The city gate of Shenglong City was extremely noisy at the moment.
On the spacious road, dejected prisoners kept walking slowly, their steps staggering one by one, and the sound of banging metal shackles could be heard from time to time.
This voice is extremely harsh and monotonous. I wonder if it also indicates that the future life of these prisoners will also be bleak?
If you become a prisoner on the battlefield, you must prepare for the worst.
It is normal to sit in a jail and do hard work, but the possibility of being stabbed at some point is the most worrying thing.
These mercenaries secretly regretted that 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 mainland after learning that the mission had failed had nothing to do with them.
As the losers of the war, they will accept the punishment they deserve and wait for the trial of Holy Dragon City.
Even their family members will only treat them as if they have died on the battlefield!
This is the fate of mercenaries, they can be as unscrupulous as the strong wind passing by, or they can die silently like wild dogs.
On both sides of the wide road, there were Holy Dragon City soldiers standing astride the tops of cars. They held cold rifles and looked at the prisoners expressionlessly.
As long as these prisoners made the slightest movement, they would shoot them without hesitation.
Cars roared past one after another, and blood kept dripping from the gaps in the carriages. You didn't need to look closely to know that the goods inside were all mutilated corpses.
These are the "food" of the mother tree, even if it doesn't like them.
A group of human prisoners were escorted over. Their armors were also in pieces. When they looked at the surrounding Holy Dragon City soldiers, their expressions were very complicated.
Although they both belong to the human race, they belong to different buildings. Even if Zhantian City is far more powerful than Holy Dragon City, it still cannot change the fact that the two sides are hostile.
Since both sides are enemies, Shenglong City will naturally treat them equally!
These prisoners will be temporarily imprisoned at the lowest level of the dungeon, waiting for the final processing results.
Tang Zhen actually had a headache as to how to deal with these prisoners.
Of the 30,000 attackers, less than half were killed by Holy Dragon City's gunfire, and the rest were either made prisoners or captured alive by Holy Dragon City.
Tang Zhen didn't care about those guys who escaped by chance. If they didn't die under the gunfire of Shenglong City, they could only be considered lucky.
The harsh conditions of the wilderness will kill at least half of those who escape.
The escapees need not be ignored, but the captured mercenaries must be dealt with properly.
Because these guys are dangerous bombs that will explode if you are not careful, endangering the stability of Holy Dragon City.
Extreme care must be taken when dealing with such unstable factors.
It would be easier to kill them all, it would be over in one go.
But after interrogation, Tang Zhen felt a little reluctant to let go.
Among these prisoners, there are actually quite a few talents who are quite useful to Holy Dragon City.
For example, among the dwarf mercenaries, there are many good blacksmiths, who are suitable for use as laborers for the furnace hammer.
With their addition, the production speed of weapons and armor will be greatly increased.
Another example is that the military doctors among these mercenaries are many times better than the two-sword military doctors in Shenglong City. Some of them can even prepare precious medicines.
Compared with them, the military doctors in Holy Dragon City looked very amateurish. No wonder they were secretly called "quack doctors" by the soldiers in Holy Dragon City.
Talents are rare, and since you are reluctant to kill them, let's keep them alive and squeeze out all their remaining value.
But if this happens, Tang Zhen will face another problem.
Who can guarantee that these captives will willingly contribute to the Holy Dragon City and will not do any sneaky tricks?
The most frustrating thing is choosing between choices.
Tang Zhen was in trouble when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
The heavy door slowly opened, and a tall beauty walked in slowly, as if her feet were not touching the ground, and floated in front of Tang Zhen.
Looking at the other party's beautiful yet cold appearance, Tang Zhen smiled slightly.
"I hope the Lord of the City won't be offended if I come to disturb you at this time!"
The female supervisor of the ghost bank in white uniform stopped, smiled sweetly, and bowed to Tang Zhen.
"You're welcome, what do you want from me?"
There is no need to go to the Three Treasures Palace. If the other party comes at this time, there must be something very important.
"Lord City Lord, your building city has just been upgraded to level five, and our bank level has also been upgraded. All of this is due to you.
In return, we have prepared a gift for you, I believe the City Lord will be very interested!"
Tang Zhen frowned and motioned to the female supervisor to continue.
"Holy Dragon City has wiped out countless enemies this time and captured many prisoners. The Lord of the City has a sad face. He must be worried about how to deal with these prisoners, right?"
Tang Zhen nodded, with a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
“It has always been our aim to address our customers’ concerns.
Therefore, our Ghost Bank has specially launched a new soul contract product, which can help you effectively manage these captives and let them serve you wholeheartedly.
Once the prisoner who signed the contract violates the contract, his soul will be recovered by the ghost bank, and we will value the soul and pay you the corresponding number of brain beads!"
Tang Zhen chuckled and looked at the female manager of the ghost bank intently.
"It's indeed a good thing. Your ghost bank's service is really considerate. No matter what, you won't suffer any loss!"
"Your Majesty the City Lord has won the prize. I wonder if you are interested in trying it out?"
"No need to beat around the bush, what price do I need to pay to obtain this kind of soul contract?"
The ghost bank will not give away this kind of soul contract for free. In business, they must have something to ask for.
What the other party wants is what Tang Zhen is most concerned about.
The female supervisor smiled softly and said to Tang Zhen: "In that case, I will tell you directly.
I hope the city lord can let go of the Netherbone monks and transfer them all to the Ghost Bank.
In return, we will provide you with a sufficient number of free soul contracts."
The Netherbone Clan monk the other party talks about is the kind of black-robed monk who wields a sickle and can float in the air.
Tang Zhen pondered for a moment and said to the female supervisor: "It's okay to hand them over to the Ghost Bank, but can you reveal the specific use of these Netherbone monks?"
"sure!"
Following the female supervisor's narration, Tang Zhen also understood the reason why the other party exchanged the Netherbone Clan monks.
As the business of ghost banks continues to expand, more and more foreign businessmen have begun to contact ghost banks and use their souls for mortgage loans.
It is inevitable that some people will be lucky enough to fail to repay the loan when the contract expires, or even disappear without a trace.
These guys didn't pay attention to the contract at all. They always thought that the mountains were high and the water was long, what could the ghost bank do to me?
These smart-aleck guys don't know that the real purpose of ghost banks in issuing loans is to lure people like them out.
Only if they violate the contract can the Ghost Bank legally obtain soul power from them!
Unfortunately, today's ghost banks still lack a group of employees dedicated to "collecting accounts", so no action has been taken yet.
This time, the Nether Bone Clan monks who participated in the siege were spotted by the female manager of the Ghost Bank, so they came to discuss the exchange with Tang Zhen in person.
Tang Zhen is naturally very supportive of this kind of mutual benefit.
The only thing that Tang Zhen regrets is that this soul contract only lasts for ten years.
If you want a soul contract with a longer term, you have to wait until Holy Dragon City upgrades its level again.
For the sake of safety, Tang Zhen asked the ghost bank not to sell this kind of soul contract at will, and the female supervisor nodded in agreement.
After the discussion between the two parties was completed, as Tang Zhen's order was issued, all the monks from the Nether Bone Tribe were sent to the Ghost Bank.
Tang Zhen didn't know what they would encounter in the dark ghost bank, but one thing Tang Zhen was sure of was that the soul contract period of these Netherbone monks must be much longer than that of ordinary prisoners.
Ghost banks will definitely not engage in loss-making transactions!
In the days to come, in the Ghost Bank located in the lobby on the first floor of the main building city, there will often be Netherbone Clan monks wearing black robes and carrying a huge scythe coming in and out.
Regardless of whether they were willing or not, these Netherbone monks lost their freedom forever from the day they signed the contract.
They run around everywhere, whether it is in the desolate wilderness or the bustling city, you may see them.
In their hands, they often hold a crystal ball with flickering gray objects floating inside.
These gray objects are the soul power extracted from the defaulters. They are all taken back by these guys who look like the god of death and returned to the ghost bank.
As for the use of these soul powers, only "ghosts" really know!
