Chapter 967: Chapter 597: Harvest (Item Data, Not for those who Dislike)

A group gathered together, and although they weren’t exactly drooling with greed, there was a sense of rubbing their hands together eagerly, much like the feeling of dividing the loot after clearing a dungeon.

Although this battle resulted in a costly victory, setting conscience and emotion aside, and looking purely from a perspective of benefit, there are advantages to such a victory. Most notably, the number of people sharing the fruits of victory would be greatly reduced.

The same victory divided among ten thousand versus one thousand has an almost heaven-and-earth difference. With fewer numbers, the share of experience and loot quality rises significantly. If casualties are so severe that only the Lord remains, you can essentially achieve the effect of a “solo run” against thousands of troops.

Some heartless Lords, in pursuit of supreme equipment and rare items, resort to such Pseudo Single Brush tactics, exchanging the lives of their soldiers for a grim victory, ultimately gaining vast amounts of reputation and high-quality loot.

Although this Pseudo Single Brush tactic is outrageous, in this Gods and Demons-set Lords’ war, interests always come first, making such tactics not uncommon among Lords.

Of course, the probability of failure is equally high, as it is difficult to control the outcomes of war, especially with such a grim victory.

Xu Yang now had essentially conducted a Pseudo Single Brush. Thirty thousand troops collapsed, and eight hundred snatched the final fruits of victory—the quality of the loot could only be imagined.

As usual, the spoils of war were divided into three categories: prisoners, regular drops, and special rewards.

First, the prisoners. Leveraging his terrifying deterrence from his unrivaled charge, cutting down generals and capturing the King, Xu Yang took tens of thousands of enemy soldiers prisoner, mainly Civilization Units, including many Special Troops and valuable Heroes.

One Epic Hero, twelve Rare Heroes, and twenty-five Common Heroes.

Three Lords and thirty thousand troops mean that there should be at least a hundred Heroes. However, Xu Yang’s massacre during the charge had killed many of the enemy Battle Heroes, including one Epic Archer Hero, leaving only this much.

No need to mention the Epic Hero; it was the same Wen Da who had led the charge and was equally matched with Yue Yun.

…

Looking at Wen Da’s attributes and skills, Xu Yang didn’t say much and simply turned his gaze towards two people: “Who’s interested in this?”

“This…”

Upon hearing this, both were startled and somewhat disbelieving. In the end, it was Zhang Yan who spoke: “You don’t want him?”

Xu Yang shook his head: “Not necessary.”

Although Wen Da’s attributes were excellent, and he was an all-around General, Xu Yang still chose not to keep him.

It was not that he did not need more people, but rather he had no choice. Although the “King’s Way” skill could make prisoners submit after battles, it was probabilistic and not guaranteed. Wen Da was rather unlucky and didn’t fall into the probability.

With King’s Way not activating and Xu Yang lacking items or skills for persuasion, recruiting an Epic Hero like Wen Da would take an unknown amount of effort. He did not have the Mind Power or time for it and preferred to get rid of him, compensating the two’s losses or trading for resources to rebuild his territory.

The two looked at each other, both somewhat tempted, but Zhang Yan glanced at Feng Cheng, then her ally Yue Yun, and eventually shook her head, “I have Yue Yun. I’m not particularly short on Generals; give him to Feng Cheng. He’s lost his Hero and territory; he needs a powerful Hero to start over.”

“This…”

“Then it’s settled!”

Feng Cheng wanted to refuse, but Xu Yang quashed his objection: “When you go back to the Sky-reaching Tower, look for a recruitment skill or item. This is a Hero prisoner, not a Hero Contract; it’s useless if you can’t persuade him to join.”

“Yang!”

Taking the prisoner’s contract Xu Yang handed over, Feng Cheng was greatly moved and immediately patted his chest, promising, “From now on, we are brothers of different mothers, my Hero is yours…”

Xu Yang looked at him, shook his head, and turned his gaze back to Zhang Yan, “As for the rest of the Heroes and troops, keep them if you need them. If not, take them to the Sky-reaching Tower to trade for the resources or equipment skills you need, rebuild your territory, and arm your Heroes.”

“This…”

Although she had already guessed, Zhang Yan still showed a look of surprise when hearing his arrangements.

These were tens of thousands of captives, tens of thousands of Civilization Units, including many Special Troops and Rare Heroes, already persuaded by his skills. Even without the matching Civilization buildings, they could form an elite army and wrestle with Lords on the reputation leaderboard.

Such a formidable force, he was actually giving it all away to her and Feng Cheng without taking a shred for himself?

Are there such generous people in the world?

Was their support in this battle of such great value?
