Chapter 545 Destruction of Humans

This is the largest massacre in history, which artificially caused an uncontrollable plague, in which the northern continent of Yavia suffered annihilation. It was once said that if Sophia was hanged for murder, Emperor St. Rudolph, who ranked second in the number of massacres, could only be sentenced to about three months in prison.

Diseases are prevalent in human work areas. Poor people live a life of fear every day, because everyone knows in their hearts that death will come at any time.

Almost every day, people try to escape from camps in the mining area or factories in the wilderness, and only a few of them have successfully escaped. The usual punishment for escapees is to starve, behead or kill, and the families of escapees will also be arrested and sent to the mining area or factory where the prisoner was before they fled to intimidate other people who want to escape.

According to the records made by the Sofia Empire, many human beings died within a few months after they came to serve in the mining area, and stopped breathing even within a few days. Adults, women, and even children here have no power. I can only work hard for the puppets in order to delay their death.

The cruel suppression and inhuman slaughter made the civilians in the Sofia Empire completely desperate. They fled into the deep mountains, lived a beast-like life, and avoided the pursuit of puppets. More people crossed the border and fled to the Holy Empire, the Eternal Night Empire, and the fortress empire at the risk of being hanged. Some people even safely climbed over the mountains and fled to the forest of elves despite the danger of swamps and cliffs.

From the second half of the fourth year of the Gregorian calendar, the human population under the rule of the Northern Sofia Empire was close to 300 million. By the end of the fifth year of the Gregorian calendar, because of the war in Adams, the suppression of riots, the crazy slaughter and the escape of a large number of people, and the subsequent outbreak of large-scale plague, human beings in the Sofia Empire have become sharp. It was reduced to 120 million, and the number of losses exceeded half of the original population. During the same period, the population of the Sword Empire increased by 31 million.

Although the Sofia Empire used a more bloody slave policy than the Sword Empire, and even in order to save trouble and large-scale food massacres, the production level has not improved.

The Sofia Empire produced about 3 million puppets in 4 years of the Gregorian calendar. Because of Sofia's evil power consumption, only 2 million of them were successfully activated.

In the 5th year of the Gregorian calendar, after implementing various mandatory plans and carrying out genocide, the puppet empire produced 2 million puppets, 100,000 giant puppets, and more than 3,000 four-legged self-guided magic cannons only in this year.

In terms of output alone, there is almost no improvement. As Sofia's speed of recovery has improved, the troops of the puppet empire have finally increased in the fifth year of the Gregorian calendar, with a total of 9.3 million puppet soldiers and about 1.7 million human troops across the country.

The result of the discussion between Sophia and her confidant puppet No. 1 is that although pit killing has many benefits, it cannot recover many resources, such as the mining tools distributed for these slaves, and it also has to sacrifice part of the mine, so at the suggestion of No. 4 and others, Sophia decided to improve the method of slaughter.

After research, it was found that diseases, large-scale plagues, and suffocation are the best ways to kill human beings, so several new methods of slaughter have been developed.

They used a very small abandoned mine to develop the asphyxiation room. They disguised themselves as a pit with a very small mine, then installed a thick iron gate to block the exit of the mine, and then drove people into the mine to seal the iron gate, waiting for five or ten days, etc. The people inside suffocated to death. Then after a little cleaning, the body is transported out and used repeatedly.

With long swords, the puppets look for breathing in thousands of corpses, and then make up a sword. After that, these puppets will first wash away the blood stains on the body and debris on the ground with water, and then tie the body to separate it. It was really inseparable, so he cut off the finger of the body with an axe.

Then these puppets pulled out the golden teeth, rings, earrings or necklaces and jewelry from the body with pliers, searched for valuable things, and put the disposed bodies on the ground row by row and waiting to be dragged away.

After opening the iron door, there are often living people inside, who will be killed by puppet soldiers, and then transport them out to wait with those who are suffoed. This is because the crowd wants to squeeze into the cracks of the poorly sealed iron gate and breathe fresh air, so they will crowd each other, trample, squeeze to death, and even kill each other to save air.

These gold and silver jewelry are used as life-saving straws to save the economy, together with the gold coins and even iron pots in the homes where the dead are already empty, they are sent to the factory and become rivets, iron pieces on the puppet, and the iron frame of the magic guide gun.

Boxes of gold earrings, necklaces, rings and brooches were sent to nearby pawnshops for sale and converted into funds for the Sofia Empire to import resources. Finally, there are so many such stolen goods that merchants and shops refuse to accept them.

Before these people died, everyone was cheated into writing a family letter, declaring that they would go back because there were no clothes and travel expenses, hoping that the family would provide some clothes and funds.

Although many letters are not replied because people go empty or are killed early, there are still many kind people who mail a lot of clothes and money in exchange for their relatives.

The puppets gathered these materials and pulled them into a huge "factory". There are two or three dozens of meters long "pipelines" in the workshop, consisting of several long tables, next to hundreds of "skilled" prisoners, as if sorting mail.

In order to survive, these people have to work according to the instructions of the puppet: the first person opens the box with a pry bar, and after the box is opened, it is pushed to the second person along the long table; the second person is responsible for picking the clothes and putting the clothes neatly according to the type, size, new and old on the shelf behind them; the third person specially picks shoes, and then the special Those who pick gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, and magnifying glasses and balances are specially used to identify jewelry.

The bodies of the slaughtered victims were deliberately stacked together waiting to decay and stink. Then discard these bodies in water sources, pastures, and even around the city, waiting for living people to contract the plague or change into diseases.

People who get sick are regarded as valuable resources. These people who keep coughing, their eyes are dull and vomiting blood, and even full of abscesses and may die at any time are sent to big cities to transmit the virus to more people.

Towns and villages have become empty dead fields. The smell of rotten corpses permeates the air, making people sick, and large areas of the originally fertile land has turned into barren cemeteries.

The plague was rampant, and the Sofia Empire not only did not provide help such as isolation and treatment, but spread these terrible disasters, which directly led to a further reduction in population.

In 5 years, an unprecedented large-scale plague broke out in the northern part of the continent of Yavia, with more than 11 million deaths and more than 60 million displaced, accounting for nearly half of the remaining total population in the entire occupied area occupied by the Sofia Empire.
