After the end of the battle, Richard immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, the casualties were counted, and all efforts were made to treat the wounded.

The orcs had not been able to capture the looting supplies, so in order to prevent the orc army from receiving the news, they slaughtered the prisoners.

Richard consulted with Baron Rice and decided that the soldiers would not rest after the battle, and seize the castle of Malte in a forced march to destroy the army of the orcs to manage the logistics.

In this orc invasion, the Shadevil brigade achieved good results, conquered the Barony of Dirham, and successfully looted the territories of Baron Rice, Baron Dark, and Barony Bazel, and grabbed a lot of gold coins and population.

Despite the dangerous situation, Bastruan was unwilling to give up the spoils of war and sent a half-crippled squadron of boarmen to escort the captives to the castle of Marte, the baronial of Dirham.

Richard led his troops into the Barony of Dirham, intending to capture Malte Castle first and take the orc stronghold.

However, fearing that there would be no supplies and the drag of prisoners, the main force of the orcs traveled lightly and escaped from the encirclement.

After the annihilation of the orc brigade, it was already evening.

Richard joined forces with Baron Rice and decided to take the elite and attack Malte Castle overnight.

The garrison of Malte Castle was outnumbered, with less than a hundred boarmen left to garrison.

In the face of Richard, the elite soldiers and strong generals drawn by Baron Rice were not vulnerable at all, and they were all wiped out before dawn.

At this time, the casualties have already been counted.

"Twenty-two of the second squadron were killed and fifty-three wounded, of which seven were seriously wounded and disabled, and more than half of the casualties were already allowed.

The 7th Squadron of the 8th Brigade of the Mad Lion Legion, 12 killed and 31 wounded.

Sophia's squadron lost thirty-six killed and forty-eight wounded, with a casualty ratio of more than seventy percent, and the vast majority of the backbone was lost.

Sixteen of the squadrons of the city defense army were killed and thirty-eight wounded. ”

Having commanded many battles, Richard's heart was as hard as iron.

Heavy casualties were already a number for him.

The situation in the north of the Grant Kingdom is grim, and even survival is a problem, and the people who come out of this place will not be sentimental, and their hearts are as hard as steel.

Although he dreamed back in the middle of the night, Richard occasionally remembered his past life. I miss that peaceful and happy life very much.

But after waking up from the dream, he was still a ruthless aristocratic officer in northern Xinjiang.

In Fort Mart, a large amount of supplies has been piled up, and there are more than 10,000 people.

It's different from the last orc war.

In the last war, although Richard led his troops to defeat the remnants of Wald's brigade and captured a large amount of population money.

But the commander-in-chief of the last war was Baron Harden, Richard was only a squadron leader who had just taken office, and the Harland family was not yet a hereditary nobleman, and his status was far from Baron Harden.

Even if a large amount of gold coins were seized and 6,000 people were captured, Richard would not dare to be greedy.

angered Baron Harden and assigned him a mortal mission, but no one could cry out to him at that time.

In this war, the Haaland family is already hereditary barons, and finally has human rights.

Richard was a great military accomplishment and was also the commander of the aristocratic coalition.

Having seized supplies and rescuing the population, he had a great say.

"According to statistics, the total population of Malte Castle is 10,700, of which 1,200 are from the Dak Domain, 600 from the Bazel Domain, and 2,400 from the Barony of Les. The remaining 6,500 were all subjects of the Barony of the Dirham.

In addition to the population, a large number of coins were seized from the castle, adding up to 46,000 gold coins.

In addition, 6,000 kilograms of iron ore, 1,400 kilograms of copper ore were piled up, and the grain in the warehouses was piled up in a mountain, about more than 3,000 tons.

In addition, a lot of livestock was also captured, with a total of 30 war horses, more than 100 ploughing cattle, thousands of pigs and sheep, and a few Warcraft war horses.

Farm tools, hemp rope, cloth, herbs and a few. ”

Listening to Dida's report, Richard called Baron Rice, Baron Dark, and Baron Bazel to the conference room, and then handed them a list.

"Here's a list of the seized supplies, you send someone down and order a little bit.

The captured population of your territory is counted first, and then brought back.

The remaining dirham territory has a population of 6,500 people, and our Harland family will divide it into 3,000, and the Sophia family will divide it into 1,000.

Baron Rice is divided into one thousand, Baron Dark, and Baron Bazel are divided into five hundred. ”

Richard glanced at everyone, saw that everyone was still calm, did not open his mouth to object, suppressed the idea of killing chickens and monkeys, and continued: "The territory of Haaland and Stopa is sparsely populated, so there are more points.

On the gold coin, Baron Rice was divided into 10,000, and Baron Duck and Baron Bazel were each 6,000. Our Harland territory is divided into 8,000, Stopa territory is divided into 4,000, the 7th Squadron, the City Defense Army Squadron and other participating troops are divided into 6,000, and the remaining 6,000 still need to be dealt with.

Beasts and war horses, our five territories are divided equally, but the Warcraft War Horse will be divided into our Harland territory.

We have more grain in Harland's territory, we need to take away 2,000 tons, and the rest will be divided equally between the four of you, and the ore and sundries will take a little more, and we only need a tenth of it.

The collection of books in the Dirham Territory was first sent to Vicburg, and everyone had a share and could copy it.

His family's breathing method is only four layers, and he can only cultivate to the first order of professionals, and now it is in my hands, if any family wants to copy it, they can come to me.

My opinion is this, which of you is for and who is against? ”

Richard had planned to see who was against it, and then write it down in a small notebook, and in the next battle, send him to his death.

Unexpectedly, Baron Rice and the others were quite satisfied, and they all gave a thumbs up and praised Richard as a fair commander. It seems that these guys are smart people, as long as they can get by, they will not do it.

In this battle, Richard was not only the commander of the aristocratic coalition, but also made the most important contribution, so Haaland's territory received the richest spoils.

Through several battles, the Haaland territory gained about nine thousand people, which were exchanged for more than fifty thousand gold coins.

The Dirham territory has been in business for a hundred years, and the essence has been eaten by Richard.

The brutality of the rivalry between the noble realms is evident from this.

But according to the values of the Kingdom of Grant, no one will sympathize with the Baron dirham. Just like in the last Orc War, no one will sympathize with Baron Stoppa.

The northern lord of the Grant Kingdom, once the management of the territory fails, the whole family is killed by the orcs, and the lords are either plundered by the nearby nobles, or become captives of the orcs, and the ending is even more tragic.

Every three years, after an orc invasion, there are failed lords.

Some of these hereditary lords, like Sophia, can get back up.

Some will lose their status as hereditary nobles and descend to the family class of professionals.

Of course, every time the orcs invade, there are also people who have made war exploits and been promoted to hereditary nobles, completing the leap of class identity.
