Chapter 29: Grief

After the soldiers came to the battlefield with Piese's head, the Orz soldiers, who were still attacking the First Army, finally announced their surrender, and several nobles as high-ranking generals committed suicide with their swords, ending the civil war in Olmuz.

In the battle, Brunay's remaining two hundred and seventy-six soldiers were killed, sixty-six of whom died of his own men, that is, forty-two of the First Army; The 5,000 men of the 1st Army, composed of small and medium-sized noble soldiers, lost about 2,700 men, and 1,500 died at the hands of the 2nd Army. The Third Army, composed of 7,400 soldiers of the great nobles, was killed 6,600 men, the vast majority of whom were killed by the Orz cavalry behind them; Thirteen thousand Orts, made up of traitorous noble soldiers, were killed less than a thousand, and the rest became prisoners.

I have to say that from the beginning to the end of this war, it was full of naked betrayal, and those who died in the hands of the enemy were not even one-tenth of those who died in the hands of "their own people".

Only the Second Army in the south of the city, consisting of a small number of noble soldiers and most of the civilian soldiers who had been temporarily conscripted, and the battle in the north of the city had been fought for less than an hour from beginning to end, and Lyudmila was still meeting with Piese's emissaries when she received the news.

After this battle, the Olmuz aristocracy can be said to have been ten years old, and at least within twenty years, they will not be able to make any waves.

―――――― Split ――――――

Riding a war horse into Orz, Lin Xuan was greeted not by the cheers and flowers like the Brunell king, but by the sight of resentment and anger behind the window.

The streets are deserted, the hooves of horses are stepping on, and the crisp sound of sound spreads through the city...... Reverberate......

It is not so much a triumph, but a fall in the eyes of many people.

Follow the central avenue to the administrative center of Olmuz, in front of the building carved with a picture representing the glory of the war queen.

The Second Army in the south of the city had arrived, and the soldiers pressed out of the building with dazed-faced officers, who seemed to have been kept in the dark at first, completely unaware of what was happening.

Lin Xuan glanced around and asked the saluting soldiers, "Lyudmila is inside?" ”

"Uh...... Yes" I don't know if I was shocked by Lin Xuan's disrespectful title, the soldier replied dumbly.

Lin Xuan nodded and stepped in.

Everyone who walked by, except for those who didn't know Lin Xuan, everyone who recognized his identity avoided it with fear on their faces, and after Lin Xuan walked by, they cast resentful and disdainful glances at his back.

(In a way, the world is quite similar to Earth...... Feeling the sight behind him, Lin Xuan laughed at himself inappropriately.

It was only when I stepped into the highest fifth floor that I saw Mira hidden behind by a thick text.

"Ness ......" After seeing that Lin Xuan was intact, the girl quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed an embarrassed expression: "I'm sorry, I didn't know that Chengbei wasβ€”"

"It's okay, I didn't let them go over and tell you...... What are they? Lin Xuan replied disappreciatively, turning his gaze to the mountains of documents on the table.

Mira's face was grim: "This is a pile of documents, the reconstruction after Olmuz, the invasion of the Duchy of Lubercius and the Duchy of Ostrode needs to be dealt with, and the reinforcements of Letmeliz are about to depart......"

Quietly waiting for Mira to speak, three minutes later, the girl suddenly reacted, a hint of blush climbed up her cheeks, and coughed embarrassedly twice.

"If I can, I want my uncle to come over and help me, after all, he handled all these things before"

Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged: "Didn't anyone tell you?" ”

"Huh?" The girl looked puzzled.

"Pieser Laurie is dead, and Colmo Cos AndrΓ© Zexiu was also executed by me for colluding with Piese" As if it was normal to say anything more, Lin Xuan's expression was still flat.

The girl looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief, her body shook, and Lin Xuan was pushed away as soon as she reached out to hold it.

"Ness...... Tell me...... What you say is false......"

Lin Xuan was silent.

Tears fell, and the girl didn't realize it, but said in a daze: "When I was a child, my father died, and my mother, as a war concubine, has been fighting outside, and only my uncle is with me...... Why...... Why-" The girl screamed hoarsely. "I gave you everything you wanted, why take it all away from me, I just want it...... Want to ......".

Lin Xuan looked at the girl quietly, and a strange feeling slowly grew from the bottom of her heart, that is...... Sadness?

"Report-" Lin Xuan's train of thought was interrupted by an abrupt report outside, "The Duchy of Lubersiu has invaded Terence and is marching towards Bujito!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Got it, stand down" The voice fell, returning to his calm self.

(It's not time yet...... Hold on a little longer...... οΌ‰

"Take the rest of the soldiers to Bougitto, just hand it over to Lightmeliz...... "I don't know what my thoughts were, and I don't know what the impact was, Lin Xuan suddenly said a sentence: "When you come back, I'll tell you all the reasons"

Turn around and leave.

The next day, Lyudmila left with the intact 8,000 soldiers of the Second Army and the remnants of the 3rd Army 1,000 soldiers to Bujito, when she set off, Lin Xuan did not appear, just stood on the city wall and watched from afar, after a long time, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Send a letter of help to Letmeliz and ask them to contain the Duchy of Ostrod - at least not to allow Valentina Gulica Estes to appear before Olds".

Turning and walking under the walls: "Take back all the scouts and concentrate all the surrounding forces in the Olds ......"

"My lord, the connection with Boujitoβ€”"

"Take it back!"

(According to the laws of Gistato, they can attack each other, but they must not harm their lives...... Although it will be dangerous to face Elizabeth Fomina, according to Eleonora's battle situation, the strength of the two is not much better, and if they can't fight, they can at least run, and even if they can't run, they shouldn't violate the laws of Gistato...... On the contrary, Valentina Gulica Estes ...... Recalling the scene of the purple-haired girl cutting through the space in Gistato, Lin Xuan frowned.

(Strength aside, the way to move faster than you can imagine will inevitably lead to faster movement than you can believe...... οΌ‰

"Except for the North Gate, let the captives tear down all the buildings near the other three gates! Just leave the scrap where it is."

The soldier on record was stunned: "My lord, the inhabitants there may-"

"Give them those nobles' houses," Lin Xuan replied without thinking about it.

Next, it's time to wait......
