MTL - Immortal Space-Chapter 784 captive

  Chapter 784 Captive

  The Great Chu Immortal Kingdom wiped out three first-class forces with a long history one after another with lightning speed.

   After stopping at Yanyun Gate, Wang Hong sat in Jinlan City, waiting for Qizhou Island to send people to receive it.

  Before, there were only about two million people in the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, and most of them lived in Qizhou Island.

  The rest of the population is either the army, stationed in various places, or scattered in the corners of various cities, becoming the nails of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.

   Now, after the Great War, the total number of captives taken from various sects and major cities has reached more than three million.

  Most of these captives are small people who are not valued. In any big force, most of them are monks at the bottom.

   Except for the initial hundreds of thousands who were escorted to Qizhou Island, the rest of the captives were still held in place.

   With so many captives on average, it is equivalent to every citizen of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom having to supervise one and a half captives.

  In fact, the citizens of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom have their own affairs to do, so the task of supervising the captives falls to the 200,000 troops.

   And among the 200,000 troops of Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, half of them are recruits.

   There are 20,000 people stationed on Flying Fish Island, 20,000 people on Chiyan Island, and 20,000 people on Ten Thousand Puppet Secret Realm.

  There are only the remaining 140,000 people, who are still in charge of guarding Qizhou Island and the newly conquered large piece of land.

   There are very few troops that can really be allocated to supervise the more than three million captives.

   Moreover, the reason why these three million people became captives is by no means ordinary people, they are all immortal cultivators.

   As for killing all the captives, Wang Hong is not so cruel. These people were just their own masters before, and there was nothing wrong with it.

   Another point is that the base of these captives is too large to be killed. None of them jumped out of rocks, and they all had their relatives.

  Most of their relatives are not among the captives, but scattered everywhere. If all these people are killed, the hatred will be great.

   I'm afraid that in the future, the Great Chu Immortal Congress will be broken through by the revenge seekers.

   Moreover, if so many immortal cultivators are used well, it will be a powerful boost, so how can it be wasted.

  Wang Hong hadn't waited for the follow-up support from Qizhou Island in Jinlan City, but he waited for another group of monks.

   There are still many affiliated forces under the three major sects that were wiped out by the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.

  Due to the sudden arrival of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom, these affiliated forces had not had time to summon them, but they escaped a catastrophe.

   Now that the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom is not yet firmly established, it is still unable to deal with these small and medium-sized forces.

  Due to the delay in waiting for the result, these small and medium-sized forces are worried day by day, and always feel that there is a knife hanging above their heads, which may fall at any time.

   As for escaping or something, it is almost impossible. Their family has a big career, unlike casual repairmen who can just pat their **** and leave.

  At this time, Wang Hong was sitting in the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Jinlan City, and beside him stood a woman in red with her eyes closed and a peaceful expression.

  Now there are various versions of legends about the woman in red next to Wang Hong in the world of cultivating immortals in Fengwu Continent.

  It is said that this woman in red is a senior master who is practicing a kind of peerless martial art, and needs to absorb the yang energy from Wang Hong's body from time to time.

  Some people also said that the woman in red was just an extremely powerful clone or puppet, and there were also rumors that Wang Hong was using the woman in red to practice an evil technique.

   Anyway, there are all kinds of rumors.

  In the lower part of the hall, it was already full of guests, although the food and wine were all placed in front of them.

  But they were all fidgeting at this moment, and they were not in the mood to taste the food, and it tasted like chewing wax in their mouths.

  There are quite a few affiliated forces under the three major sects. There are already more than one hundred people sitting in the hall at the moment, and these are still powerful.

   Small forces that are too weak are not even qualified to come here to meet.

   "I don't know if you fellow Taoists have come from afar, what advice do you have?" Wang Hong drank a glass of spiritual wine and asked the people below.

  A white-bearded old man below heard the words, made a gesture of sincerity and fear, saluted quickly, and said:

   "I don't dare to be a teacher. When I heard that the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom had won a big victory, I specially prepared some small gifts and came to congratulate."

   As he spoke, the white-bearded old man took out a gift list and presented it. It seems that this white-bearded old man should be the representative proposed by everyone.

  Wang Hong took it and quickly scanned it with his spiritual sense. Compared with these small and medium forces, the gift is definitely a heavy gift.

  It seems that these small and medium-sized forces are quite sincere. They should have recognized the reality that the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom has ruled this area, and now they have come to express their allegiance.

   "Okay! I have accepted the gift. Thank you for your great gift. We will be a family in the future, so there is no need to be too polite."

  Wang Hong accepted the gift and immediately expressed his acceptance of these small and medium forces.

  These forces originally lived here, and he is also in short supply of manpower now, so it happens that they can help out, which is beneficial to both parties.

   "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone saluted in unison.

  After receiving Wang Hong's reply, a big stone finally landed in the hearts of everyone present. Now tasting the spiritual wine on the table, it feels extremely sweet.

  At this time, the white-bearded old man stepped forward again and bowed, saying:

   "Your Majesty, I have a son who does not live up to expectations. He was ignorant before and offended His Majesty Tianwei. I hope His Majesty will forgive him."

   At this moment, all the eyes of the people present turned to look at this side, waiting for Wang Hong to give a result.

  Because they are subordinate forces, they will naturally send some juniors to the three major sects,

   One is to show loyalty, the other is to deepen the relationship between the two parties, and the third is to enjoy some resources of the big forces.

  But this time, because of this, he was given a pot by the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.

  Among all the people present, there were more or less one, two or three or five children who were now being held in captivity camps by the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.

  So, after the white-bearded old man made this request, everyone's attention was shifted and they paid close attention to this matter.

   "I don't know who your son is?"

  Although Wang Hong had already guessed that it might be related to the captives, he still asked and did not give a clear answer for the time being.

   "The dog's humble name is Xiang Qi, and he is currently being detained in the Jinlan City prisoner camp." The white-bearded old man was a little nervous at this time, feeling uneasy.

  Wang Hong acted like he had suddenly realized, and stared sharply at the white-bearded old man.

   "Do you know what it means to be a monk in a prisoner camp?"

  From Wang Hong's expression and tone, he couldn't feel any joy or anger, but literally, those who could enter the prisoner camp were at least once enemies of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.

  It is completely different from what they surrendered now, the white-bearded old man is now speaking for the enemies of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.

  Cold sweat dripped from the forehead of the white-bearded old man, and he hurriedly bowed to the end, "The dog is young and ignorant, please forgive his youth and spare his life."

  Once a cultivator becomes a prisoner, his life and death are in the hands of others. In the past, the massacre of prisoners after the war also happened from time to time, so he couldn't help being nervous, but he forgot about his own safety for a while.

   "Hey! I am also a kind-hearted person, and I don't want to cause more killings. Since you are begging for mercy, I will give you a face."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!" The white-bearded old man hurriedly thanked.

   "Don't thank me first, although I can forgive you, but the death penalty is inevitable, and the living crime cannot be escaped, otherwise it will be difficult to silence everyone."

  Wang Hong had no intention of killing these captives, but now he just went down the donkey along the slope.

   "Presumably all of you have children and descendants who are in the prisoner camp, and you will make a list for me later.

  Although I don't have to worry about it, I am definitely dissatisfied with my soldiers.

  So, these children of yours still need to serve in the army for three years, and after three years, you can stay as you please. "

  Everyone present thanks again and again, this is already the best result, it’s only been three years, maybe he can still take the opportunity to make a name for himself in the Great Chu Immortal Army.

  After sending these small and medium-sized forces away, another day later, Xu Lun and Luo Zhongjie had dispatched a large number of people from the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom to take over these new territories.

   "Your Majesty, each group of troops has been dispatched to fifty-two cities, but how should the harvested mines be arranged?

  The manpower that can be mobilized on Qizhou Island has been brought by the two of us, and the rest of the manpower are all in important positions, and it is really hard to find manpower. "

  Xu Lun is already busy with the shortage of manpower.

  Great Chu Immortal Kingdom has a population of more than two million. Swallowing such a vast area at one time is no different from a snake swallowing a giant elephant.

   There are fifty-two cities under its jurisdiction, and the population of any city exceeds two million.

  Now, as long as there are people who can be used on Qizhou Island, they are all pulled out, even some people who are seventeen or eighteen years old and have no experience.

   "Now that the world of cultivating immortals is in turmoil, and the prices of various materials are soaring, the eight newly obtained spirit stone veins and more than 300 ordinary veins we have obtained will naturally be mined in time."

  I used to stay on Qizhou Island, and I didn’t have any spiritual ore resources, just some fire-attribute materials on Chiyan Island.

   Now that he suddenly got so many veins at one time, if they were left there and not mined, Wang Hong would probably think about it when he was sleeping.

   So, of course, mining.

   "But Your Majesty, even if you refine a large number of mining puppets, it's too late." Xu Lun was still a little puzzled.

   "As for manpower, I have already made arrangements.

  The total number of captives being held in various places has exceeded 3 million. In addition to giving them drinks, they have to be guarded.

  I decided to throw all the captives in various mines for mining. "

  Wang Hong expressed his thoughts.

   Both Xu Lun and Luo Zhongjie were a little surprised. Of course they knew that there were still three million prisoners.

  Moreover, the three million captives will take up a lot of manpower to detain them, which is even more conspicuous in the current shortage of manpower.

   "Your Majesty, if these captives are distributed to various mines, I am afraid that more manpower will be needed to take care of them."

  Now they are all gathered together, only a few strong men are needed to deter them, but if they are scattered to various mines, there are not so many people assigned to each place.

   "As for the manpower to take care of the captives, I've already had my mind set."

   After speaking, Wang Hong took out a list and handed it to the two of them for viewing.

   This list was sorted out and handed over by those affiliated small and medium-sized forces.

  Wang Hong knows that there is definitely water in this list, but it doesn't matter to Wang Hong.

  Anyway, the list sent by these forces is equivalent to being guaranteed by these small and medium forces.

  If there is a problem with that captive, he will definitely go to these forces to settle accounts.

  After reading the list, the two of them were still a little confused, so Wang Hong smiled slightly:

   "These are prisoners held in various prisoner-of-war camps, Luo Zhongjie, go and recruit everyone on this list into the army.

   After recruiting these people, send out some veterans to form an army of these people.

   And then this team will supervise the rest of the captives? "

  After such an arrangement, both of them felt their eyes brightened.

  If this is really the case, first of all, the manpower to guard the captives will be saved, and at the same time, a large number of cheap labor will be produced.

   "It's just Your Majesty, let the prisoner guard the prisoner, what if he colludes with himself?"

  Luo Zhongjie still doesn't understand.

   "Just adjust them to be a little messy. Everyone doesn't know each other, so naturally they can't make waves. You just do what I say."

  Next, according to Wang Hong's arrangement, Luo Zhongjie found these people from various prisoner camps, and then concentrated on training.

  A terrifying rumor spread among the captives in the barracks at this time.

   "I heard that the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom will kill all of us captives."

   "Hey, if I knew this earlier, I might as well have died in battle."

   "You who are greedy for life and afraid of death, you were the one who surrendered the fastest. If you were even going to die in battle, I'm afraid there will be no living people in this prisoner camp."

   "Is the news reliable? You spread gossip all day long, but you haven't seen any results yet."

   "Of course it's reliable. You didn't see that someone came here a few days ago and took away a group of people. Now that so many days have passed, do you think one of the people who was taken away came back alive?"

  After this reminder, all the captives realized that a lot of people were taken away some time ago.

   And in every captive camp, there are naturally eyeliners of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom. In fact, the news that the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom is going to kill is the result of these eyeliners.

   After a few days of spreading and fermenting, this news has already become well known in the prisoner camp.

  Suddenly, people panicked, worried that they would be the next one to be killed.

  In this case, there are those who are heartbroken, those who sing loudly and pretend to be heroic, and those who are so frightened that they become incontinent and unable to take care of themselves.

  In the face of life and death, everyone behaves differently, but they are ultimately in a state of despair.

  At this time, Wang Hong sent people to various prisoner camps to issue his official orders.

  Wang Hong's order stated that they should be arranged to mine in various mines.

  For a while, countless people wept with joy. They felt that the most wonderful thing in the world was to be a miner.

   Everyone felt that if the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom needed it, they would definitely be able to dig for 10,000 years.

  I can’t wait to dig a hundred catties with the pickaxe and come back.
