"Chapter 204: Riding the Victory"

"Very good, very brilliant result. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

In the kingdom's camp, we collected all the documents and supplies, threw them in the corner and put them in order to be sorted out by the more educated soldiers and knights, while we sat down at the table, wiped the blood from the table, threw the corpses aside, ignored the smell of blood, and took out bread and jerky for breakfast (although it was almost noon), and the soldiers outside set up the stoves and made soup with the food they had brought and the vegetables they had captured in the barracks.

I don't know what happened, but I still vividly remember the fear I felt when I saw the dead body for the first time, the nightmare I felt when I woke up in the middle of the night at the sight of an enemy who was blind, and I remember the discomfort of not being able to eat for two days because of the broken corpse. But now, I sat there like a cold-blooded animal, ignoring the corpses dragged around by the skeleton soldiers nearby, ignoring the pungent smell of blood, eating and drinking like no one, just like these veterans around me. It was unsettling to me, but I knew that I had to accept this horrible and strange feeling, because as a leader, sometimes you don't have to be completely ruthless, but you have to be cold-blooded enough. Some things, once relaxed, can cause catastrophe.

"Our tactics are still very effective, and with enough superior troops, the Skeleton Legion can completely sweep through any regular army in the kingdom." Philip picked up the bread and stuffed it directly into his mouth, he was really a little hungry, and in order to march in time and effectively, he did not close his eyes for three days, and did not eat for three days. But even so, when the battle was won, he was immediately refreshed, and he didn't look tired at all.

"There are enough 50,000 people in this barracks to eat half a year's worth of grain, and 10,000 horses to consume three months' hay, which fills dozens of houses. Because our attack was so sudden, they didn't even have time to destroy the secrets of the data, so they also kept food, which can become our military food, so that we don't have to worry about food this winter. For Merlon, he was more concerned with the post-battle than with the victory on the battlefield, but it was clear that he was very satisfied with the spoils of the battle.

"A lot of armor and weapons, and a lot of arrows, bows, and crossbows, all of which are of very good quality, and although we don't need them, they are enough to arm half of the Alliance's troops." Mei Long's interest was very high, holding the food in both hands and kept talking about how rich the battle power was this time. Philip was also very interested in this, he had been busy directing the troops, and he did not pay attention to the liquidation of the loot, but he also knew the value of the loot, so he listened very carefully.

"We got a little information from the mouths of those captives, and dug out some chests from under the beds of those officers, all of which were real money, as well as blocks of magic crystals, and exchanged for at least 20,000 gold coins, it seems that these officers have been stationed here all year round to loot." Mei Long took a bite of the jerky and pointed to the boxes that had been carried into the camp by the barbarians, the gold coins in the boxes had been taken away by the system, but the silver coins and gold products were still there, and some militiamen were counting their value and quantity.

"Good booty, a war allowed us to recoup most of the cost of dealing with the kingdom during this time." Philip nodded, and made a brief evaluation, and from the tone of his voice, he could tell that he was satisfied now.

"But in my opinion, these are secondary, we have captured a kingdom official who only arrived in this camp yesterday, they belong to an elite regiment in the south of the kingdom, from his mouth we have obtained a little information, although limited but can be judged that the kingdom is gathering troops to prepare to attack us." Mei Long said a little mysteriously.

"How did we catch him? A Kingdom officer of this rank would not easily surrender. I put down the bread and beef and asked Mei Long.

"That guy took a severe overdose of hempone, that thing can make people happy to the sky, but it can also paralyze people's brains, even the battle master can't guarantee that he won't have problems after taking three times the dose, and of course this guy is unlucky, we found him lying on the ground as if he was dead. But his mouth is very hard, and he can't hold too many things. Mei Long replied.

"Then force it out, we have to get more detailed information." Philip replied very simply, and played with the knife in his hand, plunging it heavily into the beef.

"Mei Long, I don't care what means the person in charge of interrogation uses, how inhumane it is, we must pry his mouth open tomorrow at the latest!" I cut the bread, my face was expressionless, but my heart set off turbulent waves, for my own ruthlessness and decisiveness, I couldn't accept it for a while, I felt that the changes that had occurred in me during this time even I couldn't accept it.

"Tomorrow? I know this is important, but my lord, I think you have some plan that is too reckless. After listening to my answer, Mei Long put down the tableware, his expression was a little puzzled, but also a little serious. Philip stopped to eat and looked at us with Miron.

"Meilong, which is the closest kingdom city to here?" I didn't stop what I was doing, and I didn't answer his question directly, but asked about something else.

"South Ankel, less than a hundred kilometers from here, has a population of more than 20,000 and a garrison of 3,000 troops. My lord, I see what you mean, but it's a bit too risky to set off right now. Mei Long answered my question and understood what I meant. My question is clear, and the meaning is clear, and I intend to stab the kingdom twice in the soft underbelly of the southern part of the kingdom before the kingdom's army arrives, so that the kingdom's lesson will be a little heavier.

"We have no problem taking there, but we don't know if there are any troops supported by the kingdom there, if there is, we may be flanked by the kingdom's multi-way army, although we can retreat, but our troops have not been replenished, the casualties will be very heavy, and it will also strengthen their morale in disguise." Philip analyzed it from a military point of view, and he still agreed with Mei Long's opinion.

"So we need to get the information of the kingdom's forces from that captive as soon as possible, and then mess up the entire southwest of the kingdom before they arrive, we need to let them know that we have the strength to talk to them on an equal footing, and we also want to let them know that this place will not belong to them after all. We are not lambs, and we will not let them be slaughtered. "I ate the bread and beef in my hand and felt like I had never been so determined.

"It's risky, but it's worth the try." Philip listened to me and studied the map for a while, then finally nodded.

"Our people will get the information as quickly as possible, our strength is already very strong, and we have the capital to attack rashly." Mei Long nodded solemnly, and then agreed to my suggestion.

"That's it, tomorrow we'll set off with our whole army and go straight to South Anker!" I stood up and plunged my knife deep into the southern part of the kingdom on the map.
