Section 126 The Road to the Territory (6)

I don't know if it was because they were accustomed to obeying the orders of the regimental commander, or because of the fear brought by the undead warriors, the mercenaries who were lucky enough not to die on the battlefield stopped resisting, and for them, it was just a failed mission. ****

The casualties of the Templars and Amazonian warriors were very small, and the main battles were completed by the undead warriors, some of the mercenaries were more clever and had slipped out of the battlefield when Andre ordered them to stop resisting, and some of the dull ones were trapped in the middle by the undead warriors and became prisoners, and many mercenaries were wounded, and there were only ups and downs on the battlefield at this time.

"Guderian, you take someone to clean up the battlefield, don't leak those armor, weapons, and the pockets of the mercenaries who died in battle," Moon Shadow's words made the knight commander sweat profusely, but she herself pointed to a mercenary who looked like a squad leader unconsciously: "Take him, identify those dead, pack all the relics, wait for the opportunity to give them to their families later, bury the body on the spot, mark it, and keep it for later claim; Wolverly, you lead the men and the healers to treat the wounded......"

As the orders were given, the eyes of the remaining mercenaries softened a little when they looked at Moon Shadow, according to the conventions of the mercenary world, the victor had the right to dispose of all the loot and prisoners, and he was not obliged to treat the injured mercenaries, Moon Shadow did this not only to their surprise, but also to gain their limited respect.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Guderian and Vorveli also counted the results of the battle, and the Tianyue mercenary group died 2,864 people from the commander down; Captured (including the wounded) one thousand five hundred and sixty-four people.

"If you are captured, you must have the consciousness of being a captive, if you escape, I don't care if you kill a few more people, although you will not be sold into the slave market, you must be punished through hard labor......"

Moon Shadow doesn't want to be a slave trader. She didn't want to let go of these mercenaries easily, so she made a cameo appearance as a judge and sentenced more than 1,000 people to five years of hard labor---- according to her ideas. It may be a lot of land to find demonic beasts in your small territory, and I am afraid that there are few people to find. These mercenaries ...... The right to pay some price for their criminal slave hunting career, of course, there is also the problem of considering potential safety hazards, which is solved by Shen Baoer, a problem expert, a little trick, these mercenaries have been temporarily sealed.

Soentok is just one of the many ordinary towns along the coast. Neither too poor nor too rich, if there is anything that the townspeople are not satisfied with, it can be roughly summed up in two points----

There is less arable land and more pirates.

The town of Säentok is surrounded by mountains and the sea...... Speaking of mountains, it is somewhat mysterious. Most of them were small hills, not very high, and although the land was barren, the life of the townspeople did not seem to be very difficult by the sea, except for one point, the pirates who came more regularly than the tax officials often disturbed the peaceful life of the townspeople, every time they came. will rob the townspeople of most of the income from their hard work, and the empire seems to be unable to do anything except collect taxes, and the days go by like this, and the townspeople have tended to become numb.

This morning, Daddy White got up early, as usual, in his words. Older. Sleep is also light, and there is time to lie in bed. It's better to go to the field and work for a while.

As soon as he walked out of the town, he was stunned by a large field of tents and heavily armed warriors not far ahead.

Pirate!

Old White subconsciously threw down his farm tools, turned around and was about to run back to the town to report the news, although it may be a little late, but if it were in time, some families with daughters would still have time to hide their children from being spoiled by the robbers.

"Old man, may I ask, is this the town of Soentok?"

A hand tugged at his sleeve from behind, and with such a slight tug, Old White could no longer move forward half a step. Probably because he was too nervous, the old man's feet were still running...... It's just repeating the action of standing still.

Moon Shadow watched Old White's movements with some curiosity, could this be a unique workout program in Thorntok Town?

They had arrived in Soentok the previous evening, and because it was getting late, and Moon Shadow did not want to disturb the rest of the townspeople, so she ordered the party to set up a temporary camp outside the town---- judging from the size of this town, it was clear that it was not suitable for a large number of men and horses, and these knights, mercenaries, including the captives, would probably have to live in tents for a long time.

"Krimu, put him down."

Seeing Old White stretching out his arms and shaking his legs in confusion, Moon Shadow finally determined that there might be something wrong with the old man's brain.

Well, after being let go of the Krim, Old White didn't run away, he blinked a pair of old eyes, looked at Krimu, and then at Moon Shadow: "You're not pirates?" ”

"Of course not."

Moon Shadow somewhat understood the old man's strange behavior just now, "I am the lord of Hawaii Island, and Thorntok also happens to be my territory, can you lead me to your mayor?" ”

"Lord, uh, you want to see the mayor? Alright, alright, I'll take you right away! ”

Although Old White didn't know what level of the lord was, he knew that he was older than the town, so he obediently led the way in front. Of course, on the way, Moon Shadow also asked about the security environment here.

In the words of Old White, the people here are simple...... Pure to the point of resignation, they are like machines, begging for food from the land and the sea, and then paying the concentrated essence to the tax collectors and pirates of the empire...... Sweat! When did the officials of the Empire become equal to pirates?

The mayor of Shorntoke, Riffik, was a lame veteran---, and it is said that he had been discounted for his rebellion against pirates shortly after he became mayor, and since then, the townspeople have made the position of mayor of the town his lifelong position in gratitude for his dedication.

After a brief handover, Riffik whispered to Lunara that not far from the town was a manor that had been built by a lord a long time ago.

"A certain lord?"

Moon Shadow did her best to remember some of the data she had collected about Thorntok before her departure, as if the last lord had been more than five hundred years away, right? Can the manor still be inhabited?

"Actually," said the old mayor, with a bitter expression on his face, for the manor was very beautiful, and there was an artificial lake in the manor, which was said to lead directly to the sea, and the leader of the pirates liked it very much, so he gave the townspeople a task to carefully manage the manor as a vacation place for the bandits.
