Chapter 639: Chapter 634: Muria’s “Mercy Chapter 639: Chapter 634: Muria’s “Mercy “How soon can you repay this? Did you gain control of a whole world?” Irvicester asked, even though his question was speculative, his tone was certain.

Hearing the Blazing Sky God Descendant’s words, Silver Dragon Queen Alfa Xasiel, who was standing nearby, looked at Muria with bright, excited eyes. This descendant of the Dragon King was beyond wealthy, he controlled an entire world!

“More or less,” Muria touched his nose. He had no intention of telling his disapproving uncle-in-law about the extent of his control over resources, especially with the watchful eyes of a group of Silver Dragons nearby, their eyes beginning to gleam with greed.

“Your majesty, how should we deal with the Frost Giants who surrendered?” As Muria discussed with the Blazing Sky God Descendant’s siblings and the dragons, Frost Fang, the Frost Giant leader, braved the immense pressure and approached Muria, hunching over respectfully and asking.

“Just treat them how we normally treat prisoners of war,” he replied.

“But…”

“Let it be. I didn’t come for the sake of slaughter,” Muria waved his hand dismissively. Slaughter was simply a means to achieve a goal, he despised killing for the sake of it.

When dealing with powerful enemies, Muria’s favorite method was to defeat them, remove their fighting power, then seal them away to be used as bio-energy.

This was the best way to deal with enemies, sucking out all their value. Using their own lives to power the enemy, providing energy until the moment of their death. This was a double blow, mentally and physically.

“Yes, your majesty!”

“You’re quite merciful! But they’re just Frost Giants after all, just wipe them all out,” Irvicester retorted coldly. In this world, there was no so-called equality for all beings.

Muria guessed that Irvicester’s view of Frost Giants was similar to how humans saw the Kobold Goblins: it wouldn’t matter at all if they all died. In fact, it would be celebrated.

“Meaningless slaughter,” Muria shook his head. “In contrast, I would rather spend some time and negligible resources to tame them all. Not only that, I want the outstanding descendants among them to willingly charge into battle for me.”

“You’re really…” Upon hearing what Muria said, Irvicester couldn’t help but shake his head. “I take back what I’ve just said. You’re even crueler than I imagined. Your apparently gentle methods have, in reality, squeezed out all of their value.”

…

“Look, can you see what I’m wearing?” A fully armed Frost Giant boasted in front of a group of barbaric, kneeling Frost Giants. He proudly smacked his heavy armor, producing a clanging sound.

“Metal armor,” the kneeling Frost Giants replied, their eyes filled with resentment. They saw that their fellow tribesman was no different from them, but once he put on the armor, they weren’t a match for him. He could even take on five of them alone.

If these despicable traitors didn’t have such excellent equipment, they would have won this war long ago. An army of one hundred thousand rushing against thirty thousand, no matter the battle formation, surely triumph was theirs due to their overwhelming advantage of Gold Rank and above combatants, as this wasn’t something a formation could level the playing field for.

“Do you know why you still resist?” Seeing the barbaric Frost Giants’ eyes, the armored Giant couldn’t help but give him a harsh kick. Because of these guys, some of his friends died in this war, and some were left with only pieces of their bodies, although being alive meant they could still regenerate.

The armored Giant’s forceful kick sent the kneeling Frost Giant stumbling to the ground. Just as the barbaric Frost Giant was about to explode with anger, a floating warship patrolling in the sky silently pointed its cannon at him.

“What? You want to resist?”

“You want to wipe out our tribes under the leadership of the Titan, of course we have to resist,” a barbaric Frost Giant said, his eyes filled with humiliation and rage.

“Exterminate? Who told you that? Nonsense. His majesty is so merciful; he would never do such a thing.”

“Our leaders and the priests told us. Isn’t it?” A barbaric Frost Giant felt something was wrong.

“Damn them.” The armored Frost Giants roared angrily.

In this war, although Muria’s side did obtain a glorious victory, the Frost Giant Legion paid a heavy price. Over three thousand Frost Giants were killed, nearly ten thousand heavily wounded, and even more suffered light injuries.

“We never intended to annihilate you. Prince Mureya just wanted to conquer you, to make you obey him,” a taller blue-skinned Giant explained as he walked over, shaking the ground. He pointed at his armor.

“Look at us. We were just like you, wild and uncivilized, but as long as you obey the prince’s commands, you could become like us. You’ll no longer starve; your progeny will receive better education, your children will be even better than you …”

With some beings intentionally guiding them, the armored Frost Giants described the lives they had lived before, as well as the conditions of their wives and children, to the surrendering Frost Giants.

Hearing the Frost Giants’ descriptions, the barbaric Frost Giants looked at each other. They found that they seemed to have been deceived by their leaders and the gods they worshipped.

The Frost Giant tribes opposed each other and were not on good terms, but they were not isolated entities. There was still some trade between them. Sometimes they would even band together to attack human nations. Many strong and outstanding Frost Giants knew each other.

Just as they said, the life that these armored Frost Giants led before was known to all. Now that they had followed the Titan, they were living such good lives. If that’s the case, then who would still resist?

No one would refuse to have a better life, to possess stronger armor and sharper weapons, and to have outstanding descendants.

“Can we really live the life you guys are living?” One of the Frost Giants, who was already tempted, couldn’t help asking, “We did kill so many of you.”

“His majesty has ordered that you will not be in danger of your lives,” a sixty-meter-tall Frost Giant walked over, his body surrounded by visible cold air. Such a height represented absolute power. Even the excellent Frost Giants had to bow their heads in reverence. This was a legendary Frost Giant; ordinary Frost Giants had to offer all their respect.

“But if you now want to live lives like us, that’s impossible. You have to pay for the mistakes you made.”

“What kind of price do we have to pay?” A Frost Giant asked with an uncertain gaze. As long as they could stay alive, nothing else mattered. Giants living in the wasteland were always ready to take risks.

“Those of you who participated in this war will be subjected to hard labor according to your crimes. However, your wives and children are innocent; they can live lives like ours.”
