Chapter 391: Second meeting with the above (4)

"Ms. Ye Nai." The staff officer immediately returned to the awning and raised his chin slightly in that direction. "Is there anyone over there too?"

"Yes, I have."

Ye Na admitted frankly that she thought it would be better to hand over all the prisoners. She didn't want to bear the cost of their food, drink, and shelter now.

"Are there many people?" the staff officer continued to ask.

"Not many, just a few women and children from former noble families, the first batch captured." Yenne replied.

"The nobles are not put together? They are placed in several places?" The staff officer frowned, not understanding what Ye Na meant by this.

"No, the ones I saw last time were those who were caught later. I can't let them find out that there are acquaintances and then get together to cause trouble for me." Ye Na explained.

"Banding together? Are there really acquaintances?" The staff officer's eyes were immediately filled with curiosity.

"Yes, among the thousands of people I saw last time, there were the former king and queen, the former crown prince and crown princess." Ye Na said calmly, with no intention of showing off at all.

"Ah?!" The staff officers were all surprised, "You destroyed the country?"

"No, no, don't talk nonsense."

"What do you mean by 'destroyed country'?" Fan Zeyang, deputy director of the Operations Department, leaned over with a puzzled look on his face. "I heard 'destroyed country'. Is that what I mean by 'destroyed country'? A country destroyed?"

"The country has not been destroyed, Deputy Minister Fan, please don't talk nonsense. It's just that the king and his family and several key nobles were taken prisoner." Ye Na hurriedly pleaded for himself.

"What does 'key nobles' mean?" Deputy Minister Fan was very good at grasping the key points and asked immediately.

"Literally, according to the treaty they negotiated themselves, when the king's family has no heir, those key noble families will take their place." Ye Na explained patiently.

"So you caught them all in one fell swoop?" Deputy Minister Fan was very surprised and continued to ask, his tone unconsciously rising a little.

"Yeah." Ye Na nodded, her tone very matter-of-fact.

"Who has the final say in the country now?" Deputy Minister Fan continued to ask.

"I don't know. Maybe other nobles will show up." Ye Na shrugged with an indifferent expression.

Deputy Minister Fan Zeyang showed a speechless expression.

"What was the original strength of that country?" Deputy Minister Fan changed the question.

"They are very powerful. The five military forts outside Zhenlonggou belong to them." Ye Nai threw out a small clue to let them understand which country she had messed up like this.

"...Ah?!" Deputy Minister Fan and his staff were so surprised that they were speechless.

"Well, the student team from the National Defense University was also rescued in that country. We returned along their route and found the exit was outside the southern border. As for which section it was, I don't know. Ask the National Defense University." Ye Na added.

“Is that country really destroyed?”

The deputy ministers of the General Staff and Logistics Department came back to drink soy milk and happened to hear this, so they immediately interrupted out of curiosity.

"It was not destroyed. I just captured their ruler. The country is still there." Ye Na emphasized again.

"Where did they catch their king?" Deputy Minister Su of the General Staff asked curiously.

"The southern hemisphere of the blue planet."

"Wait a minute, the last time we went to another world, which country's military camp was it from?" Deputy Minister Fan thought of a question and interrupted. "It's the same."

"Oh my God..." Everyone showed shocked expressions.

"Do you know what this country is called?" someone asked curiously.

"Celsa, the United Kingdom of Celsa, that's why there are those key nobles, like original shares. The entire country is formed by these original nobles combining their respective territories." Ye Na explained slowly.

"I understand, I understand." Everyone nodded.

"Then this country is still broken." Someone else said.

"No, no, I didn't touch the remaining nobles." Yenne waved her hands quickly.

"Do you really want to move?" The man raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I don't want to move. I'm too lazy to feed them. Do you know how much food these people eat every day?"

Everyone chuckled, but no one responded.

"Take us around and make a rough count of the current number of prisoners so that we can arrange supplies for the prisoner-of-war camp when we return." said the staff officer of the logistics department.

"Oh, probably more than 10,000, less than 20,000?" Ye Na shook her head, "I didn't count."

"There are so many? Have the enemy been captured?" the staff officer asked in surprise.

"We've captured some officers and released all the soldiers. The number of them who have completed the mission is enough, and we're too lazy to kill the rest." Ye Na said calmly.

"That's good, that's good, don't be so murderous." Everyone expressed their agreement.

"How do you think we, the awakened ones, should be arranged during the post-war reconstruction?" Someone raised a new question.

"It's up to you. If you're willing to stay on Blue Star for the post-war reconstruction, just earn a salary honestly. If you don't want to, just go to another world and enjoy the fun of fighting. The sooner you die, the sooner you'll be reborn." Ye Na shrugged, his tone relaxed.

"We will also have to take over the other world by then. What if we let those murderous guys go in and cause trouble?" the man frowned deeply and asked worriedly.

"That depends on the individual. Those who commit crimes should be arrested, but if they just like adventure and excitement, then let them do whatever they want." Ye Na said nonchalantly.

"Can the natural environment of the other world withstand the adventures of our awakened people seeking excitement?" the man continued to ask.

"Of course there are. After the fusion of the two planets, everything is normal on the blue planet, but it's not peaceful over there. It is a real danger zone. Extreme weather occurs frequently, the ecosystem collapses, and geological disasters increase. There are places without volcanoes, but the land is cracked and magma flows on the flat ground. These lands have been abandoned by people from other worlds. The awakened people here who want to find excitement are recommended to go there." Ye Na suggested in detail.

This danger zone does sound scary.

Everyone was silent for a while, and then Deputy Minister Su of the General Staff asked.

"Is there a transition zone between this danger zone and normal environment?"

"Yes, but it is not stable. Extreme weather occurs frequently in the danger zone, and the transition zone will definitely be affected. At most, the intensity and frequency will be less, and the damage will not be so great, so people can barely survive. It can only be said that barely. The most common thing is that the temperature difference becomes larger, with scorching hot during the day and freezing cold at night, and the difference between the four seasons is blurred."

"Does anyone still live in that kind of place?" Deputy Minister Su asked.

"Some have, some don't. Some are migrating refugees who find a piece of land where they can barely survive and live there from day to day. They don't have to pay taxes anyway. Some transitional areas belong to noble lands, so the nobles may collect taxes." Yenne replied.

"Can the nobles still collect taxes from land in such a harsh environment?" Many people were surprised.

"Yes, land is wealth. Before it became a desperate place of death, it was the property of the nobles. Anyone who dug a piece of grass there had to pay half of the tax to the nobles. The nobles' tax collectors could even squeeze two ounces of oil out of a stone." Ye Na said he was not surprised.
