It only took one day and one night for Major Leedfunk and his party to arrive at Squirrel Village. At this time, Claude had just managed to settle the prisoners and make a tally of the captured materials in the allied camps of nobles from the two principalities. There are still many things to do next, the camp needs to be demolished, the traps on the mountain road need to be filled in, the Squirrel Village has not been cleaned up yet, so many corpses and remains need to be buried, it gives me a headache just thinking about it.
Claude was overjoyed when he saw the arrival of Major Leedfunk. He directly handed over all the following matters to him, went back to his room and took a deep sleep behind closed doors. Seeing Claude's red eyes and haggard face, Major Liederfunk was considerate of the hardships of going through this war and directly ordered all the soldiers who participated in the battle to take a good rest. The squadron he brought with him was in charge.
Young is good. Claude slept for fourteen hours before getting up. The fatigue accumulated from the war was swept away and he became energetic again. After going downstairs, he saw Major Ledfunk and several officers from the battalion headquarters sitting at the dining table in the hall, checking the list of supplies seized from the enemy camp. He said hello and went into the kitchen to get something to fill his stomach. I washed my face and rinsed my mouth by the way, and then came out to see the harvest results.
Unfortunately, although a lot of supplies were seized, they were not very valuable. Most of them were grain, grass and ammunition. The problem is that these grains and grasses are provided by the territorial nobles to their private soldiers and conscripted citizens. Most of them are rough grains, and the territorial nobles do not use much for their own use. As for the ammunition, it was far from the standard of the Ovelas Kingdom's military command, and it was not even worth the consumption of Claude's side in this battle.
There is not much cash, only a box of copper coins and a small bag of silver coins, which are the coins used by the Eskiline Principality, and their value is only about twenty or thirty gold crowns. Major Leedfunk estimated that this money should be used to reward those who were recruited by the nobles of the Principality of Karnas. After all, the territorial nobles of the two principalities wanted to plunder the three southern counties, not do business. Therefore, although there are many troops this time, they will not carry too much money.
The most valuable items captured were the tents in the camp, especially the tents used by the territorial nobles themselves. Most of them were made of high-grade cow and sheep skins, with golden patterns and family crests of the territorial nobles on them. However, these tents must be turned in as proof of military exploits, otherwise it would be quite comfortable to keep them for your own use.
Major Leedfunk pointed to a corner of the hall: "Take two bottles for yourself. You can also choose other items to keep as a souvenir of this war. These are all collected from the tents of the territorial nobles. It can be said that This is the most valuable part of the loot captured this time.”
Claude turned around and saw that there were four or five boxes of good wine there. They were all wines that the nobles of the territory carried with them to enjoy along the way. There were only more than a hundred bottles in total. Next to it were the swords, clothes, gold and silver wine bottles and other souvenirs left by the territorial nobles in the tent. Generally, officers and soldiers are allowed to keep such things privately as war commemorations. Anyway, if they are handed in, they won't be worth much of their merits, so most of them end up being thrown into the warehouse.
Claude chose two bottles of white wine and picked up a gorgeous dagger. This dagger should be a magic item. He secretly cast an Exploring Eye and could see that there was a layer of silver on the dagger. light. Claude thought that the dagger should have a sharp effect on it, so he lightly stabbed the wooden pillar next to it. Sure enough, half of the sword blade penetrated the wooden pillar easily.
"You will write a report on the process of this battle in the past two days, and we will check it one by one." Major Leedfunk said to Claude seriously: "Write it in as much detail as possible, about what you have arranged. How the trap and fire strategies were considered must be clearly stated. After all, this victory was so unbelievable. More than 5,000 enemies faced more than 170 people, and they were defeated and annihilated with minor casualties. We have paid more than 4,000 people, and it is hard for people to believe this kind of military exploits. So we must prove and implement this military exploits, and work hard to make it so that people can’t find any faults."
"Yes, I understand." Claude nodded.
Major Leedfunk was busy in Squirrel Village for a week. He ordered the prisoners and soldiers to clean up 2,564 enemy corpses and remains from the ashes of Squirrel Village, dug pits, filled them, marked them, and then brought them with him. He led the prisoners to eliminate the enemies that Claude and others killed on the defensive position on the mountain behind Squirrel Village and at the bends of the mountain road.
