Chapter 107: Normandy Collar

The 6th Northwest Collar fell.

After the 6 Commanders in the Northwest consumed more than 5,000 professional soldiers of Sun Lin's main force, the 6 cities and castles were planted with 3 lion flags in succession, plus the number of people who died in the defensive belt established by the 6 Lords in the previous fire, the battle caused a total of about 50,000 military and civilian deaths, a total of more than 10 towns and villages were demolished, and the number of people currently displaced and uprooted within the 6 Territories is as much as 30,000, as for the broken families, it cannot be calculated, of course, this is relative to the Ranster Empire.

On the other hand, in the empire on which the sun never sets, this battle not only allowed Sun Lin to obtain a territory equivalent to the current Sweden + Norway and Finland (because from any point of view, except for the coastal area of York Territory and the outer 3 territories are all areas with a slightly tropical maritime climate, the inland northwest continent is the same as these places or the climate of Russia, and it is also cold), but also obtained 6 castles and cities that are relatively complete in construction but take a little time to build and renovate, and also obtained more than 10 castles and cities that are strategic, The small towns that were more important in trade, although they may not necessarily develop into a large urban agglomeration in the future, can definitely become a very important area of light and heavy industry or specialty (like those areas that can be built as manors, pleasure gardens, and weaving factories in the total war of the Empire), and as for agriculture, although the original 6 territories have a frightening low yield, they have also met the expected requirements after bulldozing a dozen towns and matching them with irrigation facilities to be built in the future.

In terms of population, after capturing and suppressing abduction, nearly 40,000 or so people were obtained, of course, this is certainly not the number of all the original residents of the Lanster Empire in the 6 territories, in fact, there are thousands of civilians hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, as can be seen from the cavalry capture team led by Leo can capture dozens or even hundreds of people in a day. If according to the information given by Thebes before, in addition to the dangerous mob and deserters who will be integrated into the Northwest Terran Slave Army of the Sun Never Setting Empire-Forest Axe Force, there are still nearly 30,000 people left, and now in addition to the newly planned Normandy territory, about 8,000 people will move to the re-planned York territory, and the remaining more than 10,000 people will be moved to the three territories of Sardinia, Rhodes and Herakion, especially the newly developed islands in the Sardinian territory, It is estimated that it will be the first area for more than 10,000 people to visit.

Of course, during the occupation of 1, considering that the 6 dukes and the earl family all had the shadows of the other 3 empires behind them, Sun Lin did not want to make enemies on all sides and deal with 4 empires at the same time. So although the family members were all captured, Sun Lin didn't do anything to them, but only warned him to hand it over to Leo, let him take him back to York City and hand it over to Captain Blackbeard, and let him escort the members of the 6 families to Fort Richard as he did with the members of the Purple Rose family before, although it was like a prison for them, at least Sun Lin would not endanger their lives now, at least until the other 3 empires declared war on the Empire on which the sun never sets.

Since July 13 was the end of the battle, on the same day, Sun Lin took the 3 of the 6 collars closest to the Lancester Empire as the basis, plus some areas behind the corners, to form a new collar - the Normandy Territory. Originally, Sun Lin wanted to choose one of the two cities in the territory as the capital, but after considering that this castle was suitable as the capital in all aspects, especially in terms of strategy, Sun Lin decided that the current Normandy Consulate would take this castle, which is very complete in terms of both architectural scale and facilities, as the capital.

However, as for the remaining 3 territories, they were merged into the York Territory, including a city and two castles that were smaller than the current York City, and at the same time, the 20,000 town militia that were originally used as a baggage force also entered the 6 city castles in batches and became the local security team, and more than 10 3 assigned officials who were already in York City have also set off, and it is expected that all of them will be assigned to the 6 city castles before July 20, It is estimated that the damaged facilities in the six city castles will be repaired by then, and the personnel of the three ministries will be able to use the treasury funds to carry out new construction projects.

Of course, although the war in the northwest of Ranster was finally over, the war between the Sunset Empire and the Ranster Empire had just begun, and after all the 20,000 town militia were stationed in the six city castles, Sun Lin immediately ordered that all the infantry soldiers stationed in the city should leave a part in case of trouble, and all set off to the ambush point set by Sun Lin and Thebes after careful discussion. The professional forces consisted of 10,000 hoplites, 10,000 hookers, and 10,000 yoman longbowmen. The cannon fodder and baggage troops include 20,000 orc slave troops and 10,000 forest axe soldiers, in addition to the war machine unit composed of about 3,000 engineers, as for the war machine is still the same three - scorpion crossbows, medium catapults and heavy catapults.

In addition, the cavalry force with a total of 6,000 people, including more than 2,000 feudal knights, more than 3,000 knight squires and more than 500 commercial horse militiamen, left Normandy Fort as early as the morning of July 15 under the leadership of General Bobby.

Subsequently, in late July, Sun Lin finally got the news that those who were hidden within the Lancester Empire, the former spy of the Lancester Empire, the elite spy of the Killer Guild, and the high-level spy of the Empire that never sets: Lancet 12 has sent troops. It also contained a national mobilization order written by Lancester 12, although the words written on this piece of paper were written in the Chinese language of the Lancester Empire, which was not exactly the same as English or the lingua franca of the mainland, but Sun Lin still roughly understood the meaning written on this paper. It is nothing more than that: after hearing that the 7th Northwest Territory was occupied by the evil Sunset Empire, Lancet 12 was very sad, and then decided to send troops, anxious to form a large army of all the troops in the country and the private soldiers of various nobles, and march to the Northwest 7th Territory to recapture these territories that originally belonged to the Ranster Empire.

"Humph! This kind of trick can only fool the people at the bottom............ And those ignorant civilians in those primitive barbarian empires, if it were the empire on which the sun never sets, even those orcs who had just joined the empire could read it......... But Ranster has finally decided to send troops! I hope to get there soon, I don't want to wait too long near the burial place of their army............"
