Succubus' Manor

The captives were locked in a dungeon, and they had to stay in the dungeon for at least a month, and they would be assigned jobs after they became docile.

But Stettin's soldiers did not feel relaxed because of the end of the war. They had to clean up the battlefield and maintain military discipline. Three days later, they were going to set off for Otley.

Aqier's arm was wrapped with a bandage, and he went to carry the corpse in silence. The enemy's corpse was thrown into the big pit dug and buried with soil, but they didn't dig the pit casually. Dig out casually.

But the soldiers who died on their own side have graves.

Chi Yan specially circled a cemetery outside the city, and the masons in the city would carve tombstones for the soldiers who died in battle.

People in the city did not know what was happening outside the city until almost the second day of the war.

Because the place where the enemy was blocked was a cut off from Stettin, and it was a cold weapon war, almost no one heard the sound.

Mei wakes up very early, she wakes up before dawn, and recently she found a new job, washing clothes for people who do heavy work, she can wash five boxes of clothes a day, and can get 42 copper coins a month.

Besides, there is water and food in the place of work, and the rice is the cheapest bean dregs cake, but Mei does not dislike it, as long as she can eat enough, she can save money. Sometimes she will go to the market to buy some food, and go home to improve with her mother meals.

She dressed as usual, said hello to her mother, and left the house, then went to the laundry factory on the edge of the city.

It's just that Mei, who just stepped out of the house, was frightened by the scene in front of her.

The street was full of people, people seemed to be talking about something, a few or a dozen people crowded together.

Mei approached a group of people blankly, and finally heard what they were saying.

"The robbers from Otley called last night!"

"The man who lived on the edge of the city said it when he went shopping in the city! He said he saw soldiers burying dead bodies early in the morning!"

"Then...then nothing will happen now?"

"It must be fine! Burying the corpse proves that our side has won!"

"Correct!"

"I heard that bandits are very scary. If they capture a city, they will kill the men in the city, rape and kill the women, and then raise the children to turn them into new bandits."

"Won't that city be destroyed?"

"They are not afraid of destroying the city. After killing everyone, they rob things and leave. They can find another place to rob."

Mei hesitated and asked, "But Stettin is a big city. Aren't the robbers robbing small towns and villages?"

The man who spoke plausibly just now turned his head and said to Mei: "You don't know that, Otley's robbers are not real robbers!"

Others hurried over to listen.

The man talked eloquently: "Otley is not like us in Stettin. During the plague, we had the medicine given by the lord. Later, the merchants in the city did not drive up the price of grain. Even if we couldn't afford vegetables and meat, we could still buy them." You can make money by making bean dregs cakes, paving roads and farming.”

"They couldn't find jobs and couldn't buy food, and the merchants didn't want to go."

Someone asked: "How do you know?"

Man: "I'm from Otley!"

Onlookers: "Then you said "we" Stettin?"

Man: "Although I am from Otley, I think I am from Stettin. I married Stettin's wife and gave birth to Stettin's daughter. Why am I not from Stettin?" ?”

Everyone: "... makes sense."

It was rare for a man to be noticed by so many people. He raised his head and continued to talk endlessly: "Then the lords of Otley couldn't collect taxes and money, so they sent their guards to rob the passing merchants outside the city... "

Bystander: "Wow!"

Man: "In addition to the lord, the local big families also do the same."

The onlookers were amazed, they did not expect that there would be a bandit group raised by the lord in the world, which opened the door to a new world.

But Mei didn't care more about this, she suddenly asked: "Then, are there any dead people on our side?"

Man: "I don't know. I didn't go outside the city to see. They said they wanted to go outside the city. If no one stops me, I want to go too."

"Let's go too."

"Yes, yes, let's go together."

Mei thought about it, and finally decided to go with her. Her new job was only metered and had no fixed working hours.

Most of the people in the city were walking out of the city, and it was rare for Stettin to be so crowded.

The soldiers outside the city were busy cleaning the battlefield while wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

They also had to touch each other on one side before throwing the enemy's body into the pit.

When Mei and the others arrived, what they saw was a piece of blood-stained land. Even the grass blades were stained with dried blood. The soldiers were bowing their waists and carrying the corpses one by one.

Everyone agreed and stopped not far from the battlefield.

As a hub city, Stettin has not encountered war for many years.

Generally speaking, no one would attack Stettin unless there was a dead end, because once something happened to Stettin, the merchants could only choose to take a detour, which would cut off the lives of many merchants.

This also caused Stettin's people to gasp when they saw the bloody scene.

Even now it is after the war.

Achill also saw the civilians coming, but he didn't pay attention to the civilians.

He glanced at the soldiers he had trained, and realized for the first time that he had not trained them well.

If they are trained well, young people like Andy will not lose their lives because of hesitation.

If they are trained well, they won't be caught in a tough fight even though they have a big advantage.

Achill gritted his teeth. His tongue was bitten by himself during the fight. At this time, his mouth was full of blood. He swallowed the sweet blood and sat down on the stone wearily.

His deputy was still standing, frowning and said: "36 of our team died."

Achill said with a cold face, "I didn't train people well. When this place is cleaned up, I will go to the adults to receive punishment."

The deputy knew that Achill was referring to Kleist, and he nodded wearily: "I'm with you."

They all knew Kleist's punishment in their hearts, and they should all be able to lie in bed for the next week.

Achill wiped his face: "I can't do this again in the future."

He thought that he let the soldiers train day and night, so that the soldiers would not get tired and lie down and rest, just for the sake of the soldiers, and would give the soldiers a little more hope of surviving after going to the battlefield.

But now he realizes how wrong he was.

The deputy looked at the group of civilians again, and said to Achill, "What about those people? Do you want to drive them away?"

Achill waved his hand: "Let them see."

Achill: "Andy and the others also died for them."

The deputy sighed.

For whom?

No one can tell.

Mei stood in the crowd, she desperately wanted to do something, but she didn't know what she could do, so she turned her head and asked the man who came from Otley just now: "Should we help?"

The man didn't hear clearly: "What?"

May said loudly among the noisy crowd: "They fought and defeated the enemy! They are heroes! Cleaning up the battlefield should be done by those of us who did not go to the battlefield!"

The man patted the back of his head: "You're right."

Everyone around fell silent.

When the soldiers were carrying the body against the scorching sun, they suddenly found that many people appeared around them unknowingly.

These people were men and women, old and young, and they stood beside them silently, lifting the corpse on the ground instead of them.

The soldiers looked dazed, and no one knew what happened.

Did the grown-ups make these people clean it?

A soldier suddenly recognized his family from the crowd. He took a step forward and walked to his old mother, trying to snatch the work back from her.

"Mom." The soldier called out.

The woman raised her head and saw her son's face. Her tears welled up in an instant, and her thin and dry hand touched his son's cheek: "Mother Baro, you are still alive."

Baro grinned: "Alive, not dead, go back and rest, I'll clean up here and go back."

The woman didn't leave, she stretched out her hand and put it on her son's: "Let mother come, you are tired."

"Mom can't go to the battlefield to kill enemies like you, but I can still do this kind of thing."

Baro was caught off guard, he didn't know what to say, so he looked around and found that many people were staring at their mother and child. There was no disdain or contempt in the eyes of these people. They looked at him as if they were watching a hero.

Full of admiration.

Someone said: "Your son is in the army? What a strong lad!"

"It must be very brave!"

"Baro, how many enemies did you kill last night?"

Barrow thought for a while, and said honestly, "I don't remember."

But that didn't dampen people's enthusiasm.

They continued: "You are amazing!"

"Is the enemy scary?"

"If it weren't for you, Stettin would be finished!"

"You are all warriors, heroes who protect Stettin."

Barrow had never been praised so much before, his face was flushed, he could only lower his head, not daring to look at the speaker.

Is he really good?

He didn't even know what he was doing last night.

All he remembered was the chaos, and he could only identify the enemy from his figure and clothes with difficulty.

He still remembered the smell of blood lingering at the tip of his nose, and the eyes of the enemy full of fear when he swung the knife down.

Almost, almost, he was about to withdraw his knife.

The sound of shouting and killing was loud, but until now, Baro had no sense of reality.

He really went to the battlefield, and he really killed people.

Baro swallowed, and whispered, "I...I'm not a warrior."

Then he turned his head and glanced at Achill: "It's my instructor."

But people did not listen to him.

"You are all warriors!"

"I don't dare to think what will happen when I go to the battlefield!"

"Baro, you are a child of Stettin, you have protected our city, and your child will regard you as his pride in the future!"

Baro's eyes turned red, and he stood there stupidly, motionless.

He is Stettin's child, and he has not failed the city and the land that gave birth to him.

He blocked the enemy's attack and used his own flesh and blood to protect this place.

At this moment, Baro burst into tears, and he came back to life.
