Chapter 100: The Return
After hearing Nolan's answer, Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He has only been joining the Silver Eagle Legion for a short time, and he doesn't have much influence here, and if he performs too well, he will easily be envied and framed by others.
And now that he can get Nolan's help, there should be no problem with everything, and as long as he is more stable in the future, there will be no big mistakes.
"In that case, I'll leave it to you next, and I wish us a happy cooperation."
Smiling and shaking Nolan's hand, Sean led him and the group of followers into the town of Mirin.
The matter has been settled, then it should be joined with the large army as soon as possible, but it is too late today, Sean and Nolan and the others have decided to stay overnight in Millin Town, and then escort the captives to departure.
Nolan brought 3,000 heavily armored infantry and 2,000 archers, and when these soldiers entered the town, the captives, who were still a little noisy, instantly fell silent.
It was only then that the soldiers captured by Sean realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
They are all military feats that can move, Sean and Nolan will certainly not be unguarded, more than 5,000 soldiers will be on duty at night, unless they become professionals on the spot, they will stay in Millin Town honestly.
……
……
The night quickly passed, and the next morning, Nolan and Sean regrouped their army and planned to leave the town of Millin.
The townspeople of Millin Town were relieved to see that the invaders were finally leaving.
Since ancient times, soldiers and bandits have not been separated, and this is especially true in such wars of aggression.
The soldiers didn't care what the locals thought of them, they wouldn't live here anyway, and the laws of the invaded country were not binding on them in the slightest, and the bloody scenes on the battlefield stimulated the malice in people's hearts.
Looting, invasion, murder and other acts are not uncommon, and sometimes, in order to deter the enemy or make the war more convenient, the generals will also give orders for massacres.
Of course, in order to prevent accidents, Sean strictly restrained the soldiers under his command, so that nothing big happened.
However, since he and his soldiers are also fighting desperately for the safety of the townspeople, it must be natural to collect some war taxes.
Whether it's money, food, or other useful things, Sean doesn't say no.
If someone dares not to hand in or make some small moves, then you have to be careful after that, if the angry soldiers do something bad, Sean can't restrain him.
And after Nolan brought a group of people to come, the entire town was almost empty, although there were not many supplies, but the thrifty Silver Eagle Legion would not let go of the slightest.
……
Because of the presence of hoplites in the legion, the overall marching speed appears to be a bit slow.
From early morning until near noon, Sean and the others caught up with the main force of the Silver Eagle Legion.
Seeing Nolan and Sean escorting a group of captives back, the commander of the Silver Eagle Legion, Camillo de la Rosa, looked surprised.
"Nolan, how did you solve it so quickly?"
"These people ......"
"Legend is above, you have taken everyone captive? Didn't they resist? ”
Camilo rushed over in person, his expression was surprised, and it was obvious that he had a lot of questions in his heart.
Although the hoplites were very strong in combat, they marched slowly, and as a corps commander, he certainly knew the limits of these soldiers.
In such a short period of time, it is enough to be able to go back and forth, and it is impossible to have time to capture these captives.
And no matter how he looked, he found no traces of the soldiers' fighting, and based on the above reasoning, Camillo believed that the other side was likely to surrender directly.
But why?
Seeing Camillo's bewildered look, Nolan suddenly laughed.
He patted Sean, who was standing on the side, on the shoulder and said.
"Camillo, let me introduce you again, this is Sean Morton, the original level 9 alchemy mage, that is, the captain of the thirteenth detachment I told you before."
"In this mission, he has been promoted to the rank of apprentice."
"On top of that, he faced the enemy forces around the town of Milin alone, and successfully captured all of them, while capturing a large amount of supplies."
"The most important thing is that in this operation, the number of casualties among our soldiers is zero!"
Nolan's words stunned Camillo, and he looked carefully at Sean on the side, and his eyes couldn't help but have a hint of amazement and caution.
"According to my calculations, the total income from this operation should be nine million points, including the capture of a large number of prisoners and a large amount of supplies, plus the military merits that were originally awarded for completing the mission."
"Among them, ordinary soldiers will receive a total of 200,000 points, professionals will receive a total of 300,000 points, the legion will receive a total of 500,000 points for transportation and handling expenses, and Sean will receive 8 million points for military merit."
"Oh, by the way, a tenth of those eight million points will be transferred to me, which we have agreed before."
Amid Camillo's darkening complexion, Nolan continued.
"Stop! Nolan! You wait a minute! Camillo hurriedly stopped Nolan, who was about to leave, looking irritable.
"I don't care about the content of the transaction between you and Sean, but I ask you, why is the Legion processing fee only 500,000 points? Are you trying to abuse your power? ”
"Hey, Camillo, you guys don't bother." Nolan leaned closer, put his arms around his neck, and whispered a few words.
I saw that Camillo's face began to change constantly, and finally he snorted helplessly and acquiesced to Nolan's approach.
Sean watched the two interact from the sidelines, and some strange thoughts popped up in his heart.
He had long known that the relationship between Nolan and Camillo was very good, so when he first joined the Silver Eagle Army, Nolan was able to directly make him the captain of the detachment without Camillo's consent.
I just don't know if there is a relationship between them that goes beyond friendship, or ......
Sean shook his head sharply, throwing some outlandish thoughts out of his head.
Either way, he just had to settle his own affairs.
This war may not end anytime soon, it is a disaster for ordinary people, but it is a great opportunity for Sean.
As long as he tries to make as many benefits as possible during this period, and uses the war to improve his staff, he will not worry about equipment until the official level.
