Chapter 337: The Captive

For other things, maybe the upper echelons of the Orc Empire won't pay too much attention to it, but if anyone dares to rebel against them, it is clear that it is absolutely impossible for the ruling level of any country not to pay attention to it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In this way, as long as anyone dares to do such a thing, unless they really have the strength to compete with an empire, then whoever touches the bottom line of those high-level empires will have to bear their wrath. Under the counterattack of the Empire, the general power will inevitably fall.

That is why Zhou Tian and the Orc Empire are extremely discordant, so no matter who wants to deal with him, unless he finally defeats Zhou Tian and becomes another trouble for the Orc Empire. Otherwise, if ordinary people deal with Zhou Tian, as long as they promise certain benefits to the orc empire, most of the high-level orc empire leaders will choose to turn a blind eye to their behavior.

Victory, because of the reason for helping them solve Zhou Tian's henchmanship, as long as a certain benefit is given to the high-level of the Orc Empire, no one or force can defeat Zhou Tian without worrying about the retaliation of the Orc Empire.

And even if they were defeated like them now, in the eyes of those high-level chambers of commerce at that time, their situation at this time was far from the point of exhaustion. At least as long as they find a way to escape from Zhou Tian's territory, then they will not help them deal with Zhou Tian head-on, and it is estimated that the forces of the Orc Empire will also interfere with Zhou Tian. can leave some enemies for Zhou Tian, and those orc empire leaders who are unhappy with Zhou Tian will not let Zhou Tian clear the troubles.

So......

Almost without thinking about it, unless they didn't know what was happening in Zhou Tian's territory, according to the thoughts of those high-level orc empires, they would 100% take action to protect the enemies that Zhou Tian wanted to kill.

In this way, according to the situation at that time, it was only necessary for the group of people in the Chamber of Commerce to escape from Zhou Tian's territory, and then there would be a response from the forces of the Orc Empire, even if Zhou Tian was unhappy, and in the case of the Orc Empire at that time, it would not be easy for him to leave those enemies behind.

Or it can be said directly that according to the situation at the time, it is good that there is no conflict with the orc empire just by relying on Zhou Tian's own strength, but if a conflict breaks out between the two sides, there is no way to defeat those orcs with Zhou Tian's strength. If it really develops like that, even if Zhou Tian can barely block a catastrophe, he doesn't know how much loss he will have to bear.

Therefore, including Zhou Tian himself, it is very clear that at this moment, whether those people in the Chamber of Commerce can escape from their territory has become a very critical point. As long as those people did not leave Zhou Tian's territory, then no matter how Zhou Tian treated them, it was an internal matter of Zhou Tian's territory, even if the high-level of the orc empire wanted to interfere again, there was no suitable reason, and they would definitely not easily do that kind of thing that would attract criticism at that time.

But if those people in the Chamber of Commerce escaped from Zhou Tian's territory, in order to leave more enemies for Zhou Tian, then they would only save those people by then, but it would only be a matter of one sentence.

In the final analysis, compared to the power of the high-level of the Orc Empire at that time, even if Zhou Tian had already gained the attention of the other party at this time, if the other party really wanted to do something, it would be difficult to stop it.

Therefore, although Zhou Tian did not give up his revenge on them after the other party left his territory, if he did, he still did not want to increase the difficulty of his revenge. If he could take out the enemy right now, he wouldn't let them leave his territory.

As for Zhou Tian's thoughts, those under his command don't say anything clearly, but they can still guess in their hearts. And according to those people's thoughts, Zhou Tian did not want those enemies to leave his territory, and they also did not want to leave these enemies to bring danger to their future.

In this way, those people in the chamber of commerce want to live, but the people under Zhou Tian want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. At that time, the two sides faced each other, and it was clear from thinking that a big war was absolutely inevitable.

"Boom, boom!"

Because of each other's positions, at that time, whether it was the people on the side of the Chamber of Commerce or the people under Zhou Tian, they all had a reason to fight with all their might. According to the situation at that time, after the two sides faced each other, the battle was very fierce.

Undoubtedly, in terms of strength alone, Zhou Tian's men and horses must be stronger than those in the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the ones who can get on the back of the wurm are definitely not weak, unless Zhou Xia gives them a death order and gives them a certain compensation, otherwise according to the character of the wurm, they are not stronger than them in terms of strength, and they have no interest in letting the other party ride.

In this way, since the people who were able to ride on the backs of those wurms at that time and rush over to stop those Chamber of Commerce deserters were the strong men under Zhou Tian. In this way, in terms of strength alone, even if all the mercenaries invited by those chambers of commerce at that time were mercenaries, in terms of strength, they were still not as strong as Zhou Tian's men.

It's just that, although in terms of individual strength, the strong men under Zhou Tian are stronger than those enemies. But because only some of Zhou Tian's subordinates came to block this time, in terms of quantity, the team under Zhou Tian that blocked was far inferior to the other party.

In terms of the overall strength of the two sides alone, although it is not easy to break through, as long as those chambers of commerce work together, there is actually some hope for them to escape from Zhou Tian's territory.

It's a pity not to mention that Zhou Tian made some other arrangements for those enemies to escape, but now those chambers of commerce that have fled are not likely to work together to meet the enemy.

Even those in the Chamber of Commerce know very well that if they want to survive at this time, then cooperation is definitely an inevitable choice. But because they had escaped by betraying their allies before, how could they be at ease with their current allies?

In this way, while dealing with the resistance of Zhou Tian's men, the inevitable people also started their own small calculations at that time. While thinking about breaking through, those people only think about other people's contributions, and if they can, it's best to try to preserve their own strength.

When those people in the Chamber of Commerce were almost fighting with Zhou Tian with that idea, it was conceivable how much strength they could exert.

Undoubtedly, according to the situation at that time, it was almost impossible for those chamber of commerce coalition forces to break through the resistance of the strong men under Zhou Tian. In the end, in that situation, when those Chamber of Commerce coalition forces had no way to kill them out of the blocking line under Zhou Tian's men, they were directly entangled by the other party and stayed in place.

And when those people couldn't get out, the other teams under Zhou Tian followed them and directly killed the tail of their team. And after seeing the battle situation in front of him from a distance, he immediately made the decision to join the war as soon as possible.

As a result, when the remaining other private soldiers under Zhou Tian also participated in that battle, the group of mercenaries who could still fight against Zhou Tian's private army were immediately defeated.

"We surrender!"

There were some surprises, but it was also a reasonable reaction, when they found that they were no match for Zhou Tian at all, and now they were defeated, those people in the Chamber of Commerce who were still fighting with Zhou Tian's private army directly chose to surrender at that time. After all, they are not warriors themselves, even if they have a certain strength, the habits of merchants will not change in any way, they can do a lot of things for profit, but let them die like a warrior, then they do not have that determination.

Even if those mercenaries were so determined, they couldn't afford to take their lives because of the promises made by those chambers of commerce. In this way, under the circumstance that Zhou Tian's side had completely gained the upper hand at that time, and they would definitely be able to eliminate them all in the near future, unless they were really not afraid of death, it was naturally not surprising that those people on the side of the Chamber of Commerce chose to surrender.

In the face of the other party's reaction at that time, Zhou Tian was also surprised, but after reacting later, his movements were not slow at all.

"Confiscate their weapons, and whoever dares to resist will be killed on the spot!"

"Yes!"

Zhou Xia's order to collect the enemy's weapons and put them in custody did not meet with much backlash, and even the private soldiers and mercenaries of the Chamber of Commerce did not resist. After all, the members of the team pulled out by the Chamber of Commerce this time almost all came to deal with Zhou Tian after looking at the money. No matter what they originally thought, when faced with a life-and-death crisis, those people had no intention of sacrificing their lives to help those chambers of commerce.

In this way, if they can really confront Zhou Tian's side, maybe those people will really sacrifice their lives in the process of that confrontation. But now that the war started and was defeated, the presiding officers of those chambers of commerce themselves have surrendered, and they continue to insist at this time, so what's the point?

As a result, Zhou Tian relied on the power in his hands, knowing that there was such a group of enemies targeting him, but he didn't make too many preparations, just using the power in his hands, he easily defeated the group of Chamber of Commerce coalition forces.

It can be said with certainty that although those chambers of commerce have not been destroyed now, the main combat power has been completely defeated by Zhou Tian. And then, if there are no accidents, it is estimated that they will not be swallowed up by other chambers of commerce, and if they want to develop again in a short period of time, it will already become an unlikely thing.

At least if there are no accidents, Zhou Tian will not have to worry about those chambers of commerce becoming his enemies in the future.

At this moment, there is only one problem that Zhou Tian needs to consider, and that is how to deal with those enemies who have surrendered. After all, based on what that Chamber of Commerce had done before, they must have become Zhou Tian's enemies. In this way, since those people became Zhou Tian's enemies at that time, it is not too much to say no matter how Zhou Tian treats them.

Just before, after Zhou Tian took the advantage, he didn't show any softness to the enemies on the side of the Chamber of Commerce, and it was good that it didn't fall into his hands, but if anyone was defeated, then the people who were almost defeated in Zhou Tian's hands were almost directly slaughtered at that time.

In this way, since he also regarded the group of people in front of him as enemies, according to Zhou Tian's previous mentality, those enemies who surrendered at that time, if Zhou Tian was willing, he should also kill them directly.

But the problem now is that, for whatever reason, it was a fact that the group of people at that time voluntarily surrendered. And in the case that they have already surrendered, it is a little too much to say that Zhou Tian will kill the prisoners again. After all, it is almost a consensus not to kill prisoners, and if Zhou Tian dares to break that rule today, tomorrow there may be a burst of scolding. Even if Zhou Tian didn't care about his reputation, he must also consider what impact he would have if he did so at that time.

For example, when outsiders fight Zhou Tian again, if they know that Zhou Tian has a history of killing prisoners, then they are considered invincible, but they are afraid that no one will dare to surrender again! In this way, even if it is only to make some of the enemy fight to the death in the future, it will greatly increase the number of casualties under Zhou Tian's men.

What's more, doing such a thing is very damaging to reputation, and if Zhou Tian wants to develop his territory, a good reputation cannot be lacking. In this way, if you really damage your image in the hearts of outsiders because of this incident, then this loss cannot be made up for by killing a group of enemies.

It's just that if you don't kill these people right now, then letting them go doesn't mean that the other party will remember his favor. If given the opportunity in the future, they may still be its enemies.

It is not impossible for that situation to occur, after all, those who surrendered at that time only surrendered because they were afraid of dying at the hands of Zhou Tian. In this way, while thinking about survival, it is estimated that they will definitely not forget the previous experience, and if one of their relatives and friends died in the previous war, even if they hate Zhou Tian Yi because of this, it is not impossible.

Undoubtedly, when those who surrender now regain their freedom one day in the future, it is estimated that they will still choose to be the enemy of Zhou Tian when they have a chance. And as long as Zhou Tian can't deal with the other party once, then the loss at that time will definitely make him regret today's decision.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to kill those prisoners, but it is also extremely difficult to get Zhou Tian to let the other party go. And it was in the dilemma environment at that time that how to deal with those prisoners became a headache for Zhou Tian at that time.

"Why don't you leave them all!"

Kill or not kill, let go or not, according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian had the idea of leaving those prisoners. Although it is estimated that the current image of those captives will not be very good, and he may become his enemies in the future. However, as long as it is well controlled, it will not be easy for these captives to get out, and if Zhou Tian controls these people by then, it will not only save a lot of trouble, but even use these captives, and get some other benefits at that time.
