In addition to the casualty figures of the far-travelers, the losses of the rest of the troops were naturally recorded in the eucalyptus.

More than three hundred levies died, half of which were lost in the siege of the southern wall, especially the vanguard and the first two waves;

The other half appeared in the succession of the 'tunnel breakthrough battle' in the north, and some died in the early stage of the sabotage battle, and some died in the later pursuit battle.

In addition, more than 40 middle- and lower-ranking officers died, most of them in the Protest Officer Corps under the north wall, and the other half in the south wall.

Although the argument is cruel, some of these deaths do fall under the 'necessary price';

The other part, as mentioned earlier, is 'unnecessary loss' caused by various reasons.

But in any case, since the matter has come to this point, the most important thing is how to do a good job in the follow-up treatment.

Of course, all this will have to wait until the army returns.

In addition to these shortcomings and many things that need to be improved, this campaign has provided some inspiration for Nesta.

The early policy of "separation of military and civilian" did have merit, but in the current era, it still seems somewhat out of place.

Judging from the area controlled by the trolls now, if the policy of "separation of military and civilian" is to be implemented 100%, then even if the regular army breaks its legs, it will not be able to fully control the security of all the land under its rule.

As a result, the militia emerged and took over a large part of the security tasks in the rear, and actually took the place of the regular army to bear the casualties on the defensive end.

It was since then that the so-called "separation of military and civilian" policy has become a huge loophole, and the "each according to his duties" that Nesta envisioned at the beginning has become a utopia.

The use of 'conscripts' this time can be regarded as tearing off the last piece of 'fig leaf', making this outdated policy completely 'bankrupt'."

To this day, there are too many examples of Nesta's policies that have failed for one reason or another;

Maybe the rest of the trolls didn't feel it, and thought it was a 'natural change', but he was quite aware of it.

The deviations, substitutions, and abandonments of those policies in the subsequent implementation process could have made him regret and shame earlier, but now Nesta's face has become thick enough;

He can already adjust his state of mind in similar situations with thoughts such as 'I think this way' and 'these changes are under my control', and no longer be disturbed by useless thoughts other than 'strain'.

And this time it's the same, failure is failure, anyway, you don't suffer too much loss, so let's start looking for change.

As a result, new ideas gradually took shape in his mind.....

Periodically, some soldiers should be retired from active service, and local militia training units should be established to implement more formalized militia training, in an attempt to avoid the recurrence of those negative situations in this war;

The active part has become an elite 'fast reaction force' directly controlled by the ministry, so that it can be 'dispatched at any time' and 'hit wherever it is'";

Since there is a "retired active service," it is also necessary to regularly recruit new blood from the civilian population to become a "rapid response force" to make up for the shortage in the number of combat troops.

In addition, the goal of selecting outstanding officers from among the soldiers for officer training and expanding the 'officer pool' of the headquarters is naturally as much as possible, even if there are hundreds or thousands of headquarters.

Levies, on the other hand, became frequent visitors to the campaign, assembling according to their needs in times of war, and fighting under the leadership of their own officers; After the end of the war, in addition to leaving some of the outstanding ones to train for further study, most of them were released to the small collectives from which they came from and continued their original lives.

Since 'separating the military from the people' is not feasible, it seems to be a feasible idea to turn around and 'hide the troops among the people', and the headquarters only controls the most elite standing troops and officers at all levels?

Nesta writes and draws on paper, prepares it and takes it to the 'military council' for detailed discussion.

After pondering the gains and losses of the tribe itself, he finally turned his attention to the focus of the report, which was the disposition of the 'surrender' of the hornhoof, and the magical powers mentioned by the witch doctors that were completely different from his own.

First of all, it is clear that after this war, the "secular aristocracy" of the Toulon tribe (only the beginning, not really aristocratic) was greatly damaged;

The chieftain and his two sons died tragically, thirteen of the seventeen clan chiefs were lost, and the elite forces of their respective clans were also lost in the battle.

Second, the Hornhoof's elite legions were almost wiped out, none of the Ancestral Spirit Legions survived, and the Earthshaker Legion was left with less than two hundred damaged personnel.

Thirdly, although the shamans were involved in the war from beginning to end, they were able to retain their unique way of fighting from the front line, and finally made the collective decision to surrender.

Finally, the hornhoe civilians also suffered heavy losses;

They became militia members to participate in the defense of the city, and nearly 5,000 were killed in battle, most of them died in the 'rampage' in the north of the city.

In addition, due to the repeated ravages of various types of catapults and the arson of the fields outside the city by the trolls, the Hornhoof tribe also suffered heavy losses in terms of property;

Especially in the south, almost half of the crown wheat fields have been wiped out, and there may be a large shortage of grain this year.

After secretly scolding the 'loser', Nesta didn't pay much attention to it, the headquarters has enough food output this year, even if it is more than enough to support the past part;

However, there is no such thing as a free good, and the hornhoes must pay the necessary price for it.

But as for their arrangement, Nesta is a little undecided, not knowing what kind of arrangement can maximize the benefits.....

There is no need for him to make up his own mind, isn't this what the Rune Council and the ruling government are all about? Let them discuss it first.

Therefore, while the city of New Toulon was busy with the surrender and takeover of the city and the restoration of stability, the headquarters began to discuss the question of "how to deal with the aftermath" for a while.

The ruling government's views are relatively radical, and can be summarized as 'massacre', 'expulsion', and 'internal migration' according to the degree.

The Rune Council, on the other hand, is more concerned with the reception of the 'magic inheritance', and in order to avoid the shamans from taking their knowledge to 'jade burning', the witch doctors are more subdued;

Moreover, considering that unless the focus of operations is immediately shifted and control over part of the Black Forest is relinquished, so as to project more sufficient forces outside the pass, the tribe will not have the ability to immediately develop the actual situation of the 'Heavenly Plateau';

The witch doctors believe that the government's three recommendations are not reliable, and that they will only cede the land to possible 'latecomers'.

Therefore, the final decision of the Rune Council is to keep the 'transformed' horn hoof, and let them stay in that land for the time being, and 'defend the territory' for the trolls under the supervision of the headquarters."

The premise of this decision was that the Toulon tribe explicitly and de facto recognized the status of the 'suzerain' of the Tooth tribe de jure and de facto, and voluntarily surrendered all their magical traditions, including the 'spirit of the ancestors', as well as all the outside information they possessed.

[To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】

In order to ensure the implementation and stability of this order, a new track construction plan has also been planned and approved;

That is, the 'Motobu-Toulon Line' starts from the main part, runs north along the banks of the Black River, and finally passes through the narrow valley to reach the city of New Toulon.

The construction of this track will be relatively difficult, especially since the terrain between the narrow mountains is very complex, and there are many situations that have not been encountered before.

However, the line does not need to be started immediately, and for a long time, the transportation capacity of Heihe shipping is actually enough to support the maintenance of the headquarters on the Tianci Plateau.

Therefore, the headquarters will first build the two rail lines that were previously controversial in the plan, and only after accumulating more experience will it turn due north.

Of course, there is a premise for all this, that is, the Toulon horn hoof species is really willing to bow down.

And this, we have to wait for the new news from the Giant Fang.....

The Rune Council's decision was swiftly sent north along the previous communication channels, and was delivered to the seven witch doctors and the Great Fang a few days later.

At this time, the expeditionary force had completed the control of the city of New Toulon, and in order to avoid another killing, Giant Fang ordered the implementation of the strictest 'curfew' and 'day curfew' policies in the city, so that the hornhoofs were not necessary to stay at home and not go out;

The same goes for those hornhoofs who have lost their homes during the war, and wherever they may be staying for the time being, it is better not to show up on the streets.

This measure was well implemented with the help of shamans, and there is hardly any difference on the streets today, except for the patrolling army of the Yabu.

And although the shamans have decided to surrender, they have not lost their due care;

Except for the first day, when they collectively came to Cui Wenli to express their desires, they have maintained at least half of the shaman's power on the altar during the time spent in waiting.

Of course, the chief priest had to show his face anyway, and the expeditionary force could not allow him to be on the altar and out of sight;

Therefore, after obtaining the promise of the Giant Fang's 'Sealing Blade', he led a group of shamans out of the ancestral altar and began to assist the troll army in the city.

As for the rest of the shamans, Megafang, and the seven witch doctors were not too persecutive;

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the expeditionary force did not seek to set foot on the altar, but only blocked the streets around the altar at a distance, making this place a 'no man's land'.
