Chapter 54 Ceasefire

Three hours later, the bloody eastern leader was hit under the city wall on the south side of Huangshi City, and finally lost the confidence to take down the city. It was really difficult for them to attack a city with 40,000 infantry and more than 20,000 cavalry who could not climb the city wall.

When the magic fog over the deserted stone city dissipated and the night was melting into the earth, the army led by Carsonte in the south of the city finally began to retreat. If it weren't for the news from the north gate, I hope they would hold on for a while, Carsonte would have ordered the army to retreat half an hour ago. In the hearts of the Eastern Leaders, all this was Sack's attempt to rescue the two elite heavy cavalry brigades that he was trapped in the city and the personal guards of his 1 brigade.

In this service, the eastern corps lost nearly 20,000 infantry and countless wounded. The defenders of the Huangshi City also paid nearly 30,000 soldiers' lives, nearly half of which were lost under the strong magic of the magicians. However, the eastern corps did not know that the army they faced was a defensive force composed of all the well-trained soldiers in the entire Huangshi City and the strongest civilians in the city. In the north of the city, all the soldiers were just some old, weak, sick and disabled. In addition to confusing the generals of the eastern corps, the greatest role was that Hegma hoped that the nobles in the city could not find the truth...

"Hahaha... I didn't expect that you, a kid, was so despicable. It didn't count the robbery of those Hegmas, and even all the nobles nearby robbed them together. How about it? I got a lot of money? I heard that these information were all questioned by the captured Senke Federal officers. No wonder you went to interrogate the captives that day." After hearing the report from my guards and his subordinates, Bavel smiled.

"Report to two adults. We snatched the residences of 74 nobles and wealthy merchants in the city in accordance with the order of the commander of the Hanlong Division. We grabbed nearly 100,000 gold coins and a large number of other jewelry and utensils. Please tell us what to do about it." The captain of Bavel's guard reported the basic data before he could wait for my deputy (Matthew) to speak.

"Well, this time the actors will give each person two gold coins. The two of you will each get 200 gold coins, and the rest will be sent to Lord Bavel. Now Hanlong stays, so the rest will go out!" Sak sent a few generals casually, and then stared at me and looked hard.

"Sir, is there something wrong with me? Or..." I was so furious that I looked at myself, and after looking at me, I was extremely confused. If I hadn't confirmed that he didn't want to slander me, I would have been really scared.

"I didn't expect that the front hand snatched his own supplies, and the back hand snatched the materials that were originally political investments in a variety of ways, and the other party didn't dare to fart. He really deserves to be a member of the Xia tribe!"

"These are all just borrowing the east wind of this battle that the adults are preparing to launch. I just want to make this war more similar. If we hadn't negotiated with Hegma, I think even if we attacked the deserted stone city in vain, we would have to pay a price. And if the defenders inside were dispersed, they might have led the eastern army from the South Gate to capture the city. In this ending, at least I won't lose money!" Not only did I lose money, but I made a lot of money. These things are said to be worth at least 1 million gold coins. Unfortunately, they don't have my share, so pitiful!

"Okay, I'm not kidding. Hanlong, you have made contributions this time. I will reward you with 10,000 gold coins from the things I snatched back, and allow you to choose the jewelry you can take as a reward. You can choose it yourself!"

"Thank you, sir, so I will say goodbye first." The reward was issued and the order to expel the guests was issued. I knew that it was the time for me to get out of here.

"Baville, tell me your advice, how to deal with this little guy?" After watching me leave, Sach immediately turned his attention to Baaville.

"This little guy is simply a genius in the use and manufacture of war equipment. In addition, he has the unique intelligence and value of wealth among all the Xia people. I think his weakness is too conscious of the times. But overall, as long as we can control him, this person is definitely an jealous character in our hands, and the power he can exert is definitely more than the entire Flame Legion. So I suggest sending someone to protect him and use it for me. Otherwise, I will kill him..." In the end, Bavel's peaceful face showed a rare ferocious look.

"Don't worry, now he is surrounded by our people, so he is not afraid of any abnormal movements. What I am worried about is whether the large dye vat of the imperial capital will cause problems in his mind or invest in other forces after he goes back. But what you said just now is that as long as you arrange the manpower closely and strictly monitor him, will this ordinary person who is not good at martial arts and magic still want to fly out of our palms? But then again, I think we have to try to hide him and reduce others' interest and attention in him. All this is probably yours to be the one who presides over it."

"Sac, don't worry, I will do this. In addition, I will also vaguely remind the little guy that we can protect him. At the same time, if he dares to rebel against us, then we will kill him like a chicken..."

"Okay, that's what Hanlong did. Now we have done everything we should do. Perhaps the only thing is to wait for the Senke Federation to send someone to submit the peace talks." After solving a big deal, Sach's face relaxed a lot, he lie half on the chair comfortably, raised his glass and drank a sip of wine.

"Yes, the eastern leadership did not have infantry to continue to fight, and the Senke Federation also had no strength to fight again. They lost two directly strengthened legions and a division of berserkers, plus their magicians and local legions, the number of people alone reached more than 200,000, accounting for one quarter of their entire army. Do you think they dare to provoke trouble again? Or don't surrender?

But to be honest, the Eastern Commander was also quite miserable this time. The two local legions, the 223 and 224th legions, only more than 20,000 people are left. The 103th legion is better, and they have lost 20,000 infantry and thousands of cavalry. However, the total of nearly 200,000 soldiers are finished, including nearly 100,000 regular Imperial Army.

But then again, who made this damn Baroque stand in the middle and suddenly leaned against the faction of the Minister of Finance? Otherwise, His Majesty the Emperor would not have suspicious of him and tried to weaken the strength of the Eastern Territory. Or is this the reason why people are old?"

"Well, forget it! Let our old men worry now. We just need to bring our soldiers and work hard to expand our strength so as not to be squeezed out by the faction of the Minister of Military Affairs. But now is our most relaxed and helpless day, or we should arrange some entertainment programs..."
