Chapter 445 Sweep
"Fuck! I want to fuck!"
Those pirates who deserve to go to hell were causing a ruckus in the council hall.
In Suraj's hometown, those who commit heinous crimes are not executed, but instead exiled to the Spring of the Dead.
The mighty river nurtures countless lives; it is a symbol of purity.
The Spring of the Dead is a synonym for blasphemy and filth.
Legend has it that anyone who enters the Spring of the Dead will have their soul permanently stripped away and imprisoned there.
All of this person's past piety and asceticism will vanish in vain.
For the Swabawa people, whose faith is above all else, this is the cruelest form of punishment.
Some say the Spring of the Dead is the entrance to hell, while some monks say it is hell itself.
Suraj didn't know much about the Spring of the Dead. His faith was equally devout, but he had something else he cared about more.
He cares about honor and the mission that brings honor.
Now, Paradise City has finally ushered in its first winter.
Two-thirds of the residents now have free time.
Although no snow or ice fell, it was still cold.
More importantly, the reduced presence of many animals has led to a significant decrease in the meat supply in the pioneering areas.
Residents whose quality of life has declined despite having more free time are beginning to crave more excitement.
Therefore, they began to complain to Suraj about wanting to experience physical pleasure.
The most troublesome thing is that this kind of unconditional demand can quickly resonate with people.
The demands gradually turned into demonstrations.
Suraj must teach them a lesson.
Giving in will only lead to further aggression; only by using force can such malicious incidents be nipped in the bud.
Perhaps he should establish a more stringent order.
A systematic management system.
For example, a three-tiered management system consisting of city lords, foremen, and residents.
This would require, perhaps, the enactment of laws governing the development of the territory.
For laws to be effectively implemented, they require the power of law enforcement.
An armed force also needs to be built.
The only thing that worried Suraj was whether doing this would be too expensive, given that Paradise City only had a few dozen people.
Once a strict system is established, then the military will need to be on standby.
This will inevitably take away some of the labor force in the spring of next year.
In fact, Suraj understood that these people's demands were not without merit; they wanted women, and the pioneering land also needed women.
Some jobs are better suited to women, and if pioneering lands are to continue, they must reproduce.
However, Suraj currently has no way to get women.
Whether Ah Jun has already led his fleet to provide support is still unknown to Suraj.
Whether there were women in the fleet was even more impossible to determine.
Suraj believes that it is unlikely.
Expeditions are great missions, but in Swabawa, women have a very low status and are not worthy of participating in such missions.
Perhaps they could buy women from nearby tribes.
However, everyone thought the green-eyed man was dirty.
Unless one's desires are extremely strong, no one would choose to have sex with a green-eyed person.
But who knows?
Perhaps Suraj could discuss the human trafficking with those green-eyed people.
"Hey!" A burly man approached Suraj. "You have to give me an answer, Governor."
This man used to be a pirate, and may have killed countless people.
The scars on his face, from the struggles he endured, all testify to this.
Ram walked up to Suraj and blocked his way with his burly body.
The man glared fiercely at Ram, but the loyal subordinate did not move aside.
Although the man did not do anything out of line for the time being, Suraj's emotions remained unchanged.
But he had already begun to consider how to punish the other party.
If his insolence is not punished, others will follow suit throughout the territory.
Suraj patted Ram on the shoulder, signaling him to move aside.
His lips moved as if he was about to say something... *Bang!*
A sharp sound rang out.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a jar on the cabinet that had been smashed on the ground.
It wasn't done intentionally; the wooden cabinet was placed in the corner of the room, and there was no one beside it at the moment.
Accident?
Just as Suraj was thinking this, he noticed that the light was flickering.
It was nighttime, and the lighting was provided by the campfire under the chimney.
But why are the flames flickering so violently when the doors and windows are tightly closed?
Immediately, Suraj felt a slight vibration under his feet.
This was not Suraj's misperception, because at that moment someone raised a question:
"earthquake?"
Suraj experienced an earthquake in the New World; it was a massive earthquake.
And it gave Suraj a nightmare he couldn't remember.
Although he couldn't recall the details of the dream, the fear he felt at the time was deeply etched into Suraj's mind.
"No!" But Ram said, "It's not an earthquake! Listen! What's that sound?"
Upon hearing this, Suraj immediately perked up his ears.
Sure enough, he heard a dull sound.
Dense and suffocating, dense yet fragmented.
It sounded like footsteps, but not like human running, or the galloping of a hoofed animal.
They are arthropods, using their antennae to strike the taut drumhead.
But this is clearly impossible; even the largest spider that Suraj had ever seen could not make such a loud footstep.
Moreover, the number of individuals contained within a single sound is simply too great.
However, Ram expressed his horror:
"The sound is getting louder; something's approaching!"
Helpless, the people all headed toward the source of the sound, peeking through window cracks and wall crevices to observe.
Suraj had a vague premonition that something was wrong, but he found a chair and sat down.
He used his power to cause his soul to leave his body.
Suraj, in the form of a spirit, passed through the wall and disappeared.
Through the bright moonlight, Suraj seemed to see a thick layer of dust rising in the southeast direction.
He flew there and entered the riots.
Then, Suraj felt a deep sense of horror.
He hadn't misheard.
Running before him was a group of arthropods.
Or rather, it is a large and sufficient army.
They have brownish-black bodies and sharp, protruding mouthparts.
And, like sharp blades, paired segments.
They ran forward, leaving rows of large craters in the ground.
There's a bear ahead.
Oh! This must be the giant bear that has recently instilled fear in explorers.
Because it was winter, it had been starving for a long time.
Suraj's men said they had been attacked by the bear multiple times.
However, at this moment, this terrifying behemoth was fleeing in disarray.
However, this group of insects seemed to move even faster—
Smoke and dust engulfed the giant bear.
After a long while, when enough time had passed, the giant bear's figure reappeared in Suraj's sight.
However, only a skeleton remained.
What horrified Suraj even more was that they were swarming towards his Paradise City.
At this moment, it seemed that all the questions that had been swirling in Suraj's mind had found their answers.
Why don't the green-eyed people around Suraj object to him settling down?
Why are there so few Green-Eyed People tribes only in the land near the outpost?
So that's the reason!
