"It's too messy inside!" "Your Majesty should wait until it's cleaned up before going in......" Seeing the fat man's horse team appear on the street leading to the center of the city, Hu Keqili, who was still covered in the blood of the enemy, stopped in a panic,

Behind him, a group of soldiers were busy carrying corpses, and when they saw the figure of the falcon, they all stopped what they were doing and stood up straight on the side of the street.

The fat man looked ahead, his bright eyes flashed with a strange feeling, and the black armor on his body exuded a black luster similar to that of the Netherworld under the light of the not bright daylight, and the majestic momentum made Hu Keqili a little breathless

"Do whatever you have to do, I'm just here to see"

The fat man withdrew his gaze from a row of thatched houses still scorching in the distance, his lips squirmed slightly, and he waved his hand at Hukochili,

It's no wonder that the fat man would let out such a feeling, the corpses at the fork in the road ahead almost blocked the road ahead, and the houses that were burned down by the fire everywhere exposed the pillars of the houses that were almost black charcoal, and under the background of the bloody corpses, like the legendary ghosts,

Less than half of these corpses were dressed as real warriors, most of them were dressed in civilian linen leather, and even though they were dead, they still held a variety of weapons in their hands.

"No, it's just that the area ahead is where the Red Devils will last fight to the death, so ......" Hukochi froze there, his face strange and he stopped talking

The fat man knew that Hukochili was the most fierce resistance of the East Alais, and finally used heavy cavalry to completely defeat this stubborn enemy, under the heavy hooves, the bloody and tragic can be imagined,

The corner of the fat man's mouth sneered, "Lead the way ahead, is it possible that in your mind, I have fallen so far that I dare not even look at blood?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hu Keqi reluctantly turned over and mounted his war horse. With a few subordinates in front of the road, through the fork in the road, the scene in front of it is becoming more and more cruel,

The number of corpses has grown almost exponentially. From a dozen to hundreds, the corpses of the Red Devils wearing red horned helmets finally appeared

The cold temperature covered the pile of corpses with a layer of white frost, which looked like frost fish caught by fishermen on the eastern seashore from the ice sea, white and contrasting with the bloodstained color on the road next to them.

The fat man's war horse stopped, and a pungent smell of blood mixed with the burnt smell of the burning house. Filled with the oncoming wind, the black smoke went straight up to the sky not far away, and from a distance it looked like blood coming out of the wounds of the city.

In front of him was a 40-meter-long ramp of stairs, the only way to the city center, and the once white stone staircase was now completely a strange dark red.

In front of this slope. Everyone's faces were very stern, because the familiar smell told everyone what this dark red slope was made of. It was blood that clotted in the cold wind,

Touching his fat nose, he vaguely felt a little tingling in the cold and dry northland air, or the scene in front of him made him feel a little tingling,

All the retinue cavalry did not dare to gnaw, even Hukochili, this slope like a waterfall of blood, let everyone fall into an indescribable tranquility,

The wind was howling, but the familiar smell was already suffocating. That's the smell of blood and killing, after all, people are not senseless machines, in the fierce battle, they can not hesitate to chop off the enemy's frightened head with a knife, let the steaming blood splash on their faces, and even stick out their tongues to taste the taste of blood,

But that doesn't mean in a calm state. can still face this almost tragic scene calmly without any burden,...,

"This is the last junction of the Red Devils in East Ireland," Hukochili explained with an ugly face next to him, "There are so many corpses piled up on it that it is impossible to pass normally, because most of the corpses have died under the hooves of the heavy cavalry, and the scattered limbs and blood flow down from the top of the inclined steps like a waterfall, and finally form a blood-colored waterfall that resembles a spectacle."

"Did anyone survive?" the fat man's face was grim as if he was about to drip water, this scene reminded him of Tyrburg, who was also a sea of corpses and blood, it was a battle he didn't like to remember the most, it was a killing not a war, a killing with no other choice,

This is how the Fat Man defined the battle, and although the Falcon Army won the final victory, the price was the hostility of tens of thousands of Tyrs, and the near-destruction of an area.

When the same question was put in front of the fat man, the fat man felt a little hesitant,

"With the number of thousands of people, more than 10,000 of my elites have been blocked, and the name of the First Army in the North is indeed true" Hu Keqili smiled helplessly, "Although in the face of the irresistible heavy cavalry impact, there is still no fight to the death, I have ordered to search for the survivors as much as possible, but I have not found any news of the survivors, presumably there are no survivors"

"They're all warriors!" Hearing Hukochili's answer, the fat man took a deep breath, and a heavy and cold voice snorted from his nasal cavity, "Although you are an enemy, you should also be treated convincingly to this last resistance of warriors,"

"There is no doubt that the combat power of the Northland warriors is indeed superior to that of the soldiers in the interior, and in order to defeat these stubborn enemies, our army has also suffered extremely heavy losses, so I order the soldiers to do their best to collect the corpses of the Red Devils and bury them according to the ritual of the warriors," the fat man tilted his head and instructed Hu Keqili,

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hu Keqili's somewhat sympathetic face finally stabilized, and a strange look flashed on his face

"You should have something else you want to ask, right?" the fat man asked calmly, taking in his expression, as if there would have been such a situation a long time ago

"My subordinates suddenly have an unrealistic idea, I don't know if I should ask or not!" Hu Keqili's face hesitated, and he felt that the Falcon Majesty's burning gaze was like a sharp sword, with a penetrating sense of piercing, Hu Keqili was frightened when he saw it, as if the secret in his heart had been completely seen through

Hu Keqili gritted his teeth and said boldly, "Although our army was a surprise attack in this battle, it still paid nearly 3,000 casualties, but until now, my subordinates don't know why His Majesty is ......" Hu Keqili's voice suddenly stopped, and there was a look on his face that wanted to say something

"You want to ask why I'm hitting Andrade, don't you?" said the fat man, looking at the sky in the distance, with a suffocating pressure

"The subordinates don't dare!" Hu Keqili's body trembled slightly, and his face turned slightly pale with fright from this sentence, but he wanted to know the real reason, although the military meeting said that it was to shock the hearts of the people in the Northland. But Hukochili vaguely felt that it was not at all like that,

The Red Devils' almost frantic resistance before the destruction of Miè suddenly reminded him that the East Ile were not pure Northlanders, and in a sense, the East Earai were an alien race from further north, just like themselves from the south, in the hearts of most Northlanders. The East Arai people are also alien, so they are isolated, even if they know that they will die, they can only hold on, this is a desperate resistance of a people,

"As the main attack of this campaign, what do you think of the defense of the city of Andrade?" said the fat man, raising his horsewhip and answering the question

"The subordinates are stupid, Andrade's defense is really ......" Hukochili looked up a little dazedly. He didn't know why His Majesty Falcon asked this question, so he could only stubbornly answer..., "The army is thin, and the city walls are not stable. Compared with the big cities in the interior that have been conquered in the past, it is a bit of a lift to say that it is strong, which is also where the subordinates are confused, if such a remote force can threaten the empire, it is really a bit far-fetched,

"And the influence of the East Ile people in the Northland is really ......," Hukochili's voice stopped, and he glanced at the fat man, as if he was afraid that if he continued, he would anger the fat man

"Hehe, being able to see this clearly doesn't disappoint my years of cultivation!" the fat man laughed instead of being angry. "Actually, there is no place for the East Ile people to provoke me, and the so-called disobedience is just an excuse to send troops" The fat man pointed to the city in front of him, and said in a condensed voice, "The mistake of the East Ile people is because they built this city,

This is the connection between the Arctic Circle and the Northland, and this is a gate, who controls Andrade. Whoever owns this gate, and the strategic initiative will also fall into whose hands! With Andrade in hand, it can attack and retreat, and it can also cut off the connection between the northern land and the extremely cold regions, I say this, do you understand?"

"I see, I'll just say how can your majesty trade at a loss......" Hu Keqi tilted his head and muttered in a low voice full of admiration

"It's bad luck to say bad things about your boss to your face!" the fat man with pointed ears snorted, pretending to be a little annoyed,

"Ah...... This ......" Hu Keqili's face turned pale, and he remembered that the heart of the Falcon Majesty was famously small, and when he was at a loss, he saw a savior in the distance

"What does Your Majesty want to do with this Andrade City?" The princess of the Eastern Court, Rui Tang Tingna, followed from behind with the guards, and before she was completely in front of her, a crisp voice had already come,

"This close woman" The fat man's face changed slightly, and he immediately changed to a worried look, and said with a sad face

"It's really a miscalculation this time, only to find such a dilapidated place after fighting, I'm afraid that no one wants to live in it, although the city is now occupied, but no one dares to guarantee that the people of East Ile will not fight back,

If the troops are stationed on the spot, the number is too small and useless, and the number is too much, just the problem of food and warm clothing for the army is enough for the Imperial Logistics Department to complain to me, what a headache!"

Rui Tangtingna was obviously not surprised by the fat man's nonsense answer, and rolled her eyes a little helplessly,

He said softly, "Your Majesty is lying again, if you really don't want to, then leave it to our Dongting Royal Court, and it is not a bad harvest to be able to find a place to live in the Northland."

"You, what do you want this place for?" the fat man's face was stunned for a moment,

"Your Majesty, there is still something to do with my subordinates" Hu Keqili took the opportunity to quickly find an excuse to leave, and after getting the tacit approval of the fat man, he stayed away from the pair of dog men and women as if he was running away

Rui Tang Tingna completely ignored the fat man's laziness, but glanced around with interest, "I looked around just now, this place is a little small, but it's not useless, according to the traditional practice of our Dongting people, for such a city to burn down directly, as long as you wait for a year or two, it is definitely the best grassland,

"Look at this city full of corpses, only the land that has been infested with human blood is the best pasture to grow, this is our Kugit proverb!" Rui Tang Tingna's voice stopped, her misty eyes blinked, and her face was full of joy

"This is the Bitter Northland. Can't grow the pasture you need!"

"That's right, there's no grass growing in this place!" seemed to be woken up by the fat man, Rui Tangtingna's pretty expression flashed a trace of disappointment, and her white fingers subconsciously coiled the jet-black horsewhip. The corners of his mouth playfully skimmed, "It's really a useless place, forget it, I don't want it!"

The fat man glanced at this nervous chick a little speechlessly, thinking about such a question in this city full of corpses, she may seem the most natural and perverted one,

The thinking of the Dongting people really made the fat man feel speechless. If such a woman is placed by her side, will she influence herself into a murderer, the fat man felt a little chill down his spine, sighed and said, "I don't know what the concept is in your Dongting people, but in my place, ruining is the most useless of all means!"

"Then what do you want to do with it?" asked Rui Tangtina in confusion

"In the Northland, where it's hard to dig rocks. It would take ten or even decades to build such a city," the fat man decided to educate this thug well, and said with a solemn look, "If we burn it down like this, it will not be the pastures that will grow over time, but the Northlanders' evaluation of the Empire's cruelty and inhumanity." This ruin will become a scar of history, forever engraved on the shelf of shame."

"History, haha, we Dongting people don't believe this!" Dongting Girl obviously didn't eat this set, directly pursed her red lips, and said stubbornly, "As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that the city has lost the most important thing, and it is difficult for the already small population to lose half of it in this war, which means that basically all the adult males in the city are dead"

Rui Tang Tingna pursed her lips and said disapprerovantly, "Most of the remaining captives of about 10,000 people are old and weak women and children who have no combat effectiveness, unless Your Majesty releases those enemies who have lost their clansmen and are full of hatred. Otherwise, the city is a dead city, and what is the value of a city that is uninhabited"

The education of the Dongting people is too much of a failure! It goes so far as to ignore history...... The fat man sighed helplessly, and snorted angrily, "There are some things you don't understand!"

Sweeping his eyes sharply over the ruined city, the fat man said in a deep voice, "War is only a continuation of political means, just like military deterrence is just a means."

Only real interests can really let the influence of the empire really penetrate into this wild area, I want to make this city an arena in the hearts of the people of the Northlands, any tribe wants to have a place in this arena, the most basic thing is to be loyal to the owner of the arena, that is, to the empire!"

The fat man looked at the sky in the distance and continued, "The ownership of this city belongs to the empire, and I have no intention of handing it over to any clan in the Northland, but I can select three or four families from the forces in the Northland that belong to us to manage this city together, so that it can not only effectively contain the Besu people who are allied with us, but also appease those tribes who are already wavering in the middle, I believe that it will not be long before this will be the largest settlement in the Northland,

If the East Arai attack again, these tribes will naturally stand with us, unless they are willing to spit out this piece of fat to their mouths and return to their previous difficult situation, do you think this is possible?

Rui Tang Tingna's pretty face suddenly became solemn, with a pair of watery eyes that fascinated the dead and did not lose money, staring at the fat man more and more brightly, such a statement completely shocked the heart of this tough girl, just a slight change, this originally useless area can have the effect of shaking the entire Northland, her evaluation of the fat man has once again reached a higher level,

"What about those East Ile captives?" asked Rui Tangtina with a hesitant expression

"It's all for you! The Empire doesn't need these captives!" the fat man tapped his horsewhip lightly and said lightly, "Hukochili has taken care of them all in the southeast corner of the city, you can send someone to take them over, and I'm sure you'll take care of it!"

Hearing the fat man's words, Rui Tangtingna's delicate body on the war horse trembled, and the tens of thousands of prisoners of war undoubtedly hit the weakness she cared about the most.

She advocated attacking the Northland this time, although she had quite a meritorious achievement, but she did not get any benefits, and she was afraid that going back would also cause discussion among all ethnic groups.

This was originally a question that bothered Rui Tangtingna,

Now just because of a word from the fat man, this problem is solved, which is definitely an unexpected fortune,

Since ancient times, the Dongting people have had the habit of judging success or failure by the number of prisoners, and if they do not get any benefits in a war, it will not only be very humiliating but also cause dissatisfaction among the clansmen.

With these tens of thousands of captives, this battle of Rui Tangtingna's Northland can be regarded as a fruitful harvest.

Although the Western Army, which also attacked, also gained a lot of benefits, it was in exchange for the loss of nearly 20,000 elite cavalry, and the comparison with Rui Tangtingna's battle losses is not the same at all

"You will arrange ...... right away," Rui Tang Tingna whispered to a thousand cavalry commanders who accompanied the team next to her with a solemn expression, and it seemed that she was not in the mood to continue pestering the fat man
