1905 Dealing with the spoils of war (1)
The battle ended, and the ruins were filled with wolves.
Countless monster corpses were laid on the ground, and the air was filled with a stench. There were many places where one could not stand.
The exhausted Demon Hunter simply sat on the monster’s body, either bandaging his wounds or continuing to hunt down the remaining enemies.
With the demon nest’s leader killed, the remaining demonic servants were no longer a threat. With the Demon Hunters and the military working together, it was almost impossible to escape.
After resting for a while, the Demon Hunters began to clean up the demon nest, not letting go of any usable resources.
As Tang Zhen had directly barged into the devil nest and forced the evil demon out, the interior of the devil nest did not suffer too much damage.
The Demon Hunters ‘eyes lit up when they saw the large amount of spoils of war. They had never seen so many good things in their lives.
Any one of them could be exchanged for a large amount of wealth, enough for an ordinary person to enjoy for the rest of their life.
Although he knew that not all of these things belonged to him, it was also a happy thing to be able to personally participate in the search and transportation.
In the process of clearing The Fiend nest, the middle-aged cultivator led a group of people to supervise and do inventory checks. They were busy inside and outside.
In order to prevent people from secretly hiding their spoils of war, a strict supervision system was implemented in the process of clearing The Fiend nests.
Once they were discovered, they would be dealt with seriously. There would be no tolerance.
Although the Demon Hunters were a little disgusted by this rule and felt that it was an insult, no one raised any objections.
They knew better than anyone else what kind of people the Demon Hunters were, so it was necessary to give them an appropriate warning.
Fortunately, by the time The Fiend nest was cleared, no one had broken the rules. This allowed the middle-aged cultivator in charge of supervision to heave a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t that these demon hunters had changed their character, but with Tang Zhen’s deterrence, these demon hunters became more obedient.
He was most afraid that demon hunters would not abide by the rules in the face of benefits. In this case, he could only kill the chicken to warn the monkeys and let these demon hunters know how powerful they were.
The most embarrassing thing didn’t happen, so naturally, everyone was happy. Otherwise, it would be really unbearable to raise a butcher’s knife to a comrade who had fought alongside him.
After the battle ended, the military quickly sent transport planes to help transport the spoils of war away.
At the same time, the middle-aged cultivator sent by the government found Tang Zhen, hoping that he could sell all the spoils to the government.
The headquarters of the government was prepared to deal with the thousand-year catastrophe, so it was necessary to have sufficient material reserves to ensure war supplies.
If it was only the Demon Hunters who had to hand it over, the speed of collection would be too slow, and it would not be able to meet the huge gap at all.
Under such circumstances, Tang Zhen’s harvest from eliminating the demons immediately attracted the attention of the officials.
The harvest of clearing a fiend nest was almost equivalent to the total annual income of the official headquarters. The two consecutive transactions of spoils of war had already given the official headquarters a taste of sweetness.
They even had an idea to contract all of Tang Zhen’s harvest and only supply it to the government.
The middle-aged cultivator’s current mission was to discuss with Tang Zhen and hope that he could buy all of his spoils.
This request was a little too much. After all, Tang Zhen was not a loner. He already had a group of followers by his side.
Selling the spoils of war to his followers at a low price was a method to win over the hearts of the people. How could Tang Zhen not know about this?
Apart from this, the official exchange method also lacked attraction.
The reward that the government could provide was naturally a corresponding amount of points. However, this thing was really useless to Tang Zhen.
He was the one selling it, so how could he spend more points to buy an item from the official shop?
Going back and forth was not only troublesome, but it would also cost more points. It was far better to keep the spoils in his own hands and use them however he wanted.
The points were not of much use, and Tang Zhen similarly did not need any other items.
After two auctions, Tang Zhen would have enough money in his hands. What couldn’t he buy if he wanted to?
Therefore, the middle-aged cultivator didn’t have much confidence in the mission that the headquarters had arranged for him. If he was in Tang Zhen’s shoes, he might have directly rejected it.
No matter what Tang Zhen’s attitude was, he had to give it a try. If it really didn’t work, he would think of another method.
What surprised the middle-aged cultivator was that when he braced himself and made his request, Tang Zhen only hesitated for a moment before nodding and agreeing.
This matter was so straightforward that it was completely out of the middle-aged cultivator’s expectations. He even felt that it was unreal.
He could not understand Tang Zhen’s true thoughts. However, as long as he completed the mission entrusted to him by the headquarters, it would still be a great merit.
However, Tang Zhen also made a request. That was, before the spoils of war were handed over, the Demon Hunters that followed him must choose the spoils of war before they could sell them to the official headquarters.
The middle-aged cultivator naturally agreed to Tang Zhen’s request. At the same time, he also made a guarantee.
As long as the Demon Hunters that followed Tang Zhen to battle were to trade, they could enjoy a 20% discount. This was a benefit that only senior demon hunters would have.
Don’t underestimate this 20% discount, it could save demon hunters a lot of points, and the more points they spent, the more cost-effective it was.
After the discussion with Tang Zhen ended, the middle-aged cultivator excitedly informed the headquarters. Then, he began to preside over the distribution of the spoils of war.
After a large group of staff members quickly sorted out, all the spoils of war had been processed according to their categories and entered into the system.
Demon hunters could inquire through special equipment, and at the same time, exchange the items they got from the demon nest according to the share they received.
If the allocated quota wasn’t enough, they could add their own points, which could totally allow the Demon Hunters to arm themselves again.
Looking at the dazzling array of spoils of war, the Demon hunter’s heart was filled with excitement, and he kept picking out items that suited him.
At this moment, the Demon Hunters kept feeling that they didn’t have enough points to make themselves stronger.
They were even more clear in their hearts that as long as they continued to follow Tang Zhen and guaranteed their survival, their strength would only become stronger and stronger.
The stronger they were, the higher the share of loot they would receive. This was purely using battle to sustain battle.
In this process, the Demon Hunters had to pay with their own blood, and even their lives at the critical moment.
After a group of demon hunters had chosen their spoils, the staff members counted the remaining spoils and sent them to the official headquarters by transport plane.
“Sir Tang Zhen, are you going to continue to clear out the devil nests in the following time?”
The middle-aged cultivator looked at Tang Zhen and asked in a respectful tone as he watched the transport plane that was filled with spoils of war leave.
“Although I really want to clean up all the known demon nests in one go, the Demon Hunters can’t withstand a battle of this intensity.
Sharpening the knife would not delay the work of cutting wood. They had to rest properly to ensure that they could go all out in battle.
Thus, I’ve decided to rest for a while after leaving this place. Once everyone is ready, we’ll go and clear out the other fiend nests.”
Although the middle-aged cultivator felt a little regretful, he knew that Tang Zhen was right. Continuous battles would make people feel tired and they had to exercise restraint.
Even if Tang Zhen didn’t need it, the Demon Hunters that followed him to the battle would also need to rest.
If they were insignificant in the past, after experiencing battle after battle, these demon hunters who had gradually grown up would become the backbone of the future forces against the evil demons.
