Lord Harland

Chapter 76 Divide the spoils

After the battle ended, Li Cha immediately ordered to clean up the battlefield, count the number of casualties, and do his best to treat the wounded.

The materials plundered by the orcs have not yet been seized. In order to prevent the orc army from receiving the news, they slaughtered the prisoners.

Li Cha discussed with Baron Rice and decided that the speed of the army was the most important. The soldiers did not rest after the battle, and captured Malte Castle in a forced march, and wiped out the army of orcs managing the logistics.

During the orc invasion, Shamok's brigade achieved good results. They conquered the land of Baron Dirham, and successfully plundered the lands of Baron Rice, Baron Dak, and Baron Bazel, and robbed a lot of gold coins and population.

Although the situation was already very dangerous, Bastruan was still unwilling to give up the spoils, so he let a half-disabled wild boar squadron escort the captives and stationed them in Malte Castle, Barony of Dirham.

Li Cha led his troops into Baron Dirham's territory. He originally planned to conquer Kemarte Castle first and take over the orc stronghold.

But worried that there would be no supplies or the encumbrance of the captives, the main force of the orcs escaped from the encirclement with light clothes.

After annihilating the orc brigade, it was already evening.

Li Cha and Baron Rice joined forces and decided to take the elite to surprise Malte Castle overnight.

The defense force of Marte Castle is insufficient, and there are less than a hundred wild boars left to guard it.

Facing Richard, the elite troops drawn by Baron Rice were completely vulnerable and were wiped out before dawn.

At this point the casualties have been counted.

"The Second Squadron was killed 22 and injured 53, of which seven were seriously injured and disabled, more than half of the casualties.

Twelve of the Seventh Squadron of the Eighth Battalion of the Wild Lions were killed and 31 were injured.

Sophia Squadron was killed 36 and injured 48, the casualty ratio exceeded [-]%, and most of the backbone was lost.

Sixteen of the City Defense Squadron were killed and 38 were injured. "

Having commanded many battles, Li Cha's heart has become as hard as a stone.

Heavy casualties are already a number for him.

The situation in the northern part of the Grant Kingdom is severe, and even survival is a problem. People who come out of this place will not be sentimental, and their hearts are as hard as steel.

Although Li Cha occasionally remembered his past life when he dreamed back at midnight.I miss that peaceful and happy life very much.

But after waking up from the dream, he was still a cold northern noble officer.

In Malte Fort, a large amount of supplies have been piled up, and there are more than [-] people.

It's different from the last orc war.

In the last war, although Richard led troops to defeat the remnants of Wald's brigade, he seized a large amount of population and money.

But the commander-in-chief of the last war was Baron Harden, and Richard was just a squadron leader who had just taken office. The Harland family was not yet a hereditary nobleman, and their status was far from that of Baron Harden.

Even if a large number of gold coins were seized and 6000 people were captured, Li Cha would not dare to be greedy.

He angered Baron Harden and arranged for him a mission that must kill him. At that time, no one could complain to him.

In this war, the Harland family is already a hereditary baron, and they finally have human rights.

Li Cha has made great achievements in battle, and is also the commander of the noble coalition army.

He has a great say in the seizure of supplies and the rescue of the population.

"According to statistics, Malter Castle has a total population of 200, of which 600 are from the Duck Territory, 400 are from the Bazel Territory, and 500 are from the Rice Barony. The remaining [-] people , are all citizens of the Barony of Dirham.

In addition to the population, a large number of coins were also seized in the castle, adding up to [-] gold coins.

In addition, 3000 kilograms of iron ore and [-] kilograms of copper ore were piled up, and the grain in the warehouse was piled up into mountains, about more than [-] tons.

In addition, a lot of livestock were also seized, including thirty war horses, more than a hundred cattle, thousands of pigs and sheep, and several monster war horses.

Farm tools, hemp rope, cloth, and some herbs. "

Listening to Dida's report, Richard called Baron Rice, Baron Duck, and Baron Bazel to the meeting room, and handed them a list.

"This is a list of seized materials, you send people down to check some.

The captured population in your territory is counted first, and then brought back.

The remaining 500 people in the Dirham Territory will be divided into [-] for our Harland family and [-] for the Sophia family.

One thousand for Baron Rice, five hundred for Baron Duck, and five hundred for Baron Bazel. "

Li Cha glanced at the crowd, seeing that everyone was still calm and didn't object, suppressed the idea of ​​killing chickens and monkeys, and continued: "The territory of Harland and Stopa is sparsely populated, so they are divided more.

On the gold coin, Baron Rice is divided into [-], and Baron Duck and Barzel are divided into [-] each.Our Harland territory is divided into [-], the Stopa territory is divided into [-], the seventh squadron, the city defense squadron and other participating troops are divided into [-], and the remaining [-] need to be managed.

Beasts and war horses, our five territories are divided equally, but the Warcraft war horses will be divided into our Harland territory.

We need to take away [-] tons of food from Harland's territory, and the rest will be divided equally among the four of you, and the ore and miscellaneous people will take a little more, and we only need one-tenth of it.

The collection of books in Dirham's territory was first sent to Vic Fort, and everyone has a share, so everyone can copy it.

His family's breathing method, the Barbaric Bull Breathing Method, only has four levels, and can only be cultivated to the first-level professional. Now it is in my hands. If any family wants to copy it, you can come to me.

My opinion is this, which one of you is in favor and who is against it? "

Li Cha originally planned to see who opposed it, and then wrote it down in a small notebook, and sent him to die in the next battle.

Unexpectedly, Baron Rice and others were quite satisfied, and they all gave thumbs up, praising Richard as a fair commander.It seems that these guys are all smart people, as long as they can get by, they will definitely not do it.

In this battle, Li Cha was not only the commander of the noble coalition forces, but also made the most important contribution, so Harland's territory received the most lucrative spoils.

Through several battles, Harland's territory gained a population of about 9000, which was exchanged for more than [-] gold coins.

The dirham territory has been operated for hundreds of years, and the essence has been eaten by Richard.

The cruelty of the competition between noble territories can be seen from this.

But according to the values ​​of the Kingdom of Grant, no one would sympathize with Baron Dirham.Just like the last orc war, no one will sympathize with Baron Stopal.

The northern lord of the Grant Kingdom failed to manage his territory and his family was killed by orcs. The people in the kingdom were either plundered by nearby nobles or captured by orcs. The ending was even more tragic.

Every three years, after the orc invasion, there are defeated lords.

Some of these hereditary lords, like Sophia, can climb up again.

Some will lose their status as hereditary nobles and descend to the professional family class.

Of course, every time the orcs invaded, some people made military exploits and were promoted to hereditary nobles, completing the leap of class status.
