Chapter 1195: Peace
Collapse at the touch of a button!
No, it can't be said that it will collapse at the touch of a button, at least those abyssal armies are still under the impact of Arthur's heavy cavalry, barely resisting two or three rounds, and then the wolf bรจi scattered and fled. Then, just like Wang Zong's army, the abyssal army dispersed with a 'bang', countless abyssal creatures ran away, demons and demons ran away without a trace, and those slave soldiers obediently raised their hands and surrendered.
Arthur fell into a state of extreme excitement, he commanded his army to sweep around, defeated the abyssal army that was constantly scattered and gathered, beat those demons and demons to the point of crying wolf, and then captured a large group of slave soldiers.
Arthur's new regiment also showed extremely strong combat effectiveness, after all, they had experienced several bloody battles, they had seen death, they had even been wounded, so they all wore away the jerkiness and timidity unique to the common people, and gradually transformed into a real warrior.
They may not dare to fight those demons head-on, and they don't have the strength to fight against the strong demons, but in the face of those more weak slave soldiers such as cavemen, gnomes, and black goblins, the soldiers of these recruit legions can easily capture a large number of slave soldiers.
In the course of the first few days of pursuit, three or five thousand recruits were probably able to capture hundreds of slave soldiers.
In the following days, as the morale of the recruits gradually increased. When a brigade of two or three thousand recruits goes out, it can capture four or five thousand slave soldiers.
In the last few days, things have gradually taken a turn in an uncontrollable direction, and often dozens of recruits with spears and shouting at the mouth of a cave will lead to a tribe of cavemen obediently coming out of the cave and entering Arthur's captive camp in droves.
When Arthur came to his senses from the satisfaction and excitement of his victory, Arthur and his henchmen were horrified to find out. Things had gotten to the point where they were out of control - Arthur's huge legions, with an average of thirty captives each taking back.
In other words, Arthur's legion swelled thirtyfold out of thin air!
Countless cave people. Countless gnomes, countless black goblins, countless bear goblins. Countless strange and weak creatures of the abyss, they obediently squatted in the area of the prisoner camp demarcated by Arthur's legion, none of them escaped, none of them rebelled, they just squatted there obediently, opening their mouths to eat and drink as much as they wanted!
It must be admitted that many of Arthur's generals are still relatively humanitarian. Therefore, these captured captives can at least mix two meals of gruel and drink every day, although they can't eat enough. At least not starvation.
The direct consequence of this is that in just half a month, the military rations in Arthur's baggage camp will bottom out!
The cavemen and gnomes, they were small, but they didn't eat much, especially since they were so numerous. Arthur's preparation, which was enough for the entire legion to cope with several months, was almost eaten up in just half a month.
"What the hell is going on?" said Arthur, looking at the urgent report sent by the baggage battalion, a mouthful of blood already holding in his throat.
"It seems that there are too many captives!" a high-ranking leader of the Punishment Knights lowered his head, not daring to look at Arthur's dark face: "Those cave people are very honest. As long as our soldiers shouted, they obediently followed the soldiers, and none of them resisted. โ
"Why are so many captives?" Arthur immediately grasped the crux of the matter.
An embarrassed cough sounded, and another leader of the Punishment Knights drooped his head and cautiously reminded Arthur: "Your Royal Highness, it was you who personally promised before going into battle that you would be rewarded with five silver coins for killing an enemy, and ten silver coins for capturing a prisoner alive. You say that these captives are the best slaves, and they can be used to open mines in the future!"
Arthur's body shook, and he could smell the strong smell of blood coming from his mouth.
"Ten silver coins for a captive?So, how many captives do we have now?" Arthur saw the stars in front of him, and he seemed to see the gold coins in his money bag...... No, he seemed to see his purse with wings, and the whole purse was flapping its wings and flying into the sky, and was about to move away from him.
An archbishop of the Temple of Punishment whispered a frightening and desperate number.
Arthur's mental arithmetic skills were very good, he multiplied this number by ten, and then converted it into the circulating gold coins of the Gallic Empire, he finally couldn't hold back the excitement, a small mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth very gracefully, and then he sat heavily on the chair behind him.
"Why are there so many?" Arthur opened his mouth, "Why are there so many captives?"
The archbishop coughed a few times in a low voice: "The soldiers are working hard...... The cavemen and gnomes, they don't seem to be resisting...... What's worse is that it seems that we are at the peak of the breeding season of the cave people, and there are many pregnant women among them, and they are about to give birth. Depending on the fertility of the cave people, their number will probably triple after a month at most. โ
Arthur's scalp tingled with fright, and he howled hysterically, "How can this be? can't go on like this! Give them all to me......"
Everyone looked at Arthur with an extremely complicated and strange look, and the archbishop said in a deep voice: "We thought about burning them all, but the problem now is that those prisoners are more than thirty times our soldiers, and if we launch a purge against them, if they resist, our soldiers will also suffer terrible losses!"
Arthur's ten fingers were spasming, the muscles of his whole body twitched, and he stared blankly at these high-level bigwigs from the Punishment Temple in front of him, and the smell of blood in his mouth suddenly became strong again.
"So, we ......"
Arthur's mind went blank for a moment, and he turned his head sluggishly, and through the window of the tower, he saw the endless captive camp in front of him, which was as vast as a sea. The huge camp of captives was crowded with people, and the captives were chattering and cheering, holding all kinds of strange containers, and receiving the first rice porridge of the day from the firehead soldiers who distributed rice porridge.
For these abyssal creatures, what they usually eat are mushrooms and other crops grown in the abyss, and crops such as rice and wheat in the surface world are extremely rare and supreme delicacies for them, even those lords, they may not be able to eat a piece of bread and drink a bowl of rice porridge on weekdays!
"How many days will our food last?" said Arthur, in a dry tone.
One of Arthur's confidants lowered his voice and said cautiously: "In three days, a batch of baggage will arrive, and the grain in it, plus the current stockpile, will probably allow us to support us for seven days." The cavemen and gnomes, they were small, but very well eaten, and they were so numerous, that they ate about ten times as much food a day as our own soldiers consumed. โ
Arthur took a deep, deep breath, and then spat out again beautifully with a small mouthful of blood.
His body trembled, and his eyes glazed over as he watched a group of jubilant recruits returning to the camp not far away.
The group of recruit warriors who went out to sweep away the creatures of the abyss consisted of less than fifty men, but they were followed by an entire tribe of cavemen captives. More than 10,000 cavemen lined up in a neat line and walked into the captive camp with great meekness.
The captain of the recruit laughed loudly, and the laughter even reached Arthur and them: "Twelve thousand captives, twelve hundred thousand silver coins!
Arthur's body shook, and at that moment, he had the urge to order Diogo to eat all the recruits.
Less than fifty recruits, more than 10,000 caveman captives have been captured!
Compared to the damage caused by the surprise attack of those cave people when they first entered the Fourth Abyss, the change before and after this is too big, right?
Arthur looked at the people around him without tears, and said with great solemnity: "Find a way to solve the battle, these prisoners, these damned prisoners......"
Before Arthur could finish his words, there was a sudden commotion in the camp. Gradually, the commotion spread from the large camp in the distance, and the sound of dense hooves was heard, and several knights of punishment in golden armor rode wildly, and they rushed to the outside of Arthur's headquarters, shook off their mounts, and rushed into the headquarters as fast as they could.
It didn't take long for the Knights of Punishment to fall to one knee in front of Arthur.
"Your Highness, all the lords of the Fourth Abyss have sent a messenger who wants to conclude a peace pact with us. โ
"The envoys of the other side are now outside the camp, and they say that the Fourth Abyss is an abyssal world that loves peace, and they do not want to get involved in war for no reason, so they want to seek a peaceful solution to the dispute. โ
Arthur and the big men of the Temple of Punishment were dumbfounded, demons and demons are peace-loving creatures? This is probably the most ridiculous lie since the existence of the Abyss World, right?
After a few dry coughs, Arthur waved his hand: "Let me meet their messengers and be polite to them, well, polite!"
Arthur turned his head to look at the boundless captive camp outside, and repeatedly told those punishment knights to be polite to the envoys of the lords of the Fourth Abyss. Now Arthur is thinking about how to get rid of these damn captives, as long as he can get rid of them, Arthur can't care about anything else.
Half an hour later, a white-skinned, bright-eyed, bright-toothed, beautiful succubus, surrounded by four one-horned demons, walked into Arthur's headquarters.
