotten eggs or tomatoes to throw at them.
So, one by one, they brought out even harsher things.
Bricks, stones, and balls of excrement were flung at Zhang Lin, implicating even the soldiers escorting the prisoners, who suffered considerably.
Finally, at the repeated insistence of Luo Ji and the city lords of various cities, the kind and easygoing people of the various cities finally ceased throwing bricks…
After being subjected to such treatment along the way, Zhang Lin and the others were already disoriented, their eyes glazed over, and reeking.
Zhang Tang, eager to interrogate the prisoners, had no choice but to order several buckets of cold water to be poured over Zhang Lin and the others.
Then, after letting them air out in the prison for a few days, he sent men to fetch them from the Mirror City prison.
The opening of the prison cell door made Zhang Lin, who was slumped inside, tremble.
Seeing the two figures enter, their almost signature water-cloud black robes made his heart clench.
“W-what do you want to do?”
As he spoke, the two men had already grabbed Zhang Lin, one on each side.
With Zhang Lin’s meager martial arts skills, he was no match for them to begin with.
Moreover, he had been starved for several days, rendering him utterly incapable of resisting.
“Where are you taking me? Let go of me! Let go! Ahhhhhh!!!”
The terror in Zhang Lin’s heart made him struggle desperately.
One of the men, growing impatient, delivered a powerful hook punch directly to Zhang Lin’s lower abdomen.
The men of the Dark Mirror Division were known for their ruthless methods.
With that single punch, Zhang Lin’s face instantly drained of color.
His body involuntarily doubled over, and he nearly vomited the bitter liquid from his stomach.
“No contribution, no value, yet you stole military equipment and colluded with the enemy, betraying the nation. Do you think you have any human rights here?”
After speaking, the Dark Division member’s lips curled into a cruel, cold sneer.
“Have you heard of the Dark Mirror Division’s interrogation room?”
“You’ll have your share of suffering soon. Wouldn’t it be better to be cooperative now and suffer less?”
The moment he heard that he was being taken to the Dark Mirror Division’s interrogation room, Zhang Lin’s legs trembled, and his crotch became wet; he had literally peed himself from fright on the spot.
Who didn’t know that the Dark Division’s interrogation room was more terrifying than the Hall of Yama?
If you entered the Hall of Yama, at worst, you would die.
But if you entered the Dark Mirror Division’s interrogation room, it would be a fate worse than death!
“No, I don’t want to go to the interrogation room!!”
The intense fear almost made him scream.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything I know! Don’t take me to the interrogation room! I don’t want to go to the interrogation room!!”
Looking at Zhang Lin, who was crying and screaming in fright, the two Dark Division members escorting him were caught between laughter and tears.
“You cowardly wretch, who gave you the guts to steal military equipment?”
Regardless, Zhang Lin was ultimately taken away.
The fellow was already a coward before even entering the interrogation room.
His wet crotch showed he had soiled himself multiple times from fear.
Once inside the interrogation room, seeing the table full of interrogation tools, Zhang Lin didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
The moment Zhang Tang sat down, Zhang Lin, with snot and tears streaming down his face, confessed everything.
The fact that he confessed so readily meant he unexpectedly suffered little.
After recording all the confessions, Zhang Tang indicated that Zhang Lin should be put into an adjacent cell for now.
He wouldn’t simply trust a one-sided testimony.
Afterward, it would naturally be necessary to interrogate all the other individuals and the captured grasslanders.
Then, the information gathered would be carefully cross-referenced.
Only after confirming there were no issues would it be presented to Luo Ji.
Flipping through the report submitted by Zhang Tang, Luo Ji praised him, then quickly fell into deep thought.
Regarding the five major tribes on the grasslands, the report Burigude had sent earlier had described them in relative detail.
And this time, the military equipment stolen from his Myriad World Civilization seemed to have all fallen into the hands of the Charhan Tribe…
Luo Ji narrowed his eyes upon confirming this information.
The leader of that Charhan Tribe was not simple.
While the other four grassland tribes were still only gathering forces to raid his supply convoys, the leader of the Charhan Tribe had secretly bribed his Myriad World Civilization’s people, setting their sights on their weapons and equipment!
