EHVIEWER1.7.6

At the Holy Dragon city’s Gate, it was unusually noisy.

On the wide road, dejected captives kept walking slowly. They were staggering, and the sound of metal shackles hitting each other could be heard from time to time.

The sound was extremely harsh and monotonous. It was unknown if it was also foretelling the future life of these captives, that it would also be dim and dull.

To become a captive on the battlefield, one had to prepare for the worst.

It was normal to do hard work in prison, but the most worrying thing was that he might be stabbed at any time.

These mercenaries were secretly regretting their decision. Perhaps they should not have participated in this ridiculous mission from the beginning!

At this moment, even the shock and uproar in the cities on the continent after learning that the mission had failed had nothing to do with them.

As the losers of the war, they would receive the punishment they deserved and wait for the Holy Dragon city’s judgment.

Even their family members would only think that they had died on the battlefield!

This was the fate of mercenaries. They could be as reckless as a storm, or they could die silently like wild dogs.

On both sides of the wide road, there were Holy Dragon City soldiers standing on top of cars. They held cold rifles and looked at the captives expressionlessly.

As long as the captives had any strange movements, they would not hesitate to shoot and kill them.

The cars whizzed past, and blood dripped from the gaps of the cars. Without looking closely, one could tell that the goods inside were all incomplete corpses.

These were all the mother tree’s ‘food’, even if it did not like them.

A group of human captives were brought over. Their clothes and armors were also in tatters. When they looked at the Holy Dragon City soldiers around them, their expressions were very complicated.

Although they were all humans, they belonged to different cities. Even if heaven battling city was far more powerful than Holy Dragon City, it still couldn’t change the fact that the two sides were enemies.

Since they were all enemies, the Holy Dragon City would naturally treat them equally!

The captives would be temporarily imprisoned in the lowest level of the underground city, waiting for the final outcome.

As for how to deal with these captives, Tang Zhen actually had a headache.

Out of the thirty thousand attackers, less than half of them died under the Holy Dragon city’s guns. The rest were either taken captive or captured alive by the Holy Dragon City.

Tang Zhen did not care about those who were lucky enough to escape. They could only count themselves lucky that they did not die under the Holy Dragon city’s guns.

The harsh conditions of the wilderness would at least reap the lives of half of the escapees.

He didn’t care about the escapees, but he had to deal with the captured mercenaries.

This was because these guys were dangerous bombs that would explode if they were not careful, endangering the stability of Holy Dragon City.

He had to be extra careful when dealing with such unstable factors.

Killing all of them would save him a lot of trouble.

However, after the interrogation, Tang Zhen was somewhat reluctant.

Among these prisoners, there were many talents who were quite useful to Holy Dragon City.

For example, among the dwarven mercenaries, there were many good blacksmiths who were suitable for the hearthhammers.

With their help, the production speed of weapons and armor would be greatly increased.

Another example was the military doctors among these mercenaries. Their skills were many times better than those second-rate military doctors in Holy Dragon City. Some of them could even concoct precious medicine.

Compared to them, the Holy Dragon city’s military doctors seemed very amateurish. It was no wonder that the Holy Dragon City soldiers secretly called them ” quacks.

Talents were hard to come by, and since he couldn’t bear to kill them, he would leave them alive and squeeze out all their remaining value.

However, Tang Zhen would face another difficult problem.

Who could guarantee that these captives would be willing to work for Holy Dragon City and would not secretly do something?

It was the most worrying choice.

Tang Zhen was feeling troubled in his heart when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The thick and heavy door slowly opened. A tall and beautiful woman slowly walked in. It was as though her feet did not touch the ground as she floated to Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen faintly smiled as he looked at the other party’s beautiful yet cold appearance.

“I hope that city Lord will not take offense for disturbing us at this time!”

After the female manager of the ghost bank in a white uniform stopped, she smiled sweetly and bowed to Tang Zhen.

“You’re welcome. What’s the matter?”

One wouldn’t visit a temple without a reason. If the other party had come at this time, it must be something very important.

“The city Lord’s Tower has just been upgraded to Level 5, and our bank’s level has also been upgraded, all thanks to you.

In return, we have prepared a gift for you. I believe the city Lord will be very interested!”

Tang Zhen frowned and indicated for the female supervisor to continue.

Holy Dragon City has annihilated countless enemies this time and captured many prisoners. The city Lord looks worried. You must be troubled about how to deal with these prisoners, right? ”

Tang Zhen nodded. A trace of a smile surfaced on the corner of his mouth.

“It’s our principle to care for our customers” needs.

Therefore, our ghost bank has specially launched a new soul contract product to help you effectively manage these captives and make them serve you with all their heart.

If a prisoner who has signed a contract goes against the contract, his soul will be taken back by the ghost bank. We will then evaluate the soul and pay you the corresponding number of brain beads!”

Tang Zhen laughed softly as he stared at the female manager of the ghost bank.

it’s indeed a good thing. Your ghost bank’s service is really considerate. No matter how I look at it, I won’t lose anything!

“City Lord, you’re too kind. I wonder if you’re interested in trying it out?”

no need to beat around the bush. What price do I have to pay to obtain this soul contract? ”

The ghost bank would not give away such a soul contract for free. Business was business, and they must have a request.

As for what the other party wanted, this was the question that Tang Zhen was most concerned about.

The lady Supervisor laughed softly and said to Tang Zhen,”Since that’s the case, I’ll be direct.

I hope that the city Lord can spare the dark Bone race cultivators and hand them over to the ghost bank.

In return, we will provide you with a sufficient number of free soul contracts.”

The dark Bone race cultivators that the other party had mentioned were the black-robed cultivators who wielded Sickles and could float in the air.

Tang Zhen pondered for a moment before saying to the female supervisor,”We can hand them over to the ghost bank, but can you reveal the specific use of these Dark Bone race cultivators?”

“Of course you can!”

Following the lady Supervisor’s explanation, Tang Zhen also understood the reason why the other party had exchanged the dark Bone clan cultivators.

As the business of the ghost bank continued to expand, more and more foreign merchants began to contact the ghost bank and use their souls as collateral for loans.

It was inevitable that there would be some lucky ones who did not return the loan when the contract expired, or even disappeared without a trace.

These guys didn’t care about the contract at all. They always thought that the ghost bank could do nothing to them.

These self-conceited guys didn’t know that the real purpose of the ghost bank’s loans was to lure people like them out.

Only if they went against the contract would the spirit Bank be able to legally obtain spiritual power from them!

Unfortunately, the ghost bank still lacked a group of employees who specialized in ” collecting debts, ” so they had not taken any action.

The female manager of the ghost bank had taken a fancy to the dark Bone race cultivators who had participated in the siege this time, so she had personally visited Tang Zhen to discuss the exchange.

Tang Zhen was naturally very supportive of this kind of mutually beneficial thing.

The only thing that made Tang Zhen feel regretful was that this soul contract only had a duration of ten years.

If he wanted a soul contract with a longer duration, he would have to wait for Holy Dragon City to level up again.

To be on the safe side, Tang Zhen requested that the ghost bank not sell this kind of soul contract at will. The female manager also nodded in agreement.

After the two sides finished their discussion, Tang Zhen gave the order to send the dark Bone clan cultivators into the ghost bank.

Tang Zhen didn’t know what they would encounter in the pitch-black Ghost bank, but he was certain of one thing. The duration of the soul contract with these Dark Bone clan cultivators was definitely much longer than that of ordinary captives.

The ghost bank would definitely not do a business that would make a loss!

In the days to come, there would often be Dark Bone race cultivators in black robes and carrying huge Sickles going in and out of the ghost bank on the first floor of the main tower.

Whether they were willing or not, these Dark Bone race cultivators had lost their freedom from the day they had signed the contract.

They were running around everywhere. Whether it was the desolate wilderness or the bustling city, it was possible to see their figures.

In their hands, they often held a crystal ball with a flickering gray object floating inside.

These gray objects were the soul power extracted from the defiers. They were all taken back by these death-like guys and returned to the ghost bank.

As for the purpose of this soul power, only a “ghost” would know!
