The army escorting the captives saw the crowd greeting them in the distance, and when the team was still a mile away from the crowd, Lin Jianya stopped the team and ordered the officers at all levels to organize their ranks.

After being busy for a while, the army marched slowly with its head held high.

The sound of uniform footsteps reached the ears of the people, and the crowd suddenly boiled, this is the army of Great Xia, this is the patron saint of mankind.

Under the gaze of the people, Lin Jianya and Lin Shupi jumped down from the giant deer, walked up to Wang Lang and bowed down and said, "Minister Lin Jianya!" ”

"Minister! Forest bark! ”

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Wang Lang excitedly stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said loudly: "The two marshals, please get up quickly!" This battle has made a name for us humanity, and it is a victory for the entire human race. ”

Lin Jianya said excitedly: "Your Majesty, these are captives!" ”

Wang Lang glanced at the back of the team, saw the group of tall figures, and nodded again and again: "Okay, you really didn't disappoint me." ”

At this time, Lin Wuyun came over and said, "Your Majesty, the hour is almost up, isn't it time to start." ”

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Let's start!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Wuyun slowly retreated, sank his dantian, took a deep breath, and shouted in a loud voice: "The sacrifice of prisoners begins!" ”

After this, the people suddenly fell silent, standing on both sides of the road and quietly watching the army slowly pass in front of them.

When some of the people saw their relatives in the procession, they immediately shouted their names excitedly, while the soldiers who were recognized were so nervous that they did not hear their shouts at all, and walked slowly forward with neat steps.

The group of dinosaur people slowly walked towards the altar in the direction of the altar with their heads bowed and escorted by the soldiers, they did not know what their fate would be, and they felt fear in so many humans.

The crowd slowly followed the procession, and when the army arrived at the altar, a scene surprised the dinosaur people.

I saw a man of his own kind, dressed in human clothes, appear on the high platform.

Facing a pair of questioning eyes, Fang Shaoshi's mood at this time was very complicated, Jing Liang didn't look at the eyes of those fellow clansmen, and shouted loudly in the language of dinosaur people: "Kneel!" ”

The captives looked at each other, kneeling down was a very humiliating move, is this person crazy, the captives became noisy, and shouted and cursed at Fang Shaoshi.

Lin Jianya's eyes narrowed when he saw this, and he looked at Wang Lang's side, waiting for his instructions.

Seeing Wang Lang nodding to himself, Lin Jianya immediately understood, and dispatched an army to quickly surround these dinosaur people.

Seeing the human army coming, the noise gradually subsided.

Fang Shaoshi gritted his teeth and almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

"Kneel if you don't want to die!"

Prisoners, look at me, I look at you, and in the end some of them chose to give in, bowed their haughty heads, and knelt in front of the altar.

With the one taking the lead, slowly the dinosaur people knelt down one after another.

When the common people saw this scene, they felt extremely proud, these races that once frightened them were now as obedient as their own dogs.

Lin Wuyun walked up to the altar and shouted, "Fire!" ”

The few cannons that had been prepared rumbled and frightened the prisoners.

But after a long time, they did not notice the cannonballs falling, and remembering the crackling sound they had heard not long ago, they guessed that it might be some kind of human ritual.

After the ten artillery pieces were fired at one time, Lin Wuyun said in a loud voice: "Warriors into the ground!" ”

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

A dull drum sounded, and the people suddenly fell silent, watching the pair of soldiers carrying the coffins and following the drum beat slowly towards the tomb of the warrior next to the altar.

Lying inside these coffins were the three hundred soldiers who were guarding the stronghold, and after the army drove away the enemy, Lin Jianya asked them to gather their corpses and place them carefully in the coffins, but because of the time, most of the corpses had already been mutilated due to the gnawing of wild beasts, and they could not be identified at all.

The families of these fallen soldiers knelt on the ground at this moment and lost their voices in pain, and their grief also infected the rest of the people, glaring angrily at the dinosaurs kneeling on the ground.

Although these captives could not understand the human language, it could be seen from this sad and solemn ceremony that these people were preparing to pay tribute to their fallen soldiers.

It wondered why humans put those corpses in boxes made of wood, and didn't it be the greatest honor for brave warriors to return to heaven and earth.

The team carrying the coffin slowly walked down the side of the grave pit dug in the aisle, and carefully lowered the coffin.

Lin Wuyun said loudly: "Buried!" ”

The soldiers carefully lowered the coffins into the pit and filled it with loess, adding three hundred new graves to the cemetery.

The soldiers in charge of the burial slowly retreated and lined up in a neat line.

The rest of the soldiers thought of the dead robes, and their eyes suddenly turned red, and a sense of sadness lingered in their hearts.

The soldiers took off their helmets and bowed deeply to the new graves.

The priests who used to be the five tribes of the grassland have now been arranged into the five divisions, and these priests dance strangely in front of the tombs of the warriors, wishing these warriors to reach the kingdom of heaven smoothly.

After burying the fallen soldiers, Wang Lang slowly walked up to the altar, knelt on the high altar, and said a long eulogy to the gods, and then asked the families of the fallen soldiers to light incense in front of the altar.

Lin Ping's eldest son wore a white cloth on his head, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times to these new graves, he didn't know that one of these graves belonged to his father, but now these are not important, these are his father's subordinates, it can also be said that he is his uncle, they are all warriors like his father, what is the problem with kowtowing to them.

The people looked at this group of orphans and widows with respect, and silently wished them in their hearts, although they knew that they had been rewarded by the court, but no one went back to be jealous, this was the glory that their men exchanged their lives for.

Now that the matter of the fallen soldiers has been dealt with, it is time to judge the prisoners of these captives.

Wang Lang asked the officers of the dinosaur people to be lifted out, kicked them to the ground and knelt in front of him.

"These people are the murderers who invaded my Xia country and killed my Great Xia warriors, we humans are a peace-loving race, but we are not a weak race, since these people dare to disturb our peaceful life and kill our people, they should be severely punished, although these people look different from us, but they are all created by the gods, all of them are harmful, today only the first offender will be punished, and the rest of the people will be reduced to slaves."

After Wang Lang finished speaking, although some people felt dissatisfied and thought that it would be enough to execute all these aliens, but after thinking about it, these aliens were tall and it was a good choice to work for humans as slaves, not to mention, it was indeed too cruel to kill tens of thousands of people at once.

Fang Shaoshi translated his words to these dinosaur officers, these people used to be the beings they looked up to, and they could decide their life and death with a single thought, but now they ended up like this, and the world was so unpredictable, it couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Knowing that he was about to be executed, these officers immediately panicked, and even kowtowed to the human in front of him and prayed, but Wang Lang was unmoved, but one of them aroused his interest.

While most of the captives were begging for mercy, only this dinosaur man stared at him with his head up.

"Ask what position it holds." Wang Lang said when he was young.

Fang Shaoshi translated Wang Lang's words to it, but it looked at Fang Shaoshi without cutting down, and sneered: "As a noble race, why should you obey human beings, you have betrayed your own race, what face do you have to face your own people, you are not worthy of being a human being." ”

Fang Shaoshi's face suddenly changed in anger, his words pointed directly at its sore spot, and under the annoyance, he sneered: "You are still so arrogant when you die, hurry up and answer His Majesty the Emperor's words." ”

"You lowly bastard, listen up, I, the commander of the Shi Lunjia Empire, Hai Ya Hun is tender."

Fang Shaoshi's face changed when he heard this, and he looked at the captive in front of him incredulously.

Wang Lang frowned and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Lieutenant Lang on the side translated the conversation between the two to Wang Lang.

"When Fang Shao, what does this Hai Ya Hun mean by his forehead." Wang Lang asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, this Hai Yahun is a big surname of Shi Lunjia, it is a noble bloodline, this family has lasted for thousands of years, and this person is the army commander who has mastered Shi Lunjia, and his status is second only to the king." Fang Shaoshi explained.

Wang Lang raised his eyebrows, and looked at the person in front of him with some surprise, he had heard that he had caught a big man before, but he didn't expect this big fish to be so big.

This person's status is so high that Wang Lang can't pay attention to it for a while, killing such a big man, I think it will be difficult to solve it with Shi Lunjia, but in a blink of an eye, Wang Lang was relieved, he had to go to the old continent, since he was already in a state of war with this dinosaur country, make a feud.

Glancing at the commander of the dinosaur people, he still decided to execute these people, if these people live, it would be a hidden danger to themselves, as long as they lived, these captives would have spiritual leaders, and it would cause great trouble to the management of the human race.

"Let's be executed!" Wang Lang waved his hand.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of able-bodied soldiers came up and pushed the captives to the ground and tied them up.

A cold light flashed, and in the frightened eyes of the ordinary dinosaur people under the altar, the heads were cut off one by one, and the stairs rolled down, and the picture became an indelible nightmare in the hearts of these captives.

The ceremony lasted from morning to dusk, Wang Lang sacrificed to heaven and earth, thanked the gods, the people experienced what is called pride, and the heads of more than 20 dinosaur officers were placed in front of the tombs of warriors to pay tribute to the dead soldiers.

The historians recorded this sacrifice ceremony in detail in the history books, and the descendants of mankind in later generations have a sense of pride from the bottom of their hearts whenever they talk about it.

The students sang the praises of the heroes through their literary attainments, and soon there were even storytellers who told the stories of the heroes at this time, which Wang Lang did not expect.

The war came to an end, three days after the end of the ceremony, all the military officials of the early dynasty were present, and Wang Lang promulgated the reward for the meritorious men in this defensive war.

Wang Lang decided to increase investment in the navy, promoted two admirals as the chief soldier, each to guard the two ports in the east and south, and decided to choose a good place to build a new port in the north, this time the invasion of the dinosaur people, if there are strong defense facilities in the north, the dinosaur people may not be able to set foot on an inch of land in Shenzhou at all.

The improvement of the status of the navy naturally made Li Mu and Wu Gang very excited, and now their official positions were on an equal footing with Lin Jianya or Heijiao, these old ministers who had followed Wang Lang from the beginning, which made them feel extremely satisfied in their hearts.

Lin Jianya looked at the two of them shaking their heads and tails, snorted coldly, and turned his head away, not bothering to pay attention to these two people.

The reward for low-priced officers is nothing more than promotions and copper coins, but for Lin Jianya and Lin Shupi, two people who have reached the peak, how to reward them has become a trouble for the Ministry of Rites.

The method given by Wang Lang is to implement the title system, the title is just a fictitious position, it is a symbol of identity and status, and the title is divided into five classes of dukes, uncles, and men, in order not to make the title cheap, just like this Great Patriotic War, Lin Jianya and the others only got the title of a baron.

The title is an inheritance system, and it will decrease from generation to generation, so the title of baronial title can only be Lin Jianya's generation.

Although the title is a fictitious position, the corresponding Yulu is indeed extremely rich, the lowest baron, the annual Yulu is basically three times as much as the first-grade official of the Xia State, and there are some invisible benefits, such as the right to be exempted from guilt once, of course, this immunity does not include treason.

With Lin Wuyun's explanation of the title system, the officials were extremely envious of Lin Jianya and Lin Shupi, and even Lin Huo, who was the secretary of the military department, regretted being this civil official.

Although the military generals are out of the limelight this time, but in Wang Lang's heart, they still focus on civilian officials, war is not the norm after all, and the famous saying in China that although the country is warlike, it will perish, it is not unreasonable.

As the impact of the war gradually becomes clear, the Xia Kingdom will return to calm sooner or later, the foundation of mankind is still too weak, and the focus of the Xia Kingdom will still shift to the development of population and infrastructure construction.

The future war will be a comprehensive national strength, if you want to get your hands on the old continent, Xia must completely digest the Shenzhou continent, use the rich resources of this continent to continuously strengthen itself, and ensure the safety of its own territory in order to compete with other races for the earth.
