Lord: Harvest two talented teenagers at the beginning

More than thirty dwarf soldiers paid the price with their lives to take back their lord's head.

After eight hours of fighting, Moncas's army captured the outermost edge of the Iron Tower City.

Stepping on the stone wall, Moncas watched the scene in front of him without changing his expression. The blood stained the gray-white city wall, the corpses of dwarves and humans were intertwined, and there were broken swords everywhere.

Alcott pulled out his knight's sword, picked up the helmets of several dwarf soldiers, and found that they were all covered with white hair under the helmets.

"Viscount Muncas, eight out of ten dwarf corpses here are old people. There are very few young and middle-aged dwarves. It seems that they want to carry it to death." Alcott wiped the blood on the knight's sword and took it back In the scabbard.

"Originally, I wanted to go all out and take the Iron Tower City directly. Since these dwarves want to resist, let's proceed according to the original plan." Moncas was also helpless about this and could only follow the previously discussed plan.

Hearing this, Alcott nodded and said, "Your troops suffered heavy casualties during today's attack on the city. Let my soldiers deal with the aftermath."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you." Viscount Muncas turned around and thanked him.

"It's my job," Alcott replied.

Afterwards, the army under Alcott began to collect the corpses of his colleagues. As for the corpses of the dwarves, they were all dumped in places with water sources.

At the same time, the soldiers brought up the magic cannon and violently destroyed important nodes in Iron Tower City with energy bombs.

"My lord, the city has been piled with wood, and all our personnel have been evacuated." A low-level silver knight came to Alcott, beat his chest in salute, and reported loudly.

Alcott nodded, and he threw the torch in his hand into the city. In an instant, fire was burning in Iron Tower City.

The fire burned for two days and two nights, and the Iron Tower Mountain was covered with a layer of black ash, as well as thousands of dwarf soldiers who suffocated to death in the tunnels.

In the headquarters of the 135th Legion, Verin took a pen and wrote a report for Moncas and Alcott.

Being a legion commander is very prestigious, but during the battle, a report needs to be prepared for each battle, submitted, and reviewed by the Merits Verification Department to ultimately determine how much merit the leading noble has earned.

As the commander of the 135th Legion, as long as the nobles under his organization obtain military exploits, he will have a share, but the difference is just how much.

This time, Viscount Moncas was selected as the coach of the attack on Tower City, in order to repay the favor of the other party for giving up his position to him.

In his opinion, there are at least three military exploits for capturing Iron Tower City. Mengkas can get two-thirds of it, and the remaining one-third belongs to his cousin. The military exploits obtained by Weilin are the two of them. One-sixth of the combat merit will be listed separately, and the combat merit in their hands will not be divided. This is the benefit of being a legion commander.

If he directly led troops to participate in the attack, with the blessing of his status as legion commander, he could get two copies, but it was not necessary.

With so many nobles under his command, if he can live alone, he will be careful not to lose morale.

Their victory is due to their good leadership.

If they were defeated, they themselves would have to bear the responsibility, be reprimanded by their superiors, and even have their military merit deducted.

As a legion commander, the most important thing is selecting generals.

After writing the combat report, Weilin took out a piece of white paper and wrote a report requesting for logistical supplies.

Attacking Iron Tower City consumed 800 intermediate magic crystals, which was a bit of a waste.

……

Three days later, the 135th Army was divided into five parts. Except for the four battalions led by Welin to besiege Iron Tower City, the other eight battalions of 40,000 troops were divided into two battalions, led by Moncas. , Alcott, Algernon and another viscount commanded, sweeping the surrounding dwarf towns and villages.

Before leaving, Verin summoned the nobles and warned them not to massacre the dwarf civilians.

As the commander of the 135th Legion and the speaker of the Council of Nobles of Cardero Province, coupled with the benefits he has sought for the legion, his reputation has long surpassed that of Viscount Moncas.

All nobles said they would strictly abide by his orders.

Thirty percent of the property obtained by the noble troops outside was turned over, 20% belonged to Weilin and the nobles who stayed behind, and the remaining 50% belonged to themselves.

"Cassius, I will leave the siege of Iron Tower City to you. The dwarves who take the initiative to surrender can be imprisoned. If you meet the Slave Chamber of Commerce, they can be sold for the right price. Remember to keep a clear account."

"Also, strictly control the surrounding water sources. This group of dwarves who are short of water will definitely come out to grab water. We must focus on defense in these places."

"Yes, my lord," Cassius replied loudly.

Weilin nodded with satisfaction, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Experience in commanding an army of 20,000 people is rare. Study hard. I'm optimistic about you."

"Thank you, Lord, for your consideration."

"Okay, let's go down."

Verin waved his hand and told Cassius to step back.

As for the battles that other nobles encountered while plundering, some reports were left to Kyle to write, while he was responsible for writing some major battles and some reports.

In mid-July, more and more slave merchants came to the territory of Xigas Province.

There are chambers of commerce from the Kingdom of Ilia, there are chambers of commerce from the Kingdom of Kube, and there are even chambers of commerce from the Kingdom of Bahio.

The Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom was retreating steadily in the south, and three provinces fell into the hands of the Kingdom of Ilia. However, in the war with the Kingdom of Bahio in the north, the situation was reversed. The dwarves pinned them to the ground and hammered them, and lost them. Control of the four border provinces.

This was the news that Welin received from his third uncle Bamond half a month ago, which was shocking.

The Kingdom of Bahio and the Kingdom of Ilia have similar troop dispatches, with tens of millions of troops each.

The total army of the Ironforge Dwarf Mountain Kingdom is only 10 million, and they need to deal with the human armies from both directions at the same time.

It stands to reason that the Basio Kingdom's military strength is several times that of the opponent, but it will end up in a disastrous defeat. It is really confusing what they are doing.

Recalling the combat effectiveness of the Bahio Kingdom's army in the Principality of Bogonghan four years ago, it is not so surprising.

Coupled with the kind of political system in their country, it is natural for this kind of thing to happen.

After this battle, the Bahio Kingdom's ranking in the Sinaps subcontinent may drop several places.

At the beginning of September, more and more dwarves walked out of the tunnels of Iron Tower City and knelt down to surrender.

Under the "hungry" offensive, the dwarf civilians with shaky beliefs gave up their firm beliefs and surrendered to the human army.

After some dwarf officers found out, they did not stop them, but silently watched their men leave.

For these surrendered dwarf soldiers, Cassius followed Verin's instructions and imprisoned them all. After a certain number, they were packaged and sold to slave traders.
