Chapter 29 Spread in all directions
The Thracian army and the Molai army fought a bloody battle in front of the iron-locked fortress, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
On the side of the Mo Lai Army, other troops are also counted, even the newly formed First Cavalry Regiment of the Federation has lost nearly half, especially the children of the nobles in the army have suffered huge losses, more than 400 dead, accounting for more than seventy percent of the total - including even the eldest son of the Marquis of D'Addarion. Commander Brev Sellers was also seriously wounded, and even if he received treatment, it was estimated that it would take at least a month or two to fully recover.
But compared to the Thracian side, the losses of the Molai army were insignificant, after all, they had killed less than 4,000 people in total.
The allied army of Thracian nobles was defeated and lost, more than 50,000 were killed in the battle alone, and more than 6,700 or 90,000 troops surrendered, and in the end less than 40,000 escaped—among these less than 40,000 people, mainly soldiers of the Pitutz family.
At the aristocratic level, the losses of the Thracian army were slightly better, and the number of soldiers above the earl level was one death.
However...... The weight of this one person is heavier than all the others.
He is Lauren Pitutz, the contemporary "Duke of the Mountains".
When he heard the news, King Richard Thrace was stunned at first, and subconsciously asked, "Are you mistaken?"
"That's right, the life crystals left by the Duke of Pitutz in the palace and the Great Council have been shattered, and so has the news that has come back. ”
“...... The army of the Pitutz family is the best at defense, and he is in the army, even the legendary powerhouse can't help him, how can he die?"
"The Molai have broken through the mountain legions. ”
Richard's eyes widened, and he sat there for a long time, then waved his hand: "I know, sort out the details, and give it to me tomorrow...... I'm a little tired and need to take a break today. ”
Watching the intelligence chief leave, he sighed and asked, "If it were you, would you be sure to storm the camp of the Mountain Legion and kill Lauren Pitutz?"
"I can't do it alone. The Ice Sword Master replied.
"How about getting you a helper?"
"There's not much hope, unless Alan Vina steps into the realm of legends. When the time comes, I'll go to attract attention, and he'll assassinate him, and that's all it takes. ”
Richard was silent for a moment, then sighed again.
"The camp of the Mountain Legion will be breached by the Molais...... I'm afraid it's the last time that group of people made a move. ”
"The origin of that group of people is very questionable, there can't be so many legends or quasi-legends in the world. ”
"Well, I've sent someone to track it down, but there is no definite news yet. A cold light appeared in Richard's eyes, "But as long as they are still active in this world, sooner or later they will be tracked down by me! These powerful guys with strange origins, I am definitely not the only one who wants to deal with them!"
Port Molai is jubilant and has turned into a sea of joy. The Five Dukes brought out a huge amount of sweet wine, and anyone who shouted "Cheers to victory" at a street drinking point could get one. Although these wines are not high-end, the atmosphere of joy is more intoxicating than the wine.
Those aristocratic families who had children who died in battle, although they were also sad, were also more happy than sad - children could be reborn, and those noble children who died in battle were also only children. In contrast, Molai was able to win such a big victory, which means that the future of the country is much more secure, and maybe it will be a few decades or even one or two hundred years of peace.
Although less than half of the country remains, it is worth celebrating to be able to hold on to the rest of the country.
In the Duke of Sellers' mansion, Brev, who was wrapped like a mummy, was lying on the bed, smiling very awkwardly.
His relatives and friends came to visit one by one, and every day except for rest, he was very annoyed to receive guests.
If he had been fine, he would have run away a long time ago. However, he was seriously injured, and the priest said that unless he did not hesitate to overdraw his life, it was better to recover slowly...... So he could only lie here, helpless to meet one visitor after another.
"Can't you let your father or brother receive you?" he complained to his mother, who was sitting next to him.
"That's not going to work! Everyone wants to see 'Thunder Knight', but none other than that. Duchess Sellers said with a smile.
Brev sighed deeply, helpless.
In the Iron-Locked Fortress, Duke Sellers is dealing with a mountain of official business. Winning a battle is a good thing, but with winning a battle comes a lot of follow-up problems. On meritorious deeds, bereavement for the victims, material dispatch, and ransom for prisoners...... A lot of things need to be decided by him as a manager.
The most important of these, of course, is the question of captives.
Holding a document, he looked at it for a long time, and finally closed his eyes and wrote "approval".
(Two words, that's a thousand lives!)
He sighed in his heart for a long time, but his face was unwavering.
There are some things that God can know, and not let more people know.
(Aaron Walter...... Oh, and now he's changed his name to Aaron Igor Konzlin...... What a terrible man!Under his hands, just a group of ordinary domestic dogs, can exert such power!)
(and...... According to him, there is still room for these synths to continue to improve. Those "poisonous explosions", "cockroaches", "stinging snakes" or something...... It sounds so powerful and dangerous than "jumping dogs"!)
(It's just that the "raw materials" he wants are really ...... Fortunately, a lot of captives were harvested this time, and there were not many of them from noble backgrounds, and most of them were from commoners. These people can "process" him one after another for various reasons, and I believe that with this batch of "raw materials", he will definitely be able to research more powerful synthetic beasts!)
(As long as there are enough synths, our federation will be more stable than mountains!)
He let out a long breath and then smiled lightly.
No matter what the price is, it will be worth it to be able to hold the Federation!
Caterina Elantz, who had just returned to the territory not long ago, blinked her eyes, looked at the virtual image of the magic projection in front of her, and shook her head: "I'm tired, don't go out." ”
"Didn't you just take a break for a while?"
"To fight such a big battle, I have to take at least three and five years off. Caterina replied casually.
"But...... Now the situation is urgent, and if the Elantz family does not send troops, it will be difficult to preserve the territory we have won with great difficulty!"
Caterina rolled her eyes and shouted, "Ahhh
Otto Spinola next to him didn't say a word, pulled out his big sword, picked it up and boomed, and smashed it on the communication gem, and the valuable magic props directly turned into a pile of, and the communication was naturally cut off.
Caterina smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Well done!"
"You're going to get sick next, right?" asked Pierd Condy, with a slight gray sideburns, sighing and smiling.
"Of course! I was overworked, bedridden, and couldn't meet customers...... Ahh
The sage Ernst López shook his head with a smile: "You girl, who did you learn this trick from?"
"Guliu told me a story before that he had a friend who had a lazy worm named Tirbitz who ......would get sick immediately when he was going to fight," Caterina said, and couldn't help but really sigh, "Where did that guy Guliu go?"
