The soldiers who had surrendered to the enemy gathered together, collected their weapons and equipment, and were taken to a place in the family compound, where they were to be tortured by the priests to ensure their sincerity before they could officially join our family.

It was time for the aftermath of the battle, and the mortally wounded and fallen of our soldiers were neatly arranged in two rows, and the priests walked back and forth among them, clutching Rose's badge and praying aloud, reaching out to touch the wounded or dead lying on the ground, the white light from the palms of their hands extending over them.

The wounded's miserable wounds were healed by the introduction of positive energy, and they picked up their weapons again to join the ranks of other healthy soldiers. The deceased, though still looking weak after being resurrected, sat up in his own right.

But there are still many dead soldiers who can never get up again......

There are some spells that don't work quite the same on players and NPCs. Several spells of resurrection are one of them.

Whether it is the fifth-level divine technique "Resurrection of the Dead", the seventh-level divine technique "Resurrection" or the ninth-level divine technique "Complete Resurrection", the resurrection of the dead requires the consent of the soul of the recipient to resurrect, and if the recipient is unwilling to resurrect, the spell will be invalid. The soul can know the name, faction, and faith of the person who wants to resurrect it, and may therefore refuse to resurrect it, so as to avoid resurrecting the hostile forces and causing them another harm. So if you use a resurrection spell on a player, as long as the player doesn't refuse, the spell is 100% effective, but NPCs are very different.

The success rate of using resurrection on NPCs is low, and it is also reduced by the destruction of corpses and the prolonged time to die. The official explanation is that when a living creature dies, its soul will leave the physical realm and travel through the astral realm to the realm where his god is located. If he does not believe in any gods, the destination of the soul is determined according to the faction. Souls will gradually forget their memories over time, and eventually merge with their realm (or godly realm) and be reborn as true otherworldly beings. Souls will desire to merge with their realm, unless they are concerned with the physical realm. Resurrection is a painful process that the soul may not be willing to accept, and the destruction of the corpse will reduce the soul's attachment to the material world, and the resurrection time will be prolonged, and the soul will gradually forget its memories of life with the passage of time. Obviously, this is for NPCs, the player will not be in pain in the process of resurrection, and the player's soul will not lose its memory or become an otherworldly creature, but can be resurrected in a nearby temple on its own without the help of others.

The soldiers who could not be resurrected were eventually treated the same as the soldiers killed in the round spider family, and the equipment items on the corpses were stripped away and dragged away.

I don't want to imagine how our family handles corpses, and it's said that food is running tight in Demon Blade City right now. Of course, I don't doubt that they will be food on our tables, but that kind of thing is said to have only happened in the early days when our Dark Elves were driven underground by the surface elves, and it is the account of the Complete History of the Dark Elves that I read in the library, which contains everything from the dawn (the long years before the settling, when the dark elves lived in a terrible sunlit world) to the present time when the dark elves widely controlled the dark lands and the endless wealth and magical power within them. The history of the period from the beginning to the Dark Regions is haunting as a nightmare, when the environment was quite harsh, and in the desperate lack of food resources, the dark elves resorted to the predators to control the population and serve as a source of food for the survivors. Although the food supply in Demon Blade City is a little tight now, it is far from that level, and the dark elves are no longer the weak and helpless newcomers they used to be, but the formidable and strongest race in the dark region, and there are many ways to solve problems.

However, compared to the surface, the Dark Regions are a barren world with scarce resources, and the Dark Elves do not have the custom of most races on the surface to respect the dead, and have learned to use all the resources available to them from the suffering of their ancestors. Corpses are the main material used to create flesh golems, and some necromantic spells are also used, but that's not the point...... Legend has it that the ranch on the island of Lothmon in the center of Lake Modong uses a feed mixed with minced flesh and bone to feed the vegetarian Lothmon, allowing it to grow faster. I've also been skeptical that the mushroom farms outside the city can produce fatter edible mushrooms than anywhere else.

I watched the soldiers who could not be resurrected being dragged away, and suddenly remembered something, and turned to Ayton to ask, "Won't we just forget about the attack, how is the master mother going to deal with the round spider family?" ”

"This is over," Ayton said, "The Darkflame Clan wins, and the Round Spider Clan will be reduced to nothing." At that time, the light from the pillar extends a few more squares, and the master mother will file a solemn complaint against the Round Spider family to the glorious ruling council of Demon Blade City, and the most powerful of the eight ruling families will judge the round spider family's stupidity. He smiled cruelly, "According to convention, the Round Spider family that failed to attack will not be left alive. ”

I asked curiously, "So will it be the forces of the eight ruling families who will execute the judgment?" ”

"No, normally, the enforcers of the law would be all the teachers and students of the Demon Blade City Academy."

"What will happen to the civilians, slaves, and property of the Round Spider family?" I asked.

"After enforcing the law, that family will only be left in ruins!" Ayton was getting impatient.

Ignoring Ayton's emotions, I continued to ask, "Executing the law doesn't kill all the civilian slaves of that family, does it?" ”

"The remaining commoners and slaves were usually pooled and offered to the families to bid on."

"So...... In the final analysis, who will ultimately fall into the hands of the post-auction benefits? ”

"Naturally, it's the ruling council! Is there anything else you would like to ask? Ayton's face revealed that he was getting more and more impatient, and it looked like he was about to have a seizure.

"No......" I replied cringe. Ayton immediately turned around and left.

"Ah~~~ Actually, there's one more thing I want to ask you......" I called Ayton again.

Ayton paused slightly, but continued to walk away without looking back. I shouted, "I don't understand...... Why should we let others take advantage? ”

"What did you say?" Ayton couldn't continue to remain indifferent now, and turned back to ask.
