Harald knew this rule. In fact, there was a default agreement between the nobles: that is, when a person wanted to surrender and the other party accepted his surrender, a contractual relationship was established between the two. The former could not treat prisoners as slaves or criminals, and would not be killed.

If the prisoners are nobles with status, then certain hospitality standards must be maintained. Because in a strict sense, they are just collateral for ransom and will return sooner or later.

This rule ensures the face and status of the nobles and is recognized by everyone. If someone breaks this rule and abuses and insults the nobles, it will arouse hostility from all the nobles.

Of course, Qin Song would not take into account such old-fashioned rules.

The reason is very simple. As a strange god, no matter how he deals with it, he will definitely be hostile to all the nobles. There is no way, and 99% of them are believers of the Holy Spirit.

However, Qin Song did not want to leave the simple and kind witches with the impression of cruelty and bloodthirsty. As long as the other party is willing to surrender, it can be exchanged for a considerable ransom, which is not a bad deal.

As for the fact that after they return, they will become the force to attack the Black Stone Corps again. The solution is very simple - just bring some "special" gifts when they leave.

"I don't want to repeat it again." Harald had a gloomy face. It was impossible to give Viscount Haiyin the corresponding treatment. The Black Stone Colonel had no extra food: "Either surrender or die in battle."

"I want to see your lord!" Viscount Haiyin roared angrily.

Bang!

Harald fired a shot without hesitation: "This is a warning, the last chance. Believe me, I was also a nobleman, and I have always done it."

"Sir! Sir."

Not all knights are willing to die for glory. Many people are in agitation and can become Holy Spirit Knights, with relatively wealthy families and are fully capable of paying ransoms.

"It's so frustrating to die here like this. Sir."

"Yes! Sir, as long as you can survive, sooner or later, you will wash away the shame of today."

This place is different from other places. It is the nest of pagans. Viscount Haiyin felt bitter and hard to bear, but as the general trend was taking place, he could not let everyone die of a grievance.

There was a clang.

Viscount Hain threw the great sword in his hand to the ground, his face depressed: "I still stick to my point of view. I need to meet your lords, and I need to be respected by the nobles."

Dang...

Dang...

A series of sounds sounded, and the knights turned over and dismounted, reluctantly removing their armor. According to the rules, the defeated horses, weapons, armor and supplies will become the other party's property.

Starting from the humiliating kneeling down and hugging his head, the remaining knights had to choose to surrender no matter how unwilling they were, but there was a low voice of curses and insults in their mouths.

In the end, Viscount Hain had to choose to kneel down under Harald's tough coercion. However, his eyes were full of resentment.

"Wouldn't it be like this long ago? It's squirting." Hu En spat on the ground, making a nobleman succumb to him, and he felt extremely happy.

"Come, tie them up and string them into a string. The remaining brothers, these war horses belong to us." Meng Ke walked over excitedly and patted the war horses wearing horse armor: "You are so luxurious. Even the animals are wearing helmets and armors. They are so rich!"

"It's ours now, haha." Hun picked up Viscount Haiyin from the ground, as a knight's sword, and the bronze-handled wolf head swallowed the wolf's eyes, and was inlaid with shiny rubies.

"Robs, the battle is over and it's safe." Harald turned his back to the prisoner and took out his buzzer: "You can lead everyone out to collect the spoils."

"it's over?"

Roberts, hiding in the cave, breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the terrified workers: "Guys, the battle is over, the Knights are defeated, we can go out."

"real?"

The Holy Spirit Knights gave people too deep an inherent impression. The first reaction of these short-sighted slave workers was impossible. However, when they walked out of the cave tremblingly, they only saw a tragic battlefield, and the knights who took off their armor and wore barefoot and lined with bracelets tied up by ropes and advanced under the escort of the gun-holding warriors.

"Oh my god!"

"It really won!"

"That's the Holy Spirit Knights!"

"Just win like this?"

For a moment, the slave workers were shocked by this victory. He had seen the market, including Roberts, and understood how powerful the Holy Spirit Knight was.

He actually failed so thoroughly.

Suddenly, he realized a fact.

Black Stone Collar, Temple of Stars - How powerful it is!

...

"A great victory!"

In the government affairs hall, Qin Song and Liya sat opposite the office.

Qin Song put down the buzzer in his hand and smiled and said, "Halard did not disappoint me. He commanded properly. A well-equipped Holy Spirit Knights killed 24 enemies, captured 21 people, and seriously injured 36 people. In addition to the deaths of two slave workers who ran slowly, the army suffered zero casualties."

The Holy Spirit Knights...

There was a wonderful feeling on Riya's angular face, and a little bitterness in her clear eyes. Once upon a time, her life goal was to become the glorious Holy Spirit Knight, and she made countless efforts for this.

But now, an army of briefly trained pirates easily defeated an entire Holy Spirit Knight with dozens of light orc hunters.

And there were zero casualties.

Is it scary?

This is so scary.

In the past, this was simply unimaginable.

But it happened alive.

"Qin." A complicated smile appeared on the corner of Liya's mouth: "I really admire you, from the bottom of my heart. Wisdom is indeed a powerful force."

"Liya, our victory today is not only based on wisdom, but also on the efforts of countless people." Qin Song sighed with emotion: "Imagine that if it weren't for Alice, these wisdoms would not have become reality. Our victory and future victory, the greatest contributor is Alice."

Indeed, without Alice's metallic ability, it would be too difficult for Qin Song to realize his structure.

Speaking of Alice, Leah's face was filled with tenderness and her eyes were full of pride: "Alice changed the Black Stone Collar, changed me, changed all this. I am proud of her, and the Sand family is proud of her."

"Believe me, Alice can change the world!" Qin Song's tone was full of confidence.

"Yeah." Liya nodded heavily and then asked, "Qin, what are you going to deal with the prisoners?"

"I want to hear your opinion." When dealing with aristocratic issues, Qin Song needs to understand Liya's position and will not act arbitrarily.

"It's indeed a headache, because in their eyes, we are pagans and will not be reconciled." Riya smiled bitterly: "If we charge ransoms according to the default rules among the nobles, we will receive the ransom and release them as promised. Then when they go back, put on armor again, pick up weapons, and board the war horses, they will definitely regard us as enemies. There is no suspense."

"But." Leah changed his tone: "If all of them were executed, or demoted to slaves, we would appear to be mean, cruel and bloodthirsty. If the news came back to the Kingdom of Tiya, then the nobles of the whole country would regard us as thorns in their side and as thorns in their flesh. They would all unite and swear to remove us. On the other hand, this increased our pressure."

"It's right." Qin Song nodded in agreement and smiled: "It sounds like it's not good for us anyway. Although we are winners, we can't be so cold-blooded and cruel. The great Krem is kind and will never agree with this behavior. So no matter what, we still have to put it back."

A kindness does not lead troops, and a kindness does not become an official. Mercy has limits, conditions, and adapts to the times.

"Lia, do you remember the ghost ship I mentioned?"

"It's the ghost ship you mentioned, cursed by the Cardinal?" When talking about this, Riya couldn't help laughing: "I heard it from Ralph's mouth. I really didn't expect that our sergeant was a pirate who was not covered in clothes and could not eat. Haha... Their greed lured them onto the ghost ship and caught those cursed gold coins. Qin, sometimes your way of thinking really subverts your imagination. If I were to think of it, I would never have thought of it."

"Yes, a cursed ghost ship, who would have thought it would become a tool for me to train warriors?" Qin Song touched his nose and laughed: "This ship once appeared in the Daotan Harbor, which harmed many people at that time. Later, I accidentally discovered the orb that controlled the ghost ship, the relics of the pirate in red. I purified it with the help of the power of the gods. At that time, I was alone, worried about the revival of evil and unable to resist."

"Haha..." Riya was admiring from the bottom of her heart, blinking her eyes: "A creepy ghost ship, a group of pirates who do everything they want. In the end - became an outstanding warrior."

"This is also considered eliminating harm for the people and utilizing waste?"

"Qin." Liya's burning eyes were full of admiration: "I think I understand your ideas and the ideas of the gods. Whether everything in the world is evil is not in itself, but in the people who use it. I am very glad that this ghost ship fell in your hands and these pirates fell in your hands. If it were an evil person, then there will be various horror legends in the vortex sea now. Although those curses still sound creepy, they are used to eliminate evil and promote good."

"Qin, you not only have extraordinary wisdom, but also have noble qualities."

Actually, I'm not as good as you said.

When this mature and rational girl said this, it can be seen that he is indeed very respected. Qin Song felt a little fluttering in his heart, but he kept a humble smile on his face: "Liya, even pirates were not born to be pirates. If they had no worries about food and clothing and were respected, who would be willing to be pirates? Just like Ralph, do you think he would regret it?"

"Not sure!" Riya smiled, "Because when I was listening to his horrible experience, I saw the pride from the bottom of my heart in his eyes."
