Chapter 328 Slave Camp



Brooke looked at the crowd around him who had calmed down because of Finn's words, and quickly organized his words before beginning to answer.

"As long as you want to go out, there will be someone waiting outside to meet you."

When Brooke said this, he looked very confident.

When they came to Barnes Village to recruit people, they naturally had to consider every aspect carefully.

In response to this problem, they had made full preparations outside the territory of Barnes Village and had prepared various plans.

"Really?" The people listening around asked subconsciously.

Brooke's words were really too absolute.

"Really, it's no good for me to lie to you. After all, you all know that I'm in Hope Village. My wife and children are there and I can't run away." Brooke continued to make assurances.

As for the plan they came up with, it is not appropriate to talk about it here.

If someone doesn't want to leave, it would be bad if they let it out.

...

...

As long as they are willing to go out, as soon as they go out, someone will immediately pick them up and take them away, leaving them no chance to regret it. After all, no one knows if there are any spies here.

This point does not need to be explained specifically.

Looking at Brooke's confident look, Finn was already 70% convinced.

Not to mention other people.

They had been aroused psychologically from the very beginning, and now that they had no worries, they began to get restless again.

"Will there be anyone to pick me up when I go out now?"

"Any signal or something?"

“Or is there a designated location?”

"Or do you want a token of some kind?"

“…”

Many people are still willing to give it a try, especially those who have no burdens, and can definitely leave at any time.

"No need, as long as you take the normal road out of the territory of Barnes Village, someone will come forward to guide you." Brooke replied.

After hearing what Brooke said, someone immediately walked towards home.

Although Brooke said there would always be someone there, if you wanted to leave, you had to leave as soon as possible. What if you were stopped later and couldn't leave?

In addition, you should also talk to your relatives and friends so that you will have a companion when you leave together, and you will not be easily bullied when you go to the new territory in the future.

In a short while, the crowd dispersed a lot.

Brooke felt a little elated when he saw this scene.

In his opinion, these residents all represent: Contribution +1+1+1+1+1…

At this time, Finn walked directly to Brooke's side.

"Is there anything you want to ask me?" Brooke looked at the young boy in front of him and slowed down his tone.

In his opinion, this is still a child, even if this child is a little smarter.

The "troublemaking" just now actually helped him.

Looking at Brooke's gentle tone, Finn's opinion of him increased a little bit.

People who have returned before also said that the people in Hope Village are very nice and helpful.

Although he was a little skeptical, he would eventually remember it after listening to it many times.

"You said that you would benefit from attracting more people to Hope Village. If I can help you attract people to Hope Village, would that also be beneficial to you?" Finn asked, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Brooke didn't expect that this little guy would be so sensitive and bold.

Someone in the crowd must have thought of this, but no one asked Brooke. After all, they had to rely on others to leave, so how could they steal someone else's job? Besides, their biggest wish at the moment was to leave Barnes Village rather than make money.

But Finn is different. He is an orphan. All he thought about every day was how to survive, so naturally he didn't have much savings.

Now that he was going to move to a new place, he naturally wanted to have some savings, so he had to muster up the courage to find Brooke.

Seeing Finn's anxious look, Brooke said directly: "Once you arrive at Hope Village, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely have an income. Don't worry about not being able to survive. There are many jobs for ordinary people there."

Finn was surprised to hear Brooke say this, but he still insisted: "I still want to save some money."

If you have food in your hands, you will not be afraid.

He can't just think about relying on others.

Brooke immediately understood Finn's thoughts. It seemed that because Finn had been working hard to be independent and strong, everyone was willing to help him.

"Then go ahead and recruit people! I'll keep records then." Brooke made a promise.

Hearing this, Finn was delighted and continued to ask, "It doesn't matter who it is, right? As long as they are residents?"

"Yes." Brooke nodded.

"Thank you." After leaving these words, Finn happily ran in one direction.

Looking at the direction where Finn left, Brooke was stunned.

Is that... a slave camp?

The slave camp was not unfamiliar to Brooke. After every territorial war, if the residents of the other territory were captured by his side, the lord of his side would be qualified to take these residents as slaves.

Generally speaking, professionals are more valuable and will be taken in as residents, but ordinary people, if they do not have some special skills, will basically become slaves.

Most of the time, these slaves serve as cannon fodder in the next territorial war.

Brook had just threatened them with the same fate.

But he suddenly remembered that Hope Village did not have the habit of taking people as slaves.

During the last territory war, the Fassal Village was used as cannon fodder in the attack on Hope Village. In the end, they were captured and sent to prison. Soon after, they were stuffed into the road construction team to be free road construction workers. When their contribution is sufficient, they will be able to regain their freedom.

After being nervous for a while, those people quickly integrated into the Hope Village. Now they can join others in cursing the Fasal Village, and they curse more harshly than anyone else.

Hope Village really has a unique charm in winning people's hearts.

Thinking of this, Brooke smiled unconsciously.

If Finn succeeds, the slaves will also have a new life.

That was left to Finn, who continued to work his way through the crowd.

While Brooke continued his "mass" route, Finn had already quickly run to the slums in the territory.

The slum is not a separate territory, but just a small row of randomly built wooden houses near the estate in the territory's plantation area.

Slaves were not entitled to own private property and relied on the managers of the manor for food and drink, so the wooden house was extremely simple, with beds made of layers of straw.

In normal weather, they can survive living in such a place, but in extreme weather, some people will die.

At this time, many slaves were feeling fortunate that it had been a long time since the last special weather, and their lives had been much better during this period.

"Don't be lazy, work hard. If I come back and this farmland is not planted yet, you won't have any food tonight." After saying this, the manager of the manor left.

Don't expect them to be able to watch over you the whole day. They only need to issue the tasks and wait to come back at the right time. If they are not completed, it is the responsibility of these slaves.

After the manager of the manor left, Finn, who was hiding in the dark, sneaked out and went to one of the families with a clear goal.

"Frieda, Frieda..."

As he shouted, a dark-skinned girl came out from the crowd.

"Finn, why are you here?" The girl, Frieda, walked briskly to Finn's side and spoke nervously, but there was still a hint of joy on her face.

"I'm leaving Barnes Village." Finn said directly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Frieda's smile froze on her face.

The next moment, Finn continued: "I want to take you away with me."

Frieda was stunned when she heard this, but then she shook her head, "Impossible, we are the lord's private property..."

"You can escape."

"Where can we go if we escape? The slave marks on our bodies have not been removed, so no territory will accept us."

"Yes, there is a territory that will accept you!"

“…”

"That territory is Hope Village. It is now absorbing people from Barnes Village. I have asked their residents, and they want everyone from Barnes Village! If you come with me, you will be a resident there too." Finn said excitedly.

At this time, the slaves around were paying attention to what Finn said loudly without realizing it.

What did they hear?

Slaves can also become residents???

When Frieda heard these words, her eyes widened instantly, and she asked in disbelief what the others wanted to ask, "Really?"

"Really!" Finn said in a loud voice.

Then he looked at the slaves who were listening attentively and said again, "If you want to become residents, you can come with me!"

The slaves clenched their fists together and their hearts were pounding.

Crazy heartbeat.
