Chapter 472: Brunhilde

After more than an hour, the battle finally came to an end.

In such a world, the outcome of the duel between the top powerhouses can basically determine the rise and fall of a country and a nation. Prince Eston, who has lost all his superpowers and demigods, is an inevitable fate.

On the grand battlefield, corpses were strewn all over the field, rivers of blood flowed, damaged banners, armor, weapons and combat equipment were piled up, and the number of wounded soldiers who did not die was even greater.

Tens of thousands of servants were busy in the field, and some of the unwounded soldiers also joined in to help, treating their own wounded, collecting the remains of the dead soldiers and cremating them, and counting and registering the captured logistics and heavy materials in a timely manner.

Qin Feng patrolled the battlefield for a while, and finally came to the wounded barracks. It was overcrowded, and most of the clergy and priests were on the verge of depletion, so they had to be treated with surgeries and medicines by doctors and apprentices.

The healing spells of priests and priests can be described as fast and good, but their mana is limited, even if they are eighteenth-level high priests, there are a number of wounded soldiers who can be treated every day. What's more, the number of priests and priests in the legions of the empire is not large.

Fortunately, there are a large number of battlefield first-aid healing drugs brought over from the apocalyptic world, and the effect is also excellent, supplemented by a complete set of medical equipment, as long as it is not killed on the spot, there are basically no wounded who cannot be saved.

"How many soldiers are wounded?" He asked calmly.

"According to preliminary statistics, there will be no less than 90,000, of which the seriously wounded are close to 30,000, Your Majesty."

The chief officer in charge of medical logistics replied after saluting. Thanks to the protection of sophisticated magical equipment, the number of soldiers killed in battle on their side is not large, and most of them are wounded but do not die.

"There's enough medicine in the barracks, right?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the material reserves in this area are very sufficient, but the manpower is a little tight, and it can still cope with the past ......"

The chief officer looked at his expression and continued, "If we encounter another big battle of the same scale in the next month, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome. ”

Qin Feng estimated it in his heart and said, "For the time being, there shouldn't be too much fighting, and in addition, I will notify the rear and send more medical personnel over." ”

The empire had already opened a number of professional colleges and universities to train doctors and doctors in large quantities to make up for the lack of priests and priests, but this was not a one-time effort.

Before leaving, Qin Feng took a closer look at the environmental layout in the barracks for the wounded soldiers, and felt quite satisfied, many aseptic isolation and disinfection procedures in the world of science and technology had been completely moved, organically combined with the medical methods of this world, so that the recovery rate of the wounded soldiers reached an unprecedented new height. Taken together, even the Church Legion, which has a large number of priests and priests, is no match for the Empire in this respect.

He thought for a moment, and casually released a group recovery healing technique, and a milky white ball of light the size of a human head appeared in the air, with unparalleled vitality and vitality, and dots of light continued to pour out from the ball of light, falling on the wounded soldiers in the barracks. It's like a small bright galaxy.

Under the surprised and reverent gazes of the chief officers and doctors, countless healing lights fell one after another, healing the wounds on the wounded one by one, and even some dark wounds in the depths of the viscera were properly repaired under the effect of divine magic.

After a while, the more than two hundred wounded soldiers in the barracks were treated, and Qin Feng then released a deep sleep blessing magic spell, allowing their energy to fully recover from their deep sleep.

"Your Majesty, you are really too merciful."

The chief officer said with emotion, there is no shortage of powerful kings on the mainland, but it is really rare for a king who is willing to put down his body to treat ordinary wounded soldiers as a dignified demigod.

"Let's go to the next barracks."

Qin Feng smiled and said, this kind of thing is just a gesture for him, and he doesn't have so many inexplicable rules.

In this way, he looked at hundreds of wounded barracks before and after, and healed nearly 20,000 wounded soldiers in total, even with the divine power of the true god, he felt a little tired, and then returned to the camp to rest.

Although it was during the war, His Majesty the Emperor's residence was still quite luxurious, with a 10,000-year-old agarwood table, magic crystal lamp, gold sculptures, soft handmade tapestries, snow-white high-grade demonic beast skins on the ground, and a faint smell of the best incense in the air.

There weren't many pieces of music on the bookcase, so he sat down and took them over to review them one by one, and it didn't take long to finish them. The system in the army has become more and more perfect, and many generals and officials have their own responsibilities, and there are not many things that require him to personally intervene and make decisions.

With the announcement of the palace guards, Concubine Yun walked in from outside, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, that Prince Eston is unwilling to surrender, and he has committed suicide just now. ”

After Michelle died, the guards around this guy didn't last long before they were all killed, and he himself was stunned by Qin Feng and taken prisoner.

However, he still has a bit of backbone, and when he saw that the general trend was gone, he simply committed suicide.

"Dead is dead,"

Qin Feng said indifferently: "Go and ask those captured guys, which ones are willing to accompany him together, you can decide for yourself, I will never force them." ”

There were thousands of officials and nobles who were captured on the battlefield and surrendered afterwards, Qin Feng is now the time to employ people, so he treats them quite leniently, of course, if he wants to seek death, he will not stop him.

Yun Qijun nodded and continued: "The number of prisoners has been basically counted and counted, not counting those injuries and diseases, there are more than 410,000 people in total, what are you going to do with them?" ”

Before the start of the war, Prince Eston's total strength was as high as more than 1.3 million, but by the end of the war, more than 600,000 people had been killed, the rest were either wounded or captured and surrendered, and a small number of stragglers fled in the chaos.

Due to the carpet magic bombardment and the terrifying lethality of high-tech weapons, the number of injured soldiers is not as large as imagined.

"It's still the old rule, let them go to hard labor for three years, and if they perform well, they can be incorporated into the empire's legion in advance, and all the treatment is the same as that of the empire's soldiers."

Qin Feng said. Of course, warriors above the fifteenth rank and mages above the twelfth rank can be exempted from such restrictions, as long as they are willing to surrender, they can immediately obtain the status of official soldiers of the empire, as long as they are willing to accept the magical slavery contract to ensure their loyalty.

Yun Qijun nodded and wrote down his orders.

"By the way, the envoys of the Temple of Life and the Temple of the Goddess of Nature have asked to meet again, hoping to hold talks on the long-term cooperation between the two sides, what do you think of it?" She asked again.

Qin Feng groaned: "Is this...... Let's wait a little longer. ”

Yun Qijun said: "The empire is now in dire need of priests and priests, if we have negotiated with them earlier, the next campaign will be much smoother, and our army's casualties will be effectively reduced." ”

Qin Feng rubbed his eyebrows: "That's the case, but the price they offer is a bit high, so it's not easy to do." ”

Due to the short period of time since the founding of the country, it is an open secret that the army of the Star Shans Empire lacks a large number of priests and priests, so many churches of the gods have ideas about this.

The role of priests and priests on the battlefield cannot be ignored, and a strong enough corps of priests and priests can even make the difference between victory and defeat. Therefore, many other powerful countries on the mainland will choose to cooperate strategically with the church of a certain god, in exchange for a sufficient number of priests and priests to join their own armies, or invest a lot of financial and material resources to cultivate themselves, but this cycle is relatively long.

After the rise of the Xingshan Empire, the church envoys of many gods, including the God of War Church, took the initiative to come to the door, hoping that Qin Feng would allow them to freely spread their teachings within the empire, as well as a series of requirements such as giving the church land, protecting the church's legal property, and giving tax incentives. In exchange, they are willing to send a sufficient number of priests and clerics to help the Empire's legions on their conquests.

From the perspective of the neutral, the demands made by the church are not excessive, and both sides take what they need, as has been the case with many secular powers and churches in the past.

It's just that Qin Feng is reluctant to let his empire be affected by too many foreign religious forces, otherwise after he publicly canonizes himself as a god in the future, many things will not be easy to deal with. Anyway, with the apocalyptic world as a backing, the negative impact of the lack of a team of priests and priests is not great. As a result, although he had met with the envoys several times, he had been slow to reach an agreement.

Now, as the empire's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the military is getting stronger and stronger, Qin Feng doesn't have to worry anymore.

Ciudad Serraz.

This is one of the economic centers of the Bloman Empire in the southeast coastal region, with a population of tens of millions, extremely developed maritime trade, and the largest shipbuilding workshop in the empire, the largest natural deep-water port, and the annual fiscal tax is equivalent to the income of a medium-sized province, which is highly valued by the central government of the empire.

Today, it is the temporary capital of the Five Princesses, BrΓΌnnhilde, and the base camp of her forces.

In the study.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Eston, is that guy dead? ”

A melodious voice came from the throne.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Xingshan Empire did not hide the news, he committed suicide after being captured."

The courtier in charge of intelligence affairs bowed and replied.

"That'...... Is there any new movement in Qin Feng's legion now? ”

"They rested in Pumira for ten days, took over several neighboring provinces, and then continued eastward to attack the Great Prince's territory."

"It's not going to go this way, is it? After all, those provinces were places where the empire had ruled for thousands of years, and the army of the Star Shanian Empire was an outsider, so how could it be that they had not encountered resistance? ”

"There were indeed a few fights, but their army quickly took control, and after the thunderous execution of a group of nobles who led the trouble, basically no one dared to make trouble again."

The courtier's answer silenced the figure on the throne.

Among the forces vying for the throne, Prince Eston is considered to be the weaker faction, but he actually controls about one-fifth of the country's territory, and now he is defeated and killed, and the elite military strength under his command is lost, and the more than five million square kilometers of land are naturally unable to be kept, and it is difficult to take them back from the legions of the Xingshan Empire.

At the top of the throne sat a slender woman, with a lilac palace skirt, which was enough to be called a beautiful face, soft and charming with a touch of majesty. Bright eyes and bright teeth, jet-black eyebrows exude heroic spirit, Qiongkou Yao nose, as if it has been carefully carved. The cherry lips are not big, slightly ruddy, and delicate.

"The inheritance left by our ancestors can't just fall into the hands of outsiders, is there any way to get these territories back?" Brunhilde asked.
