Chapter 91: Gathering Materials
"Hehe, what did you eat to grow up in the Ice Wind Kingdom? That [King of the Northland] has a good appetite, after so many years of planning, he finally looked forward to such a good opportunity, of course he made a move, is the result?"
After Sham sold the pass, he said: "This time it was the [King of the Northland] Alander who personally took action, except for a small number of people who fled, most of the Silver Snow Legion were either killed or captured, the commander of the Silver Snow Legion, the senior knight [Iron Wall] Francisco was killed in battle, and the three intermediate knights under him died and fled and surrendered, but the group of people in the Icewind Kingdom also suffered heavy losses!"
"It is said that not only did the two legions suffer heavy casualties and were unable to continue southward, but even the [King of the North] Alander himself was not lightly injured under the [Iron Wall] Francisco's deathly counterattack, so that Lord Harold's goal was achieved. ”
Wilkinson was silent for a moment and then asked, "I wonder who will be in charge of the command after Lord Modern arrives here, and who are the support personnel from the north, and how will they be arranged?"
Sham replied, "These Earls of Harold have already been arranged, although Lord Modern will be stationed here, but all the operational command on the side of Yez Town will be in your charge, including all members of the Dark Mercenary Regiment, will unconditionally obey your arrangement." ”
Wilkinson nodded, the Golden Lion Camp is his base camp, as Totini's adjutant, he can fully command the movement, Lord Modern is not only the leader of the Dark Mercenary Regiment, but also the mid-level knight powerhouse, if he has his support, the two main forces of Yezi Town can now be unified into a whole.
"As for who the support personnel of the Icewind Kingdom are, I don't know too much, but Lord Modern will be your solid backing, and the people of the Icewind Kingdom will not dare to disobey your orders!"
Although Wilkinson doesn't know what kind of agreement Earl Harold has reached with the Ice Wind in the north, it is obvious that the two sides have a basis for cooperation now, and both sides will face the wrath of the Nader Kingdom, and joining forces is the most correct choice, not to mention the support of Lord Modern, so there will be no problem.
"By the way, Lord Wilkinson, I don't know how you prepared the 'materials' this time?" At this time, Sham suddenly asked, "In addition to conveying Lord Harold's orders to you this time, I will be responsible for the transportation of materials this time!"
Hearing Sham's question, Wilkinson's expression suddenly became strange, and then he nodded and said, "The materials are ready, Lord Sham and I will go and have a look." ”
Wilkinson got up and walked out of the government hall, with Sham following closely behind, followed by their respective bodyguards.
Soon the two of them came to the door of a large warehouse with their escorts. Before they could get close to the warehouse, Wilkinson and Sham smelled a rotten stench, Wilkinson frowned slightly, and relaxed randomly, while Sham's expression never changed.
When the warehouse door was opened, the stench became stronger.
When Wilkinson walked in with Sham, he found dozens of corpses neatly placed on the floor in the warehouse.
The corpses were men, women, and children, tall and short, fat and thin, but most of them were dressed in shabby clothes, apparently the corpses of civilians.
Moreover, some of the corpses had been stored for a certain amount of time, causing the corpses to begin to decompose visibly, while some of the corpses were clearly fresh from death.
If it weren't for the fact that Scandan is located at the northernmost point of the continent and the weather is in winter, the rate of decomposition of corpses is estimated to be even faster.
I saw Sham walk up to the corpse, squatting down from time to time to check the condition of the corpse, and only after a while did he sigh and say, "Lord Wilkinson, although the quantity of your batch of 'materials' is not bad, the quality seems to be very average." ”
"There is no way, there are a lot of corpses of cavalry, mercenaries and rats in the first few batches, and they account for a large proportion, but this batch is basically civilians near Yezi Town, and the natural quality is average. If it weren't for the fact that Yez Town still needed a lot of labor to build various defenses, we would have been able to provide at least hundreds of materials. Wilkinson's words easily decided the life and death of hundreds of people, as if these people were no different from ordinary animals in his eyes.
"No need for the time being, the end of the city has provided a lot of corpses in the past few days, and more importantly, on the side of Silver Snow Castle, our allies in the north have generously provided a lot of corpses, and even include the corpses of the high-level knight [Iron Wall] Francisco, and another middle-level knight, of course, they have also exchanged a lot of things from our side!" said Sham with a smile.
"But how could Lord Harold suddenly need so many corpses?" Wilkinson remembered that when Totini left Yez Town, he left with the corpses of Arcadia and Lorent, and then Count Harold came with a secret order, asking Wilkinson to collect a large number of corpses!
The cavalry of the four lords who died in battle, the mercenaries and thugs who died in Yezi Town, and the rats and civilians who were captured and used as laborers, and finally died of exhaustion and froze to death.
All the bodies were collected by Wilkinson and shipped to the Golden Lion, but Earl Harold was in demand in more and more quantities, so Wilkinson had this question.
"Although I would love to tell, I don't really know anything about it, I just know that all the corpses have been gathered somewhere in the Golden Lion City. "Actually, Sham didn't know why Count Harold had collected so many corpses.
"Somewhere in the Golden Lion?" Wilkinson asked.
"Count Harold used to be the seat of the Wizard Tower for the wizard Arcadia. Sham said.
"How is it possible, isn't Arcadia the wizard already dead?" said Wilkinson in surprise, he had seen Arcadia's corpse with his own eyes, and what was the use of a wizard's tower without a wizard?
"I don't know. To be honest, Sham was also confused, if Wilkinson had only seen Arcadia's body, Sham had seen how Arcadia had died.
At that time, he, Ferret and Ashaya were besieging Pande at the east gate of Yezi Town, and were about to force Pande out, but Arcadia's voice suddenly appeared in his mind, asking them to rush to the south gate immediately.
In the end, the three of them, except for Ashaya who stayed behind to continue to spy on Pande, he and Ferret hurried to the south gate.
