As the sky brightened and the sun rose, Hammondale finally regained his calm after a night of fuss.

The snow finally stopped after a long time, and the sun reappeared, and the dark clouds above the sky were swept away, replaced by a blue, unspeakably clear sky.

Some of the people who had the good fortune to witness the Centaur fleeing, such as Old Kobe and Old Saida, opened their doors with confidence and boldness, and ran out into the street happily.

With their loud cheers, the whole of Hammondale boiled again, and after learning that the elven invaders had been defeated and fled by the lord, almost all the lords poured out of their homes, singing and dancing in every street.

Then the lords spontaneously organized themselves and rushed in the direction of the castle with cheers, and the collapse of the castle brought some surprise to the lords, but these surprises were soon replaced by endless sorrow.

In the open space in front of the castle, the soldiers of the Lord's Guard, who had fought fiercely all night, were dragging their tired feet, throwing the corpses of their enemies into the ruins of the castle, and searching for the remains of their comrades as much as possible to prepare them for burial.

In this battle, the Lord's Guard also suffered heavy losses, with almost all the veterans killed and the recruits suffering some damage in the final battle with the centaur warriors.

The corpses of the soldiers who had been killed while guarding the secret passages underground were also brought out by the lord during his retreat, and after the battle, all the corpses of the soldiers who could be found were neatly lined up in the open field, covered with their white cloaks, and their names were written on them in the blood of the enemy, so that they could be easily identified.

The bodies of some soldiers were buried under the rubble, including the big-eared prisoners of war who died in the castle, and the names of these soldiers were ordered by the lord to be registered.

The fallen Lord's Guard soldiers were all natives of Hammondal, and soon some of the lords who could not find their relatives among the surviving soldiers cried and threw themselves on the neat bodies of those platoons, desperately searching for the last traces of their relatives.

There were also some lords who could not even see the bodies of their loved ones, and wept silently in front of the ruins of the castle.

When all the corpses were sorted out, the lord ordered the ruins of the castle to be set on fire.

This was to prevent the corpses from decomposing and causing the plague, while also further preventing the possibility of enemies escaping from under the rubble.

Blazing flames rose into the sky.

Low sobs began to appear in the crowd, and then slowly coalesced.

It was a morning of joy and a morning of sorrow.

Chen Jian looked at the tear-jerking scene in front of him, and his heart was also sad. Behind him, Bishop Lin Ze was sweating profusely to treat the injured half-elves and others.

All the injured people are waiting in line for treatment according to the severity of their injuries, and Bishop Lin Ze's medical skills have grown quite a bit since the lord came to Hammondal, especially the "healing method" in body magic, and his proficiency and comprehension are swishing up like riding on Bracada's magic airship, and he is about to break through to the expert level.

The remaining big-eared monsters were also waiting in line, and the appearance of these guys startled Bishop Lin Ze, but after some explanation from the captain of the half-elf guard, Bishop Lin Ze had no choice but to accept these patients with a bitter face.

"Chief Fu, you go and talk to the people, and organize some people to guard the gate of the town first, so that the scattered centaurs don't get dizzy and run back to disturb them!"

Finally holding back the tears that were about to well-up in his eyes, Jian Chen turned his head and whispered to the old butler who was following him: "The soldiers are too tired, they need to rest and rest now!" This matter is in trouble for you! ”

The old butler, who had been hiding in the Vierning Church before, was also in tears at this time, and when he heard the lord's order, he answered and hurried away.

After a while, a large group of former militiamen and young men who had volunteered to fight left the crowd and headed in the direction of the town gate under the leadership of the old butler.

A soldier led three silver Pegasus horses to Chen Jian's face, these three silver Pegasus Horses were left behind by the three Pegasus Knights who had been killed when the Captain of the Half-Elf Guard led the team to attack the castle gate, and these Pegasus horses, which had lost their owners, later landed on this clearing and were caught by the guard soldiers.

This was also the only decent point of loot that Jian Chen captured in this battle.

The collapse of Hammondale Castle not only buried most of the enemy, but also buried all the equipment and supplies carried by the elven army, as well as the silver Pegasus mounts, under the rubble.

In this battle, the only trophies that the lord finally obtained were some spears left by the centaurs and the three silver pegasus, and even the equipment of the five elven pegasus knights who were killed outside the city was not left, because their equipment had been damaged when they fell.

There were also more than twenty centaur captives who did not have time to escape or were injured and could not escape.

At the same time, the lord paid a huge price for a castle and all the living materials and dozens of lives, which can be described as a heavy loss, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The three silver pegasus horses were a little resistant at first in the face of their new masters, but they must have been domesticated for a long time, and the wildness in their bones had long since disappeared, and they soon accepted their fate and obeyed obediently.

Jian Chen thought about it and turned over one of the flying horses. He has been in this world for so many years, and he has long learned to ride a horse, but he doesn't know what the difference between this pegasus and an ordinary horse is.

The guards on the side were taken aback by the lord's bold actions and stepped forward to dissuade them.

None of us have ever ridden this Pegasus, so if the lord falls from the sky, it will be bad.

Chen Jian didn't care about this, and insisted on giving it a try, just as the female magician had recovered her spirit after treatment at this time, and seeing that the lord was so stubborn, she kindly blessed him with a qi magic "volley", which can make people fall from a high place without being harmed, and finally let everyone breathe a sigh of relief and stop dissuading.

The lord who got his wish first let Pegasus run around the place a few laps to get used to the feeling of riding on it.

After discovering that there didn't seem to be much difference from ordinary horses, the lord rode the pegasus for a while, and then amid the exclamations of everyone, the silver pegasus spread a pair of white and beautiful wings and carried the lord into the sky.

Whether it was in the previous world or the current world, the lord was undoubtedly flying into the blue sky for the first time, and it was a shame to say it, the lord had never even taken a plane on the earth before, and the train during the Spring Festival was crowded many times every year.

After the initial nervousness and fear passed, the novelty made the lord's originally depressed mood slowly improve and become excited, if it weren't for the fear of bad effects, he really wanted to roar loudly to vent.

Facing the rising sun and the morning breeze, the lord hovered above the sky, taking in a bird's-eye view of his territory from an unprecedented perspective.

The lord soon discovered a problem, although the silver pegasus flew very steadily, but when doing some movements, the knight on its back was in great danger - those elves did not know whether they were very confident in their riding skills and skills or had not thought about this problem at all, and the saddle on the back of the pegasus was not even protected at all.

The lord was very angry about this.

This is a horse flying in the sky, not a horse running on the ground, if the flying horse is frightened and rolls over or something, he must not fall into a pulp?

This must be improved in a way! The lord's mind raced through the design schemes.
