Chapter 506 The Trouble of Too Many Heroes

While waiting, Zhang Qiang returned to his territory, Tusculum Village, with the general guard.

Along the way, the number of people here has obviously decreased a lot, and the people who used to come and go in an endless stream have disappeared, and they don't know where to hide.

Occasionally, you can see a few leaders leaving in a hurry. Like frightened rabbits, they flee quickly when they hear the sound of hooves. When they see Zhang Qiang and his noble flags, they stop panting and stand by the roadside , respectfully waiting for Zhang Qiang and their army to pass.

Zhang Qiang felt bitter, these were the people of his own territory, although he was still ruling them with the old-fashioned ruling method of the Calradia continent.

But I have obviously reduced their taxes, only collecting taxes from passing merchants, or when they go to nearby villages and towns to sell things, and have become a good lord in their minds.

But such a good lord in their hearts made them suffer so much. Those fortresses and heavy troops that they had previously operated to patrol and defend were completely useless when facing the enemy's army, and they did not block the enemy's soldiers. Again they were ravaged and plundered.

When I entered Tusculum Village, it was obvious that there had been a war here, and many manors had been breached. Many of the homes of my own knights and knight attendants, as well as the homes of knight attendants from the bottom of the lords, were destroyed. Blow, turned into ruins.

However, it can be seen that there are still a lot of people. The militia team formed by them is still patrolling, but the range is smaller. When they hear the noise, they run back to the village, or hide in the manor or the woods, putting on a stubborn look. posture.

There are no heroes and knights here, only the village chief and some low-level soldier leaders of the militia guard.

The former weapon workshops, ore workshops, mills, and schools were all destroyed.

After asking the village chief, Zhang Qiang knew that François and the others had fled to Fort Malague, one of Francie and Delangton fled to Fort Malague and the other fled to Fort Malague.

Zhang Qiang heaved a sigh of relief, his elite did not suffer, but the people who lived there suffered. The formerly prosperous village has changed from very rich to poor, and all supplies, money, and food have been looted by the enemy.

The same is true for Tusculum Village, which is heavily guarded, and those settlements must have been destroyed.

According to the preliminary statistics of the village chief, at least more than 2 people were lost in the Tusculum territory this time, some were killed, some fled to other lords' areas, and some even fled to the village of Kujit Kingdom Inside, or the Kingdom of Sarande, some went further to the hinterland of the Kingdom of Vikia and Swadia, which was thousands of kilometers.

Zhang Qiang didn't go to Uludana Village again, and there must have been heavy losses there. In this way, his territory lost at least two-thirds of the population and two-thirds of its wealth, or even more. It is impossible to count. To recover, at least you have to wait until the war between yourself and the Kujit Kingdom is over. As long as the war lasts for a day, the Kujit lord will sneak in from the defensive gap from time to time and sneak attack the village.

After reassuring the citizens of Tusculum Village, Zhang Qiang returned to the camp with the general guard, and met Fatis' troops on the way. He told Zhang Qiang that Uludana Village is close to Lunvadia Fort. The people of the village have the habit of running to Fort Lunvadia for shelter when war breaks out, so the loss is not as great as that of Tusculum Village, only one-third of the population is lost, but the village is completely destroyed.

Zhao Siyang led his troops into the Fort Lunvadia.

The siege of Fort Lunvadia has been lifted. The enemy has fled to Fort Dreimag and joined the siege troops there. The war for more than a week has caused heavy losses to the enemy. At present, the combined forces of the two groups are less than 4000 The rest, Knight Zhao Siyang and Knight Sam, under the leadership of Mamoen Boye, led more than [-] soldiers to support the Earl of Varishen in the fight against the enemy in Fort Dremag.

At present, the administration of Fort Lunvadia is in charge of Ramosson and John Johnson, and the city guard is in charge of Francie. There are still two thousand city guards, enough to guard Fort Lunvadia.

Only then did Zhang Qiang breathe a sigh of relief. With Varixien in charge, it is considered okay if the war can be fought like this. After all, the enemy is powerful. After receiving reinforcements, Derry Mag Fort was guarded by more than 2000 people. If Emboye goes to reinforce him, he will attack from both sides. With Varixien's combative character, he will definitely hit the enemy hard.

Zhang Qiang took Fatis back to the army camp.

This time Fatis brought about 300 troops. With the commanding power of his heroic knights, he could not bring so many troops. Fortunately, Fort Lunvadia is only more than 200 kilometers away from here, because it is in a time of war. , while marching fast, we must guard against the enemy, so we walked for two days, otherwise, it could have been faster. More than [-] soldiers escaped along the way, all of them were low-level soldiers, and some high-level soldiers who were not determined. Soldiers, the loss is not great.

At this time, they were led by themselves, and their morale recovered instantly. When they saw Zhang Qiang, it was like seeing their relatives, and they had a backbone.

With these more than 400 soldiers, Zhang Qiang returned to the camp. At this time, the total strength of the camp had reached more than 600.

But what was bothering was that Fatis and Caitlin had a quarrel just as they entered the camp.

Fatis filed a complaint first, "Master, take care of that old lady Caitlin, she is a woman who is with the army, what qualifications does she have to point out to me, come all the way, this short distance of more than ten kilometers , and he used one of the gestures her peasants used to ward off demons—five fingers together, moving back and forth, and saying something I couldn't understand."

Zhang Qiang looked up at him.

Fatis seemed to be encouraged, and his emotions were even higher, "I know that I have committed an abominable crime. I accidentally killed my brother, the former captain of Suno's cavalry. They thought it was me doing it on purpose for the sake of superiority. I did, but I swear to God, I just accidentally killed my brother, I have repented, I have repented to the godfather, and used resignation to wander in Calradia to atone for my crime.

But this does not mean that a whole day and a whole day of treacherous villains, businessmen, or even a group of mercenaries who have nowhere to vent their messes, can point and point at me at will, you know what I want Your career has been running around, not to mention how much credit you have made, but there is always hard work. I hope you can teach that woman a lesson. "

Zhang Qiang took a deep breath and saw Caitlin secretly looking at him from a distance.

Turning back to Fatis, he said: "Your Excellency, I have heard your opinion. Although Caitlin did something wrong, you didn't go to her directly, but came to me. I am very happy. This shows that you still have me in your heart. You haven't been with me for a long time, but I know you are loyal to me, otherwise you wouldn't bring your troops and go out of the city to contain the enemy's army for me in such a crisis situation. Lana's battle can win the final victory , you have a share of the credit, I don't deny that."

Fatis wanted to speak excitedly, but Zhang Qiang waved his hand to stop him, "But, as a knight, you can't always be immersed in the past, you have to watch it first, you know? Maybe Caitlin is not as good as you in all aspects, but she is the team As a member of it, I hope you can consider the overall situation, consider the problem from my point of view, maintain the harmony and integrity of this team, don't be as knowledgeable as her, you can try to get along with her for a while, if you still can't get along with her Get along well, I will find a way, now, please go back to your team. Perform your duties, I will communicate with Caitlin first."

Seeing that Fatis still wanted to speak, Zhang Qiang nodded slightly to him. Fatis pursed his lips and his eyes wandered from side to side. After a while, he said to Zhang Qiang: "Okay, Lord Earl, I think I can try to Stay with her for a while and see if the situation improves."

Zhang Qiang nodded in satisfaction, and watched him turn around and join the cavalry with a smile.

He is an excellent cavalry commander, Zhang Qiang does not want to lose him.

And Caitlin is a junior doctor, a woman who can manage the logistics well and has good combat effectiveness. Zhang Qiang also does not want to lose such a female hero. Caitlin has already run away once, and Zhang Qiang does not want her to run away again. If you can't keep a hero, you will lose his reputation, and you will get a bad reputation for not being able to use the hero well, and no one will come to him in the future.

As his career is booming, he needs talents in all aspects. If he takes care of so many sites and so many things, he will not be exhausted. He is no longer a small village head who only owns a small village.

He has now reached the level of mayor of a prefecture-level city.

In the military, he has become a high position equivalent to an army commander.

Both military talents and administrative talents are needed. Although it is ancient times, these configurations are indispensable.

How to balance these talents so that they can work happily under their own command and be satisfied with their leaders has become a matter of their own consideration.

At this time, Caitlin ran over, and she secretly glanced towards Fatis, seeing Fatis returning to the camp with the cavalry team, she said to Zhang Qiang: "Sorry, Lord Earl, I can't keep silent Well, that man, Fatis, he killed his own brother, we can't let such a man in our ranks, he will make all of us feel insecure, and even create a feeling that we are sinners too. If If you are willing, I strongly suggest that I will expel him. I believe that with my strength, it will be very gratifying to defeat a sinner who killed his brother. These days, the camp of the military merchants is lifeless. If you can prove your wisdom through this incident, I think they will be very happy and they will support you more."

Zhang Qiang looked at Caitlin, and Caitlin saw Zhang Qiang staring at herself with a strange look, and quickly said: "Master Earl, I saw him talking in front of you just now, don't guess, I already know that he is talking bad about me , This kind of person who only complains behind his back, I should have stabbed him to death with a knife while he was fast asleep."

Zhang Qiang looked at the sky, what a vicious words.

Annoyed rubbing his forehead.
