One farmer was held down by two cold-faced soldiers, and the third soldier chewed a piece of raw meat, and when the farmer's head was pressed, the soldier raised his sword

The sound of the sword falling as if it were tearing cloth was made, and the farmer's head rolled to the side

The Valans are executing prisoners of war

The executions were mainly carried out by the farmers who had originally expressed their submission and then rushed out to attack Yuri, who sat around crying and waiting for the verdict

Of the more than 200 farmers and soldiers who were captured, more than 40 were to be executed

The decision to put people to death is as follows: four shorter sticks plus one slightly longer stick, these small sticks are held in the hand of a soldier, and the person to be punished reaches out to collect them, and the person who draws the long stick will be executed, of course, this opportunity can be replaced, that is, one person can voluntarily die for another, for example, another person promises to give all his land and family to the former

The Valans seem to value this link

When faced with death, some of these unfortunate farmers who drew the long sticks would cry and shout, they would cry and beg others to replace him, but all he got was an indifferent response, the farmers insulted each other and even fought, in order to survive, this kind of stimulation made all the captured peasants tremble, as more and more people were beheaded off, this commotion gradually stopped, but fear was deeply engraved into the hearts of these people in Little East Lake City

The Valans say that it takes ten years to forget this memory, during which the men will give up all resistance out of great fear, but after ten years, when their eager sons have grown up, then it is another matter, and the long-term repression may make them resist quickly, but so what, "If they mess around, kill another batch"

It is no accident that the Valans are called 'barbarians'

Kalinin reprimanded Yuri, because if Yuri had not delayed this period of time in the village, it would have been impossible for the militia of the surrounding villages to gather, and once Yuri's troops had moved the local ranks, they could calmly move closer to the larger forces, so as to avoid these casualties After the battle, Yuri lost a total of more than 70 people, of which more than 20 were killed, and the remaining 40 people needed to rest for a while before returning to the battlefield

Although this time he defeated a siege of the city of Little East Lake, he lost almost a company, which made Kalinin very angry

Kalinin said to Yuri, "For every soldier we lose, the guys in the city and in the forest have more advantages."

One of the attendants was helping Yuri to bandage his arm, he unfastened half of his armor, the attendant poured boiling wine over the wound, then smeared it with lard and honey to stop the bleeding, and finally, tied the wound tightly with a strip of white cloth, most of Yuri's injuries were fine, most of them were files and bruises, Goth came to check on Yuri for a while, and then told Yuri that he would burn intermittently, and when the fever subsided, it would be fine

As a physician, Goth's busyness is incredibly high

There were more than a hundred people who needed him to take care of him, and he had two assistants, a sixteen-year-old apprentice and an old slave of Salander, who had been rescued by Goth when he was in Ivangelod, who had contracted a serious lung disease and was left to die in an empty house for Goth to revive him, and he followed Goth's help

This old man boiled a large pot of boiling water, and boiled scissors and daggers in it, and the Goth's treatment method was very strange, but he never questioned it, because he himself was a Goth, and the Goth would always do things that the old man could not understand, such as watering the wound with wine, resolutely refusing to do bloodletting treatment, and sewing the wound with fine threads, etc

The old man was most surprised by the Gothic sewing the wound like a pocket This old slave remembers that when he was in his hometown, most of the imams were skilled doctors, but only the most outstanding doctors dared to use such treatment, and after arriving in Vecchia, most doctors treated the wound by applying a layer of lard to the wound, and then began to pray to God or the gods, and many soldiers with severed hands and feet lost their hands and feet in prayer

In addition, the Goths had a wide variety of ointments: honey-lard ointment was used to stop bleeding; Poppy slurry is used to relieve pain, but not much; Huoxiang medicine is used to treat abdominal pain and poisoning

This herb made Goth look like a heretic who knew witchcraft again

Some of the Valans were not very resistant to this treatment, while some of the Westerners of the faith were shocked, and when they saw the Goths smearing clumps of inexplicable herbs into their wounds, they would cry out, 'Oh God', and jump up and run away with their wounds

The young apprentice of the Goth did a good job, his mind was dexterous enough to remember the use of each potion, and the Goth was ready to tell him the secret recipe of the herb bit by bit later

The soldiers who had just finished the fierce battle felt a wave of exhaustion

The Valans untied their heavy helmets and the armor hanging from their shoulders, and sat together, these people showed off to each other the wounds on their bodies and the results they had just achieved, their spear tips and axes were stained with dark red blood, some of them had their chain mail poked open, and it took hundreds of iron rings to connect them, and one of the Valans' helmets was dented by a sledgehammer, these soldiers cursed that the soldiers of Xiaodonghu City were useless, hundreds of people fought more than a hundred people, and they still couldn't win

The Valan soldiers began to feel that although this way of fighting in formation to protect themselves was humiliating, it could indeed save their lives, if it was the usual way of fighting, they would have been defeated a long time ago, as long as they were defeated half an hour earlier, then even if reinforcements came, they might only see corpses and tattered equipment everywhere

Some of the Valan's attendants were counting the battlefield at this time, and there were two hundred dying people or corpses lying on the ground, stretching from the clearing to the edge of the forest, and many of them were groaning in the swamp, reaching out to hold their wounds

The attendants looked at these people from side to side, and if there were Varans, they would carry them on their backs and carry them aside to heal them or cover them with white cloths, and if they were from the small East Lake City, they would pierce their throats with the tip of their spears and begin to strip them of their valuables

Blood flows on the ground, moistening the fresh earth, and when the warm weather begins to fall on the earth, the most dazzling flowers bloom here

This should be regarded as a victory, the men of the surrounding villages have been devastated, they have rarely recovered for more than ten years, ordinary soldiers think that they can go and loot these villages, and the Valans, who have a little discernment, began to look at the fertile land around it, thinking that the villagers of Xiaodonghu City who had emigrated to this place had fled into the camp in despair, which was really a stupid plan

Kalinin himself came to the edge of the camp, where the people received a promise from the count that they would not be harmed, and the suspicious villagers opened the camp and handed over the rout that had fled inside, and these people were immediately executed, and the Valan soldiers, enraged by the resistance, began to plunder the property of the villagers, and raped their women Kalinin and left the place, much to the delight of the fearful Valan soldiers

The Count looked back at the noisy camp, rode away from Constantine to accompany the Count, he was very satisfied that the Count did not interfere with the soldiers' 'having fun', if everything was according to the chivalry like the last lord, then there would be no way to fight Constantine never denied the rumor: at that time, when the former lord of Valan was surrounded by the Berks, he could have been rescued, but the Valans did nothing

However, Count Kalinin did not need to worry about such a thing, because he had already tied himself to the interests of the Valans, and for a 'reasonable' lord, there was no need for the Valans to resist him, as long as they were not annexed by him

That night, Kalinin was approached by several weeping representatives of the peasants and their disheveled wives, who cried out about the atrocities of the soldiers after Kalinin left

Enraged, Kalinin picked up the kneeling peasants on the ground and reprimanded Konstantin and several of the Mer warriors in front of them, teaching them to love the people and not to plunder

In the end, Kalinin divided a few carts from the looted grain and asked the farmer to take it back to the others, "I don't know if your food is enough, if it is not enough, I can still support you, but not more, you also know that food is very precious during the war, if this kind of thing is regenerated, I will be your supporter, you can come to me for arbitration"

Several of the Valan officers shook hands with the farmer's representative nonchalantly, and expressed their understanding: The Count gave each of them two sheep and a sack of grain as compensation for the weeping peasant women

Flattered, the farmer returned to the camp and trumpeted the count's good deeds, and pulled out food as evidence

Soon after, the count's servants began to patrol the refugees with sticks, and if any soldiers were still doing their thing, they would drive them away: pull them down from the farmer's granary, or from the woman, and give them a few sticks to get them out

Early the next morning, the Count, after a delay for most of the day, began to move in the direction he had set

The dead and wounded peasants and peasant women sent the Count a long way away, and then turned back to bury the corpses all over the ground, and looked at the empty granary, and they felt a strange sense of gratitude for the Count

At the same moment, near the forest barracks

I have ridden into the forest, and in a little while I will be back in the barracks

Giovanni must have been impatient to wait, what a hell of a life, I don't even know how to explain to him that I can have a lot of things in the two or three days of my delay, maybe before Giovanni arrived on the battlefield, the count had already conquered the small East Lake City, or before Giovanni was ready, the count suddenly waved his troops here and asked for a 'merger' with Giovanni

However, I saw no trace of the soldiers passing by along the way, and I was relieved that the Count did not regard Giovanni as his first enemy

I asked the butler to bring a letter to the Messiah, and now I regret my actions a little, the butler looked cunning, and I wonder if he could help me to carry the letter and leave her in a hurry, without even saying goodbye, and I have many things to ask her

We broke the thin ice, walked down the riverbank, and then we went back to the barracks

The campfires were extinguished, the stone houses were empty, and the cattle and sheep were gone

There is not a single person here.
