"You mean those gangs in the slums wanted to rob the workers of their wages, and our men were killed when they tried to stop them?" Suhlen listened to the whole story as he walked.
"Are there any nobles involved in this matter? Are there any nobles behind those gangs? "
"Sorry, Your Majesty, we haven't figured it out yet."
"Send people to continue the investigation. Now, bring some people to clean up the slums!" Suhlen said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The roads in the slums were still muddy. Mud and dirt would splash up when one stepped on them. Occasionally, there would be places where feces would be dumped. The air was always filled with a foul smell.
Small shacks were built in a messy manner, and there were many skinny children with blue faces and ragged clothes on the streets. Rats scurried across the ground from time to time. Compared to the other parts of the city, this place was like a completely different world.
Of course, in addition to those low and shabby shacks, there were also a few tall buildings in the slums. There were many strong men with scars around the buildings. Obviously, these places were the gangs in the slums.
When Suhlen arrived at the scene of the incident, it was already surrounded by people. A servant hurried to greet him.
"Your Majesty!"
The servant carefully carried a few stretchers over. After seeing the bodies on the stretchers, Suhlen's face became even gloomier. He looked like a volcano that was about to erupt.
The man on the stretcher was already dead. His back was a mess of flesh and blood. One could even see his white spine. His four limbs were broken. Someone had broken his limbs and whipped him to death.
The attendant lifted the linen cloth from the other stretcher and saw that the other corpse was also covered with whip marks. There were more than ten marks left behind by Luo Tie on the chest. The skin on the chest was almost completely burnt. There were also many signs of severe beating on the face. It was almost impossible to recognize the original appearance. There was a deep strangle mark on the neck, and the head was tilted to one side. The neck was fractured.
The last body was also badly beaten. His legs and arms were broken. Seven of his ten fingers were broken. His body was covered in blood. Many parts of his skin were torn off while he was still alive. His teeth were also broken. It was not hard to imagine how much pain these three people had suffered before they died.
Suhlen's face became gloomier. He was emitting a cold murderous intent. Even the servants around him could not help but shiver. They quietly moved back a few steps.
As soldiers who had followed Suhlen since he was in the North Town, they rarely saw Suhlen with such an expression. However, every time they saw him, it was bound to be bloody.
"Ayton!" Suhlen's cold voice was like a bone-chilling wind.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The drow bowed and took a step forward.
"Take your men and capture all the people involved. Remember, I want them alive!" Suhlen looked at the drow in front of him and said.
"Your Majesty, we promise to complete the task!" Ayton immediately said loudly.
Suhlen nodded. "Very good. Your skills are not rusty, right? Try it on all of them!"
Hearing Suhlen's words, the servants around him could not help but shiver. In terms of the skills of torture, the drows could be ranked in the top three on the continent. Although these drows in the North Town were all believers of the Dark Maiden, their skills were not weak at all.
The three staff members had obviously experienced very cruel torture and were brutally killed after the torture. Since Suhlen ascended the throne, he had become the master of San Felto City. Now, someone actually treated his people like this in his territory. This was no different from slapping Suhlen in the face.
These three staff members were managers recruited to transform the city. They led the workers to transform the city and represented the work of the city hall. Now that they were tortured and killed, how could Suhlen not be angry?
After Ayton left with his men, Suhlen turned around with a strong murderous intent. On the surface, it was just the killing of three staff members, which was not a big deal. However, for Suhlen and the new city hall of San Felto City, it was a blatant humiliation.
This was a very serious blow to the prestige of Suhlen and the city hall in the eyes of ordinary civilians. Suhlen was the king of the Kingdom of Florence, and San Felto was the capital of the kingdom. In the capital, his staff members were cruelly killed and abandoned near the city gate. What would the civilians in the city think if they saw this?
They would think that as the king, Suhlen could not even protect his own people in the capital. Who would dare to follow Suhlen in the future? This was a serious provocation to Suhlen's dignity. He had to use ten times more cruel means to exact revenge. Everyone involved in this matter had to pay the price in blood.
"Hansen!"
"Your subordinate is here!" The Barbarian next to him stepped forward and saluted.
"Take your men and occupy the entire slum area. Kill anyone who dares to resist!" Suhlen said with a murderous look.
Blood could only be washed away with blood.
"Kane!"
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Take people and lock down the noble area. Don't let anyone in or out!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Suhlen did not believe that these gangs in the city had no connection with the nobles in the city. It could be said that without the support of the nobles, these gangs would not be able to develop at all. Most of the time, the gangs in the city were the dogs of the nobles. They helped the nobles deal with things that they could not do in public. These gangs did a lot of illegal things in private. Without the support of the nobles, they would have been dealt with.
Su Lun didn't have time to deal with these gangs before. After all, these gangs were in the slums. As long as they didn't come out to make trouble, Su Lun planned to let them live for a while. When he had time to deal with them, he would deal with them. Unexpectedly, these gangs took action first.
As the king of the Kingdom of Florence, if these gangs dared to despise him, then the nobles in the kingdom would not respect him. By then, the whole Kingdom of Florence would be full of rebellions.
After the order was issued, Hansen smiled ferociously, then led his Barbarians and army directly into the slum area. Hansen's army was more than 5,000 people. Each Barbarian warrior led an army of 100 people. These Barbarian warriors were fully armored and wielding giant axes. The gangs that were originally tyrannical in the city were not much stronger than chickens in front of them.
On the other side, Ayton and the drows were also constantly advancing. Their goal was the culprit of this incident. Just after the incident, they investigated immediately and had already figured out the lairs of the gangs. Now, they had to capture all of these people.
Cain led other people to seal off the noble district. All the nobles were asked to return to their own residences. Seeing this situation, many nobles did not know what was going on at all. At the same time, some nobles were very flustered.
The slum area, the Black Dog Gang.
This was a three-storey building. Compared to the surrounding shacks, it was like a crane in a flock of chickens. At this time, there was a sound of fighting in this house.
"Damn it!"
"Run, those people are coming!"
"Monsters, they are all monsters!"
"Bang!" A loud noise came, and one of the walls of the house was directly knocked down. A Barbarian in heavy armor and holding a giant axe rushed in. As soon as he entered, he waved his giant axe and directly cut two gang members around him into two pieces.
Flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Several gang members were so scared that they turned around and ran. The Barbarian rampaged. Wherever he went, there was no enemy. Although these gang members were much stronger than ordinary people, compared to the Barbarian, they were a group of weak chickens. Dealing with them was like chopping melons and vegetables. Only a few of the leaders' strength had reached the level of beginner or intermediate professions.
As the army entered, the slum area was cleaned up bit by bit. The ordinary poor were hit and isolated. This time, Suhlen was ready to completely clean up the slum area, but the ordinary people living here could not be ignored. These people would be temporarily placed in concentration camps. The next city construction would employ all of these poor people.
Of course, before that, they still needed to catch the gang members hiding in the slum area. For the gang members who resisted, Suhlen's order was to directly behead them. As for those who surrendered, they would be investigated and then dealt with according to the law. Those who had committed serious crimes would be directly killed. The rest would be assigned to various places according to their crimes until the end of their sentence.
The slum area was not small. After cleaning it up, Suhlen would completely demolish the slum area. Some of it would be rebuilt with new houses, and other areas would be built with markets, warehouses, and so on.
Suhlen built four concentration camps outside the city. Each concentration camp could accommodate 20,000 people, which was enough to accommodate all the poor. As the army continued to advance, more and more poor people were sent to the concentration camps. Ayton had also completed the task given by Suhlen. The murderers of the three staff members, as well as the entire gang, were all brought over.
At this time, these people's limbs were broken, their ten fingers were dripping with blood, and there were all kinds of wounds all over their bodies. All the punishments of the three dead had been given to these people. Moreover, in addition to these punishments, the drows also used their torture skills. Now, these people were only left with one breath.
"Your Majesty, they've been interrogated!" Ayton said respectfully.
Suhlen did not look back. He asked directly, "Who's behind them?"
"The Grizzly Bear Gang is backed by Viscount Matt, but this time, there's another secret."
"What secret?"
"When we interrogated them again, we found out that a wizard had unknowingly cast a Suggestion spell on them. But that wizard is very cautious. These people have never seen him before. "
"I know!" Suhlen's eyes were even colder.
