Peasant women cook lunch.
The soldiers who participated in the battle also took advantage of this time to clean up the battlefield a little bit.
The main thing is to properly place the bodies of the dead.
However, as the defenders, the casualties of Kant's troops were obviously better than those of the siege gnolls.
Just outside the city wall on the east side, the flowing blood has already dyed the sand red, and under the sand dunes not far away, those corpses that were pierced with arrows or smashed with brains were neatly arranged.
More than half of the 3,000 elite Gnolls who came from the coast of Mannheim were killed, which was extremely tragic.
The gnolls who survived were all wounded.
But no one pities them.
As aggressors, these Jackals must have the consciousness to bear the defeat after they are defeated.
No food or water was sent up. Instead, the desert robbers brought flax rope, raised eyebrows, trembling, and tied their hands from the back.
Fatis not far away was still leading the cavalry, intimidating the captives to avoid accidents.
But there was no resistance.
These jackals were tied up as if they were really obedient.
These jackal expeditionary forces, who had not eaten for many days to replenish their physical strength and were extremely dehydrated, did not have any ability to resist.
When the flickering madness recedes.
Their condition is getting weaker and weaker.
It was so easy, and the desert robbers tied their backs one by one and drove the gnoll captives to the south of the city gate to stand still, because there, Jocelyn, the caravan leader from Zhiwading, He was looking at these lost wolf man prisoners with a smile on his face, and occasionally chatting with Manid next to him, and the two laughed more eagerly.
With the thousands of Gnoll captives he bought, the caravan leader Jocelyn could imagine how warmly he would be received by those nobles and iron mine owners when he returned to Zhiwading.
The Kingdom of Vikia is located in a snowy field, and the food output is less, so the population is smaller.
However, there are huge reserves of iron ore in the snowy plains. Baskets and baskets of high-quality iron ore can be excavated with a little mining.
This embarrasses the Kingdom of Vikia.
The population of my own kingdom is small, and in the cold weapon era of the Middle Ages, mining ore was a dangerous job. Ordinary Vikia civilians would not go to work at all, and there was no better choice than buying captives to become slaves for mining.
And the main economic pillar of the Vikia Kingdom is precisely these high-quality iron ore.
In order to mine a large amount of ore and smelt it into iron ingots, the Vikia Kingdom buys a large number of slaves almost every year.
You can say that.
Part of the slave trade on the Calradia continent was fueled by the Kingdom of Vikia.
There is now a new source of slaves for the Kingdom of Vekia.
It is the Lord Kant in the land of miracles. As long as there are enough dinars, those gnoll miners who are better than human miners, as long as they have been trained, rest for a while, and are well-tuned, they are completely the best miners. They are strong, know how to order, and can mine day and night with a full stomach. They are very popular among mine owners.
Of course, Kant also welcomes this.
These mine owners of the Vikia kingdom are his big customers, otherwise the steady stream of dinars would not have appeared in his pocket so easily and become a booster for the upgrade of "Drehem".
Good news for everyone.
Just inside and outside the city wall, everyone is still busy.
The feeling of hatred and hatred disappeared.
But there is no excitement of the winner, but a touch of sadness.
The familiar faces in the past turned pale in this battle, lying on the sand, covered by white linen, and became memories that only existed in everyone's impressions.
They are the well-deserved warriors who guard the fortress, and they are also the heroes who stick to the defense line to the end.
Facing the powerful melee fighting ability of the wolf man.
In fact, even the bodies of these dead soldiers were somewhat mutilated.
The peasant women who were in charge of arranging their appearance had red eye circles when they restrained the corpses of the dead. Even if they had seen too many civilians who were alive and dead, such a tragic battle and such terrible wounds, in the continent of Calradia, apart from the kingdom and the Outside of a large-scale decisive battle between kingdoms, it is rare to see such a tragic situation.
Large quantities of linen were purchased at the Zhivadin caravan for this reason.
Although they are dead.
But Kant, as a lord, would never forget their contributions.
Although they have died in battle, they can use a towel to wipe off the blood on their faces, use white linen as a shroud, and give them respect and glory after death, which can be regarded as compensation afterwards.
It is also an inspiration to the soldiers who survived.
Lord Kant will not forget anyone.
... ... ...
The sun rose to the middle of the sky.
The temperature in the Nalun Desert suddenly increased, forming a billowing heat wave that spread across the entire desert.
at noon.
The sentry oasis, the battlefield has basically been cleaned.
All the corpses were separated and piled up to facilitate the counting after the war.
The blood-stained ground inside and outside the city wall attic and the city gate, which was the main battlefield, was also splashed and washed by careful militiamen with clean water, which restored the color of the original yellow-orange sand, and the strong bloody smell became lighter.
Basically finished.
The peasant women also came over and called to the resting soldiers to have dinner.
In the kitchen next to the governing hall, buckets of lunch have been prepared, steaming hot and fragrant.
Because it was rushed out, it is no different from the previous food.
But many soldiers who ate in batches also had expectations on their faces, because they saw in the kitchen that the batch of desert antelopes hunted at the end of the month yesterday had been dragged out and hung on the wall, 10 of which were under the kitchen knives in the hands of the peasant women. Quickly split and peeled, and disemboweled and pulled out the internal organs, it seemed that they were preparing for the celebration banquet at night.
There are also barrels of malt wine, which are launched by the Zhiwading caravan stationed in the grocery store. Obviously, these delicious malt wines that can intoxicate the nerves are absolutely indispensable at the celebration banquet tonight.
This brought joy to the faces of the soldiers who had survived the fierce battle and won the battle.
Lunch is eaten in batches.
In the governing hall, Kant sat in his seat.
On the opposite sides of the long table were Fatis and Manid who had finished their work, and the caravan leader Jocelyn.
It's lunch time.
It was also the time for the two to report the results to Kant.
Since it was not a secret matter, the caravan leader Jocelyn did not avoid suspicion and left. Moreover, for Kant, this businessman from the Calradia continent of the system can be regarded as half of his own. At least he will not secretly collude with the world. The natives would not betray Kant and sell vital supplies.
The four of them ate food first. After all, because of this battle, they hadn't had breakfast yet.
After half full.
"Well, it's almost enough to eat." Kant wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "Who will tell us how our victories are?" Looking at Fatis and Manid, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This battle I am still looking forward to the results.”
"I'll go first." Manid nodded slightly, stood up and saluted respectfully.
Organized the language, his voice was full of pride: "Master Kant, this battle is an epic victory in my opinion. We captured 1432 jackals, at 50 dinars per person Calculated, we received a total of 71,600 dinars, and to be honest, in my opinion, this is also a huge sum of money that anyone should be tempted by."
"Of course." Kant nodded with a bright smile on his lips.
When those gnolls were captured and escorted to the caravan's carriage, he already knew the specific amount of the money, and the huge sum of 71,600 dinars had been mixed with the balance of the deposit and turned into a more terrifying number.
[Deposit: 149130 dinars]
The difference is less than 1,000 dinars, and Kant's deposit will break into 150,000.
On the continent of Calradia.
Can open 15 of the most expensive and popular velvet dye factories in any town.
If this still cannot prove the value of this huge sum of money, then it is converted into the cavalry pillar of the Kingdom of Swadia, those level 4 armored heavy cavalry, Swadia heavy cavalry, and the maintenance cost of 5,000 people for a week.
And just this week.
These troops are purely armored heavy cavalry, let alone Calradia.
Even on Earth.
On the battlefield of any era other than modern times, in the field battles of ancient and modern China and foreign countries, these 5,000 Swadian heavy cavalry are enough to become the main force to completely defeat the enemy's regiment, breaking the enemy's formation like a torrent.
Because these 5,000 frontal charges can be called invincible heavy cavalry.
Even infantry with a number of 100,000 could not defend, and would be directly crushed by the raging torrent until the formation collapsed.
The smile on the corner of Kant's mouth became brighter and brighter.
Just thinking about it in his head was a wonderful moment for him.
For this reason, he looked at Jocelyn, the leader of the caravan, and said with a smile on his face: "I will hold a celebration banquet tonight, I hope you brought enough malt wine this time, this time I will let the soldiers let go .”
"Totally enough." Jocelyn nodded affirmatively.
"Very good." Kant smiled broadly.
Nothing soothes the minds of post-war soldiers like alcohol.
If it is the practice of the Calradia continent, not only will there be alcohol, but also a dinar as a reward for these brave men, but most of the time, it is thrown into the hands of the tavern owner and the prostitutes who are in vain. In the chest of the lord, it was returned to the lord's treasury because of the lord's miscellaneous taxes.
Of course, Kant also handed over these purchase matters to Manid.
But Kant turned his head and saw the seriousness on Fatis' face.
He also frowned slightly, followed by Fatis, who reported the damage of this battle.
