The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 62: No Ill-treatment of Prisoners and Return of All Captured Goods to the Public

As Abes kicked the football back, the few people who had been a little fanatical just now were too embarrassed to say such inhumane words as kill them all.

After all, racial differences are a real fact in their world.

If you behead Lizardmen without any discrimination, what about Dragonborn, who are distant relatives of the Lizardmen?

Although it sounds unbelievable, when fighting against the Dragon Sundering Disaster, the brave warrior Abes Grande had a dragon-born teammate.

If lizardmen and dragonborn can be categorized as kill-kill-kill, then what about tieflings?

For many people, these creatures with the devil's essence flowing in their blood are indeed an annoying alien species. Due to their lack of education, they are more easily seduced by the great devil.

However, due to the tragic history of the North being sent to hell, almost several percent of the population has the essence of the devil in their blood.

Being a dog for the devil and the demon is an inevitable choice for survival.

Tieflings are not a rare race in the North.

And people were surprised to find that after being educated and having a normal childhood, Tieflings did not become an inherently evil race as they had imagined.

Therefore, once the butcher knife is wielded at will, the gap will only become bigger and bigger and more and more irreversible.

Are the three short races, halflings, gnomes, and dwarves, considered alien species? The proud and elegant elves are loved by everyone, but after all, they have the chaos and absurdity of felines, so are they considered alien species? Are half-elves and half-orcs considered alien species?

Therefore, when Abes kicked the football back, those people hesitated and didn't know how to start.

Seeing everyone hesitate, this was exactly what Abes wanted.

"Well, since you can't make up your mind, I'll have to help you make a decision. Before that, I just need to ask a few questions."

"First, are the Lizardmen an intelligent race?"

"Yes, but..."

"Second, are lizardmen inherently evil?"

"That should be the case. I remember that there was a period of peaceful trade between the Lizardmen and us in history."

"That's just a disguise. After changing to this Dragon Slayer Tribe, they just come west every year to rob the valley. They are a group of bad guys who are more evil than the devil."

"Don't talk nonsense. I have a child from a distant relative's family, and he's a tiefling. This was all caused by the fall of the North. Now he's grown up and is actually quite educated and reasonable. Even the essence of the devil can't be called evil, let alone the lizardmen?"

Before they finished their discussion, Abes immediately asked the next question, "Third, is it possible to educate, transform, and unite the Lizardmen?"

This time, the answer to Abes' question took a long time to come.

Finally, affirmative answers slowly came from the mouths of the scouts.

"There is a possibility."

Yes, they are also an intelligent race, they are not inherently evil.

Once these two premises are recognized, it is easy to use the syllogism to derive the next point - that the Lizardmen are captives who can be persuaded and reformed, rather than wild beasts that can only be dealt with by the death penalty.

"I didn't stop people from seeking revenge." Abes spoke again, "He who kills should be put to death. This is the most basic legal and moral pleasure. However, if there is no crime of murder, the death penalty cannot be used uniformly to measure it."

After Silvermoon Farm was burned down, Abes finally burned the corpses of the lizardmen in the flames.

When faced with a defeated army, Abesi gave those who had lost their loved ones and friends a chance to take revenge.

Some of the defeated soldiers and captives who were able to be released at that time gave up the opportunity to take revenge.

After freeing many humans from captivity, Abes turned around and locked the lizardmen into the prisoner's cage.

This is the equality of punishment.

Recalling the various orders that Abes had issued, everyone in the scout team nodded.

Indeed, Lord Abeth had never stopped them from seeking revenge.

Now, they have no direct hatred with the Lizardmen in this camp, and they may have some better options than killing innocent people.

What would happen if the target of their war was changed to a human country in Zhongzhou?

It is impossible that they would want to kill all the people in Zhongzhou just because of the invasion of Zhongzhou.

Finally, after Abes had guided them to think about it, they expressed their opinions as Abes had expected. "We now feel that the Lizardmen captives cannot be killed at will."

"That's right. We don't want to become the kind of unreasonable people who rely on weapons to ride on the necks of others."

"If they are guilty of murder, they should be sentenced to death. If not, we can make them work and help us to pay for their crimes."

"Okay!" Abes clapped his hands. "We need to rest here for a while. During this time, I can teach you how to judge fairly and impartially, and how to educate and reform an enemy."

Anivia, who had cleared out the Tengyan Cattails in the camp, was also a member of the scout team. However, for some reason, she sat in the corner without saying a word the whole time. Abes thought about it, wrote a note and handed it to her.

"Please take the trouble to make this trip and inform the rest of the camp of what we have discussed."

The golden double helix shook violently, and then the blond half-elf took the note.

Written on it were the five big words: "Do not abuse prisoners."

----------

After the scout group dispersed, Abes took out a piece of paper and wrote quickly, thinking about how to make the troops concentrate on their work.

At that time, the group of civilians gathered in groups of three or five to rob the property in the camp, and even dismantled the tents they were sitting in to divide them up.

That crazy and greedy expression really made Abes feel a little chilled.

Seeing small gains and forgetting big principles...

We've only just reached this point. It's just a supply point. Why is there such a fight over it?

Moreover, he had promised that rewards would be distributed after the supply camp was captured, but he had never said that he would condone them from robbing the camp.

It’s okay now. The target is Lizardmen, which are considered alien species and will not have any impact on their reputation.

What if later, when we have conquered castles and cities, and this group of unruly people see the prosperity and wealth that far exceeds that of a mere camp, will they massacre the entire city?

Fortunately, there is still time.

First of all, the scout team that had followed him in many battles had never done such a thing.

There were only a small number of people in the security team who joined the crowd in the looting.

The people who mainly do these things are those in the logistics team.

In other words, the knife still listens to me.

With weapons in hand, everything will be easy.

Secondly, Abesi also knew very well why they were looting.

War not only costs money, but also lives. The food and fodder consumed by 100,000 soldiers every month would probably require 400,000 logistics troops to transport.

This is just a theory, a rough calculation.

However, in actual combat, the enemy will certainly launch an all-out attack, disrupt supply lines, and even destroy supply stations.

Just like how Abes and his men dealt with the Lizardmen, they robbed them of their food and killed their manpower.

With such losses, the actual demand for logistics will be higher.

A war is often protracted, so once the supplies are exhausted, where will the follow-up come from?

The answer is, grab.

Besides this, another reason for their looting is greed.

Why be greedy? It’s nothing more than worrying about uneven distribution.

It is precisely because of the above two reasons that the people in the logistics team are looting property in the camp.

Once we know the cause, we can eliminate their concerns by taking appropriate measures.

Worried about a stalemate in the war?

It's wishful thinking. In order to save the situation with rebellious generals at home and alien invasions from abroad, it is impossible not to attack quickly.

Don't believe it? Then come and compete with the brave man to see whether he can quickly send you to the Divine Palace to meet the gods, or you can send his soul back to the Heaven of Separation.

Worried about uneven distribution?

Order that all captured items should be turned over to the public. Anyone who dares to be unfair, unbalanced, or keep them for private use should try Abes's hand and half sword.

The plan has been made, and all that's left now is to wait for Kronos and his men who went to cut off the water supply to return.

Once you have the "knife" firmly in your hand, you can deal with those unruly people who don't obey your orders.
