Inside Fort Wilton, Carl and Pyne take a sip of tea, leaving their throats dry from the night's journey.

Sylvia and others were cleaning the battlefield outside, collecting the spoils, and the rules he set, the spoils were handed over uniformly, and finally half of the value was divided into equal distribution to each soldier, which made the soldiers very motivated.

However, Karl is not very happy, the war is not a child's play, this time although his army carried out a surprise attack in the rear, and surrounded by Baron Dias's army, coupled with the suppression of equipment, it can be said that he has an advantage, but he has also suffered a lot of casualties, and the death of every soldier can make Carl's heart ache for a long time.

As for Baron Dias, he was in a good mood, not only winning the battle, annihilating and capturing most of the enemy's army, but also rescuing many captured soldiers.

The soldiers rescued by Carl have basically returned to the Wilton Territory, and the dozens of people who escaped before have also returned one after another, and Baron Dias has finally recovered a little.

Of course, it is only a little vitality, Baron Dias has at least killed more than 100 soldiers, and it is estimated that it will take a long time to recover.

"Karl, your army is so well equipped?" Baron Dias was a little surprised, because everyone in Hagrid's corps had armor, although it was only leather armor, but it was also valuable.

Coupled with the heavy infantry and heavy cavalry provided by Karl, the force formed by this army was very strong.

"Ah, I didn't provide the equipment for the Hagrid Corps, it was their own." Karl smiled and shook his head, if he was really asked to provide equipment for a hundred people, he would have to go bankrupt, of course, he also provided some, after all, the Hagrid corps at the beginning was only forty people.

"What's going on?" Baron Dias was puzzled.

Karl casually told Baron Dias about recruiting them, much to Baron Dias's surprise.

After all, most of those mercenaries are just hired by nobles, and they are generally not recruited, and the mercenaries' equipment is generally not much better.

But the Hagrid mercenary group itself is not a small mercenary group, and many wars have allowed them to accumulate a lot of wealth, which is why they have such equipment, and their leader Sylvia is tired of wandering around, which is why he was recruited by Carl.

I have to say that this one thing has a lot of luck in it.

A short time later, Sylvia walked in, but the battlefield had already been cleaned.

"Lord Karl, this time we have captured more than thirty people, and we have also captured a lot of equipment, which is enough for us to arm another fifty people." Sylvia was excited.

"And what about our losses?" Karl looked up slightly.

Sylvia breathed for a moment, then slowly lowered her head and said, "We have lost a dozen brothers, and the remaining twenty brothers are seriously wounded and can no longer participate in the battle, while the others are more or less slightly wounded. ”

Karl sighed, the war is cruel, even if it is a big victory, they have lost almost forty people, the word seriously injured, it is not that they lack arms and legs, they can't be said, those people are basically useless, and Hagrid's corps lost nearly half of its combat strength in the first battle.

Of course, their results were also brilliant, not counting Baron Dias's army, they alone annihilated more than a hundred people, a full battle loss ratio of 1 to 2.0 points, which is already very good.

"Put the bodies of the brothers who died in the war first, and we will bring them back when the time comes, and as for the seriously injured brothers, we also tell them not to worry, when they return to the Selder Manor, I will pay them enough pensions so that they can live a peaceful life for the rest of their lives, and ...... It was set at ten silver natas for each person, and fifteen silver natas were given to the brothers who died in battle if they had relatives. Karl sighed and said softly.

Sylvia was stunned for a moment, and then showed a happy expression, with a touch on her face, they had served other nobles back then, they had seen many wars, and the soldiers of those nobles were injured, and the nobles would just leave them to fend for themselves, but no one said anything, because everyone did it.

Those soldiers were lowly, they died in battle, they were wounded when they were wounded, they only had the obligation to fight for their lords, but they had no rights.

And now Carl has made such a promise, and there is no doubt that it has left a big shock on him.

Ten silver natas seriously wounded, fifteen silver natas killed in battle? This is not a small amount, they only have five silver natas a year, and if this saving is enough for them to live.

And you must know that there will be a lot of casualties in every war, and this time alone, it will cost hundreds of silver natas, which is a huge amount of money.

Sylvia burst into tears, then bent down.

"Thank you, Lord Karl, for your generosity, we are willing to give our lives for you." Sylvia's voice was sincere, more like an oath.

Karl was dumbfounded, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go and let the soldiers rest first, we will soon have to fight again, this time we will take the old lair of Baron Samu." ”

"Yes!"

Carl actually felt a little indebted to those soldiers, after all, they paid for their lives, but he only paid for some money, and it was not much.

But I have to admit that he has no ability to provide welfare benefits, and he will go bankrupt if he continues to mention it.

But he didn't expect this to be amazing, after all, when he did this, it was a stark contrast to the other nobles, enough to make his soldiers grateful to Dade.

Baron Dias just quietly watched what was happening in front of him, and only after Sylvia had left did he say, "Karl, have you treated them too well?" That's not how money is used, it's really ...... you to spend precious natas on the crippled."

Baron Dias didn't finish, but everyone understood what he meant.

"I felt so on the way, and he gave the ales to the lowly ones." Pyne also interjected.

Karl smiled and said, "Officially, because I did this, that's why my army is so desperate." ”

"You...... Forget it. Baron Dias shook his head, but didn't say anything after all, after all, it was the other party's army now.

"Carl, my child, it's just a good time for you to come." Lady Aisha walked over and hugged Karl, her face glad that the situation was so critical.

"It's great that you're okay, my mother, otherwise I really can't forgive myself." When he saw Mrs. Aisha, Carl also revealed his true feelings, after all, this mother did treat him sincerely.

"My son has become stronger, and his armor looks imposing on his body." Mrs. Aisha looked Carl up and down, her eyes showing surprise, after all, it was a great joy to see her child come out like this.

"Did you find a girl you like over there? Which aristocratic girl is it? ”

As she spoke, she somehow led the topic to Carl's object for some reason.

Carl couldn't help but smile bitterly, sure enough, no matter which world, no matter which country, this is a topic that parents care about.

Do you like the girl? It's not true, but this time I went inexplicably and had an experience that I had never had in my life, although it was not his initiative, both times it was passive.

What is called drinking to harm people, this is called drinking to harm people, although he doesn't seem to be a victim......

"What do you think?" Pyne startled Carl with a pat on the shoulder, and he had just accidentally thought about it.

"No, I was thinking about our attack on Barony Sharon later." Carl told a little lie.

"Indeed, we have won this war, so we must take advantage of the victory to pursue and take the Barony of Samo in one fell swoop!" Baron Dias said viciously.

"We may not be able to annex Barony Sharon though." Karl frowned and said, after all, Baron Sharon is a vassal of the other counts, and it is impossible for him to annex his land, otherwise it will cause a war between the two counts.

"But we can annex some of his estates, and I remember he had a property near Rensberg, and it was a small estate." Pine said.

"Oh? That's not bad, it's okay to ask for that place, and then ask for some compensation. Carl nodded.

Their army has not yet set off, but it seems that Baron Sharon has been divided up in a laughing and laughing way, but this is also the fact that in front of the current Dias family, Baron Sa is no longer an opponent.

And they didn't say anything about the distribution of post-war compensation, everyone knew that Carl led most of the regular army of Sylde Manor to the rescue, losing so many people, as well as the food consumption along the way, it was impossible to return empty-handed, which is why Carl took the loot when he just cleaned up the battlefield.

At that time, the monetary compensation will basically be given to Carl, and he will receive a small estate near Lensburg.

This is already very good, if you really want to say, that small manor will help him more than money, of course, after all, it is only a small manor, with a limited area, and it can only be said that it is worth a good value.

Only at this time will Baron Dias sigh that Karl is indeed a faction of his own now, at least now they belong to his clan, but they are different families, and he Baron Dias is only the patriarch of this clan.

Pyne didn't understand the minds of Baron Dias and Carl, and he didn't bother to think about it, he preferred to use his muscles to solve problems.

"Father, please put your army in order, we must join forces and attack Baron Sa's territory."

Baron Dias nodded, he understood what Karl meant, because most of his soldiers were reassembled by those defeated armies and routed armies, and now they were scattered and could not form a fighting force at all without regrouping.
