The fall of the logistical pass was simply news of the collapse of the sky for the Northern Army.

The 100,000-strong army on the front line collapsed on the spot when they saw the pitch-black plume of smoke rising from the rear.

Including Stur-Nimi.

He stared blankly at the black plume of smoke rising into the sky, and after a long time picked up the communication stone and said, "Surrender, alas. ”

The 100,000-strong army laid down the weapons in their hands.

This big victory directly led to the overcrowding of the city of Cthirand.

The prison is too small to fit, not at all.

In the end, the prisoners were allowed to cut down trees and build simple wooden houses outside, which reluctantly locked up these prisoners of war.

And this great victory made all the fronts of the Southern Army feel like a rainbow, causing the Northern Army to voluntarily abandon at least 30 kilometers of defense line and retreat to what they thought was safe.

The Southern Army took back three important strategic towns in one go.

New York City.

The whole city entered a state of revelry, and even the gray orcs were allowed to play on the streets, so you can imagine the significance of this victory for the southerners.

A hundred thousand captives.

New York went crazy for five days, and it wasn't until the sixth day that the people gradually calmed down from the ecstasy.

Hardy also returned to the vicinity of New York with the army, and then they were about to take over Lewisian.

The new king, Ariana Rommel, secretly received Hardy, Lady Sissi, and Andrew.

The four of them sat in the small room, and everyone was happy.

"Thanks to the three of you for your help." Riana Rommel raised her glass and said with a smile: "Next, it's the turn of our Southern Army." ”

The wine glasses of the four of them clinked together.

Lady Sissi just took a sip and stopped drinking.

No one forced her to drink.

After all, now that she is the patriarch of the Jeanne family on the surface, no one dares to despise her casually.

Andrew put down his glass and asked, "King Rommel, what do you think about those 100,000 captives?" ”

Ariana thought for a moment and said, "We are very short of people in the south, and I plan to keep these people and slowly change them to become southerners." ”

"It's a little difficult, isn't it?" Andrew said with some anticipation: "After all, they should all have families in the north." ”

"I will come up with a series of policies to help them integrate into the South." Arianna laughed.

He knew that Andrew had taken a crush on the captives and wanted to take a few.

But there is really a shortage of people in the south, but the gray orcs are not human.

Andrew saw that the king had no intention of relenting, so he had to sigh.

At this time, Ariana turned her head and asked, "Lord Hardy, what are your plans next?" ”

"Of course, it's the construction of Lewis County." Hardy sipped his wine and said, "We only have half a year at most, and in half a year, the Northern Army will definitely make a comeback." ”

Arianna seemed relieved to hear Hardy say this: "Then trouble Lord Hardy." ”

"It's okay, it's also helping myself." Then Hardy turned his head to look at Andrew: "Next, how about we leave 3,000 men each on the March Line?" ”

"No problem." Andrew Spencer's face was full of excitement: "But I want to return to China to accept the canonization, so those 3,000 people will be temporarily managed by our young generals." ”

Andrew can be regarded as expanding the territory for Caldor, fulfilling the wish of the Cardor's people for a hundred years.

Therefore, the award he received was particularly substantial.

Not only did he canonize a large piece of territory in the country, but he was even directly promoted from a marquis to a duke.

He had returned to attend the ceremony.

"Congratulations." Hardy toasted to him.

And Andrew and Hardy clinked their glasses and said with a smile: "Your reward will definitely not be less." ”

"That's natural." Lady Sissi looked at Hardy and smiled softly.

Both of them realized something, after all, they had been through too much, and their eyes became a little teasing.

They felt that in such a situation, it didn't seem to matter too much whether Hardy was rewarded or not.

The dinner lasted until midnight, and many special verbal contracts were made in the four-person room.

After dinner, Hardy took Lady Sissi to a hotel.

Naturally, the two female players followed.

Then Nicai spent the night in the hallway outside, while passively listening to the corner of the wall all night.

The next day, it was the same state of dark circles again.

On the contrary, it was Lady Sissi and Alice, who were radiant and energetic.

Then Hardy led the army over the mountains and into the county of Lewisian.

Took over the place.

The county of Louis is very large, almost one-third of Francia's land area.

It also has a 10-kilometer border with Francie, which can be said to be an excellent place for development.

On this day, Hadi took the initiative to convene a general meeting.

After everyone arrived, he looked around the crowd and found that there were a few familiar faces missing, so he had to sigh softly in his heart.

There is no way, there will be sacrifices in war.

"The North-South campaign is not over yet, but our local campaign is over." Hardy said with a smile: "This time, we not only made a lot of money, but also a lot of land. Next, we will talk about meritorious deeds, take the money for those who should take the money, and take the land for those who want to take the land. Of course...... For the same feat, the land acquired in the country will be much smaller, and if the land is acquired in Lewisian, it will be twice the area. If you would like to be a knight or a minor lord in Lewisian, please raise your hand. ”

No one raised their hand.

Everyone likes the country, but they don't like to be in this kind of place that needs to be explored.

Hardy waited for a moment, and found that he had raised his hand.

"I'd like to stay in Lewis County." And Xi Xi raised his hand.

Hardy nodded.

In fact, it didn't matter if anyone wanted to stay in Lewis County or not.

After all, this is a fertile soil, and he has no problem eating it all by himself.

However, some generals were puzzled and asked, "Why are you willing to stay here?" ”

"There's gray orcs here to help with the work." And Xi Xi smiled: "You can save a lot of money." What is saved is earned. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone felt that it made sense.

They also know very well how rich the southerners of Ajcca are.

It's all thanks to the Grey Orcs.

If you can have a few hundred gray orcs to help you with the work, and you will be rewarded with double the land, then ...... It's fun to think about.

So, a dozen more people raised their hands and said that they would stay in Lewis County.

Considering that after half a year, the Northern Army is very likely to return to the land, and those who are willing to stay in Lewis County will be subsidized by Hardy in the future.

Moreover, if these people stay, they can be regarded as his vassals, so they naturally have to be better to them.

After all, those who will work in the future will be vassals.

How can there be a lord who is tired and tired and does everything himself.

At this meeting, everyone laughed and laughed.

After all, who is not happy when the land is divided and the money is divided.

After the meeting was over, Mrs. Sissi approached Hardy and said, "I want to go back to Boris, can you escort me back?" ”

"Of course there is no problem." Hadi took her hand and gently kissed the smooth back of her hand: "My beloved Majesty the Queen. ”

Lady Sissi's eyes were full of tenderness.

She went back this time to ascend the throne and become the new queen.

The old king had long since died, and although the throne of the king was temporarily replaced by the eldest prince, the appointed time was enough, and the whole family had to go to live on a small island somewhere.

Winning this big battle and expanding the territory, Mrs. Sissi's prestige in the country is enough.
