Chapter 721 - The Underground City Needs Joelson! Everyone’s Helpless Pleas!
The successful captain of the guards, Nair, rode his tall and handsome horse to the place where he grew up.
The farmer's field was still as big as before, and the house for the serfs was still as shabby as before.
The only possibility of change was the farmer's house. The farmer couple's house had become more luxurious than before. Not only had it been expanded but the decorations and materials used on it were also much better than before.
The serfs saw a pair of tall and strong soldiers come to the outside of the manor. They hurriedly went in to report to the farmer couple in the house.
When the farmer couple heard the serfs' report, they initially did not want to come out. However, when they heard that the other party was wearing the royal armor, they hurriedly walked out of the house. They brought the serfs and respectfully welcomed the people from Joelson's group!
When the farmer couple came out and saw the face of Captain Nair, they were even more shocked.
The one who was shocked was not toward Captain Nair himself but the picture on Captain Nair's armor!
The armor on Captain Nair's body was carved with a majestic white bear head!
The serfs did not know what this carving represented but, as farmers, they were very clear about what this carving meant.
This carving meant that he was the captain of the royal guards!
It was the symbol of military power in the entire underground city!
When the farmer and his wife saw Captain Nair, they were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and offered their respectful blessings to Captain Nair.
"My great captain of the guards, may I ask what brings you to such a remote and desolate place?"
The farmer and his wife's terrified appearance made the captain of the guards laugh.
That's right, the farmer who had once bullied him was now afraid of his identity.
The captain of the guards was certain from their expressions that the other party did not recognize who he was.
In fact, that was indeed the case. The farmer's family had long forgotten the appearance of Captain Nair. At that time, Captain Nair was still young. Although their family had always remembered this grudge... However, the difference in the appearance of Captain Nair was still very big. They did not recognize him at all.
Compared to his appearance, there was another more important factor that affected their judgment.
That was, it was very difficult for them to associate that lowly little serf from that year with this guard captain in front of them!
In their eyes, lowly serfs would always be serfs. They would always be slaves wherever they went. They would never associate this guard captain who was riding a tall horse with the serf who had escaped back then.
The guard captain knew that they were purely afraid of their identity and not of their revenge after they returned!
Just his identity as a captain of the guards could make those people who distorted right and wrong and reversed black and white fear him so much. This made Captain Nair even more certain in his heart.
He must continue to climb up the ranks, step by step!
It was only enough to climb all the way to the top!
Captain Nair's heart turned silent.
Captain Nair's silence made the farmer couple feel a wave of fear in their hearts.
The guards were all military officers. Even if their small farm had many serfs, they would not be able to fight against the army no matter what!
Therefore, for the people in the army, meeting the farmer was like meeting a huge buffet treasury!
If they were a little more conscientious, they could rely on their status as an army and live free on the farm for a few days.
Normal guards would ransack the farm every time they passed by and use the farmer's wealth to fill their own pockets!
Normal guards were like this, not to mention the captain of the guards!
He could not even resist. If he resisted and attacked the captain of the guards, it would be treason!
According to the law, he would be sentenced to death!
The captain of the guards, Nair, looked at the farmer indifferently, causing his forehead to be covered with dense beads of sweat.
He knew clearly that the other party was definitely not a good person.
As expected, the captain of the guards, Nair, opened his mouth and asked for the whereabouts of Binger, his father.
The farmer honestly told him that he was just a lowly serf who committed an unforgivable crime many years ago and was executed by him.
The farmer naively pointed in the direction where Binger was buried for Captain Nair.
In a desolate wasteland, there were a few messy mounds of soil. One of them was the grave of Captain Nair's father.
The naive farmer had never thought that Guard Captain Nair was the lowly serf that he had been chasing after. He had dared to cripple his son's genitals.
Captain Nair looked at the mounds in the distance, his eyes indifferent.
In the next moment, Captain Nair took out his sword and slashed the damned farmer to death!
Then, Captain Nair waved his hand and summoned lightning, turning the farmer's family into ashes in the fastest way possible!
They didn't even have the chance to scream. Only the farmer's wife reacted and screamed. Then, she was directly turned into ashes by the lightning.
After taking revenge for so many years, Captain Nair felt relieved.
The goal that had allowed him to persevere to this point had been achieved but this made Captain Nair even more determined to continue to climb up the ranks, even though his father's revenge had been avenged. Even though his mother was now living in a big house and enjoying life.
But Captain Nair knew that to the king, these officials were just as lowly as serfs.
As long as they had an idea, they could still control their life and death at will.
The king still had the ability to smear the righteous into the unjust and put the wrong into the right.
Just like when he was bullied by the son of a farmer.
As long as there were people above who could control his life and death, Captain Nair had to keep climbing and rising.
It could be said that Nair's desire for the position of king was greater than everyone else's.
However, at this moment, Nair was only one step away from the position of king. As long as Nair nodded, he would be the king of the underground city!
As long as he nodded, Nair's lifelong wish would be fulfilled.
But Nair, the captain of the guards, was adamant in his refusal.
