The Heaven and Earth great formation was activated. Starlight poured down from the sky like a waterfall. Hazy silhouettes of legendary creatures sparkled on the city wall, while countless golden and silver spell symbols emerged on the ground outside the city.
The power of the earth was activated by the Heaven and Earth great formation. Soil and rocks squirmed like flowing water. Within a quarter of an hour, a city that could accommodate ten-million people appeared in the south of Yao Mountain City, three-hundred miles away from the city.
The furnaces were glowing red, with searing irons glowing brightly in the fires. Countless Yao Mountain slave warriors roared while forcibly dragging slave-hunting warriors to the front of the furnaces. Along with shrill howls, spell symbols sparkled dimly on the searing irons and branded themselves on the faces of these captive slave-hunting warriors.
The blood-red word 'slave' emitted a dazzling light, not only burning on the skin of these slave-hunting warriors, but also burning through their flesh and blood and imprinting on their bones. Streams of ruthless and overbearing wizard power were emitted from the brand, shuttling back and forth in the bodies of these captives like countless drills. They penetrated into their bone marrow, their internal organs, and even their souls.
A few Yao Mountain Maguspreists were guarding around every furnace, holding wands and incanting spells to replenish the searing irons in the furnaces.
The slave brand in the branding iron was like countless chains, locking the blood, flesh, and souls of these captives, burying the curse of eternal loyalty deep inside their souls. Once they showed any intention of betrayal, or were triggered by Yao Mountain Maguspreists, these captives would perish immediately, and their bodies would turn into powerful flesh bombs, destroying all living beings around them.
These searing irons were enough to imprison ordinary captives for the rest of their lives. But to powerful Yao Mountain warriors and Yu Clan nobles, they surely couldn't do it in such a simple and violent way.
The powerful Jia Clan warriors roared hoarsely as they were pressed to the ground by Yao Mountain warriors, who were stronger than them. Their armors were taken off, and their clothes were stripped off. Powerful elderly Maguspriests were holding long needles made from spirit beast bones or venomous fangs, dipping those needles into the blood ink, which was mixed with a secret method, and tattooed complicated and weird tattoos on the bodies of those Jia Clan warriors.
Weird tattoos squirmed on the bodies of those Jia Clan warriors. Gradually, these tattoos transformed into streams of colorful mist and seeped into the bodies of those Jia Clan warriors, quickly merging with their spirit power and souls.
While murmuring a spell, those Jia Clan warriors, who had their tattoos completed, stood up like walking corpses, uncontrollably lined up and walked towards the campsite nearby. These Jia Clan's warriors let out raging and despairing roars; some of them, who were proud enough, even burst into tears!
They clearly understood that with such tattoos on their bodies, Yao Mountain City would never release them again. They would serve Yao Mountain City for the rest of their lives, and even their children and grandchildren would become slaves of Yao Mountain City!
As members of the slave-hunting team themselves, they knew how miserable the fate of slaves was! The way human beings treated slaves would never be any easier than how non-humankind beings treated human slaves. It would only be crueler, without any warmth.
Nearly ten-thousand Yu Clan nobles stood aside with relaxed faces, silently watching their warriors being turned into slaves by Yao Mountain City. They clearly understood that the owner of Yao Mountain City would use them as bargaining chips and extort a large sum of money from their families.
This was the value of Yu Clan nobles. They were worth a lot of money. Therefore, unless they died on battlefields, normally, human captives would treat Yu Clan nobles nicely and politely.
Their lives would be safe, but they would lose a large sum of money.
Some careless Yu Clan young men were discussing the way Yao Mountain City controlled slaves. In low voices, they argued that the branding irons used in Yao Mountain City were too rough, and lacked artistic beauty. They felt that if they were the ones to design these branding irons, the 'slave' characters on the faces of these slaves would be even more beautiful.
As for the leaders of those slave-hunting troops, their faces were darkened, as they counted their losses with their fingers, heartbroken.
Not to mention their own ransom, so many Jia Clan warriors, Xiu Clan craftsmen, dark-kind slave warriors, and non-humankind slaves were captured, and all became Yao Mountain City's slaves. The loss of dark-kind slave warriors and non-humankind slaves was negligible, but the loss of these Jia Clan and Xiu Clan people … would cost a fortune!
"But of course, if we send the families of these people to Yao Mountain City, we can save the money. Besides, their families can also be converted into ransom money! " A long while later, the leader of the largest slave-hunting troop bit his lip and gave his suggestion with a low voice.
The other slave-hunting troop leaders' eyes shone, and they all applauded delightfully.
This idea was perfect. These Jia Clan warriors and Xiu Clan craftsmen were captured in Yao Mountain City, and they would have to pay a giant sum of money to comfort their families. But if all their families were sent to Yao Mountain City as slaves, this pension could be saved!
Besides, the heads of these Jia Clan and Xiu Clan people could be converted into a sum of money!
"But, we have to be careful." A relatively steady Xiu Clan noble said with a low voice, "After all, Jia Clan and Xiu Clan people are our people. Hmm … We all understand that we can't treat them like slaves."
The group of Xiu Clan nobles made faces and giggled.
Jia Clan warriors and Xiu Clan craftsmen in slave-hunting troops were all from small families. They didn't have any powerful backers, as they were forced to join slave-hunting troops and eat a bowl of meat and blood. As long as they were careful, sending all their families to Yao Mountain City wouldn't cause too much trouble.
"A bunch of greedy, stupid slave traders!" Dishi Tu stood in a distance, looking at these slave-hunting troop leaders in disgust.
He looked at those Maguspriests and warriors in Yao Mountain City, seeming to be thinking about something. Among these Yao Mountain City warriors, a large number of Jia Clan, dark-kind and non-humankind slaves were well-equipped. "He will be a tough opponent … No, in fact, he has already become the toughest commander among all local people! Marquis Yao Ji Hao, how shameless! He actually captured us all with a virus! "
Dishi Tu murmured to himself in a low voice. Next, he saw those 'human guides' of the slave-hunting army being stripped and pushed in front of the crowd in an extremely embarrassing way.
Along with a shrill howl, the skin of a 'human guide' was torn off by a magic spell, and his body was soaked in a vat of kerosene.
"Tell us who you are! Who ordered you to attack Yao Mountain City?"
A tall and sturdy Yao Mountain commander shouted harshly from the side.
The 'guide', who was soaked in kerosene, laughed hysterically despite the severe pain all over his body. "Burn me to death! I'm just an ordinary guide! Haha, burn me to death! Soon, you will die too! "
The human commander nodded and mercilessly threw a torch to this' guide '.
"Supreme Blood Moon, this is too cruel!" Dishi Tu took a few steps backward in fear and screamed out in a hoarse voice.
