Chapter 39: The Death of Rhodok (3)

Hu Bin, who slept until dawn, felt that he was simply terrible, and the fatigue accumulated over the past few days poured up from all over his body. The clothes were probably changed by the maid, but a faint bloody aura still filled Hu Bin's body.

Hu Bin patted his face, and was about to deal with the mess left yesterday, when Su Jiamiaomiao's figure appeared from behind the door, and the tray in his hand was full of food.

Hu Bin, who was eating breakfast, learned that the aftermath had been properly handled by Su Jia. The acquisition of a large amount of loot made Hu Bin's liquidity rich again. In addition to the part of the strong Gri, it is enough to comfort Hu Bin, who has almost become the commander of the light pole. A group of captured soldiers are still waiting for Hu Bin to deal with them, and selling them is another big income. However, compared to those leftovers, Hu Bin's biggest income is this large city.

Gerqila, a large capital-level city, with a defense level of four (partially damaged), two additional city defense rapid-fire crossbows, a population of 5862, low prosperity, two subordinate villages, and one port.

The expulsion of the former citizens of Rhodoc has taken a toll on the prosperity of Jergila, and the population is barely sustained by the nearby neutral refugee groups and caravans. But Hu Bin believes that with the establishment of the port, indigenous merchants from all over the country will flock to it, and perhaps a second Tulga will appear here.

Because Hu Bin single-handedly resisted the attack of the lords, most of the lords planted on the city wall were captured by Hu Bin. With a total of 6 Rhodok Lords and 1 Svadia Lord imprisoned in the prison, as well as 11 Rhodok Camp No. 11, these unlucky eggs wanted to do their job, but were eventually killed.

The nobles of the enemy country were released on the spot, after all, in addition to the requirements of the side quests, they can also get a lot of honor points, and Hu Bin, who is not short of money at present, is too lazy to wait for the other family to redeem them, but the numberers are not so happy.

These numberers and their entourage brought huge casualties to Hu Bin, especially the scarce heroic knights who were planted 6 at once, and the ransom was difficult to calm Hu Bin's anger, not to mention the difficult situation, even the numbered people who were fooled with the entourage equipment first couldn't get this ransom.

Hu Bin, who was having a headache about how to squeeze out the oil and water of this group of numbered people, received the news of Gerry's awakening, so he simply put the numbered people in prison and went to see Gerry first.

"Reed, I'm going to hurry back and replenish some troops, it's good that you didn't lose all my troops, I'll bring my new army to scare you next time we meet, I'm not short of money now, hahaha!" Hu Bin ignored the big-money Gerry Fever, he had identified with this ally in the actual sense, and calmed him down to recuperate.

The tragic battle of the defense of Jergila finally came to an end.

Gerry was not disappointed, although he lost a large number of troops this time, Hu Bin kept an elite cavalry for him, which was enough for him to make a comeback. Gerry, who has a lot of financial income, is most concerned about the prestige reward and the opening of the legion, and the last conference battle played the whole soy sauce, and this time the defense of the city is a real record. Hu Bin didn't know how much benefit Gerry had gained, but he deduced from his spatial cue that at least Gerry would have a big leap in strength at this stage.

"Number 000003, get the loot..."

"No. 000003, gain experience..."

"No. 000003, you've taken prisoner..."

Hu Bin, who had encountered heavy losses in the army one after another but was in a good economic situation, completely abandoned the tactics of crowds and began to take the route of elite soldiers.

Steward Gerdan brought him good news, as long as Hu Bin sent Ted to the returning merchant ship to study at the Reed family residence for a month, after which he could train the mercenary cavalry or slave leader (the bounty hunter is the top class) into a trainee knight.

But the problem is that the matching armor and horses can only be shipped from overseas at a large price, and wearing these equipment can become real heroic knights. Shipping restricts the volume of goods, and the housekeeper recommended that Hu Bin buy a few ocean-going merchant ships to meet the needs and expand the benefits of transcontinental trade. However, for Hu Bin's funds at this stage, the purchase of ocean-going ships and the employment of sailors are unrealistic, and he can only rely on the merchant ships that come every half a month to order equipment.

Hu Bin believed that sending Ted to further study was the first priority, and he decided to build a pure cavalry army with heroic knights as the core and mercenary cavalry as the supplement. The national troops were depleted by this campaign, and were completely replaced by Hu Bin with more cost-effective neutral mercenaries.

The city was also renamed the mercenary city by Hu Bin, and since then it has become a base camp for the neutral camp managed by refugee citizens and mercenaries, bounty hunters, and chamber of commerce. And relying on the influence of the Reed family and Hu Bin's own considerable prestige, it is not a problem to coordinate these neutral organizations to develop the city together.

After receiving the news of the enemy's failure in attacking the city, Sultan Hakim and his army canceled the rapid march and arrived at Hu Bin's mercenary city at noon. Leaving only one legion of lords to defend it, it left the city in a hurry and marched north. The disheartened lines of the Rhodok are on the verge of collapse, and the Sultan wants to take advantage of this opportunity to plunder.

The dwindling Rhodok could only guarantee the defense of the domestic fortress, and could no longer put together a decent army to stop Salander's army. King Griffos put all the forces he could muster in Tulgar in a last-ditch effort to keep the most prosperous city in Rhodoc. There were no Swadians to help him this time, the Kugit were stirring the nerves of the Swadians.

Gerry, who was recuperating from a day's injuries before he could get out of bed, was trying to fill his stomach, and Hu Bin, who had met him, was also hungry, and couldn't help but think of Ted, who had been with him all the time, and the ship had already left the port earlier, hoping that the supplies on board were enough for that guy to squander.

Hu Bin began to reflect on his attitude towards his subordinates. The followers are the guards who are completely loyal to their masters, and there is no question of mutiny. However, if the master dies in the world or is disconnected from the master-slave contract, the followers will decide whether to surrender or continue the battle based on their morale. It is foreseeable that the returning Ted will become Hu Bin's biggest help in the world, even more important than Lorraine.

Su Jia's quirky figure appeared in his field of vision, and Hu Bin stopped her and asked what kind of existence the followers were.

"It's probably about the same as me, except that their clearance is too low, and they can only exist as a low-level combat unit." Listening to Su Jia's words, Hu Bin breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably. I already see Su Jia as my partner, so there is no doubt that Ted, who also exists, is his companion, what are I struggling with, is the identity of a human being so important? Numbered geists who have died once are not qualified to choose.
