After the Lacazian army withdrew to the territory, Wren returned to the city of Calthas to report to Mordrak.

Although Wren won a lot in this war and made great achievements, during this period, many people impeached Wren behind his back many times, including the old nobles of Liguria and of course the old subordinates of the Lacazia army.

However, in Modrec's opinion, this is all purely normal, and there is no fuss.

When the generals are outside in the bloody battlefield and make meritorious achievements, it is natural that many people will look at them red-eyed, say a few grumbling words behind their backs, and enter a few slanderous words, which is also a reasonable thing, but Mordrake does not intend to hide these things.

Because although trusting a general is the mind and courage that a leader should have, if you trust too much, there will inevitably be certain risks.

Most of the rebels who made big mistakes in history were the most trusted and favored people by the king, and it was precisely because of the trust of the leader that he would gain greater power, and when his power swelled, he would naturally have ambitions.

Therefore, while Modrake trusts Wren, he also wants Wren to know that this trust is hard-won and needs him to know the preciousness of Modrek's trust in him.

Mordrake handed him all the letters impeaching Wren, many of which had not even been opened.

After Wren saw these letters impeaching himself, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, he didn't expect that he had only been fighting for a year, and there were so many blatant opponents in the city of Karlsas, if it wasn't for Modrek to suppress them, I am afraid that he would never have had the opportunity to fight in front of him.

"Your Highness, thank you for your trust, Wren will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations." Wren got down on one knee and thanked Modrac.

"Rennes, you are the person I value the most, you are a rare general, I hope you can continue to fight for the glory of Lakasiva, I will be your most powerful backer." Mordrak got up and helped Wren to his feet.

"Your Highness, rest assured, Wren will definitely become His Highness's sharpest sword and cut through all obstacles for His Highness." Wren said with blazing eyes.

"Yes." Modrek nodded in relief, his eyes full of trust.

"How's Rocky? How's it performing? Modrek asked Wren.

It turned out that at the time of this expedition, Rocky also joined the army, he was full of hatred for the king of Murozong, and when he thought of the tattoo on his face, he trembled with anger, and he always wanted to find an opportunity, he must capture alive the king of Murozong and those traitors who had humiliated him, and he must tattoo the words on their faces with his own hands to avenge the shame.

"He was a brave warrior, he fought bravely, he killed seven enemies, but he was also slightly wounded." Wren reported to Modrec.

"He killed seven enemies? Amazing boy. Mordrake said with some surprise and couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Highness, this is the situation of the meritorious service of all the soldiers in this war, please take a look." Wren presented a report to Modrec.

Mordrake took the report, took a cursory look, and then returned the thick report to Wren, "Don't read it, just hand over the report to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and all the people who are famous in the table will be rewarded." ”

"Your Highness—" Wren was a little flattered and a little apprehensive when he heard Mordrak say this, for there were a thousand names on the report, and the credit of each one was credited to it, and some of them seemed to be somewhat inconsistent, which was inevitable.

In war, counting the results of a war is often a very complicated matter, and due to the complexity of the war situation, it is often prone to some unavoidable errors.

For example, in the course of a battle, an enemy general was first shot in the body by an archer, then stabbed in the thigh by a spearman, and finally cut off his head by a cavalryman, and finally hung up.

You say this feats should be counted on the archers? Or on the spearmen? Or on the cavalry?

At this time, in order not to get into trouble, the officials in charge of statistics sometimes simply recorded the results of three battles, and reported them once in the reports of the archers, spearmen, and cavalry, which invisibly created the illusion that three men killed three enemy commanders, when in fact, the three men actually killed the same person.

This kind of thing is often seen in statistics, which is why after a battle, there is a serious discrepancy in the battle damage records of both sides.

When the other party counts, it will only count how many people he has killed in battle, or how many people he has been wounded, and if a general dies in battle, it will only be counted once, and no one can die twice, and in the other party's statistics, it is possible that he died twice, or three or four times, which is possible.

It is precisely because of the existence of this error that every time a military merit is reported, there is a situation of misreporting and overreporting.

In addition to the factors of war, there are also human reasons in this situation, that is, the people who are responsible for counting the results of the battle are some low-level officers, and in order to cause less trouble, they are naturally unwilling to offend other combat units.

Therefore, in the case that it is impossible to determine whether there is this credit or not, if the other party is very forceful, this is their credit, and they have no choice but to admit it and report it to others.

Anyway, lying about military exploits is also dealing with the parties, and it has nothing to do with them, who are responsible for statistics, at most it is just a joint and several liability.

In the previous war in Liguria, there were many cases of lying about military exploits, and even one army, in order to repay more merits, even killed good people and risked merit, killed a large number of civilians, cut off their heads, and then turned in the heads of 800 civilians at one time as the heads of the enemy army that were beheaded.

It's a pity that those civilians have been wronged by the knife, and their heads have to be used by others as a stepping stone for promotion.

Later, in order to restrain this unhealthy trend, Mordrake ordered the establishment of a military merit review system, all military merits must be carefully verified, and finally have to be handed over to him for approval, if the approval is not passed, or there is a serious violation of military discipline, not only will there be no military merit, and even the main general may be beheaded.

It was under Mordrake's strict control that military discipline was somewhat restrained, and Wren handed over the battle merit report to Mordrake because of institutional regulations.

"Wren, you are my father's most powerful subordinate, I believe in your character, don't doubt it, report directly to the Chancellor of the Exchequer." Modrek smiled and patted Wren on the shoulder, completely dispelling the worries in his heart.
