Chapter 109: The Solid Wall (Part I)
"All Leviathans! Clean up the battlefield, cut off the heads of these rebels and tie them in a string! Erect a few shelves on both sides of the road and hang the heads of these guys as a sign of deterrence!"
When the battle was over, Knight Colin removed the bayonet hanging from the muzzle, wiped the blood from it, put the bayonet in its scabbard, and commanded.
"Yes!"
His soldiers answered, and began to follow Knight Collin's orders.
The soldiers worked together, some were responsible for cutting heads and mending knives, some were responsible for setting up shelves, and a few were collecting the spoils of war.
However, these trophies must be handed over, because Remlos Fort now implements a military merit system, and military merit is rewarded for victory, and officers and soldiers are not allowed to hide the spoils of war privately, otherwise they will be punished.
There was also a small episode while cleaning the battlefield, an enemy who had been shot and fell unconscious suddenly woke up, picked up a saber to fight with a soldier, and was stabbed into a sieve with bayonets by a dozen soldiers around him.
"Hall, go and report to Your Highness, and briefly explain the situation here!"
"Yes!"
"Locke, you take those two lightly wounded people to the rear barracks to find that elf druid, the wound is infected, and it will be troublesome. ”
"Yes!"
"Two men will send all the loot to the big warehouse and hand it over to Charles Knight to deal with. ”
"Yes!"
Knight Colin quickly assigns work and looks like a team leader.
............
In the wee hours of the morning, inside the castle of the lords.
Ever since Murphy received the news from the South Gate Pass, his mood has been a little depressed.
What does this mean?
This means that the enemy is finally coming, and the war is about to break out!
"What happened later, what did Captain Colin do with the battlefield?" Murphy asked Hale, a member of the "Leviathan" team who had sent the message.
"The captain ordered to cut off the heads of those enemies, string them in strings, and hang them on both sides of the road, saying that they would serve as a deterrent to the enemies who would come later. Hall replied.
Not only can it deter the enemy, but it will also provoke the enemy's anger, but it can also bring some advantages to one's own side.
It's just that this treatment method will not be too bloody, if you walk there at night, you will see a series of heads hanging on the side of the road, this scene is indeed a little scary.
However, since Knight Colin wants to hang up, let him hang up! As the so-called generals are not subject to the orders of foreign kings, he, a layman, can plan the general direction of this war at most, and the real meticulous work must be entrusted to their professionals.
"Leave the problems on the battlefield to Knight Colin to solve by himself! Are those two wounded soldiers handed over to the druids for treatment? If the infection is inflamed and the wound is festering, it is not a small problem!"
"Your Highness, please rest assured, the injuries of the two wounded soldiers are not serious, they have been handed over to the druids for treatment, although the serious point of the injury was cut off two fingers, but the treatment is quite timely, and it is estimated that it has been connected at this time!"
Murphy breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that he doesn't have to worry about anything himself, it's a good thing to have a group of capable subordinates, it's really worry-free.
"Hall, right? I have one more task for you. ”
"Your Highness, please speak, your subordinates will never give up!"
Murphy walked back to his desk, picked up a piece of parchment and put it in a letterbox, then sealed it with wax and handed it to Hall.
"You take this, go to the town of Fam, and hand it over to Viscount Kuber yourself. Remember, you must give it to him!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Hall took the letterbox, carefully placed it in his arms, gave Murphy a military salute, and turned to leave.
Murphy suddenly remembered the needle pistol that Knight Colin handed him before he led his army into the fortress, and he didn't know how effective the actual battle was? Knight Colin didn't say anything about giving him a letter, which was really not interesting!
"What I made by hand!!It must have worked well!" Carolen's voice sounded in Murphy's head.
Although Murphy was used to Carolen's mind reading from time to time, he still said helplessly.
"I said, aren't you bored, Lord Carolon, aren't you boring? Why don't you keep reading other people's minds? Are you guys who have practiced spiritual magic so boring?"
"Oh haha, after all, I am a collection of magic, there is no body and I don't need to sleep, I can only read other people's hearts when I am idle, so I can pass the time. ”
Murphy shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and continued to work, it is estimated that the war will start in the next two days, and he must quickly pay attention to supervising various departments to avoid anything going wrong.
As it turned out, Carolon was right, and nothing bad was anything bad that had been made by his hands.
The needle pistol, which is an imitation of the Dreiser's needle pistol, is really powerful.
Knight Colin thought.
First of all, there was a qualitative leap in the rate of fire, the cancellation of the breech charge to the breech charge was changed to a breech charge, which was simply a genius design.
The rate of fire has been increased from about three rounds a minute or four rounds a minute to more than a dozen rounds a minute, an increase of two or three times the efficiency.
The second is the ammunition, using this kind of bullet with a cartridge case, and the front end is still a pointed end, it looks very lethal, compared to the lead bullet like a egg ball, it is much more handsome, and it is more convenient to load, the primer is fixed and packed in the primer cap, and you don't need to load the gunpowder yourself.
In short, it is convenient, and you must propose to His Highness that this thing be popularized throughout the army, at least your own "Leviathan" must be popularized first!
Knight Colin sat in the fortress and wiped his beloved gun, counting the bullets one by one, coating each bullet with a layer of deer oil.
This trick was discovered by the warriors, and the buckshot coated with deer oil could increase the lethality and make it easier to load, and this habit was also retained by the Knight of Collin.
The eastern horizon was white, and Colin's position was not blocked by the high mountains of the Urso Mountains, and the sunrise could be seen clearly, and the knight was a little tired after a night of fighting.
After watching the sunrise, Colin hid in the tent in the camp and went to sleep.
"Wake me up whenever there is a situation!"
Before falling asleep, he said.
............
Viscount Cooper hadn't slept well since yesterday afternoon, and his market town had repelled four or five scout attacks.
Today, we must evacuate all the people, or we will bear the brunt of the millions of enemy troops.
"Lord Viscount!"
"Is it another enemy scout?"
"No, my lord, this time it's His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Viscount Kuber raised his eyebrows, and said in his heart, it is estimated that he is here to urge the evacuation.
"Bring him in! No, it's a big deal, I'll go over myself!"
Viscount Cooper, dressed in armor and riding his horse, went out of the castle gate and headed towards the market town wall.
"Hale has seen Viscount Kuber!"
As soon as Hall saw Viscount Cooper, he gave a military salute and took out the letter box in his arms and handed it to the Viscount.
"What is this?" Viscount Kuber was a little puzzled.
"My subordinates don't know! This is what His Highness wants me to give to you!"
Viscount Cooper opened the wax seal of the letterbox, took out the parchment letter and examined it carefully, and his face became gloomy.
