As the old man in black robe left, the hundred magicians lost their combat power and the horse bandits who were still fighting collapsed instantly. They raised their horse whips, whipped the horses under them hard, and fled to the distance.
The Ye family army, who had lost the suppression of magic, had red eyes, waved the weapons in their hands, followed closely behind the horse bandits, and began to hunt down a fleeing horse bandit, turning off a fleeing horse bandit and turning it into cold corpses.
When the sun moved westward and the night came, the Ye family army, who were pursuing the horse bandits, returned to the base with more or less heads of the horse bandits, showing off their merits to their companions.
"Young Master, our Ye family army suffered more than 1,000 casualties in this battle, of which more than 300 were killed, and more than 15,000 horse bandits were killed, and less than 5,000 horse bandits escaped."
Ye Yi looked at Ye Chen with shame and said.
Ye Yi was very ashamed of the Ye family army, one of the strongest troops in the Wu Kingdom, lost one-tenth of its combat effectiveness when facing more than 20,000 horse bandits.
"Well, I understand. The dead Ye family army was burned on the spot, put the ashes into earthen jars, and transported them to Linhai County. After we settled down, we would mail each of their families 100 gold coins as blood-sucking gold.
The injured Ye family army made every effort to treat the injured, and each person was given a disability fee of 50 gold coins. After minor injuries, soldiers who can recover their combat effectiveness can be restored. After recovering from the injury, they will return to the army. After serious injuries, soldiers who cannot continue fighting after treatment, will be given a job for each of them to make them have no worries about food and clothing.
Also, it was not your fault that the Ye family army suffered too much casualties this time, so you don’t have to blame yourself. After all, none of us expected that a group of bandits would actually have a magician army.
However, the fact that the bandits used the Magician Legion this time reminded us that although our Ye family army is powerful, its military branches are too single. In the past, we could not see the problems in it when fighting with other imperial corps. Now, once our Ye family army fights independently, the problems in it appear.
In order to improve the combat effectiveness and survivability of our Ye family army, I will form a magician army as soon as possible to assist the Ye family army in combat. At the same time, you must also think of ways to establish an assault squad in the Ye family army, and a long-range army that specializes in dealing with the magician army, specifically to attack enemy leaders and important figures, as well as a powerful magician army. If you have anything you need to help me, I will try my best to meet your requirements."
After looking at Ye Yi with a look of shame on his face, Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said.
"Young Master, don't worry, I will arrange all this. Also, Young Master, if you form a ranged army that specializes in attacking the enemy magician legion, you need a large number of long-range magic equipment such as magic bows, magic crossbows, magic arrows, etc.."
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Yi's face relaxed, he pondered for a moment and said.
"I understand. You can first form a long-range troops. As for the long-range magic attack equipment, I will find a way."
Hearing Ye Yi's words, Ye Chen was silent for a while and secretly called Rudolph's attention. He knew that Rudolph was an amazing alchemist, and he really felt sorry for him if he didn't make any decisions about him.
"Young Master, I've brought back the Black Tiger's head!"
While talking, Ada walked to Ye Chen and handed the head of Heihu to Ye Chen and said.
"Ye Yi, please continue to give the instructions and cut off the heads of the horse bandits, pile them up into a Jingguan, shock the horse bandits in Heishuyuan, and let them know the majesty of our Ye family army!"
Ye Chen did not take Heihu's head, but just glanced lightly, then turned to Ye Yi beside him and ordered.
"It's the young master!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Yi, who was annoyed by more than a thousand casualties of the Ye family army, responded without any hesitation, took the Black Tiger's head from A Da's hand and walked towards the battlefield full of corpses.
After Ye Yi left, Ye Chen took A Da into a heavily guarded tent.
At this time, a hundred magicians were tied tightly by the Ye family army with ropes, like rice dumplings, lying weakly on the ground, staring at Ye Chen entering the tent with his terrified eyes.
"Dear magicians, good evening!"
After looking at the magician lying on the ground, Ye Chen pulled a chair, sat on it, and said lightly.
"Ye Chen, we are all powerful magicians. We ask you to give us the treatment we deserve according to the mainland convention, loosen our ties, and allow us to exchange ransom for our freedom."
A magician who looked like a leader, covered in scars and a bruised face, looked at Ye Chen sitting on the chair and shouted loudly.
Most of the casualties of thousands of soldiers in the Ye family army were caused by magicians. Therefore, the Ye family army had no favoritism for this group of captured magicians. They were not polite to him at all, and they would punch and kick him at all. If Ye Chen had not given orders, they would not be allowed to harm the magician's life. These hundred magicians would have been chopped by the Ye family army with red eyes.
"Continental Convention? I remember that it seems that when two countries are fighting, the captured magicians can enjoy the treatment of magicians in the Continental Convention. As for the magicians who are mixed in the horse bandit group, it seems that there is no such treatment!"
Looking at the magician with a bruised nose and swollen face, Ye Chen raised his legs and said lightly.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, the magician was furious and didn't know what to say.
Seeing the magician's embarrassing appearance, Ye Chen smiled slightly, took out a sharp dagger from the space ring, stood up, walked to the magician, and waved it casually in his horrified eyes, and cold cold light flashed, shaving off the eyebrows on his face.
"Tell me your name and your origin. I can consider giving you a way out. Otherwise, I would not mind cutting off your heads and piled up the heads of those humble horse bandits to form a large Jingguan for the residents of Hei Suiyuan to enjoy!"
He blew a light breath and blew the eyebrows on the sharp dagger into the air, and said in a cold tone.
Feeling the chill on his brows and hearing Ye Chen's cold words, the magician led by him was shocked and hesitated for a little bit: "My name is Zhao Hai, we are the magicians hired by the Lu family. As long as you kill you, we will receive generous rewards!"
Hearing Zhao Hai's words, Ye Chen's face turned cold and his eyes shone. He was not yet able to compete with the Lu family head-on. However, after he was promoted to a foundation-building cultivator, he would mercilessly uproot the Lu family!
Feeling the cold murderous intent emitted from Ye Chen's body, Zhao Hai's face changed slightly, and he said with a thorn in his mouth: "Master Ye Chen, we are willing to exchange the ransom for our own freedom. Please offer a price!"
"You group of magicians have caused thousands of casualties in our Ye family army. According to the 100 million gold coins per Ye family soldier, a total of 100 billion gold coins. As long as you compensate our Ye family army for the loss of 100 billion gold coins, I will give you freedom."
Hearing Zhao Hai's words, Ye Chen put the matter of the Lu family aside for the time being, looked at Zhao Hai with a cold face, and said lightly that he did not intend to let these hundred magicians go, but wanted to subdue them and form his own magician army. Otherwise, wouldn't he capture them all and not allow the Ye family army to take their lives.
"Shameless! You are blackmailing!"
As soon as Ye Chen's voice fell, Zhao Hai had not responded yet, and the other magicians started to curse!
One hundred billion gold coins! What a joke? If they could take out one hundred billion gold coins, how could they be hired by the Lu family!
To train a level six warrior, it takes up to 10,000 gold coins. Most of the Ye family soldiers are all level four or five soldiers. Even if the Ye family trained since childhood, a Ye family soldier would only require thousands of gold coins!
Besides, most of the soldiers in the Ye family were recruited by the Ye family in the territory of Wu Kingdom. Each soldier spent less than one thousand gold coins. The total number of more than 10,000 soldiers of the Ye family army spent the most, and now Ye Chen directly asked for a ransom of 100 billion. It was not a blackmail, so what was it!
"Black test? That's right, I'm blackmail! What can you do to me? You have three choices now, pay a ransom of 100 billion gold coins, and I give you freedom; I serve me for three years, and after three years, I give you freedom; I cut off my head and pile it up with the heads of the bandits into Jingguan for people to appreciate!"
Hearing the shouts of many magicians, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanged and he said lightly.
