William was in the earthen house, listening to Old John's summary of the battle.

In the first bloody battle since the beginning of winter, William and the others repelled the attack of thousands of lizardmen, but they also paid a heavy price.

"Lord Baron, after counting, in this battle, there were 547 lizardmen who died on the spot, and 122 lizardmen who were still alive but had lost their ability to fight. Obey your commands, and we will kill them one by one! Old John said in a heavy tone.

William nodded solemnly, indicating that he knew, "In other words, we killed a total of 669 lizardmen!" ”

"Yes, Lord Baron!" Old John nodded.

There were 973 lizardmen in this batch.

In other words, William and the others killed more than two-thirds of the lizardmen.

This is an impressive achievement in every way.

As for such a thing as total annihilation, William never considered it!

It's too difficult!

It's just that so many lizardmen escaped, and I don't know what will happen in the future?

William had a little headache, but he still remembered that the scene that appeared in the magic mirror was full of lizardmen.

Never mind! The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth! Nothing to worry about! William comforted himself.

At this time, Old John suddenly asked, "Lord Baron, what are you going to do with the corpses of so many lizardmen?" ”

"Processing?" William's face was stunned, and he quickly returned to normal, and asked, "What do you think should be done?" ”

"Lord Baron, when other lords encounter a similar situation, dig a pit and bury it together, and the weeds on this land will grow luxuriantly in the coming year! It's common to pile up the corpses and burn them! Old John showed William the method.

"Buried? Go up in flames? William frowned, weighed it in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to let Old John burn the body, when suddenly William thought of a person in his previous life, a man at the top of the food chain - Bei Ye!

William still remembers that when Bei Ye traveled through the swamp, he showed the skill of eating lizards or crocodiles.

William thought to himself, in fact, ignoring the fact that the lizardmen stood on two legs, and the lizardmen were more like beasts than people.

In addition to the development of the brain, another important ability of human beings to become the spirit of all things is to be able to eat all kinds of wild beasts from flooding to common, then to rare, and finally to protect animals.

William thought to himself, since the beasts can eat it, then the lizardmen can eat it too, as long as they are not poisonous!

It just so happens that this meat can meet the material needs of the villagers to eat meat.

Thinking of this, William changed his words and said, "Old John, we don't burn or bury it!" ”

"Then we have to ......, Lord Baron," Old John was puzzled.

William said directly, "Old John, you go to the hunters in the village, recruit another group of people, whether the villagers or the wild slaves, and then set up a butcher factory!" ”

"Butcher's Workshop?" Old John was even more confused, what is this?

William didn't sell it, and directly explained, "Yes, the butcher's factory! Mainly responsible for meat dissection and decomposition! ”

"Meat dissection and decomposition? Lord Baron, do we have so much prey? ”

"Aren't these lizardmen a natural source of meat? The first thing you do when you set up a butcher shop is to dispose of these lizardmen, wash them, cut out their flesh, and sort the entrails and blood! By the way, try not to destroy their scales! When the time comes, I'll leave it to Bud to see if he can help our escort get a sturdy set of armor. ”

William said imaginatively.

"......," said old John, who had been speechless from the shock, came to his senses for a while, "Yes, Lord Baron! ”

William now had an unprecedented reputation among the villagers and wild slaves of the small village of Nisse with his victory.

William's prestige is rising!

Even Old John didn't dare to see something unpleasant like before, so he couldn't help but admonish.

William nodded with satisfaction at Old John's attitude.

He pondered for a moment, and then asked Old John, "Old John, what about our casualties?" ”

As soon as he said this, Old John's tone was particularly heavy.

He said in a low tone, "Lord Baron, five of the six Guardian Squad Captains have been injured in varying degrees of severity. ”

"Of the sixty members of the convoy, thirty-two were killed on the spot or later, and nine were seriously wounded and disabled."

"Three hundred servants, the worst weaponized and the least trained, a full one hundred and eighty-three died, and nineteen were not dead but disabled!"

William smiled bitterly when he heard this, this time it was a victory, but it was definitely a miserable victory!

He pondered for a moment, then said to Old John, "Old John, I said that I would share the glory with them, slaves and villagers!" ”

Old John nodded approvingly.

William then continued to speak his mind.

"The living wild slaves, including those who are disabled and not dead, are abolished as slaves, and they are immediately given the status of freedmen in the small village of Nisse, and from then on they will be paid accordingly, the same as the other villagers! Also, when spring comes, I will give them a field for each of them to cultivate! ”

If he can defeat the lizardman, then the entire dark forest is in his pocket, and after clearing the wasteland, there is a lot of land, and there is nothing to worry about.

If you can't make it, then don't say anything, just take what William said as a fart and forget it.

Old John wanted to say something when he heard that William wanted to divide the fields of the wild slaves, but when he thought of the corpse-strewn scene, he retracted into his stomach.

William continued, "As for the dead servants, they will not die in vain! ”

"Old John, you go and tell their family."

"Tell them that one of them will be granted freedmen, and that I will reward them with a sum of gold. This gold coin is reserved for the families of these servants who died in battle. I will not deprive it! They can choose to redeem their freedom from me with gold, and of course they can go and buy other things! I won't stop it! ”

"Lord Baron, your kindness is enough to light up the entire night sky!" Old John bowed and said with respect.

"It's just a trivial thing." William smacked his tongue and said disapprovingly.

"As for the Guards who died in battle, Old John, you go and hold a grand ceremony to bury these Guards! I want the whole village of Nisse to know that if it weren't for these dead heroes, they wouldn't be able to stand here! They are enough to gain all the respect! ”

"Yes, Lord Baron!" John Sr. agreed.

"Their families will receive a generous bonus, and if there is anyone in the family who is willing to join the convoy, as long as the conditions are not too bad! I'm okay with that! ”

"As for the official escort members who are still alive, and the six escort team leaders, when their injuries are almost healed, I will arrange for them to come to see me!"

"How are you going to reward them, Lord Baron?"

"Strength, and honor! When the winter passes, maybe a new knight will be born among them, even a knight! ”

Old John suddenly breathed hard when he heard this!
