Chapter 37: Domme Town Arrives (Seeking Follow-up)
"Huh." Norman gave the other a blank look and shook his head. "After being a mercenary group for a long time, it's really better for you to just become a mercenary."
"Don't hurt me." Bart pursed his lips, snatched the water bladder, took a sip, and smacked his lips. "Tell me, what did you find?"
"I didn't find out, someone saw it." Norman corrected himself and continued. "It was the monkey who saw it and told me, and I went to see it myself, and found that it was indeed the army sent by this Baron Claire."
"What?" Bart was still confused. "You mean you saw Baron Clare's army attacking other people's territory?"
"yes." Norman nodded and pointed southwest.
"You know Domey, it's probably been taken down by this Baron Claire now."
"Impossible!" Bart's eyes widened in disbelief. "If Baron Claire has this strength, then what else do you want us to do. Besides, where did he get his army? A baron with no roots, first took the town of Tilling, and then the town of Dome, impossible! ”
"Oh, really, I saw it with my own eyes." Norman thought for a moment and said seriously. "Just yesterday afternoon, the vice-captain of the Earl of Wright's guard, who came, attacked the town of Domme with a few hundred men. At that time, the two sides fought fiercely, but the mage on the other side of Dorme Town was obviously paddling, and presumably the defenders of Domme Town would soon be no match for each other. ”
"Paddle, isn't that magician in Dome a second-order? What is Marven called, isn't it invited by the town of Domme for a lot of money? Bart was intrigued.
"You know that you paid for it, so you have to work hard for money?" Norman glanced at the other party and said slowly. "Perhaps, at this time, people have already had a good time drinking with the enemy."
"Is it so undisciplined?" Bart was shocked.
"Oh, the sorcerer's discipline." Norman snorted coldly, and couldn't help but think of some old friend. "Is there discipline in this profession?"
At the same time, a certain great magician rubbed his nose and was rushing from the royal capital to Three Rivers City.
"It's strange, who is talking about me, and I don't know how my precious grandson is doing now, whether he misses me. Haha, this time I know some amazing news, and the next time will be wonderful. ”
Norman guessed right, and the process of Wade and Evan taking Dorme Town, although it was thrilling at one time, was ultimately a quiet success. A big reason is that the second-order magician was grinding foreign work on the battlefield, and he couldn't do his work, and after several second-order professionals in his teammates were killed or seriously injured, he simply surrendered with the rest of the soldiers.
As a second-order magician, Marven didn't have any psychological burden on surrendering, and according to his agreement with the Dome Town Council, he could indeed surrender when he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat. Moreover, as a noble magician, under normal circumstances, even if you surrender, you will receive enough respect and courtesy.
No, Wade and Evan were just as polite to Marven. After the battle, Marven was sent back to his residence, and he also decided to invite the other party to a banquet on another day to ensure that the rights and interests of the other party would not be violated for the time being.
No way, in this world, the status of magicians is higher than other professions. It's not just because a magician needs more talent, but also because of the knowledge that a magician has. Among the professionals, there are a lot of illiterate people, and what about magicians, not to mention that you must write and draw to make magic scrolls, let's just say all kinds of magic allusions and cheats, and you can't read a bunch of them? A good magician is not only about the amount of magical energy he has, but also about how knowledgeable he is.
So, under normal circumstances, no one would want to offend a magician. After all, many times, only other people ask for magicians, and no magicians ask for people.
What's more, Wade and Evan do not have the final say on how to deal with Marven. Wade is only the number two person in the territory, and without Claire's authorization, it is absolutely impossible to make decisions privately.
Although Evan is not controlled by Claire, he is a person who takes money to help, so naturally he will not offend a magician for Claire's benefit, so he naturally pretends that nothing happened. After all, he was only here to help Claire take Domey, and other things were out of his help.
In this small-scale battle, although the number of participants was less than 1,000, the proportion of casualties was still very large, more than 200 people, most of whom were the defenders of Domey, the rest were Wade's troops, and only a few of the soldiers brought by Evan were unfortunately killed.
It's not that Evan deliberately betrayed his teammates and consumed Wade's soldiers during the battle, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on the three sides.
The eastern part of the kingdom has been peaceful for a long time, and although there are constant small-scale frictions between local lords, it has hardly developed into large-scale wars, and autonomous towns like Dome, which are protected by the big lords, basically do not know what war is.
Therefore, even if in order to prevent bandits and unruly mercenary groups on weekdays, Dorme Town maintains a standing army that seems to be of decent size, but it has been away from the battle formation for a long time and has neglected training, so it is naturally vulnerable compared to the standing army of a big lord like Count Wright.
Not to mention the standing army of the Great Lord, even Wade's newly recruited recruits who have been training for several weeks are much better than the guards in Dome Town on the battlefield.
Therefore, the final casualty results are also closely related to the combat effectiveness of the three armies. If it weren't for the fact that Dorme Town still had nearly 10 low-level professionals to help in the battle, which caused a lot of trouble to Wade and Evan, maybe this battle would have ended more easily.
In the end, Wade and Evan were both satisfied.
The soldiers under Command Evan did not suffer many casualties, which meant that there was no need to explain too much to Earl Wright at that time, and this windfall was completely earned.
As for Wade, although most of the recruits are basically painted, after a trial of blood and fire, they can be regarded as veterans, and the next battle will be more reliable, and the casualties will be greatly reduced.
Almost all of the elite armies in the era of cold weapons came over like this.
After taking Domey, Wade sent a message to Claire to tell him the good news and hoped that Claire would take the time to visit Domey.
In addition to how to deal with Marven, there are also a lot of things to do to take over the territory.
Unlike Wade, who started to get busy after entering Domey, Evan was very relaxed.
With Claire's generosity, she must have her share of the spoils of Domé Town.
After successfully completing the mission, Evan now only needs to do one last thing to call it a day with the final payment and return to Trois-Rivières with these soldiers.
This last thing is to stop some unlucky guy who originally took over the town of Dome.
This kind of work, in his capacity, is still very simple. The vassals of Trois-Rivières, who would dare not sell Count Wright's captain of the guard a piece of face?
