Chapter 18: The Sensation in Biebertown. ‘’
The battlefield became quiet, the bandits' troops had collapsed, and only a few dozen captives were left squatting on the ground tremblingly, surrounded by a group of muscular men with **** upper bodies, staring at them. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Goblins are cleaning the battlefield, although the gold coins have been collected by the system, there are still a lot of silver and copper coins waiting for us to pick up, which is also a lot of income. And some of the spears can be recycled.
At the end of the battle, not only did my troops not decrease, but there were also a lot more, because I had just summoned all the cards in my hand except for the Knight and Bomberman Cannon, and now the size of my army has exceeded 400 people. Of course, more than half of them are skeletons. This is due to the thirty or forty skeletons I have saved during this time, and they are all thrown out at the first level, and now I have more than 200 skeletons alone, and this is after I lost nearly 50 skeletons just now. There are more than 50 goblins and a little more pitchers than goblins. The barbarians had some skin wounds, but they didn't care at all. Because there was no attrition, there were 28 men after being summoned, and the number of militia increased considerably, from less than 20 to nearly 40. The number of archers has also reached 10, and the number of undead has also reached 9. However, there is a problem, and that is that all the newly summoned soldiers are level 1! "It's bad, at that time, I just thought about Grandpa Mao's "more people are more powerful", and I forgot that there are more people and more food! Before this battle, they had to eat two or three bighorn sheep a day, and this time there are so many more people who can't tell how much they eat in a day, and there are giants, just by looking at their figures, they know that the amount of food must be fatal. Thinking of this, I shook my head helplessly, telling myself that this is not a game, it is reality, and it is impossible for the army to fight without logistics. However, when I saw the goblins collecting supplies, I felt hope again. ''Perhaps, it's also a good choice to feed the war with war. Soon, though, the system's prompt shattered my dreams.
[The system prompts that this battle will consume a total of 3 gold coins, and the cost of this battle will be paid by the system, and the host will pay for the war consumption from next time.] 】
''Little zero, this is...''
[Little Zero: Host, fighting a war is fighting for money, you should understand this truth. Arrows from bows and arrows, spears that cannot be recovered, bombers from bombers, repairs to armor, first aid for the seriously wounded, all cost money. As a good host, of course, you have to learn to think about logistics. Therefore, the system does not pay for the host, but charges the host at a high price, which is also for the good of the host. And after the system collects the money, it will be full of ammunition, just like the new one. 】
Y's, it's been pitted by the system again, and Xiao Zero is a little wrong today. Forget it, let's think about the loot, this time there are more than 300 holy water alone.
I'm sure these robbers must have plundered some of the villages and towns, for more than 100 gold coins are not a few, but there are still a lot of gold and silver items found from the robbers. In just a few minutes, I had hundreds of gold and silver jewelry piled up in front of me, and these things alone were worth no less than those gold coins. The origin of these things is obvious, I don't think that the necklaces for the women were brought out of the house by the robbers, and I feel very upset at the thought of the villagers they have robbed and killed, even though they are my trophies. I have two things to do during this time of packing. First of all, I want to thank Mellon, thank you to my friends. I pulled out a knight card and pointed it at Mellon, choosing to confirm.
Mellon's body bloomed with a milky white light, and when the light dissipated, a little changed but refreshed Mellon stood there.
[Knight Mellon: LV2; Health: 700; Attack: 50-82; Armor: 4; Speed: Medium; Target: Ground; Comments: A loyal, tough melee warrior, he is a distant relative of the Barbarians, but is more handsome and cultured. Rumor has it that he was knighted simply because of his beard. 】
''Your Excellency. Mellon laughed, bared a mouthful of snow-white teeth, and bowed slightly to me. I smiled and nodded, and the communication between us was the same as when friends give gifts.
I upgraded Mellon, but I still brought up the upgrade screen, upgraded the two knight cards to a level 2, and dripped a drop of holy water on them. I don't really want to summon a second knight right now, I think it's going to feel like a substitute for Mellon. But in the past two days, I have understood, it is that I am thinking too much, and Mellon will not care about that. He cares about my safety, not his own status. It makes me happy because I have a friend who deserves to be delivered back. Actually, the soldiers of the system are absolutely loyal to me, but Mellon is the one who reassures me the most. Now that Mellon has a lot of work to do, he's going to be on the front and keep me safe at the same time, he's planning and executing it himself. As our strength grows, it is impossible for a knight to cope with it, and now, I am going to find another helper.
It's still the classic magic circle, or the classic image, the light is gone, and an uncle with a knightly sense and a sword in his hand appears quite seriously in this battlefield. The corpses and soldiers and robbers in the vicinity seemed to him as if they did not exist. He looked at me, the muscles of his face moved, and he made a very standard chivalric salute: "Knight Philip has seen my lord. Then he got up and looked at me. Mellon was a little surprised when he saw Philip, and then Mellon said to me solemnly: "My lord, Your Excellency Philip is a well-known excellent knight in our country, and he will definitely be a great help to you. After Mellon finished speaking, he and Philips saluted each other, and I probably saluted when I heard Mellon say this, although it felt awkward.
I have to say that compared with Mellon, Philip is obviously more in line with the earthlings' ideas about knights, but there is a little less knightly romance, but in terms of combat quality, Mellon is by no means lying. ''The encirclement was not formed, a wider attack surface was not formed. Philip had some thoughts on the battle we had just fought: "We have an absolute advantage, and a wider attack will not only not weaken our fighting power, but will also be able to annihilate them and let go as few enemies as possible." In the current situation, the less intelligence the enemy has, the more beneficial it is for us. Of course, we can also put some information out, wrong intelligence is more terrible than no intelligence. Listening to his analysis, I also admired him, after all, he is much more familiar with warfare than I am. However, Philip didn't say much about the battle that was over, and he was now more concerned about the next battle with the bandits and the construction of the defensive line. While the two knights were discussing the military situation, I also set out to do the second thing, which was to interrogate the prisoners...
The battlefield was quickly cleared, and the harvest was far beyond my imagination. In addition to gold coins and hundreds of gold and silver utensils, we found more than 500 silver coins and thousands of copper coins. It is worth as much as those gold coins. In terms of equipment, we found hundreds of weapons of all kinds and twenty pieces of working armor. Among the hundreds of gold and silver objects, there were many good things, such as gilded crosses, silver knives and forks, and even a finely made silver-encrusted pipe. I'm a little puzzled by these valuable luxuries, because there may be such a large amount of gold coins in an ordinary town, but few people can afford to use them. Even the mayor of the town is reluctant to use these things.
But the robber captive's answer cleared my doubts. The Ron Bandits did raid a border town of the Free Cities League and several surrounding villages, killing hundreds of people and looting on a rampage. While passing through the border between Subic and the Free Cities Alliance, a small Subic lord refused to pay the robbers a "protection fee", and with the connivance of local officials, more than a thousand robbers surrounded and conquered the manor, and they killed the lord's family and robbed everything of value. I don't have much to say about these villains, but I'm not going to kill them now, I'd better give them to the townsfolk of Bieber, as a gift to show our relationship.
After the cleanup, I asked the skeleton soldiers to dig a pit and dispose of the corpses, and there was a plague or something in the province. The work went on all morning, and we were not idle, looking for scattered bandits and extracting more information from our captives. We learned that the arrival of the large army of the bandit group will be tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and that the other bandit groups may also follow at that time, otherwise there would be no need to send such an advance brigade to explore the way, in order to cover the advance of the large army. The task is heavy, but the hardest task is not here, in Bieber Town. You know, the situation is different now, it's strange that such a force is in the town, and the town doesn't suspect it, I have to explain it to the people.
--------------
Outside Biebertown, a peculiar force was lined up outside the town, a multi-racial mixed force that no one had ever seen, and the behemoth as high as the wall was even more oppressive. Sweat fell from the archer's face, and his hand gripped the bow tightly. There was a sense of tension in the air. I'll admit that my approach wasn't very good, and there were already two arrows stuck in the ground not far from us, which I had expected, but it was also the best way to promote cooperation. Mellon, me, and I, shouted, "Hey! Don't let the arrows go, it's us, the ones who killed the bears, remember us? The archers looked at each other, but still did not let their guard down. ''We've brought reinforcements, let's two go in and see the mayor, okay?'' ''The sentry on the wall hesitated and told us he was going to the mayor and told us to wait.
After a while, the door opened, but only the two of us entered. We walked in, and the whole town greeted us with puzzled eyes.
''Town Office''
I met the mayor again, but this time we met, and it was tense. ''Young sir, I don't know where you've brought so many strange people from, and it seems a bit too much if you still use the word of a tourist, but anyway, I hope you bring good news. ''Mayor Mario's face was calm as he spoke. ''Mr. Mayor, I'm here to help Bieber. The people outside are all my men, we eliminated the advance brigade of the robbers, and now we stand with the town to defend against the bandits. I'm being honest. Without the gratitude and excitement that the head of the town in the novel feels when he hears that the protagonist has come to his rescue, the mayor of the town is still so calm, but his eyes have changed a little. ''How can I trust you?'' He asked calmly. ''You should know that, Mr. Mayor, I brought you a couple of robbers last time, and you should have greeted him. This time we brought dozens of captives, and you can ask them properly. And you've seen our strength, we didn't attack the town, but the two of us came here to talk to you, our purpose is already obvious, isn't it? The mayor smiled when he heard my words: "Mr. Li, I see sincerity in your eyes. I know you're not ordinary, you're an authentic Oriental, and you have a knight of high warrior strength as a guard, and you've shown me a troop now, and there are so many races among them, but none of them are of the same race as you. You are full of mystery, which is a characteristic of the Orientals. I'm not going to ask where your troops came from, I'm not going to ask you who you are, I just want to ask you, are they credible? ‘’
''Please feel free to give them your back.' I nodded affirmatively.
''Very good'' Mayor Mare nodded as well, getting up and walking to the door. The gate was opened, and the gate was crowded with bewildered townspeople. The mayor looked around and loudly announced, "Friends are not enemies, let the robbers go, reinforcements are coming!" ‘’
Thunderous cheers erupted in the town, the sentinels opened the gates excitedly, and the majestic troops entered the town in order, and the people on the roadside extended their warmest greetings to them. Throw at the captives everything they can throw without killing them. Our men accepted the call and entered the town of Bieber.
