"Ahem..."After a long time, Qin Feng stood up with the support of Luo Wei and Hank, and waved his hand to signal the two to let go of themselves: "I don't need you, although I am too tired, I can still stand." ”

"Are the soldiers back?" Qin Feng leaned against the low wall and exhaled.

"Yes, young master, the pursuing soldiers have all returned, but the harvest is not much, the speed of the jackals is too fast, and they are very familiar with the forest, often run into the forest and disappear, I am afraid that there will be an accident if I continue, so I will blow the trumpet and take a truce." Luo Wei moved to stand behind Qin Feng.

Leaning on the low wall, Qin Feng looked out of the city. The farmland that had just been harvested was already muddy, and the townspeople, who had received the news of the victory, ran out happily and cleaned up the battlefield under the arrangement of the steward. The wounded fighters were arranged together for treatment, the bodies of the fallen soldiers were put together, and the women were grooming them.

"You're doing the right thing." Qin Feng nodded, looked at the corpse of the fallen soldier, frowned, hid the grief in his eyes, and asked. "Hmm...... How many warriors died? ”

"There were no casualties among the townspeople, and the levies had suffered few casualties because of their early retreat, and only about 100 of the 200 men were slightly wounded, most of them strained their shoulders. However, it was the youth who suffered the greatest losses, fighting the Jackals in close quarters and suffering the greatest casualties, with more than 180 wounded in 300 people, of whom 120 were killed. Rowell lowered his head and said sadly. These soldiers were all trained by his own hands, and he was very uncomfortable with such heavy casualties in the first battle.

Qin Feng was taken aback, although he knew that there would definitely be casualties, but he didn't expect that there would be such a large number of casualties, and more than half of the direct attrition was achieved. And those who are injured, minor injuries are fine, and serious injuries are one thing, with the current medical methods in this world, whether they can survive is one thing, and even if they survive, I am afraid they will not be able to return to the army.

"It's all my fault," Qin Feng blamed himself, "If I hadn't let the levies retreat early, they wouldn't have faced the pressure of the gnolls." ”

Lowell, Hank, and Will on the side were a little moved, and hurriedly said, "Young Master....."

Qin Feng waved his hand to interrupt their words, and smiled reluctantly: "Don't comfort me, I'm not a person who likes to feel sorry for myself after the war, just sigh with emotion." This war is inevitable, and so is sacrifice. ”

"Young Master, it's not your fault." Hank looked at Qin Feng solemnly and said: "It was you who arranged all this early, it was you who took us to watch the invasion of the jackals, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would all be turned into corpses today, devoured by wild dogs and crows, it's not your fault!" ”

Qin Feng looked up at Hank, his scarred face was covered with traces of time, but those blazing eyes, Qin Feng could see seriousness in them.

"Thank you," Qin Feng smiled relievedly, "Thank you very much." ”

……………………..

In the forest behind the town of Boole.

A group of people in heavy armor, but half as tall as ordinary people, hid in the bushes, and a man was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a long cylindrical object in his hand in the direction of Bulltown.

"Eh, there's no sound, who won?" The sound of urns sounded on the side, and the grass rattled and rattled, and then out of it came a big head, a big nose, a big round face, and a long beard dragging on the ground.

"Go back, who told you to come over," the man slapped the latter's head, "ready to go back to the city." ”

"Huh? Aren't we going to help them defend the city? The man in the grass patted his head, followed the man to his feet, and while dusting off the dirt from his buttocks, he cried out: "My ass is numb, and I have been waiting here all night, and now I am not treacherous to go back?" ”

"They've all won, what are we going to do!" The man didn't look back, put the cylindrical object away and put it in the backpack on his waist, and let out a whistle from his mouth, and for a while, the originally empty woodland suddenly drilled out the same head as the man just now, "Prepare to go back to the city." ”

"Huh... Wait, who won the battle? ”

- "Who else could it be, those tall and thin men. The man said casually, but his heart was very solemn.

"Eh, how can those tall and skinny guys win? Is this impossible? Let me think, how is this possible? This ......."

"It seems that the Bolton family seems to have a great descendant, but it's a pity that this opportunity was made, and I thought that the hundred-year commitment could be solved today." The man turned to look into the distance, slapped someone awake who was still in broken thoughts, and led the others back up the mountain.

………………….

Back at the Baron's Mansion, the housekeeper was already waiting in the study, Qin Feng changed out of the bloodstained armor under the maid's clothes, changed into clothes, pushed the door and walked into the study.

This was the late old baron's study, so he rarely used it, but today the butler was waiting for him here, which made Qin Feng feel a little strange.

"Young Master,"

"Why are you waiting for me here, won't I let you go to the conference hall?" Qin Feng put his hands behind his back, looked around in the study, and then came to the desk. There were a few books scattered on the desk, Qin Feng picked them up and looked at them, all of them were books about orcs. It seems that the old baron had specially checked it before the expedition, because only the butler and he could enter the study, so it had been placed here untouched.

"Young master, although the crisis of the jackals has passed, you have not inherited the position of a baron for a long time, and in the long run, people will definitely be unstable." The butler bowed his head and said, as an old butler who has served the old baron all his life, the Bolton family is almost his own home, and what is beneficial to the family is what he has to do.

"Has anyone started to make a little move down there?" Qin Feng sneered, the little barony has so many things, these people are really blind, are they about to jump out so soon?

"Uh-huh....." The housekeeper paused and organized the language: "No, it's just that someone below has started gossiping, I'm afraid ......"

"What are you afraid of..."Qin Feng slapped the table fiercely, and there was a loud bang.

The guard, who thought something was wrong, pushed the door in.

Qin Feng waved his hand, exhaled, signaled that they were okay, and let them out. The people he hates the most in his life are these people, he has nothing to do, but he always likes to do some small actions in private. It was the same in the previous life, and it is also here, heh... It's really in response to the habit of human beings who like infighting, and there are always these people wherever they go.

"Young Master......" The housekeeper was startled, he didn't know if he had said the wrong thing.

"You send people to keep an eye on them, I don't care if they gossip and play small actions, if they dare to do anything that harms the interests of the territory, you don't need to inform me, they will all be arrested for me." Qin Feng slapped the table, exhaled a breath of depression, and gritted his teeth and said. "And I still need them to admit it? Now I'm a baron. ”

"Hmm..." the housekeeper wanted to explain a few words to them, but when he looked up and saw Qin Feng's angry expression at this time, he wisely closed his mouth and carefully left the study.

Qin Feng looked at the old butler who left, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and he sighed.

Although the old housekeeper is organized and has a very good ability, the principle of long-term stability makes him work is to calm things and endure them. But is it possible to do so in this situation? After the war, Qin Feng has always had worries and worries in his heart, there are many jackals who have run away, and there will definitely be jackals who will run back. It is uncertain whether the orcs will raise an army to retaliate for the defeat of the gnolls.

But whether they come or not, he has to be ready.
