Two days later, Jiang Fei and the others followed the slave army to the outskirts of Malar City. However, there were only about five hundred thousand of them. There were still about three hundred thousand old, weak, women, and children behind them.
"My lord, what should we do next?" Gironde asked.
"Attack the city!" Jiang Fei said without hesitation. The reason why the slaves could reach Malar so smoothly was because of the lack of fast communication methods in this era. Therefore, the Norton Empire did not know that the slaves had rebelled.
The Norton Empire was a super empire that ruled an entire planet. They had a huge army that was enough to wipe out Gironde and his slaves. However, the army was scattered all over the planet, so it was difficult for them to gather.
Therefore, for Gironde and the others, time was their only weapon. They had to defeat Malar and kill the emperor before the Norton Empire could react. That way, the Norton Empire would be without a leader. When that happened, there was a high chance that the generals would declare themselves kings and separate territories.
When that time came, the Norton Empire's army would be completely scattered and would never be able to gather again. Only then would Gironde and the others be safe.
"But Malar City is very sturdy …" Gironde said with some difficulty.
"Sturdy my ass!" Jiang Fei rolled his eyes. If this kind of earthen city could be considered sturdy, then the ancient cities on Earth would be impregnable castles.
"But my lord, we have neither weapons nor siege equipment. How are we going to attack the city?" Gironde was still very confused.
"This Po Tu City doesn't need any damn siege weapons. Let's find a few dozen strong and sturdy slaves, no, I mean a few dozen strong and sturdy warriors. Let them find a thick and heavy round wood and then carry the round wood to ram against the city gate!" Jiang Fei suddenly remembered that the most taboo thing for slaves was to mention their identity, so he immediately changed his words.
"Is that okay?" Gironde asked doubtfully.
"Just do it. Remember, when the time comes, you have to take the lead!" Jiang Fei said.
"No problem, but I only have one request," Gironde said after taking a deep breath.
"What is it?" Jiang Fei asked.
"If I die, please make sure that my brothers can live." Gironde did not care about the lives of the other slaves. He only cared about his brothers.
"Don't worry. You won't die," Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"Let's hope so." Gironde sighed.
The next morning, Girondin began to mobilize the slave army.
"Everyone can see that Mara City is right in front of us. As long as we break through it and kill the parasites inside, not only will we obtain freedom, but we will also obtain the power bestowed by the Yellow Skies, as well as the wealth and women of those parasites!" Gironde loudly incited.
"Kill them!"
"Take all their wealth!"
"Snatch all their women!"
…
In an instant, the slaves who had been oppressed for too long were stirred up. Once upon a time, freedom was an extravagant hope for them. But now, not only was freedom within their reach, but they would also obtain great power. Along with it, they would also receive endless wealth and tender women!
One had to know that slaves didn't even have the qualifications to marry commoners. Once the girls they gave birth to had a bit of beauty, they would be taken away by their masters when they were young. Therefore, those noble girls with delicate bodies were an innate temptation to them!
"Damn it!" Jiang Fei cursed. Although he had instructed Gironde to incite the slaves, he did not expect that Gironde would incite the slaves to become thugs. If they broke through Mara City, Jiang Fei did not even have to think about it. The entire city would become purgatory!
"Sigh!" Jiang Fei sighed. In his previous history class, although the peasant uprising was highly praised, Jiang Fei could still see the cruelty of the peasant rebels from the occasional historical records. After these people overthrew their former oppressors, they oppressed their comrades even more than before.
If this was the case for the peasant rebels, then there was no need to mention the rebellious slaves. They had suffered even greater oppression. Once they turned over, they would definitely pass this cruel oppression on to others!
However, although Jiang Fei sighed because of this, he did not intend to stop this rebellion. The reason was very simple. After fusing with the Darkened Soul, Jiang Fei's personality was no longer as weak as before. Although he sympathized with the civilians of Norton, he knew the importance of the safety of the universe. Therefore, even if the entire Norton was sacrificed, Jiang Fei would not change his decision.
After a brief mobilization, the 500,000-strong slave army was already boiling with excitement. Under Gironde's arrangement, they forcibly suppressed their inner excitement and then pretended to be travel-worn as they marched toward Mara City.
From afar, the guards of Mara City had already discovered the slaves who had come from afar.
There was a saying that if there were more than 10,000 people, there would be no end to it. If there were more than 100,000 people, there would be no end to it. The 500,000-strong slave army slowly approached, the queue almost reaching the horizon.
However, the guards of Mara City did not care. After all, they already knew that His Majesty the Emperor had given a few relatives millions of slaves. These slaves should have arrived in Mara a few days ago, but they were delayed by the heavy rain in the south.
"Hehe, these unlucky bastards are finally here!"
"Yes, a group of poor slaves. Because of the change of master, they have to travel such a long distance. Who knows how many will die along the way …"
"How many will die? You're really ill-informed. Don't you know that His Majesty has issued the latest decree? "
"What decree?"
"Execution of all delayed spells!"
"Kill them all?"
"Yes! None of these unlucky bastards will survive! "
The two guards discussed leisurely. They did not think that these slaves had already turned from a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered into ferocious, hungry wolves!
Soon, the group of slaves arrived near the city gate. At this moment, a sharp-eyed soldier had already discovered that something was wrong!
"Eh? Why aren't these slaves being escorted? "
"Why are the weapons of the soldiers in the hands of the slaves?"
"F * ck! Don't tell me these scum are rebelling? "
"Close the gate! Quickly close the gate! "
… …
After a period of commotion, the soldiers began to close the gate in a chaotic manner. As it had been at peace for too long, the noose that opened and closed the gate had started to lag. It was not easy to close the gate!
"Charge!" After discovering the movement on the city wall, Gironde immediately realized that they had been exposed. However, there was nothing to hide at this time. Hence, he roared and was the first to rush in the direction of the city gate!
"Charge! Follow in the footsteps of the chosen one! "The slaves shouted and swarmed towards the city gate!
