Chapter 19 Problem Solving (Happy Chinese New Year)
The released necromancer left the camp and did not immediately look for his comrades, but first found a place, meditated for an hour or two, and after fully recovering his mana, he used several spells to prevent detection and tracking on himself before setting out to find other necromancers.
Of course, he had a way to contact other necromancers, and it only took him less than half a day to find the necromancers hidden in an underground cavern.
Unlike the original brigade of hundreds of people, there were only a dozen undead souls left in the vicinity at this moment. Because of the defeat of the war, the brigade has long returned to their stronghold, leaving these people behind just to facilitate contact.
"What? those humans are going to do business with us?!" Listening to his introduction, a high-ranking necromancer in charge of this stronghold was shocked, only the skull's jaw almost fell to the ground, "Is there something wrong with their brains?"
"Probably, but I think at least they're clear-minded. Only talk about business, not about war. At that time, I also asked, what if there is a fight again in the middle of doing business? They said that if they want to fight, they are welcome, and if they want to do business, they are welcome. ”
“...... It's hard to understand the way people think, and we never thought that way when we were alive. ”
"God knows, we've been dead for a long time. ”
The two of them (dead people are also people?) discussed for a while, and roughly decided on this matter, and then used magic to contact the high-level of the necromantic forces, and asked for instructions to apply for supplies by the way.
To treat 7,000 people, the amount of medicine needed is not small, and this stronghold is not large, and it is impossible to get so many medicines.
Hearing that the traversers were going to do business with them, the high-level of the necromantic forces were also thundered, and they asked them again and again, turning over a few simple questions and asking them many times, if it wasn't for the fact that the necromancy was not affected by illusions, they even suspected that this captain had fallen for the spell.
But in the end, they agreed to the deal.
Anyway, it's just an antidote for 7,000 civilians, and it can be exchanged for more than 20 necromancers who have already achieved preliminary results, so no matter how you look at it, you won't lose anything.
Moreover, they also have the intention of making friends with the forces that can summon huge magical beasts and can also repel legendary powerhouses head-on.
The current necromantic forces are not the behemoths that will shake the world in the future and make all the countries of the Western Continent frightened, although their strength is already very strong, but they are divided into several organizations, and they have not yet been truly unified, and there is not even a preliminary covenant. The organization of "The Walking Dead Wasteland" is not particularly strong in the necromantic forces, because they specialize in training a large number of middle and low-level troops, as for those high-end troops, they can't be trained, and even they themselves are not considered high-end in the necromantic profession.
In the entire "Walking Dead Wasteland", there are only two powerhouses of the legendary rank in total, so naturally they don't have the confidence to fight against the traversers.
And...... They also felt that the traversers had a point.
War is war, business is business.
They are willing to do business with the Thracians, and they don't mind doing business with the enemies of Thrace, not to mention that this business is very safe, as long as they don't admit it, even if the traversers claim that the antidote comes from them, there is no evidence on the Thracian side, and there is nothing they can do.
However, when their envoys visited the temporary camp of the traversers, they still made a point of emphasizing "not to spread the word about this business".
Of course, the traversers said that they would never spread the word - others didn't think as much as they did, and it was taboo for the living to do business with the undead, and they didn't want to get into trouble.
With the good faith of both parties, the deal was successfully negotiated. The traversers paid for the captives in exchange for an antidote that could remove the toxins from the seven thousand strong men.
As for the question of spells...... The spell aspect is not a problem, there is more than one necromancer in the traverser, and it is not difficult for them to disarm the spell.
It's just that if you don't detoxify first, it won't be useful after the spell is lifted, but it may make these people panic or even fall ill. That's why they thought about the detoxification first, and put the detoxification at the back.
The antidote is a viscous potion that is dissolved in large amounts of cold water and then given to the poisoned Thracians who are stunned, and after some vomiting and diarrhea, they are able to remove the toxin.
Two days later, the poison was lifted, the curse was lifted, and in front of the traversers were 7,000 civilians from the eastern and southern border regions of Thrace.
Yes, just civilians, not even militias.
Although they had initially returned to normal and had just had a full meal, they were all in a state of low spirits, their eyes were blank, and they didn't look much better than before.
Because the traversers have announced that those who are caught this time will be severely punished for the crime of invading Tara Khan.
In the Western Continent, if you want to say "severe punishment", it is probably nothing more than whipping, chopping or hanging, even if the lightest of the three, there are often cases of the tortured person dying due to wound infection, not to mention chopping hands, it is commonplace to overbleed to the dead. These civilians were not very bold, and when they heard the word "severe punishment", they were already panicked, and they could barely stand up, and they had already received the blessing of the full meal just now.
Sanyu stood on the makeshift platform and scanned the group of people with a majestic gaze, but all the Thracian civilians he saw, even if they didn't meet his eyes, felt frightened, and many of them stood unsteadily and collapsed on the ground.
Sanyu's pair of jackal-like eyes are a very important talent for him, with the help of these eyes, he can perform several special skills, and "coercion" is one of them.
In the face of his coercion, these civilians would be afraid even if they had no ghosts in their hearts, not to mention that they were already afraid.
After a while, in a state of trembling, Sanyu announced his punishment plan.
Servitude.
"Your sins will be converted into hard labor. Sanyu said, "Before the labor is completed, you will have no vacation, no salary, let alone start a family." All this will have to wait until the end of the servitude. ”
"Considering that you are only accomplices to this invasion, we can be lenient and reduce what should have been ten years of hard labor to five years. But don't have any illusions that you can run away or resist...... To be honest, I'm actually a little looking forward to seeing one or two people who don't know how to do that, so that you can see how we do it......"
On the stage, Sanyu smiled with a very vicious expression.
In the audience, the captured Thracian civilians looked at each other with a blank face uncooperative, without the slightest panic on their faces.
