Chapter 1178

Zhao Chi was very satisfied.

Next door, someone was still wailing at the top of their lungs.

That was Zhuang Ya torturing those beastman captives with low obedience.

But Zhuang Ya was only one person; she couldn't torture them all.

Besides, with so many beastmen and new low-obedience ones appearing every day, there was no worry of Zhuang Ya running out of people to torture.

This matter had just been entrusted to Zhuang Ya, so he should go tell her now.

He entered the next room.

A deafening shriek.

Accompanied by a faint smell of burning.

The beastmen's roars had been loud, but their current wailing was even louder.

And Zhuang Ya's laughter was equally shrill.

"Ah, hahahahaha, you big hunk, is that all you've got? Weren't you at 1 obedience point? How did you get to 3? How did you level up so fast? Hahahahaha~"

"Alright, since you're so sensible, I'll let you off. Now let's see who I should burn next? There are still so many at 1 obedience — what a dilemma. Who should I burn first? Ah, you then~ Hahahaha~"

The beastmen, hearing that laughter, all flinched in terror, staring at her in panic.

Zhao Chi saw her cheeks flushed pink, brimming with spring vitality.

Clearly, morale had been maxed out.

Seeing Zhao Chi, she beamed: "My lord, you're here, hahaha, these beastmen's screams are really over the top."

She had truly gotten into the zone.

Zhao Chi told her his idea.

Zhuang Ya laughed: "No problem. As long as I have one to torture every day, that's enough. I'll take them to Chaoge Village right now."

"Alright, go in batches. Send those who've reached 4 obedience points first. Those overseers are yours to manage too. Thank you for your hard work."

Zhuang Ya smiled prettily: "Don't worry. With me here, no one can rebel."

Zhao Chi nodded: "That's true… having you do this job, I really am at ease."

The first batch to enter Chaoge Village was 400 beastmen.

All of them had 4 obedience points.

Some were timid by nature and dared not resist; some had their obedience scorched up by Zhuang Ya; some had been scared into 4 obedience by Zhuang Ya.

In any case, they were all usable now.

Going in with them were also 50 overseers.

This battle had yielded quite a few leather armors and weapons, which were distributed to them directly.

These 50 people overseeing 400 was still manageable.

And Chaoge Village also had Gu Yan's group of 50 female farmers.

Don't be fooled by them being mere farmers — their stats were higher than the beastmen's, and their genes were extremely strong.

Add to that the overwhelming boost from the Carefree Spring, and their bodies full of fragrance, and dealing with these beastmen was truly a sure thing.

At the same time, Zhao Chi also transferred those Naga warriors over.

Although there were only 14 of them, they were at least somewhat useful.

The remaining 150 overseers had the job of assisting Zhuang Ya, torturing those low-obedience beastmen one by one.

These overseers were full of pent-up resentment and would hurt them however painful they could.

Those beastmen's good days were over.

Gu Qing's side was transporting things very quickly.

The transport was almost done.

"How much is left?"

Zhao Chi looked at cart after cart of supplies — mostly basic resources.

Gu Qing smiled: "Just the last ten-plus carts left. It'll all be moved in no time."

"Good. Let me know once it's done. I'm going to destroy the territory."

"Alright. This time, although those sisters were careful and tried to capture prisoners alive, over 50 beastmen still died. How do we handle them? Still throw them away?"

Hearing this, Zhao Chi fell silent.

In the past, that had indeed been how it was handled.

As long as they were humanoid races — elves, goblins, beastmen, and the like — Zhao Chi basically left them where they were, to be destroyed along with their territory.

But now…

He felt his own mindset had changed.

Ever since Tang Ruan took off her jade armor, Zhao Chi had felt his state of mind was completely different.

Tang Ruan had already done that much — so what was wrong with making a little more use of the enemy?

They were beastmen, after all…

What was the difference between them and pigs?

"Hand those beastman corpses over to Zhuang Ya for processing. Dismember and sell them."

Gu Qing was very surprised: "Really? Are you sure?"

"Sure. They're just corpses. Use them all from now on."

"Including humans too?"

"Including humans!"

Those he killed himself were all enemies.

You've already killed the enemy and taken their most precious life — why bother with their corpse?

Until now, Zhao Chi had been acting according to his original three views.

But those three views belonged to his old world; they didn't suit this place, or at least not this place at its current stage.

Since he's come here, he has to adapt to this world.

Even Tang Ruan's jade armor was used — what does the enemy count for?

Make use of everything to its fullest.

Sell the hide, render out the oil for fire oil, and feed the meat to the Naga.

After making this decision, Zhao Chi's heart was utterly undisturbed.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "I understand, my lord. You've truly grown. I'm happy for you."

"Happy?"

"Yes. You were still a bit too kind before. Actually, sometimes that's unnecessary — it brings danger."

"I'm still kind?"

"Mm~ grow slowly, little cutie."

Gu Qing smiled gently and patted Zhao Chi's head.

Zhao Chi didn't dodge.

He was carefully mulling over her words.

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll send people to bring the corpse back. Would you like me to stay and keep you company?"

Zhao Chi sighed: "It's fine, no need. Just keep the butchering spot a bit away from the kitchen — don't mix them up."

Gu Qing covered her mouth and laughed: "How could I possibly mix them up? Rest assured."

With that, Gu Qing left.

A faint warm fragrance slowly faded away too.

Zhao Chi sighed again.

Soon, all the supplies had been transported.

At the edge of the Mist Wall, Zhao Chi activated the data for the opposing territory.

【The current territory lord has been captured by you. Please choose a method of handling.】

【1. Occupy】

【2. Vassal】

【3. Destroy】

Still the usual three options.

Previously, Zhao Chi wouldn't even glance at the first two options.
