The number of knights who laid down their arms and surrendered was one hundred and eight, a number that made Vincent wonder.

It's a pity that as a demon royal family, although they also have a lot of power and prestige, they have no plans to Zhao'an at all.

Considering that most of these knights, who were mostly nobles, had territories and were worth a considerable amount, for the sake of the gold coins, Vincent gave up his plan to sacrifice them alive to the demon god when celebrating the victory.

Lock them up for a few days, and when the Herodians sense that something is wrong, they can be used as pawns in negotiations.

In addition, in view of the fact that Karl, the deputy head of the Knights, was quite tough and did not surrender voluntarily, Vincent still decided to make them prisoners with a little dignity and did not abuse and torture them at will.

As a fun-loving man whose goal in life is to be carefree and lose his mind, Vincent has no interest in provoking a bigger war.

In order to conceal his true intentions, he still put on an arrogant and belligerent posture in front of his subordinates and captives.

The next morning, the remnants of the infantry in Sweetwater Village, which had been burned to ruins, surrendered without a fight.

They are all tool people who are bound by territorial obligations, and they go out to fight to earn more than a dozen silver coins a month, what kind of life do they play!

To die for the old man is to shout, no one is really stupid to this extent.

Then there was the aftermath, and since he had never fought with a foreign intervention or captured so many prisoners, Vincent had to spend a little more time dealing with it.

Not killing nobles in war is already an unspoken rule of the battlefield, which is also the starting point of the knights when they plan to surrender from the beginning, so they are not too worried about their lives.

More than personal safety, they think more about how much appetite the demons have for the ransom and how much damage this failure will cause to their family business.

There are even some soft-boned guys who suggest to the demons that if the lord must follow the traditional custom of performing blood sacrifices, they are willing to exchange their servants and peasants for their own lives.

Or use the soldiers brought this time to pay the ransom, anyway, when you go back, you can tell the family that the whereabouts of the peasants are unknown, and even the bereavement pension has been saved.

For those infantry who completely lost their fighting spirit after seeing the defeat and surrender of their masters, and finally surrendered one after another, Vincent did not intend to sacrifice these tool men with blood.

Facts speak louder than words, let this group of low-level people see that the old men are greedy for life and afraid of death, and would rather sacrifice them to save their lives and not be human, so as to have a chance to make them become an unstable factor for Herod.

You can't go wrong with the majority and the few.

The more instable Herod is, the safer his territory will be.

However, as a high-level demon who respects tradition, Vincent is not completely non-mainstream, and some things still have to be done in the end, otherwise he will be asked by his father and brothers when he turns around, and he will have to think about how to explain it.

"Tell me, where are the members and imams of the Freedom Cult?" Vincent said to the knights, who had become extremely deferential after their surrender, "If you want to kneel down and lick the evil gods and intend to take their place, I can also respect your choice."

"If anyone joins this cult or doesn't report it, I will make him worse than dead, and regret not dying on the battlefield."

"If you can't catch enough people, and the blood sacrifice is missing the sacrifice, I'll replace it with you."

Hearing Vincent's words, the knights, in the spirit of the Dead Dao Friends and the Poor Dao, began to expose the cultists hiding in the captives.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, Vincent didn't know that even the nobles had cult believers, and there were magicians who had also joined the free cult.

Of course, in addition to the genuine cultists, Vincent also encountered another cultist who was exposed, but after investigation, it was discovered that these people were just unlucky ghosts who were pushed out and stabbed because of the contradictions and grievances between the nobles.

In addition, there are many cultists hiding among the soldiers, trying to fish in troubled waters.

It is a pity that in front of real farmers, they cannot hide at all from their appearance or behavior.

There are also physical features, which cannot be concealed.

The militiamen of Sweetwater Village were pardoned by the lord and were also angrily taken prisoner

Cultists were identified in captives.

These cultists, who had been ostentatious in the village before, and who wanted everyone to kneel at their feet to worship, showed their feet one after another.

The arrest of the cultists this time can be said to be the largest number encountered in the course of counterinsurgency, with a total of four sect chiefs and 18 followers, as well as more than 50 new believers who have joined the cult.

The capture of the captives was in full view of the public, and this was also a special arrangement made by Vincent.

There are some things that need to be exposed in broad daylight so that people who don't know the truth can be educated.

Among the captives who were held together, Vincent's men began to capture the cultists one by one.

It's ridiculous that some of these people really think that they are fighting for freedom from the hands of the demons, and have devoted themselves to a just cause that will make the race free, and death will give them eternal life.

"Look at these poor villagers, they have lost everything and have not been free." On the execution ground, Vincent said to everyone, "Forgiving cultists is a matter of the gods, and all I have to do is send them to the gods."

Not surprisingly, after their identities were revealed, both cult leaders erupted with evil power and turned into terrifying monsters to resist stubbornly.

Vincent and his subordinates were mentally prepared for this, but the terrifying image of the cultist still shocked the villagers and captives of Sweetwater Village.

In particular, Schalke and Rams, who were barely able to walk, were shocked to see the cultists who had turned into man-eating monsters, and they were glad that they had made a wise choice and did not have to be at the mercy of the demon fetus.

However, turning into monsters could not change their mortal fate much, and this time before even the monsters could make a move, two of Vincent's subordinates stepped forward to fight the terrifying monsters.

However, the course of the two battles is very different.

The blonde knight of the two, as pretty as a rose, faced the monster with teeth and claws, and just drew her sword and slashed hard, causing the monster to turn into two piles of rotten flesh under a dazzling golden light.

Holy Sword!

The power of God's grace!

The girl's sassy heroic posture and strong strength made the proud knights feel admiration and even admiration.

On the other side, Sadaka, who hated cults incomparably, engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the monster with his bare hands, and the ferocity and tenacity of his fists to the flesh were impressive.

The two sides fought bloody, primitive and furious, so that the captives were both terrified and unable to take their eyes off.

The disgusting tentacles and limbs were torn apart one by one and thrown all over the ground under the pain of the orc's minions.

The tall and fat monster gradually lost its opponent and let out a terrible howl, while Sadaka was attacked as if he was completely unconscious, just immersed in the thrill of revenge.

If you don't know what he's been through in the past, it's likely that you'll think he's a bloodthirsty and perverted butcher, and you'll be afraid from the bottom of your heart.

By this time, all the captives had reached a consensus - it was fortunate that they did not directly fight this mad leopard, otherwise they would have been eaten alive and their bones would have been lost.

In this battle, which at first resembles a battle, then a dissection, Sadaka proves to his captives with indisputable strength that it is the right thing to do after surrendering.

When the beautiful fur of his whole body was stained red with blood, and the cult monster had completely turned into a mess of rotten flesh beyond recognition, Sadaka shook off the filth on his body with great satisfaction, and then glanced at the other captives with cold eyes.

At night, half of the cultists were hanged, and the other half was given to the bishop who supported the rebellion as a stepping stone to his high position.

In addition, Vincent compensated the Church Guard with the captured horses, much to the satisfaction of both the Bishop and Sir Marras.

Of course, Schiff, who considers himself the head of the Knights of the Territory, is not very satisfied.

The village is no longer inhabitable, and the few villagers can only temporarily cut down trees and build sheds in some dilapidated houses.

Schalke, who was jumping left and right, as the person in charge of assisting in guarding the prisoners, was undoubtedly in a complicated and chaotic mood these days.

What will happen to you next, and how the children will survive in the future, are all lets

The reason for his worries.

Deal with the Transhirod, and it is destined to be his turn.

Just as he was absent-minded, staring at the captives who were locked up like captive animals in a daze, Rams came to his side.

"Father, my lord, please."

"It's so late, is there something wrong with him looking for me?"

"Please go drink."
