Chapter 279 You Can Redeem Me
The battle is over. In the previous battle, the only ones who escaped were a few warships.

The reason why they were able to escape was very simple. Although "Zhang Jingyi's warships" were modern ships, they were "river ships" designed to sail in the Yangtze River and Jialing River. Such ships could barely fight on the seashore near the mouth of the Xifeng River. It would be too risky to let them go deep into the sea to pursue. If the waves were big, the river ships would capsize.

So Zhang Jingyi's warships did not chase the enemy ships, but let them run away.

But apart from the few warships that escaped, most of the Desert Kingdom's troops were taken prisoner. They handed over their weapons and armor and sat dejectedly in a pile on the coast.

Of course, some people would be tied up and strictly guarded even if they handed over their weapons and armor. For example, a guy like Akadula who could do magic could still do a lot of damage even without weapons and armor, so he would be tied up and looked very miserable.

"You can't do this to me!" Akadula protested angrily to the elves in front of him, "I am a nobleman and a duke in the Desert Kingdom. I demand the treatment of a duke-level prisoner. You even took off my turban! What you did is simply too rude."

It turned out that Akadullah was not only tied up, but his headscarf was also taken off.

The turban he wore was a folk turban from the Desert Kingdom, and almost everyone wore it since childhood. Once it was taken off, his entire head and face were exposed, and Akadullah felt very, very uncomfortable.

But his protest was useless. The elf politely rejected his protest: "We took off your turban so that we can see your appearance clearly! Otherwise, if you take off your armor and blend in with your subordinates, how can we find you?"

Akadullah: "Now that you can see my face, can you give me my headscarf back? Ahhh, it feels so weird without my headscarf. My whole head and face are on fire."

At this time, Zhang Jingyi came over and said with a smile: "Your folk headscarf is because you grew up in the desert. To prevent sandstorms, you wrap your head so tightly. But there is no sandstorm in the western forest. Your headscarf is no longer necessary equipment, and we will not return it to you."

Akadullah: “!!!”

He turned around and looked at Zhang Jingyi. At one glance, he could tell that Zhang Jingyi was the leader, because everyone else deliberately lagged behind Zhang Jingyi half a step to support him in the position of leader.

Even the 800-year-old elf grandmother deliberately lagged behind Zhang Jingyi by half a body length to show her recognition of his command authority.

Akadula was shocked and thought to himself: Who is this? How can he be so awesome? How did he gain recognition from the elves? For more than a thousand years, only the brave could do this.

But the hero was already dead!

The brave man's child became the second king of the Kingdom of Knights. However, because his personal ability was far inferior to the brave man's, and his moral character was not as good as his father's, his prestige as a leader was greatly reduced. Later, the third generation king became enemies with the Magic Kingdom because of national interests and launched a war. The brave man's lineage eventually became mediocre mortals.

Akadullah looked at Zhang Jingyi warily: "Who are you?"

Zhang Jingyi: "My last name is Zhang, you can call me Mr. Zhang! I'm just a hero out of interest."

Although Akadula didn't understand, he always felt that he seemed to be playing a joke, which clearly showed that he didn't want to tell the truth. Adults should know how to understand the hidden meanings in other people's words. Akadula didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, Mr. Zhang! I admit that you are very powerful. You organized so many sub-human races and successfully defeated me. But I don't think you need to kill me. I am a nobleman, a duke. You can use me in exchange for a large ransom. My family will be happy to redeem me."

"Ransom?" Zhang Jingyi reached out from behind and took out a 500-gram can of honey and a can of pepper, and placed them in front of Akadula: "Look, these two things, are they valuable?"

Akadullah: "Are you going to ask my family to redeem me with this? This is easy to negotiate. I will write a letter and my family will send honey and pepper..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Jingyi stuffed the jar of honey and pepper into the hands of the ratman leader next to him and said, "Here! This is the reward for you ratmen coming to help us in the battle this time."

The Ratman chief was overjoyed. The Ratman tribe had no productivity, and could only steal or gather things in the wild. They were extremely poor. Now that Zhang Jingyi had given him these two jars, it was a huge fortune for the entire Ratman tribe.

They could finally stop stealing and pick up things, and use this wealth to buy things from the goblin merchants.

The Rat Man Chief: "Oh, generous Mr. Zhang! All of us in the tribe are happy to obey your orders from now on, but... ahem... can you please let the cat man stand a little further away."

Zhang Jingyi: "Cat people are famous for not listening to orders. Even if I tell them to stand further away, they may not listen."

The Ratman Chief: "Ahem... I feel really stressed. I'll go a little further away."

He took the honey and pepper given by Zhang Jingyi and ran away, hiding far away, looking at the tabby warrior beside Zhang Jingyi with fear.

Zhang Jingyi turned around and looked at Akadullah: "Ah, just now you said that your people are willing to use something to redeem you?"

Akadula: "..."

This is very embarrassing!

Akadullah quickly changed his words: "Gold! Our desert kingdom is rich in gold."

"Oh? This is quite interesting." Zhang Jingyi said, "Hurry up and write a letter. Not far away on the sea, there is still a light sailing ship that you escaped from. It is waiting to see what happens next. You still have time to give them your letter."

Akadula was cheered up, and quickly signaled to the elf to untie him. He quickly wrote a letter, asking his family to pay a sum of money to redeem him.

At the same time, commanders of all ranks in the Desert Kingdom's army began writing letters.

Nowadays, as long as an aristocrat has a little bit of status and is protected by a family, as long as he is not killed on the spot in a war, he can be bought back with a ransom afterwards. This is a customary agreement among various countries.

In war, just let the lowly ordinary soldiers die.

Zhang Jingyi took a quick look and saw many people writing letters: Great, a large sum of gold is about to be deposited into the account.

However, the families of ordinary soldiers did not have enough money to redeem them.

They also know their fate...

There is basically only one way to survive: become a slave.

If you don't become a slave, you will die! So will you do it or not?
Elizabeth walked up to Zhang Jingyi and whispered, "Husband, there are a little more prisoners this time. If we use them all as slaves, I'm afraid we won't be able to manage them."
