Chapter 321 Governance and Assistance

The army fought and killed for the whole day, and the beastmen of Qiu Shuang City were basically defeated by the human army, and most of them were imprisoned by Mu Yi.

Without the legendary orc magic, these orcs have good fighting power, but are still far from being considered opponents by the army.

"Thanks to the general's far-sighted strategy, otherwise this battle would not have been so smooth!" Duke Iron Lion praised Mu Yi highly.

Although he could see that Mu Yi was most likely not from this world, what did that have to do with him? He only knew that Mu Yi was his savior and had avenged him.

"In your opinion, if the orc soldiers are blessed with divine powers, can they fight against the soldiers under my command?" Mu Yi pulled the bow and arrow, casually shot an orc flying in the sky, turned around and asked casually.

"The elite soldiers under the general's command are rare in the world. Even the Iron Lions I founded are inferior to the general. But if the orcs of Qiu Shuang City add divine arts, I am afraid they can fight against the general!"

When Duke Iron Lion talked about divine arts, his face looked a little gloomy. On this continent, no matter how hard humans struggled, the orcs would still occupy the good places, and humans, elves and other ethnic groups could only live in the marginal areas.

Mu Yi frowned when he heard this. Although the army has not started to smelt yet and its combat effectiveness is one level lower than the army in Wei Qing's camp, the overall blessing of the military formation and the cloud energy is still very objective.

Led by the generals and officers, the army had an almost overwhelming advantage in dealing with the orcs. However, in the eyes of Duke Iron Lion, this overwhelming advantage was only equal to that of the orcs blessed by divine magic, or perhaps even slightly inferior.

"Can divine magic have such miraculous effects?"

This surprised Mu Yi. From the description of Duke Iron Lion, the effect of this magic was probably much stronger than the talent blessing of his legion.

"The power of the gods is unfathomable. All creatures in the world are nothing more than livestock raised by the gods! How can ordinary creatures possibly fight against the gods? Even legends are nothing more than ants in the eyes of the gods!"

The Duke of Iron Lion had an extremely gloomy look on his face, but he did not seem unwilling. It was as if he was speaking the truth of heaven and earth naturally, filled with awe of the gods.

"Hehe, gods are just more powerful creatures!"

Mu Yi glanced at Duke Iron Lion and retorted calmly that he did not have any awareness of the supremacy of the gods.

"If the gods are unkind, I will raise the sword of killing gods!"

In Jiuzhou, immortals and gods are not supreme. The power they hold and the responsibility they bear are almost relative.

Speaking of which, Mu Yi himself is also a legitimate immortal god, so it is natural that he only respects other gods, not fears them.

"General, now that you have captured this city, are you going to kill the prisoners and massacre the city, or are you going to enslave all these orcs?"

Duke Iron Lion had never expected Mu Yi to say this, and he immediately fell silent, then changed the subject with a strange look on his face.

"Killing prisoners and massacring the city? Will you choose this method after you capture the orcs' city?" Mu Yi was a little surprised.

"Except for capturing some orc slaves, keeping the other orcs will only cause trouble!" The Duke of Iron Lion's attitude towards orcs is obviously quite repulsive.

"As for slavery, most of the time it's done through magical enslavement, turning them into slaves. It's quite popular in the kingdom!"

"When some adventure teams are exploring the wilderness, they will choose to bring some orc slaves with them. Compared to humans, these orcs can perform better after being enslaved."

"People like fox people and dog people are also sought after by the nobles!"

"Slavery? Slavery with magic?" Mu Yi's eyes lit up.

He still believed more in Han Xin's idea that the more the better, but maintaining an army was too resource-consuming. He was already running out of money to maintain an army of tens of thousands of people.

In fact, this was only possible because he had signed a contract with the officials of the main world, thus solving some logistical problems.

After all, the extraordinary army needs not only basic survival supplies such as food and fodder, but also training materials and so on. Mu Yi now basically relies on the exchange of disaster coins from the comprehensive network.

It is difficult to train a soldier, and it is even more difficult to maintain a soldier.

"General, are you interested in this as well?"

Seeing that Mu Yi was interested, Duke Iron Lion grabbed a green-faced and fanged orc from among the captives and demonstrated his enslavement magic.

"You willingly became a slave in front of the world!"

The Duke of Iron Lion's knife was placed on the orc's neck. The orc, whose whole body was trembling, accepted the enslavement magic after a small cut on his neck was made by the knife.

Mu Yi frowned, not because this scene was inhumane, but because he felt the taste of the abyss during the ritual of slavery magic.

It seems that the humans in this world are not really standing still in order to fight against the orcs, but have come up with many ways.

No wonder Wei Qing chose to attack the human kingdom. If the people in the human kingdom can accept the abyss demons, then accepting these foreign humans would not seem to be a big psychological burden.

When the ceremony was over, a contract similar to parchment appeared in the hand of the Duke of Iron Lion, and he showed it to Mu Yi.

【Slave Contract】

Type: Strange Object

Effect: The carrier that records the slave contract. Before it is destroyed, the enslaved creature cannot resist the creature holding the slave contract.

Mu Yi could feel that there was a very close connection between the contract and the slaves.

"This is the most basic slave contract. As long as it is torn up, the contract will be terminated!" Duke Iron Lion said as he showed the contract in his hand.

Mu Yi pondered for a moment, then stretched out his hand and cut the connection between the contract and the slave.

"stand up!"

Duke Iron Lion noticed Mu Yi's actions and roughly understood what Mu Yi was doing, so he gave orders directly to the slaves.

The contract, which had been cut off from contact, began to transmit signals again under the command, and after a moment's delay, the orc slave stood up uncontrollably.

“It’s really amazing magic!”

Mu Yi roughly understood the principle of this enslavement magic. It was indeed a very complete consideration. As long as the contract was not broken, even if the connection was cut off, it would soon be renewed. Mu Yi learned enslavement magic from Duke Iron Lion and enslaved almost all the orcs in the city. Mu Yi also respected some stubborn people who would rather die than obey and killed them directly.

During this process, Mu Yi also discovered a problem. The so-called slavery magic was actually using contracts to make deals with the abyss demons.

After the death of these enslaved orcs, their souls will gather towards an unknown place through a contract and then disappear.

Mu Yi could feel that the place where these souls gathered was the direction of the human kingdom. According to Duke Iron Lion, it was probably the place where the human royal family and the abyss demons signed the contract.

All slavery contracts were completed based on a divine artifact. Mu Yi guessed that those souls should have flowed into the abyss through the divine artifact and become food for the devil.

However, according to Mu Yi's understanding, the demons of the abyss are usually extremely chaotic. This lawful behavior of making a contract is more like a method used by the devils of purgatory?
However, Mu Yi was not sure. After all, in the distant universe, there were strange things like Succubus Paladin and Six-Armed Janna Sword Master. Maybe the emergence of an Abyss Demon Lord who abided by the contract was not something to be surprised about.

After the whole set of equipment, Mu Yi had an extra 3,000 orc soldiers and 10,000 orc auxiliary soldiers. As for the other old, weak and sick people, Mu Yi handed them over to the humans liberated from Qiu Shuang City.

Just as humans enslaved orcs, orcs would also enslave humans. The looting team that Mu Yi encountered before captured a group of humans and planned to sell them as slaves. There were also many human captives held in Qiu Shuang City.

Mu Yi liberated these humans, then occupied Qiu Shuang City and began to deal with the problems inside and outside Qiu Shuang City. By the way, Chu Yi led the team to kill all the fish that had escaped the net.

After Iron Lion settled down in Qiu Shuang City, he chose to bid farewell to Mu Yi and wanted to return to the Iron Wall Kingdom.

Mu Yi did not make things difficult for this good helper. If he did not have the other party, he estimated that he would have to resort to massacre in Qiu Shuang City instead of occupying it like he was doing now.

He returned some of the soldiers who were captured along with the Duke of Iron Lion to the Duke of Iron Lion, and also prepared sufficient food and water for them as a way of thanking the Duke of Iron Lion.

And when Duke Iron Lion left, the entire Qiu Shuang City became Mu Yi's property.

Although most orcs were enslaved, Mu Yi did not treat them in a concentration camp manner. Instead, he set aside an area for the liberated human slaves to separate the two sides as much as possible.

These orcs are still useful, and we cannot kill them all just because of hatred.

However, in order to appease the rescued humans, Mu Yi organized a group of people to collect intelligence, picked out some of the most evil orcs, and held a revenge meeting.

What surprised Mu Yi was that after he finished the Revenge Judgment Conference, it was as if he had completed a large-scale ritual, and his legion talent directly gained a certain amount of growth.

This made Mu Yi realize that his legion's talent really had the potential to become a priesthood, and even assisting in revenge could be considered a part of hunting down demons and eliminating evil.

In order to verify his hypothesis, Mu Yi found a group of orcs and did the same thing. He held a trial meeting, which actually worked, but the effect was very weak.

Mu Yi was not sure why. After all, there were too many factors to consider. For example, his bond with the orcs was not strong enough. How could a relationship maintained by a slave contract compare to the relationship he established by liberating the human slaves in the city?

It could also be the influence of the orc god. After all, the Beast God also serves as the priest of revenge for the orcs in this world. Mu Yi obviously has no advantage in competing with him.

Mu Yi wasn't quite sure, but he had found a path that was beneficial to his own growth, which could be considered a great gain.

Because Qiu Shuang City was captured by Mu Yi through a surprise attack, the supplies in the city were basically preserved intact. This was different from the ordinary supplies in the main world. As city defense supplies in the extraordinary world, they contained a large amount of cultivation resources.

I don’t know how long Qiu Shuang City has been accumulating this wealth, but it all went to Mu Yi. This is also a major feature of war, that is, the winner takes all.

No matter how much you have accumulated or how abundant your supplies are, once you are defeated in the war, all these things will be lost to your opponent for nothing. Conversely, no matter how poor you are, as long as you keep winning, you will become quite rich.

Mu Yi unceremoniously used 70% of it to improve the strength of his soldiers, and the other 30% was used on these orc slaves.

He wanted to try out some of the information he had previously obtained from Wei Qing, which included the part about using slave puppets as soldiers.

After all, this is the most cost-effective method Mu Yi can think of.

However, Wei Qing's expression was very strange at the time. He did not refute or stop it. Instead, he let Mu Yi try it himself and told him that this was also a part that all military children must go through.

Mu Yi tried to let these orc slaves master an elite talent, but found that it was completely unsuccessful.

Clearly these slaves have obeyed orders under the effect of the contract, but they are still unable to produce elite talents.

It was obvious that the physical fitness of the orc soldiers captured before was far stronger than that of ordinary people, but the elite talents that Mu Yi had easily rendered to others at the beginning could not be successful on these orc slaves.

"Will cannot have impurities?" After a series of failed attempts, Mu Yi finally understood what Wei Qing meant.

After all, the physical fitness of the orc slaves was fully qualified, and the only reason for failure was the existence of the slave contract.

However, Mu Yi did not give up, instead he had another idea.

Since orc slaves themselves cannot be born with talents, is it possible to rely on external forces to achieve this effect?

Mu Yi blessed the orc slaves with the Asura Armor. The difference from the blessing he gave to the human Taoist soldiers was that this time he chose to let the Asura Armor and the orc slaves completely integrate into one.

Let them suffer the negative impact of the iron-blooded killing.

It can be considered as fighting poison with poison. Anyway, the orcs' will has been mixed up under the slave contract, so why not just go straight to the end and let these orcs go crazy?

The experiment was quite successful. These orcs were completely integrated with the Shura armor, thus possessing the talent of iron-blooded killing.

Mu Yi also tried to merge these orcs with other forces, but the effect was not very good. The orcs who had lost their minds were obviously unable to complete difficult tasks such as controlling their mounts and mastering skills.

While Mu Yi was conducting various experiments, a figure flew directly towards Qiu Shuang City.

Because guard posts had been set up in various places in the city in advance, the patrolling soldiers noticed the intruders at the first moment.

They informed Mu Yi, and when Mu Yi flew to the top of the city, the other party was standing outside the city without any disguise, as if waiting for his arrival.

"Lin Yi?" Mu Yi was a little surprised when he saw the person coming.

"Brother Mu, please lend us a helping hand!"

When Lin Yi saw Mu Yi, a gloomy look appeared on his face, but he quickly forced himself to cheer up and asked Mu Yi for help.
