In the end, all the remaining 3,000 plus prisoners were brought in. This time Chu You did not commence an outright slaughter, rather he has them gather all the wood and ore together.
Retaining them had its uses. Chu You announced that the food team members should all come in and prepare food for the prisoners.
These prisoners had no idea about the fate of their compeers. Though they were somewhat anxious and scared, they didn't lose control. Even if they did, it would be to no avail.
Chu You and Long Yue'er then went into the inner city and hired a construction crew for 150,000 Gold Coins to build a shipyard. They also went to the Rune Master Guild and hired several Rune Masters demanding them to follow the building progress. They had to be ready to print rune patterns at any time in order to connect with the rune core in the center of the Eastern Fortress. Of course, this cost Chu You another 500,000 Gold Coins.
