In the next two days, Art sent people to set up defenses and patrol sentry around the farm waiting platform, and at the same time sent people to urge Viscount Geoffrey, who was still stationed in Aosta City, to send people to take over the defense as soon as possible to replace the exhausted outpost team.

The captured Lombard leader Baron Schmidt has been sent by the Provençal court to take the city of Aosta to imprison, and the rest of the matter will be negotiated between the Provençal court and the Duchy of Lombardy, whether it is used in exchange for the nobles captured by the Lombards or for a huge ransom, Art can get a share of the income from it, and of course, there is an enviable military merit of capturing the commander of the enemy nobles.

The surroundings of the outpost were not peaceful, and the Lombard cavalry that was bombarded by Angus with the Sentinel Cavalry returned to Solburg and reported to Viscount von Billon, the commander of the Solburg garrison, that the forward outpost had been occupied, so after Viscount Berrion lifted the blockade of Solburg's reinforcements, the Lombard commander Viscount von Billon sent three teams to try to regain the forward outpost, but Arter commanded back.

After eight battles before and after this battle, the Yates army captured more than sixty Lombard soldiers {most of them were captured after the battle}; The losses of their own side were not small, and only 17 of the original two mercenary squadrons of nearly 30 people were left, and the battle damage was the most serious. Tuba 2nd Squadron, Kazak 3rd Squadron, and Ron 4th Squadron were killed and 6 seriously wounded, due to the humid and hot weather here, the wounds of many wounded soldiers were not easy to heal, and the Sentinel Cavalry killed one person and one horse, two were seriously wounded, and everyone in the team was wounded, except for the baggage team that did not participate in the battle, only the Gongnu squad was not killed or seriously wounded, and only two archers were hit by the enemy archers on the farm tower in the siege of the back wall.

The only force in the entire legion was the first squadron of the reorganized regiment led by Colin, who had been guarding the southern caravans for a period of time, and the main trade route had been cleared by Art's troops before, so they had never suffered major losses.

Two days earlier, the southern caravan stationed in Aosta had received a secret order from Art to arrive at the newly recovered farmstead with sixteen empty wagons, all of which were loaded with goods when they left the farm.

On the same day that the southern caravan departed, Viscount Berion, who was not far from here and had been fighting with the mercenaries of Genana in the hills and mountains, also sent a dozen ox carts and wagons and more than twenty miscellaneous servants to the farm, and when they left, the chariots were carrying all the most scarce grain and baggage in the war zone......

"My lord, the commander of the legion, Viscount Geoffrey, sent a baggage officer to count the armament and baggage, and the clerk also brought someone to follow him to record the battle exploits. Are you going to meet them? "At an oak table on the second floor of the inner fort of the farm, Otto reported to Art, who was writing a letter, that the Eastern Army Tuanpai had come to contact him.

Art picked up the two pieces of parchment on the table with both hands, and blew the ink dry, and said to Otto: "Let Spencer contact the Legion Baggage Officer, this time we have handed over 30,000 pounds of food and more than 30 sets of weapons and armor to the Legion, and the baggage officer's mouth should be cracked with laughter."

"But Baron Schmidt is now imprisoned in Aosta City, and I'm afraid the legion also knows the original grain and armament in the farm~" Odo is worried that the legion blames them for stealing food, baggage, weapons and armor, after all, this time is different from the last time to purge the rebels, Viscount Geoffrey did not allow Art to steal all the war catches.

"Kill the bold, starve the faint-hearted. We have died so many soldiers, do we have to obediently present the war harvest with both hands? The finest weapons and armor had all been worn on the soldiers, and the slightly better ones had been smuggled away by the caravans, and the rest of the ragged armor was left behind by the Lombards. Let Spencer tell the Legionary Officers that the Lombards had been attacking for the past two days, and that they had infiltrated the farmstead and burned a large amount of food and equipment, and we had snatched these things, and there was still a lot of ashes under the wall, just in time to testify. ”

"Can you believe it? Can the Legion Commanders believe it? ”

"If they don't believe it, they should regain the lost territory themselves, we fought the battle, and the people are also our death, it would be good to be able to hand them over some war catches, those commanders are not dull people, and besides, I have secretly ordered Salter to quietly send you a copy of the valuable goods he brought back, and I believe that if they get my "gift", they will not be more serious with me. ”

Otto looked at it with a look of understanding, and continued: "I'll send Spencer to deal with it at the baggage officer's place, but I'm afraid you will have to go and ask the clerk yourself, after all, it is easy to offend the problem of military merit reporting."

Art put the two blow-dried letters back on the table, folded them in half, took up the roasted fire paint, dropped a drop each, and then took out his own heraldic seal and pressed it, and the two fire paint seals were made.

"These two letters are addressed to Earl Balwin and Bishop Orlov, and I have stated in my private letter our military exploits, and if the Legion dares to take military proes, someone will stand up for me."

Art raised his head and commanded Odo: "But you have a point, and it is indeed not easy to offend the Legion Clerk, so as not to trouble the future when discussing military exploits." In this way, you personally accompanied the clerk to several battlefields to inspect the merits of the army and count the heads of the enemy soldiers, and in the evening you asked the room to prepare a table of wine and meat, and I personally entertained them. ”

"By the way, prepare a few small silver coins, this time I will officially report the military merits of several of you to the court, you are all officers of the Eastern Legion registered by the palace, and you should also enjoy military merit promotion."

"Yes! My lord! "Otto was a little excited.

After Otto left, Art beckoned downstairs, "Felix, let someone prepare some horses, let's go check the waiwei guard post, and by the way, let the sergeant major come back and rest for a while." ”

On the sixth day after the reconquest of the farmstead, Viscount Geoffrey finally sent a flag team to take over the garrison of Arte. And Art also returned to Aosta City with the outpost team to repair a little in preparation for the next battle against Solburg.

The Outpost of Art lost a lot of soldiers, but when they returned to Aosta, they increased in number, because after destroying the Lombards of the farm and several small settlements around them, the native Provençal people who had been driven into the dense forest by the Lombard invaders quietly returned to their homeland, and then Ron led people to recruit the original Provençal people who had destroyed their homeland into the army.

Most of these people who survived the Lombard tusha were young farmers and mountain hunters, who had both the potential to be warriors and most of them were adult men who had lost their care, and most importantly, they hated the Lombards and had a strong desire to kill the enemy and take revenge.

However, Arte was now in the Eastern Legion, and it was impossible to expand the size of his army at will, so he incorporated the newly recruited twenty or so Provençal young men into the outpost baggage team, and declared to the public that they were Provençal volunteers who volunteered to follow the outpost as miscellaneous soldiers, and these people would be trained as recruits in Aosta, and then a few of them would make up for the battle losses of each squadron and be promoted to legionnaires.

Just as Art was riding on horseback and thinking about his next step, Odo, the deputy commander in charge of the army's general affairs, hurriedly rushed to the head of the team and grabbed Art's reins, and said, "My lord, Ron has started talking nonsense again, his forehead and body are very hot, and the knife wounds on his cheeks are also a little white and swollen, you should hurry up and see what to do."

Ron fell again. This time it was because the humid and hot weather in the hills of southern Provence made the wound on Ron's cheek not heal and it was a little ulcerated.

Art blamed himself, not because he made a mistake in the Lombards' scheme to increase Ron's trauma, but because he didn't pay attention to Ron after he was cut in the cheek with a short knife, and when Ron bandaged the wound and said that it was fine, Art really thought that there was nothing wrong, so he didn't treat Ron's "broken" wound as a big deal.

But after only five days, Ron's cheek wound began to fester, and the wound ulceration put Ron in an even greater crisis, and he hadn't woken up since he slept the previous night......

Art jumped off his horse and hurried to follow Otto to the baggage team.

"My lord, it's getting dark now, and even if you ride a horse-drawn carriage from Aosta City, you won't be able to reach it until tomorrow evening. Judging by Ron's condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to last tomorrow night. "Otto has a deep affection for this little brother who fights side by side with him every day, and now this guy is once again wandering on the line of life and death, and Otto is like a stalk.

"Did you feed him the trauma medicine that Thomas developed today?" Art asked.

"The doctor fed him the powder once in the morning, and again at noon, and he slept quietly for an afternoon without talking nonsense, but now it started again~"

When Art arrived at the carriage where Ron was lying, several medics were cleaning the wound on Ron's cheek with warm water that had been boiled and cooled, and they knew that Ron was Art's henchman, so they were also extra attentive to the treatment. However, these medics only learned some emergency medicine skills from Thomas and Fana Yu in the valley, and they were barely able to deal with ordinary wounds.

Art observed Ron's condition, and now Ron is no longer a simple sword wound, the knife wound is on the face, too close to the head, it is estimated that the wound infection burned the head.

"The disease has invaded Ron's head, that's why he's talking nonsense, and he must be treated quickly, otherwise it's too late." Art is also reluctant to explain the word infection to those around him, and he tells everyone that Ron is infected by the disease that invades the brain.

"The order goes down, and the Legion stops advancing."

"Otto, arrange for everyone to camp on the spot, and set up a tent for Ron first. In addition, the sergeant major was ordered to be responsible for the sentry guard. ”

"Spencer, Spencer!"

Spencer ran over a few steps, "My lord? You call me? ”

"How much wine do we have left?"

"Uh~ we still have half a bucket left."

"Where's the ale?"

"There's only a small jar left."

"The sergeant chief has a water bladder of strong ale, you can go to the sergeant major and borrow it immediately."

"My lord, you~ you want to drink??" Spencer couldn't understand why Lord Art, who was not usually a drinker, needed so much alcohol at this time.

"Save Ron. Wine is the blood of God, and only the blood of God can drive away the sickness from Ron's body. ”

"Ah~ Yes! I'll go get the wine right away. Spencer ran to the back of the line to find Angus, who was patrolling the four quarters, to borrow a drink.

In the evening tent, Ron was clothed and lying on a wooden bed made of the side panels of a carriage.

Art poured the strong ale from the bladder into his hand and rubbed it all over Ron's body, then had several medics use wooden shields as fans to fan Ron hard to cool down the ale. At the same time, the baggage Spencer also personally changed the cotton towel soaked in cold water on Ron's forehead, and after a while, repeated it again......

This continued until it was dark, and Ron's hot body began to slowly return to normal, and Art was tired enough.

"Alright, you should be able to get through tonight. Remember to feed Chief Ron warm boiling water every hour, and if he gets hot again, you repeat what I just did, and the ale is gone, you can use wine instead. ”

"My lord, is that all?" Otto asked with concern.

"For the rest, pray for him, that God will continue to show mercy and mercy to Ron the Warrior." Art drew a holy cross on his chest, opened the tent door and left...... 166 net
