The mighty lord of online games

Chapter 355 After the War
After cleaning the battlefield, Zhang Qiang felt like crying when he saw more than 100 wounded and only about 50 combat troops left.

I wanted to catch one or two lords of Salander and complete the task of raising the title that the old guy Harlaus entrusted to me.

Unexpectedly, he plunged into the ambush circle of the Salander army.

Lesarit struggled to support his tired body, and reported the gains and losses of this battle to Zhang Qiang.

"My lord, this time we have a total of 410 people. There are currently 57 people left in the battle. [-] people died in battle, and [-] people were seriously injured. Even James Knight was seriously injured. Therefore, our wounded There will be no medical treatment, we don't have the logistics troops with the military merchants, so I estimate that before we reach Suno City, there will be serious casualties and deaths, maybe we will be able to recover to a combat strength of [-] to [-] by then Even if it is good, many of the seriously wounded will die during the march because they cannot receive timely treatment."

Zhang Qiang closed his eyes.

This time it was a big miscalculation, but there were a lot of benefits, at least, the title of the fourth-class baron would definitely be obtained by himself.

Seeing Zhang Qiang close his eyes, Lesarite stopped, saw him open his eyes, and continued to report, "In addition, many of our current standing people are seriously injured. I guess the current combat strength is not as good as that of a caravan. Therefore, we should enter Su Nuo City as soon as possible."

Zhang Qiang nodded.

There is no doubt that I have to run quickly.

Manid looked at the equipment all over the floor, and said reluctantly: "My lord, it's all money. Let's clean it up. At least it can sell hundreds of thousands of gold coins. That's my annual trade volume. That's our A month or two of military spending."

Zhang Qiang shook his head, and Lesarit continued: "We have packed up some high-value equipment, which is estimated to be worth more than one hundred thousand gold coins. In addition, we have captured more than 2000 prisoners this time. Well, although we The captive management ability is not very high. Dozens of people have to take care of 800 captives, which is really troublesome. However, if you support Sunuo City, I think there will be at least [-] captives left. This is estimated to be hundreds of thousands of gold coins. Earned. The big money maker is still a prisoner."

"Hahaha," a group of people laughed.

Obviously very happy, who doesn't like money, even NPCs.

"In addition, we have also captured more than a dozen lords of the Kingdom of Sarande, ranging from baron to earl. I am afraid that Sultan Hakim will pay a large ransom for this."

Rolf laughed, "Sultan Hakim, haha, he was also captured by us. It seems that we may have to ask the nobles in his country for the ransom. I don't know how much they are willing to pay to redeem their king. .”

Manid stroked the beard on his chin, "Sultan Hakim, I heard that some nobles in his country still continue to support the former Sultan's wife, Awar."

Yatiman asked puzzledly, "Avar?"

Manid looked at Yatiman's puzzled look, and said contemptuously: "Avar, you don't even know, Avar, the Pearl of Light, is the wife of the former Sultan Baibak. He inherited the position of Sultan, but Hakim Sultan, a great nobleman, finally got the support of other nobles, exiled Avar, and became the king of the Kingdom of Sarande. But Baibak was a former Sultan after all, so his supporters There are still quite a few. As the heir chosen by Baibak, she has also won their allegiance. Now that Sultan Hakim is gone and captured, the Kingdom of Sarande will be in chaos in a few days. Maybe Avar He will make a high-profile appearance in Salander and announce that he will regain the throne."

"Then we didn't help that Avar in a disguised form?" Yatiman said.

Manid said: "There is a possibility, but isn't this what the Kingdom of Swadia needs? The civil strife in the Kingdom of Sarande is the time for us to take the opportunity to expand the advantages of our Kingdom of Swadia."

Ramosun shook his head, "That's not possible, because we are fighting against Rhodoks now, and the Rhodoks army is gathering and wandering nearby. I think that as long as Harlaus is not so stupid that he has no bottom line, then they will use this Opportunity to truce with the Kingdom of Salander, or sign a peace agreement, truce, maybe war will start again in the next war cycle, peace agreement, there must be an excuse for war. If there is no excuse for war, maybe it will not happen in a year or two years In a fight, both sides will take this opportunity to resolve conflicts with other countries, and the solution to conflicts is nothing more than launching wars against other countries, which is the consistent practice of the Calradia continent."

Lesarit said: "That's just right, the army of Salander came from the desert, so many troops went on an expedition, and they were also in a state of war with the Kingdom of Rhodoks. This time we captured Sultan Hakim again. He only needs one day If they did not pass back their release or reach a peace agreement with the Kingdom of Swadia, their country would suffer from the two major problems of civil strife and attack by foreign enemies. Based on this, I think, Hakim Sultan, may regret the same We fought.

What he is thinking now must be how to return to the Kingdom of Sarande with the defeated army as soon as possible to solve his worries. In this way, the Kingdom of Swadia will lose one opponent, and the Kingdom of Rhodok will have one more opponent. "

Zhang Qiang groaned, carefully weighing the words of his subordinates. Although the decisive battle with the Salander army caused him heavy losses, as long as his territory is still there, the [-] billion funds in the territory can help him quickly rebuild the army. But if there is a grudge with Salander this time, after Sultan Hakim solves the kingdom's problems, and the next war starts, his territory will be next to Lana and Halma City, and after leaving the Miyeburg Pass, his own territory will be Under their eyes, the Kingdom of Sarande is still at war with the Kingdom of Kujit. They have already occupied the city of Halma and besieged Lana. Maybe Lana will be taken back by Kujit, but after all, Halma left His own territory is too close. The Kujit Kingdom suffered heavy losses in the last war with the Swadia Kingdom, and it is impossible to regain it. They need to accumulate strength, so easing relations with the Sarande Kingdom is the most important thing for him at present. Things, so this time I can't offend them severely, after all, I'm just a baron lord.

There is no city to stand on, and the potential of a village is pitifully small, unable to stand against a kingdom.

Thinking of this, he has already made up his mind.

He said to Lesarit: "Go and bring all the captive lords here, no, come one by one."

By talking to the captured lords of Salander, Zhang Qiang tested their behavior, and left four scum lords to hand over to King Harlaus, and released the others.

This allowed him to gain the favor of many lords of the Kingdom of Sarande. When it was finally time to talk to Sultan Hakim, Zhang Qiang still had a lot of emotion for this old man.

Hakim Sultan looked at this guy expressionlessly, and Zhang Qiang was embarrassed by him.

Touching his nose, he said, "Honorable Sultan, what do you think about being captured by me?"

Hakim Sultan turned his head away, and said unhappily: "I wanted to ambush the army of the Rhodok Kingdom, but I didn't expect you to follow us like a follower. We wanted to solve your problem first. In our opinion , You and we will eat it in less than half an hour, then clean up the battlefield, continue to use bait to attract the Rhodok lords, and solve them one by one, I didn't expect..." He shook his head.

The heroes and entourage around Zhang Qiang looked at each other in blank dismay. It turned out that we are not the right masters of the people. This battle was wronged, and so many troops acquired by spending money and favors were wasted in vain.

Zhang Qiang also felt the same way.
