The elite Golden King Tiger Guard, among the elite of the Odin Empire, had been completely drawn out at this moment, and walked around the retreating tribe.
If the Broken-mouthed Blood Cavalry strikes, it will inevitably take a wave of toughness.
If it is normal, the Broken-mouthed Blood Cavalry is absolutely not afraid to fight tough battles, even if it is known as the Golden King Tiger Guard established against them.
But after months of continuous fierce fighting and running around, when people are tired and tired, they don't need to find this uncomfortable.
Although the Golden King Tiger Guard has been wandering around the battlefield, he exists as a war supervising or threatening force, and has not been involved in a battle from beginning to end.
When the West Odin Empire had sufficient manpower, how could it be willing to put its talents into this kind of siege attrition.
According to incomplete statistics after the war, the West Odin Empire killed more than 150,000 people in this full-scale offensive. The wounded were not among them. According to the current medical conditions of the West Odin Empire, there will be tens of thousands of people because of injuries. One after another died on the retreat.
This number sounds quite terrifying, but in fact, the overall impact on the Western Odin Empire is not particularly large.
Because of these 150,000, nearly two-thirds were driven out of the East Odin Empire herdsmen.
Even if this kind of people are of the same race, in the eyes of the rulers of the Western Odin Empire, they do not belong to human beings, they are just a group of walking wealth.
Even if they didn't crash and die on the broken pulse line of defense, many of them couldn't make it through on the way back to the Miracle Peninsula.
The number of Odin orcs who were scattered by the broken blood ride and driven back to the grassland is estimated to be the same.
Most of them will re-attach to various tribes, big and small, and become part of the West Odin Empire again. When the West Odin Empire next invades south, they will be a potential source of troops.
This battle is not at all good for the Siodin Empire, and that is to use blood and fire to temper those miscellaneous cannon fodder.
A large number of daring warriors spewed out of it, and they will be absorbed into the ruling class of the Western Odin Empire to prepare for the future swallowing of the entire Odin prairie.
On the Broken Pulse Line of Defense, a total of more than 12,000 people were killed, more than 10,000 injured, more than 40,000 barrels of black powder barrels, more than 2 million various arrows, and more than 20 fortresses. Degree of damage.
This shows how much pressure the West Odin Empire brought to the Broken Pulse Defense Line this time.
If it hadn't been for the new weapons produced by the Yongye Army, the troop wave that swept Ulaanbaari this time might have directly smashed the entire Asaan continent and took the opportunity to dominate the world.
It is by no means a wonderful thing to make the nomads powerful.
What they bring to the whole world is always conquering and killing.
At least for a short time.
This is doomed by the culture they inherited. They are nomads with a desire to conquer in their bones, and what they do best is herding.
When the time comes, their grazing objects have changed from cattle and sheep to humans.
Although the war is over, there is still a series of follow-up work to be done in the Blood Fortress.
The corpses on and off the defensive line need to be disposed of, whether it’s from Broken Vessel soldiers or Odin orcs. This is the first priority. The weather is getting hotter and hotter. If they are not burned and buried as soon as possible, once the plague rages, it will sweep the entire Broken Vein. Line of defense.
When Odin orcs come to attack next time, they can still defend on the wall. I don't know how many are left.
Obviously it was too late to burn them all, most of them were digging pits and burying them on a large scale.
Then there is to treat the wounded and repair the city.
As for restarting border trade, don't think about it for a while.
After knowing that the small tribes in the border area traded aggressively with the Byron Alliance, Ulaanbaaji once became furious.
Those small tribes and ordinary herders do not know the huge profits in this kind of border trade. As the ruler of the Western Odin Empire, how can he not know?
The Broken Pulse Line of Defense can be changed on a large scale in a short period of time, and border trade is indispensable.
Previously, he fought the East Odin Empire and had no time to take care of it.
Now it’s time to take the time to remediate on a large scale.
First, a harsh law was issued, prohibiting trade between the Odin orc herders and the Byrons without authorization.
Secondly, they recruited elites and set up several border patrol forces to prevent these herders from violating his orders.
Although this approach treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, there is no way to prevent those Odin orcs from demanding various living supplies.
However, it will be impossible for the border trade to unscrupulously expand and reap huge profits as before.
Grand Duke Cedric had already tasted the sweetness of trade, and he wanted to restore him to the previous look and mood of those nobles and nobles. Obviously, he couldn't bear it.
Border trade has temporarily shrunk, but the internal market of the Byron Alliance has shown a prosperous state.
After all, it is not only Fractured Blood Fort who tasted the sweetness, but also the merchants.
During the battle between Broken Pulse Defensive Line and Odin orcs, they were not idle either.
Part of it turned to explore the internal market of the Byron Alliance.
Some of them continue to run towards the broken line of defense, transporting various military supplies to support the frontline war.
Most of these materials are half-sold and half-delivered to obtain preemptive rights.
Priority to purchase special products produced during the war-Odin orc captives.
Although the Byron Alliance abolished slavery decades ago.
But this is only for the Byrons themselves, not including the Odin orcs.
It is not uncommon that serfdom still continues in some of the more remote manors.
Because of the ban on slavery, they have lost the source of serfs and have a lot of gaps. Now that they have such a good opportunity, they will naturally blatantly eat.
In this regard, the mine slave owners led by the Carter army are always the biggest buyers.
As the commercial market within the Byron Alliance became prosperous, those bandits who wanted to get something for nothing became active.
This in turn stimulated the demand for mercenaries from those businessmen.
During the trial operation last year, retired soldiers from Broken Blood Castle had established a good reputation in this industry.
This time, Grand Duke Cedric even mobilized his newly established private military staff to conduct semi-official operations.
Good luck at that time, it is not a strange thing to hire from the inside to the real broken blood rider.
Due to the formalization of the mercenary industry, it is not simply businessmen who start to hire them.
Some local nobles and nobles also began to pay them to hire them to carry out some tasks of suppressing bandits.
It is not only the merchants who have tasted the sweetness of commerce, but also the local lords.
In addition to geographical conditions, a good public security environment is also an excellent condition to attract businessmen.
Compared to sending people to suppress the bandits, it is far less trouble-free than hiring regular troops from the Broken Line of Defense, which is safe and efficient.
For these bandit suppression tasks, Broken Blood Castle usually attaches great importance to it. Not only does it send elite soldiers, the asking price is usually not particularly high.
The reason why Broken Blood Castle did so was of course not because they regarded themselves as justice messengers for the peace of the alliance, but because they found other interests in it.
Compared with the hire money, if you can directly destroy these bandits' lair, you can still find a lot of loot from it, and this can go directly into their waist pockets.
Even if the bandits themselves didn't hoard any wealth, if they were captured alive, it would also be a wealth for Fracture Blood Castle.
Their source of troops has always been a big problem, especially in such a super large battle, after a large number of casualties, a large number of soldiers are urgently needed to supplement.
In the past, they passively waited for other nobles to send them to their side.
This time they took the opportunity to capture it themselves.
Of course, out of respect for the local lord and nobles, these bandits are usually handed over to them for trial first.
If the crime is serious, it will be sent directly to the border, and mercenaries from Broken Blood Fort will be escorted away.
If the culpability is light, it will be handed over to the local lord and nobles to dispose of it. It is only in terms of hire money that will be further added.
Having said that, it is worthwhile for those local lord nobles to spend money to hire regular soldiers in the Blood Fortress.
Most of them are the wicked people, and Broken Blood Castle is willing to accept them. Most local lord nobles don't mind, and even welcome them.
Otherwise, it will be handed over to them, and most of them will be on the gallows.
If they spend money on a corpse, they will not do this kind of loss-making business.
All of a sudden, the mercenary industry in Broken Blood Fort was booming.
The big and small bandits of the Byron Alliance were at risk one by one.
Either Jinpen washes your hands, and becomes an honest and obedient citizen in anonymity, and never dares to emerge easily.
Either it is to travel far away, such as joining the pirate business of the Commons family, where the blood fort can't reach.
Either simply pack it up and go directly to the blood fort.
Anyway, you won't be able to escape Rong's life sooner or later. Rather than being caught, it is better to defect by yourself, and you will get a little better treatment then.
Those bandits who were forcibly captured, I heard that the life in the first few years was not very good. Not only did they have to undergo the most painful training, but they also had to perform the most dangerous tasks, in order to wipe away the banditry from them, They transformed into real soldiers.
The war that has just occurred on the Broken Pulse Defense Line, although it has not happened in a century.
However, within the Byron Alliance, the impact in a short period of time is still relatively limited-because the Strech family repelled the offending enemy.
When will the broken pulse line of defense fall, then the world will shake.
This is a very ironic thing.
What has really attracted much attention this year is that Prince Laurie of the Lancelot royal family has officially taken over the throne at the age of eighteen.
Sophie Liya, the regent princess who has been regent for nearly seventeen years, officially resigned as the regent princess.
All the nobles and nobles of the Byron Alliance went to the royal capital of Valesta to prepare for this unprecedented event.
Earl Sean, the supreme ruler of the Evernight Army, was no exception. On the eve of Prince Laurie's enthronement, he personally led a fleet of a large number of merchant ships to the royal capital Valesta. For the first time, this time it was three times larger.
Because this time Sean went to the royal capital Valesta, there was another task-to marry Princess Sophia.
Although this matter is firmly established, the process that should be followed must be followed.
This is a matter of the royal family and Princess Sophia’s own face.
Of course, the result of doing this is to further confirm the name of Sean's nouveau riche.
It was just that the fleet led by the Yongye Army was stopped 50 kilometers away from the royal capital Valesta.
"We are the fleet led by the Eternal Night Army, ready to go to the king's capital to present His Royal Highness Laurie's enthronement ceremony. This is a pass issued by Her Royal Highness." Marshal Woody personally intervened.
The Yongye Army leader is not only equipped with luxurious equipment, but also has a not low built-in grade.
The team who personally led the team was the supreme commander of the Shuangjiang Navy.
For the lord guards, Marshal Herbert, who served as the deputy commander of the Fourth Army, led the team.
"I'm sorry, your Royal Highness, she has officially resigned from her post as the regent a week ago. The relevant documents issued by him have all expired. The security work of the royal capital is taken over by our guardian army to ensure the success of the ceremony. Proceed, all large fleets are not allowed to approach the capital for 50 kilometers." The fleet commander who stopped the fleet leader of the Yongye Army was not humble and did not mean to let go.
"Can you be accommodating? You see, we are all merchant ships, with only two warships, and they are still full of cargo." Marshal Woody accompanied a smile, not so much as a soldier, as if he looked like a merchant merchant. a little more.
The Shuangjiang Marine Army basically has no combat missions. Most of the time, they are escorting the merchant ships led by the Yongye Army to keep the river unobstructed. Woody is naturally familiar with the many doorways inside.
"No, the order we got was that no more than three large fleets are allowed to pass, let alone warships near the waters near the royal capital." The commander of the Baowang fleet replied expressionlessly, as if it were business affairs.
"Woody, don't make it difficult for this brother. Split the cargo on the ship. If you can use a small boat, you can use a small boat. If you can't use a small boat, you should go to the nearest port and take land transportation. It must be reasonable and legal." Xiao En, who was in the team, took the initiative to come forward.
"Yes, Lord Lord." Marshal Woody bowed.
Wait until the commander of the Royal Fleet named Nelson is sent away.
Marshal Woody asked with some confusion: "Lord Lord knows that the other party is deliberately making things difficult for us, why do we follow their wishes?"
Although the Jacob River has become more and more prosperous in the past few years, a large number of merchant ships of various colors are launched every year, and it is no longer the case where the tripartite alliance was the only one.
But when it comes to large fleets, there are still few forces that can match the leader of Yongye.
They set up a card to intercept here, obviously they are here.
"Valesta is going to change the sky. This will be the norm in the future, so get used to it slowly." Shaun said meaningfully, "This is not for us, we are just incidental."
Marshal Woody didn't have any political gaze. Hearing Sean's words, he said thoughtfully: "Are they guarding the princess's fleet and her related allies?"
"The power is something that can make an originally pure person no longer pure, especially when it is mixed with countless other interests." Xiao En couldn't help sighing.
I have long heard that the Lancelot royal family's conflicts between the princess faction and the king's guardian faction have become increasingly acute in the recent period, but they did not expect the sword to be so tense.
Even though Princess Sophie Liya has shown her nonchalant attitude among her opponents~EbookFREE.me~, she can't hold back others from not believing.
When the power of the Baowang faction becomes stronger, it will naturally be like an anti-thief, guard against Princess Sophia, to prevent her from repenting suddenly.
The Yongye Army led this kind of princess line, naturally, it will be implicated.
"Send the letter to Marshall, our various businesses in Valesta are temporarily in a state of contraction and maintenance. Don't conflict with the guardian. Everything is based on patience." Shaun issued the latest strategic task, "At the same time, we will notify The president of the Valesta Chamber of Commerce said, let them pay attention not to be easily involved in this kind of rights dispute, a little carelessness, it will be forever, and then it will be difficult for me to protect them."
Marshal Woody said with a smile: "Lord Lords don't need to worry about them. These people from the bottom have a keen sense of smell. They are all monkeys and monkeys, afraid that their family will have a big business and will provoke too many people in the capital. Jealous, so their main force has been withdrawn from the royal capital one after another and moved to the surrounding sub-cities, leaving only a small part in the royal capital Valesta. Even if something really happened in the royal capital, It can't hurt their roots."
"Everyone has their own way of survival. They have been struggling to survive for so many years at the bottom. It is not pure luck." Xiao En nodded and said, "I'll leave it to you here. I want to go ahead and go to the capital."
