"Everyone, put down your weapons and surrender, or we will kill without mercy!"
The sound of surrender resounded throughout the Qinghu settlement.
When the battle reached this point, the slave hunters who dared to resist were basically eliminated first. More slave hunters chose to lay down their weapons and kneel on the ground together with the survivors they captured.
Maybe they also want to use this method to deceive others.
But this is simply impossible!
After the resistance in the settlement ended, the first thing Song Ziyu arranged for people to do was to identify the identities of these people.
At this time, the survivors in the Qinghu settlement did not know what was going on.
They dare not confirm whether the people who break into their settlements are enemies or friends.
In fact, the tyranny shown by Song Ziyu when he commanded the army to attack the enemy made the people in the Qinghu settlement even more frightened, so it was difficult to conduct an inventory.
All this has been fundamentally changed because of the emergence of Hu Xin.
Hu Xin walked out of Song Ziyu's team, and then accurately found his parents and relatives among a group of kneeling survivors.
This unexpected reunion directly broke the Hu Xin family's guard.
The whole family hugged each other and cried. It was so moving that many people under Soong Ziyu's command cried.
Many Longshan soldiers and former members of the Northern Steel Alliance who did not understand the purpose of the Western Expedition were moved.
Everyone finally vaguely understood some of the purpose of this trip.
…
With Hu Xin as a guarantee, Song Ziyu's savior-like status was quickly recognized by everyone.
Zhang Chunlai expressed his sincere gratitude to Song Ziyu on behalf of the survivors of Qinghu Settlement, and then smoothly cooperated in identifying the slave hunters.
Soon, more than a hundred surviving slave hunters were taken out together with their leader Liu Gulai.
Song Ziyu ordered Tang Jian to bring someone to interrogate Liu Gulai alone, and then what to do with the remaining slave hunters... Song Ziyu looked directly at Meng En: "Take your brothers down and interrogate all these slave hunters. There's blood on it...do you understand what I mean?"
"Sir, I understand! Just don't worry!" Meng En was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately called a group of free soldiers to go down and interrogate these slave hunters.
Soon, a large number of scalped slave hunters were hung upside down in the trees!
These slave hunters were forcibly scalped while they were still alive. They did not die as a result. On the contrary, the severe pain brought torture to these slave hunters at the end of their lives.
These slave hunters hanging upside down made heart-rending struggles, and blood gushed out like springs from their scarlet and bare heads.
Most people wailed for a while before falling into severe coma and dying due to excessive blood loss.
The whole process of death was brutal and painful, a torture that was almost excruciating.
But these slave hunters deserve what they get!
Those who kill will inevitably be killed. This is fate.
…
While these slave hunters were being executed, Tang Jian brought the information he wanted.
"Liu Gulai has explained everything." Tang Jian said.
"Tell me in detail." Song Ziyu said.
"??????????????????This slave-hunting team set out from Stone Fist City, where the slave-hunting team gathered nearby. The person who controls this area is a He is called the Governor of Aoshan, but according to what he said, Aoshan only obeys the orders of a zombie named Xuetun... The situation here is really strange. It seems that humans and zombies have formed a symbiotic relationship. Damn it, zombies have evolved at all times. It’s like this.”
Tang Jian was worthy of being a good interrogator, and he quickly got all the information he wanted from Liu Gulai, including the garrison and strength of the troops in Shiquan City.
In addition, Song Ziyu also found a map from Liu Gulai, a map of the Dark Mountains!
This is a great thing.
Before this, Song Ziyu relied on his own people to draw maps. This behavior was slow, had huge errors, and was very time-consuming.
Obtaining this map will bring great help to the team's march.
Song Ziyu carefully studied the newly obtained map and found that the entire eastern area of Miluo City-State was marked on the map.
Not only that, Song Ziyu also found the location of Blade Fire City on the map!
Looking at the distance between Blade Fire City and Stone Fist City, Song Ziyu knew that due to the mountain fire, his army had deviated from the established direction of action and appeared in a place where it should not have been.
But these are small things!
The general direction is east!
If you can't get to Blade Fire City, it's the same as taking down Stone Fist City and then repairing it.
"Send the order and ask the troops to come to the lake to replenish the water supply, take a rest and then go straight to Stone Fist City."
For a small town with only a few hundred people garrisoned, Song Ziyu didn't take it seriously yet.
What kind of bullshit governor, the village chief is almost enough.
"Boss, what should I do with this guy?"
Meng En looked at Liu Gulai.
"Hang this guy from a tree!"
Song Ziyu gave the order directly.
"Spare your life, I've taken them all!" Liu Gulai screamed.
"You don't have to die if you use all the tricks?" Song Ziyu sneered.
So, in full view of the public, the leader of the slave-hunting team, who was full of crimes, was hanged directly and executed on the spot.
It turns out!
In the face of death, even the most vicious people will feel fear.
When the noose was hoisted, the former leader of the slave hunting team wailed and begged for mercy.
It made no sense back then.
The rope was lowered from the tree and Death swung his scythe.
When Liu Gulai was hung up, he was struggling like a living shrimp, with feces and urine dripping out of his pants. He looked as disgusting as possible.
"Hey, what is this?"
Tang Jian picked up something from where Liu Gulai had knelt and kowtowed, and looked at it curiously.
"Let me take a look." Song Ziyu took the thing in Tang Jian's hand and fumbled for a while before saying, "This seems to be a recording pen... but it has been broken for a long time."
…
Song Ziyu obtained precious water supplies in the Qinghu settlement, and the troops who cast the nets returned one after another and gathered near the lake for repairs.
After a day's rest, the army, which had regained its fighting spirit, set off and headed straight for Stone Fist City.
Due to the problem of marching error, it will be a bit of a detour to go to Blade Fire City now.
Song Ziyu decided to lay down Stone Fist City as a stronghold first, and then planned to reach Blade Fire City.
Before departure, Song Ziyu set up a supply point in the Qinghu settlement to indicate the landing point for subsequent convoys transporting supplies, and hired survivors of Qinghu Town as guides for the army.
These survivors of Qinghu Town were naturally happy when they heard that the army was going to attack Shiquan City.
The survivors of Qinghu Town, without exception, all had companions who were captured and turned into slaves in Stone Fist City. Everyone hated those brutal slave hunters, but they just had no chance to resist.
Now!
The opportunity has come!
