If you just do something you like, it's not something you really love to do, and it takes a lot of concentration and insight to find out that you really love to do things.

- Krishnamurti (the greatest spiritual teacher of the twentieth century)

Because the casualties of the Lancers and the Death Battalion were too heavy, as soon as the battle was over, the field doctor Hua Mu rushed to them to treat the light and serious wounded of their two armies, and the task of cleaning the battlefield and collecting the corpses was entrusted to the Fire Legion, which was barely involved in the battle.

If it weren't for the dispatch of the 20,000-strong army of the Agni Legion, the Death Battalion would not have been able to force back the Red Banner Army, which still had more than 9,000 horsemen, even if it was fought to the last man.

The Red Banner Army, which intended to retreat, even if they forced the death battalion to relax their entanglement by means of a sudden counterattack, there were not a few cavalrymen who had already fallen into entanglement and could not retreat;

After the break, more than 1,900 Red Banner cavalry were surrounded by the elite army of the Fire Legion after more than half of them were killed; knowing that they were only looking for death if they continued to fight, the Red Banner Cavalry finally did not choose to fight to the death, but surrendered to the encirclement of the Fire Legion.

In the first attack, the Agni Legion captured more than 900 enemy troops without much effort, and after dispossessing the captives' weapons, they handed over all the captives, still wearing red flag cotton armor, to Steve, who had come to receive the captives with his own soldiers.

After Bai Feng waited in place for about twenty minutes, Steve guarded more than 900 captives with more than 200 personal soldiers, and came to Bai Feng's side and replied: "General, the more than 900 Red Banner cavalry captured by the Fire Legion have all been escorted. ”

"Hmm. After nodding with satisfaction, Bai Feng waved his hand and ordered: "Maxi, you take two teams of silver shield infantry to guard the ordinary prisoners, and then find an open space to line them up in a row of a hundred prisoners." ”

"No!" Maxi, the sword-wielding squire, hurriedly stepped forward with two teams of silver-shielded infantry and took over the custody of the prisoners from his own soldiers.

"Darnell, you go and pick out all the people in the captives, such as the chief, the assistant, the centurion, etc., I have another use. ”

"No!" Darnell, who had the right to mobilize half of the Roman heavy cavalry of the White Peak General's guard, was also busy in an instant.

Seeing Maxi and Darnell walking towards a clearing in the rear with the captives in their hands, Bai Feng turned around and ordered Steve, who had just been reinstated: "Steve, you take your own soldiers to assist Mr. Hua Mu, and make sure that the wounded soldiers can be treated in time." ”

"No!" Steve, non-stop, got busy again.

After the aftermath of the battle was done in an orderly manner, Bai Feng, who had nothing more important, came to the open space where the captives were under the escort of his own general guards and Bai Yi and others, and began to interrogate these captured red banner cavalrymen.

Bai Feng, who was calm and relaxed, looked at the nervous captives, raised his hand very casually, and asked unhurriedly at a prisoner with a panicked expression: "Say, what is your name, which of the eight banners is the cavalry?"

No one thought that Bai Feng's first question to the captives would be so mentally retarded, and the captives, who were a little confused, cowered and didn't know whether to answer well or not, so they could only look at the red-flag-inlaid staff and assistant leaders who had been selected in front of them for help.

"Don't say it, right?" Without waiting for the red flag leaders and assistant leaders to react, Bai Feng, who sneered, ordered: "Kill!"

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, Bai Sheng, a barbarian slave armed with a giant mace, smashed the captive's head into his body with a single blow, and the brains and blood that burst out everywhere made the other captives who were already not determined to resist tremble with fright.

Why did Bai Feng ask such a mentally retarded question? Because only a mentally retarded question can have an undoubted answer. Why did Bai Feng let Bai Sheng violently kill the prisoners with a mace? Because a simple and brutal way could really deter these frightened prisoners.

After the first captive was killed, Bai Feng casually pointed to one of the captives and asked, "You, what's your name, which banner of cavalry are you?"

"Little ...... Small...... The little one is called Mu ...... Murcha, yes...... Is it inlaid ...... Cavalry with red flags. The captive, who was almost not scared, still had a trace of the captive's blood on his face, and he also stammered when answering Bai Feng's question.

"Murcha, good name!" After complimenting the other party's name meaningfully, Bai Feng asked him again: "Murcha, you were a prisoner who was certain to die, and now that I give you a chance to survive, are you willing to give up your faith and be loyal to me?"

"Yes! The little one is willing to swear allegiance to you!" Murca, who felt that he had come from hell to heaven in an instant, hastened to show his loyalty.

The loyalty of a cavalryman who voluntarily surrendered and was captured would not be believed by a fool, but it didn't matter whether Murcha's loyalty was trustworthy or not, the important thing was that Bai Feng needed to set an example after killing people, a typical example of betraying his superiors.

Bai Feng smiled and beckoned, signaling the flattered Murcha to walk out of the prisoner queue, and after coming to his side, he asked a wounded and captured leader, "What is your name?" Are you willing to give up your faith and be loyal to me?"

"Phew!" The red-flag-inlaid leader, who was personally guarded by the two guards, answered Bai Feng's inquiry with his disdain.

"Murcha, this man is not willing to be loyal to me, that is my enemy. Bai Feng, who didn't care about the disdain of this leader, turned to Murcha and said, "Now, it's up to you to kill him, and let me see if your loyalty is worthy of my trust." ”

Murcha, who knew that he would have no way out as long as he did it, knew that if he didn't do it, he was afraid that he would die the next moment, so he did not hesitate to take the short sword handed to him by the guard, walked up to the leader, and cut off the opponent's head with a sword.

"Good job!" Bai Feng, who praised again, ignored the blood and hideousness on Murcha's face, patted him on the shoulder with great satisfaction, and promoted him in public: "Murcha, from this moment on, you will be the leader of the red flag under my command." ”

Murcha, who quickly entered the role, immediately knelt down on one knee excitedly and said: "Slave Murcha, swear allegiance to the master!"

With the example of Murcha and the example of the slain leader, only one of the remaining three captured leaders with red flags chose to use his own death to uphold his faith, and the other two leaders, Kochili and Kardasu, wisely chose to be loyal to Bai Feng.

Since Bai Feng knew his name, there was no need to say anything about his choice, and this senator, who was disheartened by Urgudai, also chose to betray his original faith without the slightest hesitation.

In the choice of life or death, 99 percent of the captives chose the shameful life, because the Red Banner Cavalry, who really preferred to die and always adhered to their beliefs, had already been killed in the final battle of the trapped beasts, and would not have been reduced to captives at all.

There were four role models, Leader of Kerde, Leader of Kochirizo, Leader of Kardasuzo, and Leader of Murchazo, and the other nine hundred and forty-five captives all chose to betray their original beliefs and pledge allegiance to Bai Feng in exchange for a chance to survive.
