After this incident, Richard had a feeling of embarrassment when he met Baron Sharp again.

However, he did not mention yesterday's incident, and after settling the wounded soldiers, Richard returned to Vic Castle with his army, where he rested for a few days.

In the past two days, Richard has collected 500 young men from the people to replenish the battle damage.

Then, from the squadron with fewer casualties, a group of backbones were transferred to supplement the three squadrons of the first, second, and Warcraft cavalry.

Due to the serious injury of Martin, the leader of the 1st Squadron, and the death of Captain Heyman of the 2nd Squadron, Richard appointed Captain of the 9th Squadron to take up the post of Captain of the 1st Squadron and act as the Squadron Leader for a period of time, and Jennings, the Captain of the 10th Squadron, was promoted to the Captain of the 2nd Squadron.

Jennings was as old as Richard and had already served as the captain of the main squadron, which showed his talent.

The captured orc slaves, Richard still let Bernard manage, the sheep-like people were handed over to the territorial sheep-like slave tribe, and the rest of the orcs were sent to the mines.

During this orc invasion, Richard ordered the slaughter of many kobolds, and the number of kobolds in the mine was less than half.

This time, a few hundred were delivered, just enough to make up for the shortfall.

Of the more than 6,000 people rescued, Richard all made them sign a five-year contract with the territory, and distributed a large area near Sophia Fort to allow them to cultivate farmland.

Counting this population, the population controlled by the Haaland family has exceeded 50,000.

After defeating the orc Maluland, the population resources were swallowed by Richard, and the captured gold and iron were distributed to several barons.

Now that it is a state of war, although Baron Rice and others also want to divide a little population, they dare not offend Richard.

Now, if you force yourself to let Richard target him, he may be assigned a dangerous task when he fights.

Look at the Dirham Baron, who fought against the orcs with his guards, because there was no direct force to protect them, the lords and guards were all killed and wounded.

In fact, if Richard had taken care of Baron Dirham at the time, he could have stayed in the camp.

But Richard demanded that he fulfill his obligations as a nobleman and lead his troops to fight against the orcs.

This order cost the life of the Baron dirham.

Baron Dirham had only a dozen guards and two first-order warriors around him.

With such strength, he participated in the main battle with the orcs.

Soon the guards were consumed by the orcs, and the baron dirham was also killed by the orcs, and the gorgeous enchanted armor on his body also cheapened a small officer in the Warcraft cavalry squadron after cleaning the battlefield.

The Dirham family was unlucky, the last time the orcs invaded, many members of the family died, and the population accumulated over the years was also looted by the orcs.

Although Richard snatched back this part of the population from the orcs, it was impossible to give it to the Dirham family.

The Dirham family also did not have the strength to let several nearby nobles hand over the annexed population.

Sofia couldn't get Baron Harden to return the population, and the new Baron Dirham couldn't do that either.

After the war, the son of the Baron of the Dirham, ran the territory almost from scratch.

In three years, a population of more than 2,000 was finally accumulated, and the war began again.

Although the orcs did not invade the territory this time, they killed the baron in battle.

There were two generations of barons in the Dirham family, and the time of death was only three years apart.

The 400 young men led by Baron Dirham were all annexed by the coalition of nobles of Heihe County, making up for the battle losses.

For the third year in a row, it has suffered a major blow.

If the dirham family is not ambitious and greedy for life and fears death, they may give up the inheritance of the territory.

After all, there is no great strength, there is no lot of money. It is very dangerous to operate a territory in the northern Xinjiang region.

Even big names like Count Martins were killed, not to mention the tiny Dirham family.

After the total annihilation of the Maluland Division, the situation in Geda Province immediately changed.

The three-way army of orcs has been wiped out all the way, and the combined forces of the Harland family and the nobles of Heihe County have been able to free up their hands.

This force of more than 3,000 soldiers, which is invested in any battlefield, is a heavyweight weight.

Before setting out for the expedition, Richard told Sophia what he had gathered.

Seeing that Sophia showed a little strange on her face, Richard asked suspiciously: "Count Martins has not offended you, why do you have a feeling of schadenfreude." ”

Sophia said with a bit of playfulness on her face: "It is true that Count Martins has not offended me, but he has plans to marry you.

His daughter is at least half of my rival, and now that the daughter of Count Martins has died at the hands of the orcs, what is wrong with me being a little happy?

Is your compassion too overflowing?

Do you still care about the safety of your old lover? Want to marry the Earl's daughter? ”

"I told you a long time ago, I have never met the daughter of Count Martins, why do you keep pestering this?"

"Is the daughter of the Earl of Martins ugly?"

"According to my father, the Earl's daughter is a famous beauty, and you know my father's vision, very picky, and I feel that the looks of Lady Aura and Miss Kelly are a little more than yours."

Hearing this, Sophia immediately pulled down her face.

Seeing that Sophia had the intention of quarreling, Richard waved his hand and explained, "Okay, no kidding. I am not overflowing with sympathy, but the rise and fall of the Earldom of Martins, which is closely related to us.

The first father bought two thousand gold coins of the Earldom of Martins Development Bond, and now that Count Martins has died in battle, the bond will become worthless and completely defaulted.

Second, the better the development of the county of Martins, the safer the Flame Castle and Duke Edward's territory will be.

Now that the county of Martins has fallen, Fort Flame has lost its buffer and is once again the front line. Compared to three years ago, the strategic situation of the Grant Kingdom in the north has become even worse. The loss of the county of Martins has increased our pressure, and we will have to expand our army after the war, which will affect the development of the territory. ”

"I'm going to follow you on this expedition."

"You know, the fight is too dangerous. I won't let you follow you for your safety. ”

"I don't follow you, who knows if your soul will be taken away by a wild woman, it's just that the man I found is too good, and he attracts bees and butterflies wherever he goes."

"What attracts bees and butterflies? Sophia, please believe me, I am loyal to you! ”

"Did Baron Sharp send a beautiful woman to your bedside?"

"How do you know about things in the army? Are you sending men to spy on me? ”

"It was Uncle Vito who saw it, and he said it to me. He also asked me to serve a snack and keep an eye on you. "Vito is Sophia's cousin, the leader of the fifth squadron, and Richard's own soldiers include Vito's son.

"I don't agree with you going to the front to adventure?"

"Richard, if you can withstand the dangers of war, so can I. I am a five-ring magician, you can trust my abilities, and I will protect myself on the battlefield. ”
