Lord Harland.

Chapter 170: A Short Rest
After this incident happened, Li Cha felt awkward when he met Baron Sharp again.

However, he didn't mention yesterday's incident. After the wounded soldiers were settled, Richard led the army back to Fort Vic, where he rested for a few days.

In the past two days, Li Cha recruited [-] young men from the leaders to replenish the war damage.

Then from the squadrons with less casualties, a group of backbones were drawn to supplement the first, second, and monster cavalry squadrons.

Due to the serious injury of Martin, the captain of the first squadron, and the death of Heyman, the captain of the second squadron, Richard appointed Lost, the captain of the ninth squadron, to take up the post in the first squadron, and acted as the captain of the squadron for a while. Captain of the Second Squadron.

Jennings was as old as Richard, and had already served as the captain of the main squadron, which showed his talent.

For the captured orc slaves, Richard still let Bernard manage them, the goatmen were handed over to the sheep-body slave tribe in the territory, and the remaining orcs were sent to the mine.

This time the orcs invaded, Li Cha ordered the massacre of many kobolds, and the number of kobolds in the mine was less than half of the original number.

This time I sent a few hundred, just enough to make up for the shortfall.

For the more than 6000 people rescued, Richard asked them to sign a five-year contract with the territory, and allocated a large area near Sophia Castle to reclaim farmland.

Counting this group of people, the population controlled by the Harland family has exceeded [-].

After defeating the orc Maluland, the population resources were swallowed by Richard, and the gold coins and iron materials seized were distributed to several barons.

Now it is a state of war. Although Baron Rice and others want to divide the population, they dare not offend Richard.

Now if Qiang stands out and let Li Cha watch him, he may be assigned a dangerous task during the war.

Look at Baron Dirham, who brought guards to fight the orcs. Because there is no direct protection from the troops, the lord and guards have all been killed and injured.

In fact, if Richard had taken care of Baron Dirham at that time, he could have stayed in the camp.

But Li Cha asked him to fulfill his noble duties and lead troops to fight against the orcs.

This order will kill Baron Dirham.

Baron Dirham had only a dozen guards and two first-tier fighters.

With such strength, he participated in the decisive battle with the main force of the orcs.

Soon the guards were consumed by the orcs, and Baron Dirham was also killed by the orcs. The gorgeous enchanted armor on his body also made a small officer of the Warcraft Cavalry Squadron cheaper after cleaning the battlefield.

The Dirham family was unlucky. The last time the orcs invaded, many members of the family died, and the population accumulated over the years was also plundered by the orcs.

Although Richard snatched back this part of the population from the orcs, it is impossible to hand it over to the Dirham family.

The Dirham family also had no strength, and asked several nearby nobles to hand over the annexed population.

Sophia couldn't let Baron Harden return the population back then, and the new Baron Dirham couldn't do the same.

After the war, Baron Dirham's son managed the territory almost from scratch.

After three years, it managed to accumulate more than 2000 people, and the war started again.

Although the orcs did not invade the territory this time, the baron was killed in battle.

The two generations of barons of the Dirham family died only three years apart.

The four hundred young men led by Baron Dirham were also annexed by the coalition forces of the nobles of Heihe County to make up for the battle damage.

suffered a major blow for three consecutive years.

If the members of the Dirham family were not ambitious and fearful of death, they might give up the right to inherit the territory.

After all, there is no great strength, no large amount of money.It is very dangerous to operate a territory in the northern Xinjiang region.

Even a big man like Earl Martins died, not to mention the small Dirham family.

After the complete annihilation of the Marurand Department, the situation in Gerda Province immediately changed.

The three armies of the orcs had been wiped out, and the Harland family and the Heihe county nobles' coalition forces were free.

This force of more than [-] soldiers is a heavy weight on any battlefield.

Before leaving for the expedition, Li Cha told Sophia the information he had collected.

Seeing Sophia showing a strange face, Li Cha asked suspiciously: "Earl Martins didn't offend you, right? Why do you feel gloating about your misfortune?"

Sophia said with a bit of playfulness on her face, "Earl Martins did not offend me, but he has plans to marry you.

His daughter is at least half of my rival in love. Now that Earl Martins' daughter died at the hands of the orcs, I feel a little happy, why?
Is your sympathy too overwhelming?

Do you still care about the safety of your old lover?Want to marry the count's daughter? "

"I told you a long time ago that I have never met Earl Martins' daughter. Why do you keep pestering this?"

"Is Count Martins' daughter ugly?"

"According to my father, the earl's daughter is a famous beauty. You know her father's vision, and she is very picky. I think Mrs. Ola and Miss Kelly's looks are better than yours."

Hearing these words, Sophia immediately lowered her face.

Seeing that Sophia wanted to quarrel, Richard waved his hand and explained: "Okay, I'm not joking. I'm not sympathetic, but the rise and fall of the Earl of Martins is closely related to us.

The first father bought [-] gold coins for the development bonds of Earl Martins' territory. Now that Earl Martins died in battle, the bonds will become worthless and completely default.

The better the Second Earl of Martins, the safer the Fortress of Fire and the Duke of Edward.

Now that the Earl of Martins has fallen, Flame Castle has lost its buffer and has once again become the front line.Compared with three years ago, Grant Kingdom's strategic situation in the northern border has become even worse.The Earl of Martins fell, and our pressure increased. After the war, we must expand our army, which will affect the development of the territory. "

"This time, I will be by your side."

"You know, fighting is too dangerous. I don't let you follow, it's for your safety."

"If I don't follow you, who knows if your soul will be snatched away by a wild woman. It's just that the man I'm looking for is too good, and he attracts bees and butterflies wherever he goes."

"What attracts others? Sophia, please believe me, I am loyal to you!"

"Did Baron Sharp arrange for a beauty to be delivered to your bedside?"

"How do you know about the military affairs? Did you send someone to monitor me?"

"It was Uncle Vito who saw it, and he told me. He also asked me to serve you some snacks, so he could keep an eye on you." Vito is Sophia's cousin, the leader of the Fifth Squadron, and Li Cha's personal soldier Among them is Vito's son.

"I don't agree with you going to the front line to take risks?"

"Li Cha, if you can withstand the dangers of war, so can I. I am a magician with five rings, you can trust my ability, and I will protect myself on the battlefield."
