You were driven out of the capital at the start, and you ask me why I rebelled?

Chapter 265 Killing innocent people to claim credit, 3 slaves

"Cao Zhengchun!"

"The old slave is here!"

Upon hearing Ying Chen's call, Cao Zhengchun quickly responded.

"Pass down the order to richly reward those demons who have rendered meritorious service, and to publicize their deeds widely!"

Ying Chen said in a deep voice.

“Yes!” Cao Zhengchun replied respectfully.

Before long, the demons who had made contributions were rewarded by the Qin Dynasty and were also awarded identity tokens symbolizing second-class citizens.

The second to fourth levels of the demon race each have their own exclusive tokens.

This was to prevent demons from taking advantage of the chaos and attempting to change their social class.

Upon receiving the second-level token, the demons burst into tears of joy.

This means that they will no longer be those lowly demons.

They were, however, citizens of the second rank of the Qin Dynasty.

They secretly resolved to make those lowly demon races who dared to oppose the imperial dynasty's policies pay a bloody price.

Their deeds spread throughout the Qin Dynasty.

The ordinary demons were filled with envy when they heard the news, and wished they could take their place.

However, when this news reached the ears of the demon race who rebelled against the hierarchical system, it made them extremely angry.

"Damn it, have they forgotten who they are?"

"So easily they became Qin's dogs?"

"They are utterly disgraced as demons. How can they face their own bloodline?"

"They are a disgrace to the demon race!"

Countless powerful demons roared angrily.

The betrayal by their own people made them feel even more desperate than facing the Qin Dynasty.

At this point, they no longer wanted to oppose the hierarchical system.

But it was too late. Even if they surrendered now, they would only become fourth-level beings.

They couldn't even reach the third level.

This forced them to continue their resistance.

As for leaving Qin...

Where could they go after leaving the Qin Dynasty?

The entire Xuanxing Domain was occupied by the Great Qin and the Huangfu Dynasty. The Huangfu Dynasty's crackdown on the demon race was even more intense than that of the Great Qin.

They were probably captured and enslaved as soon as they entered the Huangfu Emperor's court.

In comparison, it's better to stay in Qin.

Although the Qin Dynasty was equally dangerous, one never knew when they might lose their life.

However, even if the demon race dies, they will never be slaves.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Dichao encountered the same thing as the Qin Dynasty.

However, unlike the Qin Dynasty, the Huangfu Dynasty did not issue any policies, but instead directly dispatched a large army to carry out a bloody suppression.

Even some ordinary demons were captured and enslaved.

Inside the palace of Emperor Huangfu.

Huangfu Sixuan listened to a report from a general below.

"Your Majesty, since the suppression of the rebellion began, our army has annihilated over five million rebels and captured thirty million slaves. The number of slaves is now simply too enormous; guarding them would tie down a large portion of our military strength..."

"What should be done with these slaves?"

The general asked respectfully.

Huangfu Sixuan frowned slightly: "How can there be so many slaves?"

"this......"

The general stammered and couldn't answer.

Huangfu Sixuan was furious; she knew exactly what had happened without even thinking.

It's certain that some soldiers captured ordinary demons who weren't involved in the rebellion in order to claim rewards.

After learning about the Qin Dynasty's military merit system, he felt that the system was excellent and could greatly boost the morale of the army.

Therefore, the system was modified and applied to the army of Emperor Huangfu's dynasty.

This system is indeed very good; the fighting capacity of Emperor Huangfu's army has indeed improved.

However, a large number of people killed innocent people to claim credit for their crimes in order to obtain more rewards.

Otherwise, how could a small conflict between humans and demons have escalated into the current suppression of a rebellion?

Someone must have acted recklessly, making it impossible for those demons to survive.

"Hmph! I don't care what you did before, but if I find out in the future that you dare to kill innocent people and claim credit for them, I will not let you off lightly!"

Huangfu Sixuan snorted coldly.

The general was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, this humble general will strictly discipline his men!"

Beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He knew about the army killing innocent people and claiming credit for their crimes, but he didn't think it was a big deal.

He believed that those demons were their enemies to begin with, and regardless of whether they had participated in the rebellion, killing them was no big deal.

It also allows the brothers to earn more battle merits, so why not?

But I never expected the Emperor to be angry about this. When I get back, I must strictly discipline those brats under my command, and make sure they never again do something like killing innocent people and claiming credit for their crimes.

Judging from the Emperor's expression, he is truly angry.

"Go down!"

Huangfu Sixuan waved her hand and said.

"Here!"

The general bowed respectfully and then left the hall.

"Xuemei!"

After the general left, Huangfu Sixuan summoned Xuemei.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Xuemei walked in and said respectfully.

"I intend to establish an oversight department specifically responsible for verifying the authenticity of the army's battle achievements. I plan to appoint you to head this department. What do you think?"

Huangfu Sixuan asked.

"This humble general will obey Your Majesty's orders!"

Xuemei had no objection and spoke directly.

"it is good!"

"I will transfer three thousand men from the Heavenly Dragon Knights to form your core team. You must establish this department as quickly as possible!"

Huangfu Sixuan nodded and said.

"This humble general will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

Xuemei said respectfully.

"By the way, what do you think should be done with those slaves?"

Thinking of those thirty million slaves, Huangfu Sixuan felt a headache coming on and looked at Xuemei to ask.

Xuemei was also somewhat troubled.

That's not just ten or twenty thousand slaves, but a full thirty million. If this isn't handled properly, it will definitely be a disaster.

"Your Majesty, why not have those slaves build new cities for my Huangfu Dynasty, and promise them that once they complete the tasks we assign them, they will be freed?"

Xuemei thought for a long time before coming up with this idea.

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Sixuan's eyes lit up. She nodded and said, "This method is excellent. It can both build cities for our Huangfu Dynasty and solve the problem of slaves. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone..."

"Very well, this matter will be handled by you as well. I will have my court officials cooperate with you..."

Huangfu Sixuan also entrusted this matter to Xuemei, believing that Xuemei would be able to handle it well.

"Here!"

Xuemei responded respectfully.
