071 It's just day
Sea Clan? Duke's heart was full of doubts, this was not a new term he knew, because in the classics sent by Princess Jina before, it had already been introduced that there were five main races in the original Europa continent, including the Sea Clan.
However, the Sea Clan is different from the other four races, they are not completely terrestrial creatures, and at most they only live in remote coastal areas, and they do not have much interaction with other races on the mainland, and even the battle of the races thousands of years ago, the Sea Clan did not get involved too much.
It can be said that the Sea Clan basically has nothing to do with Storm Castle, Storm Castle has been established for more than a hundred years, and there is no record of the Sea Clan, let alone that they will take the initiative to attack, why is this?
"Alan, do you know them, why are the Sea Clans here and taking the initiative to attack the hydro factory?"
Duke asked Alan curiously, after all, he was a "native" of this world, and he might know more about the Sea Clan than the information he had seen in the classics.
"My lordship, when I was serving under Duke Otto, I fought against the sea tribes at the edge of the inner sea, and the sea tribes with fish heads and human bodies were their ordinary soldiers, and we generally called them fish warriors. And the sea tribe with the snake tail is their main battle, and it is also the ruling race among the sea tribe - the Naga warriors. ”
"If it's just a fish-man warrior, it's probably a skirmish where the hydro factory is too close to the Sea of Death, causing the Sea Clan to misunderstand, so it's a tentative attack. But the appearance of Naga warriors means that this is an elaborate act of war, and the Sea Clan is hostile to our Storm Castle, as for why, it is not clear why, we are looking for a way to live. ”
Hearing Alan's explanation, Duke was also puzzled, because Stormcastle and the Sea Clan have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, why did they become hostile? Could it be that the establishment of a hydroelectric factory on the banks of the Seine River made the Sea Clan mistakenly think that Storm Castle wanted to march on the Sea of Death and occupy their territory?
But as an intelligent race, the Sea Clan would never be so stupid as to attack the hydroelectric factory on such a large scale just by guessing. Otherwise, in the past hundred years, Storm Fortress would have known how many wars would break out with the Sea Clan. There is definitely something hidden behind this, it seems that as Alan said, see if you can find a living mouth and get a little word out of the mouth of the sea clan.
The sudden war in the hydroelectric factory kept the entire Storm Castle sleepless at night, and many people thought that monsters had attacked. However, when Duke led the Storm Legion back to the city, everyone cheered excitedly, which represented the victory of the Storm Legion.
Unlike the people cheering for victory, Duke was very entangled in his heart at the moment, because the losses caused by this sudden war were very large, and he did not know how to explain the casualties to the families of these storm soldiers.
Perhaps the life of this medieval was far less important than that of the human rights era in later generations, but Duke still felt that as a lord, it was necessary to protect the life of every soldier, and it was also necessary to do a good job of bereavement work.
According to Allen's statistics last night, less than fifty of the 150-person squad of the Storm Guard stationed in the hydroelectric factory survived, and half of them were seriously injured.
Thirty ironsmiths and fifty workers who expanded the waterway also suffered nearly half of the casualties, especially the ironsmiths, who were almost all the iron-related workers in Storm Castle, and it was difficult to replenish the casualties, which cast a shadow on the production of new plate armor.
The only good thing is that the two witches, Nicole and Rose, were not harmed, and the other witches and dark mages stayed in the city at night without any casualties, otherwise the whole production would have come to a standstill.
Another point that Duke regrets is that the Sea Clan has the natural advantage of being able to enter the water, all of which they can easily retreat, and basically the lightly wounded are taken away by them, while the seriously injured do not wait for interrogation, they die under this weather and medical conditions, and there is no life at all.
After all, this world is not like the earth of the afterlife, where there are various blood transfusion ventilators to forcibly continue life, and it is a little difficult for the captives to want to die and commit suicide. As long as the seriously wounded of the Sea Clan shut up and drag on for a little time, the blood loss alone is enough to kill.
When he saw these statistics for the first time, Duke slapped the desk directly in excitement, startling Alan Cassel in the audience. Duke was full of grief and indignation in his heart at the moment, what is going on, even if people are unlucky, how can they be so unlucky?
Inexplicably came to this ghost place to take the blame, and the ice demon hugged his thigh and repelled, and as a result, there were inexplicably more necromancers and monster armies! Okay, I admit it all, it's a big deal to admit the obscene development, and when all the members of the Storm Legion are equipped with new armors, they will fight with the monsters!
As a result, it was not easy to develop a little sign of industrial production in this world, and there was a sneak attack by the ghost sea clan, which was almost like an enemy of the whole world. Even if you want to be Zhao Ritian, the day of the fuck, give me some time to prepare, this will not give you a way to live!
"Your Excellency, take care!"
Seeing that Duke was so excited, Cassel hurriedly reminded him that he didn't want to be so angry with a promising lord.
Duke took a deep breath and calmed his excitement, he also knew that in this situation, it was useless to rely on anger. I've had more difficult moments before, but now I can be regarded as turning over a little!
"Alan, bury the remains of the soldiers, and the wounded soldiers go and ask for help from Casmeel and Nicole first, see if they can be treated with magic, and I will definitely give the storm soldiers who died in battle a due glory!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Cassel and Alan retreated, and Duke lived alone in the hall, closing his eyes and feeling tired. Now he finally understands what a soldier is, and the murder weapon is also, whether it is won or lost, the price is too great.
Seeing Duke's tired appearance, Sophia also obediently pressed Duke's head, now she doesn't resist this lord at all, but admires and respects Duke from the bottom of her heart, he is definitely the best lord in the history of Storm Castle, there is no one!
But at this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and when he heard this sound, Duke sat up straight as if reflexively, and what he thought in his heart was: Come again?
This time, however, it wasn't the enemy that Duke had imagined, but Gandalf and Hera with a team of soldiers, escorting an unusually burly Naga warrior in.
