Sean's troops, soon with the corpses of the Northland barbarians and those archers, quickly evacuated the unknown forest.

William looked at the forest behind him, and the original loneliness on his face turned into regret: "It's a pity that there are too few people." ”

In this world, everyone is eager to fight a classic battle of winning more with less, especially the Duchy of Lane, because their thunderous Valkyrie relied on a classic victory with less to lay a solid foundation for the establishment of the Tony Lord.

That's why Tonys is called Tonys, which means land of hope in ancient words.

But William's command style was different, he wanted to have as many troops at his disposal as possible, and if he could use a thousand men, he would never use nine hundred, even if the enemy army only had a hundred. Therefore, when the strength is not superior and there are other options, he will never be stupid enough to go head-to-head with the enemy, or try to fight some classic battle of winning more with less.

In William's words, that's-

"Winning more with less is something that will only be done when there is no way out, and the world only knows the classic of winning more with less, but it will never face up to the victory that is achieved in the situation of occupying the right time, place and people. However, it is no wonder that those people are ignorant, just because they really need a victory to strengthen their courage, so they don't know that more often in this world, the side with fewer people is completely annihilated. ”

"So if I had a choice, I would never do such a stupid thing. It's not that we can't afford to lose, but precisely because we can afford to lose, the less we lose, the better, because the so-called victory is won by relying on these small advantages and details. ”

For William's point of view, Sean actually agrees very much.

In this world, there have never been fewer wars and battles in which fewer victories are more, but people will always remember those who succeeded, and those who failed were completely forgotten. Even in these successful battles, they don't even think about what will be successful.

For example, the classic battle of Asuna in which he knew of Lu Dao was the battle of winning more with less.

In fact, it was Asuna who raided a viscount's territory with superior forces, and then took a baron's strategic location through a blitzkrieg. After that, use weak forces to lure the opposing coalition forces into attack. After raiding the base camp of the opponent's coalition army with superior forces, with the advantage of equipment, the front and rear attacks of the two armies, and the strong strength of the three great magicians in his hand, he directly defeated this coalition army, and pursued and slaughtered for two days and one night, forcing the earl to start a decisive battle with himself in the case of losing people and location, and finally fought a time lag - before the arrival of the coalition army of the two viscounts and several barons, completely defeated the earl's private army.

throughout the campaign. It is only known that Asuna had less than 30,000 troops at that time, but she easily defeated the army of 100,000 of the eighteen nobles of the Kingdom of Dabiang. However, they did not know that Asuna was 30,000 against 10,000 in the first war, and 20,000 against 5,000 in the subsequent blitzkrieg, and although Asuna had only 23,000 troops left in the battle to show the enemy's weakness, he defeated the opponent's 40,000 coalition army through bold tactics to gain the advantage of time and people.

When he forced the army of the Count of the Kingdom of Dabion to start a decisive battle with himself. Asuna had already regained her army to 30,000 by taking over, and then fought a decisive battle against the Earl's 30,000 private army in a situation where she had the advantage of location, people, and people. Later, with 30,000 well-rested and replenished troops, Asuna defeated the 15,000 men of the two viscounts and several barons, who had long been exhausted by the rapid march.

This battle is indeed brilliant, and it is indeed a classic of winning more with less.

But in fact, if you analyze the battle report, it is that Asuna has a complete advantage in every local war. The only war that really has the nature of gambling is that one battle of 23,000 against 40,000. But even this war. Asuna also has several trump cards in her hands, so from the moment she started the war. She was never really at a disadvantage.

Therefore, William's regret for saying "there are too few people", Sean is understandable.

Facing a second-class army of less than 150 men against a third-class army of at least 500 or more is a suicidal act no matter how you look at it.

When Sean and the others withdrew from the forest, the other deputy commander of the Ralaff garrison showed a contemptuous mocking look. In his opinion, so many people have been evacuated from the front, and this time they are still leaving with corpses, it is obvious that it is a defeated army that has been completely defeated and has lost the courage to continue fighting, and for such an army, as a "regular army", of course, he has enough reasons and qualifications to be proud and despised.

But like this kind of clown, Sean, William, and Alfred don't bother to pay attention to it at all. Of course, they also had no ill intent, what kind of expression would he have had if he saw that his vanguard army had less than two hundred men dead.

The retreat of the group was quick, but as soon as they returned to Loveland, Sean met Sir Paro's butler again. It was obvious that the knight was very concerned about the development of the war situation, but at this time, how could Sean have time to deal with the knight, he directly told the steward about the situation in the forest, and he replied to the knight, and even reprimanded the Sir Paro very harshly, saying that he did not tell the truth and the seriousness of the matter.

If Sir Paro really didn't know anything about the enemy army in Ludao, Sean wouldn't believe it, if a city lord was really incompetent to this extent, then Paro's position would have been revoked by Count Danavi long ago.

After hearing Sean's narration, the butler's face changed drastically, and he returned to the City Lord's Mansion as soon as possible.

What happened next, Sean didn't bother to pay attention to it, his commission was actually a loss-making deal in a sense.

In the city of Louvlan, only one temple was built, and although it was not very extravagant in scale, it was a stately structure of absolute standard.

Veynas, the goddess of victory, a medium deity.

This is a god born after the Age of Ashes, and it is only because of her godhead for war and victory that she can quickly have a large number of followers and become a medium god who is about to charge the higher gods.

In fact, since Ragnarok, many of the higher gods have fallen or fallen into a deep sleep, and much of the godhead has been lost. This is why new gods such as the god of courage, the god of war, the goddess of victory, and so on are born. But in fact. The godhead of these new gods all belongs to the system of the laws of war, that is to say, these are all the godheads of the ancient gods of war, but because the god of war fell in Ragnarok and the godhead is scattered, so so many new gods are born.

At this moment, Anno was being treated in the temple of the goddess of victory.

Although his injuries were severe, the Northland Barbarian's physique was enough to ensure that he would not die so soon. It's just that I fainted because of excessive blood loss. But fortunately, Sean sent Anno back in time, and he was willing to spend money, so he completely saved Anno's life, but if you want to recover completely, it is not something that can be solved in a short time.

Although the magic can heal the injuries on his body, the lost blood can only be absorbed through nutritional supplements, so even if the injuries on his body are healed. It still needs to be recuperated for a long time, just like what happened to Sean and the others on the way to the trading capital. However, not everyone was as lucky as Anno, and two seriously injured Northland barbarians were also sent back, but they died of their injuries on the way, and their bodies were placed at the door of the temple.

Sean's brow furrowed slightly, and he glanced at the corpses that were lying on the ground at the moment.

This is not a wild place, and under the premise that the environment permits, Sean actually prefers to be able to bury them rather than cremate them directly. For the Northland barbarians. It's a blessing to be out of the ice. But the land that did not give them a sense of belonging was also a very painful thing, in the tradition of the barbarians of the Northlands. Only by burying the dead can their souls be appeased.

After thinking about it, Sean spoke: "Able to ...... corpse Is it stored here temporarily? ”

Hearing Sean's words, everyone was stunned, storing the body in the temple? And it's also the temple of the goddess of victory, what kind of place does Sean think of the temple of the goddess of victory?

An old man who looked to be a priest of the temple frowned, "This gentleman, I can't agree to your request. ”

"I just don't want the bodies cremated, we want to be able to bury them, but we haven't found a suitable place yet, so I hope to be able to store them here in the temple for the time being, and then come back to retrieve them when we find a suitable place." Sean said earnestly, "If you are as knowledgeable as you are, you should also know that the barbarians of the Northland believe that only by burying the corpse in their hometown can the soul be calmed, so I hope you can help with this." …… Of course, I won't let you be busy in vain, and I'm willing to donate 30,000 gold coins to this temple. ”

30,000 gold coins!

That's a lot of money!

The strength of the gods is inseparable from the worship of believers, and the spread of believers naturally requires the expansion and construction of the temple and propaganda, but the temple is also a mortal thing after all, so if you want to develop, you can't do without sufficient funds in the end. Most of the temples were financed through various divine healing methods and donations from believers, or by fighting a war against the infidels, lending the priests and troops of the temple to nobles, kingdoms, and so on.

However, the temple of the goddess of victory in Louvran City, there are no heretics around, and the employment of nobles is even more unlikely, so I don't know if there are 5,000 gold coins in a year's income, and at this moment, Sean opened his mouth to 30,000 gold coins, which really shocked the old priest. After a moment of contemplation, the old priest finally agreed to save the corpses for Sean in a special way, leaving them to rot, but only for half a year.

For such a result, Sean is naturally quite satisfied.

After these things were dealt with, before Sean had time to rest and catch his breath, William had already come to the door. (To be continued.) )
