Chapter 385: Contracting Villain Heroes

“If you came from the State of Jin, why did you betray your master?” Wang Yin secretly glimpsed at Ji Ye and asked Qiao Daoqing again.
“Because I’ve realized the nature of this Land of Inheritance. If you understand it as clear as I do, you will know that I didn’t betray anyone.
“In this world, every human being is their own ‘master’,” Qiao Daoqing said.
“Are you not afraid of being completely obliterated from this world?”
The three guys, who didn’t know what the Land of Inheritance meant at all, certainly couldn’t sympathize with him.
However, they knew very well what they were bound to.
“He certainly doesn’t need to worry. Because Qiao Daoqing was the first one to surrender, he was directly given one headcount,” Ji Ye said.
Qiao Daoqing behaved in such a way because he had already become a member of the Twin Dragon Island.
He turned from a villain into a native because he accepted Ji Ye’s contract!
To make the Lord of Fiends, who had been caught alive not long ago, accept the contract willingly, Gongsun Sheng had made a lot of contributions as his master.
“Only one between you get to enjoy it first. The rest of you must complete my mission in order to get the headcount.
“Now, you can choose one among yourselves!” Ji Ye looked at them and said.
There was nothing but silence.
That was understandable. Although Qiao Daoqing was here to assure them, all the three captives were the leaders of another country. How could they be convinced by Qiao Daoqing so easily?
Besides, it was even possible that Qiao Daoqing was under someone else’s control or even impersonated by someone from the Twin Dragon Island.
They feared that if they accepted Ji Ye’s “contract”, they would end up as a “puppet” like Qiao Daoqing.
However, after a moment of silence, one of the three people stood out and accepted Ji Ye’s contract.
“Let me do it.
“Now that I’ve been caught by you, my life is no longer mine. I’m interested in finding the nature of this world…”
The man turned out to be Deng Yuanjue, the Golden Light Buddha!
He was very similar to Lu Zhishen in terms of appearance, personality, and weapon. In fact, he kept an open-minded expression with the choice.
“You should feel lucky about your decision,” said Ji Ye mysteriously.
The contracting talent that he acquired from the seed player among the Eagle Men was only Extraordinary. It was certainly a great bargain to contract an Extraordinary Rank-8 Superior warrior!
However, the talent could only be used five times.
He used the first chance on contracting the blood tree, the second one on the Golden Condor Leader, and the third one on Qiao Daoqing.
At this moment, Deng Yuanjue successfully seized the last chance.
The last chance?
Shouldn’t there be a fifth chance?
No, because Ji Ye never intended to use the last chance of the contracting talent.
His Fusion talent hadn’t cooled down yet!
“Gongjin, those three people will be under your command.
“After nightfall, you’ll carry the two thousand surrendered soldiers and command them to battle.”
After taking care of the three generals from Fang La’s army, Ji Ye said to Zhou Yu, who was the commander of the navy, in the command channel.
He went through so much trouble and even used two chances of contracting not just for a few Extraordinary warriors.
Getting to the bottom of it, for the Twin Dragon Island, which had five Extraordinary Rank-9 heroes, including Lin Chong who had just arrived, and Zhou Yu, Zhao Yun, and Li Yuanba who were as good as Rank-9 warriors, as well as four unknown Extraordinary Rank-8 commanders who only had limited potential, this wasn’t very significant in increasing the combat ability of the army.
However, they were very significant on the tactical and strategic levels.
For example, a lot of Tian Hu’s men were captured in the battle just like Qiao Daoqing. Qiao Daoqing could totally ask those people to surrender. With his reputation and position as the No.2 figure on Tian Hu’s side, he could influence a lot of people.
Deng Yuanjue and the other two captives were quite useful too.
After learning that Fang La and a lot of officials were either killed or captured, about two thousand of Fang La’s soldiers dropped their weapons and surrendered.
The Twin Dragon Island didn’t kill the soldiers who surrendered, unlike what Lord Wu’an, who was probably also a Legend on the Land of Inheritance, did to the soldiers who surrendered to him.
It was because two thousand soldiers were very intimidating to the enemy forces even if they were to do nothing and just stand there.
If their old commanders took them to the critical locations on the battlefield on the Iron Armored Warships and Mirage Dragon Warship, with the Twin Dragon Island’s advantage on the water, the odds of winning would be greatly increased.
However, would they attempt to take over the boats and rebel after boarding the warships?
That was a possibility, but Ji Ye wasn’t too worried about it.
It was because half of the two thousand soldiers were poisoned. Also, the poison was not regular but one that would affect the soul.
It came from the compensation of the short black-robed guy who came to the Hundred Flowers Valley for provocation on the Battlefield of Providence!
[Viral Staff]
[Level: Special]
[Rarity: Excellent]
[Description: This is a staff made by a Transcendent lich that can infect a creature’s soul with a powerful virus. That lich once created a scourge with the staff.]
The staff was so powerful that it would have destroyed a whole army if its capacity weren’t limited to a thousand people.
Of course, although only half of the soldiers contracted the virus, the other half did not dare to move recklessly at all, because they didn’t know if they were infected.
In particular, after they witnessed a Holy Fire believer, who hid his identity and charged at Ji Ye hoping for a self-detonation when his weapon was confiscated, decay at a visible speed with black smoke popping up from his body and turn from the brightest saint into the most dreadful ghost, most of the soldiers would probably just sit and watch even if Wang Yin and Shi Bao were to encourage them to revolt.
After being contracted by Ji Ye, Deng Yuanjue, who had got a full understanding of what happened, would certainly not rebel at all!
