Chapter 217: Management and Night Banquet
By the afternoon of the second day, after a day and night of pursuit, there was almost no trace of ogres in the core of the wilderness flatland, and there were a lot of these old, weak, sick and remnants, and finally provided a lot of experience for Richard, so that Richard was almost too far away from being upgraded, maybe he couldn't wait for this time to go back and hand in the task, and he should be promoted to another level.
There are still many kobolds in the wilderness who surrender on the spot, compared to ogres, Richard is more tolerant of these kobolds, after all, they eat less and work more, they are high-class labor, and if they are used well, they can liberate a large number of laborers from the mines and quarries.
The key is not so tyrannical, although the head is iron, but as long as they are subdued, the loyalty is okay, much better than the ogre, so under Richard's order, as long as the kobold does not take the initiative to attack the human army, there is no killing of the kobold here, which also leads to the fact that in addition to the kobold who escaped in all directions, there are tens of thousands of kobolds as prisoners in the entire wilderness.
…
"Don't move! Whoever runs dies! ”
In a fence in the wilderness, there is a large number of kobolds squatting in the black, which was originally used by ogres to keep livestock, and now they are all used by Richard's soldiers to temporarily imprison kobolds.
With the civil engineering ability of the kobolds, of course these fences can't stop them if they really want to run, but at this time, the kobolds have long been frightened, and they all stand in the fence and dare not run away, and they don't dare to grin at the humans anymore, after all, although they are iron-headed, they are not fools, even the original masters, the powerful ogres are going to let this group of humans kill all at this time, how dare they resist.
In addition to some human soldiers guarding, there are also some kobolds helping to manage, and the haba in a blue uniform is now standing proudly in front of this group of captured kobolds,
Compared to this group of dirty kobolds, the neatly groomed Haba has an unparalleled sense of superiority in front of them, even if Haba himself was just a slave digging the foundation not long ago, it does not affect his appearance in front of his people at this time.
"I am the kobold officer of the Thousand Households appointed by the great Hirano Waiting Lord Richard, and I will also be one of your governors in the future,
It's ten times better to be a dog than to work for a vulgar ogre, no, at least a hundred, and if you work hard, you'll be like me, fed every day, clothed in good clothes, and assigned to separate rooms..."
Huba was on the side, grunting to soothe the kobold in the fence in a language that the human soldiers did not understand, and turning back from time to time to face the arrogant Haba of his kind, nodding to the soldiers staring at him. A pair of servants is very good, but it makes the other kobolds in the fence envious,
The difference between Haba and them is not as simple as washing and wearing clothes, during this time, Haba ate well and slept well, and occasionally mixed some meat with the soldiers, grew a lot, and his hair was much oilier, and his life was much better than these kobolds who followed the ogre.
Seeing that the lecture was almost over, Haba also stopped, and left with a few soldiers, and there was a celebration banquet tonight, and Haba and a few dog managers were eligible to participate under Richard's note, and they almost had to go and prepare.
Arranging for the pug to come to the kobold captives here to take pictures several times a day is naturally Richard's meaning,
Managing kobold slaves, giving some hope, setting a few examples of a good life, and hanging carrots on the high will still be done by Richard, which can not only kill his spirit of resistance, but also make his work harder than mere violent oppression.
As night fell, large bonfires were lit, and the atmosphere in the middle of the whole wilderness became very warm, even if the air was still filled with the smell of blood, and the corpses of many ogres had not yet been buried, but who cared,
The soldiers happily slaughtered cattle and sheep to set up a cauldron and prepare a big meal, although the soldiers under Richard can be full, and occasionally you can see oil and meat, but it is impossible to eat meat openly, but today Richard, who captured a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock, is rare and arrogant, and let the soldiers eat meat openly today, so that there is such a hot scene in front of him.
This victory is of great significance, it can be said that in addition to the capture of a large number of supplies, the rescue of the population and the improvement of Richard's personal upgrades, there is also great strategic significance, the ogre threat in the western part of the territory is basically completely lifted, and it is only a matter of time before the entire wilderness becomes the backyard of Richard's forces,
As long as it is managed well, the supply of meat in Richard's territory in the future can at least increase several times, not to mention all kinds of possible mineral materials, just a magic energy crystal mine is the lifeblood that cannot be separated from now.
Having won such a significant victory, most of the celebration banquet is also a proper meaning.
In addition to the soldiers in the camp, Richard's Chinese army tent is still very lively, in addition to Ron, Quill and Kerry and other senior senators who are qualified to sit down, as well as new faces such as Elena and Hadman, there are almost more than a dozen people sitting in the camp tent,
Different from the soldiers outside, they, the senior officers in the big tent of the Chinese army, naturally do not have to handle the food by themselves, at this time, there are roasted mutton in front of them, which is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with rich seasonings, the fragrance has long wafted into everyone's nose, and the index finger of the person is moving.
It's just that Richard on the main seat didn't move, and no one below moved the food on the plate, waiting for Richard to speak.
I saw Richard, who was sitting on the high seat, pick up the wine bowl in front of him and gesture downward, and everyone below, including Elena, raised the wine bowl in his hand as if it had been rehearsed.
"During the special period, let everyone replace the wine with tea first, don't dislike it."
It was a rule set by Richard not to drink alcohol during wartime, and it was impossible for him to break it and slap himself in the face.
Fortunately, the generals below do not have any alcoholic guys, and they will not have any dissatisfaction with the matter of replacing wine with tea during the war, and they are busy calling the Marquis wise and leading by example, and accompanied Richard to drink the tea in the bowl in one gulp, and then put the bowl aside very arrogantly, and even drank the feeling of wine.
Probably for most of the people sitting in the tent, it didn't matter what they drank, it was who they drank with, and some of them could even accompany Richard to get drunk with a few sips of tea if needed.
"This time, everyone has made a meritorious contribution, and according to the rules, the rewards that should be given are only a lot more this time."
"Lord Marquis Xie."
Richard's image in Hunter is that he is a lord who will do what he says, and of course everyone will not doubt Richard's promise, and some of them are anxious to start thinking about how much land they can get in exchange for their exploits this time, or what better exercises they can get.
"Fill this cup again!"
Although there was no banquet and dance, the atmosphere of the banquet was pushed to a climax by the reward promised by Richard, especially Hadman, who had just joined the ranks, was even more excited to talk to the many people in the banquet, trying to fit into the whole.
The banquet lasted for nearly two hours, and it was not until Richard was about to go out to inspect the entire camp that the atmosphere gradually cooled down......
