Chapter 433: Disposing of the Prisoners
The ears were filled with continuous system prompt sounds, although these sounds sounded very pleasant, but the rush of brains was that Murong Feng was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly turned off the system prompt sound, and then another reward came belatedly, Murong Feng was immediately enveloped by the dazzling upgrade golden light, and it lasted for more than ten seconds before gradually dissipating!
"I actually went up 7 levels in a row in one go! Skipping the level to fight the boss is really experienced! It's just a little too tiring, and after this fight, I feel like I'm about to fall apart! Murong Feng rubbed her eyes that were almost blinded, and then her abdomen let out a gurgling protest sound, Murong Feng flew towards the spaceship parked next to her with a wry smile, and as soon as her feet stepped into the wide open hatch, she was greeted by two rows of neat salutes!
"Welcome! Checkmate! ”
Murong Feng returned the salute with a smile and said loudly: "Without your heroic assistance, I would not have been able to defeat this powerful boss!" After your merit has been reviewed by the General Staff, I will give you a double reward in my personal name! ”
Nothing is more motivating than a reward of real money, and for a while, all the officers and soldiers on the spaceship were thunderous with joy and shouted: "Long live the Moon Immortal Goddess!" ”
Returning to Tongtian Peak in a spaceship, he saw countless Wing Clan warriors happily cleaning up the battlefield. When these Wing Clan soldiers saw Murong Feng hanging the head of the Raven Commander on the banner, the cheers of victory immediately resounded throughout the camp.
"You're in luck! The guy's head outside takes your place! Murong Feng sat on the handsome seat and stared at Kodra, who was escorted in front of him, regardless of her angry look, and directly ordered Astali: "Escort her back to Lord Ashtivi to deal with her." ”
Astari stood up helplessly. He bowed down and said, "Yes." Priest of the Moon Shadow. ”
Murong Feng waved his hand and asked people to take Ke Deresa down. Then he continued to order: "Order, reward the three armies, the army will rest in place for the night, and tomorrow will be triumphant." ”
"Yes, General!" A group of Wing Clan generals stood up one after another and happily accepted the order.
Aurel then came out and asked, "Priest of the Moon Shadow, what about those Raven captives?" ”
Murong Feng said indifferently: "Kill them all!" ”
"What! Killed? The faces of everyone in the tent changed drastically, and Aurell hurriedly reminded, "Priest of the Moon Shadow, that's more than 5,000 captives!" ”
"I know." Murong Feng said lightly: "But we don't have so much food to waste on these captives. And we have only four thousand troops. If something happens to these 5,000 captives, it will only cause us great trouble! ”
"But you can't kill them all, can you?" Urel said in disbelief, "Priest of the Moon Shadow, haven't you elves always been tolerant and merciful? ”
Murong Feng glanced at the prince and said coldly, "I will never be merciful to the enemy. If you disagree with my decision, Your Highness, then the five thousand captives will be left to you. But I'll put the ugly words in front of you, and if those captives cause any trouble, you will bear all the consequences! ”
After several hesitations, Aurel finally failed to be ruthless, gritted his teeth and took over the task of guarding the prisoners!
Murong Feng didn't say anything about this, and instead directly ordered to select a person with sharp legs and feet from the captives in public. He handed over a handwritten letter to the captive and brought it back to the high priest of the crow, Eska, and the content of the letter was very simple and straightforward. Murong Feng even unfolded the letter and read it aloud in front of the captives.
The beginning of the letter is nothing more than the characterization of this war, as the invaded party, the Wing Clan must belong to the righteous side, and as the culprit who provoked this war, the upper echelons of the Sktis Empire must be the evil side. Now that good has triumphed over evil, and you innocent soldiers have been captured, His Royal Highness Urel, Prince of the Winged Clan, has graciously decided to forgive the sins of all the captives, but it is certainly impossible to return you captives in vain. So the upper echelons of the Sketis Empire must take the money to redeem you!
After reading the letter, Murong Feng directly handed it into the hands of the amnesty captives, and said lightly: "You are free soldiers, give this letter to your high priest, if your high priest can also be as merciful as our royal highness, you should take the money to ransom your comrades-in-arms, so that they can return to their relatives to reunite." ”
There was an immediate commotion among the crow captives, and the crow soldiers, who had been dead faces, all showed a glow of hope at this moment. There was also a hint of hostility in the eyes that looked at the Wing Clan soldiers. You must know that taking money to ransom a captive is the first time in a continental war, because the war between two races is often a never-ending ending, so once you become a captive, you will generally only have two ends, become a slave or be killed directly. Now that these crow people see the opportunity to regain their freedom, they are naturally full of anticipation. Even the little bit of caution in the hearts of individual people has been extinguished.
Murong Feng turned around and beckoned to Aurel, letting His Royal Highness the somewhat restrained Prince come to the front of the stage, and then solemnly introduced: "This is His Royal Highness Prince Aurel, you should thank him for his kindness now!" ”
"Long live His Royal Highness Prince Aurel!!" Among the captives, I don't know who took the lead in shouting a lame lingua franca, and then the thousands of crow captives all boiled and shouted in unison: "Long live Prince Aurel!! ”
Then the Wing Clan soldiers followed suit: "Long live His Royal Highness Prince Aurel!! ”
For a while, it was really joyful!
Aurel's lips, who had never experienced such a scene, trembled with excitement, and his handsome face turned even redder, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
On the way back, Aurel, who had finally calmed down, also came back to his senses, and leaned over to Murong Feng and whispered gratefully, "Thank you, Moon Shadow Priest!" ”
"Thank me for what?" Murong Feng glanced at the prince.
Urel smiled, "Thank you for giving me this prestige. I thought you were really going to kill those captives, but they were all trying to help me secretly. ”
Indeed, such a thing as prestige is of no use to Murong Feng at all, it is better to give it to the most suitable person, such as His Royal Highness the Prince. However, Murong Feng would not admit that all this was designed by her, and said lightly: "You think too much, Your Highness." It seems to me that those captives are hot potatoes, and if they are killed, they will arouse the hatred of the whole clan of the crows, and if they are released, they will let the tiger return to the mountain. I'm just looking for an excuse to keep these captives in the first place, lest they make trouble for us, and at the same time throw the hot potato to the great priest of the crow to take over. ”
Murong Feng glanced at Aurel, who was still at a loss, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that His Royal Highness the prince was really too simple, and he had already understood how to say it, but he still didn't understand the deep meaning. Fortunately, his father didn't give birth to more brothers for him, otherwise it would have been his turn to sit on the throne!
The veteran of the Wing Clan, Boknairn, who was following Aurel, couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and tugged at Aurel's sleeve, whispering in his ear, "The Priest of the Moon Shadow thinks that the Raven High Priest will not be willing to pay a copper for the redemption of these captives. Therefore, these captives could not escape the fate of being enslaved in the end. ”
Aurel was dumbfounded, and said, "Wasn't we deceiving the captives just now?" ”
"Are you serious?" Murong Feng turned around and said speechlessly.
"I, but, what if," said Aurel, at a loss, "what if, I mean, if the Great Priest of the Raven agrees to pay the ransom?" ”
"So I offered a price he would never agree to!" Murong Feng sneered: "A thousand gold coins per soldier!" 5,000 soldiers is 5,000,000 gold coins! If that great priest of the crow can really be generous enough to redeem the five thousand soldiers with five million gold coins, it would be okay for us to be good people for a while. ”
"Five million gold coins!? This is too much! Aurel was dumbfounded, "That Raven Great Priest would never agree!" What will happen to those captives then? ”
The veteran of the Wing Clan, Boknein, said coldly: "According to the old general's intentions, these captives" He made a motion to wipe his neck, and then snorted: "Good to pay tribute to our dead people!" But the Priest of the Moon Shadow already has a more clever idea, and even the veteran I am ashamed of myself! ”
"Priest of the Moon Shadow, what is your idea?" Urrell stared at Murong Feng expectantly.
Murong Feng said an idea that Orrell didn't expect at all: "Let it go!" ”
"Released?" Aurel froze, completely unsure of what kind of medicine was being sold in the Moon Shadow Priest's gourd. Even if it was planned to release all these captives in the first place, why do you have to go to such great lengths to perform this drama now? Fortunately, Aurel was really not stupid, and he completely understood Murong Feng's intentions in a turn of his mind!
Letting those captives go back now will only make those captives become enemies again as soon as they turn around. But if the prisoners were released after the news of the rejection of the ransom by the top brass of the Scythis Empire came back, it would be a completely different outcome. First of all, these Raven captives will be grateful to the benevolent Wing Clan and His Royal Highness the Prince, and at the same time, they will have feelings of disappointment, anger, and resentment towards the high-ranking leaders of the Sketis Empire who will not be saved! If the Sketis Empire had forced the disgruntled Raven captives to become soldiers at this time, the consequences would have been predictable
A very simple conspiracy can also be seen as a conspiracy, but it plays with people's hearts and applause. It is impossible for the other party to crack this clever plan, unless the Raven High Priest is really willing to pay a ransom of five million, but is this possible?
Urrell is now really impressed by this Moon Shadow Priest to the ground!
The group returned to the tent and had just sat down before they had time to drink their saliva, when suddenly outside the tent rushed into the guard of the Wing Clan and said with a panicked face: "Report! The scout team rescued a fellow man ten miles from the camp, who according to him was the deputy captain of the guard at the Black Wind Ridge Pass! In the early hours of this morning, the 5,000-strong army of the Raven Man broke through the Black Wind Ridge Pass and went straight to Lingyun Peak! ”
The faces of the Wing Clan generals present changed as soon as they brushed, and Murong Feng's eyes flashed and quickly rushed to the sand table, and asked in a condensed voice, "Where is the Black Wind Ridge?" ”
Boknain stretched out his hand and pointed to the sand table, and said in a deep voice: "Here! According to the speed of the Raven Man's march, you can kill at night under Lingyun Peak! ”
For a while, the atmosphere in the handsome tent was solemn and suffocating! (To be continued......)
