Standing in the harbor and smelling the fishy sea breeze, Jem frowned slightly.

He didn't like the smell very much, and it made him feel uncomfortable.

Although a considerable part of the Duchy of Marton is located on the coast, he has not been very interested in seafood since he was a child, and every time he comes to the port to smell it, he will be more or less uncomfortable.

However, he didn't show it, after all, as a crown prince, the image is still needed, and showing disgust for his own turf is really demoralizing.

An officer, about thirty years of age, was standing beside him and giving him a general briefing:

"The captured enemy troops, totalling 76,445 men, have all been transported to the port. Among them, only 23 were not injured, 35,525 were slightly injured, and 40,897 were seriously injured, and of the more than 40,000 serious injuries, 3,221 were in a critical state and could choke at any time. As for the delivery, we transferred all kinds of ships in the vicinity, and it was about eight days to complete the delivery. ”

After hearing this, Jem was still quite satisfied with this data, so he nodded and said: "It's okay, try to save those who can be saved, forget about those who can't be saved, just make sure that there are more than 70,000 living people on Mobis Island, and the rest of the things have nothing to do with you." ”

Seeing that his immediate boss did not express the problem, the other party also sighed in his heart.

However, after hesitating for a while, he still persuaded: "Your Highness, in fact, I don't think it is necessary to be so troublesome to place this group of captives, and some simpler methods can still achieve the effect, and it is really a waste of manpower and material resources to transport them on a desert island." ”

Not only did he think so, but many of his colleagues were also quite puzzled when they heard that Jem was going to transport tens of thousands of captives to the overseas desert island of Mobis and let them play on the desert island to survive, and they couldn't understand what this could mean.

Even if you keep them locked up and wait for the Duchy of Yar to pay for ransom, it's better than this!

Jem just shook his head calmly at his persuasion and didn't say anything more.

These times, it's not that no one else has come to persuade him, and he is a little tired of listening.

He didn't want to use this method to deal with the captives if he could, but he didn't have a choice.

The reason for this is completely impossible to explain to others, so he is also very helpless.

Seeing that Jem Watts didn't want to pay attention to himself, the general could only sigh and leave silently.

Look at the scene in front of you.

Unlike the generals, it is not clear why Jem Watts did this.

Baron Duke understood that those who landed on Mobis Island were not going to survive on a desert island or be imprisoned from a distance, but to be sacrificed, and it was basically impossible for them to get out alive, so after thinking about it, he proposed softly:

"Your Highness, not long ago, when the Principality of Yar sent someone to sign the compensation regulations, he put forward an idea, that is, he hoped to redeem their soldiers, I think that although it is impossible to let them redeem all of them, the more important nobles can let them pay some blood to get back, and they can also avoid offending the noble forces of the Principality of Yar to death. ”

For Duke's proposal, Jem waved his hand and directly vetoed it:

"No, there is no such thing as a crime that cannot be sinned to death.

Since the war had already started, they thought that they were enemies, and even if they had signed the terms of reparations now, their essential position would not change much.

Those captured nobles, although it is not the fatality of the Principality of Yar, but once they die, the aristocratic power of the entire Principality of Yar will have to go back for about ten years, although it will make them particularly hateful of us, but it will definitely cause them to have a conflict with the royal family of Yar, which is hostile to them, which is of great significance to our country, which is hostile to them. ”

In Jem's mind, the Duchy of Yar would not be able to threaten the Duchy of Marton for at least twenty or thirty years after this battle, although it was a little unlikely that he would want to destroy it in one fell swoop in the face of other principalities, but it was even more impossible to let him return to the mountain.

In this era when many principalities have gone through a long time and have a tacit understanding.

Crippling a duchy is nothing, but there are many obstacles to destroying it, so weakening it as much as possible is the biggest limit.

And those great nobles are the way he uses to block the Duchy of Yar......

As for how the process needs to work, you have to think about it.

At the very least, you can't directly bear the reputation of sacrifice to demons, and you have to think of an excuse for the death of those people......

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

When he looked up, he saw that it was Harry, the commander of the army of the Duchy of Yar, shouting his name.

At this moment, Harry no longer has the same vigor as before, and is covered in blood, handcuffed and handcuffed, trapped in a separate prison car.

It's worthy of the high-end treatment of the commander's status, and there is a small single room!

Although it was no different from parading in the streets, he could only accept everyone's fingers there, which made him feel sincerely angry.

Noticing Jem's gaze, he resisted the thought of strangling the crowd and shouted, "Jem Wads, you remember me, I will one day pay you back the shame you brought me!"

Obviously, he still feels resentful of his inexplicable loss in a good situation.

“......”

Friend, you're going to die soon, and I think it's a shame that you can't pay it back to me.

After standing there and hesitating for two seconds, Jem Watts had the only remaining bit of conscience that made him stop taunting the other party, but gave him a meaningful look.

Looking at Harry, who was pushed onto the ship in the midst of the shouting, Jem Watts saw his status as a nobleman, and after a second of silence for him, he turned to Baron Duke and said, "You stay here to deal with the rest of the affairs, and by the way, I will tell the people below that the person who just yelled will be the first to be sent to Mobis Island." ”

'Although a generous man like me usually doesn't care much, as a nobleman and commander, I think he should lead by example!'

Thinking about it like this, Jem felt a lot more comfortable in his heart, after all, it is impossible to be stingy, how can he not be measured as the crown prince??

So he mounted his war horse and prepared to return to the royal capital to participate in the celebration.

There is still someone to preside over the situation, and as the crown prince, it is always good to show his face at this time.

--------

The next day, noon.

Jem Watts clutched his head and got out of bed with a headache.

Yesterday at the celebration, in the face of the siege and interception of hundreds of people, even if he had the strength of a great knight, he almost vomited on the spot.

In the end, I couldn't drink it anymore, and I was afraid of him!

only to escape by urine.

Now I just woke up, and I only feel that my mouth is very bitter, and there is a smell of herbs.

He knew it was a sobering pill that the maid had poured on him, or he would have had to get out of bed in the afternoon.

To be honest, although his head hurts a little, he is in a good mood.

Because taking care of the Principality of Yar can be regarded as clearing a major problem and completely stabilizing the situation in the Principality of Marton, so he drank so much alcohol yesterday, you must know that he usually almost doesn't drink.

Putting on his clothes, he habitually took out the knight's sword in the room and swung it twice, feeling his sluggish state and feel when he danced the sword, and he understood that until now, alcohol still had some residual effects, affecting his mind and body.

Just as he wanted to do some physical training and recover, a sound of footsteps approaching the room quickly entered his ears.

Let his brows wrinkle subconsciously, because he said yesterday that if he was okay today, don't bother him, he wants to rest for a day.

And someone suddenly came to him, which undoubtedly means that there is trouble again.

It really hurt him......

But he also knows what to expect.

Without waiting for the other party to knock on the door, when the other party just stopped in front of the door, he directly took the initiative to ask, "What's the matter?"

The people outside the door were stunned for a moment, thinking that they didn't expect Jem to wake up so quickly.

Yesterday he drank so much wine that ordinary people could only drink two or three small glasses of high wine, and he drank a whole barrel as high as an adult's knee on the ground.

If it weren't for the strength and physical fitness far beyond ordinary people, he would have to lie down and let the doctor rescue him.

In the face of Jem's inquiry, a female voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, a bishop of the church came to the door with someone, saying that there is something very important that needs to be discussed with you, and he also took out the urgent documents of the church. ”

"Church?urgency?"

Jem was a little puzzled, he didn't understand what a bishop could do when he came to him, could it be that he wanted to build a large church in the royal capital?

A few years ago, a bishop of the church approached his father and wanted to build a church in the center of the royal capital.

Originally, it was nothing, after all, you can build it if you want to, although our royal family doesn't like churches, but for this kind of thing, most of them just turn a blind eye and don't interfere much.

But the problem lies elsewhere.

That is, the other party hopes that the money for repairing the church will be borne by the royal family, which makes the royal family feel incredible, and Jem's father said on the spot, if this is hundreds of years ago, my church is at its peak, I will endure it, after all, you are the boss, and now you don't look in the mirror, really slaughter us as pigs?

So it was a displeasure and broke up.

Thinking of this, Jem Watts also had a faint disgust, thinking that if he came to talk about the church again, he would send them away......

Since hundreds of years ago, the power of the mysterious side has begun to shrink dramatically.

After several policy reforms and the announcement of the Crown Act, the royal family did not have a good deal with the church.

The Church wants to restore its former glory and make the divine right above the king's power and rule over all!

And those of them who turned over and made decisions don't want to go back to the past!

This is undoubtedly an irreconcilable contradiction!

It's just that both sides still have reason and know that there are other races trying to resurrect, otherwise humanity itself will be able to fight for decades first.

Like the current rule of the Duchy of Yar and the Duchy of Marton, only the bones are allowed to be broken and the dead hand is not allowed, which is the tacit understanding they have maintained for a long time.

Once the matter gets to the point where it gets unresolved, there will be other forces that will intervene to stop it.

It is not only to prevent human beings from violent internal friction, but also to prevent anyone from being dominant.

'But with urgent documents in hand, it should be more than just building a church, and it is difficult to ......

Thinking of this, Jem Watts's face began to change for a while......
