Chapter 94 Selling People(1/2)
If it is cut in half, people will not die immediately.
Volker's scream echoed under the sky, and the sound of fighting on the entire battlefield could not be concealed.
Volker's upper half fell to the ground, blood gushed, and soon a pool of blood was accumulated on the ground.
Volk's upper body struggled and shouted in this blood pot, causing the eight or nine thieves following him to retreat in a terrifying manner and his morale dropped to freezing point.
Amilia turned around, her green eyes staring at the wolf, staring at the remaining thieves.
On the great sword in her hand, blood was gathering into a stream and dripping toward the ground.
There was a touch of blood on her snow-white cheeks, the corners of her eyes and cheeks, which made her beautiful face very murderous.
Behind her, five corpses fell to the ground; in front of her, Volker, who was still screaming, grabbed his five fingers deeply into the pool of blood.

"Puff--" A long arrow fell from the sky and shot into the thief's back.
Amilia didn't even look back, she knew that this was Ender's move.
What does it mean when Ander shoots the escaped thief? Of course he is unwilling to let the thief run away!
"Don't kill those who surrender!" Amilia shouted with emotion.
The battlefield is indeed a place to train people. If it were in the past, Emilia would not have yelled like this in order to maintain the demeanor of the young lady. But now, everyone has been killed all over the ground, and they still care about this?
If Amilia had ordered this just now, a girl's voice might not have such a shocking power.
But now, at least in this area, the thieves who saw Amilia taking a cruel action were very convinced by this sentence.
‘Ding Ding Dangdang’ swords, sticks, and even shields and spears were thrown to the ground by thieves.
"The surrenders all kneeled on the ground!"
Seeing that some thieves had not put down their weapons, Emilya issued an order again.
Some people kneeled down obediently, some turned around and ran away, and some stood there, neither throwing away their weapons nor kneeling down.
"Ah————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
With such a friendly demonstration, the thieves standing there quickly threw away their weapons and knelt down one after another.
Seeing this, Amilia's eyes rolled and she ordered the militia and servants who were following her: "You all shouted to me, 'The surrenderers kneel down and don't kill them!"
"The surrendered ones kneel down and don't kill them!" Emiliya's two servants reacted first and shouted.
"The surrendered ones kneel down and don't kill them!" Several militiamen also shouted.
"The surrendered ones kneel down and do not kill them!"
At the beginning, it was a bit uneven, but after everyone shouted twice, the more they shouted, the more they became, the more they became, the louder and louder they became.
The thieves knelt down one after another - the sword was coming, and those who did not kneel down died.
He was killed by Tligan and then expanded the battle by Corey. He was hit by Emilia again. In the distance, Ander had a long bow to control the field, and shot the thieves one of the first birds.
Under such continuous attacks, even regular soldiers with strict training may not be able to bear it. What's more, these thieves come from different thieves and are originally a mess.
Seeing that someone was kneeling down around him, many people also knelt down with the crowd; this way, the people who were still standing were particularly conspicuous.
After Ande shot and killed two thieves who were still standing, the thieves all knelt on the ground. Within a radius of 100 meters, no one dared to stand.
(Thieves Armor: It’s not that they don’t kneel, but that they are scared to their joints become stiff.)
(Thieves B: Damn, I was just confused and my reaction was a little slow. I was so unfair to die!)
This battle lasted about a quarter of an hour from Telligan's charge to the thieves kneeling down to surrendering.
Trigan sat on the horse's back, looking at the thieves kneeling down, and couldn't help laughing.
Corey and the soldiers behind him looked at me, and I looked at you, and couldn't help laughing loudly.
Just now, Tligan charged forward with the determination to die. He thought it was a tough battle, but it turned out to be so easy. Not to mention death in battle, there was not even a serious injury except for Corey and several soldiers who suffered some physical injuries.
With such a huge gap in the ratio of troops, it is naturally worth laughing about how to achieve such a battle record.
This is a way to vent the warriors who are accustomed to going through life and death. After the war, they use it to relieve stress and regulate their mental state. This is definitely the most slightest way to relieve stress. It is only when everyone is basically unharmed that they will be so relaxed. Just laugh a lot.
——————————
From the afternoon to the evening, Telligan requisitioned most of the houses and village offices in the village, and finally settled the prisoners.
As for the original villagers in the village?
They were not treated as a thief's accomplices because the village did not have Teligan's fiefdom. In order to avoid the suspicion of plundering the village, Teligan expressed his grace beyond the law.
The corpses outside the village reminded these villagers not to act rashly - of course, Tligan also concentrated the villagers on the east side of the village, and the west side of the prisoners, separated by the largest main road in the village. Soldiers patrolled this road. If anyone dared to cross this world, they would treat them as thieves as a thief.
The thieves and prisoners were even hungry and didn't even eat supper - this was not only to save food, but also to reduce the physical strength of the prisoners so that they could not rebel.
In the evening, the village chief's house was requisitioned, and Tligan gathered Corey, Ander and Emilia to discuss the next move.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with Amilia, but in today's battle, Amilia performed really well, which made Trigan and Cory look at each other. In addition, the two misunderstood the relationship between Amilia and Ender, so they accepted her.
The flames jumped in the fireplace, and the flames shone on the faces of the four people, bringing out a swaying shadow.
"We were so many prisoners that we were held back and could not leave at all, and now we don't have enough money to reward the warriors." Telligan knocked on the table and said in annoyance.
Today's battle was a complete victory, and the entire army of thieves was captured before one of our own side could be said to be a prominent victory - military merits must be rewarded, which is an iron rule that even the king cannot violate.
But now the problem is coming. Thirty-three people have already struggled to take care of 154 prisoners in this village. They want to take these prisoners to dig up the treasure house? That's really too much.
If you don’t dig out the treasure house, where can you get the money to reward the warriors?
"What should I do? You can't kill them all?" Corey said angrily.
The war was very happy, but the subsequent handling was definitely a troublesome thing. In the past, when he fought under Baron Leicester, he naturally didn't have to worry about these broken things, but now he is one of the bosses, so who cares about him?
"It is impossible to kill, killing the surrendered captives is a serious crime." Telligan shook his head and set his mind down.
In this world, large-scale killing will definitely attract the attention of God, especially death is not the end, and the souls of the thieves will definitely go to their kingdom of faith in God, and they cannot hide it even if they want to.
"Uncle Trigan, killing cannot be killed, and then letting go cannot be released. Why don't we send someone back and ask Baron Leicester to deal with it? You can also report a military merit." Ender thought for a while and suggested.
"This cannot be considered a military merit." Telligan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Ender: "?"
Corey added: "If we were performing the tasks assigned by Lord Baron, it could naturally be considered a military merit; but this time we came out to do our own business, Lord Baron would not pay for this battle."
‘The lord’s lord is not my lord’ – this is the essence of the feudal system.
Therefore, the soldiers under the three of them would not recognize Baron Leicester as the lord. They fought for Trigan, Corey and Ander. Baron Leicester certainly had no obligation to reward these soldiers.
Ender shook his head and shut his mouth. His understanding of the world was still shallow.
"We can sell them." Seeing that the three men were at a loss, Amilia spoke.
"?" The three of them looked at Amilia together.
Slavery was explicitly prohibited in the Convention of the Gods a thousand,100 years ago.
God needs faith, and in this world with God, there are very few true unbelievers. Capturing slaves will almost certainly capture believers of God. One or two believers. God may not care much about it, but large-scale capture of slaves will 100% touch a certain God's cheese.
What's more, slaves are easily material for blood sacrifices, and those who need blood sacrifices are all demons and even evil gods, which are difficult for even the gods to monitor - the souls of the deceased will be collected by evil gods and demons, and there is no chance to complain to the Kingdom of God.
As early as a thousand years ago, in the late stages of the mainland war, the gods made a joint decision and did not allow slavery to continue.
Amilia knew what they were thinking, and she waved her hand and continued: "According to the laws of the kingdom, the debtor should do everything possible to repay the debt, and the creditor can sell the debt. We can let the prisoners compensate us for our losses."
Trigan, Corey and Ander were both confused - what is this saying? Is it related to the warriors?
You should know that if these people become war captives, they have been washed and peeled off. Apart from the difficult clothes on their bodies, they will be frozen to death, there is no copper plate on their bodies?
Let them compensate for the losses, what should these poor and innocent thieves pay for?
"Mr. Tilligan, the knight is captured and has to pay the ransom, right?" asked Amilia.
"Of course, not only knights, but also nobles can use ransom to save their lives."
This is the privilege of the nobles. In addition to territorial wars, which are like life-and-death duels, the mortality rate of the nobles is actually very low.
"What about ordinary soldiers?" Amilia asked again.
Trigan thought for a while and replied, "If possible, the lord will redeem them with money. If there is really no money to redeem them, these people can legally become the other party's leaders - but no one will pay the ransom for these thieves."
"That means that these people are of some value and can at least become leaders." Amilia asked.
"Which fool would ask thieves to be his own conqueror?" Trigan laughed.
After laughing for a while, Telligan's voice gradually lowered. Because he found that Corey, Emilia and Ander were looking at him together, as if he was looking at a fool.
"Uh--" Tligan suddenly remembered that the village that the Baron gave him was very suspicious of a thief nest, and he felt that he had picked up a big advantage.
"Mr. Tilligan, there are so many people who have been named Lords and Knights this time, where do they lead the people to find them?"
"Yes, this idea is good!" Corey slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.
In the past, Leicester had only one territory, with a large population, and even hundreds of families were in a village. No one thought it was a problem to be the one who led the people.
But now that the three territories have been annexed, the knights and lords of the new feudal states only have land and no one to conquer the people.
Except for some confidants who hope to follow these knights and lords, who would have given the good days of Leicester's leadership, but to suffer in those newly opened territories?
