After settling the Barbarian warriors, Qin Tian had them meet the other women, elders, and children.Compared to the strict control over the warriors, Feng Mocuan was much more lenient in managing these women and children; besides the slave collars around their necks restricting their movement, there were no chains or Weakness Potions.Furthermore, Feng Mocuan also provided quite good meals; several children had even gained some weight during this period.Under his deliberate arrangement, the children were now holding clay bowls, squatting in a corner, gulping down their food, not bothering to wipe the rice grains from their faces.Several women sat by a hay bale not far away, watching their children while speaking in low voices; although there was still worry in their brows, the fear of the past was gone.The elders leaned against the wall, basking in the sun, a sense of calm in their cloudy eyes.And when the Barbarian warriors saw this scene, their tense bodies instantly relaxed, and their eyes simultaneously welled up.Luo Sai Hu, the warrior with the beast-head totem tattooed on his chest, rushed a few steps to a little boy holding a clay bowl and pulled the child into his arms.The little boy was startled at first, then recognized him and burst into tears, "Abba!"The warrior's rough hands awkwardly patted the child's back, a suppressed sob escaping his throat; the man who had faced death bravely in tribal wars now had eyes so red they looked as if they would bleed—he had thought his family had long met with misfortune, never expecting to see his child here.Several young warriors rushed towards the women who were mending, and as they embraced, the women's sobs and the warriors' comforting voices intertwined.An old man with graying hair was helped to his feet, trembling as he caressed the face of the warrior in front of him, muttering ancient Barbarian words, probably asking about their experiences during these days; the warrior shook his head repeatedly, signaling with his eyes, "All is well."Terrida stood at the edge of the crowd; he saw a familiar clan uncle being supported by a warrior, holding half a wheat cake in his hand; though his face showed the marks of hardship, his complexion was still good; he saw the naughtiest little girl in the clan waving a piece of dried meat at him, the dried meat glistening with oil, clearly just distributed.He had originally expected the women and children to suffer inhumane treatment, as in the slave trade, the old, weak, women, and children were always the least valuable goods, and merely surviving was a luxury.But the scene before him was entirely opposite—no beatings, no hunger, children could even chase and play in the open space; though collars were present, they were not stained with a trace of blood."Hoo-roo!" A warrior suddenly shouted towards Qin Tian, his voice devoid of hostility, only complex gratitude.He had just seen his wife holding warm meat soup, a food only free people could enjoy.Terrida took a deep breath, walked to Qin Tian's side, his voice filled with unprecedented solemnity: "Thank you."These two words were a hundred times more sincere than the previous "thank you."The warrior's submission might have stemmed from the fairness of the duel, but seeing his family safe now, this submission was imbued with a heartfelt allegiance.Qin Tian looked at the group of clansmen embracing and weeping, and smiled faintly.He knew that, compared to military intimidation, what truly won the hearts of these Barbarians was precisely the hot meal before them, the smiles on the children's faces, and the unextinguished vitality in the eyes of the women and children.Feng Mocuan's lenient management, seemingly benevolent, was in fact the smartest strategy—winning hearts never relied solely on fists.At this moment, Feng Mocuan stepped forward and handed over a controller: "Boss, should we also unlock the collars of these women and children?"Qin Tian nodded.With a soft click, the collars on the necks of all the women and children fell off.The children curiously picked up the collars and played with them, while the women bowed deeply towards Qin Tian, their movements clumsy but conveying the most unadorned gratitude.Terrida watched this scene, then suddenly raised his hand and thumped his chest, producing a dull sound.The surrounding warriors followed suit, and a hundred thumping sounds echoed uniformly in the open space—this was the highest Barbarian etiquette, representing allegiance sworn by blood.Qin Tian stood still, accepting this silent respect.He knew that from this moment on, these Barbarians had truly become a force he could trust.Afterward, Qin Tian tested the strength of the Barbarians.Except for Terrida, the strength of the other Barbarian warriors was almost all between Tier 2 and Tier 3; they did not possess psionic energy, but their bodies were astonishingly strong, skilled in unarmed combat and cold weapon fighting, and furthermore, the totem war patterns on their skin could add various strange buffs, further boosting their combat power.As for Terrida himself, his combat power could reach the level of an ordinary Tier 5.This result made Qin Tian very satisfied.The overall combat power of this group of Barbarians was no less than that of the initial Hurricane Mercenary Group, and more importantly, once the Superman Potion came out, the strength of the Barbarian warriors would see explosive growth.Several times, or even ten times, amplification would be no problem.Also, he had already instructed Old Nelson to buy back as many Barbarians as possible who had ended up in the slave market and send them to Silver Gray Star.After that, the Barbarian team would grow stronger and become an indispensable force in his hands.After subduing the Barbarians, Qin Tian did not rush to integrate them into the existing system; instead, he had Feng Mocuan transform the abandoned factory on the spot into a temporary residence for the Barbarians.After all, these Barbarian warriors were burly, their skin and hair color, and even their totem tattoos, were distinctly different from Imperial citizens, and coupled with the lack of legal identification and the difficulty of language communication, entering the city rashly at this moment would only cause unnecessary trouble.However, in terms of living, Qin Tian gave them the greatest possible preferential treatment.Every morning, carts of fresh meat, grains, and fruits and vegetables would be delivered punctually to the entrance of the garrison; sizzling, oily beast legs were constantly roasted over bonfires,And high-proof liquor was brewed in clay jars; elders and children could enjoy steaming hot meat soup every day, no longer having to risk their lives for a bite to eat as they did before.Qin Tian also specifically had people build a simple training ground and transport a large amount of equipment and weapons.The Barbarian warriors were already obsessed with martial arts, and now with ample food and handy tools, they spent almost the entire day in the training ground; the sounds of fists meeting flesh, weapons clashing, and earth-shattering roars intertwined, becoming the most common background sound # Nоvеlight # in the garrison.To overcome the language barrier, Qin Tian found professionals to record the Barbarian language into a translator and provided everyone with a translator; at the same time, the Barbarians also diligently learned the Imperial language at Qin Tian's request.Within a few days, the Barbarian warriors could haltingly speak simple words like "weapon," "training," and "full."In the blink of an eye, two weeks passed, and Karthus did not disappoint Qin Tian, successfully producing the first batch of Youth Potion and Superman Potion.
