Chapter 8 It's time for a post-war review and reckoning
Lin Ye walked up the hill in Dussel, who was covered in blood, and excitedly announced that the battle of Guillotine Valley was over, and after the victory of the Black Fire Family, he nodded lightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Then he quickly fell to the ground.
This frightened Lancelot and the others, and they hurriedly shouted for the doctor to come to the rescue.
Fortunately, there was soon an even snoring sound, and it turned out that the Duke was just asleep.
He's so tired!
Led by Lancelot and Dussel, he led the army back to Blackfire Castle and dealt with the aftermath.
Lin Ye slept for a whole day and a night.
I thought that the Duke would have to rest for two days before dealing with government affairs, but he didn't expect that just after dawn the next day, he summoned all the military and political officials in the castle to the conference hall for a meeting.
"Good morning everyone, please forgive me for dining here, I can't help it, I'm so hungry, do you need one?" Lin Ye was gobbling up a plate of fried eggs in his hand.
As soon as he woke up, he asked Vivien to inform Lancelot and the others to come to the conference hall for a meeting, and he really didn't bother to go to breakfast.
But Milia was already waiting at the gate of the conference hall, and before Lin Ye could say hello to her, she stuffed the plate of fried eggs in his hand and hurried away.
Vivien mysteriously told him that this was Milia's intention, and that if she wanted to clear up the misunderstanding with her and get back together, it was best not to refuse.
Lin Ye had no choice but to hurriedly solve this plate of fried eggs in the conference hall in front of many officials.
"Your Excellency, you've been working too hard lately, so you have to take care of yourself. A middle-aged official stepped forward and said that Lin Ye had memorized all the information of the relevant personnel in the Black Fire Castle in the past two days, and he remembered that this official was the political officer Moda.
"Mo Daqing, I'll pay more attention, let's talk about the battle damage in the Battle of Guillotine Valley first. Lin Ye took the lead in opening the first topic.
Although he had been watching the battle from the hillside near the Valley of the Broken Head from beginning to end, and had estimated the damage in his mind, everything was still subject to the result after clearing the battlefield.
"Lord Qiqi, our cavalry team did not participate in the frontal battlefield in this battle, and was only responsible for chasing and suppressing the remnants of the enemy after the battle, so there were almost no losses, only two soldiers fell off their horses because of the muddy roads and were slightly injured during the pursuit. Lancelot came out to report on the situation of the cavalry.
Lin Ye nodded, if this kind of terrain wasn't for the sake of gathering numbers, he would definitely not send a cavalry team into battle.
After all, in such an environment, the cavalry cannot exert its due power, and the infantry is the protagonist.
"What about the battle damage of the infantry team?" Lin Ye turned his gaze to Dussel's.
Although the battle was over, he also changed into civilian clothes, and did not wear that armor again, but he could still smell a faint smell of blood from his body, and the scene of him taking the lead and bravely killing the enemy yesterday left a very deep impression on Lin Ye.
"My lord, our infantry team, including the reserve militia, has a total of 106 people, and 17 people were killed and 48 were wounded in yesterday's battle!" Dussel said in a heavy tone, reporting the battle damage of the infantry team, and more than half of them were killed and wounded!
"So many people died?"
"In the past ten years, our Black Fire Castle has never suffered such a big loss!"
"This battle was really ...... Alas!"
The officials talked a lot, after all, they did not participate in the battle of Guillotine Valley, and only after dawn did they hear that more than 100 soldiers had left the city to participate in the battle, and they tried to dissuade them but it was too late.
It turned out to be such a heavy price!
This Lord Duke is too reckless!
It's just a desperate fight!
Lin Ye instantly felt more than a dozen pairs of dissatisfied eyes on him, it was no wonder that these affairs officials did not know how to fight, and he had not consulted with them beforehand, so it was expected that he would suffer these cold eyes now.
"But!" Dussel visibly noticed the strangeness of the atmosphere in the conference hall, he clenched his fists, and his tone showed unprecedented excitement, "Under the wise command of Lord Duke, we have destroyed 300 people of the Black Dog Tribe, of which 256 have been killed and 44 have been captured, including Demuhei!"
As soon as his words fell, the entire conference hall suddenly boiled.
"What? Defeated the invincible Black Dog Tribe?"
"Oh my God, the Black Dog Tribe's casualties are five times that of our Black Fire Castle?
"Isn't DemuHei the patriarch of the Black Dog Tribe, and it's actually captured by us?"
The officers' eyes widened in disbelief from Dussel's words.
The officers in the conference hall straightened their backs, they had never been so proud.
If it is said that dealing with the gray wolf tribe is a trick and relying on "strange", then dealing with the black dog tribe is an out-and-out frontal fight on the premise of setting a trap, which is "positive".
In the battle of Guillotine Valley, they won without the slightest bit of moisture!
"What about the confiscated loot?" Lin Ye waved his hand, signaling for silence in the conference hall, and continued to ask.
"In terms of trophies, we have collected 236 spears, 117 pairs of leather armor, and a number of other weapons, including the meteor hammer of the first warrior of the Black Dog Tribe, Caucasus Black, who is confirmed to have been killed. "An officer of the infantry unit reported on the captured booty.
Lin Ye was very satisfied with this number, the armory of the Black Fire Castle was in short supply, and this batch of loot could just be filled in the warehouse.
"By the way, Mo Liqing, how many gold coins are left in our Black Fire Castle's books?" Lin Ye continued to ask, the Mo Li in his mouth was the financial officer of Black Fire Castle, a respected scholar-type old man.
"This ...... Lord Qiqi, since our Black Fire Castle started three years ago, there was not a single gold coin left in the treasury. Maury replied awkwardly.
"By the way, the gold coins have been extorted by those greedy and money-loving Far Eastern tribes, how can I forget this. Lin Ye patted his head, and sure enough, he slept too deadly, and he forgot about this kind of thing in a groggy state.
In the past three years, the Black Fire Castle has paid the salaries of its officials and soldiers in the form of food, but in fact, for the Black Fire Castle, an isolated fortress that exists independently in the Far East, gold coins have no actual value.
After all, the various tribes are not willing to do business with the Black Fire Castle, they are more inclined to rob the way.
Second, the Black Fire Castle is basically self-sufficient in various materials, and the castle and the two nearby villages are basically bartered, and the gold coins cannot be circulated.
"The family of every soldier who died in the war was given two hams, a bag of goat's milk, and twenty eggs, and the families of the wounded were given a ham, half a bag of goat's milk, and ten eggs as a consolation. Lin Ye changed his words.
"But my lord, the grain ...... in the warehouse" Mo Li is embarrassed, although he is a financial officer, but due to the shortage of personnel in the Black Fire Castle, he also serves as a food officer.
"Just do it, our granaries will fill up soon, I promise. Lin Ye smiled and groaned.
"Now, go and invite our Demuhe Patriarch up. ”
