Chapter 57: Sentinel Battle II

In today's battle, Richard judged accurately, took advantage of the orc squadron to paralyze carelessness, seized the fighter plane, and annihilated a squadron of orcs with superior forces, cutting off more than 100 orc heads.

He also captured more than forty orc captives, and the orcs who fled the battlefield were only about ten people.

After the war, Richard counted the casualties and used healing techniques for the wounded soldiers.

The Harland Territory is still under development, and there are no Dawn priests stationed at the moment.

Although the number of clergy in the Church of Dawn is large, it is far from enough to be scattered in dozens of countries.

In order to get clergy into the territory, you need to have a good relationship with the church.

The Haraland family has no church affiliations, and the priest does not want to come to the barren territory to suffer.

Besides, Richard had made some reforms in his territory, and he didn't want outsiders to enter.

There are two magicians in the territory, Richard and Wendy, which is enough to use healing techniques for the people and soldiers.

"The first squadron suffered three killed, six wounded, and two were seriously wounded."

"The second squadron lost four, two seriously wounded, seven lightly wounded."

After the battle, Martin and reported the casualty figures to Richard.

Suffering more than twenty casualties and annihilating a complete squadron of orcs, Richard was very satisfied with this exchange ratio.

Moreover, several seriously injured people did not break their arms and legs, and they can recover after a few months of recuperation.

After experiencing the flames of war, the combat experience of the wounded soldiers will increase, and the combat effectiveness will also increase.

After the battle, Richard's impression of Martin changed slightly.

If he continues to play tricks today and doesn't take the initiative to intercept the orc squadron leader and cause Wendy to have an accident, Richard may enforce battlefield discipline after the war and cut off his head.

Fortunately, Martin took the responsibility, and Richard did not need to make an example.

In today's battle, Richard didn't plan to let Wendy participate, but Wendy took the initiative to ask to participate in the war.

As a nobleman in the north, he will inevitably experience various battles in his life.

Seeing that Wendy took the initiative to ask for battle, Richard agreed to her request.

Before the war, Richard arranged for Jennings to protect Wendy, allowing her to cast spells in the safest place and feel the atmosphere of the battlefield for herself.

Unexpectedly, after the battle, Wendy actually went to the front row to facilitate the casting of spells and became the primary target of the orc squadron leader.

If Martin hadn't pinned down the orc squadron leader and relied on Jennings, he would never be Haru's opponent.

In today's battle, Richard killed two orc professionals and gained 3,000 experience points.

It's been four months since he killed the rhinoceros, and in the past four months, Richard has improved his skills and learned a new one-ring spell, Cryo Ray.

Recently, Richard was still learning greasy techniques.

Although he became a two-ring magician, he still hasn't learned a single two-ring spell.

Counting the magical knowledge exchanged with Sophia, the Harland family treasures six second-ring spells.

However, the magic pattern of the two-ring spell is more complicated, and it takes a long time to learn a two-ring spell, and it is not as cost-effective as learning a few more practical one-ring magic.

This battle killed eight orc professionals and wiped out a squadron of orcs.

Richard took off the orc materials that he could use, and sent the head to the city hall of Blackriver Castle to ask for credit from his superiors.

When he was serving in the Lion Legion, he could just send the orc head to the legion headquarters.

Now that he has left the Lion Legion and has become a noble private army, the fief of the Harland family is under the jurisdiction of Heihe County. In the event of a war, the Baron's private army is also under the command of the Governor of Heihe County.

The mayor of Heihe County also needs to send the orc head to Fort Leyte, the capital of Geda Province, and after the provincial consul verifies it, it is sent to the noble council for signature and seal, and the battle merit will be issued.

Locally, unlike the army, the structure of the army is relatively simple, everything is for victory, and the certification of combat exploits is very fast, which basically guarantees fairness.

The local area is a little looser, and it is separated from the county level, so it often needs to be dotted. When the noble lords get through the relationship, the battle exploits can be recognized and smoothly distributed.

However, the northern frontier has experienced wars all year round, and the noble council attaches great importance to this side of the matter.

Once the nobles are provoked, they will complain at the nobles' meeting and let the upper echelons of the Grant Kingdom hear. The provincial consuls will also have trouble and can only deal with the people below and appease the anger of the nobles.

Therefore, it will not be too much to check the officials who are at the head and issue military exploits.

In short, how to grasp the scale?

How did the aristocracy play with the bureaucracy? It is a relatively deep knowledge, and no one can easily cross the line.

If you cross each other's default unspoken rules, you will be targeted by the vast majority of people, and there will be no good results.

Richard has a more introverted personality and is not good at managing contacts and building relationships.

This time I went to Heihe Fort to ask for credit, and I still relied on William to dredge up the relationship.

In a few days in a row, more than fifty gold coins were spent, and gifts were given to five or six heavyweight bureaucrats, and the letter finally came from the city hall of Heihe County.

This operation was of little significance, but it got off to a good start, and really eliminated a squadron of orcs. The Council of Nobles also wanted to curry favor and generously gave Richard a medium credit.

Eight orc professional heads, one third-order, two second-order, and five first-order, in total in exchange for one medium merit and two minor merits.

Among them, Richard killed a third-order wolf-headed man and a second-order kobold, and obtained five minor merits.

kills a second-order boar man and is honored with two minor merits.

Wendy killed a first-order minotaur and a first-order wolf-headed man, and was awarded two minor merits.

Bradrick and Vincent each killed a first-order kobold and were awarded a small merit.

The last of the 1st Order Boar Man, who died at the hands of High Warrior Cadet Pierce.

Heyman is no longer young, and his two sons are of average talent, and they have just entered the Knight Academy of the Kingdom of Grant. Now there is no plan to accumulate meritorious deeds and advance to hereditary nobility, but is ready to exchange meritorious deeds for some money and buy some land for children.

Hayman exchanged two small works for ten acres of paddy fields and twenty acres of dry land.

Bradrick, Vincent, and Pierce were all slave soldiers.

Bradlick was a contract slave with a relatively high status, and Richard rewarded him with a bottle of Ascendant Elixir.

Vincent and Pierce are not free now, and their achievements today are due to the Haraland family's resource training.

Now that Vincent is a professional and has advanced to the status of indentured servant, he will need to serve the Haraland family for ten years before he can be freed.

Pierce was still an ordinary slave soldier, and he didn't even have a military pay.

In order to boost morale, Richard paid the soldiers a military pay after the war, and each soldier was given a salary of six silver coins.

Pierce killed the orc professional, and Richard rewarded him with ten gold coins.

As a serf-turned-soldier, having received ten gold coins, Pierce was already satisfied.

In this battle, he won two medium merits and two minor merits, both of which were counted in the name of the Haaland family.
