Ye Tianlong naturally saw that this group of mercenaries was deliberately delaying time, but he considered that the real main force of the Swadia Kingdom was cavalry, even if he continued to pursue directly, if the other party was bent on escaping, it would be difficult for his own troops lacking cavalry to leave them behind. Therefore, Ye Tianlong simply cooperated with these mercenaries to perform a scene, negotiated a condition that was satisfactory to both parties, and finally surrendered the more than 300 mercenary soldiers without a single soldier.

The big nobles who stayed in the camp heard that Ye Tianlong's side easily forced back the main army of the Svadia Kingdom, and also surrendered hundreds of troops, they were all dumbfounded, thinking that this King Haraus was really beaten to the point of death by his own side? It was so vulnerable that he didn't dare to fight and withdrew.

After discovering that the enemy army seemed to be vulnerable, those great nobles couldn't help but have the idea of making meritorious contributions, and soon asked King Ragnar to fight.

King Ragnar also wanted to expel the enemy army from the territory as soon as possible, so he also agreed to the request of these great nobles and let them attack separately.

However, soon, several Nord noble troops that were pursuing more closely were counterattacked by the side of the Swadia Kingdom, and the total loss of at least 1,500 troops was lost, if it weren't for Ye Tianlong and his troops quickly catching up, he almost turned the tide of the battle on the other side.

Ye Tianlong looked at the enemy cavalry who were rapidly evacuating, and he also felt a little helpless, there are many cavalry, they can do whatever they want! The initiative on this battlefield has always been in the hands of the other party, and if you want to fight, you can fight, and if you want to withdraw, you can withdraw!

And the other party seemed to know that he was powerful, and once he rushed over with his troops, the other party immediately retreated, without any love.

However, although there were a few twists and turns, in the end, the Nord Kingdom finally forced all the enemy troops out of the border, and this national war was temporarily silenced.

Because the two sides didn't even agree on an armistice agreement or anything, Ye Tianlong could see that the Swadia Kingdom had not been subdued, and the battle between the two sides would resume at any time, and he would have to continue to find ways to expand the army and train his troops after he went back this time.

The most important thing is that he must also train more cavalry, and the cavalry in his hands is still too little, and it will not play much role in the battle at all.

He also captured more than 50 enemy horses this time, plus the horses that Jiang You brought the caravan that was about to buy back, Ye Tianlong estimated that he would be able to form a cavalry force of more than 100 people after he returned this time.

In addition to the horses, Ye Tianlong also captured a large number of enemy weapons and armor this time, most of which were half sold and half given away by Ye Tianlong to Viscount Sol and King Ragnar, and the captured enemy soldiers also divided some of the rest he picked and handed them to Viscount Sol, so that he could quickly replenish the losses of his troops, and he himself only selected 500 people from the more than 700 captives to supplement his troops.

Ye Tianlong's generous behavior made Viscount Sol very moved, the relationship with Ye Tianlong has progressed rapidly these days, and even to the point of calling him a brother, even the king of Ragnar has a very good impression of Ye Tianlong, and feels that Sol has helped him promote a very good young man.

And for Ye Tianlong, giving away a bunch of equipment that is similar to scrap copper and rotten iron to him can gain the favorability of Viscount Thor and King Ragnar, this business is really profitable for him!

After making sure that all the troops of the Kingdom of Swadia had been expelled from the country, King Ragnar disbanded his army, leaving all but 500 soldiers and horses to garrison the border.

This is actually a huge drawback of the feudal state, because those nobles are not only the military commanders of their own troops, but also the political managers of their own territories, so they can't maintain this kind of national group army of thousands of people for a long time, otherwise the territories of each lord will be left unattended for a long time, and they will soon be abandoned or even chaotic.

In contrast, Ye Tianlong felt that the centralized monarchy system that they had completed early in the east was much more advanced, although if they encountered a faint monarch, the country would weaken rapidly, but if the monarch was wise enough, he would be able to unite the forces of the entire country, maintain a long-term campaign for several years or even more than ten years, and the number of troops could reach hundreds of thousands or even millions at every turn.

In a feudal country like the Nord Kingdom, the king's ability to rule the country can be said to be extremely limited, after all, this feudal country is playing the set of feudal construction, so it is called a feudal system.

Those noble lords who are divided into various places have a high degree of autonomy for their own territories, basically except for paying taxes on time and sending some soldiers to respond to the king's signs in the event of a national war, at other times those noble lords are completely the emperor of their own territory, and they can do whatever they want! You can even make some strange laws that are unique to your own territory, such as the 'right of first night' and the like.

The advantage of this is that it can greatly mobilize the initiative of those noble lords, after all, since this territory has been completely divided to you, so that you can be free to do whatever it wants, then those noble lords in order to satisfy their own desires, naturally have to build their own territory, otherwise the territory is so poor that there are not even a few people, even if they want to be powerful, they don't have that condition!

And the disadvantage of this is that the king's binding power on these noble lords has become extremely small, for example, this time King Ragnar tried his best to find a reason to give Sol and Ye Tianlong a little more land, and gave those big lords some monetary compensation.

The reason that King Ragnar came up with is also very simple, that is, those territories have been held by those big nobles for a long time, but they have not been developed, and there is a suspicion of abandonment, so he King Ragnar gave them to others, so that those territories can be developed as soon as possible and produce their due value.

This is also because of the momentum of this big victory, coupled with the fact that those big nobles had ghosts in their hearts because of their scheming Viscount Sol, King Ragnar was able to successfully cut out a few pieces of wasteland from these guys and gave them to Ye Tianlong and Thor.

If it were in normal times, even King Ragnar would have no way to take these big nobles, after all, the power of those big nobles in the Nord Kingdom can be said to be deep-rooted, although a single force is not as good as the royal family, but if combined, it can use more resources and troops than King Ragnar.

After receiving the order of King Ragnar to disband the national army, the nobles who did not gain anything in this national war and frequently lost their troops immediately returned to their territory with their armies.

Ye Tianlong and Viscount Thor still had a large number of prisoners and booty to escort, but the speed was a little slower, and after the big nobles had all left, they slowly packed up the loot and began to return to the territory together.

On the way back, because he was not in a hurry, Ye Tianlong would sometimes even stop to help some villages or towns drive out some bandits and bandits entrenched in them.

Of course, this is not that Ye Tianlong likes to meddle in things, but in this way, he can get prestige and honor points, he has not forgotten that last time he relied on the prestige points accumulated before, and exchanged them for thirty-nine powerful Kusher Khan guards in one go, and maybe he will use this reputation and honor points in the future! If he can easily get some, he will naturally not miss this opportunity.

In this way, it took Ye Tianlong more than a week to finally return to his territory.

After returning to his territory, Ye Tianlong was also ready to use up the week's recruitment quota.

However, just when Ye Tianlong opened the panel to prepare for operation, he found that the screen of the panel seemed to be cracked, and I don't know when several black lines appeared on it.

Ye Tianlong stretched out his hand and stroked these black lines, and he was also thinking about why this situation occurred.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the most likely possibility of this situation should be caused by those extraterritorial demons, although he had killed one demon before, but now it seems that the evil demons that have invaded the world of riding and slashing should be more than this one, and there are other ones that are developing in the dark! After the other party completely controls this side of the world, perhaps all the permissions granted to them by the god of the game to these virtual world guards will be completely invalid.

As for now, Ye Tianlong has tried to operate a few functions, but he has not noticed anything wrong for the time being. However, this also brought Ye Tianlong a lot of pressure and gave him a sense of urgency.

After summoning more than fifty newcomers, Ye Tianlong handed over the task of giving these newcomers the rules of the science camp to Luo Chenguang and the others, and then took Zhang Dashu to the places where the dragon grass was planted to check the growth of these spirit grasses.

What made Ye Tianlong happy was that under the careful care of Zhang Dashu, these dragon grasses were growing very well, and they would be able to harvest the first crop in about a week.

When he harvests this stubble of dragon grass, he can use these dragon grass as the main material to refine the dragon pill. Next, whether he can cultivate a heavier cavalry force that is more powerful than the Swadia knights depends on this dragon pill, after all, the production and quality of horses in the Nord Kingdom where he is located are far inferior to the Swadia Kingdom, and if he wants to breed a better war horse in a short period of time, he can only rely on this dragon pill to achieve corner overtaking.

What made Ye Tianlong even more pleased was that among this group of newcomers, there was actually a firearms expert who he had been looking forward to before.

This firearms expert is named Guan Jun, and he is Luo Chenguang's old comrade-in-arms in the army before, Luo Chenguang contacted several of his old comrades-in-arms in the army some time ago, and when this wave of summoning, there was finally one who was successfully summoned by Ye Tianlong.

Ye Tianlong is also unsuspicious of employing people, and immediately handed over his own firearms development and improvement work to this expert, and became the shopkeeper in a chic manner.
