Chapter 137 Castle (Part 2)

In front of the castle, soldiers were walking quickly.

One hundred and fifty prisoners were disarmed and all knelt on the ground, with cavalry guarding them around.

The clear sunshine after the rain not only did not reduce blood on the battlefield, but also made the flesh and blood particularly obvious, and the air was filled with a disgusting sweet smell.

The steps shattered the lush grass, but the tender green juice was mixed with the red blood.

After the battle, the battlefield is cleaned up.

First of all, it is to count and collect weapons on the battlefield. Except for underwear, everything is considered spoils. The soldiers accumulate the dead, but divide the injured into two piles.

If the holy water is sprinkled on the wound, it can be disinfected and stopped bleeding, and then bandaged.

Only seriously injured will obtain valuable magic to heal the wound so that it will not be fatal. However, those enemies will not be treated so well.

Those who have been injured can barely get bandages, but basically won’t get holy water, let alone divine therapy.

The only one, of course, is that knight.

Although he is an enemy knight, according to the rules of the nobles, he can not only avoid death, but also receive treatment.

"This is the Knight Alec Daro, who has been a family of knights for five generations. You just killed his son, his eldest son and a knight attendant." Etger walked over and said.

"Oh, does he have a son?"

"Yes, and a second son, this is also a great blessing."

"Will his knight be deprived?"

"It shouldn't be, when the new Count Hamish is born, he will be loyal to the new Count, and the new Count will not deprive him of his title - his brave performance and the price of losing his son are enough to save his family." Etger said: "So you may get an enemy, of course, it's not your fault, and you can also get a ransom."

The nobles ruled that the captured people would of course pay for themselves, and the price varies according to the title and wealth, but a knight is worth at least one hundred Jinlekes.

"Yeah!" Fang Xin nodded and said nothing.

At this moment, someone came forward to report: "Sir, there were 2 captured chain mails, 12 leather armor, 10 bows, and 235 long swords... Some gold and silver items were found in the castle, worth about 1,000 gold lakes. As for food and grass, we won't count them... A total of 13 people died in battle!"

"Well, the results are pretty good, thanks to the priest!" Etger responded.

Then, he said to the clerk waiting on the side: "You go check the weapons and equipment yourself. If you can use them, don't sell them. After all, there may be a battle in the future. As for all gold and silver items, you can sell them."

"Also, check the grain and goods to see if they can last for three months. If they can persist, they can collect them in nearby villages, or buy batches. Also, all the prisoners work for me and repair the castle, especially the city walls and arrow towers."

Etge ordered in an orderly manner to control and transform the castle.

"Aristocracy is aristocrat, and common people are civilians. Every class has its own responsibilities, just as God allows men to work outside and women to govern at home." Fang Xin couldn't help but think of this sentence. Although this must be one-sided, in this era, the gap between nobles and poor people was indeed very obvious.

In Europe, although there are some children of aristocratic families, it is far from common, because the eldest son wants to inherit the family, the second son must make a living, and in order to live in the future, it will not be the case.

After Etger finished his order, he said to Fang Xin again: "His Excellency Daniel, what do you think?"

At this time, the core members all looked at Fang Xin and waited for his speech. In the battle just now, Fang Xin had gained considerable prestige and respect, after all, the strong naturally had privileges.

Fang Xin smiled, looked at no one around, and sorted out his words in his heart and said, "Now, we have seized the castle. In fact, as long as we guard and don't fight, even if Viscount Senkada has five hundred people, it will be difficult to capture it!"

"What?" The people around him showed a surprised expression, and after a moment, they nodded repeatedly.

"Therefore, the problem is not that guarding the castle is not guarding it. If Baron Xia Jason is defeated, even if we keep it, it will be meaningless. I think it will be difficult for us to receive substantial rewards!"

"In the agreement, we have achieved our goal as long as we seize and hold this castle," said Bud.

But Etge nodded to him thoughtfully and said, "Indeed, we can be titled and gained a small piece of territory, which is based on the victory of the Principality."

"Baron Jason became the Earl of Hamish, which has some benefits for expanding the power of the Duchy, but it is not obvious. In exchange, I think the Baron will at least return the original territory, the Grand Duke, my father, and we will all gain benefits, and may even cut off some of the Earl's territory."

"So, indeed, first of all, Baron Jason needs to win, otherwise it will be meaningless. Secondly, we must establish more merits to ensure that a baron leader can be awarded ten hereditary jazz lords, but we are not the only one!"

"Maybe we can seize another castle, and in this way we not only promote victory, but also guarantee our reward."

It was indeed obvious that Etger said repeatedly.

Therefore, the eyes of everyone looking at Fang Xin became even more complicated, with praise, appreciation, and a little annoyed.

After that, the core began to discuss, and there were three castles around.

Rousburg, a castle in the fertile territory, is protected by 500 people and is difficult to capture, but once captured, a large amount of fertile territory will be obtained.

Deersburg, right ahead, penetrated deep into the enemy's territory and achieved a key strategic location.

Pusseyburg is located on the edge and has a geographical location similar to that of Fayerburg.

There are great differences, so the debate is very fierce.

At this time, Fang Xin didn't say much, but just listened, Etger thought for a moment, and decided to attack Pussyburg.

"Everyone, I don't think we have this power to attack Rousburg. As for Deusburg, although the castle is not big, if we go deeper, we will become the pioneers and will be attacked by Viscount Senkada. I'm afraid we will become victims instead. Therefore, the only choice we can choose is Fort Pussy."

"Pussy Fort Pusey is located on the edge, with a small population and a mountainous area. Viscount Senkada is not supported, so we can hold on for more than three months. With our troops, this is the best result."

"Pussieburg and Fayerburg are a half-baron territory. All three of us can be awarded hereditary jazz and even divided into several knights. This is enough."

The very sober Etger, Fang Xin immediately agreed, and the others agreed to the request after a little debate.

When others left, Etger said to Fang Xin again: "Dear Daniel, I will use the temporary lord to recruit 200 mercenaries, but I can only divide 300 attacks to Pussy Castle - Pussy Castle may not be out of the city to attack. It will be troublesome to defend the castle. At that time, I will still rely on you."

Fang Xin smiled bitterly and said, "Etger, you respect me so much. I don't have many magic tricks. I am just a level 3 mage now. Only by reaching level 5 or above can I have these powers."

"Dear Daniel, you don't have to underestimate yourself. As long as you make reasonable use of it, I think we can still win!" Etger said without caring about it.

Fang Xin just refused just now, so I won’t say much now. At least the poison gas cylinder is very good. This is a very powerful blow to fixed locations, almost the same as the Death Cloud Technique. He said immediately: “How many days will it take for you to complete these tasks?”

"It should actually take a month to heal the wounded and recruit mercenaries. Next month, we will fight again. What do you think?"

"I do have some ideas about siege. I want to pack goods and supplies, as well as dispatch some magic apprentices, which will cost a lot..."

Etger thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, even if I take out all my property, I will support your actions."

According to the aristocratic system, in fact, the title of aristocratic and corresponding property rights and political privileges are only owned by the title leader themselves. Although their families are members of the aristocratic family, their political status is close to that of ordinary free people.

The noble title and fiefdom are passed down according to a very strict system of inheritance for the eldest son; if the eldest son dies early, the eldest grandson, second son, young son or other family members will be repaid in sequence.

So, he was actually a free citizen, especially after his father passed the title to his brother after his death.

If there is no accident, the next generation will become a member of ordinary citizens and no longer belong to a noble family. Therefore, in order to obtain titles and land, he is willing to fight for it. He has this courage, and Fang Xin also agreed, and nodded to show his understanding.

There are no ban on martial arts regulations in this era. The magical poison gas cylinders have a very good effect. I believe there should be no mage in the other party’s castle!

As for the priest, there is no wind realm, and these poisonous gases cannot be blown away.

For the wizard, the priest is much weaker. It is subject to God's realm. In fact, many things are difficult to do, and it is more about pastoring believers, healing believers, and guiding believers.
