In total, thousands of human prisoners and a large number of war horses, weapons and armor were captured in this battle. By the way, the belated arrival of the Sherpa family's baggage team was also taken over.
According to the practice of the Aegean continent, every captive can be exchanged for freedom with a ransom. In other words, it is all money.
But what slightly made Liu shocked was that most of these human captives were servants and mercenaries. The servants were all slaves, and no one would pay to redeem them. Those who were loyal to the Sherpa family
The knights must be valuable, but they resisted the most fiercely, and many of them were killed, leaving very few left. Moreover, the two magicians were not able to catch them all. Master Fran was a space magician, a "Kohler"
The "Escape Technique" was used, and the person ran away long ago; the fire magician Ortega did not have such good luck. He only made one move at the hands of the fairy dragon, and was captured alive together with the Earl who fell from the sky.
Every gain must come with a loss, and Fei Lengcui's loss this time was also not small.
It took Liu Zhanzhen two full days to take custody of the prisoners, bury the corpses, and count the trophies before it was basically completed. The fire on the red soil slope had not yet stopped.
The more Ningyu counted the data, the more troublesome he felt.
That night while having dinner in the lord's hall built in a bamboo shed, Ning Yu worriedly reported the current problems to Liu Zhensha.
"Insufficient food is a big problem."
"When the fire started, I thought about this problem." Liu Zhensha also felt a little scratched his head.
Before this battle, no one expected that the other side would come to "burn the red soil slope". Before crossing the river, everyone only packed some small items and set out on the road. The herds of shamans, fat antelopes, ponies, and deer were all relatively large.
They were kept in a large animal pen behind the high slope. Now they had great fun. Not only were they all served in a pot, but they also brought along the salted fish and vegetables dried on the high slope and the grain stored in the cave dwelling.
"Although after this battle, we obtained a lot of war horses and the Sherpa family's baggage vehicles, the income is still far less than the consumption. Another very annoying problem is that these slave catchers have a plundering heart.
He came here with his heart in mind and did not carry any coins with him at all. Although Fei Lengcui won the battle, he was unable to collect any cash from the captives." Ningyu calculated the accounts one by one, "We need big money now.
Pens of money were used to purchase food.”
"Didn't we capture a large number of war horses?" Avril asked strangely.
"There is nothing wrong with short-term consumption, but it is definitely not good for long-term consumption. Horse meat is too pungent. If it is not paired with vegetables and grains, and it is eaten as a staple food for a long time, it is easy to get sepsis." Elder Andulan rejected this idea.
"There are only 1,200 Feilengcui's people, and there are more than 1,000 captives. It is not economical to just rely on war horses to satisfy their hunger. A well-trained and qualified war horse can be worth several thousand dollars in the human world.
A hundred gold coins or even worth tens of thousands of gold coins, it just doesn't make sense to use it to fill your belly." After all, she was from Fox, and Helen's eyes suddenly turned yellow.
"Hurry up and exchange these captured trophies for gold coins to buy food at Withers Chong." Helen said cheerfully.
"If you want to rebuild Feileng Cui, I'm afraid the money may not be enough." Fairy Long Daisi pondered for a moment and said, "'Earth Fire Burns the City' is also called 'Three Days of Fire.' This magic scroll is a standard war-type forbidden spell.
Magic. It uses magical power to absorb the fire from the center of the earth to participate in attacks. It is a very powerful fire magic. It is powerful enough to destroy one-eighth of Witherspoon, the largest city in the Northeast Province. This magic is the most insidious.
The place is—even a stone castle, under the three-day burning of this magical flame, will eventually be burned into pieces."
Fairy Dragon's words made everyone's hearts suddenly become heavy.
It's been two days.
Not only did the magical flames on the red clay slope show no signs of extinguishing, but it actually burned more and more intensely. The outline of the Sleeping Beauty on the entire red clay slope was no longer clearly visible. As far as the eye could see, there were only twisted fire waves, jumping flame elves and
The flying fire flakes dissipated. The only landmark that could barely be seen was the stone statue embedded in the middle of the red soil. Under the ravages of the flame elves, the stone statue had turned into a fiery red and transparent color. In the red soil
The sand and enamel turned into a flowing glass-like liquid, flowing quietly along the face and body of the statue.
If it really burns for three days, the stone that the fairy dragon said can also be burned. It seems that it is not just talking.
"Can summoning the 'Heavy Rain Technique' extinguish this fire?" Avril rolled up her sleeves and took out the magical bamboo tube. This bamboo tube made of bamboo roots immediately attracted the attention of the fairy dragon.
"Hot and cold stimulate each other and break faster." Liu Zhenshao shook his head.
"Then our home is just gone?" The bamboo shed was very simple, and Helen could see the blazing emerald red earth slopes at a glance.
Her eyes were moist.
Helen's words are the sentiments of almost all the people of Feilengcui. No matter who it is, seeing their home being devoured by fire and being unable to do anything but stand by, they always feel uncomfortable.
O'Neal turned to the side and quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.
"That's not necessarily true. Our Feilengcui is a red earth city. After this fire, maybe it will be a blessing in disguise. Humanity may give us a fortress with copper walls and iron walls this time." Liu Zhenzhen gave us a free and easy smile, "Everything is possible.
We have to look at the pros and cons first. Even if we get to the point that Daisy said, as long as we still have our hands, Feileng Cui will never disappear."
"A fortress with iron walls? Richard...are you stimulated by something?" Helen touched Liu Zhenshao's head with concern.
"Forget it... Let me tell you, I can't explain it all at once." Liu Zhancheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Don't mention it, it feels different to have a man in the house at this time." Instructor Cui Beiqian said with a smile, "Although I know that Richard is playing Boer, I feel a lot more at ease all of a sudden."
This statement made everyone laugh.
Liu Zhensha also laughed.
I play Boer? If you are like me, you will not think so after seeing the big kiln for burning bricks in the production team. Liu Daguan said in his heart.
"By the way, why do you want to stop Gude from exterminating rats? If this continues, the pandas' favorite food, the Buddha's Belly Bamboo Forest, will also be destroyed!" Ningyu asked.
The heat wave transmitted by the blazing magical flame elves on the high red soil slope through the geothermal heat has already roasted the branches and leaves of the plants within half a mile of Feilengcui without any sound. The cypress banana and Buddha belly bamboo in the red soil square
All the water was evaporated and turned into the shape of a century-old Populus euphratica in the desert.
It would be fine if the mammoths' food, the cypress, was destroyed. At least, the lord still had the fountain of life and the cypress tree seeds. But misfortune never comes singly, the pandas' favorite food, the Buddha's Belly Bamboo Forest, also had problems.
Ever since the high red soil slope turned into a volcano, the guinea pigs within half a mile seemed to have been severely stimulated, going crazy and gnawing at the roots of the remaining bamboo forests. Every night, as soon as the surrounding people were quiet, they would gnaw at the roots of the remaining bamboo forests like crazy.
The "rustling" sound of chewing bamboo roots was eerie.
Pan Shuai and the panda warriors once dug up the surface of some bamboo forests to check. In the deep soil, small rat paths were filled with chewed bright yellow bamboo chips. Although the Buddha Belly Bamboo Forest is three to four meters wide,
A hundred acres in area. But with the desperate gnawing behavior of these guinea pigs, I am afraid that in another half month, this bamboo forest will escape the fate of being dried by the geothermal heat, but it will not be able to escape the ravages of these rats.
Gude and the pandas wanted to kill the rats, but were stopped by Liu Zhenzhen. Not only Ningyu wanted to know why, but everyone was actually a little confused.
"These guinea pigs were so stimulated by the fire that they went crazy. These poor little beasts, don't worry, their bellies are only so big, how much can they chew? I was going to clean them up, but I decided to let them go for a while.
"Oh my god..." Liu Zhencheng gave up, "You will understand in a few days. Maybe all our food is on these little beasts."
When it comes to food, everyone's eyebrows are knitted together again.
"It would be nice if this battle took place in autumn." Ningyu sighed.
If it is autumn, the reindeer herds on Tanggula Peak will just come down the mountain at this time. If the weather does not get cold, the Sanggan River will not freeze, and you can fish without ice. If it is autumn, you can pick wild vegetables. If you save the money to buy food
, even if the red clay slope is burned down, there will still be sufficient funds to rebuild a stone castle.
There is nothing now. If we only rely on the guinea pigs in the bamboo forest, Feilengcui's current population is over 1,200 people. Adding in the captives, it is really a bit scary.
"They all said don't worry. Lord, I have a clever plan!" Liu Zhenshao comforted everyone again.
Liu Zhenzhen recalled that his mother had told him about a strange thing that happened in the bamboo forest in his hometown in 1960 during the country's difficult period. That strange thing had saved countless people's lives.
The fairy dragon frowned and stared at the lord who was deep in thought. She was a little worried that the lord would take advantage of the Razor Mountain goblins. Most of them were old, weak, women and children. If they robbed their food in winter, these goblins would be dead.
"Don't worry! I have already admitted that the Razor Mountain goblins are my people. How can a lord steal the food of his own people?" Liu Zhanzhen could see what this little hoof was thinking at a glance.
"Sir, what about the human prisoners? How to deal with them?" Bellamy swiped his long golden hair and said, "Especially those mercenaries, they are not good people. There is no door in the underground kiln to imprison them.
It’s not very effective. Now there are people escaping every night, and I’ve cut down several of them. They don’t even think about who can escape under the eyes of the mastiffs in the wilderness!”
"Where's Vieri?" Liu Zhenzhen asked, "Didn't I ask him and Carew to coordinate the management of these prisoners? Why did this happen to you? You have worked hard enough cleaning the battlefield. Where are the others? How do you eat?
Haven’t seen him either?”
"It's winter now. Vieri is a bear man. Although he doesn't need to hibernate, he must sleep a little longer. It's too difficult for you to let him guard the captives." Ningyu reminded her lover in a low voice.
.
"How could I forget about this?" Liu Zhancheng stuck out his tongue, "By the way, where is the Bat-man traitor? I have been busy dealing with miscellaneous matters these past two days, and I haven't had time to deal with and interrogate these prisoners yet."
"The magician and this count are under the strict supervision of our militia. He and the magician have been clamoring to see you, but I asked them to give up the idea." Goode's fist clenched and made a loud noise.
"To be honest, I am very interested in knowing that Behemoth from the bat tribe can become a prince-in-law in a human principality." Liu Zhencheng picked up Katyusha who was running around, waved his hand, and signaled that this person should be taken away.
Two prisoners were brought over.
The looks of Count Totti and Master Ortega obviously have nothing to do with the noble magician and the prince-in-law.
Looking at the two human beings tied to the big wooden stakes, Liu Zhencheng looked up and down for a long time, and then he could barely tell that it was the two of them from their bruised and swollen appearance.
"Two distinguished friends, please allow me to say good evening first." Liu Zhenzhen pulled out the wooden wedges from the mouths of the two humans and said politely.
"How can you be so rude to a noble magician! Lord Beamon! You are so unchivalrous!" Master Ortega was so excited that he coughed up a mouthful of bloody sputum, "I...cough cough
...Demand redemption of myself!"
"Let's talk about it later." Liu Zhenzhen smiled and pinched Master Ortega's face.
Guoguo flew in on a parrot, laughing all the way. The macaw landed on Mr. Magician’s shoulder, and pecked the master’s earlobe with its hooked beak.
"Silly b~silly b~" the macaw said to the master in a strange voice.
This was another sentence it learned with great difficulty when the lord made his declaration the night before yesterday.
The faces of the girls in the bamboo shed all turned red at the comments, and Master Ortega almost went into shock on the spot.
Next to him, Count Toti tried his best to open his swollen eyelids and stared at Liu Zhenshao firmly.
"Where are your wings?" Liu Zhencheng circled him three times and finally found a small black ball curled up from the shoulder blades exposed by his torn clothes. Guoguo jumped over and pushed the black ball hard.
The ball stretched out again.
"We can make a deal." Count Totti stared at Liu Zhensha, sweat rolling down his face - Guoguo's hand was not light.
"Shut up, traitor!" Upon hearing this, Gotani immediately drew her sword angrily, "If it wasn't for you Warren Boer and the humans to attack our Bode tribe in the air battle in Tennessee, how could there be only two of our Bode tribe left!
"
"Miss, don't make any mistake. The blood flowing in my blood is not all the blood of the Warrenpol tribe. I am just a hybrid of bat and human." Count Toti said calmly.
"Mixed blood?" Liu Zhenzhen rolled his eyes.
"I'm afraid there are no pure-blooded bat-men now." Count Toti sighed, "Even if we are mixed-bloods, the St. Paul's Church has been hunting them down."
"A few days ago, I caught a guy who claimed to be the younger brother of Dolot's consort. He said his name was Cassano. Do you have this younger brother?" Liu Zhenzhen asked.
"Yes, Cassano is indeed my brother." Count Totti nodded and admitted.
"Then why can't he fly into the sky like you?" Liu Zhenzhen couldn't understand. Before that wimp was "planted as a lotus", he had never shown any of his bat-human racial abilities.
"Some people who are hybrids of bats and humans will never 'awaken' throughout their lives. Only those who are 'awakened' can have the racial abilities of bats." Count Toti said, "Neither my brother nor my father have it.
Awakening. Currently, the only ones in the family who have been 'awakened' are me and my uncle, the Prime Minister of the Duchy of Dolot, the Marquis Capello."
"He..." Although Master Ortega next to him was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. I didn't expect that the prime minister of a human principality, under one person and above ten thousand people, would actually be Behemoth.
"I didn't expect that the Sherpa family we have done business with for so many years is actually a bat-man." The beautiful snake instructor smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Kill him!" Gotani's long sword shook out a cloud of silver flowers.
"Don't kill me! Leave me in the Principality of Humanity and continue to harm mankind!" Count Toti twisted his body desperately and said in a hurry, "We bats are also Behemoths! Show mercy! Let me go!"
The human kingdom. I will continue to harm them, humans!"
"That's interesting." Liu Zhenhan's eyes lit up, and he flicked Gotani's long sword, "Continue, traitor. You have aroused the flame of my desire."
"Our family has been planning for the position of Grand Duke Dolot for a long time! Grand Duke Dolot was actually given a colorless and odorless chronic toxin by my uncle and I, which made him bedridden and about to die!" Count Toti
He said through gritted teeth.
Master Ortega was a magician enshrined in the palace. Hearing these words, his eyes were full of fear and he stared at the count.
"I can understand what you're doing." Liu Zhensha nodded, "But, is it none of my business?"
"If my wife becomes the Grand Duke of Dolot, I will be the future regent of Dolot! Then I can help the Behemoth Kingdom more generously. I can add more weapons shops in the Behemoth Kingdom! I..."
"Shut up!" Liu Zhencheng pinched the earl's chin, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.
"It doesn't matter if you are bad." Liu Zhancheng sneered, "But you have to be bad enough to have the backbone. If you dare to do bad things, you have to dare to do it. You are bad enough, but you are just not bad at all. You are so bad that people want to kill you.
You idiot, who do you think I am? I will let you go just by saying a few words from you?"
"I'm telling the truth." Count Toti argued desperately, "As long as you grab me as a handle, can I escape from your grasp? As long as you spare my life, Dolot will actually belong to Beamon from now on.
Territory!”
"Richard..." The beautiful snake instructor stood up but hesitated to speak.
Dolot is connected to the entrance of the Karimuda Plain. It has been a thousand years! The word "returning to the Karimuda Plain" is so hot! Even if King Behemoth is here, the temptation is too exciting.
.
Even Robbie, who hated these human plunderers the most, his eyes suddenly turned fiery.
Gotani was also stunned.
"Everyone, with the strength of our Behemoth Kingdom, it is simply impossible to counterattack the Karimda Plain." Liu Zhencheng smacked his lips and slowly shook his head.
"If I become the regent, I will make the Kingdom of Beamon and the Principality of Dolot officially become trading countries. By then, if you want to go to the Karimda Plain, you will be able to do so without any hindrance! Think about it! Karim
What a plain! Behemoth's holy mountain Hyjal! There are still huge stone statues and totem poles of the God of War Campas there!" Count Totti obviously knew what he should say now. As soon as he said his words, not one of the Behemoths present there
His breathing can still remain normal.
Although a thousand years have passed, the hostility of most human countries to Beamon has never subsided. Even in terms of economy and trade, they have been blocking the Kingdom of Beamon. Dolot, a vassal state of the continental power San Francisco Empire,
It also blocked the eyes of all those yearning for the holy mountain Hyjal.
Pilgrimage to the Holy Mountain~~God of War! In the entire Behemoth Kingdom, only the "Sacrifice Legend" Mourinho has had this experience. Unfortunately, he is the only one in Behemoth who has a flying monster.
After hearing this, Helen's hands started to tremble a little.
"It's an offer I can't refuse." The beautiful snake instructor let out a long breath.
"Wait a minute!" Ningyu stood up, walked to the count and said in a deep voice, "There are many prisoners here who know your true identity. Even if we let you go, I'm afraid you will have to face religious problems once you go back.
The verdict of the Inquisition? The stake? Or the crucifixion?”
"You can choose not to let these people go," Count Toti said calmly.
"There is also a magician who also escaped. This matter cannot be covered up at all." Ningyu said again.
"Master Fran and my uncle have known each other for many years. And you should also know that the magician is an atheist..." Count Toti pulled his ragged lips and showed a proud smile, "As long as you let me go back, you can do anything.
not a problem."
"Don't forget that Dolot is not only your consort, but also the Danze family." Fairy Longdaisi also intervened.
"The heavy-armed scythes I hired are from the tornado mercenary group of the Danze family. You should also know that the mercenaries have the habit of carrying carrier pigeons with them. Since a week after entering the wasteland, I have not concealed this.
The purpose of coming to Feilengcui this time. Of course, due to the military meeting, I have no way to hide it. I don’t believe that these heavy-armed scythes did not inform their masters of the true situation.” Count Toti said with full expression.
He said in a seductive tone, "As long as I am defeated and return to Dolot. Think about it, as long as I spread the word that Feileng Cui's beauty is unparalleled in the world, what will the Danze family do?"
"I'm afraid that the Danze family is already preparing, or is already on the way. Maybe the Danze family is planning to intercept and kill you on the way." Fairy Long Daisi tightened her cloak and sneered, "You humans can't do these things.
More beautiful than anyone else."
"You're so right! Beautiful lady, your wisdom is as dazzling as a champagne! Defeat them! Just like you defeated us!" The earl's eyes narrowed into slits and suddenly widened, "The emerald green ones are
How strong the military power is! Now you still have enough time to call for help! The 'Tornado' mercenary group only has 10,000 people. This is in the Behemoth Kingdom, and you have enough troops to kill them all! In that case, Dolot
It’s me… no… I’m the one in the palm of the Behemoth Kingdom!”
Master Ortega was completely collapsed and kept shaking his head. He seemed to have aged fifty years.
Under such conditions, among all the prisoners, no one has any hope of survival.
Master Ortega did not believe that Beamon would refuse such conditions.
The bamboo shed suddenly fell into silence.
"Although it is said that all the prisoners in this battle should belong to you, this matter is of great concern! It must be reported to the temple, and it will be decided by the temple." Cui Beixian thought for a long time, and quietly leaned into Liu Zhencheng's ear.
He said softly. A soft fragrance tickled Liu Zhenzhen's ears.
"You have such a powerful mouth." Liu Zhencheng clasped his temples with both hands and gave a thumbs up to Count Toti, "The Warrenpool tribe has survived for a thousand years and yet has not become extinct.
He does have his own way."
"I will not treat you badly. In return, I will compensate you with a large amount of gold coins in the future. And I will also open weapons shops and other workshops in Feilengcui, many, many workshops. You and I, my lord, will
, do business together!" Count Totti continued to seduce.
The blockade policy of all human countries has always been the biggest problem constraining the Behemoth Kingdom, so that some human merchants who run single gangs are also very happy in the Behemoth Kingdom.
If this count can really become the regent of the Duchy of Dolot, there will be no problem in doing so. If this promise is truly fulfilled, the trade volume of the Behemoth Kingdom will also increase significantly. This is the national strength of the Behemoth Kingdom.
It will be a huge boost. In fact, there is no need for an open policy. We just need to reach an agreement with each other in private, no longer strictly control businessmen, and eliminate banditry. Then there will definitely be a large number of businessmen traveling between the two countries.
Similarly, the Sherpa family has definitely not suffered any loss. Trade is a win-win situation, with both parties benefiting from it.
This Count Toti, the descendant of the great traitor Bat-Man, what he said today is something that all Behemoths dream about.
"There is no reason to refuse." Even the fairy Long Daisi pursed her beautiful lips and slightly nodded: "There is really no reason to refuse."
Fairy Dragon’s words speak to the sentiments of many people.
"Tomorrow I will ride a flamingo and go around the wasteland to see if the Danze family has really entered the wasteland." Liu Zhenshao shook his head again. He found that he had shaken his head many times tonight.
"What should I do?" The three boss ladies all stared at Liu Zhenshao.
"What do you think, Robbie?" Liu Zhenshao noticed the awkward priest, "You have the deepest hatred for them. As long as Robbie tells me to do something, I will do it. I don't care about the temple or other people."
"I..." Roberto Baggio's eyes flickered uncertainly. But one thing is certain, that is, he was moved.
"I know what to do." Liu Zhensha straightened his collar, patted Robbie on the shoulder, turned around and said with a smile, "Good..."
Pan Shuai immediately stepped forward, his mountain-like physique casting all shadows over Count Toti.
The count's face suddenly lost all its proud glory and all color.
"Yes! Kill him!" Master Ortega shouted from the side.
"Wait a minute." Gotani pressed Pan Shuai's broad shoulders.
"Our compatriots also have a group of harpies and a group of Boer tauren living in the dark underground world of the Karimdor Plains. We need a safe passage to rescue them. And Dolot is this
The door to the safe passage." The beautiful swan girl said coldly, "It is not necessarily a bad thing to let such scum and traitors harm mankind."
Liu's shocked eyes glanced around. Helen and Cui Bexi's eyes were eager, and O'Neill's eyes were full of desire.
"This prisoner is taking advantage of us." Liu Zhenshao said.
"Such use is unstoppable," Cui Beixian said.
"To be honest, my heart was actually moved." Liu Zhenzhen smiled, "I don't know why, when I thought of opening up a safe land road, I thought of saving the Behemoth compatriots living in the dark underground world.
Come out, my heart and my blood are boiling. Oh...and the holy mountain of Hyjal!"
"I am also a priest!" Liu Zhenzhen let out a long sigh.
Priest? Master Ortega and the Count were dumbfounded.
This guy charged into battle and swept through thousands of armies. He was actually a Behemoth priest who was famous for his weak body? The minds of the two humans were in a state of confusion.
"If you can do all this, you will be a great hero among Beamon!" Gotani gave the lord a rare smile.
"Let's think about it in the long term." Liu Zhancheng took out a cigar, "Fei Lengcui is still a piece of duckweed in the huge waves. Mentor, you go back to the temple tomorrow and secretly report this matter to the Great Shaman Wei'an.
Robbie, I will send you back to the salt-alkali forest tomorrow and help me gather some volunteers... God of War, once this decision is made, the war in Feilengcui will be reignited!"
"No problem." Robbie and the beautiful snake instructor both nodded solemnly.
Liu Zhensha shook the cigar in his hand, and Ge Tani immediately took out the flint and helped Liu Zhensha light the cigar.
"This is the choice of a wise man." Count Toti smiled happily, "Can you put me down now, my lord?"
"Pan Shuai..." Liu Zhenzhen stretched his neck and took a puff of smoke into his stomach.
Goode stood at attention.
"Three ribs." Liu Zhenzhen breathed out a string of smoke rings comfortably.
In Count Toti's dazed eyes, Pan Shuai punched him in the ribs. The punch was not very forceful, but there was still a muffled cracking sound of bones.
"Hoo..." The count's mouth opened wide, but he could only moan like a dying cat.
"Don't be surprised." Liu Zhenzhen flicked the cigar ashes in the earl's open mouth.
"It's one thing to agree to your conditions. But it's another thing if I want to beat you." Liu Zhenhan said.
Just as the count was about to say something, Pan Shuai punched him again.
