Chapter 179: Spoils of War
In addition to weapons, armor, horses, griffons, and captives, I also confiscated all the grain that Marquis Roy had bought in Sanka. After the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info was burned by Gondor and Rimaru once, Marquis Roy directly bought enough food for 25,000 people to eat for a month in Sanka Town, although almost half of it was eaten during this time, but there was still a lot left.
I was happily looting for booty while Reginald led his troops directly towards Marquis Roy, who was still surrounded in the middle of the battlefield, and Marquis Roy rode out of the heavy cavalry unit and stood with Reginald. The two of them whispered something there at first, and then the more they talked, the more excited they became, the louder they talked, and finally they quarreled directly. I can hear what they're arguing about here, probably because Roy's second son has been asking Reginald to help him deal with me, but Reginald refused, and after saying a few good words or being rejected, Roy began to break the news.
The content of Roy's revelations probably includes the following, Roy and Reginald went to peek at the maid's bath together when they were children, but they were caught, Roy was very stupid at the time to admit that he pulled Reginald to peek, and was beaten up. and when they grew up, the two of them went to Slev to fool around together, and they were caught back, and as a result, the two of them were severely repaired together. Anyway, all kinds of troubles when they were together were constantly exposed by Roy and Reginald, and the soldiers on the battlefield were stunned.
In the end, the two people directly drew their respective weapons and fought there, and the soldiers behind them could only stupidly watch their respective commanders go head-to-head. I didn't bother to pay attention to the two of them who were fighting there, so I arranged for the soldiers to collect the spoils of war on the battlefield, and the orc warriors and wolf knights, two classes with plundering skills, were responsible for carrying the corpses on the battlefield, and then looted all the equipment, gold coins and other things hidden in my arms without anyone paying attention. After the looting is completed, it will be handed over directly to the undead, let the undead move back to the base, and transform these corpses into skeleton warriors, which can be regarded as making the best use of things, as for what to do with the part of the undead other than the skeleton, I don't care so much.
Once the corpses were disposed of, the remaining warriors gathered all the captives together, the Terran infantry collected the captives' weapons and armor, the Chimera and the Frost Dragon watched over the captives in the air, the ranged archers collected the weapons on the battlefield, the vassal warriors gathered the horses, and the huntress recovered the horses that had escaped in battle.
Just as I was getting together with the heroes to count the loot and battle losses, Reginald walked towards me with the Marquis of Roy, who had already been beaten unconscious by him, and after walking in front of me, Reginald said to me: "I'll take this guy away, he won't come to trouble you again, the rest of the heavy cavalry didn't surrender to you just now, it's not a prisoner, I'll take it." Anyway, these captives of yours are the regular army of the Empire, what are you going to deal with? ”
"Okay, you can take those heavy cavalry with you. As for the captives, you see that I need manpower at this time, and I will let them go after they help me finish building the city, and besides, these people left the border without permission and came to trouble me with Roy's guy, they should be considered rebels, right? Just leave it to me to take care of it, so that His Majesty the King doesn't have to worry. I waved my hand generously and said with a smile.
"Betraying you, there are more than 10,000 people, you want to swallow them all, and your appetite is too big, right? Beware of choking yourself to death! Reginald's face changed when he said this, and he said to me in a caring tone: "Aren't there more than 10,000 people who need money to eat or something?" Do you have that much money? I see that you still leave these guys to me to deal with, I can take them to the northern fortress, let them go to the front, and help you out of anger, what do you think? ”
"Not good." I refused bluntly, Nima, are you stupid to be Lao Tzu? These soldiers are ready-made combat power, and the threat of the dark elves is imminent, I need troops here, you want to take people away with a few words, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?
"Eh, why are you so disobedient? I'm telling you, you ......" Seeing that Reginald was going to continue to ramble, I took out the note I had just made, shook it at him, and then put it in my arms. I knew that you couldn't believe what this guy said, but fortunately I made a note at the time, otherwise I would have to follow the guy for a long time.
"You...... Okay, okay, if you want to keep it, don't blame me for not reminding you if something happens, these are all veteran oils, and they are not as easy to deal with as you imagined. Huh! Reginald shook his head and said, "Kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!" "Kind? I think you're greedy.
Seeing that there was no advantage to take advantage of, Reginald was about to carry the Marquis of Roy to lead the team away, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned his head again and salivated at me with an ugly face and said, "I said, where is my daughter-in-law?" Shall I take it back for a few days? I promise to treat her better than my son, and I won't let her suffer at all. "According to Reginald's plan, he originally wanted to come to the rescue with the army when my situation was critical, and then rely on the savior to take Ellie directly, but now the original plan does not work, so he has to change the way.
"It's okay to go, and besides, Ellie is not your daughter-in-law." I was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with the guys, so I turned my head and continued to do post-war statistics with the heroes.
"Eh, I said why are you like this, what's wrong with letting Ellie go with me? Anyway, in the future, Ellie will definitely be from our Clives family, so let her cultivate a relationship with my son first. Reginald continued to say with a grim face.
"First of all, I didn't promise to marry Elle to your son." Annoyed by Reginald, I looked up at him impatiently and said, "Secondly, Ellie told me that she only marries the same person who wins her fight, and wait until your son beats Ellie." "After saying that, I was afraid that I would continue to be harassed by Reginald, so I walked directly to another place with the hero, leaving Xiao Dai and Lao Pu behind to stop Reginald, who might follow.
Ignoring the shouting Reginald, he led the heroes to a quieter place and sat down. In total, more than 200 hussars were captured in this battle. The light cavalry unit can be said to be the most lost unit of Marquis Roy's army, except for the griffons. The officers who led the light cavalry were all killed in the battle, and none survived, but this is normal, who told those officers to dress so harassingly one by one, and who did not hit them when the soldiers attacked?
When they first entered the forest, they were directly eliminated in the scout battle of more than 500 people, and then in the following harassment battle, the light cavalry unit lost more than 300 people. In the final battle, it was a tragedy for the light cavalry to charge from both flanks, being pressed and beaten by the huntress and wolf knights on one side, and the chimera from the air on the other, not to mention how miserable.
The crossbowmen captured more than 1,300 people, and the death rate of the crossbowmen's troops was more than half, which was still decisive enough for them to surrender at the last moment, otherwise there might not be even a thousand people left. Surrounded by the undead, cavalry, and the system air force, it was a wise choice to surrender decisively.
The Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards together captured more than 4,000 people, and as a melee unit on the front line, they were really abused by the combination of Mountain Giants and Minotaur warriors. And the task of guarding at night is usually entrusted to them, since they entered the forest, they have not slept well for a day, and now there are people squatting there and squatting and falling asleep directly. A few of the sleeping guys would suddenly jump up from the ground, shouting "enemy attack" or something, and then they would be pinned to the ground and beaten by other awake captives.
From the beginning of entering the forest to the end of the decisive battle, the Imperial Guards and Imperial Guards lost nearly 8,000 casualties, making them the two units with the largest number of battle losses.
Then there were the most conscious logistic soldiers who surrendered, and there were no losses at all, except for the fact that they were attacked and killed by the Naga when they went to the river to fetch water at the beginning. In addition to some of the 2,000 logistics soldiers who were killed in the ensuing harassment battle, there are still more than 1,800 logistics troops left, including 50 griffon trainers.
In the end, there was a heavy cavalry force of more than 800 people, which was considered the most valuable captive among the captives, and the empire would cost hundreds of gold coins to train and equip a heavy cavalry. Moreover, the war horses ridden by the heavy cavalry are all good horses, not only with excellent weight-bearing capacity, but also with excellent endurance and pump running, otherwise these war horses would not be able to wear dozens of pounds of iron armor, and they also rode nearly four hundred pounds of knights on their backs to charge.
In this way, with the logistics troops, the number of prisoners in this battle is less than 9,000, which is not as many as the more than 10,000 people that Reginald said. I knew that what came out of that guy's mouth was not even a punctuation mark, and I really didn't want to hear a word of truth from him.
After the battle, the level of the heroes and the system warriors has also been improved, and the level of the mountain giants and minotaur warriors who have been fighting on the front line has generally increased to about level eight, and the level of the warriors who have killed more enemies has been directly increased to level ten. The level of other classes has also generally been raised to level three or above, and most of the soldiers have comprehended at least one skill, and their combat effectiveness has been significantly improved.
