Lord Harland

Chapter 60
Every time a war ends, the commander always counts the casualties immediately.

This is not because the commander is cold-blooded, but because of the cruel battlefield needs.

As a qualified commander, you must always know how much power you have in your hands and can undertake multiple tasks.

After Li Cha came down from the top of the city, he immediately dispatched messengers to count the casualties in each squadron.

As the messengers continued to come in and out, the number of casualties gradually became clear.

"Six people from the First Squadron were killed in battle, eleven were slightly injured, and two of them will be left disabled."

"Nine people from the Second Squadron were killed, [-] were slightly or seriously injured, and none were disabled."

"Five of the new squadron were killed, and nine were slightly or seriously injured. Eight slaves who assisted in the battle were killed, 23 were injured, and only five were seriously injured."

"The auxiliary squadron suffered the most casualties, with 26 killed, [-] severely burned, and [-] lightly burned."

"The casualties were less than 140. If we only count the regular army, the casualties were just over 100. The combined casualties of the two main squadrons were 39. Counting the 22 casualties of the Orc Squadron, the casualties of the main squadron exceeded 60, and the casualties exceeded 20." %, it needs to be replenished."

Li Cha remained calm on the surface, but he was thinking secretly in his heart. He turned his head and said to the messenger: "Have you cleared the statistics of the battle results?"

"When the orcs retreated, they didn't take away the seriously wounded, and we cut off their heads. In this battle, 532 orcs were killed, including 28 third-tier snakes, four third-tier harpy, and one third-tier dog head People, a third-tier wild boar and a third-tier tauren.

A total of 35 third-tier orcs, eleven second-tier orcs, and sixteen first-tier orcs.

The orc's final attack force was broken by our trebuchet. "

Hearing the summed up results, although Li Cha estimated that it would be quite good, he did not expect that this battle almost disabled a full-stacked orc brigade.

Just by capturing the head of an orc professional, he got one great merit, four medium merits, and three minor merits.

This victory can be regarded as a victory, and it should be rewarded with a great achievement.

Li Cha asked the scouts to pull off the scales of the snake-body man, cut off the head of the snake-body man, and sent them to Heihe Fort to report their meritorious service.

At the same time, soldiers were sent to collect the corpses of the orcs, burned them, and then dug a large pit to bury the ashes.

After attacking Fort William once, his bones were almost broken by Richard.

Maruland lost the courage to continue the siege, and had already led the orc brigade to camp at the northern mountain pass of Harland Canyon.

After repelling the orcs, Powell led scouts to observe the changes in the Maruland camp every day.

Seeing the gradual increase of orc soldiers, three groups of orcs were gathered in a few days.

Powell didn't dare to neglect, and immediately brought the information to Richard.

After discovering the orcs' attempt to increase their troops, Richard immediately asked Platos and Heihe Fort for help.

The Platos defense line is still guarded by the Eighth Battalion of Richard's old army, and has not yet contacted the orcs.

After receiving the information brought by Li Cha, although he had some conflicts with Roland before, his relationship with Li Cha is also very ordinary.

Captain Sharp was still very face-saving, and sent the sixth and seventh squadrons to come to aid.

Now the sixth squadron is the leading main squadron of the eighth squadron, and the squadron leader is still Diarra, but three years have passed, and Diarra has successfully advanced to the third-tier professional.

Although the Seventh Squadron was a little bit short, it was fully staffed. Many soldiers participated in the last orc invasion war and had rich experience.

After the last orc invasion war, the Eighth Battalion performed well and received priority reinforcement from the Legion.

Now the combat effectiveness of the eighth brigade has been greatly improved. Although it is not as good as the three main brigades, its combat effectiveness is already in the middle of the legion.

Li Cha served as the deputy squadron leader in the sixth squadron, and was also the former squadron leader of the seventh squadron.

Li Cha is very familiar with the officers who came to Fort William for reinforcements.

After sending the heads of a large number of orc professionals to Fort Heihe, the mayor of Heihe County, Spencer Allen, couldn't believe it.

In terms of system, Harland is an aristocrat directly under the royal family.

But economically, Harland's territory is subject to Heihe County.

When the battle is urgent, the territory of Harland still has the obligation to send soldiers to obey the command of Heihe County.

Seeing so many orc heads with his own eyes, Spencer still couldn't accept it.

He has been in the northern border for many years, and he clearly knows the strength of the nobles.

Even the illustrious Baron Harden, with his family cavalry regiment, did not kill so many orc professionals at once.

The Harland family is just a new nobleman, why is it so powerful?
Could it be that the Harland family faked it?

In the past, there were such greedy hereditary aristocrats who bribed officials who checked their military exploits, befriended nobles in the palace of the royal capital, and obtained three baronial territories by using fake head techniques.

After this incident was discovered by the capital, the Kingdom of Grant showed unprecedented anger.

The three hereditary barons and 26 direct nobles lost their minds. Anyone who accepted bribes in this matter, or turned a blind eye because of their relationship, was beheaded by the noble council.

This includes a court earl, a court viscount, a provincial consul, and two border county magistrates.

Military feats are the foundation of the Grant Kingdom and the foundation of the rule of the great aristocracy.

Whoever dares to dig the foundation of the kingdom will be the enemy of all the great nobles.

But seeing the head of an orc professional with his own eyes is so fresh and lifelike?

It made Spencer a little skeptical about life.

In order to understand this problem, Mayor Spencer did not bring too many entourages, and came to Fort William with three squadrons of city defense troops.

I saw a large number of orcs' messy weapons and equipment, as well as piles of snake body scales.

Spencer no longer suspected that the Harland family's military exploits were falsified.

But with the strength of the Harland family, why can they defeat a large group of orcs?

Is it just because of the dangerous terrain?

Spencer thinks it's not enough.

Normally, a baron family cannot withstand the attack of a large group of orcs.

The orcs at the first level of the brigade include snake-bodied heavy infantry, harpy scouts, and orc officers scattered in each squadron. There are more than a hundred professionals.

Even if it is the main army, it is difficult to withstand the battle in an upright manner.

There must be some special power that gave the soldiers of the Harland family a great advantage in the defensive battle.

Is it a secret weapon, or did the Harland family get a powerful treasure?
For example, the legendary magic scroll can severely injure a large group of orcs. Together with the soldiers of the Harland family, it is enough to defeat the orcs and win a big victory.

Spencer decided to go to Harland's territory for himself to find out why.

The mayor came to the territory of the Harland family in person, and Li Cha immediately led the main officers out of the city to greet him.

And at the next banquet, the important figures in Fort William were introduced to Mayor Spencer.
