The thirty-ninth chapter of Rhodok's mourning (3)
Hu Bin, who had been sleeping until dawn, felt that he was simply terrible. The fatigue accumulated over a few days surged from all over his body. The clothes were probably replaced by the maid, but the faint smell of blood still filled Hu Bin's body.
Hu Bin patted his face and was about to deal with the mess left by yesterday. Su Jiamiaomiao's figure appeared from behind the door, and the tray in his hand was filled with food.
Hu Bin, who was having breakfast, learned that the aftermath work had been settled by Su Jia. A large amount of spoils made Hu Bin's working capital rich again. In addition to the part of the Grey who gave the strong, it was enough to comfort Hu Bin, who almost became the commander of the bare hands. A group of captured soldiers were still waiting for Hu Bin to deal with it, and selling them was another considerable income. However, compared to those scraps, Hu Bin's biggest income was this large city.
Jerkora, a large capital-level city with a defense level of four (partially damaged), is equipped with two city-defense rapid-fire crossbows, with a population of 5,862, a low prosperity, two subordinate villages and one port.
Because of expelling the former citizens of Rodok, the prosperity of Jerchra was severely damaged, and the population was barely maintained by the nearby neutral refugee groups and caravans. But Hu Bin believes that with the establishment of the port, indigenous merchants from all over the country would flock to it, and perhaps a second Turga scene would appear here.
Because Hu Bin alone resisted the attack of many lords, most of the lords who fell on the city wall were captured by Hu Bin. A total of 6 lords of Rodok and 1 Swadia were imprisoned in the prison, and there were 11 tyrants of the Rodok camp. These unlucky guys wanted to achieve their contributions in one battle, but they were eventually taken over.
The nobles of the enemy country were treated as being released on the spot. After all, in addition to the requirements of side missions, they can also receive a lot of honors. Hu Bin, who is not short of money, is too lazy to wait for the other family to redeem them, but the numberers are not so easy.
These numberers and their entourages brought huge casualties to Hu Bin, especially the rare hero knights who had a rare output fell into 6 people at once. The ransom was difficult to calm Hu Bin's anger. Not to mention the difficult situation, even the numberers who fooled the entourage equipment could not afford this ransom.
Hu Bin, who was having a headache about how to squeeze out oil from these numberers, received news from Gri Suxing, so he simply put the numberers in prison and went to see Gri first.
"Reid, I want to go back and replenish some troops quickly. Fortunately, you didn't defeat all my troops. I will bring my new army to scare you next time I meet. I'm not short of money now, hahaha!" Hu Bin ignored Grifa's nerves who had made a lot of money. He had already agreed with this ally in the actual sense and calmed him down to recover from his injuries.
The fierce battle of guarding Gerchorra finally came to an end.
Gerry was not disappointed. Although he lost a lot of troops this time, Hu Bin retained him an elite cavalry, which was enough for him to make a comeback. Gerry, who had a lot of financial income, cared about the rewards of reputation and the opening of the legion. The last major battle was a whole game, and defending the city this time was a real record. Hu Bin didn't know how much benefit Gerry had, but he used his own space prompt to infer that at least Gerry would have a great leap forward in strength at this stage.

Both sides of the war: the super-large legion of the Kingdom of Rodok and the Kingdom of Swadia (3075 troops, mainly composed of infantry and crossbowmen) against the defenders of the city of Gerjara (627 troops, composed of Sarand and Kujit and neutral mixed troops)

"No. 000003, get the loot..."
"No. 000003, gain experience..."
"No. 000003, you have captured it..."
Hu Bin, who encountered heavy losses in the army, suffered a good economic situation, completely gave up the tactics of the sea of people and began to take the elite route.
The butler Geldan brought him good news. As long as Hu Bin sent Ted to the merchant ship that was about to return to the Reed family's base for further study for a month, he could train mercenary cavalry or slave trader leader (the top-level army of bounty hunters) to become an intern hero knight.
But the problem is that supporting armor and war horses can only be transported overseas for a large price, and wearing these equipment will make them a true heroic knight. Maritime transportation restricts the volume of goods. The housekeeper recommends Hu Bin to purchase several ocean-going merchant ships to meet the needs and expand the interests of cross-continental trade. However, for Hu Bin's current funds, the purchase of ocean-going ships and the employment of sailors are unrealistic. He can only rely on the merchant ships that arrive every half a month to order equipment.
Hu Bin believed that sending Ted to further study was the top priority. He decided to build a pure cavalry legion with heroic knights as the core and mercenary cavalry as the supplement. However, his country's troops were exhausted due to this battle and were replaced by Hu Bin with a neutral mercenary with higher cost-effectiveness.
Jerzonra City was also renamed as Mercenary City by Hu Bin, and since then it has become a neutral camp base jointly managed by citizens and mercenaries from refugee origins, bounty hunters and chamber of commerce organizations. Relying on the influence of the Reed family and Hu Bin’s own large reputation, it is not a problem to coordinate these neutral organizations to develop the city together.
After receiving the news that the enemy had failed to siege the city, Sultan Hakim canceled his marching and arrived at Hu Bin's mercenary city at noon. Only one lord legion was left to defend the place and then rushed away from the city and marched northward. The defensive lines of Rodok, with a low morale, were almost collapsed, and the Sultan wanted to take this opportunity to rob it.
The declining Rodok could only guarantee the defensive forces of the fortress in the country, and could no longer gather a decent legion to stop Sarand's army. King Grefos placed all the troops that could be gathered in Turga and made his last effort to save Rodok's most prosperous city. This time, no Swadias came to help him, and the Coojis were teasing the nerves of the Swadias.
Gerry, who had been injured for a day, was trying hard to fill his stomach. Hu Bin, who had met him, was also hungry. He couldn't help but think of Ted who had been by his side. The ship that went to sea had already left the port earlier. I hope the supply on the ship was enough to squander that guy.
Hu Bin began to reflect on his attitude towards his subordinates. The followers are guards who are completely loyal to their masters and there is no problem of rebellion. However, the master was killed in the world or was disconnected from the master-slave contract. Followers will decide whether to surrender or continue to fight based on their morale. It can be foreseen that the return of Ted will become Hu Bin's biggest helper in the world, and even exceed Lorraine's importance.
Su Jia's quirky figure appeared in his sight, and Hu Bin stopped her and asked what kind of existence his followers were.
