Chapter 290: Scraping the Ground, Senbo, Asking for Help

Two days later, the 1st Wolf Cavalry Squadron of the "Bloody Mary" and Naga Zhukov quietly drove out of the Rhineberg under the guidance of the Great Cloud. Because it was the first outlying area operation, for the sake of prudence, Moriarty personally sat on the goblin airship, and of course the on-the-spot command was handed over to Clausewitz.

"Inform Toraf that there is Vader Manor ahead. According to the Magic Sandbox Detection, there is only one small team of Imps in the Manor. Command him to strike immediately, and be sure not to let one go. ”

Through the guò flag, Clausewitz's instructions were quickly and accurately conveyed to the ground. Immediately, the wolf cavalry squadron erupted in cheers, the clarion call before the Beamon warriors greeted the glorious battle. Then, the wolf cavalry formed a column and rushed towards the distant target like a rushing torrent.

But in a moment, before the little devils in the manor could react, the first wolf cavalry squadron had already roared into the messy village. Then, a snow-like sword light came and went, and one by one, the demon's collection or severed arms fell to the ground like harvested fruits and vegetables. Filthy blood accompanied by cries of pain "whitewashed" the already bone-ridden village as if it were a ghost domain.

In just ten minutes, the little demons in the manor had all been cleared. The wolf cavalry, which occupies an absolute advantage, has zero casualties, and even some backward wolf cavalry have not yet seized the opportunity to use their knives.

After thoroughly confirming the safety of the battlefield, the Great Cloud slowly landed in the open space in front of the village. Then, a large number of human strong laborers, led by a few probationary stewards, quickly ran out of the airship and rushed into the village. Began to search for all kinds of materials that could still be used. Of course, it is impossible to have a human survivor looking at the scene, so there is no need to bother with this piece.

Considering the long time required for "searching-scraping-land", the 1st Wolf Cavalry Squadron was divided into two squads to serve as a cordon and defense line on the outskirts of the village.

"It seems that a qiēshun lì." Stepping off the airship, Moriarty nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the few human apprentices who were planning a temporary storage yard in the open space next to him.

"A wolf riding squadron dealing with more than a dozen little devils is naturally like a lion fighting a rabbit. But we also have to prevent encountering a formed demon army later, after all, we only have a 'Bloody Mary', and it will be difficult to replenish once there are casualties. Clausewitz followed Moriarty. He reminded in a deep voice.

"Yes. The next operation is under your full command. If you can eat it easily, don't be polite, and if you find a hard 'hard bone', come back and 'shout'. As long as we ensure our own mobility and do not fall into a heavy encirclement or death situation, the initiative on the battlefield will always be in our hands. Moriarty smiled. Then he walked into the village. The old werewolf followed.

Vader Manor had previously been a direct domain of the Royanta family. It is known for its abundance of high-quality oats and cereals. But now lift your eyes to death. The whole village was littered with ruins, and there were rotting bones that had been eaten and gnawed. There was a pungent stench in the air, which made people smell sick.

"Let our people be careful not to touch the bones of the deceased. Prevention of plague diseases. After everyone returned to Rhineberg, they immediately isolated and washed their bodies, cut their hair, and did not bring poisonous insects such as lice into the castle. ”

After the catastrophe, the most important thing to prevent is the epidemic, and Moriarty does not want to send the plague, dengue fever and other virulent infectious diseases into his base camp while searching for supplies. Otherwise, with the existing sanitary conditions and the troubled and complex population in the fort, once the disease starts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control.

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Clausewitz was an old soldier, and naturally understood that plague and disease were the great enemies of the army. Sometimes, after a battle, not even as many soldiers died by the sword as they did at the hands of the sick.

"My lord, we've found the granary!" At this moment, a young midshipman ran to Moriarty's side in high spirits and bowed with joy on his face.

"Oh? What's going on inside? Moriarty raised an eyebrow.

The village of Vida is a major production town, so the first target of the clean-up operation was set here, and the purpose of the clean-up operation was self-evident, and it was natural that it was directed at food. Even if the Rhineberg reserve was still well stocked, and there were several allies to support the supplies one after another, no one would be surprised by the fact that they had too much food in their hands during the war. Moreover, in the next step, Olympus plans to further expand its army in order to grab greater benefits in the follow-up military operations of the Quad Alliance, so as long as there is an opportunity to accumulate material reserves, Moriarty will not let it go.

"After a rough count, the total is about 20,000 bushels. However, because the periphery of some of the grain stacks had been violently destroyed, the flour and other flour in them were damp, moldy, and moth-eaten. The trainee steward said quickly.

"20,000 bushels? It's very good, arrange someone to rush it immediately, and it must all be loaded before dark. As for the parts that have deteriorated, leave them alone for the time being. In addition, looking at the grain storage situation in each family, Vinda Manor is a rich village, and there should be surplus grain among the farmers before the demon invasion. Moriarty nodded and ordered. The probationary steward was also very excited when he received a word of praise, and immediately agreed to do something.

"Your Excellency, it seems that our plan is not bad. Demons are only interested in fresh flesh and blood, and will not eat whole grains such as flour and cereals unless absolutely necessary. Clausewitz on the side also showed a rare smile.

"Well, we don't do anything to these ownerless things. However, if there is any other human resistance in the wild, it is okay to take them in, but their personal belongings should not be touched. Moriarty nodded, and said again.

"Yes."

For example, in the current Rheinberg, although the new refugees are basically classified as serfs and servants, they are only temporarily deprived of their freedom and need to serve Olympus in exchange for food rations and a chance to survive, but all their personal property has not been confiscated or confiscated. And for this, even the most rebellious thorns have to admit that Rheinberg is much more humane than the other three great nobles.

It was busy until late afternoon, and the whole of Vader Manor seemed to be carefully combed by a fine-toothed comb. All the grain, iron, farming tools, and a few coins that could be found were carried onto the Great Cloud one by one. As for the remaining farmhouses, crude furniture, heavy wood, etc., they were not within the scope of the sweep, and remained in place to be reused after the end of the war of resistance against demons.

According to the prior agreement, all young porters traveling with the boat can receive an additional ration reward according to a percentage of the "final harvest". Therefore, although it is hard and dangerous, no one complains, but looks forward to the next time to get such a "business trip" opportunity to make extra money for himself and his family.

By nightfall, the airship had safely returned to the Rhineberg, and the 1st Wolf Cavalry Squadron and Naga on the ground had also arrived. Even after going out for a day, Zhukov did not have a chance to make a move, and he couldn't help but have the illusion of a boring outing.

Over the next few weeks, the Rhineberg clearance force was dispatched every other day or two. Of course, they are all day trips, and the results and gains are also big and small, and the overall satisfaction is satisfied. Occasionally, some human resistance forces and survivors hiding in remote villages or wilderness were found, and they were brought back with the airship.

Of course, these human beings who have survived tenaciously under the slaughter of demons are basically young and strong warriors or originally regular soldiers, and there are no old and weak, women and children. And after endless battles and killings, these humans basically have the strength of warriors at about two levels. Therefore, after consulting with White and others, Moriarty directly incorporated this group of people into the ranks of the regular army of Olympus. Even for some of them with outstanding qualifications, they will focus on training.

And just as the whole purge was about to come to an end, one evening, together with the returning 1st Wolf Cavalry Squadron, an unexpected guest met the new master of the Rheinberg with ecstasy.

"My lord, I am Lord Senbo's family knight, Hyluke, and I salute you!"

A middle-aged man in tattered iron armor stood respectfully in front of Moriarty, although he was only a fifth-level warrior, the thick bloody aura exuded from his body was enough to impress.

"Lord Senbo?" Moriarty nodded, then glanced at Hadro on the side.

"Lord Senbo is a vassal of the 'Late Royanta Family' for generations, and his territory is close to his own family. However, because of the geographical location and the fact that there are many mountains and forests, it has never been very prosperous. Immediately, the old steward whispered to the sovereign.

"Lord Hadro?"

Obviously, Hyluke knew the old steward, but she didn't dare to speak lightly just now. Now seeing that the other party was actually a group of servants serving beside the young superior in front of him, Helok finally couldn't help but whisper.

"It's me."

Hadro glanced at the mid-rank knight as usual, and the latter bowed his head in disbelief at the stern gaze of the old man. Even if Hadro does not have any professional rank, as long as he is a "one-of-a-kind" who has been immersed in the Royanta system, everyone is afraid and respectful of the old man's previous iron-fisted style.

"Maybe you don't know it, so the Royanta family has been wiped out, and the current Rheinberg belongs only to this Moriarty. Master Ensberg is also my new lord. Taking a step forward, Hadrow shouted to Heluke.

"What? Extermination? Ensberg? ”

As if even more shocked than when he heard the news of the demonic invasion a year ago, the mid-rank knight suddenly raised his head and looked at the old man in a trance.

"Not bad. Lord Moriarty not only led the powerful legion to recover the Rhineberg, but also won the recognition of Viscount Salk, Viscount Merillen, and Baron Ensberg, and formed a strong four-party alliance with them, and will soon begin a counterattack against the demon legion. Saying this, Hadro narrowed his old eyes slightly: "Do you have any opinion on this?" ”

"Opinions... No! Can't! After all, Hyluke was also a member of the noble-circle, and immediately reacted, and immediately knelt down on one knee towards Moriarty, who was sitting on the highest: "My lord, please do your best to send troops to save the Sambo family!" (To be continued......)
