Abyss Knight

Kukas said to himself not at all resonated with others, because the doctors were all gathered on a minecart, and they were talking in low voices about medicine. The soldiers looked curiously at where they would work in the future.

The underground is 300 metres deep, and it didn’t take long for Kukas and the others to reach the bottom floor through this track. Yes, their task in the future is to guard the 10,000 miners in the western part of the bottom 18th Layer. Along the way, they saw caves of different sizes on both sides of the track, where a large number of soldiers were stationed. Obviously, these soldiers were used to prevent miners from rioting.

More than a dozen mine carts stopped one after another, but Kukas and the others jumped out of it. After Kukas jumped to the ground, he found a team of hundreds of people standing quietly in front of him.

“Is it Lord Kukas?” A middle-aged officer came out of the team. The officer had only one arm and one eye, and his body was a little rickety. On him, Kukas felt a faint blood-reeking qi. Obviously this officer also retreated from the battlefield.

“Yes, may I ask who you are?” Kukas organized his military uniform. After the people in the camp knew his position, they rushed to make it for him overnight. from. After wearing this uniform and possessing the seal in his arms, Kukas was already an officer. Of course, as to whether he is an officer qualified, that is not what we are discussing here.

“haha! You are here to replace me. I am about to leave here. For a long time, I have forgotten my name.” The one-eyed officer grinned. He took a thick kraft scroll from his arms and handed it to Kukas. Some handover orders were written on the kraft paper, with more than ten seals on it. Obviously, this cowhide scroll has been saved by more than a dozen Leaders.

After receiving the cowhide scroll, the one-eyed officer took out a seal from his arms, and then, under the witness of everyone, branded the seal on the scroll. In this way, it can be regarded as a complete handover of each other’s work.

The one-eyed officer who was leaving his post gave Kukas a detailed account of the management of the miners. Of course, these things are actually described in the miner management manual issued by the military department.

“In fact, the most important thing you should pay attention to is the various forces entrenched in this fortress.” The one-eyed officer saw Kukas’s head, and felt the tyrannical blood-reeking from Kukas. After the qi died, I admired it, so he hesitated and continued: “Every day the military will ask you for a sufficient amount of ore, and the ore excavated by more than 10,000 miners is enough to pay for the military’s claim and there is a small amount of surplus Yes. The Great Influences entrenched in this fortress will ask you for these surpluses. Of course, you can provide them for free, or you can provide them to the military in exchange for military industry, so as to get more benefits from the military.”

“wu!” Kukas hearing this is just nodded, not at all, taking seriously the words of this one-eyed officer.

The one-eyed officer saw that Kukas didn’t take seriously, so he didn’t bother to say anything to him. There was no other polite remarks, the officer just paid a military salute to Kukas courteously, then led his men into the minecart to signal, and then headed upward. Of course, the minecart walking upwards is the same as walking downwards. The traction ropes must be constantly changed along the way, before finally reaching the outside of the mine.

After the one-eyed officer leads his people away, he will wait in this camp, and after he accumulates a certain number, he will return to the empire. There they either replaced the original army, retired completely and returned to their hometown to work in farming or became a mercenary.

After those people left, Kukas followed the instructions in the manual and divided the hundreds of soldiers under his hand into ten teams, each of which governed a thousand people. And he chose the ten strongest soldiers as his escorts to help him manage the ten teams.

After all this is over, it’s time for lunch. At this time, soldiers had found Kukas and their resting place in this huge underground mine according to the officer’s statement.

At this time, there was a huge underground mine. In the center, there were railroad tracks leading to the top. There were dozens of same roads all around. And Kukas and the others are located in the most western passage.

Follow the passage, but at a distance of more than ten meters, another large space appeared in front of Kukas and the others. In this large space, there are small passages all around. Those passages There is a smaller space behind. Some of these are places for sleep and rest, and some are places for storing various food supplies.

One of the passages spreads obliquely downwards, and that passage is larger than any other passage. Through this passage, you can see the miners.

After simply making some food for consumption, the doctors chose a room to go in. But Kukas left a small group of soldiers to protect the physicians, and he personally led the people down through the excavated passage.

This passage is very simple, all around it is uneven, obviously without any polishing or decoration. And after stepping into this passage that can accommodate five people walking side by side, there is a big corner after only tens of steps. There are five or six corners in this passage.

The more you go diagonally downward, the louder the clanging sounds. Those sounds are all made by miners digging for ore.

After Kukas and the others went around a corner again, a huge underground space appeared in front of them. This underground space is large and it is inclined downwards. A large amount of ore is stacked in this huge space. There are some small passages in the all around area. From time to time, miners carry a large amount of ore here, and then dump the ore in the center.

The miners didn’t seem to care at all about Kukas’s arrival. They just squatted, supported their bodies with a stick in one hand and carried the ore, and panted with one hand on their chest. The shabby clothes, dark face, and thin body all reminded Kukas of some coal miners he had seen in his previous life.

A miner shook his body before dumping the ore on his back, and then fell to the ground and could no longer stand up. Some miners who passed by him dumped the ore and dragged him to a corner. There, Kukas saw three or five dark corpses lying there.
