These more than 600 captives were mainly women and children, with very few elderly people. The so-called children are only eight or nine years old, because if they are older, they can basically go to the battlefield. The number of women is not large, about a hundred, and they are not healthy women but mostly suffer from injuries and illnesses. Because if it's the former, you can go to the battlefield.
Yang Baoping's suggestion was to kill them all. She said that no one in the entire raiding army knew the habits of Rakshasa better than she did. The customs and habits of these six hundred Rakshasa were different from those of humans and hybrids, or they would have spent years and a lot of food to support them. Assimilate, or kill them quickly to eliminate future troubles.
Li Bochen thought for a whole day and felt that what Yang Baoping said made sense. There are only a few hundred of them. If these prisoners cause trouble and foreign enemies attack, the consequences will be disastrous. But just when he was about to give the order, he felt Yaohou getting slightly warm and knew that it was Xu Cheng who had something to say. For a moment, he suddenly felt a little proud - Xu Cheng was his secret soldier, he liked to make suggestions, and his words often came in handy. The Snow Wind Sword God behind him is a powerful secret spirit, and now he has become his ally for the time being. Yang Baoping is a mixed-blood from Beiyuan, and now he has become his guest general, and there is no doubt about the loyalty of Ge Xuanbai and other Six Nations people to him.
When he was in Mengjiatun, what he wanted was today's situation but failed. Unexpectedly, after the end of the road, there was a bright future. In the past, we always talked about the world and the foundation. Now that we have gained the Black Leaf Castle, it is finally considered the beginning of the climate. Although many of these are due to good luck, who has achieved great success from ancient times to the present has had bad luck?
However, he also knows that although the weather looks good now, it is actually very fragile. If he makes a few wrong decisions in a row, he may end up with nothing like he did in Mengjiatun. Therefore, he summoned Xu Cheng out with a thought. Now he can also use the saying "listen to both, and you will be enlightened, and believe in partiality, and you will be dark." He also has to listen to Xu Cheng's opinion.
After Xu Cheng appeared, he said, "I don't think there's any need to kill."
He pointed outside the house again: "You were also worried that our soldiers would not follow you to the north, but in the end, no one objected. Most of them agreed, which is normal, but 'no one objected' was wrong. Why? Because you summoned the incarnation of the spirit god by the river, they knew that you were either the spirit master or the royal family of King Li who had luck. Because of this level, no one had any objections - you did the luck Heirs are used to it, and they have forgotten how much people in this world revere spiritual gods. Lu Ruoya - she is a Rakshasa who can't even understand why she has to raise orphans for others, but because of the Qing Dynasty Demon You have sworn to help us sneak into the Rakshasa camp. This is because of the respect for the spiritual god. Since Luruoya has been used by us, why not let her lead the Rakshasa as a fire bearer? What? She can also tell them that you are actually a demon or something like that - I think your emperor won't mind."
He paused and then said: "Also, have you noticed that Noya has become smarter? The Sword God said that this probably means that the relationship between her and you is too deep, and your identity is too deep. It's so special that she was abandoned by the devil. If that's the case, wouldn't she have nothing to worry about if she becomes your disciple of Beichen? You can even ask these Rakshasa to start worshiping Beichen!"
What he said makes sense. Li Bochen once said that he hoped that one day all ethnic groups could live in harmony, but he used to think that this was just a good wish. At least in one or two generations, such a sign would not be seen. But Noah's transformation made him realize that his experience in that world could not only provide a lot of useful help, but also restrict his thinking - in his place, people did not believe in spiritual gods as much as here, and even used their Will is your own highest will.
So he said: "Let me think about it again."
Then Li Bochen stood up and walked out of the house.
The shape of Black Leaf Castle is completely different from the architecture of the Six Nations. In fact, it is more similar to the "castle" where he came from. The main body of the building is six stories high and lacks unified planning and design. It seems that there should be four or five houses as the foundation first. Then as more and more people came, more and more houses were built, and the city walls were built at the same time. When there were so many houses that the walls could no longer fit, they started to develop upward along the hillside, one on top of another, until they look like this today - there are stone corridors everywhere when walking, and the internal structure is extremely complex. From the outside and from a distance, the entire Black Leaf Castle shows an inexplicable grandeur and exquisiteness because of this complex structure.
It was precisely because Li Bochen knew this layout that he tried his best to avoid a strong attack. If a street fight started in such a complicated and tortuous passage, even half-bloods would suffer casualties. From this perspective, Noya has made a great contribution, and he needs to have a good talk with her.
Noah's house was on the west side of the uppermost floor of Black Leaf Castle. He slowly walked through the sometimes narrow and sometimes wide corridors. The narrow areas are relatively clean, but the wide areas are full of blood stains that have not been cleaned up, and there are even pieces of meat and stumps, making people think that they are in a slaughterhouse.
When they arrived at the door of Noya's house, they found that the door was ajar and there were low voices inside. He looked inside and found that there was someone else - Rikishi, the son of the former clan leader, the only survivor of the Black Leaf family. There are seven other Rakshasa beside Lixi, they look like his guards or companions, all of them are men.
Li Bochen knew that almost all the adult male Rakshasa in Black Leaf Castle had died in the battle. Those who were still alive were either injured before and were unable to fight, or they were the people in charge of managing some important affairs in the castle, so they really couldn't leave. open. Now, just after the war, a group of people gathered in the house of Noya, who was also a Rakshasa, which made his heart skip a beat. After a moment of hesitation, he leaned beside the door and listened.
His Rakshasa language has improved greatly now. He originally wanted to call Xu Cheng out if he really couldn't understand, but in fact he understood everything - Noya was saying: "...Yes, it was the city gate I opened, By doing this, I not only betrayed Black Leaf Castle, but also betrayed the Demon Lord."
When she said this, Li Bochen heard several Rakshasas in the room gasp, seeming confused and uncomfortable that she dared to talk about this matter openly.
Nuo Ya added: "But I am still fine now. The Demon King did not do anything to me. There are many people like me - haven't you seen those mixed-bloods? You have always heard of Li Ducheng, right? Li Ducheng There are people living together with Rakshasa, and the Rakshasa there all betrayed the Demon King, but not only have they been fine for decades, but now they are fighting here——"
"Betraying the Demon King will make the Demon God angry!" Lixie said suddenly, his voice still full of doubts and fear, "It will... it will..."
Noah smiled: "What will happen? You can't tell, right? Because we haven't thought about this for so many years, but now you see what will happen - the Black Leaf Castle loyal to the Demon Lord has been captured, and you all Became prisoners. If you don’t listen to me, even you will become their meat!”
The more Li Bochen listened, the more surprised he became. Now this Noya is completely different from the female Rakshasa when they first met - she has become more human, and she is a wise person. Is all this because she was loyal to herself, Beichen, and thus got rid of the control of Demon Lord Qingxiao? But if the Rakshasa in the room are the same as Noya, her words may not be effective.
Sure enough, Lixie still said: "But betraying the Demon Lord will make the Demon Lord angry!"
Li Bochen smiled in his heart. It was difficult for even one person to be persuaded by another person, let alone a Rakshasa who was afraid of the Demon Lord? These Rakshasa in the room are considered to be relatively smart and relatively life-saving in Black Leaf Castle. Even if they reacted like this, the others in the fort would be even more difficult to convince.
Just when he felt that he had slowly made up his mind, he heard Noah say: "Okay, then we can find another way to make you stop eating meat."
She paused and said slowly: "If you don't want to betray the Demon God, you can always be loyal to that Li Bochen, right? Just like you did to the former clan leader. You can swear an oath in front of him to eliminate the Demon Lord - if he can spare his life From now on, you will only obey his orders and do things for him. In this way, the devil will not be angry, right?"
After a while, Lixie said: "Then I can't eat your eye. You have become their fire bearer, and you won't gouge out the other eye."
Noah said, "Because eating the fire bearer's eyes will give him wisdom? Lixie, you will gain wisdom - as long as you do what I say."
There was another moment of silence in the room as the Rakshasas chatted rapidly in low voices. They spoke very fast and had some other accents, so Li Boxen couldn't fully understand them, but he realized that they were discussing whether this method was considered betraying the devil. Finally, Lixxi said: "Okay, let's ask that person to be our new clan leader. Maybe we have to swear to the devil? How can I kill him and become the clan leader myself?"
After he said this, several other Rakshasa in the room agreed. Li Boxen was not surprised by this. The rule in many animal groups is that when the leader gets old and weak, a strong one will replace him. The same rule should be the same in the Rakshasa group. However, as long as these Rakshasa can swear to themselves - if Noya really became a Beichen believer because of the oath with him, then the same should be true for these Rakshasas.
So he smiled slightly, strode into the room before Noya spoke, and said in Rakshasa language: "Then follow your rules. Be loyal to me, and then try to kill me when you think you can challenge me - —But according to your rules, before challenging me, should you have no doubts about me?"
The Rakshasa in the room didn't expect Li Boxen to walk in suddenly, and was in a daze for a while, looking at each other. After two breaths, several people suddenly showed fierce looks in their eyes. They seemed to think that now was a perfect opportunity to kill him, and suddenly pounced on him.
Li Boxen had been on guard against this, so he immediately took a step back and stood outside the door. The doors of Black Leaf Castle are very narrow, probably for better defense and to keep warm. As soon as he retreated, several Rakshasa in the room could only step forward one by one. Lixxi pounced first, looking aggressive but completely disorganized, just relying on brute force. Li Bochen used all his strength and raised his foot to kick him in the heart. His body was tempered by the power of the spiritual god a few months ago, and he was at the peak of dragon and tiger. The strength of this kick was far greater than that of an ordinary Rakshasa. Lixie was kicked by him so hard that she almost flew back, knocking two of them down at once.
The few Rakshasa behind them were stunned for a moment, as if they couldn't decide whether to stop for a moment, but their bodies were faster than their thoughts and they rushed forward. Li Bochen took a step forward, stepped into the arms of one Rakshasa and knocked him away, then turned around and kicked the other Rakshasa. The two of them were also pushed back three or four steps, and the rest were knocked down.
He seemed to be doing these three moves with ease and ease. After turning around and standing at the door again, he smiled slightly and said, "It seems you are not good at it yet."
