Digesting them was actually very simple.
Because they were taken by plunder.
They had nothing, but they had gained freedom.
Roman severed the many chains that once bound them: social ties, attachments to their homeland, and personal dependencies.
These people no longer served any nobles on this land.
From now on, they only needed to follow the commands of one person.
It was like a flock of sheep being given a vast pasture; as long as they kept grazing, Roman could do whatever he pleased behind them.
Even if he thrust forcefully, in any position, even if he hammered them into the ground, there would be no resistance.
The pleasure was sheer ecstasy to the bone!
Too wonderful!
Too suitable!
Praise slavery!
Was there anything more docile than these slaves across the land?
If there was, it was only more of the same!
Roman didn't actually do much killing.
Those slaughter mandates he issued targeted only specific groups.
