Chapter 3160

"Yes!"

A large number of female soldiers had already finished their battles.

"Also, there must still be plenty of Naga in the lake and the river — dive in and check, don't let any of them go!"

"Understood!"

A moment later, the river water turned murky, and ripples spread across the lake's surface.

Segments of Naga corpses floated on the water.

Jin Jia's primary race was, after all, the Naga — there really were quite a few more in the water.

Within the prefecture city, the main residents were humans.

There were quite a few humans wearing golden armor or golden robes, clearly nobles — likely family or clansmen of Jin Jia, numbering around several hundred.

The female soldiers looked at Zhao Chi, awaiting his command.

Jin Jia was killed — these nobles were Zhao Chi's sworn blood enemies.

None could be spared.

"Kill them all!"

"Yes!"

The female soldiers did not hesitate in the slightest — blade-light and fire-light flared up together.

Besides the nobles, there were also tens of thousands of ordinary craftsmen and slave laborers, mostly humans, with elves and beastfolk as well. Other races such as goblins, dwarves, and succubi also appeared in some numbers.

Kill them all?

Zhao Chi hesitated for a moment.

Killing them all would be fastest.

Right now, speed should indeed be pursued.

But...

After a moment's thought, he ordered: "Teleport these people to Eternal Village — it must be done immediately. Anyone who hesitates, kill them!"

"Yes!"

The female soldiers immediately stepped forward to begin the teleportation.

The moment they saw the Eternal Race female soldiers, these people knew Jin Jia was dead.

The vast majority of slave laborers teleported away without the slightest hesitation, and most of the craftsmen did as well.

Those who hesitated, or tried to set conditions, were all executed.

And there were even some craftsmen who wanted to act haughty on the strength of their talent?

"I'm an expert-grade craftsman — I demand you give me a promise!"

"You're far too brutish! You actually killed Lord Jin in his full armor? I won't go with you! Even if my special techniques are lost forever, I still won't go with you!"

"Don't touch me — I won't be teleported!"

"I'm a master-grade craftsman — you can't treat me like this. I need to pack up some supplies before I can go with you!"

What kind of attitude is this, at a time like this?

Craftsmen like these have no brains — useless even if kept. Kill them all!

"Hey, hey, hey — ahhh, ahhh — don't! I'll go with you! Ah—"

"Ah, how can you really attack me? I'm a master-grade craftsman — I'm high-grade talent! Didn't your lord tell you to respect us? No, no, no—!!"

Blade rises, blade falls.

All dead.

Eternal Village was the most recently established territory — Zhao Chi's second publicly known territory. It had not been built up at all yet, and was only being looked after in passing.

That territory was just sitting there idle — might as well teleport these people over.

After all, they were manpower.

Of course, killing them all was also an option — but since they could be captured, why not capture a few more?

Besides, even Jin Jia and his regular army had been crushed with overwhelming superiority — any hidden soldiers among these people would be useless anyway.

After capturing them, Zhao Chi would be able to see their status. Once the battle was over, there would be time to screen them one by one and deal with those soldiers.

The rest could be given away or sold, either way.

A matter done in passing.

But Zhao Chi also understood why Yao Feng and the others had told him to kill them all.

Because there really might not be enough time.

Relocating tens of thousands of people was no easy thing to do in a short period.

Fortunately, the female soldiers were very fast — 18,000 female soldiers instantly spread to every corner of the entire territory.

With so many people, work went quickly too. Their execution followed Zhao Chi's requirements exactly, down to the last detail.

The forced relocation was swiftly completed.
