At this time, Fang Xin was entering the manor.

  The first day after the battle was a time for rest and cleaning wounds, although there were few casualties, many people were injured, at this time, hot water, food, bandages were all needed.

  Although Fang Xin did not understand the specific treatment, he knew to use strong liquor for disinfection and boil the bandages in boiling water. These two measures were enough to save many lives.

  So yesterday afternoon was busy bandaging wounds and collecting spoils of war.

  The dark soldier's standard weapon and leather armor, although somewhat tattered, were still pretty good spoils of war. Fang Xin collected them directly and selected some to reward those who had made contributions.

  There are also war horses. Eleven war horses have been obtained, which is a great gain. A set of knight armor has been trampled but can still be repaired.

  At this time, James walked towards Fang Xin, his attitude now much more solemn, his voice thick and hoarse: "Knight Hannit, we have found 118 bodies and buried them all. Also, the manor has been secured, we discovered weapons and warehouses."

  "Has anyone else been questioned?"

  "We've interrogated them and gotten a lot of information about the Dark Knights."

  "Speak!" Fang Xin held his wine glass, savoring the sweet and mellow grape wine. This leisurely attitude made James have to admit that Hannit Knight really had a noble temperament.

  If it were him, even if he drank, he wouldn't have such an air and demeanor. However, why hadn't I seen him with the nobles before?

  "Hannett Knights, Earl of Bremen has a knight team of two thousand people, divided into lower knights, middle knights and high-ranking knights. Lower knights lead thirty people, middle knights lead one hundred people, and there are five high-ranking knights leading three hundred people, and also have a small castle."

  "Oh, so to speak, the first and second times I killed were both lower-ranking knights, but later on, the one I killed was a mid-ranking knight?" Fang Xin finished drinking and put the silver cup on the table. Sounds came from all around, apparently continuing the search.

  "Yes, you're right."

  "Well, although this intelligence shouldn't be a secret and the lords above should already know about it, still, I should report it to them. Let's talk about it when we get back. Is there anything else of value?"

  "We have rounded up the tenants and killed some resisters, now after counting, there are a total of 351 households, about 1,200 people, as well as a large amount of grain, 31 cattle, 25 war horses in training, and gold and silver are being counted."

  Actually, gold and silver are not very valuable now, unless they are used in tableware or jewelry. The reason is simple: the population on this plane is too small, and the economy is generally based on bartering, so James is not enthusiastic at all.

  "Not bad, how many ox carts?"

  "There are four."

  "It's too little, produce immediately, even if it's the simplest. We need to move everything out within two days and leave. This place is too deep in the dark area, and now is not the time for occupation. Our victory this time is just a fluke, if we're discovered by any dark forces, you can imagine the consequences! Although we've won, Fang Xin remains clear-headed. He immediately issues an order: 'All tenants must be taken away, we're currently short of population. Those who refuse to leave will be killed immediately, kill one to warn a hundred, do you understand?'"

  Although merits can be obtained, when doing things, they must be done according to the rules.

  "Also, divide the grain and other civilian goods into three portions. One portion is to be awarded to the meritorious soldiers, from which you can select the good ones. The upper portion is for Sir Eli Lycok, hereditary knight, and all the rest belongs to me. As for the population, it will be divided in half, with one half surrendered and the other half belonging to myself. Do you have any opinion on this?"

  "No, Sir Knight, that is only fair." James was envious but had no say in the matter because under this feudal system of warfare, knights were entitled to spoils of war, especially when leading an independent campaign. If it weren't for the fact that the army he led belonged to Ellie Ricoche and not his own, Hannet might have even gotten away with offering a tenth.

  "Anything else?"

  "Had it, Knights of Hannit. We're underground and have discovered the Dark Temple. Shall we destroy it? Unfortunately, we didn't bring a priest this time."

  "Take me to see!" Fang Xin was somewhat disdainful. In this dark and dense plane, the power of the pastor was weakened to the greatest extent, and it had almost no use at all.

  "Yes!"

  This is an underground stone chamber, with a heavy stone gate. With a dull thud of the door, it was pushed open and a line of people went down. Downstairs, someone had already lit torches, but judging from the situation, the people downstairs were very tense.

  This basement is very large. Depending on the situation, it can accommodate 1,000 people without any issues. Of course, living and accommodating are two different concepts. It can probably allow about 100 people to live here without feeling cramped at all.

  As they walked down the stairs, both people had a feeling of sinking into darkness, especially when the door closed, it seemed that all the outside world was also isolated.

  In the center stands an idol with sharp teeth and claws, sporting sheep horns and wings, looking just like a Western devil.

  At this moment, Fang Xin's keen sense detected the thick black air on the magic image, he couldn't help but frown, however, for this, he was still powerless, so he said casually: "This matter will be decided by you, James!"

  As he spoke to this point, his heart moved and a brilliant idea suddenly occurred to him. He recalled the merits of the teachings he had received when he was a model of virtue, and an idea involuntarily arose in his mind.

  James immediately gave an excited order: "Smash this demon statue for me!"

  "Yes, sir!" Immediately, soldiers came forward, using their weapons to frantically smash the magic image. Fang Xin took a step back, feeling that once the magic image was smashed, the black air would immediately erupt and wildly dance in the air, swirling around and transforming into faces filled with black air wailing in mid-air.

  Some dark energy, even directly rushed into the human body, seeped into their bodies. Fang Xian furrowed his brow, but found that only he knew, while others just felt a chill on their skin. Among them, a large amount of it actually floated into James' body.

  After it was all smashed, Fang Xin felt that the black air in the sky began to fade away. However, along with that, the wailing of those dark faces became even more tragic.

  "You all go out first and close the door." Fang Xin instructed.

  James was a bit strange, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his body, so he responded with a sound and took the soldier out.

  Fang Xing felt that there was indeed no one around him, and he began to silently recite the "Houtu Wangsheng Jing".

  At this time, the eyes of the yin god were naturally different. He recited it five times, but did not realize that white light had descended. He felt strange in his heart and recited it until fifteen times, but still did not feel the white light descending.

  This is a very strange thing. According to reason, an existence like Hou Tu should respond immediately as soon as it is mentioned in prayer, no matter where or what realm it is in.

  Fang Xin thought for a moment, and immediately added his own virtuous sacred light. With the virtuous sacred light, he spat out the classics one word at a time. Suddenly, virtue was burning rapidly, and after three recitations, the sky above suddenly lit up, as if a small hole had been poked through. A white light descended, and a faint aura appeared.

  In an instant, the black air began to dissipate. A face in the nearby empty space was illuminated by it, and as the black air disappeared, it transformed into a small white soul that rushed into the white light.

  When the first soul entered the white light, the white light suddenly shook violently, rapidly intensifying, and even without continuing to recite scriptures, it automatically intensified. In no time at all,

  The entire basement was completely different, shrouded in white light, with waves of light transmitting over like ripples. All items that had hidden black energy were purified, and dozens of souls let out cheers, rushing forward in a flurry.

  When the last soul flew in, the white light automatically retracted, but the altar had already been completely purified. The spiritual eye looked up and was filled with a faint white glow.

  Yu Ruyi's body suddenly shook violently, and the originally rapidly depleting Holy Light of Merit and Virtue instead surged up fiercely.

  Fang Xin watched with joy and found that the Jade Ruyi, which had a space of 160 parts, suddenly rose to four-fifths, which was enough to gain hundreds of merits!
