Not only Wang Qizhen, but all the disciples of the Golden Immortal Sect near the big river basin saw these shrimp and crab monsters. They were all shocked at first, and then turned into astonishment when they reacted.
They knew about the Dragon Prince Ao Mogang. The eldest senior brother said that he would help the sect to deal with the evil.
These shrimp soldiers and crab generals are non-hostile. Not only do they not target humans, they also seem to have the ability to identify and recognize the disciples of the Golden Immortal Sect, and they are very obedient!
It was probably the one Ao Mogang sent.
"Come on, come on! Hurry up if you want to cross the river. Just make a raft. It won't sink."
On the shore, Wang Qi was gathering those who wanted to cross the river and ordered them to push the raft into the river. The shrimp soldiers below naturally used their pincers to restrain the raft and keep it steady.
If it’s useful, you’ll use it naturally.
It is a good thing that senior brother opened this river. Moreover, the river is not in the center of Nanping Kingdom, but flows from north to southwest, along the border with Dayan and then into the sea, separating it from Dayan as a whole.
But there are always omissions. There are still some mortals on the other side of the river. The city occupied by Wang Qizhen is close to the river. He originally wanted to find the evil way, and then started to build a sturdy raft in the city, but encountered these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, so there was no need for it to be so sturdy.
Just start them up and let these things go to the bottom of the river. Just make a raft and send them over without paddling.
Not only that, these shrimp soldiers and crabs came at the perfect time.
When Wang Qizhen entered the city, it had already been destroyed beyond recognition. The evil sect of the Soundless Sect had gone mad long ago, making the place a mess and giving rise to a large number of mortal crimes.
The one hundred defenders they brought were unable to capture all the people in the city, and only about two hundred of them were able to barely maintain order in the city. Wang Qizhen even left behind a team of imperial guards to maintain order.
It is necessary to suppress them. The Shengwu Sect has been too cruel. Why did Wang Qizhen want to chase after those evil sects? He didn't want to give up even if they were destroyed by Guangyu.
Apart from wanting to feel good about themselves, the main reason is that what those people do is not human.
Before Wang Qizhen arrived, those evil sects sealed the city gates and destroyed half of the buildings in the city. Half of the city's hundreds of thousands of people were immediately left homeless.
After that, they robbed people of their food and money every day, forcing people to have nothing left. In order to survive, they had no choice but to take risks and rob other people.
The only difficulty throughout the ages is death. These mortals are not alone. The people of the Sound and Silent Sect are very smart. They want to practice spirit and cultivate their minds, not let people die.
These mortals who were harmed basically had families with them, and they were left alive. For the sake of their parents, wives and children, they had to stay alive, which led to chaos in the city.
When Wang Qizhen and the others came in, even though there were no demons or monsters, just by looking at the people, he felt that they were a den of ghosts on earth.
Half of the city was starving and the ground was covered with corpses. Those houses and buildings that were not destroyed by the Silent Door were demolished by mortals themselves, who robbed and killed the owners and obtained supplies.
Those who were lucky enough to survive re-entered the chaos, were quickly assimilated, and began to think of ways to do harm to others in order to survive.
People's hearts have been corrupted and it is impossible for them to change for the better all of a sudden. It is difficult for the Imperial Guards and the Hundred Guards to maintain order. Even if there is adequate propaganda, it will not work.
They didn't bring much food, and all the logistics brought by the hundred defenders were distributed. It was a drop in the bucket for the city, not to mention rebuilding the city. It was good enough to ensure that they didn't starve to death.
It also takes a lot of time and energy to distinguish which mortals are really taking advantage of the situation and which mortals are forced to do so.
Wang Qizhen could let it go even if it was stealing a gun and cheating. Even if he really killed a few people, as long as the impact was not serious and it was not intentional, it would be fine.
But once people’s hearts are evil, this incident will be a bad precedent, and those who really take advantage of the chaos to cause trouble must be killed.
As for rebuilding the city, it is really impossible at the moment. It is enough for these mortals to settle down for now. They don’t even accept the tokens from the Golden Immortal Sect with sincerity. They just throw them away after they are given, not to mention recruiting.
Wang Qizhen was originally worried. He was afraid that the second and fourth brothers would be working in full swing, but when he ran over, he saw that they were still standing still. This was embarrassing, but it didn't matter. The key was what the eldest brother thought.
These shrimp soldiers and crabs will arrive at the right time. Not only can they help mortals cross the river, but they can also catch fish and shrimp from the river. Although they are also aquatic creatures, they don't seem to be opposed to catching fish and shrimp, which solves the food crisis.
In addition, it is also good at moving things. This strange thing entered the city, stirring up sand and stones and moving wood, which surprised mortals.
There is enough food, although it is just fish and shrimp, but at least they are full. These strange monsters seem to be under the management of the Golden Immortal Sect, who are here to help them rebuild their homes.
Seems like a good person.
Gradually, the mortals began to let down their guard. Some of them took the initiative to contact the hundred defenders who maintained order, asked for a token, and joined the Golden Immortal Sect to accept its orders.
Within just two or three days, more and more mortals came to claim the token.
"Ah? What?"
In a relatively large mansion, Wang Qi was sitting in the hall with his horse and sword, looking with some surprise at the hundred defenders who came forward to report the news.
On his left and right, there were two rows of shrimp soldiers guarding.
This thing can understand human language, but its intelligence is indeed not very high. It is definitely not as useful as humans, but it can be used to guard the house.
While Wang Qi was in this city, he took two rows to support the occasion and also to help with cooking.
I thought things were gradually getting back on track, but Wang Qizhen was surprised this time.
"Master, they said they can make everyone in the city accept our token, but they have a small request, which is to let them manage the city."
The Hundred Guards repeated, "Their tone was very humble and their attitude was very sincere. They said that if they were allowed to manage the city, they would guarantee that mortals could not make trouble, and they would provide whatever they wanted."
"no."
Wang Qizheng waved his hand and said, "Hasn't the Imperial Guard been promoting this all along? How come there are still people like this? Also, how can they be sure of this?"
"I don't know. I wanted to catch one, but they ran very fast. They seemed quite good."
The hundred defenders were somewhat magical, having taken the antidote to the mid-grade elixir and undergoing certain training, and the weapons in their hands were discarded by the imperial guards. It was impossible for ordinary mortals to escape.
But that man was able to escape.
"The mortal forces that used to obey the orders of the Voiceless Sect?"
Wang Qi was stroking his chin and sneered, "Great! I was looking for them and they showed up. That's great. I was saying that so many measures have been taken recently, the river is almost emptied, and the houses have been built, but why haven't the mortals returned yet? I wonder if anyone is watching over it after all this time."
Wang Qizhen had encountered this kind of people before. When he first entered Baishou City, there were such idiots who thought they were the same as ordinary sects.
"My eldest brother said that we are on the right path, not the wrong path, and we don't want compradors! Although I don't know what a comprador is, that's what he meant."
"The Golden Immortal Sect does not need offerings from mortals. Although this token is compulsory, it has nothing to do with me. It does not depend on cultivation. Just distribute it and don't worry about anything else. As for those who are in charge of the city, go and find the people. Don't leave any alive. Kill them all!"
When you encounter such mortals, just kill them directly. This is the simplest and most convenient way to avoid bad luck.
