Lord Harland

Chapter 57
In today's battle, Li Cha's judgment was accurate, he used the orc squadron to be paralyzed, seized the opportunity, wiped out a squadron of orcs with superior forces, and chopped off more than 100 orc heads.

More than 40 orc captives were also captured, and there were only about a dozen orcs who fled the battlefield.

After the war, Li Cha immediately counted the casualties and used healing techniques for the wounded soldiers.

Harland's territory is still under development, and there are no priests from the Church of Dawn to settle in for the time being.

Although the Church of Dawn has a large number of priests, it is far from enough to be scattered in dozens of countries.

If you want priests to enter the territory, you need to establish a good relationship with the church.

The Harland family has no church relationship, and the pastor doesn't want to come to the barren territory to suffer.

Besides, Li Cha has carried out some reforms in the territory, and he doesn't want outsiders to enter.

There are two magicians, Richard and Wendy, in the territory, enough to use healing techniques for the citizens and soldiers.

"Three of the first squadron were killed, six were injured, and two of them were seriously injured."

"Four of the second squadron were killed, two were seriously injured, and seven were slightly injured."

After the battle, Martin and Heyman successively reported the number of casualties to Richard.

There were more than 20 casualties, and a complete squadron of orcs was wiped out. Richard is very satisfied with this exchange ratio.

Moreover, the few seriously injured did not have broken arms or legs, and they could recover after a few months of recuperation.

After going through the flames of war, the combat experience of wounded soldiers will increase, and their combat effectiveness will also increase.

After this battle, Richard's impression of Martin changed slightly.

If he continued to play tricks today and didn't take the initiative to intercept the orc squadron leader, causing Wendy to have an accident, Richard might enforce battlefield discipline after the battle and cut off his head.

Fortunately, Martin took the responsibility, and Richard didn't need to make an example of others.

Li Cha didn't intend to let Wendy participate in today's battle, it was Wendy's initiative to ask to participate in the battle.

As a northern nobleman, he will inevitably experience various battles throughout his life.

Seeing Wendy take the initiative to ask for a fight, Li Cha agreed to her request.

Before the battle, Richard arranged for Jennings to protect Wendy, let her cast spells in the safest place, and personally experience the atmosphere of the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, after the battle, Wendy went to the front row for the convenience of casting spells and became the primary target of the orc squadron leader.

If Martin hadn't restrained the orc squadron leader and relied on Jennings, he would definitely not be Haru's Finnish opponent.

In today's battle, Li Cha killed two orc professionals and gained 3000 experience points.

It has been four months since he killed the Rhinoceros. In the past four months, Li Cha has improved in various skills, and he has also learned a new spell called Freezing Ray.

Recently, Li Cha is still learning greasy technique.

Although he became a second-level magician, he hasn't learned any second-level spells yet.

Counting the magical knowledge exchanged with Sophia, the Harland family has treasured six second-level spells.

However, the magic pattern of the second-level spells is more complicated, and it takes a long time to learn a second-level spell, and the cost performance is not as good as learning a few more practical first-level spells.

In this battle, eight orc professionals were killed, and a squadron of orcs was wiped out.

Li Cha stripped off the orc materials that could be used, sent the head to the City Hall of Heihebao, and asked for credit from his superiors.

When he served in the Wild Lion Legion, he just sent the orc's head to the legion headquarters.

Now that he has left the Wild Lion Legion and has become a noble private army, the Harland family's fief is under the jurisdiction of Heihe County.In case of war, the baron's private army will also be under the command of the Heihe county magistrate.

The mayor of Heihe County also needs to send the orc's head to Wrightburg, the capital of Gerda province, and after being verified by the governor of the province, it will be sent to the noble council for signature and stamp before the military exploits will be released.

Different from the military, the structure of the army is relatively simple, and everything is for victory. The certification of military exploits is very fast, and fairness can basically be guaranteed.

Locally, it is a little looser, and it is separated from the county level, so it often needs to be managed.Only when the aristocratic lords have a good relationship can the military exploits be recognized and distributed smoothly.

However, northern Xinjiang has experienced wars all year round, and the noble council attaches great importance to the affairs here.

Once you offend the nobles, file a complaint at the noble meeting and let the upper echelons of the Grant Kingdom hear.Provincial consuls will also be in trouble, and they can only deal with the people below to appease the anger of the nobles.

Therefore, the officials who inspected the heads and issued military exploits would not go too far.

In short, how to measure?

How do nobles and bureaucrats compete?It is a relatively deep knowledge, and no one can easily cross the line.

If you cross the unspoken rules of each other's default, you will be targeted by the vast majority of people, and there will be no good results.

Li Cha's personality is relatively reserved, and he is not good at managing contacts and wooing relationships.

This time I went to Black River Fort to ask for credit, and I still relied on William to clear up the relationship.

After several days of spending more than 50 gold coins and giving gifts to five or six heavyweight bureaucrats, the Heihe County City Hall finally sent a letter of approval.

This battle was of little significance, but it got off to a good start and wiped out a squadron of orcs.The noble council also wanted to win a good fortune, and generously gave Li Cha a medium merit.

The heads of eight orc professionals, one of the third level, two of the second level, and five of the first level, were exchanged for a total of one medium skill and two minor skills.

Among them, Li Cha killed a third-level werewolf and a second-level kobold, and gained five minor merits.

Heyman killed a second-tier wild boar and made two small meritorious deeds.

Wendy killed a first-order tauren and a first-order werewolf, and made two small meritorious deeds.

Bradrick and Vincent each killed a first-order kobold and made a small contribution.

The last first-order wild boar died at the hands of senior warrior student Pierce.

Hyman is no longer young, and his two sons are of mediocre talent, and they have just entered the Grant Kingdom Knight Academy to study.Now there is no plan to accumulate meritorious service to advance to the hereditary nobility. Instead, he plans to exchange meritorious service for some money to buy some land for the children.

Haiman exchanged two minor merits for ten acres of paddy fields and twenty acres of dry fields.

Bradrick, Vincent, Pierce are all slave soldiers.

Bradrick is a contract slave with a relatively high status, and Richard rewarded him with a bottle of Tenghui potion.

Vincent and Pierce are not free yet. They can achieve what they are today because the Harland family spent resources on training them.

Now that Vincent has become a professional, his status has advanced to that of a contract slave. He needs to serve the Harland family for ten years before he can be free.

Pierce was still an ordinary slave soldier, not even paid.

In order to boost morale, Li Cha gave the soldiers a military pay after the war, and each soldier was given a military pay of six silver coins.

Pierce killed the orc professional, and Richard rewarded him with ten gold coins.

As a serf-born soldier, Pierce was already satisfied after receiving ten gold coins.

This battle won two medium merits and two minor merits, all of which belonged to the Harland family.
