Chapter 21: Spoils of War
Now the Norslands have no rivals in the city, and they can do whatever they want in Prim Harbor.
After this sack of this prosperous city, it can really be said that the wealth accumulated over many years has been burned.
The native of Purin Harbor, who spent money to be a city defense army, was captured because of his injuries, and he can really be said to have seen what is called hell on earth in the past few days.
These heavily armed and warlike Norslans were not only cruel to Delman's Imperial soldiers, but also to the unarmed ordinary Delman.
The people of Noslan rushed into the streets, grabbed what they liked, and looted from house to house. If you see people who want to kill, they will kill them, and those who don't kill them will stay as slaves, including slaves in some aspects, of course.
The people, accustomed to peace, were completely frightened by this scene, and they did not know who to hear, that there was an area to the west of the city, where no Norslans could attack it, and where all the Delmans were allowed to take refuge, and this news spread among the fleeing refugees, and they rushed to that side desperately.
It seems to be the location of the church, could it be that the church sent people to protect these refugees? The refugees can't take care of that much, and now time is of the essence.
The western side of the city was largely ruled by Holf's army.
Inside the temporary barracks where Holf was stationed, it was originally a courtyard for nobles, now occupied by Holf.
The courtyard was littered with ruins, corpses, and flames that had not yet been extinguished. The beautiful courtyard is gone, replaced by a devil's lair.
Gravel led Roderick and Anna to the place, and Holf hadn't changed anything over the years. Becoming Gravel, he was originally resistant to this kind of thing, but now although he will not be as cruel as Holf, but for the sake of profit, he is not surprised, the nature of the Norslans is warlike and likes to plunder.
The soldiers of the Empire prayed not to die in battle, and the soldiers of Noslan prayed to die in battle, so that they could return to the arms of the god Orugar and live forever in the Valhalla of Havagard with the Twelve Warriors and the Martyrs.
Coming to the gate of the courtyard, the Norsland soldiers who were in charge of guarding the entrance to the courtyard brought with them each a Delman soldier who was lying on the ground and was kept as a dog.
One of the two Delman soldiers who had been bred as dogs was the native of Port Prim who had been wounded but did not die.
Seeing Gravel and them coming, a Norslan soldier holding a round shield with a golden brown bear on a purple background kicked one of the "dogs" in the ass, and the "dogs" began to exchange.
The "dog" had apparently had half of its tongue cut off, and the Norsland soldier laughed, and the other next to him did the same.
Gravel didn't bother to care about Holf's bad tastes, as long as it was for the enemy, and the Delmans were no better at treating the animals with their enemies.
Inside, he went straight to Horf, who was fighting five naked young Delman women there.
The people around him were shouting and cheering, Holf's shiny bald head, strong and bulging muscles, he was over half a hundred years old, and he was still so strong.
The five women were vulnerable, and one of them was directly hugged by Patrick and fought with his father.
Ackerman was not like his brother, he was only interested in those treasures, he chose some beautiful jewelry among the treasures and gold and silver that he had looted in the past few days, he only loved Isabella, and he wanted to pick out a beautiful gift for her himself.
Ragnar, alone grinding his axe in the corner, noticed Gravel and they were coming. Ragnar has had a good rest these days, and he has eaten well, which is enough for him, and he is actually quite disgusted by such violence against those who are weak, he thinks that there is no need, just kill the people who should be killed, and there is no need to embarrass the remaining people.
He is not benevolent, he just thinks that the people of the empire are like sheep with two legs, people want to eat sheep, but there is no need to kill them all at once, you can circle them and eat them slowly, this is the long-term solution.
Seeing Gravel coming, Holf slapped the white ass of a woman who was fighting. He drew his weapon of battle and asked his men to bring a nobleman's coat and put it on.
He knew that Gravel had come to him, and there must be something to discuss.
"Hey, my good brother, my king, how did you have time to come to me in person. Holf walked towards Gravel with open arms
"You're talking to the king, please be respectful. Roderick stepped forward to stop
"Aren't you the guy who came to me the other day to ask for help, what's your name? I'm sorry I forgot, I don't care who the fuck you are, make me unhappy and be careful that Lao Tzu chops you with an axe. Horf suddenly burst into rage
Gravel signaled Roderick to step back, he also intended to protect Roderick, he knew Horf too well, even he, the king, I am afraid Horf did not take it seriously.
"My good brother, I've been in good spirits lately, don't affect your mood for trivial things, I'm here today to tell you good news. Gravel himself stepped forward and gave Horf a bear hug
Anna next to all this was in her eyes, but she didn't say a word, she and Gravel had also come all the way, she knew Grawell and Holf too well.
Only a young man like Roderick, who thinks he has some strength, dares to make a mistake here, to know which of these people did not crawl out of the pile of corpses.
The good news that Gravel told Horf was that he was going to hold a large sacrifice here to thank the gods for their blessing and victory in the war. In addition, after taking over the port of Narland, Gravel's men found a large amount of supplies, including a considerable amount of smuggled goods. It can be seen that there were still people in Delman who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune at that time, and if these materials were used by Narland, Gravel would be much more difficult, because there were a lot of magic crystals in these goods, which could be directly fired by the magic crystal cannon. Gravel knew how terrible the Crystal Cannon really was, and he finally found it among the prisoners of war, less than five people who could use it.
This time, it was not the women's food and gold and silver treasures that Gravel was most excited about. Rather, there are one or two airships that are still in use, as well as magic crystal cannons and crossbows.
These three things were far more valuable to Gravell than anything else, and with them, his future plans were not as simple as plundering one or two cities in the Empire.
At this moment, a soldier of Horff, covered in blood, accompanied by the guards, came to Horf, and his breath was weak.
"Oh no, my lord, there's something going on in the west......
