After a devastating battle, most of the Centaur tribes, which lost the chief and the main force, were captured, and more than two thousand centaurs were captured.

Among the prisoners in their early 20000, including more than 100 young and strong soldiers captured by Ouyang Jing, there were only more than 300 young and strong soldiers, and the rest were all old, weak, women and children.

This population ratio is in line with Ouyang Jing's needs, what he needs is a large amount of labor, not a strong warrior. With the talented physique of the centaur race, even the elderly, weak, women and children can become the best laborers in production and construction.

So when he fought against the main centaur led by Resling before, he waited until his Taurus and Centaur warriors killed Resling's main army to less than 200 people before he ordered the suspension of surrender.

According to the tradition on the grassland, all defeated tribes will be demoted to slaves.

The young and strong warriors will take on dangerous tasks such as suicide squads in battle as slave soldiers. If they can make enough contributions, they will have the opportunity to be promoted to civilians, even from slaves to generals.

Young women of the defeated tribe, including children, even if their husbands and fathers are still there, will still be assigned to the soldiers who have made meritorious service and become their private property by the lord of the victorious party.

As for the elderly... unless they are still strong or have a skill, they will be abandoned, give them a day's food and water, drive them away, and let them fend for themselves.

The rules are cruel. But since ancient times, this tradition has been on the grassland.

On the grassland without written laws and without a complete country, it is the traditional rules since ancient times that maintain the fragile order on the grassland, maintain the survival and growth of grassland tribes.

The battles between tribes have both extremely cruel sides and a hint of warmth.

The victorious side will not kill them all. It will even give the slave soldiers a chance to rise, and they will have the opportunity to become civilians, warriors, or even generals. After success and fame, they can redeem their wives and children.

The defeated party is willing to accept the loss. After being annexed, there will basically be no intention of rebellion, unless it annexes its own tribe and is once again annexed by a more powerful tribe.

Ouyang Jing likes this tradition very much.

This means that he doesn't need to spend too much effort to win people's hearts.

When the captured young soldiers, if they are given weapons, they will consciously fight for themselves, and rush to the forefront during the battle, consciously undertake the most dangerous combat tasks.

Women and children will not resist. Whoever they are assigned to, they will obediently follow the new master, husband, and father. When children grow up, they will also consciously safeguard the interests of the new tribe, work and fight for the new tribe.

There is only one thing that Ouyang Jing doesn't like it very much.

The elderly are also wealth. Even if they lose their ability to work and seem to have no skills, they will definitely accumulate rich experience and knowledge if they can survive on the grassland until they age.

It would be a waste to abandon them just because they could not work or fight.

Besides, respecting the elderly and loving the young has always been one of Ouyang Jing's basic moral values.

On the battlefield, I encountered a white-haired veteran, or even an adult child soldier. It would not violate his morality by slashing him with one knife. But outside the battlefield, I still have to provide certain protection to the elderly and children.

So when Elena screened out more than a hundred weak elderly centaurs and sent them food and water for a day, preparing to drive them away, Ouyang Jing stepped in to stop them.

"Let them stay."

He said: "I can still afford to raise more than a hundred elderly people. Let them help take care of the children or take care of the warehouse supplies first."

"Abide by the order, Your Highness the Son of God." Of course, Elena obeyed him and did not think about whether this was in line with tradition.

Although the other soldiers were a little confused about why the Son of God left these old men who could not work to waste food, they were still sincerely respectful to the Son of God's mercy.

And the more than a hundred old men who were about to be driven away but had already accepted their fate, bowed down to him with gratitude.

Although the other prisoners, due to the tradition since ancient times, cannot express any opinions on the elderly in their "front tribe" about to be driven away, it is impossible to say that they are not uncomfortable.

Most of the more than one hundred old people even have children and grandchildren. Looking at their father, grandfather is going to be driven away. Although this is a tradition, how can the children and grandchildren of the elderly ignore it?

Therefore, when seeing the new lord showing great mercy and leaving the old people behind, all the captives were very pleased and excited. When many of the old people's children and grandchildren knelt down to Ouyang Jing for gratitude, they even swear in their hearts that they must be loyal to the new master with all their hearts.

In this way, Ouyang Jing simply issued a normal order based on his own moral values, and inadvertently, he gained true loyalty from the bottom of his heart.

The post-war handling matters such as sheltering prisoners, cleaning the battlefield, burying the bodies, etc. were carried out in an orderly manner under the leadership of Gesar and Elena.

Of course, Ouyang Jing didn't need to worry about these trivial matters. After watching for a while, he returned to his two-story cottage and began to practice.

During the period of time he was stationed here, although he had to deal with many mundane affairs every day and took the soldiers to take turns to sweep away the evil creatures on the top of the cliff, hunt for sacrifices, and train troops in battle, but he did not let go of his practice.

He has completely given up the luxury of sleep. Every night, he has to practice all night. He has also grasped the fragments of time outside of mundane affairs, and has been fighting against time to strengthen himself.

Although this plane war requires him to vigorously develop his power, as a reincarnation person, his own strength is the foundation of everything.

After tempering his mental power, Elena's crisp voice came from outside: "Your Highness, are you free now?"

Ouyang Jing stopped practicing and said, "What's the matter?"

Elena said: "The captives have been all contained. According to tradition, the best spoils belong to you, and the rest of the spoils need to be presented and assigned to the meritorious soldiers."

The so-called spoils naturally refer to more than 1,700 prisoners besides the Qing Zhan heroes, as well as the more than 100,000 cattle and sheep, tents, cotton cloth, salt and oil brought by the tribe Reslin when it moved.

There is no gold, silver and jewelry.

On the grassland, gold, silver and jewelry are not as valuable as salt, cotton and iron.

"Captains, cattle and sheep are not distributed for the time being." Ouyang Jing said slowly: "Let's record the achievements of the soldiers for now. After returning, they will be converted into houses, land, tools, weapons and other materials."

It is far more efficient to allocate prisoners to various soldiers as slaves than to concentrate on production and construction.

As for cattle and sheep... Even if the tarots are good at pulling plows and plowing fields, ordinary oxen are indispensable.

After all, the role of the sage is not just about plowing the fields.

The sheep can also be raised collectively and opened a large ranch to continuously harvest wool, goat milk and mutton.

This is much more cost-effective than being eaten by the warriors who have no time to herd sheep and cattle after the distribution continues.

"Abide by the order, Your Highness, Son of God." Elena had no objection to this.

Ouyang Jing thought for a while and asked, "The soldiers will not have any objections to this distribution method, right?"

"Of course not." Elena smiled and said, "Houses, land, tools, weapons, are more valuable than cattle, sheep, and slaves. The warriors will only be happy, how can they have any opinions?"

"That's good." Ouyang Jing nodded and said, "As for cotton, salt and oil, you and Gesar will distribute it according to the merits of the soldiers."

"Yes, His Highness the Son of God."

Seeing Elena responding, she remained outside the door and did not leave, Ouyang Jing asked, "Is there anything else?"

Elena said, "Your Highness, Son of God, I have brought you the most valuable prisoner. Don't you see?"

"The most valuable prisoner?" Ouyang Jing smiled and said, "Bring it in."

The door was pushed open, and Elena led a horse... a centaur, and walked into the hall from the door with a door frame of 2.8 meters high.

Ouyang Jing looked up and saw that it was a horse with a black fur, shiny fur, like the best black satin, with slender four hooves but well-developed tendons, clear and smooth muscle lines, and a very powerful look... Well, Centaur.

The upper part of the body is a little beauty with long, shiny, long, straight hair, shiny black eyes, but her skin is as white as snow and as delicate as silk.

The blackness and snow-white form a sharp contrast, giving people a strong visual impact.

Her head was even a little taller than Elena, close to two meters and five meters. The delicate and smooth muscle lines of her arms and slender waist also gave people a strong and vigorous sense of strength.

Ouyang Jing even felt the breath of wind and lightning from her.

When Ouyang Jing examined this good horse, which was like the famous horse "black cone", which was a king of Western Chu, the little beauty also stared at Ouyang Jing without blinking, with her eyes quite resentful.

"She is..." Ouyang Jing asked Elena.

"She's name is Freya, and she is the sister of the fellow Resling."

Elena explained: "Three years ago, after their mother died, she followed Leslin from the golden tent and took their grand chief father to their tribes, cattle and sheep, to form her own tribe.

"In this battle, she was responsible for staying behind and guarding cattle and sheep. She was also a storm knight who mastered the power of wind and lightning, and her strength was comparable to mine. If I hadn't been much better than her equipment and had Gesar Shaman helping her, I'd probably let her run away.

"She is the most valuable spoil of our battle. According to the rules, she is now your slave to His Highness the Son of God. You can do whatever you want."

"Well." Ouyang Jing looked at the Storm Knight named Freya again and nodded with satisfaction: "Good black cone! It's just a pair with Elena, you are the sweaty and bloody horse. Elena, take her first and teach her my rules."

Elena was about to promise, but Freya suddenly said with anger: "What is the ability to rely on weapons and equipment? If I had good armor and bows, I might not lose to you! And you, a mere human noble, why should I be my master? Unless you defeat me with your own hands, don't think I will be your slave obediently!"

She stayed behind and did not see her brother with her own eyes, and was killed by Ouyang Jing.

With her strength that is not as high as four stars, she cannot detect Ouyang Jing's unfathomable aura.

Therefore, she thought Ouyang Jing was just an ordinary human aristocrat. He relied on his wealth and power to arm the Taurens and Centaurs with a large amount of steel, and defeated her tribe with few enemies and more.

In response, she expressed that one thousand people were unwilling to accept this, and ten thousand people were dissatisfied.
