Harald was aware of this law, and in fact there was a tacit agreement between the nobility: when a person wanted to surrender and the other accepted it, a contractual relationship was established between the two people, and the former could not treat the captives as slaves or criminals, and would not be killed.

If the captives are nobles of status, then they must maintain a certain standard of hospitality. Because in the strict sense of the word, they are just collateral for the ransom, and sooner or later they will go back.

This rule guaranteed the face and status of the nobility and was recognized by everyone. If someone broke this rule and abused and humiliated the aristocracy, then it would provoke the hostility of the entire aristocratic class.

Of course, Qin Song would not take into account such old-fashioned rules.

The reason is very simple, as an existence of a foreign god, no matter how he deals with it, he will definitely be hostile to all the aristocratic class, no way, ninety-nine percent of them are believers in the Holy Spirit.

However, Qin Song didn't want to leave the impression of being cruel and murderous to the simple and kind witches, as long as the other party was willing to surrender and could exchange for a lot of ransom, it was not too bad a deal.

As for the fact that after they return, they will once again become the force to attack the Blackstone Lord. The solution is simple – just bring something 'special' with them when they leave.

"I don't want to repeat it a second time. Harald had a gloomy face, it was impossible to give Viscount Hein the corresponding treatment, and the Blackstone Collar had no extra food: "Either surrender or die in battle." ”

"I want to see your lord!" Viscount Hine roared angrily.

Boom!

Harald unceremoniously fired a shot: "This is a warning, one last chance." Believe me, I was once an aristocrat, and I always do what I say. ”

"Your Excellency! ”

Not all knights are willing to die for the sake of glory. Many people are in an uproar, and they can become Holy Spirit Knights, and their families are relatively wealthy, and they are fully capable of paying the ransom.

"It's too embarrassing to die here like this. My lord. ”

"Yes, my lord, as long as you survive, sooner or later one day you will wash away today's shame. ”

It's a pagan lair like no other. Viscount Haiyin was bitter in his heart, but the general trend was the same, and he couldn't just let everyone die aggrieved.

When the boom sounded.

Viscount Hai Yin threw the big sword in his hand to the ground, his face was gloomy: "I still hold my opinion, I need to meet your lord, I need to be respected by the nobles." ”

When the ......

When the ......

A series of voices rang out, and the knights rolled over and dismounted in frustration, reluctantly removing their armor. According to the rules, the horses, weapons, armor and baggage of the defeated side will become the property of the other side.

Starting from the first knight kneeling down in humiliation and holding his head, the rest of the knights, no matter how unwilling they were, had to choose to give in, but their mouths were full of whispered curses and insults.

In the end, Viscount Hein, under Harald's tough coercion, also had to choose to kneel. It's just that his eyes are full of resentment.

"Wouldn't it have been done earlier? Hunn spat on the ground, which made a nobleman submit before him, and his heart felt extremely happy.

"Come on, bind them up and string them together. The rest of the brothers, these horses belong to us. Meng Ke walked over excitedly and patted the horse with horse armor: "You are really extravagant, even the cattle wear armor, you are really rich enough!"

"It's ours now, haha. Huon picked up Viscount Hein's knight's greatsword from the ground, and the position of the wolf's eye on the bronze handle of the wolf's head was inlaid with shining rubies.

"Robles, the battle is over, it's safe. Harald turned his back to the captives and pulled out his buzzer: "It's time to lead everyone out and pack up the loot." ”

"It's over?"

Robles, who was hiding in the cave, breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the frightened workers: "Guys, the battle is over, the knights are defeated, we can go out." ”

"Really?"

The Knights of the Holy Spirit were so impressed that the first reaction of these short-sighted slaves was impossible. However, as they walked out of the cave tremblingly, they saw only a terrible battlefield, and the knights, barefoot and lined with their armor off, bound by ropes and strung together, marching forward under the escort of the spear-wielding warriors.

"OMG!"

"Really won!"

"That's the Holy Knights!"

"Just like that?"

For a time, the slaves were shocked by this victory. Including Robles, he had seen the market and understood how powerful the Holy Spirit Knight really was.

It was so completely defeated.

Suddenly, he realized a fact.

Blackstone Collar, Temple of the Stars - how powerful!

......

"Win big!"

In the government affairs hall, Qin Song and Liya sat opposite each other in the office.

Qin Song put down the buzzer in his hand and said with a smile: "Harald really didn't disappoint me, he commanded properly, a well-equipped Holy Spirit Knights, 24 enemies were destroyed, 21 were captured, and 36 were lightly and seriously injured. We, except for the deaths of two slow-running slave laborers, had zero casualties in the army. ”

O Knights of the Holy Spirit......

There was a wonderful emotion on Liya's angular face, and there was a hint of bitterness in her clear eyes. Once upon a time, her goal in life was to become a glorious Knight of the Holy Spirit, and she made countless efforts to achieve this.

But now, an army of shortly trained pirates, with a few dozen light orc hunters, could easily crush an entire Order of the Holy Spirit.

And there were zero casualties.

Horror?

It's horrible.

Before, this was simply unimaginable.

But it just happened.

"Qin. A complicated smile escaped from the corner of Liya's mouth: "I really admire you, from the bottom of my heart." Wisdom is indeed a powerful force. ”

"Leah, our victory today is not only due to wisdom, but also to the efforts of countless people. Qin Song's face was full of emotion: "Just imagine, if there is no Alice, this wisdom will not become a reality." The greatest contributor to our victory, and the victories that followed, was Alice. ”

Indeed, without Alice's metal ability, it would be too difficult for Qin Song's idea to be realized.

Speaking of Alice, Lia's face was also full of tenderness, and her eyes were full of pride: "Alice changed the Black Stone Collar, changed me, changed all this." I'm proud of her, and the Sanders are proud of her. ”

"Trust me, Alice can change the world!" Qin Song's tone was full of confidence.

"Hmm. Liya nodded heavily, and then asked, "Qin, what are you going to do with the captives?"

"I'd like to hear your opinion. "When it comes to dealing with aristocratic issues, Qin Song needs to understand Liya's position and will not be arbitrary.

"It's a headache indeed, because in their eyes we're heretics, and we won't be reconciled. A wry smile hung on the corner of Liya's mouth: "If we follow the default rules among the nobles, we will collect the ransom and release the people according to the agreement." Then when they go back, put on their armor again, take up arms, and mount their horses, they will surely regard us as enemies. There is no suspense about this. ”

"But. Leah changed her words: "If we were all executed, or reduced to slavery, it would be seen that we were mean and cruel and murderous. If the news reaches the kingdom of Tia, then the nobles of the whole country will see us as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh. We will all unite and vow to uproot us. This, on the other hand, increases the pressure on us. ”

"That's right. Qin Song nodded approvingly, and smiled: "It sounds like it's not good for us anyway." Although we are victors, we cannot really be so cold-blooded and cruel, and the great Krem is merciful and will never approve of such behavior. So no matter what, it's going to be put back. ”

Kindness does not lead soldiers, and kindness does not serve as officials. Kindness has a limit, is conditional, and adapts to the circumstances.

"Leah, do you remember the ghost ship I mentioned?"

"Is that the ghost ship you were talking about, cursed by the cardinal?" Leah couldn't help but laugh at the mention of this, "I heard it from Ralph's mouth, I really didn't expect that our sergeant major turned out to be a poorly clothed and hungry pirate two months ago. Ha ha...... Their greed lured them aboard the ghost ship and caught the cursed gold coins. Qin, sometimes your way of thinking is really subversive of imagination, and I will never be able to think of it if I change it. ”

"Yes, a cursed ghost ship, who would have thought that it would become a tool for me to train warriors. Qin Song touched his nose and laughed along: "This ship appeared in Daotan Port and killed a lot of people at that time. Later, I stumbled upon the Orb that controls the ghost ship, a relic of the red-clad pirate. And purified it with the help of the power of the gods. At the time, I was alone, worried about the resurgence of evil, and I was powerless to resist. ”

"Haha......" Lia blinked her eyes with admiration from the bottom of her heart: "A creepy ghost ship, a bunch of pirates who do all kinds of evil." In the end - became a great fighter. ”

"This can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people and recycling waste, right?"

"Qin. Riya's burning gaze was filled with admiration, "I think I understand your philosophy, and the ideas of the gods." Whether everything in the world is evil or not depends not on itself, but on the people who use it. I'm glad that this ghost ship is in your hands, and this group of pirates is in your hands. If it were an evil one, then the Vortex Sea would be full of terrifying legends right now. As creepy as those curses sound, they are used to remove evil and promote good. ”

"Qin, you not only have extraordinary wisdom, but also noble qualities. ”

Actually, I'm not as good as you say.

Let this mature and rational girl say this, it can be seen that he is indeed very admired. Qin Song's heart was a little fluttering, but he maintained a humble smile on his face: "Liya, even pirates are not born to be pirates. If they're well-fed and respected, who wants to be a pirate? Like Ralph, do you think he'll regret it?"

"Definitely not!" Leah grinned, "because when I listened to his horrific experience, I saw pride in his eyes." ”

The corners of Qin Song's mouth raised a smile: "I just let them live like a real person." ”
