Derceth was garrisoning Marasburg at this time, and he had sent his soldiers to sweep away the other nobles of Marasshire, the vassals of the Count of Maras.

They had no idea what Delceth was here for, and there were even several people hiding in the castle who didn't want to send troops to rescue Count Maras.

Because they had received the news that Delseth had a large army in their hands, they did not want to risk the danger of rescuing Count Maras.

Sadly, Count Maras still trusted his vassals in the end, thinking that they would come to his aid, but he did not expect to be abandoned by the nobles.

However, this also gave the royal infantry a chance, and they held on to their manors and main castles, and of course they could not withstand the attacks of the royal infantry.

In just a few days, all their castles were conquered, and the nobles and their families all fell into the hands of the royal infantry.

They hadn't thought for a long time why Delseth, who had defeated Count Maras, would send someone to attack them, they had already shown their goodness, didn't they?

They naively thought that not sending troops to rescue Count Maras was a show of favor to Delceth, and even if it was a gesture of goodwill to him, how could Delseth let them go?

After all, his accusation was to expand his territory and conquer larger colonies for the kingdom of Lorik, with more orc slaves, population, and silver and resources.

For Deseth, they were a stumbling block to the colony's development, so Deseth had no intention of keeping them for a long time.

The royal infantry escorted them back to Marasbourg, but despite their great reluctance and doubt, they still failed to see Delceth.

For Delseth, they mean nothing, the brutal nobleman, who will be judged and sentenced to death in front of everyone, and the benevolent nobleman, who will be exiled and deprived of his territory.

In fact, he didn't care whether the nobles were merciful or cruel, it didn't matter to him much, he just wanted to make the seizure of the territory more reasonable and the inhabitants more supportive.

Despite the fact that the opinions of the inhabitants of this era were always ignored and despised by them, Derces knew that if they wanted to establish a solid colony here, they would have to rely on these civilians.

He wasn't going to be like Baron Nair, who was going to build this place like the ontology, his credo was to plunder and plunder.

He didn't think about the expensive option of construction at all, but it was worth mentioning that he was still considering whether to appoint local nobles to govern the place and use them to help him make money.

After all, he didn't have that much energy and officials to help him rule as firmly as the Kingdom of Lorik, appointing the local nobles to extort and make the local people hate them, and then pretend to be good people himself.

When the time comes, as long as some nobles who have gone too far are executed, they can gain the loyalty of the inhabitants, who will only think that these nobles are hiding from Delseth to extort tyranny.

What did you say? Will the aristocrats be disgruntled? Don't be stupid, how could Delseth care about this, when the time comes, Delseth will deprive the nobles of all their territories, and there is only one way for them to continue to maintain a luxurious life.

That is to serve in this colonial government, even if some people don't want to do it, then there are still a lot of landless nobles staring at this position.

This was what Derceth had in mind, as he didn't have a large system of reserve officials like the Kingdom of Lorik, so he had to rely on nobles to rule.

Of course, it's too early to say all this, and Delseth is ready to fight again after knowing that there are other forces hidden behind this matter.

For this reason, he specially sent people to the Principality of Mainek to send many soldiers again, leaving only one brigade of royal infantry and one brigade of archers to defend.

With the capture of Maras, the Duchy of Maineke was much less exposed to other borders and less dangerous.

That's why Delceth dared to send so many troops to Maras County.

He sensed that the forces behind him might unite after he conquered Marasshire, so he didn't withdraw his troops, but waited here.

He also sent a number of spies to infiltrate the spheres of those forces to find out if they would join forces to attack him.

If those people still don't make any moves, then Delceth will be the first to hit them by surprise.

The kingdom of Lorik was at the height of its construction, which is why he was so eager to carry out military operations.

He stood still in Marasburg, and he sent most of the royal infantry and servants to capture the orcs in Marasshire.

These orcs were still relegated to the backward tribal system, and their IQ was very low, and he believed that the powerful army he brought from the kingdom of Lorik would be more than enough to defeat them.

Although the orcs are infinitely powerful, their IQ is too low, perhaps because of this, they lost to humans on the road of evolution, making humans the masters of this land, and they can only hide in the deep mountains and old forests to survive.

There is a gathering place of orcs in Maras County, where there are about thirty or forty thousand orcs, and there are also some small tribes scattered throughout the territory.

They are like a group of scavengers, who have no fixed place to live, and roam the land all day long, looking for food to eat.

However, in this era of low productivity, human serfs have no enough to eat and have to forage for food, how can they leave food for them?

As a result, they were all starved and skinny, and there were even many instances of plundering human villages.

Although Count Maras sent troops to sweep Giorgio again and again, he did not have the ability to mobilize too many troops after all, so he could only treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

But this time, Delseth had a huge army in his hands, and it wasn't too difficult to exterminate these orcs.

Therefore, they swept through Maras County in droves, and as soon as they spotted a small group of orcs, they attacked and captured them.

But until now, Delseth has not set his sights on the large orc settlement, where there are too many orcs, and if he wants to conquer it, he will definitely have to mobilize a large number of troops.

Now he is not sure if the other forces will unite against him, so he is still on the safe side, and it is good to capture the wandering orcs.

In just a few days, thousands of orcs have been imprisoned in Count Maras.

Although they had a lot of food, they were slaves, and it would be nice for Delseth to keep them fed.

What's more, the royal infantrymen collected all their wealth and food after destroying those nobles, so he is not short of food now.
