Chapter 62

The battle lasted less than half an hour and ended.

The combat effectiveness of the two sides was not comparable at all. The Ellington guard wiped out the Eighth Army of caspamiburg by an overwhelming margin.

"Lord, the battle is over. 352 people have been killed, 212 sets of intact armor and weapons have been captured, 148 people have been captured, and the number of casualties on our side is... Zero!"

After reporting this data, uncle Depp looked unbelievable. He charged with 200 troops and 500 people. Finally, he not only annihilated the enemy and captured more than 100 prisoners, but not even a dead man on his side!

If this goes out, who will believe it!?

Even those famous generals in the imperial capital command the battle. It is very difficult to win, let alone zero casualties.

Donne nodded. "Well, not surprisingly."

Casualties? Don't be kidding. With so many magic auras, let alone opponents of this level, even the army composed of bronze Apocalypse has the power of war.

This is completely one-sided rolling.

Uncle Depp looked at Donne in awe. Now he was more and more convinced that Donne was the son of God and came to the world to save Ellington.

"Lord, about the treatment of those prisoners..."

Uncle Depp doesn't know what Donne plans to do with the prisoners. The prisoners in the mine have been recruited before. Will these prisoners also be recruited?

"All the prisoners were demoted to slaves."

Don said without hesitation, "they can't be treated the same as those before."

Yes, if these prisoners are incorporated in the blink of an eye and enjoy the same treatment as those prisoners in the mine before, what do those people think?

The reason why they defected was that they were abandoned by duvier and were about to face war. If they didn't defecte, they would be dead, so they would fight.

But what about these prisoners now? Just defeated and become a friend in the blink of an eye?

How can these people accept it.

Therefore, the treatment of both sides must be distinguished, even if the decision is very cruel.

In addition, Donne also plans to rebuild Ellington and re plan the town. At that time, a lot of labor will be needed. These slaves are the best candidates.

As long as we give them a small reward and the hope of restoring the free people, we are not afraid that they will not work hard.

"I see."

Uncle Depp's face turned pale. It was the first time he had seen Donne give such a cruel order.

Once demoted to the status of a slave, it is too difficult to become a free people again. It can almost be said that it has completely changed a person's fate. However, uncle Depp did not say anything. If the LORD did not lead them to resist, their fate would only be worse after Ellington was captured.

After cleaning the battlefield, the Ellington guard escorted the prisoners back with victory. The crowd gathered near the town. When they saw the guard's victory, they cheered one by one.

Such a victory is too important for Ellington now. Ellington, who has just begun to recover, can't afford the failure of the war. Once it is defeated, it will collapse completely.

That night, Ellington held a banquet in the square in the center of the town. Everyone reveled all night to celebrate this rare victory. Even Donne and Fiona participated in it and drank the wine of victory with everyone.

the second day.

"After the identities of these slaves were filed, they were first sent to the mine for labor reform."

Although the mine has resumed normal mining, the output of ore has not been raised, and these prisoners can just be used.

"In addition, arrange shifts for the guard, arrange a team of 20 people to garrison the mine, rotate with the materials once a week, and each person can give them 10 silver coins a week."

"You are spending money indiscriminately again... It is their duty to garrison the mine."

"But not necessarily," said Donne. "For only ten silver coins, they can turn their reluctance into active competition. Isn't that good?"

"Well, well, you are the Lord. You have your word."

Fiona has completely given up the idea of stopping Donne from losing his family. Anyway, her people will arrive in the next two days. Once the chamber of commerce is reorganized, it can start to operate mint candy, soap and metal farm tools. When there is income, the economic situation will be much better.

"You should start planning for the chamber of Commerce. When I come back, it's best to see that everyone has arrived."

"When you come back?"

Fiona was stunned: "are you going out?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Arrange a carriage for me."

Don said casually, "since Baron duvier is so disgraceful, I'll go myself and settle accounts with him."

"I see!"

Fiona certainly won't worry about Donne's safety. Donne will certainly get a lot of money back. With this money, Ellington's financial situation will be much better.

Fiona almost happily arranged it.

While Fiona arranged the carriage, Donne found Elia again.

"Elia, I've been out for a few days. When you practice magic these days, remember to find a place where there is no one. In addition, try not to practice arcane arrows and water arrows."

Donne not only wanted Elia to get familiar with the feeling of releasing spells as soon as possible and master her own strength, but also feared that she might accidentally hurt herself or others when she was away. This contradictory mood made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Lord, big brother, you're going out!"

Elijah suddenly hung on Donne: "take Elijah out with you? Elijah hasn't left Ellington and hasn't seen anywhere else!"

"This..."

Donne frowned slightly, hesitated and said, "what about your mother if you're not at home?"

"Sister Elsa can take care of her!"

"Well... Well, I'll talk to Elsa."

Donne promised Elia that instead of leaving her at home to worry, he might as well continue to teach her how to control her power during these days on the road.

"Yes!"

Elia happily kissed Donne on the cheek and hugged his neck without going down.

For a while, Donne's status in her mind has risen sharply, and there are faint signs of surpassing Elsa, which makes Elsa very sad who is busy training the guard.

"Elsa!"

Donne took Elia to the training ground and called Elsa.

"Lord!"

Elsa hurried over. Thanks to her natural strength and physique, she didn't have to participate in Donne's training. Seeing the miserable appearance of those people in the guard, Elsa had a kind of lucky joy in her heart.

"I'm going to caspamiburg. Elia wants to go out with me for a tour. I've promised."

"This... OK."

Elsa nodded: "there should be nothing wrong with the Lord taking care of her, but..."

Elsa looked at Elia, twisted her eyebrows and scolded, "Elia, have you been too sticky to the Lord lately? It will affect the Lord's work."

Elia pouted her lips and was unhappy: "no! And Elia didn't stick to her big brother. It was the big brother who came to Elia!"

"Nonsense, Lord, you are so busy. How can you find you every day..."

"This..."

Donne smiled and stopped Elsa: "I really went to find her..."

Elsa was surprised: "Lord, I know you like Elia very much, but you can't delay your work by playing with her."

Although Elsa doesn't know what the Lord's specific work is, she rules a territory, all kinds of things need to be handled, and all kinds of work need to be coordinated. Just think about it, Elsa feels that Donne, who can do all this well, is very great.

Donne was very embarrassed. He looked at Elsa's adoring eyes and said, "I gave everything to Fiona, so I have nothing to do with myself. It's no problem." this kind of words can't be said even if I'm killed!

"Forget it. In a word, Elia, don't trouble the Lord on the way, you know?"

"I see!"

After getting permission to go out, Elia was very happy.

Donne looked at the sweaty soldiers in the training ground and asked, "how's the training?"

Elsa stuck out her tongue and said with a bad smile, "everyone is tired, especially last night when she was so late. Many people's legs are soft today... But everyone gritted their teeth and insisted."

"Good, go on, tell them, just say what I said, stick to it, and the three best performers at the end of the month will be rewarded."

"I believe they will work harder when they hear it."

Elsa is very optimistic about this.

"Where's uncle Depp?"

"You asked him to learn how to command the army before, so he decided to start learning literacy."

"That's a good thing."

Donne sighed, suddenly stunned and said, "anyway, I haven't seen your father for days. What's Mr. Alberton doing?"

Elsa spread her hand: "I don't know. My father often went to the forest when I was very young. My mother said he was honing his skills. He would bring some prey every time he came back. He should have died under his sword."

"I see."

Donne said with a smile, "it seems that Mr. Alberton is also a person who is not willing to be ordinary."

"All right... I'm going back."

Elsa smiled and waved her hand, and ran back to supervise the training.

When Donne returned to the Lord's house with Elia, Fiona had prepared the carriage, dry food and salute.

"Lord, it will take about five or six days to get to caspamiburg, because there are no villages and towns in the middle, so in order to prevent accidents, I have prepared ten days of dry food and water for you."

"Enough."

In fact, even if you don't prepare food, it's all right.

"Lord, Elijah, she..."

"She's coming with me, too."

Donne didn't explain why. Fiona looked at Donne strangely, but she opened her mouth and gave up asking.
