Chapter 58: Captain Leo's Guard
When the sun turned red and set from the west, the battle was over, and there was no emergency, no wall collapse, and no so-called "sealing" was opened. Although the orc troops are much stronger than the half-orc troops last time in terms of numbers, combat effectiveness, weapons and equipment, the strength of Sun Lin's side has also improved by more than one and a half compared to the last city defense battle. The heavy use of oil pots, stone walls, longbows, iron weapons and equipment............ Therefore, it is indeed very simple for Sun Lin to win this victory, but it will take some time to deal with the aftermath.
Standing at the top of the castle, looking at the dim wasteland in the distance, I don't know what kind of illusion Sun Lin has, as if the wasteland in front of him is still the same as the scene last night, the torrent composed of torches appears on the wasteland again, but the direction of the torrent is the opposite of last night, it flows in the direction of the distant desert, and those orcs holding torches have also become human soldiers wearing silver and bright full-body plate armor, wearing steel swords, holding 3 lion red shields, and white robes: "There will be a day, Armed with the best weapons and armor, my soldiers will step into the desert without borders, and kill any orcs who dare to invade Nottingham before, and I hope that day will not keep me ................ long."
Slightly sipped the red wine glass with wine in his hand, and pressed the temple of his head to relieve the pain on his head, the battle was over, but the problems exposed after the battle made Sun Lin not even feel a little rest. Although with the help of the system, Sun Lin borrowed the war value rewarded after this battle to complete the reorganization of all the recruited troops, so that the 7 longbow troops, 3 hook and sickle troops, 6 hoplite sergeant troops, two chain mail cavalry units, and two Hobila Ranger units in the Nottingham District were all restored to full strength, and although the arrows, asphalt, javelins and other items lost in the battle could not be replenished for the time being, under the high-speed operation of the quartermaster workshops in the two major cities, it was only a matter of time and money. But even so, Sun Lin still couldn't be happy, because he never imagined that under his careful management, there would still be so-called racial "traitors" in the city of London. And the reason why these people became racial "traitors" is simply to make more commercial profits, although most of these people are unknowingly pulled into the water, but ..................
"But a traitor is a traitor! Just as it's impossible to crumple paper into a ball and try to smooth it out, since they decided to take this step in the first place, it means that they have decided to stand on the opposite side of the Empire! I will never be soft on traitors! You can't be soft! Looking at the master of the empire in front of him, Leo, who had just come in to collect all the information on the secret people who had "betrayed" the New Delhi Peninsula in Nottingham, and handed it over to Sun Lin, was heartfelt surrender and worry, surrendering to Sun Lin's increasingly obvious kingly demeanor, worried that Sun Lin would eventually become an emotionless king in the process of growing up, at least judging from Sun Lin's recent performance, Sun Lin's future development path is indeed the same: "But general, They have only sold some of the black bread that the inhabitants have eliminated to the orc tribes in the depths of the desert through foot merchants, and what they have done is not wrong, both legally and morally, and they are legitimate smuggling, and they have made a mortgage in the Nottingham Fiscal District, for which our treasury has received a considerable amount of money.................."
"But it's really because of this that these merchants have unintentionally planted the seeds of jealousy and greed in the hearts of these orc tribes, so that Captain Richard Guard is killed! All the soldiers of the first detachment, except for the regimental commander Zalaku, who had just woken up from his hospital bed, were killed! The 'God blessed' canyon has once again been plagued by unwarranted calamities! Aren't these few enough?! The emotional Sun Lin knocked the desk before his death a few times, and the huge force shook the wine in the red wine glass out, and the dark red wine dripped on Sun Lin's collar and neck, spreading red, which looked particularly dazzling on the bright white linen, but the cold stimulation also made Sun Lin calm down a little: "................Whew, I'm sorry Leo, I'm a little emotional." ”
"It's all right, Your Excellency."
"Whew.................. Leo, do you think Captain Richard's death was wronged? In the sandstorm, the sudden orc troops didn't even say hello, they rushed directly into the array of the first detachment with weapons in hand, in order to prevent the orcs from reaching outside Nottingham before I returned to Nottingham, Richard personally led 80 light and heavy cavalry to lead away all the orc light cavalry, and bought time for the first detachment of infantry soldiers to evacuate to the nearest oasis to use the favorable terrain to block the orc troops, but finally died of exhaustion in the chaos................"
"It's a pity that such a good head actually died like this, and if you talk about it in every way, Captain Richard is still my teacher? Hehe, it's really a hero's short life............ But despite this, Your Excellency General, I don't agree with you killing innocents indiscriminately, you are the Libra on which the sun never sets, and you must take the lead in the fairness of the laws and unfairness of the empire, so no matter what happens, I don't want Your Excellency General to be too emotional. ”
"Really? Speaking of which, you are really more and more like Richard, whether it is temperament, morality or dealing with people, ............." Sun Lin, who had a hint of a smile on his face, walked quietly to the desk, and after a while of fumbling, took out a brass badge from a stack of papers, which depicted a knight riding a strong horse holding a spear, wrapped in armor and red robes, and looking up at the sky. The mysterious knight was exactly the same as the Captain of the Guard Richard, who had trained them but was now dead: "Here you Leo, and then!" ”
Stretching out his hand, he put it in his hand and looked at it for a while, Leo asked Sun Lin with a strange expression: "Your Excellency General, this .................. What is this thing, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere? ”
"It's the thing I found from Zaraku, and the only thing left of the dead Captain Richard's guard now, which I personally gave to Richard after he became my captain of the guard, but looking at it now, it seems that I think it would be more appropriate to put something on you."
"General, General, what does this mean, do you say, do you say ...............?"
"Well, you guessed it, Your Excellency Captain Leo."
