Even though it felt strange, Volavi finally admitted, "Yes, we want to surrender."
"Why?" Cao Jingshan asked directly.
There are so many people on the other side, and suddenly telling them to surrender would be problematic for any team.
Fortunately, they are open-minded, or rather, willing to seize the opportunity.
Speaking of which, although they know that this world needs constant fighting to increase its strength, in fact, they, the people of Blue Star, really don't like killing.
Therefore, if it can be resolved in a relatively peaceful way, they would definitely be willing to do so.
"Don't you believe us?" Wolawei asked subconsciously.
"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you. I just want to know the reason why you surrendered, and to see your sincerity." Cao Jingshan said directly, "You don't think that we will accept you without any reason just because you surrendered, right? I think you wouldn't believe us even if we really did that, so it's best to be honest with each other and put forward your respective conditions. What do you think?"
Cao Jingshan's words did give Wolawei some confidence. Indeed, this was the way to really talk about things.
"Our lord has captured our family and asked us to deal with the chief of your Hope Village and disrupt your offensive rhythm. But I got a piece of news that our lord plans to abandon Fasal Village after the defeat, and he only plans to leave with a part of the people. He is even preparing to bomb the entire territory when he leaves. If he succeeds, our sacrifice will be in vain, and our families will be buried with the territory. So we are willing to surrender, and we only hope that you can help us save our families." Wolf said frankly. After all, they have come to this point, and there is no reason not to complete the last step, so he said everything he should say.
...
...
Cao Jingshan's eyes flickered as he listened to these words. There was quite a bit of information revealed in these words.
"He asked you to deal with our village chief. Does he have any requirements?" Cao Jingshan was still concerned about this question.
It is not easy to deal with the village chief under their heavy protection. He must have some special secret weapon, right?
After listening to this, Wolawei paused and subconsciously looked at Norris beside him. Are they going to hand over their weapons?
If they hand it over, they will completely put their fate into the hands of others.
Norris looked at Wolaway and nodded directly at him.
Volavi then continued, "We were given a lot of weapons, one of which is a weapon that can explode when it encounters fire. This is what our lord is going to use in Fasal Village."
As he spoke, Wolawei took out a pile of small black stones and placed them in front of Cao Jingshan.
When Cao Jingshan heard this, he was immediately shocked.
Isn't this gunpowder?
The wizarding world has even invented gunpowder?
They really didn't know this news before they came.
To be honest, if you are not prepared, it is easy to fall into the trap.
"Give me all the black stones in your hands." Cao Jingshan said directly.
Now that things have come to this, his trust in the two of them has increased a lot.
However, it is safer to keep a weapon like Blackstone in your own hands.
Both Wolawi and Norris went straight forward. They had already taken so many steps, so this one step wouldn't be a big deal.
After taking it, Cao Jingshan subconsciously used the system's identification technique to identify it.
After the identification was completed, Cao Jingshan breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it is not man-made explosives, but a special type of mineable ore, made using a special production method. Its output is extremely scarce, and its price on the market is not low.
Such a high cost means that the quantity of this black stone will not be too large.
Yes, if the number was large enough, the lord of Fasar village would have taken it out long ago, instead of using it as a secret weapon to attack their village chief.
After putting away the things, Cao Jingshan looked at the two men and said, "I see your sincerity. I hope the village is willing to accept your surrender. But in order to avoid accidents, I hope you will announce that no one can use weapons at any time and do not make unnecessary movements. I am afraid that our people will be injured by mistake."
After all, a number of more than 4,000 people is a considerable threat!
"Of course." Wallaway and Norris said without hesitation.
Speaking of which, after they shouted surrender, the large group behind them did not riot but followed them, which made one thing clear to them.
That is, the soldiers behind them were also willing to surrender.
Too.
In every territorial war, these soldiers suffered the most deaths. If they could survive, they would naturally be willing to surrender.
Going with the flow is the choice many small people will make when it comes to survival.
In this way, Cao Jingshan led his team back to his own team. At this time, Alik also brought his team to support.
When I saw this scene, I looked a little surprised.
The main reason is that this side is too peaceful.
Seeing Alik, Cao Jingshan
After listening to this, Alick said directly: "One more thing, all personnel's weapons must be handed in."
Since we have to accept it, we must accept it more thoroughly and not give these people any chance to regret it.
Seeing Alick's serious expression, Wolawei and Norris' eyes unconsciously turned to Cao Jingshan.
He didn't say that just now!
"This is the major of our territory. He is higher in rank than me, so I will listen to him. But don't worry, we in Hope Village will never mistreat prisoners. Once you arrive at Hope Village, you will be residents of Hope Village." Cao Jingshan patted his chest and promised, "Also, we will return all your weapons and will not take a single cent. We can sign a contract on this."
As he spoke, Cao Jingshan took out a magic scroll for a contract, quickly wrote a simple agreement on the scroll, and then wrote his name.
Alick did not say much about this action, which was regarded as his tacit approval of Cao Jingshan's behavior.
Wolawe and Norris listened, pursed their lips, looked at Alick who had an irrefutable expression, passed the message on, and then left their names directly on the magic scroll.
After staying, they began to hand in their weapons.
In this way, led by Wolaway and Norris, the entire surrender process was particularly smooth.
Finally, it was time for the slaves to hand in their weapons.
Compared with the well-equipped soldiers, the weapons in the hands of these slaves were mostly made of bronze and looked extremely crude.
"They are residents of other territories who were previously plundered by our territory. They are of no value and serve as slaves of the territory."
"You have plundered many territories, right? But you only have so few slaves?" Cao Jingshan asked curiously.
"No, our territory sells slaves to other territories every month. Many slave traders often come to our territory to select slaves. This batch of slaves has not been sold yet. It should be said that they are prepared by our lord for the territory war. If we accept them, we can sell them for a lot of gold coins!" Wolawei said subconsciously.
The buying and selling of slaves has become a normal practice, especially in their territory.
Cao Jingshan listened and looked at the expressions of the group of slaves. He found that most of them looked extremely numb to Wolawi's words. It was obvious that they had accepted their fate.
After a pause, Cao Jingshan said, "Come, register as well. When you arrive at Hope Village, these weapons will be returned to you."
As he spoke, Cao Jingshan handed the magic scroll to one of the slaves.
This slave was the one that Cao Jingshan was looking at with a slightly dissatisfied look on his face.
At least the other party has not lost his edge because of his slave status, which can be considered a good breakthrough.
The slave was stunned when he saw the magic scroll in front of him.
Wallaway and Norris on the side were also stunned.
Wolawe silently reminded them, "You can just take their weapons. It doesn't matter if you don't return them."
Cao Jingshan listened and said calmly, "We hope there will be no slaves in the village."
This one sentence instantly created a new wave among the slaves.
Is...really?
"If you were once a slave, can you also become a resident?" The slave in front of Cao Jingshan asked with shining eyes.
"Yes, our territory just received a group of slaves from other territories not long ago and turned them into tourists. Whether you can become a resident of Hope Village depends on your own choice." Cao Jingshan continued.
Because of Cao Jingshan's words, the scene suddenly became noisy.
The slave in front of Cao Jingshan took the magic scroll from Cao Jingshan's hand without hesitation and wrote his name on it.
After him, the slaves rushed to register.
Wolawei and Norris looked at this scene, and they were a little dazed.
Hope Village actually did this!
"From another perspective, it seems pretty good. I hope the village treats its residents like this, not to mention us." Norris quickly convinced himself and Wolaway.
He did feel that when choosing a territory, you cannot choose a territory that is only good for you, but you have to choose a territory that is good for everyone.
Worawe listened and nodded a little numbly.
Norris was not the only one who had this idea. Many soldiers watched this scene and inexplicably felt less nervous.
It was at this time that Zhou Bai entered the scene.
She was already prepared to fight as soon as she entered the area, but from afar, she saw a group of people gathered together, doing something unknown.
Before I could get close, I met someone who came to report.
"Village leader, the soldiers in Fasal village have surrendered and they are now being registered."
"Surrender?"
"I heard that the lord of Fasal Village did something outrageous. You will know when you go there, village chief."
"Yeah." Zhou Bai nodded, but he couldn't help thinking in his heart.
Wolfe did something shady? What was it?
With doubts, Zhou Bai walked forward directly.
"Village chief." Seeing Zhou Bai, the group immediately bowed respectfully.
Seeing this, Wolawei and Norris also turned their attention over, and their eyes couldn't help but flicker.
They noticed the attitudes of Alick, Cao Jingshan and others when Zhou Bai came over.
This attitude cannot be acted out.
It can be seen that Zhou Bai, the village chief, has a really high status in Hope Village.
If they had known this earlier... Well, even if they knew this earlier, it wouldn't have worked. It was obvious from the way the soldiers brought by Alec subconsciously isolated themselves from them.
They had clearly surrendered all their weapons, yet they were still being so cautious!
At this time, Alick had already stepped forward to explain the situation to Zhou Bai and Bayer.
"…They are currently registering. Once they are registered, what should be done?"
Zhou Bai looked at the slaves who were excited to register, paused, and then said: "These soldiers should be familiar with the resource points near Fassar Village! Let them disperse and lead the slaves to collect them."
It's impossible to send it back for now, and it's unsafe to leave it where it is, so it's better to send it to the nearby area to collect resources and take advantage of the Fasar Village.
"What's the harvest..." Alick asked directly.
"Whoever collects it owns it. This is just right for the slaves to have enough income to support themselves before they enter Hope Village." Zhou Bai said directly.
If it was before, she would have to hesitate whether Hope Village could accommodate these people, but now the territory will soon be upgraded to a small town, which can accommodate a lot of people! It is just right for these people to fill the gap.
"I'll have someone arrange it right away." Alick said without hesitation.
After sending someone to handle the matter, Alick handed the black stone he got from Wolawe and Norris to Zhou Bai.
"The people in Fasal village may not know about their surrender yet. When I just arrived, I withdrew the personnel from the right side team and put away some siege weapons. This should give them the illusion that we have attacked from the flank." Alik reported.
In knowing the information
Anyway, whether you want to do this or not, it’s always a good idea to prepare first.
Hearing what Alick said, Zhou Bai was a little surprised, but then he felt happy.
With such a foundation, it was indeed easier for them to operate next.
"Call the people here." Zhou Bai said directly.
"Isn't it a bit unsafe..." Alick said subconsciously, "Their target was originally you."
"Hasn't the contract been signed?" Zhou Bai replied.
"If the other party doesn't want to live, then the contract's constraints on him can be said to be invalid."
"It's okay, call him over!" Zhou Bai said directly.
She still trusts her intuition.
Besides, they were just two people. What could they do in front of so many people?
Seeing that Zhou Bai insisted, Alick stopped trying to persuade him and directly called Wolaway and Norris over.
When Wolawei and Norris came over, they were still a little nervous.
Especially in the last few moments, the soldiers and slaves he brought with him were taken away one by one, and they were all very happy when they left, completely forgetting about the two of them.
Their current situation is that they have lost their people, their weapons, and nothing.
When I saw Zhou Bai again, I felt a little lacking in confidence.
They were also worried about what Zhou Bai was going to do to them.
They knew very well that the reason they were left behind was that they were the commanders of the team. Only if they stayed here would it be impossible for them to secretly organize a team with those people, thus killing their last chance of counterattack.
This shows how cautious Hope Village is, not giving them even a chance.
Seeing the two people's anxious expressions, Zhou Bai said directly: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. I just want to know where your news came from? Also, if your lord defected, which direction would he choose?"
Yes, Zhou Bai also realized that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to ambush in advance.
Since they have decided to invade Fasal Village, how can they let Wolf escape? Naturally, they have to really root out the problem.
"Nicholas told us the news..." Wolawei simply recounted their conversation.
Zhou Bai listened and raised his eyebrows. This Nicholas was indeed a smart man.
"As for the direction in which the lord left, we really don't know." Wolawei said to Norris.
If the two of them were really so popular with the lord, they would not be the ones standing here at this moment.
"Okay, thank you for the information. You stay here until the war is over. I'll take you away after it's over." Zhou Bai thanked the two.
Both of them felt a little dizzy after listening to it. They hoped that the village chief would actually apologize to them. Although it was very likely that he just said it casually, casual words can better reflect a person's character.
The chief of Hope Village doesn't have any arrogance of a superior at all!
In other words, all the superiors in Hope Village seem to be the same.
Just now, Cao Jingshan's attitude towards those slaves was relatively peaceful, without the slightest disdain.
See the big picture from the small.
Perhaps, joining Hope Village is really a good choice for them and a good start for their new life.
All they knew about Hope Village before was bits and pieces of information from other caravans, and they always thought it was exaggerated. But now it seems that Hope Village is really special to have such a reputation.
Afterwards, someone took the two away, with the intention of keeping watch over them.
The two had no objection to this at all and were lucky to be able to stay out of it.
They had no idea about how Zhou Bai and the others would deal with Fasar Village and their lord, but at this moment, they still hoped that the village would succeed.
Zhou Bai had no idea what these two people were thinking. She had already called Alick and others to discuss the follow-up matters.
In fact, no one was sure at this moment.
First, we don’t know where Wolfe will go if he wants to leave.
Second, I don't know how many black stones Wolfe has buried inside Fasal Village. In addition to the black stones, are there any other traps? If so, where are they?
If any one of these two points is not handled properly, there will be endless troubles.
How can we perfectly solve these two problems?
