The elite Golden King Tiger Guard, the elite of the Nexiodin's Empire, has been completely withdrawn at this moment, wandering around the retreating tribes.

If the Broken Blood Rider attacks, it will inevitably eat a wave of toughness.

In normal times, the Broken Blood Rider is definitely not afraid to fight tough battles, even if it is known as the Golden King Tiger Guard established to deal with them.

But after months of continuous fighting, they are sleepy and tired, so they don't need to find this uncomfortable.

Although the Golden King Tiger Guard has been roaming around the battlefield, it exists as a supervising or threatening force, and has not been involved in a bloody battle from beginning to end.

When the Western Odin Empire has sufficient manpower, how can it be willing to put its elite into this kind of siege attrition.

According to incomplete statistics after the war, the Western Odin Empire's all-out offensive killed more than 150,000 people in total, and the wounded are not among them, according to the current medical conditions of the Western Odin Empire, there will be tens of thousands of people, who died one after another on the retreat because of injuries and diseases.

This figure sounds rather terrifying, but in fact, the impact on the West Odin Empire as a whole is not particularly large.

Because of these 150,000, nearly two-thirds were driven out of the East Odin Empire herdsmen.

Even if this kind of person is of the same race, in the eyes of the rulers of the Theodin Empire, he does not belong to people, but just a group of walking wealth.

Even if they didn't crash into the broken vein defense line, many of them would not survive the retreat of the army to the Miracle Peninsula on the way back to the Miracle Peninsula.

The Odin orcs who were scattered by the broken blood horse and driven back to the grassland are estimated to have this number.

Most of them will re-attach themselves to various tribes, large and small, and become part of the West Odin Empire again, and they will be a potential source of troops when the West Odin Empire invades the south next time.

This bloody battle is not beneficial to the Western Odin Empire at all, that is, it uses blood and fire to quench those miscellaneous cannon fodder.

A large number of warriors have poured out of it, and they will be sucked into the ruling class of the Western Odin Empire, preparing for the future devouring of the entire Odin steppe.

On the side of the Broken Pulse Defense Line, a total of more than 12,000 people were killed in battle, more than 10,000 wounded, more than 40,000 barrels of black powder barrels were consumed, more than 20000 arrows of various types, and more than 20 fortresses were damaged to varying degrees.

It can be seen from this that the Western Odin Empire has brought much pressure to the Broken Pulse Defense Line this time.

If it weren't for the new weapons produced by the Eternal Night Army, the tide of troops swept up by Ulan Bari this time might directly trample the entire Ashane Continent to a pulp and take the opportunity to dominate the world.

It is never a wonderful thing to make the nomads powerful.

What they bring to the whole world is always conquest and killing.

At least for a short time.

This is destined by their heritage, they are nomads, they have a desire to conquer in their bones, and what they are best at is herding.

At that time, the objects of their grazing have changed from cattle and sheep to human beings.

Although the war is over, there is still a series of follow-up work to be done in the Broken Blood Fortress.

The corpses up and down the line need to be disposed of, whether it is the Broken Vein Soldier or the Odin Orc, this is the first job, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, if they are not burned and buried as soon as possible, once the plague is raging, it will sweep the entire Broken Vein Defense Line.

Wait for the next time the Odin orcs come to attack, and they can still go up to the city wall to defend, I don't know how many will be left.

It is obviously too late to burn them all, and most of them are digging corpse pits and directly burying them on a large scale.

Then there is the treatment of the wounded and the repair of the city.

As for the resumption of border trade, don't think about it for a while.

After learning that the small tribes at the border were trading heavily with the Byron Alliance, Ulaanbari was furious.

Those small tribes and ordinary herdsmen, who did not know about this windfall in border trade, how could he, as the ruler of the Theodine Empire, not know?

The Broken Pulse Defense Line can be redressed on a large scale in a short period of time, and the border trade has played an important role.

He had previously made an expedition to the East Odin Empire, and had no time to take care of it.

Now it's time to take time out and naturally large-scale rectification.

First, a draconian decree was issued, strictly prohibiting the Odin orc herdsmen from trading with the Byrons without permission.

Second, the elite was mobilized and several border patrol units were set up to prevent these herdsmen from disobeying his orders.

Although this approach treats the symptoms but not the root cause, there is no way to eliminate the needs of those Odin orcs for various living materials.

However, it will be impossible for the border trade to be unscrupulously unfolded as before and to make huge profits.

Archduke Cedric had already tasted the sweetness of trade, and it was obvious that he could not bear to restore him to the way he had seen the faces and moods of those lords and nobles.

The border trade has shrunk temporarily, but the internal market of the Byron Union is booming.

After all, it was not only the Broken Blood Castle that tasted the sweetness, but also those merchants.

During the battle between the Broken Pulse Line and the Orcs of Odin, they were not idle.

Part of it turned to the internal market of the Tubyron Union.

Some of them continued to run towards the Broken Pulse Defense Line, transporting various military supplies to support the front-line war.

Most of these supplies are half-sold and half-given away to obtain the right of first refusal.

Priority purchase of a special product produced during the war - Odin Orc Captives.

Although the Byron Union abolished slavery decades ago.

However, this is only for the Byronians themselves, not for the Orcs of Odin.

Serfdom is not uncommon in some remote estates.

Because of the abolition of slavery, they lost the source of serfs, and there was a large shortage, and now they have such a good opportunity, so they naturally eat it blatantly.

In this respect, the slave owners of the Carthusian army will always be the biggest buyers.

As the commercial market within the Byron League became prosperous, the bandits who wanted to get something for nothing became active.

In turn, it stimulated the demand for mercenaries among those merchants.

During the trial operation last year, the retired soldiers from the Broken Blood Fort had already established a good reputation in this industry.

This time, Archduke Cedric even transferred his newly established private military staff officers to carry out semi-official operations.

When the time comes, it will not be strange to hire a real Broken Blood Rider from inside.

As a result of the formalization of the mercenary industry, it was not simply businessmen who began to hire them.

Some local lords and nobles also began to pay to hire them to carry out some anti-bandit tasks.

It was not only the merchants who tasted the sweetness of trade, but also the lords of these places.

In addition to geographical conditions, a good public security environment is also an excellent condition to attract businessmen.

Compared with personally sending people to suppress bandits, it is far less trouble-free than hiring a regular army from the Broken Pulse Defense Line, which is safe and efficient.

For these bandit suppression tasks, the Broken Blood Fort usually attaches great importance to it, not only sending elite soldiers, but also asking for a very high price.

The reason why the Broken Blood Ciep did this was not because they saw themselves as messengers of justice to maintain the peace of the Alliance, but because they found other interests in it.

Compared to the mercenary money, if you can directly destroy these bandits' lair, you can still scavenge a lot of loot from them, and this will go directly into their pockets.

Even if the bandits themselves didn't hoard any wealth, if they were captured alive, it would be a fortune for the Broken Blood Fortress.

Their troop availability has always been a big problem, especially in this kind of super-large battle, after a large number of casualties, a large number of soldiers are urgently needed.

In the past, they had passively waited for other lords and nobles to send them to their side.

This time they took the opportunity to capture it themselves.

Of course, out of respect for the local lords and nobles, these bandits are usually put on trial in their hands first.

If the crime is serious, it will be directly sent to the border and escorted away by a mercenary from the Broken Blood Castle.

If the culpability is light, it will be handed over to the local lords and nobles, except for the mercenary money, which will be further added.

Then again, it was worth the money of those local lords and nobles to hire regular soldiers from the Broken Blood Castle.

Most of them are extremely vicious, and the Broken Blood Castle is willing to accept them, and most of the local lords and nobles do not mind, and even welcome them.

Otherwise, most of them will be put on the gallows.

Spend money on a corpse so they won't do this kind of loss-making business.

All of a sudden, the mercenary industry in the Broken Blood Castle was booming.

The big and small bandits of the Byron Alliance are in danger one by one.

Either wash your hands in a golden basin, and become an honest obedient citizen incognito, and never dare to take the lead easily.

Or go far away, such as joining the piracy of the Cummins family, a place where the hand of the broken blood fortress cannot reach.

Either you just pack it up and go straight to the Broken Blood Castle.

Anyway, sooner or later, you won't be able to escape Rong Bian's life, rather than being caught, it is better to defect yourself, and then you can get some good treatment.

The bandits who were forcibly captured, I heard that the first few years were not very good, and not only had to undergo the most arduous training, but also carried out the most dangerous missions, in order to wear away the banditry from them and transform them into real soldiers.

The battle that just took place on the Broken Pulse Defense Line has not happened in a hundred years.

But within the Byron Alliance, the impact on a short period of time was still relatively limited, as the Streich family repelled the invading enemy.

When the line of defense is broken, the world will be shaken.

This is a very ironic thing.

What really caught the eye this year is that Prince Laurie of the Lancelot royal family turned eighteen and officially took over the throne.

Princess Regent, Sophielia, who has been regent for nearly seventeen years, has officially resigned as Princess Regent.

The lords and nobles of the entire Byron Alliance went to Valesta, the royal capital, to prepare for this unprecedented event.

Earl Sean, the supreme ruler of the Eternal Night Army, was no exception, and on the eve of Prince Laurie's accession to the throne, he personally led a fleet of merchant ships to Valesta, the royal capital, which was three times larger than the first time.

Because Sean went to Valesta this time, he had another task - to marry Princess Sophia.

Although this matter is a certainty, the process that should be followed must still be followed.

It's a matter of the royal family and Princess Sophia's own face.

Of course, the result of this is to further confirm Sean's name as an upstart.

It's just that the fleet led by the Eternal Night Army was stopped at a stretch of the river fifty kilometers away from the royal capital Valesta.

"We are the fleet of the Eternal Night Army, ready to go to the royal capital to pay homage to Her Royal Highness Laurie's enthronement gift, which is a pass issued by Her Royal Highness the Princess. "Field Marshal Woody personally intervened.

The Eternal Night Commander's dispatch this time is not only luxuriously equipped, but also not low-grade.

The flotilla was personally led by the supreme commander of the Shuangjiang Naval Army.

On the side of the lord's guard, Field Marshal Herbert, who was the deputy commander of the Fourth Army, led the team.

"I'm sorry, Her Royal Highness the princess, has been a week ago, officially resigned from the position of regent, the relevant documents issued by him, have become invalid, the security of the royal capital, by our royal army to take over, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the enthronement ceremony, all large fleets, will not be allowed to approach the royal capital fifty kilometers. "The commander of the fleet who stopped the fleet of the Eternal Night Army was neither humble nor silent, and had no intention of letting it go.

"Can we be accommodating? You see, we're all merchant ships, and we only have two warships, and we're still full of cargo. Marshal Woody smiled, more like a philistine merchant than a soldier.

The Shuangjiang Navy basically has no combat missions now, and most of the time it is escorting the merchant ships led by the Eternal Night Army, keeping the river unobstructed, and Woody is naturally very familiar with many doorways inside.

"No, we have been ordered not to allow the passage of more than three large consignments, let alone the waters near the royal capital. The commander of the fleet of the royal army replied expressionlessly, looking like he was doing business.

"Woody, don't be embarrassed for this brother, split the goods on the ship, if you can use a small boat, you can use a small boat, and if you can't use a small boat, go to the nearest port, and transport it by land, it must be reasonable and legal. Sean, who was traveling with the team, took the initiative to come forward.

"Yes, my lord. Marshal Woody bowed and said.

Wait until you send the commander of the Royalist fleet named Nelson away.

Marshal Woody asked with some confusion: "Lord Lord knows that the other party is deliberately trying to make things difficult for us, why do you still follow their wishes?"

Although the Jacob River has become more and more prosperous in recent years, a large number of merchant ships of all kinds will be launched every year, and it is no longer the situation where the tripartite alliance was dominant.

But when it comes to large fleets, there are still few forces that can match the leaders of the Eternal Night.

They set up a card here to intercept them, obviously coming for these families.

"Valesta is going to change, this will be the norm in the future, just get used to it. Sean said meaningfully, "It's not for us, we're just incidental." ”

Marshal Woody wasn't without political eyes at all, and when he heard Sean's words, he said thoughtfully: "Are they guarding against the princess's fleet, and her related allies?"

"Rights are such a thing as a thing that can make an originally pure person no longer pure, especially when it is mixed with countless other interests entangled. Sean couldn't help but let out a sigh.

I have long heard that the Lancelot royal family has been in the recent past, and the contradiction between the princess faction and the royalist faction has become increasingly acute, but I didn't expect the saber rattling to this extent.

Even if Princess Sophia has shown no nostalgia for the power in her hand, she can't stand the disbelief of others.

When the power of the royalist faction grows up, it is natural to guard against Princess Sophia like a thief and prevent her from suddenly repenting.

The Eternal Night Army Leader, who takes the princess route, will naturally be implicated.

"Send a message to Marshall, our various businesses in Valesta have temporarily entered a state of contraction and maintenance, do not conflict with the royalists, and everything is based on forbearance. Sean gave the latest strategic task, "At the same time, inform the president of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce, let them pay attention to themselves, don't easily get involved in this kind of power struggle, if you are not careful, you will be doomed, and it will be difficult for me to protect them at that time." ”

Marshal Woody said with a smile: "Lord Lord, you don't need to worry about them, these people from the bottom are very keen, and they are monkey spirits and monkey spirits, afraid that their family will have a big business and provoke too many people in the royal capital, so their main force has already withdrawn from the royal capital one after another and moved to the surrounding secondary cities, leaving only a small part in the royal capital Valesta, even if something really happens to the royal capital, it will not hurt their roots." ”

"Everyone has their own way of survival, and it's not pure luck that they've struggled to survive at the bottom for so many years. Sean nodded and said, "I'll leave it to you here, I'm going to go to the royal capital first." ”
