Chapter 718: [Blatant Confrontation]
On the day of House's defeat, Ye Ling immediately sent people to Monterey and Barstow, lest anyone take advantage of the situation and seize the fruits of his victory.
At this time, all the available direct subordinate forces Liliang had been drawn into the army, and the local subordinate Liliang did not dare to resist, and Ye Ling successfully became the new master of the two cities.
The people of Barstow were afraid that the new lord would be angry with him because of his assumption of office, but Ye Ling did not, except for the change of ownership, the operation of the city had hardly changed from before.
With this kind of territorial annexation that accompanies war, the new lord will always encounter some problems, and that is how to deal with the armed liliang of the former lord.
When House came to the Ancient Wilderness, he raised a group of his dead henchmen, about 300 or so, but he took all of them with him, and was killed in that battle for stubborn resistance.
Although House's legion was completely defeated, however, there were quite a few soldiers who survived, most of the nearly 10,000 people were spared, and a rough estimate of 6,000 remained, mainly because those soldiers who were swallowed by the shadow of death were only frightened by fear and lost consciousness, not even physically injured, but only mentally traumatized, but after a period of time, they could recover.
In addition, Ye Ling specially told him to stay alive, so some of the people who fought with his subordinates were only injured and incapacitated, and they were not killed, plus those who surrendered, there were many of them, in fact, those who were killed were basically done by monsters.
However, even so, those soldiers who surrendered were still a little resentful of the new lord, because many of the soldiers who died on the field were their own partners and comrades-in-arms, and they must have had a bad feeling in their hearts when they encountered misfortune.
If you don't unravel this mustard and can't win their hearts, you won't be able to make good use of this newly injected liliang.
So, this is the first problem that Ye Ling has to solve after becoming the new owner of Barsto.
After a few days, after the war had been decided, and the change of the city's management was basically completed, Ye Ling gathered the soldiers of the original Barsto.
When Ye Ling appeared, he found that many of them were glaring at him with angry and resentful eyes.
Although they were forced to surrender in order to survive, they were not convinced by the new lord.
Ye Ling had already expected this to be the case, and he was not surprised, he slowly opened his voice: "I know, many of you hate me to the bone, right?"
There was silence below, no one answered, of course they didn't dare to say the word "yes", but they expressed their dissatisfaction with silence.
"That's right, because I killed your friends, your partners, and your brothers, many of them died very badly, some of them were incomplete, and some of them didn't even have scum left!" Ye Ling's eyes narrowed: "But, so what, to be honest, I don't think enough people have been killed, they haven't died badly enough!"
His words immediately made all the soldiers angry, this lord who slaughtered thousands of his own people was so brutal!
"Lord Jiuyang, you demon, my brother died at your hands, you still dare to say such cool words!" A short-tempered soldier was furious: "Although we are not related by blood, we are closer than our own brothers, and now he has been killed by you, do you know, he still has parents to raise, as well as a wife and a daughter who has just been born for two months to take care of, you cut off the hope of his family, so that they will live in grief forever in the future!"
The soldier's insult surprised everyone, although they also hated this Jiuyang Lord, but they could only scold in their hearts, if they spoke out, it would be a disaster to kill.
The soldier who scolded Ye Ling seemed to have gotten out of his mind, because he had a deep relationship with that brother, although he surrendered at the time, but when he thought about it later, he was heartbroken, and felt that it was no longer interesting to continue to live on this shijie, and now he was stimulated by Ye Ling, and he couldn't help but explode.
Ye Ling didn't react, just looked at him coldly and didn't speak.
The soldier cursed and scolded, and suddenly ran out, and the giant long sword slashed towards Ye Ling: "Demon, I want to kill you, avenge my brother, go and die!"
Everyone sighed, knowing that this soldier was finished, and he dared to openly contradict him, and even met the new lord with a blade, and no one could save him.
Of course, compared to Ye Linglai, this soldier's Liliang is really pitifully weak.
Before slashing the other party, the orange light flashed, and the soldier couldn't see Ye Ling's movements clearly, the long sword in his hand was kicked out, Ye Ling's kick also took advantage of the momentum to kick him in the stomach, kicking the soldier away, his abdomen was like a knife, and he was in severe pain, and he couldn't get up anymore, but he was still screaming and scolding in his mouth.
Ye Ling came to him, squatted down, and raised his hand.
Many soldiers closed their eyes, unable to bear to see their comrades killed on the spot.
When it was, all they heard was two crunch sounds.
"Smack, smack!"
Ye Ling opened his bow left and right and slapped it in the face of the fallen soldier: "Do you know the reason why I want to kill you all?"
The soldier said angrily: "Needless to say, of course, it's because you are cruel and treat life as a mustard!"
"Of course, you can think so too!" Ye Ling said expressionlessly: "But, for me, there is only one reason why I want to kill you all, and that is because, my brother, is also dead!"
The soldier asked for a moment, but he didn't expect that Ye Ling's answer would be this.
"Grass, Quan Shijie is your brother dead, my brother is not dead?Quan Shijie is your brother has parents, wife and children, my brother is not!" Ye Ling's emotions suddenly erupted like a volcano: "My brother's life, is it worthless?" Your brother's death is a damn thing, because you are the shameful aggressors, and my brother, we just want to live well and enjoy a peaceful life, but because of your appearance, you want to invade our city, they lost their lives to protect their relatives, how can their parents, wives and children live?"
The soldier's face was red and white from being scolded by Ye Ling, the pain of losing his brother filled his heart with hatred, and now he was scolded by Ye Ling, and he remembered that it was the original lord who took him to attack other people's cities first, which led to the catastrophe.
