Chen Dabing confirmed that his opponent was completely defeated and had no power to resist, so he turned around and left to see if there was any other suitable opponent.
The opponent was very surprised. He didn't kill him with a single blow, and didn't even take his storage bag. After lying on the ground to recover some spiritual power, he quietly crawled into the jungle nearby.
At this time, Chen Dabing had not found a suitable opponent, because the battle was nearing its end, and the advantage of the Qiling Corps expanded. Many soldiers of the Shuohe Corps fell in a pool of blood, and the rest changed from fighting one-on-one to fighting in a group.
Chen Dabing didn't care about the reward for heads, so naturally he disdained to participate in the fight. He walked around the battlefield with his sword in hand and found something like an eye floating in the air. He couldn't help but feel curious.
"What is this?"
"Boss, don't go near it. It's the Overseer's Eye. It can see images and is specifically designed to monitor soldiers for any slacking off. Serious behavior could lead to them being labeled spies."
Chen Dabing was shocked. Isn't this just a camera?! Such advanced equipment! Fortunately, his performance was just a slacking off, not a spy.
Looking back, Nan Huanuo and Dongfang Yue both had many storage bags in their hands, which seemed to be spoils of war. These spoils did not belong to whoever got them, but were collected and handed over to the governor.
Because of the existence of the 'Overseer's Eye', no one dares to keep it privately.
Not long after, the last soldier of the Shuohe Corps on the battlefield surrendered, and the war was declared over. All the soldiers of the Qiling Corps were very excited and searched for spoils.
Some people even stripped the corpse of all its clothes and found that there was a woman inside. This made the soldiers even more excited. They gathered around and commented on the corpse.
"What's so interesting about a corpse? There's a living captive there, a female one."
"Go and take a look. Isn't she pretty?"
The soldiers lost interest in the female corpse and gathered around to look at the female prisoner. She was captured alive by a captain. According to regulations, whoever captured the prisoner on the battlefield would own the prisoner's personal property and could also hand it over to the corps according to rank.
"Wow! This female captive is so beautiful, she's worth a lot of spirit stones."
"It's true. Even if she deliberately darkened her cheeks, if you look closely, she's still a beauty."
"She is more than just a beauty, she is simply a beauty of heaven. Her looks and figure are beyond words."
A soldier with a wretched appearance said, "Captain, please transfer her to me! I'll pay you two hundred spirit stones."
"Two hundred spirit stones are not bad. This female prisoner is just a private first class. She only has fifty spirit stones when she hands it over to the regiment."
A head is worth one hundred spirit stones, while a prisoner is only worth fifty spirit stones. This setting seems unreasonable, but it is actually a customary rule among mercenary groups.
Mercenaries have very low loyalty to the legion. They often surrender on the battlefield when they see the situation is not right. Then the legion is not good at dealing with prisoners. Killing prisoners will ruin their reputation, and they are afraid that the prisoners will turn against them if they are recruited, so they simply reduce the rewards for the prisoners.
The lives of mercenaries are worthless, but their heads are more valuable. What's strange is that after this setting was implemented in various legions, mercenaries became brave and desperate on the battlefield, and almost no one surrendered, because even if they did, the opponent would not be willing to surrender. The moment you drop your weapon, the opponent will cut off your head with a knife.
Only female soldiers could become prisoners, because women had some value, especially young and beautiful female prisoners, who could be sold at a higher price than the reward for their heads.
Just like this female prisoner, the reward was twice as much as the head reward. The captain was very straightforward. He took two hundred spirit stones and threw the rope that tied the female prisoner to the soldier.
The soldier was very excited and said, "While there's still time, I want to go to the grove and have some fun. Anyone want to come with me?"
Other soldiers said, "Free sharing? I want to go."
The soldier said, "I just spent two hundred spirit stones, real money! It's impossible for it to be free, but I can make it cheaper. Fifty spirit stones per person, guaranteed to be pleasant."
"I want fifty spirit stones for you, but there is one condition: you must come out on top."
"Count me in."
"Can it be cheaper? I don't care about the first place."
Many soldiers signed up and bargained, and soon some people paid the money.
"Tsk..." someone said, "This is a good business. I bought it from the captain for 200 spirit stones. After I enjoy it myself, I can collect a share of the money. Maybe I can make a profit."
Chen Dadan, watching from the side, was filled with righteous indignation and asked, "Isn't this coercing women into selling sexual products? Why doesn't the Corps stop this behavior?"
Dongfang Yue said, "Most of those who join the mercenaries are independent individuals who are difficult to control. Mercenary groups are not regular armies. The only thing the Qiling Corps can do is not to accept female soldiers and prevent their soldiers from suffering such humiliation."
Chen Dabing could understand this. He finally understood why the founder of the Qiling Corps was a woman and why there was a rule not to recruit female soldiers.
Of course, he couldn't just sit back and watch, so he said, "I'll pay you 400 spirit stones, please sell the female captive to me!"
As soon as these words came out, the wretched soldier was immediately tempted. He could double his profit in a short time. This business was good. However, looking at the beautiful face of the female prisoner, he felt unwilling to give up. He said, "Brother, can you wait a moment? I only need half a quarter of an hour."
Chen Dadan said, "Eight hundred spirit stones."
"Deal." The soldier hurriedly handed the rope to him, fearing that he would go back on his word.
Chen Dabing threw a handful of spirit stones at his feet. The soldier did not get angry. He picked them up one by one. After counting the number, he said with a cupped hand: "Brother, you are so generous. When I capture a female prisoner next time, I will definitely show it to you first."
Chen Dadan snorted coldly and walked towards the grove with the female captive. He looked behind him and saw that Nan Huanuo and Dongfang Yue had not caught up. He couldn't help but say, "Why are you still standing there like idiots?"
