"What's wrong, Tina?" said Nia, worried.

Tina hugged Nia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and cried even louder, "I...... I thought I was dead......"

"How could the great hero of Copper Mountain die?" Cross comforted.

Tina gently pushed Nia away, unhugging her, she wiped her tears, her emotions were still unstable, her body was still twitching, "You guys...... You're not going to leave me......

Nia directly hugged Tina in her arms and stroked Tina's back with both hands, "No, we want to be together forever." ”

"Well, Tina, we're going to be together forever. Cross chimed in.

Seeing that Tina's mood was not stable and her body was not recovering, Cross didn't plan to ask her some questions now, so let her recover well.

Close told Nia to take good care of Tina, and she left first.

This time, Tina was able to defeat the Kingdom of Seatta like this, and for the alchemy she studied, Cross would also increase her support.

It's ridiculous that the weak town of Copperhill can rely on Tina's special weapons to survive in the end......

Cross shook his head helplessly, and laughed secretly: It's really ridiculous, the root cause of the failure of this battle is his own carelessness, but it can't be ruled out that the commander of the Seayada army has extraordinary military talent.

Cross guessed that Reinhardt was no match for the Seajarta army, because even Cross himself had suffered a big loss in the battle of Blackwater.

This battle, Cross must reflect, but now is not the time.

Now, he had something more urgent and critical to deal with, and that was the matter of the captives of Seajarda.

"Hello Lord!"

Cross's thoughts were interrupted by the greetings of the two people.

Cross was also relieved to see his people follow him sincerely, and he happened to ask the two men about where the captives were being held.

"Do you know where the captives are held?"

The two of them were stunned, surprised and delighted, and the two who used to hate Cross's tirade were now surprised that they could talk to Cross.

"My lord, just keep going all the way to the end, and then turn right to the end. One of them replied excitedly.

The other was visibly more agitated and just nodded.

Cross smiled, "Thank you." Then he left.

The two men danced excitedly in place.

"Your Excellency actually said thank you! ”

"Obviously it was said to me, and it was me who looked at it when he said thank you!"

"You didn't say a word just now, only me was showing him the way. ”

"I won't fight with you, he said this thank you to the two of us. ”

"Alright, let's go tell the others about this. ”

"Good!"

......

Following the tips of the two people, Cross found the place where the captives were being held.

This place is the worst environment of the whole ship, however, there are no other drawbacks other than dimness. It's just that the number of captives is a bit large and it looks a little crowded.

The captives didn't react when they saw Cross, and they sat there obediently.

It was Reiner who was guarding the captives.

"Lord Cross. Seeing Cross's arrival, Reiner saluted.

"Where's Gawain?"

"He went to rest. ”

"Alas...... When will Gawain integrate into Copper Mountain Town......"

Cross was still a little disappointed in Gawain, and he did play a role in this battle, but it wasn't enough, far from enough.

And now, Nia arranged for Gawain and Reiner to guard the captives, but Gawain went to sleep, leaving Reiner alone, Reiner's injuries have not yet healed, in case these dozens of captives start a riot, Reiner alone will definitely not be able to deal with it.

Cross swept the room and roughly counted the number of captives, more than forty, which was too many, but he could also take advantage of them.

"Reiner, you come out for a moment. ”

Cross called Reiner out the door, then whispered, "I'll let this ship dock at noon, and you and Gawain will release these captives." ”

Reiner was a little puzzled, "Lord Cross, why is that?"

"There are too many of these captives. For us, this is a hidden danger. Letting them go back would also be just in time for them to tell their commander about the battle in Blackwater, so that their commander could be warned. ”

Reiner still didn't quite understand, but he agreed.

"By the way, those two commanders can't let them go. ”

"Yes. ”

Cross's purpose in letting the captives go was simple.

First, these captives were all Seayadhians, and Seajarda's army was likely to point the finger at Cross after defeating Reinhardt, and at that point, these captives would become the enemy's internal response, a situation that Cross did not want to see.

Second, the release of these captives is for these people to tell their commander about the battle in Blackwater, so that Cross's reputation will grow, and Seatta's army will become afraid of Cross, and they will consider Cross a cautious commander.

Once the enemy has this impression, Cross can use it to put himself in an advantageous position when fighting the Seatta army.

Thirdly, the captives observed the composition of Cross's troops, in addition to humans, werewolves, Hofers, demihumans, and even an alchemist who knew how to blast, and the captives would pass this information on to the army of Seajarda, who would pass this information on to the kingdom of Seajarda.

In this way, the news that Cross's forces accept any race will spread in the Kingdom of Seatta, and there will naturally be some subhuman races to join Cross at that time.

Therefore, releasing the captives would be good for Cross, but not harmful.

......

The release of the captives went well, and in addition to Reiner and Gawain, Lancelot also helped.

With the exception of the two commanders, Charlie and Sam, all the other captives were released. The captives didn't know what the situation was, but they knew how to escape, and their direction was clear, and that was Wolfheart, where Sephiroth was besieging.

Looking at the more than forty captives who had already run away, Gawain angrily picked up the stones on the bank of the river and threw them forward.

"I really don't understand why Cross wants to release these captives, these are all our trophies!" Gawain said indignantly.

"These captives are a hidden danger, and I think Lord Cross is right. Reiner said.

"I think Lord Cross has another meaning in doing this, and he may have thought about the situation in the future when he goes to war with the Kingdom of Seajarda. Lancelot added.
