I Have A City In An Alternate World



1016 The ransom

The sound of gunfire gradually became sparse until it could no longer be heard.

Smoke rose from the snow-covered city, and the smell of blood lingered for a long time. A large number of corpses were piled up here.

A rough count showed that at least 3000 soldiers of Snow City had lost their lives on the city wall!

This siege battle was very short. From the launch of the attack to the charge into the city, it only took a few minutes.

In the face of such backward cold weapon fortifications, the Holy Dragon city’s high-tech weapons were completely overwhelming. They broke through the enemy’s line of defense in an instant and scared them out of their wits. They no longer dared to resist!

With bargof’s escape, the remaining 10000 or so soldiers of Snow City immediately fell into chaos. They either hid in the city, their hearts filled with fear.

They could either continue to put up a stubborn resistance and be killed by the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers, or be captured.

As for the soldiers of Snow City who threw away their weapons and surrendered, or took off their clothes to disguise themselves as civilians, there were countless of them.

However, as long as they were well-behaved and did not cause trouble, the Holy Dragon City would not pay attention to them for the time being. At most, they would be subdued immediately after encountering them and would not be shot to death easily.

As the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers swept through the streets, from time to time, there would be soldiers from Snow City, whose hands and feet were tied up with specially made straps, being thrown on the side of the road, and let them roll and struggle on the ground.

However, in the face of the calls for help from the soldiers of Snow City, the residents of Snow City only hid behind the door and looked on coldly. No one dared to come forward to help.

Because in the sky above them, the unmanned attack aircraft were constantly circling. From time to time, Holy Dragon city’s chariots would roar past.

After a while, the soldiers of Snow City were thrown onto the chariots and sent directly to the temporary prisoner of war camp in the city.

Other than the ordinary soldiers, the nobles of Snow City who had participated in the battle were all hiding in their own homes, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Men, women, old, and young, all of them took out their weapons, preparing for the worst to happen and making a final struggle.

Even if they weren’t a match for the professional soldiers, they still had to fight to the death!

Although they were prepared to die, their faces were still filled with despair and grief. Their hands and feet were constantly trembling.

Death could come at any time, how many people could face it calmly?

The brawny man, who had once gone to the tavern to drink and was very dissatisfied with bargov, was now wearing a battle armor stained with blood and minced meat, standing in the courtyard with a serious expression.

“Everyone, get ready. If the otherworldly demons want to kill us, we can’t let them kill us!

Even if we die, the Zhan Kuang clan will definitely die in battle!”

Hearing the brawny man’s low growl, everyone nodded their heads, their faces showing determination.

“Bang!”

With a muffled sound, the main door of Zhan Kuang clan was kicked open, and broken wood flew in all directions.

One after another, muscular figures appeared, and black muzzles were pointed at the panicked crowd. Although their faces were blocked by black helmets, the crowd could still feel the cold gazes on the weapons in their hands.

The moment there was any abnormality, the other party would launch an attack without hesitation!

Looking at the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers in black armor, carrying sabers and rifles, some women and children began to cry, and sat limply on the ground.

As the head of the family, the brawny man stood up and looked at the Holy Dragon City soldier in front of him. “Among these people, only me and a dozen clansmen participated in the battle to defend the city.

We’re willing to accept the punishment, but please let the women and children go!”

Glancing at the armed robot standing outside the door, the brawny man dropped the weapon in his hand and half-knelt on the ground with his head lowered. This was an action of letting the other party do whatever they wanted.

The family Warriors behind him also threw down their weapons and half-knelt behind the family head!

A series of footsteps could be heard, and a Holy Dragon City cultivator walked in.

He looked at the scene in the courtyard and snorted coldly, ” clan leader of the battle fanatic clan, you have been convicted for assisting bargof in the battle!

The battle fanatic tribe leader, who was half-kneeling on the ground, trembled a little when he heard this, but he did not argue.

The rules were set by the winner, and he knew that no matter how he tried to explain, it would be useless. If the otherworldly demons wanted to kill him, they didn’t need any excuse!

The Holy Dragon City cultivator nodded and continued, ” however, because you did not cause any damage to Holy Dragon City, we decided to give you a lighter sentence. You can pay a ransom to atone for your crimes and the crimes of your clansmen!

When the battle fanatic tribe leader heard this, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. He raised his head and asked, ” “Then please tell me, how many gold coins do I need to pay?”

At this moment, the battle fanatic tribe leader was already prepared to bleed.

“We don’t want gold coins, we only want soul stones. You have to pay 200 soul stones within the stipulated time limit, and your sin will be erased.

If you don’t pay on time, you should know the consequences!”

After saying this, the Holy Dragon City cultivator turned around and walked out of the courtyard, heading to the next house of a noble in Snow City.

He still had a lot of work to do in the following days!

Seeing the Holy Dragon city’s soldiers leave with their imposing auras, all the battle fanatics looked at each other, feeling pleasantly surprised as if they had just escaped death.

The battle maniac clan leader stood up from the ground and lowered his head in deep thought for a moment. He then turned to look at an old man beside him.

“How many soul stones do we have left in our treasure vault?”

When the old man heard this, he immediately replied, ” soul stones of various sizes, a total of more than 300!

The battle fanatic nodded his head lightly.

take out all the soul stones and give them to the heavenly demonic tribe. Don’t leave a single one!

Since the heavenly demonic tribe wanted this kind of Soul Stone, he might as well hand over all of his collection and maybe they would look up to him.

Perhaps the heavenly demonic clan didn’t lack soul stones, but it was enough for them to know the attitude of Zhan Kuang’s clan!

The battle fanatic tribe leader, who had witnessed the terrifying strength of the Holy Dragon City, no longer had any expectations for the reinforcements and Demon Slayer Army. He even had thoughts of joining the Holy Dragon City.

Following such a powerful master, the Zhan Kuang clan would definitely gain huge benefits.

However, this matter was related to the life and death of Zhan Kuang’s clan, and he definitely couldn’t make a rash decision. He still had to look at the situation first!

Just as the battle maniac tribe leader was secretly rejoicing over his escape to death and pondering how he could gain benefits from Holy Dragon City, a mixture of sadness and joy was playing out in the noble families of Snow City.

They originally thought that they would not be able to escape death and torture, but who would have thought that the Holy Dragon City would propose such a way of atonement, which made the dignitaries overjoyed.

In the end, after the Holy Dragon City cultivators left, these dignitaries immediately rummaged through their boxes and cabinets and began to collect the soul stones needed for the ransom.

If they did not have any at home or did not have enough reserves, they would immediately take a large amount of gold coins and start to buy things in private after being allowed to go on the streets in Holy Dragon City.

In just one night, the price of soul stones in Snow City had increased by several times, and there was still a demand but no supply!

This was because all the soul stones had been taken away by the otherworldly demons. They had even taken out carts of shiny gold coins to purchase all kinds of soul stones at a high price!

The Holy Dragon City had also issued an ultimatum to the nobles of Snow City who had not paid the ransom. If they did not pay the ransom in time, it was not impossible for their families to be exterminated!

The nobles of the city had no choice but to use messenger birds to ask their friends and relatives from other territories to help them collect soul stones and send them to the city.

It didn’t take long for the news of the exorbitant price of soul stones in Snow City to spread, attracting the attention of countless people.

Some of the more daring adventurers, driven by profit, did not care whether the place was occupied by the otherworldly demons or not. They all took the soul stones they had collected and headed to Snow City.

In the end, when they returned, every adventurer had made a fortune!

This situation of getting rich overnight also caused more and more adventurers to take action quickly and participate in the ranks of collecting soul stones.

All sorts of ruins, caves, and secret realms were filled with adventurers searching for soul stones.

Of course, these things would happen in the future.

The current Snow City was not much different from before, other than the destruction of many places and the change of ruler.

Because of the Holy Dragon city’s generosity, this city that had experienced chaos and war quickly regained its original vitality, and even became more lively!
