Chapter 290: On Meritorious Deeds
After counting the battlefield, get a battle damage report for this battle.
The Holy Dragon City side lost 347 kobold ironclad soldiers, of which 47 were trampled to death by the war horses, and the other 300 were accidentally stepped into the teleportation magic array and were taken away. The 178 giant bees Ruluto were also taken away by the teleportation magic array during the battle. In addition, there are three unlucky soldiers of Mangar City who accidentally fell down in the war and were cut by the weapons next to the corpses.
Destroy 727 Beit Imperial soldiers. Of these, 371 people were killed alive by the bombs, including 69 horses. The rest were killed by crossbow arrows and magic arrows, which shows that the real combat power comes from bombs! In such a large-scale war, it is true that hot weapons are far more powerful than cold weapons!
Then he also captured 100 wounded soldiers of the Bait Empire, and obtained 362 horses that fled in fright due to the death of their masters, and were finally captured.
Overall, the results are quite rich. The only losses were the recruited kobolds and ruruto, and in addition to the iron armor and iron spears carried by the kobolds, there were actually no particularly huge losses.
This battle should be considered a victory!
For Jia Zhengjin, the kobold and Luruto's troops, no matter how much they lost, were within an acceptable range. As long as there are no losses in the soldiers and elven shooters of Mangar City, it is the best news!
After all, if a human from another world dies, he is really dead, and no matter how much kobold and Ruruto lose, they can be made up by recruitment.
"In today's battle, everyone performed very well!" After cleaning up the battlefield, Jia Zhengjin said to the miscellaneous troops in front of him, "The success of repelling the enemy depends on your desperate battle! Everyone has made great contributions!"
"Ashamed!" Hearing Jia Zhengjin's words, a captain-level figure walked out of the soldiers in Mangar City, "Instead of helping today, we almost let the enemy escape from the encirclement!
Regarding the performance of the soldiers in Mangar City, in fact, Wolf also secretly told Jia Zhengjin. Originally, he was prepared to thin the mud and not mention it. After all, he also knew that this group of soldiers had only been here for a short time, and they were poorly equipped and untrained, so their morale was probably not very high. As a patrol team on the periphery, it is quite qualified. Therefore, they were not expected to contribute much in this battle!
But it's pretty good that they can be so honest and don't take the so-called credit!
Thinking of this, he immediately asked the person who stood up: "Who are you?"
"Report to Lord Keane!" replied the captain immediately, "I'm Eden, the captain of the former Mangar City Guard!"
"Eden's apple?"
"Huh?" Eden looked dazed.
"It's okay!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly smiled, "Eden?
"Yes, Master Keane!" replied Eden, "we were originally under General Moses. General Moses went out with his army, and he temporarily handed over the team to me!"
"Oh~" Jia Zhengjin nodded.
"Lord Keane, our troops didn't do any help, but dragged their feet! If we had been able to fight together, maybe the enemy wouldn't have run away!" Eden reproached himself.
Jia Zhengjin said in his heart that people estimate that there is a teleportation magic array, and you can catch it if you join? It's really too much to think about!
So he said to him: "It's okay! This battle came suddenly, you have not been systematically trained, and you are not well-equipped enough, and your sense of identity with our Holy Dragon City may not be enough. But these are not problems, since you join the Holy Dragon City, you are one of us! Tomorrow, I will send someone to guide you to train together, improve your combat ability and army morale! At the same time, I will also prepare a batch of weapons and armor of better quality for you to improve your combat effectiveness! The next time an enemy attacks, you will give me a command! Let everyone know that our Holy Dragon City is not easy to mess with!"
"Yes!!" Eden replied excitedly. Their own team dragged their feet and was not able to help in the battle. But instead of reprimanding and punishing, Master Keane gently comforted himself like this, and even considered future training for the troops, which he had rarely heard of!
"Wolf, Carl, Vera, you are doing well!" Jia Zhengjin turned to the three werewolves, "Go back to the city and go to the warehouse to get five times as much raw meat, and all the kobolds will also eat!"
"Thank you, Lord Keane!" the three werewolves all smiled with joy. For them, there is nothing they want but food. Although you can eat all-you-can-eat on a regular basis, you don't have to worry about food at all. But even when they are full, they can still eat a lot of meat.
In order not to waste raw meat, Jia Zhengjin usually lets them eat until they are full, and tries to avoid meaningless eating. So giving them raw meat as a snack is the best reward for them!
Like werewolves, kobolds are also foodies. Anyway, what comes out of a nest is all the existence of grinding teeth as a snack when they are full. The reward of raw meat made all the kobolds howl with excitement.
Jia Zhengjin asked Eden to lead the troops back to the station, and then told Worf, Karl, and Vera to return to the city with the kobold troops and Ruruto's troops. He led nearly a thousand archers from the elven archery group, leading the dragon and walking slowly: "Philip, Fiora!"
"Yes, Lord Keane, please command!" the two elves responded at the same time, one on the left and one on the right.
"Your performance today is very good, I am very satisfied!" Jia Zhengjin said, "I will go to the warehouse in a while and everyone will get 5 bottles of honey and a basket of vegetables and fruits." As for the two of you, each get 1 more bottle of nectar!"
"Thank you, Master Keane!!" the elves cheered.
Philip and Fiora also had excited smiles on their faces. Honey is the elves, no! it's the drink that everyone in the Holy Dragon City loves. The nectar is even more precious, and only Lord Keane and those close to him have the opportunity to enjoy it. They were just lucky enough to taste it and were intoxicated at the time. There is no better reward for them!
"It's a pity that there are not enough funds in the city now, otherwise I would like to reward everyone with a gold coin!" Jia Zhengjin said regretfully, "But it doesn't matter, I will help you remember! When our Holy Dragon City's financial situation improves, this gold coin will be distributed together with the future, and it will definitely not be disadvantaged to you anyway!"
"Thank you, Master Keane!!" the elves erupted in cheers again.
"Amber!" After returning to the city, Jia Zhengjin called the captain of the new crossbow team who was leading the patrol.
"Lord Keane!" Amber immediately greeted politely.
"Well, your new crossbowmen are training well, I'm satisfied!"
"Thank you, Mistress Keane!" Amber was very happy to receive the compliment.
"Now, I give you the title of the Holy Dragon Guardian of this new crossbow corps! The members include the new unit stationed on the periphery!" Jia Zhengjin said, "I want you to lead the troops over tomorrow and use the training method I taught to train that recruit team together! They are assigned to your subordinates, and Eden is your deputy! If you can't produce results within a month, you are the only one who asks!"
"Yes!!" Amber replied excitedly as soon as he heard that his team had expanded.
