The sound of gunfire gradually became sparse until it was no longer audible.
Smoke was everywhere in Xueman City, the smell of blood lingered for a long time, and a large number of corpses were piled up here.
According to rough statistics, at least more than 3,000 Snowman City soldiers lost their lives here!
This siege battle took very little time. From launching the attack to rushing into the city, it only took a few minutes.
When faced with such backward cold-weapon defenses, Shenglong City's high-tech weapons were in a state of complete crushing. They broke through the enemy's defense line in an instant and left their livers and gallbladders torn apart. They did not dare to put up any resistance.
Heart!
As Balgruuf fled, the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers in Snowrun City immediately became confused. They were either hiding in the city, and their hearts were completely filled with fear.
Either continue to resist stubbornly, and then be killed by the soldiers of Holy Dragon City, or captured.
As for the soldiers of Snowman City who threw away their weapons and surrendered, or took off their clothes to disguise themselves as civilians, there were countless others.
However, as long as they do not cause trouble, Shenglong City will not pay attention to them for the time being. At most, they will just subdue them after encountering them and will not shoot them easily.
As groups of Holy Dragon City soldiers swept past, on the deserted streets, from time to time there would be Snowman City soldiers whose hands and feet were locked with special strapping belts, and would be randomly thrown on the roadside and allowed to roll on the ground.
struggle.
However, in the face of the calls for help from the soldiers of Snowman City, the residents of Snowman City just hid behind the door to check indifferently, but no one dared to come forward to help.
Because in the sky above our heads, unmanned attack aircraft were constantly circling, and from time to time, chariots from the Holy Dragon City would roar past.
After a while, these Xueman City soldiers were thrown into the car and sent directly to the temporary prisoner of war camp in the city.
In addition to these ordinary soldiers, the dignitaries of Xueman City who participated in the battle to defend the city were huddled in their homes as if the end was coming at this moment.
No matter men, women, old or young, they all took out their weapons and prepared for the last struggle in the worst case scenario.
Even if they are no match for those professional soldiers, they still have to fight before they die!
Although they were prepared to die, their faces were still filled with despair and sadness, and their hands and feet were constantly trembling.
Death may come at any time, how many people can face it calmly?
The strong man who once drank in a tavern and was very dissatisfied with Balgruuf now stood in the courtyard wearing a battle armor stained with blood and minced meat, with a serious expression on his face.
"Everyone, be prepared. If the demons from outside the world want to be wiped out, we must not let them slaughter them!
Even if it means death, the Zhan Kuang family will definitely fight to the death!"
Hearing the strong man's roar, everyone nodded with a look of determination on their faces.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the door of the Zhan Kuang family was kicked open, and splinters of wood flew everywhere.
Strong figures appeared one after another, and the dark muzzles were pointed at the panicked people. Although their faces were blocked by black helmets, everyone still felt the cold eyes falling on the weapons in their hands.
If there is any slight abnormality, the opponent will launch an attack without hesitation!
Looking at the Holy Dragon City soldiers wearing black armor, carrying swords and holding rifles on their backs, some women and children began to burst into tears and slumped on the ground.
As the head of the family, the strong man stood up, looked at the Holy Dragon City soldiers in front of him and said: "Among these people, only a dozen or so tribesmen and I participated in the battle to defend the city.
We are willing to accept the punishment, but please let women and children go!"
Glancing at the armed robot standing outside the door, the strong man dropped the weapon in his hand, half-knelt on the ground and lowered his head. This was an action of letting the other party do what he wanted.
The family warriors behind him also threw away their weapons and half-knelt behind the clan leader!
There was a sound of footsteps, and then a monk from Holy Dragon City walked in.
He looked at the scene in the yard and snorted coldly: "Head of the Zhan Kuang family, you have been found guilty because you assisted Balgruuf in participating in the battle!"
When the Zhan Kuang clan leader, who was half kneeling on the ground, heard this, his strong body trembled, but he did not argue.
The rules are made by the victor, and he knows that no matter how he excuses himself, it will be of no use. If the demons from outside the world intend to kill him, they will not need any excuse at all!
Seeing this, the monks from Holy Dragon City nodded and continued: "But because you did not cause any damage to Holy Dragon City, we decided to deal with it leniently. You can pay the ransom to atone for yourself and your tribe!"
When the leader of the Zhan Kuang clan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and asked, "Then please tell me how many gold coins I need to pay as ransom?"
At this time, the leader of the Zhan Kuang clan was ready to bleed.
"We don't want gold coins, only soul stones. You need to pay two hundred soul stones within the specified period, and your sins will be erased.
If you fail to pay by the due date, you will know the consequences yourself!"
After saying this, the Holy Dragon City monk turned around and walked out of the courtyard, heading to the next home of a powerful person in Xueman City.
He will be very busy in the coming time!
Seeing those shockingly powerful Holy Dragon City warriors leaving, all the Zhan Kuang tribesmen looked at each other, feeling quite surprised that they had narrowly escaped death.
The Zhan Kuang clan leader stood up from the ground, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then turned to look at an old man beside him.
"How many soul stones are left in our treasure house?"
Upon hearing this, the old man immediately replied: "There are more than three hundred soul stones of various types, large and small, in total!"
Hearing this, the Zhan Kuang clan members nodded slightly.
"Take out all the soul stones and give them to the demons from outside the world. Don't keep any of them!"
Since the demons from outside the world want this kind of soul stone, then I might as well hand over all my collection, and maybe I can let the other party take a high look.
Maybe the demons outside the world don't lack soul stones, but they can know the attitude of the Zhan Kuang family through this, which is enough!
The leader of the Zhan Kuang clan, who had seen the terrifying power of Holy Dragon City, had given up hope on reinforcements and demon-slaying legions, and even had the idea of seeking refuge in Holy Dragon City.
Following such a powerful master, the Zhan Kuang family will definitely gain great benefits.
However, this matter is related to the life and death of the Zhan Kuang family. You must not make a hasty decision. You still have to look at the situation first!
While the leader of the Zhankuang clan was secretly rejoicing that he had escaped death, and thinking about how to gain benefits from the Holy Dragon City, stories of joy and sorrow were being played out one after another in the homes of the powerful people in Xueman City.
They originally thought that they would not be able to escape the punishment of death and torture, but who would have expected that Holy Dragon City would actually propose this method of atonement, which also made the dignitaries overjoyed.
As a result, after the monks from Holy Dragon City left, these dignitaries immediately rummaged through their boxes and began to collect the soul stones needed for the ransom.
If you don't have any at home, or if you don't have enough reserves, you can immediately take a lot of gold coins and start buying them in private after being allowed to go out on the streets in Shenglong City.
But overnight, the price of soul stones in Xueman City increased several times, and they were still expensive but not available!
Because all the soul stones were taken away by the demons from outside the world, they even took out cars of shiny gold coins to buy various soul stones at high prices!
Shenglong City also issued an ultimatum to the dignitaries of Xueman City who owe ransom. If they fail to pay the ransom within the time limit, it is not impossible to confiscate their homes and exterminate their families!
The powerful people in Snowman City were forced to use tools such as messenger birds to ask relatives and friends in other territories to help collect soul stones, and then quickly sent them to Snowman City.
Not long after, news spread about the high price of soul stones in Xueman City, attracting the attention of countless people.
Driven by profit, some bold adventurers took the collected soul stones to Snowman City, regardless of whether it was occupied by demons from outside the world.
After returning, every adventurer made a fortune!
This situation of getting rich overnight has also caused more and more adventurers to act quickly and participate in collecting soul stones.
Various relics, ruins, and secret caves are full of adventurers searching for soul stones.
Of course, these things will all happen in the future.
Today's Xueman City is not much different from the original except that many places were damaged and the rulers were changed.
Because of the magnanimity of Shenglong City, this city that had gone through riots and wars quickly returned to its original vitality and became even more lively!
