Ivanovich's death brought an unsatisfactory end to this inexplicable war. otbnkotgt Under such circumstances, victory does not seem so sweet.
"What kind of obstacles will we encounter next?"
William thought in his heart, and then stepped over the corpse of Ivanovich who was still staring at death.
There is no danger on the battlefield anymore.
"The centaurs of Tartaria are an enemy that I cannot defeat now.
If I want to fight against them, I must rely on the power of a higher-level person.
The problem is that the Grand Duke of Mazovia, in his heart What on earth do you think?"
William couldn't help but think in his heart.
He had no real contact with the Grand Duke, so he could only analyze the Grand Duke Leszek von Trieste of Mazovia from a series of hearsay.
And most of the rumors show that the Grand Duke is a hopeless and incompetent waste.
At the same time, judging from his performance in this matter, which is the serf uprising this winter.
The description of an "incompetent piece of trash" is apt.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Some even say that if the nobles in the country had not restrained each other and the threat of the centaur was close at hand, then his rule would have been overthrown long ago.
"So the next thing you should do is to show your strength.
Then sell yourself for a good price?"
William thought in his heart.
Then he laughed to himself.
Although after that conversation, he was severely scolded by his father, Baron Otto, for such speculation.
But that didn't stop him from continuing to think so.
"But, what should my father do?"
Thinking of this, William felt a very, very headache.
He knew that if he wanted to maximize his profits, he must tie his father, Baron Otto, to his chariot.
As a hero in the last great border war, he had great symbolic significance.
If such a person also defected to the Tartariya Khanate, it would naturally prove that the centaurs had their destiny.
And if such a character did die like a hero in the end on the battlefield against the Centaurs, then it would naturally inspire countless Goths to rise up and resist.
Originally, in this situation, if it worked well, Baron Otto could have both sides.
He even became a key figure in determining the fate of the Grand Duchy of Mazovia.
But the problem is that the Red Knight is not good at most other things except fighting and war.
And he is also a guy who accepts death.
"Father is not so easy to persuade."
Thinking of this, William definitely had a headache.
After thinking about it for a moment, William could only shake his head with a wry smile.
"At the very least, I have to save my father's life."
William thought in his heart, and then temporarily put the problem behind him.
"William" That is to say, when William was walking on the battlefield, not far away, Shalomi's voice came over.
William turned his head and saw Chalumi running over on horseback with a smile on her face.
When she was not far away, she jumped off the horse and ran quickly to William.
The sun was shining brightly, and Shalumi's smile was very bright.
At the same time, he still had a "come and praise me" expression on his face.
Although it was completely inconsistent with the armor on her body, the messy long hair, and the blood stains on her body.
Such a scene full of contradictions reminded William of what kind of twisted world he was in now.
Seeing Shalumi smiling happily.
William didn't ask any questions that were disappointing or incomprehensible.
For example, what was it like going to the battlefield for the first time?

How does it feel to kill someone with your own hands?
Do you feel uncomfortable inside?
Or maybe it was spit out.
Because William knew that these questions were meaningless.
Yes, for a child who has been educated as a knight since childhood, these things are all meaningless.
Not even a knight, even a civilian, a serf.
For a serf, death, or even murder, is not unacceptable.
Something too rare.
So, at this time, facing little Shalumi who returned victoriously.
There is no need to have any other emotions except smile.
"Well done."
With these words, William hugged Shalumi.
Let go, then stroke her hair and say this to her.
"Yes."
After hearing what William said, Charlotte smiled with satisfaction.
Then he complimented William by the way: "You did a good job, William.
And it seems that you can win without the cavalry."
"Don't say that."
William said: "If there is no cavalry unit, then it may be possible to win.
But there is absolutely no way to cause enough damage to the opponent.
There is no way to end the war.
After all, the infantry unit cannot run away.
The opponent's.
If most of the enemies run away, they will cause trouble to the place next."
After hearing what William said, Shalumi nodded, indicating that she accepted William's statement.
It was under this circumstance that the cavalry had already begun to gather their troops.
Most of the bandits surrendered obediently and were then escorted over by them.
The number is close to two thousand.
Everyone looked downcast, and at the same time they looked like they could be blown over by the wind.
The eyes of these guys were filled with despair.
It looked like they were massacred, or buried alive, and they would not resist or even react.
"That's it for now."
William looked at these guys and nodded, thinking in his heart.
"So William, why are you keeping these people alive?"
So, Shalumi asked this question.
"Become a soldier."
William replied: "Although there are many shortcomings, if you want to quickly form a full-time standing army, then these guys are the best soldiers."
"But" after hearing what William said, Chalumi felt something was wrong even more: "Do we have this necessity?
Moreover, Chersk's financial resources do not allow us to develop such an army."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Charumi.
None of this is a problem at all."
William smiled confidently and replied: "This unit will be put to use soon.
And at the same time, this unit The troops do not necessarily have to be financed with money from the Count of Chersk."
"Ah well."
Although William said this, Shalomi did not feel completely at ease.

After all, this kind of thing was too important.
"I'll tell you carefully after I get back."
William patted Shalumi on the shoulder and said.
"Yeah."
In the end, trust in William prevailed.
Shalumi nodded.
No more talking.
"Then let's go take a look at the trophies."
William said.
"The spoils of war."
After hearing this word, Shalumi became happy again.
In addition to looting a count's castle, the rogue troops also captured many knights, merchants' estates, as well as wealthy or poor towns and villages.
And judging from their poverty and hunger.
There should be no businessmen brave enough to contact them yet.
Under such circumstances, the wealth they looted naturally remained intact.
"It gives us an advantage."
William said to Shalumi with a smile.
"But half of it has to be given to the soldiers."
Shalumi was slightly dissatisfied.
"This is also necessary."
William replied: "After all, we haven't given them enough military pay, right?
The soldiers have to work hard.
How can we do it without giving them enough benefits?"
"But" "The peasants and soldiers don't count.
No matter how much they robbed, only a tenth was left to them.
That's not enough," William replied.
"That's pretty much it."
Shalumi then expressed satisfaction.
The peasants and soldiers didn't have much strength anyway.
And in the previous battle, these guys didn't help much.
In this case, they also take fifty percent of the loot.
Let alone others, even they themselves may not be able to accept it.
That's it.
Soon, after the prisoners returned to camp, William asked peasants and soldiers, as well as half a company of reserve soldiers and a few cavalry guards to guard the prisoners.
The remaining troops went to the camp of the bandits to make a fortune.
This approach naturally makes those left behind very unhappy.
However, because William promised them an additional compensation.
Therefore, the remaining troops did not openly express their dissatisfaction.
Besides that, there is no chance of making a fortune if you stay here.
It is even said that the chances of making a fortune are no less than searching the other party's camp.
Although there were only two of these nearly two thousand prisoners, they all looked sick and dying.
But maybe someone has something that is easy to carry and valuable.
For example, small pieces of gold jewelry, gemstones, or some works of art that are light and easy to carry.
Although William issued an order not to torture, let alone kill, these prisoners of war.
But it didn't say that they were not allowed to exchange things, right?

Look at this group of people starving to such a pitiful state.
How much can they get in exchange for a piece of brown bread?
This is a question worthy of discussion. 160420oshow7:
