Four hundred and seventy-fifth prisoners of war are spoils
Yuan Kai smiled. He was a person who could learn and apply it. Some jokes that Tianhao had told before played a role at this moment: "What is the Holy Lord? Is it delicious?"
Without waiting for Brock to answer, Yuan Kai continued to speak English and asked: "Why did you refuse to undergo the examination?"
Brock felt that his neck was about to break, so he could only try his best to tiptoe higher, his screams were still hoarse, and his speech was never as fast as he is now: "You can't take away my armor, this is a family relic, with my family emblem on it."
Yuan Kai smiled "hehe".
He let go of his hand, and Brock fell heavily to the ground like a ripe fruit.
Yuan Kai spread his feet apart, put his left hand on his waist, and looked down coldly: "You have two choices: either obey orders and take off your armor, or die now."
This guy is a bad-minded idiot, a disabled white nobleman, too proud and has no ability to protect himself.
Brock finally stood up from the ground half kneeling. His eyes were filled with suppressed anger, and he timidly and with a little hope, "This is my most precious thing, you can't take it away."
Yuan Kai glanced at him, turned around and looked at the attendant standing beside him, and issued a cold order: "Kill him."
Brock was stunned.
All the white prisoners of war who witnessed all this nearby and also heard Yuan Kai issue this English order were stunned.
The ferocious Dragon Clan guards rushed over and held Brock down. Just as the executioner raised his sword above his head and was about to fall, Yuan Kai spoke again.
He did not out of pity, but had another purpose: "Don't bend his head. Take off his armor and clothes first. This guy is right. The armor is beautiful and can be sold for a good price. The clothes cannot be wasted, and there is always a time to be useful. Cut off his hands and feet first, and then solve them completely. Well... By the way, put a pole here and hang all the parts of his body up, so that those unhonest white people can take a good look. This is the end of the daring to fight us."
In the cold weather and the extremely cruel order, Baron Brock was frightened and incontinent on the spot. But this did not change his fate. The guards of the dragon tribe stripped off all the covers on his body and pressed it on the ground to put it in a "big" character, hands, feet, head... More than ten minutes later, pieces of human bodies tied with ropes hung on the wooden pole more than three meters high, and swayed in the cold wind. The most eye-catching thing was the head.
Yuan Kai issued a new order.
"Pick out the most unhonest white people and deal with them as soon as possible. One hundred or two hundred are fine, and there is no problem with more. Make sure that there are enough heads for each inspection entrance, so that the white people can understand that we have the final say."
The cruel killings were effective, and the Viking soldiers who slowly advanced and surrendered in sequence never had any trouble. Looking at the wooden poles that were constantly cold and hard in the cold wind, and gradually piled up a layer of white frost on the surface, they completely abandoned the unrealistic thoughts in their minds and walked towards the prisoner-of-war camp in the distance with heavy steps.
At this moment, they finally realized that they had been away from freedom and had even been lost forever.
...
The surrender work lasted for several days. Yuan Kai quickly cut the mess. He separated the white prisoners according to military ranks and different identities. The focus was on ordinary soldiers, and every five thousand people were a team, and a small number of troops were sent to escort the northwest.
There is a large wasteland in the north of the Dragon Territory, which needs construction and reclamation, and mines and smelting plants also require a large number of manpower. There has never been a reason to waste food to feed the enemy in vain. Since they have surrendered, they must squeeze out all their surplus value without leaving any left.
This is a plan that Tianhao had formulated before the war. As a senior member of the Dragon Clan, Yuan Kai was one of the plan's knowledgeable people. The plan is divided into multiple components, including a detailed explanation of the "use of humans of other races south of the Lock Dragon Pass".
Whether it is a noble or a civilian, even if it is a king, in Tianhao's opinion, they only have their only fate, which is to become slaves.
The huge group of prisoners of war was escorted slowly northward, and they finally saw the legendary "Study to Capture the City".
The white-headed eagle transmits information very quickly. According to Tianhao's order, 100,000 of these prisoners of war will stay in the Blood Claw City. It was a gift to the tiger king Yaoxian and also a compensation for the tiger clan in this war.
...
In the palace of the royal palace, Hu Yaoxian sat on the tall throne and stared at the unfolding letter paper in his hand for a long time.
"One hundred thousand white men... the young Regent of the Dragon Clan is quite generous." He said to himself, although his tone of speaking was a little sarcastic, he was not hostile.
Wu Lin, a national guru in a white robe, stood in front of the throne, and maintained a respectful posture with a slightly tilted upper body. After experiencing too many things, he was no longer the superior who used to be passionate and wanted to work hard to change reality.
Except for Tianhao and the senior executives of the Dragon Clan who clenched heavy fists, no one knew Wu Lin’s true identity.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to use these white people?" As long as you are with the Tiger King, Wu Lin never takes the initiative to express his opinions now, almost always asking in a humble tone, or complying with others.
Hu Yao leaned against the throne first, and the light flashing in his eyes was obviously different. He gently tapped the handrail of the throne with his fingertips and said thoughtfully: "Send them all? Or take advantage of the cold weather now, kill them all and make a reservation?"
To Hu Yaoxian, spending a large amount of food to support these white people was a loss-making business. He had no mercy on the white people in the south. Hu Yong died in the Lock Dragon Pass in battle, which was the best commander of the Tiger Clan. Hu Gang also died, that was his nephew of his relatives and the best young man in the Tiger Clan royal family. For this damn war, the Tiger Clan sent a large number of troops to provide support from the east and north directions. The most important of them was the war horse... Speaking of which, Hu Yaoxian felt uncomfortable. The secret that his ancestors had been keeping to the death, because the overall situation of the white people changed the situation, and could only be forced to take it out for free to support the Dragon Clan and the Lion Clan who were fighting on the front line.
Wu Lin's waist was even more bent and his head was drooping very low. His tone sounded obviously flattering: "Your Majesty's heart is for the people, this is their blessing."
Hu Yaoxian frowned: "Why are you like those guys now, and you can't say anything but flattering words?"
Wu Lin raised his head and smiled sweeter than ever: "This is the fact. If someone else had changed, he would definitely want to sell these white slaves instead of being distributed as a benefit."
"Then kill some of them first!" Hu Yaoxian's seriousness was just a pretending gesture. Everyone liked good-sounding words, even the king of the clan was no exception. He was very satisfied with Wu Lin's respectful attitude, which meant that after experiencing all kinds of messy things, this old teacher and friend finally became in line with his wishes and developed in the direction he liked.
"How many kills?" Wu Lin smiled humbly and gentlely: "Please let Your Majesty make it clear."
"Slaughter half of them first, 50,000 people." Hu Yao became careful and calm when talking about the serious business: "Try to dry this part, which can be useful in spring. The rest are sent to the city walls according to the proportion, and the city lord and the leaders will handle it themselves. Since you have won the battle, you must make everyone happy."
"This is the most wisest decision I have ever heard of. You are worthy of being the greatest king of the tiger clan." Wu Lin smiled and lowered his head to take the order.
When he left the hall and walked out of the palace, Wu Lin had already made a plan to allocate these slaves in his mind.
This will help the Dragon Clan solve all white prisoners injured in the war. Whether it is minor or serious, the two will definitely account for a large proportion together.
Looking at the white people gathering in the square outside, Wu Lin sighed secretly - from this incident, we can see the huge difference between the Dragon Clan Regent and the Tiger King. The former is far-sighted, and hundreds of thousands of white slaves will become an important labor force for the Dragon Clan to develop the north. Hu Yaoxian is different. He never thought about realizing the tiger territory. Especially the use of wasteland between the roads and the cities and villages. Hu Yaoxian was left far behind by the Dragon Clan Regent, regardless of his thinking concepts or specific execution capabilities.
Gradually, a smile appeared on Wu Lin's face.
Fortunately, I have given up on that stupid and ignorant guy.
...
A few days later, a regiment of Viking officers, including Earl Perris, was sent to Tianhao Camp.
The total number of this group of prisoners of war was as high as more than 2,000, and Yuan Kai selected according to Tianhao's requirements. Not all prisoners of war were Viking officers, including more than 300 ordinary soldiers. Their only common point was that they received systematic education and had a high level of education.
Tianhao met with several prisoners of war headed by Earl Perris in the camp.
The Lion King was also present at the same time.
There was no grand and warm welcome ceremony as I imagined. Looking at the white prisoners who walked into the camp and stood about three meters away from him, Tianhao coldly spit out an English word from the middle of his lips: "Kneel down."
The Count did not hesitate for a second and fell to his knees.
A lot of things happened during this period, which made him understand a lot of the rules of the northern giants.
The social etiquette commonly used in the Southern Kingdom is here no one accepts. The northern giants do not understand what the "kissing hand" is, nor will they fight one-on-one according to the knight etiquette. For prisoners who refuse to obey orders, they only have one way to deal with it——the cruelest way to torture them to death, and their heads must be hung high on wooden poles to show their public.
Those who can become officers are not ordinary people. They either have prominent families or have assets. Even if they are forced to surrender because of the situation, Viking officers, including Perris, are still dissatisfied with the giants. In the earl's words, "These barbaric guys do not treat us as human beings at all. They do not give us corresponding courtesy, nor do they give us enough respect. You must know that we are not civilians, but real nobles."
If it weren't for Tianhao's order, Yuan Kai wouldn't have spent any effort to send these officers from the west bank of Pantuo River to this place. However, as of now, long journeys are indeed beneficial, at least they have smoothed out the arrogance of these white prisoners. Especially the continuous murders along the way, the bloody heads finally made them understand their identity and reality.
"You are Perris, the earl of the Viking Kingdom, the supreme commander among all the surrendered people?" Tianhao's English pronunciation was clear and fluent. The Lion King sitting next to him was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously turned around and looked at him, his face full of shock.
Shi Rui never thought that someone could be proficient in using white language.
Perris straightened his waist and replied respectfully: "Report to your Highness, I am just taking charge of this army temporarily. The noble Duke of Flamar is the real commander."
"Is that?" Tianhao sneered and shook his head: "He ran away at the most critical moment of the battle and left everyone behind. Although I don't like you, I must admit that you are more responsible than the so-called duke, at least you can persevere until the end."
"Thank you for your praise." Perris was unmoved, and he still insisted on his thoughts: "Duke of Flamar is a great man. He must have been surprised."
Tianhao continued to sneer: "You obviously have doubts about my control over your subordinates. I can tell you clearly———No one will attack your Duke without my orders. Also, I have not received any news about Duke Framar from the western battlefield so far. I have learned all the details of your surrender in the army. As the supreme commander of an army, he disappeared in that environment... Haha, in fact, when things have come to this point, you should know very well in your heart that Framar is likely to leave you and run away alone. After all, a person's goal is not that big, and it is easy to do."
Perris's face turned pale, and the white officer who was kneeling with him also became gloomy. They had been discussing the issue for several days, and although they were reluctant to admit it, reason told them that the young giant ruler in front of them did not lie.
"Okay, this is not the key to the problem. I don't want to waste time for a despicable coward." Tianhao made a loud and majestic voice: "Next, you will go to Panshi City to receive the next stage of study there."
Earl Perris temporarily put aside his thoughts about Duke Flamar. He was surprised by what Tianhao said just now and was deeply confused: "...I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."
"Learn our language, which is what you call the giant language." Tianhao's attitude was very serious: "Only in this way can we communicate with each other and eliminate barriers."
The Count opened his mouth, and suddenly he felt like he was seeing the road ahead suddenly open, so he asked tentatively: "Your Highness, are you willing to let us go?"
Tianhao nodded: "As long as you pass the exam, it's fine."
