Speaking of naval battles, Ashley's independent fleet defeated more than 70 ships with fewer ones, defeating more than 70 ships on the opponent with 50 ships, and it is also a second-rate independent fleet in the Imperial Navy sequence.

But this did not shock Verion. Even in his memory, the Nord Navy should have been blasted by the Imperial Fleet.

Because the Imperial Navy is the most powerful existence in the world.

So the decision to support Ashley in the Admiralty Parliament was a sign that he believed was enough support.

But if it is on the army, it will be different.

In the land battle between Nord and the Empire, the Empire always loses more than wins.

Nord's heavy-armed cavalry on the famous continent brought endless psychological shadows to the Imperial Army.

So when Verion saw such a group of people wearing Nord cavalry armor, Nord military horses under his crotch, and heavy cavalry as many as hundreds of people, his reaction would be even bigger than learning that Ashley killed an opponent's fleet.

Only by being hurt can you know how powerful the other party is.

In order to reverse the cavalry disadvantage of the Imperial Army, Emperor Mallor, with the huge domestic public pressure, negotiated peace with the Gatu tribe and punished the greedy aristocratic merchants on the border.

Therefore, I got the opportunity to trade war horse resources with the grassland people.

He prepared his troops and vowed to form an iron cavalry unit that could rival the Nord heavy cavalry.

Just like the simplest criterion for pirates to judge their strength is to see how many four-masted warships the other party has.

The strength of the army among countries is often measured by the size of heavy cavalry.

Although Verion was from the Admiralty, in his eyes, the totem warriors on Miluo Island and the heavy iron cavalry passing by were much more important than Ashley's independent fleet.

The warship fleet, the empire can take out one or two hundred ships at any time, and it doesn’t feel bad if it is consumed. It has a great family and a great business.

But the empire is too short of heavy cavalry troops that can fight and dare to fight.

"Are these captured Nord cavalry equipment?"

Verion asked Carl beside him.

Carl nodded, not denying it.

Verion was a little disappointed after understanding it. After all, he just had the equipment of Nord heavy cavalry and might not have the strength of the opponent.

Carl looked at his expression change, as if he noticed what he was thinking, and offered to take him to another place to visit.

“Where are we going?”

Ashley also rode on the horse and asked Carl with a frown.

The carriage convoy drove towards the depths of Miluo Island, and the dense forests on both sides were gradually replaced by sharp stone walls.

Ashley and Link have been familiar with each other for a long time, but have never been here.

"We are about to go to the characteristic area of ​​Miluo Island, labor reform camp: a camp for prisoners' labor reform."

Carl said the weird name Link explained, which made Ashley frown.

.

The further you walked, the sharp mountain walls closed, and finally came outside a camp surrounded by fences.

"Jon, it's me! Boss Link's order, take someone to visit."

Not long after Carl finished shouting, a team of Virgia defenders moved the fence away.

Then Jon arrived.

"I thought you all forgot me, this terrible place is too boring."

Jon started complaining as soon as he met.

After the war, Kenneth escorted a large number of Nord prisoners here.

As a newly opened iron ore mine on the island, there is extremely lack of manpower here.

Jon was arranged by Link to continue to be the leader of the labor camp and manage thousands of captured prisoners on the island.

Kenneth chatted with Jon for a long time in the exciting battle process, and Jon was so excited that he heard it. Unfortunately, Link made up his mind to let him be the head of the prison.

"Here, we use prisoners to monitor prisoners. As long as we ensure regular and fixed-point feeding every day, there will be no big problems."

Jon introduced, and led everyone to the cliffs on both sides.

There is an entrance that leads to the open-pit mine, which is closed inside, with only this entrance and exit. As long as Jon ordered people to look forward to it, he could control thousands of prisoners in the mine.

This is also the secret of why he was able to use a two hundred guard to manage such a large labor camp.

When I opened the pure iron door, the creaking sound of metal friction sounded.

This heavy iron door is designed to be opened only from the outside.

Verion followed into it, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

Inside is an open-pit mine in the shape of a funnel, with countless ragged prisoners pounding the mine layer on the stone walls.

Those who mine, transport, and transport equipment and materials perform their duties, and work diligently like ants in an ant nest.

Verion looked around and saw the Nords' face characteristics that made him know that these were indeed post-war prisoners.

But why are these soldiers on the battlefield so honest here?

The Imperial Prison that Verion knew, even in places where bandits and pirates were imprisoned, prison riots often occurred. It was common for guards to be killed, and some prisons even had more guards than prisoners.

"Are these Nord soldiers who have been captured recently?"

"Yes, thanks to them, otherwise this new mine would not be able to be developed yet."

Verion looked at the miners densely packed with mine pits and felt awe-inspiring. It seemed that the strength of Miluo Island should not be underestimated, and it must not be as simple as it appears.

“pia”

The sound of the calm Tie Qian digging a mine pit suddenly mixed with the sound of a whip whipping.

Everyone looked at the sound and found that it was a prisoner who looked like a supervisor and was whipping another prisoner with a whip.

"Don't you care?"

Ashley frowned and looked at the whipped prisoner who had fallen to the ground, his back was covered in blood.

Some of the miners around looked at it and continued to work expressionlessly.

Some of them gritted their teeth when they saw it, but they still did not resist and accumulated anger.

"The one who fell to the ground was a cavalry officer. He had no money to redeem himself, but he still needed the corresponding treatment of prisoners. As he wished, he was sent to labor reform.

Here is a prisoner self-government management model, which is distributed every day by mining volume. One quarter of the people are overeating, half of the people can eat enough, and the remaining one-quarter will have to go hungry."

"Where are those supervisors? They are also prisoners, which category does it belong to?"

Ashley asked, pointing to the prisoner who had stopped wielding his whip.

"They belong to the category of food that can be overeat."

"What exactly is this divided? Why can they manage other prisoners?"

Jon smiled:

"They can fight, and as long as they can beat other prisoners, they can be supervisors."

"Soons or later there will be problems. No one will let these same prisoners oppress you. Sooner or later, there will be riots in your prison."

Verion also frowned and expressed his opinion.

“Rusts are common, but what does it matter?

The dead supervisor union was replaced by a new supervisor and continued to help keep the mine.

Prisoners only hate the supervisors who oppress them.

No one cares about my guards.”

Jon learned what Link said to him and smiled at the people of the Empire:

"Here, guards and prisoners are never opposites, prisoners and supervisors are.

We provide food and all prisoners will only appreciate us, so this labor camp only needs two hundred guards.”

After hearing this, Ashley felt chilled. She didn't expect that there would be such a vicious plan to divide the captives who should have united.

Verion thought more deeply. These Nord soldiers who were originally the same country, the same camp, and even lived in the same area were able to be divided so much, using open conspiracy to force them to oppose each other, which really brought people's hearts to the depths.

As I thought about it, I couldn't help but look at the labor camp manager in front of me with admiration.
