Chapter 158. A huge amount of money

Peasant women cook lunch.

The soldiers who participated in the war also took advantage of this time to make a preliminary cleanup of the battlefield.

The main thing is to properly place the bodies of the dead.

However, as the defender of the city, the casualties of Kant's troops were obviously better than those of the gnolls on the besieging side.

Just outside the eastern city wall, the blood that flowed had already stained the sand red, and under the sand dunes not far away, the corpses covered with arrows or smashed brains were already neatly laid out.

More than half of the 3,000 elite gnolls from the coast of Mannheim have been killed, which is extremely tragic.

The gnolls who survived were all wounded.

But no one had mercy on them.

As invaders, these gnolls must have the consciousness to endure defeat after defeat.

There was no food or water, but the desert robbers brought flax ropes, raised their eyebrows, and shook their faces with meat, and tied all the hands of the gnolls from their backs.

Not far away, Fatis was still leading the cavalry, intimidating the captives to avoid accidents.

But there was no resistance.

These gnolls were actually bound up like obedient.

The Gnoll Expeditionary Force, which had not eaten for many days to replenish their strength and was extremely dehydrated, had no ability to resist.

When the retrospective madness recedes.

Their state is getting weaker and weaker.

In this way, the desert robbers tied their hands one by one, and drove these gnolls captives to the south of the city gate to stand up, because it was there that Jocelyn, the leader of the caravan from Zhivadin, was looking at these lost gnolls captives with a smile on his face, and occasionally talked to Manid beside him, and the two laughed more eagerly.

With the thousands of gnolls taken captive, the caravan leader Jocelyn could imagine how hospitable he would be when he returned to Zhivadine with the nobles and iron ore owners.

The Kingdom of Vekia is located in a snowy field, which produces less food and therefore has a smaller population.

However, there are huge reserves of iron ore in the snowfield, and as long as a little mining can be excavated into baskets of high-quality iron ore.

This is a bit embarrassing for the Kingdom of Vekia.

The population of its own kingdom is small, and in the Cold Weapon Age of the Middle Ages, mining ore was a dangerous job, and ordinary Wikibian civilians would not work at all, except to buy captives to become mining slaves, there was no better option.

And the main economic pillar of the Kingdom of Vekia is precisely these high-quality iron ores.

In order to be able to mine large quantities of ore and metallize into iron ingots, almost every year, the Kingdom of Vekia buys a large number of slaves.

So to speak.

Part of the slave trade on the continent of Calradia was stirred up by the Kingdom of Vecchia.

Now the Kingdom of Vekia has a new source of slaves.

It is the Kant lord located in the land of miracles, as long as there are enough dinars, those gnolls who are better used than human miners, as long as they are trained, rested for a period of time, and trained well, they are completely the best miners, strong and strong, know how to command, and can mine and dig day and night with a full stomach, which is very popular with mine owners.

Of course, Kant also welcomed this.

These miners of the Kingdom of Vekia are his big customers, otherwise the endless stream of dinars would not have appeared in his pocket so easily and become a boost to the upgrade of "Drehem".

A good thing for all.

Even inside and outside the city walls, everyone was still busy.

The feeling of hatred and hatred disappears.

But there was no excitement of the winners, but a touch of sadness.

The faces of the past, which had been familiar in the past, turned pale in this battle, lying on the sand, covered with white linen, became memories that only existed in the minds of everyone.

They are the warriors who defend the fortress, and they are also the heroes who hold the line to the end.

Tough melee combat ability against the Gnolls.

These dead warriors actually have some mutilated corpses.

The peasant women who were in charge of tidying up their appearance, when they collected the corpses of these dead, their eyes were red, even if they had seen too many civilians who were alive and dead, such a tragic battle, such a terrifying wound, in the Karadia continent, except for the large-scale decisive battle between kingdoms and kingdoms, it was rare to see such a tragic situation.

The large quantities of linen purchased in the Zhivading caravans were based on this reason.

Although they have already died.

But Kant, as a lord, will never forget their contributions.

Although they have died in battle, they can wipe the blood off their faces with a towel, use a white linen cloth as a shroud, and give them respect and glory after death, which can be regarded as making amends after the fact.

It is also an incentive for the soldiers who survived.

Lord Kant does not forget anyone.

………………

The sun rises in the middle of the sky.

The temperature of the Narun Desert suddenly rises, creating a rolling heat wave that spreads throughout the desert.

It's noon.

The sentry oasis, the battlefield has been basically cleaned.

The corpses were all separated and stacked in a row, which was conducive to post-war inventory.

The blood-stained ground inside and outside the attic of the city wall and the city gate, which was the main battlefield, was also splashed and washed with water by the careful militiamen, so that the original yellow-orange-orange sand grains returned to color, and the rich smell of blood became lighter.

It's basically done.

The peasant women also came over and called out to the resting soldiers to open their meals.

In the kitchen next to the Consulate, barrels of lunch have been prepared, steaming hot and smelling.

Because it was made in a hurry, it was no different from the previous food.

But many of the soldiers who ate in batches also had anticipation on their faces, because they saw that in the kitchen, the batch of desert antelopes hunted at the end of the month yesterday had been dragged out and hung on the wall, and under the kitchen knives in the hands of the peasant women, they were quickly cutting and peeling the skins, and disemboweling them, and taking out the internal organs, as if they were preparing for the celebration banquet in the evening.

There were also barrels of ale, which were rolled out from the Živadin caravan in the grocery store, and it was evident that these delicious ales that would intoxicate the nerves were absolutely indispensable at tonight's celebration banquet.

This made the soldiers who survived and won the battle after a tragic battle have a little more joy on their faces.

Lunch is eaten in batches in turns.

In the consul hall, Kant sat in his place.

On either side of the long table were Fatis and Manid, who had already taken care of things, and the caravan leader Jocelyn.

It's lunchtime.

At the same time, it was also the time when the two reported the results of the battle to Kant.

Because it is not a secret matter, the leader of the caraver, Jocelyn, did not shy away from leaving, not to mention that for Kant, this merchant from the system Calradia continent can be regarded as half of his own people, at least he will not secretly collude with the natives of this world, let alone betray Kant, and resell vital materials.

The four of them ate the food first, after all, because of the battle, they had not eaten breakfast.

Wait until you're half full.

"Well, I've almost eaten it." Kant wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Who will tell us what the results are?" Looking at Fatis and Manid, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile: "I am still looking forward to the results of this battle." ”

"I'll do it first." Manid nodded slightly, stood up and saluted respectfully.

Organized in his voice, he said with smugness: "Lord Kant, this battle seems to me to be an epic victory, we have captured 1,432 gnolls, and according to the calculation of 50 dinars each, we have gained a total of 71,600 dinars, to tell you the truth, it seems to me that this is also a huge sum of money that anyone should be tempted to." ”

"Of course." Kant nodded, a bright smile on the corner of his mouth.

When the gnolls were captured and escorted into the wagons of the caravan, he already knew the exact amount of the money, and the huge amount of 71,600 dinars had been mixed with the balance of the deposit and turned into an even more terrifying number.

[Deposit: 149,130 dinars]

With less than 1,000 dinars, Kant's deposit will break 150,000.

On the continent of Calradia.

15 of the most expensive and popular velvet dye factories can be opened in any town.

If this does not prove the value of this huge sum, then it is converted into the cavalry pillars of the Svadia Kingdom, those level 4 armored heavy cavalry, Svadia heavy cavalry, and the maintenance cost of 5,000 people for a week.

And just this week.

These are purely armoured heavy cavalry troops, not to mention the continent of Calradia.

Even if it's on Earth.

On the battlefield of any era except modern times, in ancient and modern field battles, these 5,000 Swadia heavy cavalry are enough to become the main force to completely defeat the enemy's corps, like a surging torrent, to break the enemy's formation.

Because these 5,000 frontal charges can be called invincible heavy cavalry.

Even if the infantry with a number of 100,000 people can't hold it, they will be directly defeated by this turbulent torrent until the formation collapses.

The smile on Kant's lips grew brighter and brighter.

Just thinking about it in his head was a wonderful moment for him.

For this reason, he looked at the leader of the caravan, Qiao Celin, and said with a smile on his face: "I will hold a celebration banquet tonight, I hope you have brought enough ale this time, and this time I will let the soldiers drink it." ”

"Totally sufficient." Jocelyn nodded affirmatively.

"Good." Kant smiled brightly.

Nothing soothes the hearts of post-war soldiers more than alcohol.

If it is customary in the continent of Calradia, not only will there be alcohol, but also a dinar will be given as a reward for these brave, but most of the time, it is thrown into the hands of the tavern owner, and the white breasts of those prostitutes, and finally returned to the lord's treasury because of the lord's miscellaneous taxes.

Of course, Kant also handed over these matters to Manide to deal with.

However, Kant turned his head and saw the solemnity on Fatis's face.

He also frowned slightly, and then Fatis reported the battle damage of this battle.
