Chapter 222: You Are Free

The battle was over.

From the beginning to the end of the invasion, 10 minutes had passed, and all the enemies of the battalion that accompanied Minos had been brutally killed.

Bodies without heads, limbs of different people tossed about, could be seen in that place, which was now dyed red with the blood of those many people who had died there.

The scenery was like that of a war, holes in the floors, destroyed walls, and a dense smell that would make any more sensitive person feel nauseous and anxious.

And in this devastated environment, the soldiers of Minos were already beginning to gather, as they sighed wearily, after trying so hard to defeat their enemies.

They were genuinely tired. After all, even though their battle techniques were better than those of their enemies, these Sergeants were still outnumbered. Therefore, each of them needed to rest for a while as they regained their energy.

At the same time, those women who the owners of this establishment had enslaved were already awake, even if before, some of them had passed out.

Even though Abby and Eda used an array of concealment to seal off the sound of this place, this only prevented such information from leaking outside the walls of this place.

Consequently, with the noise of battles inside that place, those women who were unconscious had already awakened and were at this moment in silence, afraid that something terrible could happen to them.

In a situation like this, it would be expected that they would become slaves to these invaders, so none of them would have the naive thought that these people would set them free.

It was a dream for all of them, but in a place like this, it would be a delight to believe that something like this would happen. The world was cruel, and hardly anyone did anything about it against slavery, especially in places like the Cromwell Kingdom.

Anyway, while the soldiers began to recover from what had happened and those captives watched the invaders, Minos was already walking through that place, accompanied by the two women of the Miller family.

Abby and Eda were pleased with the Black Plain Army's soldiers' performance and how Minos handled this situation.

The young Stuart was no fool to think of acting alone, and he knew very well how to use the collective strength of the Black Plain. After all, he had created this power precisely for that and not just to show...

Anyway, Minos knew how to fight in a group very well, giving support to those soldiers who needed it most, as he didn't interfere in the fights of those who were doing well.

It was essential to let these soldiers fight as much as possible so that they would further improve their understanding of their respective battle techniques. But not only that, but this was also a way for those people to push their bodies to the limit and even increase their cultivation speed.

Cultivation depended a lot on the quality of cultivation technique, followed by talent, resources, and finally, battles. All of this could ignite a person's cultivation speed, so Minos wanted these soldiers to have lots of experience and even take a liking to it.

And as he moved through that destroyed, blood-soaked land, Minos finally came close to the corpse of the leader of the guard of this establishment that had been invaded.

He was curious to see the spatial rings of this man and the pirate Del, who had kidnapped Peter. As for the other dead, Minos would leave it to his soldiers to collect their items. There were a lot of people there, and probably many didn't even have spatial rings.

Anyway, it didn't take long, and some of the soldiers, who were less worn out from the previous fight, began to do the looting work, at the same time that Minos had already collected the rings of those two men.

And noticing what the young Stuart was doing, Abby smiled slightly and asked. "With all the resources you have, do you still need to loot your enemies?"

The practice of looting was not uncommon after a fight, but neither was it a rule. Some people didn't steal items from other cultivators, not even if the other side was already dead.

This was like an honor for some, while it was a pride for others. After all, young nobles like Abby would hardly find anything to get their eyes on in the spatial rings of people like Del and that man who was the guard's leader of this place.

Because of this and the fact that the Black Plain already collects millions of crystals monthly, Abby had found what Minos was doing a little funny.

Minos then looked at her for a moment and explained. "For me, this may be of no value, but for the citizens of the Dry City, who attend the public library, this is extremely valuable."

"In fact." Eda muttered as she nodded.

She would also do what Minos was doing. After all, there was no point leaving those items behind. The former owners were already dead, and it wasn't like Eda could have Abby's luxuries either...

"Ugh... It's true. I didn't think about it."

And after some more time, Minos finally managed to find out what was in those spatial rings. He was hoping to find decent techniques, and lucky for him, he had managed to do that.

The thing he needed most was Blue-grade techniques for the public library and Black-grade techniques for the headquarters library. With that, the soldiers and inhabitants of the Dry City could have more possibilities than they had at present.

Those two enemies had rings with the respective items: 5 Black-grade techniques on Del's ring and 2 on the Chief Guardsman's ring, plus 21 Blue-grade techniques adding those of them.

Other than that, there were about 300,000 low-grade crystals in Del's spatial ring and 23,000 in the other man's ring. 'As expected, after selling the captives at auction, that pirate had gained a lot of resources.'

There were also some pills, weapons, and spiritual array in the two men's things, but that didn't catch Minos' attention.

And just five minutes after the end of the fight, a soldier came to Minos to report what had been collected.

"Young master, of the more than 150 individuals that were killed, there were only 32 spatial rings, which had 7 techniques of Black-grade classification, 353 of Blue-grade, about 151,000 low-grade crystals..."

He continued to talk for a while longer, specifying each quantity and the respective classifications of the items found.

And after hearing that soldier's report, Minos had kept the rings and techniques collected so that these items could be distributed either at headquarters or at the public library.

As for the crystals and spiritual artifacts, the young Stuart had given them to the Sergeants to share equally, along with a few pills.

But not everything had been given to his soldiers. Minos had left ten thousand crystals and some pills to give to those women who were in this place, so they could at least live after fleeing here, at least in the short term.

Minos wasn't someone who sacrificed himself for a stranger, but he wasn't a cold person either, without any empathy. He had already destroyed this place, so it really wouldn't do them any harm to free those women, leaving some items behind with them.

Even though they were all aware at this point, some were significantly weakened, to the point that they needed help as soon as possible to avoid dying.

For this very reason, the young Stuart had reserved cure-type pills for these captives.

Anyway, after doing this basic accounting on the harvest of that attack, Minos had ordered the soldiers to clean this place, destroying all the bodies and limbs that were lying in that land.

Even though it was difficult to track them through these corpses, it was not entirely uncommon for people to hide among the dead in an attempt to escape. With this, in addition to decreasing the chances of any persecution, it also avoided unwanted survivors.

And finally, as the land began to be cleared, Minos walked to one of the open beds there, where a captive was sitting, with a leash around her neck.

Seeing this, that woman trembled in fear for a moment, covering her naked body with her arms as she stared at the ground, trying not to draw attention from that person in the black cloak, whose face was completely hidden.

Beside him were two other people dressed in the same way he was, but this captive could see that they both had very feminine bodies.

Minos and his two traveling companions stopped beside that woman on the bed when Abby asked. "You're going to release them, right?"

"It's obvious. What do you think I am?"

And after saying those words, Minos used the key he had found in that guard's leader's spatial ring from before, disarming the array that suppressed that woman's cultivation.

Clang!

Soon after, the necklace attached to that woman's neck fell on the ground, making a metallic noise sound through that area while all the other women looked at it.

"You are free. Help release these other captives." Minos said at the same time that he was handing the key to those suppression necklaces to this woman he had freed.
