Chapter Eighty-Five: Counting the Spoils of War is always the Happiest
The militiamen were mainly responsible for the work, while the regular soldiers were now on both sides, watching for any ill-delicacies;
Add casually called a soldier with the Centurion emblem and asked him to lead a team into the forest to help clean up the mess;
Eddie then begins to admire the "trophies" kneeling on the pavement;
"My lord, there are still fourteen regular cavalry left in Black Mud Town, and none of them have run!" Stone Fist introduced to Add with some excitement, "Look, they are all here!"
This regular cavalry can be said to be the most important measure of the power of the nobility;
On the one hand, the training of cavalry was more time-consuming and laborious, and on the other hand, it was ......
The equipment of the cavalry is really expensive.
Add began to look up and down a kneeling horseman: helmet, cuirass, waistplate, legmail, iron boots, and that's just the armor, and the horses, their armor, a spear, and an iron sword......
Taken together, this is far more than Add's current wealth, and generally speaking, a knight would not have much more wealth than a regular cavalryman;
And there are fourteen such valuable troops...... For a baron, this was almost doubling the family fortune.
In addition to the cavalry, the equipment on the infantry and adventurers is by no means a small price;
Speaking of which, if Add were to be classified, he would also be classified as an "adventurer".
Faced with more than 200 people kneeling on the ground, and those valuable equipment, Add had no intention of looting them;
Because, this battle was won by Maple Town, and these are all trophies of Maple Town;
The spoils of Maple Town are at the disposal of Baron Fangdun;
And Baron Fangdun's decision...... Add has the final say.
In other words, the entire town of Maple is Eddie's territory, and everything in Baron Fangdun's name belongs to Eddie;
...... Eddie naturally doesn't covet his own things;
Of course, with the exception of Baron Greywolf's jewels, after all, Eddie also needs a little bit of pocket money, although he will provide it to Eddie if he asks Baron Fang Dun directly...... It's like exposing the fact that "I don't have a lot of money".
Wealth is useless just to be there, it has to be used where it makes the most sense—thought Add;
If the goal is to kill the regent, it is necessary to develop more power and maintain obscurity......
"Lord Add, what do you think should be done with these captives?" asked Baron Fang Dun respectfully;
After knowing Add's identity, the loyal Fang Dun could not put himself and Add on an equal footing under any circumstances;
This kind of important matter concerning the future development is naturally to ask Your Majesty for instructions.
Add glanced at the captive, looking impassive—
...... I don't have any experience with this, do you?
After defeating the enemy army in the game, there doesn't seem to be too complicated to deal with it;
At most, it is necessary to deal with the enemy generals, whether to detain, surrender, execute or release them - of course, it is no longer a matter of time.
After a moment's deep groaning, Add felt that he still couldn't respond rashly.
"Tell us what you two think. Add looked at the shield and the stone fist;
Let's start with the ingredients.
"Lord Add, I think these are the main forces of Black Mud Town!" "Stone Fist lowered his voice to make sure no one else heard him, "If they are all executed, Black Mud Town will collapse at the touch of a button!"
What kind of solution is this? Eddie frowned: Killing all these people will make any positive difference to the situation of the battle?
No, it will stimulate the fear and hatred of the people of Black Mud Town, which is not conducive to the implementation of the plan in the future.
"Lord Add, I think these people should all be imprisoned. Fang Dun's demeanor was much calmer than that of Stone Fist, "As long as their weapons and equipment are confiscated, these people will not be able to make any big waves." ”
Call...... I thought there was something I didn't expect to deal with. Add nodded, relieved inwardly;
"Baron Fang Dun is right, but there is room for improvement—for example, those people can be allowed to do some manual work under the supervision of soldiers, so that they can be considered to be used to the best of their ability. "Add feels like it's a waste to have those people eat white rice in the dungeon,
"But what Stonefist said is not without merit - for example, Black Mud Town is indeed quite empty now, and it is time to take it down completely. ”
"Oh—are you going to send troops to fight?" "Stone Fist was quite eager to try, and today's victory made his confidence skyrocket;
"No, there's no need to wield knives and guns. Add shook his head, "In this battle, Black Mud Town is almost out of the nest, and then you only need to send a team of soldiers, with the head of the baron, his armor, and his sword, and the whole town can naturally fall into the wind."
I have heard before that the eldest son of the Baron is not yet a minor, and it must be difficult to support the whole situation in such a situation;
Capture them and imprison them in the dungeon, gradually dissipating the forces loyal to the Blue Wolf Baron in Black Mud Town, and gradually bring Black Mud Town under his command completely. ”
After thinking for a while, Baron Fang Dun nodded-he had also heard the news about Baron Greywolf's son, because he was young and had no great ability, in such a situation, he should choose to surrender directly, if he didn't surrender, there would be no problem in attacking;
After all, no one in Black Mud Town can get out of the crossbow machine, Eddie thought.
"As for the captives, they should be called for a period of hard labor, and when the situation on the other side of the town is stable, select some obedient ones, return their armor, and let them serve Baron Fangdun; Eddie went on to explain—and that was the way the problem between the two towns was settled;
Another way of saying ...... "the problem of the two towns is solved" is that
Only the problem between the two towns was solved.
"Lord Add, I still have one thing to worry about...... "Stonefist seemed to remember something, "This annexation of Black Mud Town must be smooth, but after that...... How should we face the Viscount of Steel and Wood City?"
"Don't worry about that. Fang Dun replied for Eddie, "Lord Viscount, I naturally have a way to deal with it. ”
Regarding the situation on the side of Steelwood City, Eddie had already discussed with Fang Dun - Viscount of Steelwood City was the superior of Fang Dun and Blue Wolf, and he might not fight when the two fought, but he would definitely not disagree;
Eddie knew before that the viscount and the blue wolf were closer and more distant from Fang Dun, and if the two sides fought, if the blue wolf won, it would probably be fine, but if Fang Dun won...... That's hard to say.
This difference stems from Baron Fangdun's attitude towards the Regent - Fangdun does not swear allegiance to the Ernemi family;
Although Eddie asked Fang Dun to stay obscure for the time being, and on the surface he was obedient first, he ......
Obviously, the problem will not be solved so easily.
