Chapter 114: Reward
As night fell, the reorganization of the team and the treatment of the wounded came to an end for the time being, and the five thousand soldiers and sentries who were in charge of the night guard were rewarded with wealth, and the whole camp was already in a state of revelry.
Estes ordered his loot to be given to his subordinates, i.e., the entire Mobile Fortress Cloud.
Herds of cattle and sheep were slaughtered, most of them made into jerky for military rations, the rest were taken directly on the campfire, the dairy products that fell to the ground were not cared for at all, and the soldiers fought in the ring duel for the inheritance of the nobles in the clouds.
The young and strong labor in the cloud was sold to the major chambers of commerce that heard the news, and the four armies of the fortress originally had many caravans waiting for trade at all times, and these young men who became slaves would be injected into the empire along the trade network, and the children of foreign nationalities were bought by many nobles in the four counties, whether they were trained to become guards or maids, they were all good choices.
And the young alien woman is of course also a trophy, according to the merit, beheading one person can receive one, and if there is a conflict in the chosen object, then go to the ring to duel.
In the center of the camp, next to the huge campfire, Daedas lifted a battalion officer above his head and fell hard, because the other party was still his own person, he did not kill him, at most he was bedridden for a year and a half, but the position of battalion officer had to be replaced, and there was always a price to pay for the fight.
The ownership of the trophy was confirmed, and it was a rather beautiful alien girl, with healthy wheat-colored skin and slender and smooth thighs, and was crying in fear at this time, Daedas lifted the back of her neck in public, completely ignoring the girl's painful expression of suffocation.
The soldiers roared like wild beasts, this girl in silk was the blood of the Lan clan, its leader had led 100,000 horsemen to charge the battle formation, and now the clan was defeated, of course, there was no dignity at all.
"To our warriors, Knorr!"
"Noll!!"
"Noll!!"
Cheers came and went, and the left flank withstood the enemy's critical charge, which can be regarded as a remarkable feat.
Next to the small bonfire, Jiang Yuan closed the alchemy note, Estes was covered in blood, and walked over to pick up the freshly roasted leg of mutton, there were quite a few hard bones in the foreign captives, and tonight's interrogation game was more enjoyable.
"There are 2,000 people packing up their things, and you're going to go out?"
"Go north and see if there's any surprise."
Estes smiled, she didn't believe it, the other party was a character who couldn't afford to be unprofitable.
The captain escorted the alien maiden over, and Daidas, as the owner, had the right to decide who to give the loot to.
"General, Adjutant General."
Estes hesitated for a moment, then casually tossed the leg of lamb to the captain.
"Stay safe on the battlefield and step down."
"Yes!"
The captain's face turned red with excitement before leaving.
The alien girl knelt on the ground and looked at Estes shivering, and now there was no one outside the Northland who didn't know this winter hunting general, not to mention that the other party also had extremely conspicuous long blue hair.
"Do you have a specialty?" Jiang Yuan asked.
"My lord, I will...... Singing, and horseback riding. The girl replied tremblingly.
Estes glanced at it and stopped paying attention, it was scrap wood.
"Who in your relatives have died?" Jiang Yuan asked again.
"My brother and brother are dead!" The girl thought that someone was caring about her, and couldn't help crying.
Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, he has no specialty, the biggest value of this girl is beauty, but the sea of blood is deep, it is impossible for him to keep the other party by his side as a maid, because it is not worth training, and he may be able to have a good price if he sells it after packaging, but unfortunately, for him now, that little money is a complete waste of time and energy.
Although it sounds tempting to raise a queen, it is unrealistic, after all, the leader of the Lan clan is not dead, and there has never been a precedent for a queen.
Jiang Yuan looked at Estes and said, "You take it away, it's useless for me to keep it." ”
"Tsk, aren't you interested, your vision is quite high."
"Not in my aesthetic."
Jiang Yuan got up to leave, Estes stared at the girl thoughtfully, she really didn't know what it was like to train waste materials, and besides, was it really useless if Noel thought it was useless?
She didn't think so.
"Hey, in the future, when I am my herald, run ten laps around the camp first, let me see your fitness."
"Ming...... Got it. ”
……
At dawn, a cavalry force of 2,300 men began to march north, lightly armoured, crossbowed, swords and guns, and due to the fall of the mobile fortress in the clouds, this force carried enough dry rations, and the dried meat was ground into powder mixed with fat, and after solidification, it became military food balls capable of providing high calories.
At the same time, as the cavalry of the alien race was dispersed into the grassland, the news of Su Bu's death spread wildly, and the defeat of the left bone marquis lost a large number of young people, which directly added to the already bad situation of the alien race.
However, the collapse of the mountain overhead made the tribes ready to move, and if they wanted to survive the winter after the past, in addition to going south, it was actually possible to absorb the bones of other tribes of the same tribe, and not all tribal leaders were far-sighted.
With the passage of time, some tribes have begun to fight, even if the Winter Hunting troops and the Imperial Border Army have also suffered heavy losses, but no one is willing to take the initiative to provoke a war again, Su Bu is very powerful, few people feel that they can defeat each other, even if they have confidence in themselves, the grassland will not be able to gather 300,000 cavalry in a few years.
On the tenth day after the end of the Winter Hunting War, in the royal palace of the foreign capital of Daigun.
"How's it going?" The king of the clan asked his ministers.
"The Hui king, the people of the capital have been evacuated, the seven rebellious tribal leaders have been imprisoned in their cells, and the nobles who have been grounded have been revolting very seriously recently, and there are now signs of asking for troops from outside."
Only the fall of the king's capital, which has stood for hundreds of years, can make all the people on the grassland realize that the disaster of extermination is imminent, and the intermittent rise cannot break through the four moats of the empire after all, and can only rely on blood and courage to fight with one blow.
After the ministers left, there was only a father and son left in the palace, and the clan king said gently, "The cold wave came too fast, I put all my hopes on you, you have always been the best in my eyes, remember, no matter what the situation, don't lose confidence, in case of failure, even if you lick the enemy's upper, you have to live, so heavy, I hope you don't blame me." ”
Numa was silent for a moment before he spoke softly, "Your choice is a little ...... Extreme. ”
The clan king was stunned, then shook his head and smiled, sighed and replied, "Child, you don't have the one who understands me, as the king of the clan, can tolerate other people holding 300,000 heavy soldiers, there must be something that you have to get even if you die, whether it is ambition or long-cherished wishes, life is nothing in the face of this kind of opportunity, Numa, blood ties connect you and me, and my will will be passed on to you." ”
Numa no longer objected, choosing to respect the man in front of him.
