Chapter 85, Prisoner of War Ransom
One is to integrate divinity into the war semi-plane, so that later advances can produce more powerful arms.
Well, Zhou Mingyue only now knows that the advancement of this war semi-plane is not the same. If he has divine nature, the troops after the advancement will be stronger!
The second is to integrate divinity into itself and allow Zhou Mingyue to have this divinity. The advantage of this is that Zhou Mingyue's strength will be improved to become a pure-blooded knight!
Faced with this problem that is extremely difficult for ordinary people to make a decision, Zhou Mingyue made a decision in just three seconds!
Divine nature integrates into the war semi-plane!
He is not stupid, he feels that his greatest advantage is that he has self-knowledge.
He knows his shortcomings.
Not ruthless enough, well, it's mainly because you're not ruthless enough to yourself.
That's why his knight captain's strength is a little better than the big knight.
Well, he admitted that he was cowardly.
But this did not affect his correct judgment.
Only when the war semi-plane is strong can one get the greatest guarantee of its own safety.
With the integration of that divine nature, some golden patterns appeared in the tower form of the war semi-plane.
However, with the emergence of this golden pattern, the 30% of the progress bar then dropped to 20%.
Zhou Mingyue also knew that this advanced progress bar could not fall for no reason.
This only shows that after the war semi-plane is integrated into the divinity, if it wants to advance again, it requires more advanced resources.
At this time, all the troops in the valley had poured out, and all the surrendered farmers were escorted into the valley.
High-level troops such as the God of Guns and Martial Arts are pursuing the escaped knights.
Zhou Mingyue remembered that the treasure was also transformed from divine nature.
But it is obvious that after being transformed into a treasure, this divine nature is no longer divine nature, or the difference is very big.
So, can the treasure be restored to divinity?
Zhou Mingyue took out the rebirth dagger, looked at it, pondered for a while, shook his head, and took it back.
He really couldn't think of any way to restore this treasure to divinity.
When they were busy until nightfall, all the surrendered farmers were imprisoned, with their number reaching 18,000.
The knights also captured a lot of prisoners.
Zhou Mingyue planned to tame the surrendered farmers into his own leaders.
There is no way, there are basically no people in this wilderness except for the barbarians, especially after the three barbarian tribes a1, a2, and a3 were eliminated by themselves, this area became even more desolate.
Since the Kingdom of Flor has destroyed its independent knight title, there is no relationship between him and the Kingdom of Flor. Under such circumstances, it seems good to build a country for fun?
As for the captured knights, he had no intention of killing them.
The kinship between nobles can be regarded as inextricable. If you kill these knights by yourself, you will likely attract more hatred.
The blow is too big, and I don’t know how many people will come to take revenge.
Zhou Mingyue didn't want to squat in the valley either.
The difference between the knight and the farmer is that someone pays the ransom, but the farmer does not.
Zhou Mingyue was busy in the next week.
He was busy disorganizing the farmers to the original sites of the a2 and a3 tribes, and at the same time he had to deploy troops in these places to protect the safety of those farmers.
Just after he moved more than 5,000 farmers to the original site of the A3 tribe and arranged heavy infantry, heavy snatchers, and even longbowmen as guards, he received the news that Viscount Hanks was coming.
When he rode the Red Dragon back to the valley, he saw more than 30 people waiting outside the stone walls of the valley, and Ness was greeting with Viscount Hanks.
I have to say that after Ness took office as the Valley Government Officer, he worked very hard.
In addition to his job, he even studied with several scholars in the slaves.
So far, I can barely write some official documents.
Judging from his conversation with Viscount Hanks, he could barely be considered a training.
After the dragon was removed, Zhou Mingyue exchanged a few greetings with Viscount Hanks with a smile, and then invited everyone to enter the valley to talk.
His eyes swept over and saw many strange faces, but he could be sure that these people were nobles.
Obviously, they are here to redeem people!
Sure enough, after entering Zhou Mingyue's official residence full of natural atmosphere, Viscount Hanks explained his purpose.
It is indeed to redeem people.
Simply put, the group of people he brought with him were representatives of the redeeming people. In addition to being the relatives of the captured knights themselves, they were also entrusted by the relatives of other captured knights to redeem people.
After all, many captured knights are the heads of the family, and only orphans and widows are left in the family, so it is impossible for them to travel so far to redeem people.
As for Viscount Hanks' trip, it was to introduce it to both parties, and the other was to provide guarantees.
In the eyes of those nobles, Zhou Mingyue always had a grudge against the Florid Kingdom, nor was he aristocrat. Therefore, they were also worried that Zhou Mingyue would not feel at ease if he received the money.
Therefore, most of the ransoms are placed in Hanks Castle, with Viscount Hanks as a guarantee. Once people are released here, Viscount Hanks will guarantee that the ransoms will be delivered to Zhou Mingyue.
Zhou Mingyue did not refuse this.
After all, the finances in the valley are also relatively tense.
Previously, the more than 500 slaves and more than 70 farmers in the valley were all provided with food and clothing by Zhou Mingyue.
There is no way, although the crops have been planted, there is still some time before harvesting.
The most mortal thing is that as the more than 18,000 farmers were captured by him, no matter how poorly they eat every day, the amount of food consumed was not a small amount.
Let me put it this way, the Anel caravan alone cannot do this business.
Zhou Mingyue took out all the fur of the giant beast and exchanged it for only three months to buy enough food for 18,000 people to eat and drink.
But what should I do if I eat up all my food for three months?
Those newly reclaimed fields cannot satisfy the appetite of so many people.
Therefore, these ransoms can also be regarded as a solution to his urgent needs.
Well, the amount of ransom is linked to the noble title.
Over the past thousand years, the number has basically been fixed.
A knight has 30-80 gold coins, a baron has 150-250 gold coins, and a viscount has 350-600 gold coins.
Well, that's about it.
Perhaps it was because he felt that Zhou Mingyue did not share a share of the ransom for Earl Max last time, but Viscount Hanks was quite righteous this time, setting the ransom price at 60 gold coins for the Knight, 200 gold coins for the Baron, and 600 gold coins for the Viscount.
