Glory Riding and Cutting

"Is there a place in the city for prisoners?"

Ronan wiped off the blood on the sword, then inserted the sword back into the scabbard, and then looked at the lord of Sitges standing beside Meriuses.

"I'm afraid we can't house so many prisoners. Your Majesty, there is only one cell in the city that normally detains prisoners. It can hold no more than 200 people at most, and more than 1,000 captives. Unless we rebuild a temporary cell now, we will definitely not be able to let them go." of!"

The lord of Sitges City is not doing very well, and he is not too young. During this time, he has not slept for several days because of the siege. He looks very haggard, with dark circles under his eyes like a panda.

"Don't bother with them, Magna, the captives are executed on the spot, the corpses are burned together with the previous ones, and useful equipment is provided to the militia, you look tired, go and rest, come to me tomorrow morning, I have something to tell you!"

Ronan ordered Magna to execute the captive in cold blood, and then said to Lord Sitges. After speaking, Ronan asked Lord Sitges' attendants to take him to find a place to rest.

After eating some simple food, the cavalry sent to pursue them rushed back, and the Noldor knight walked up to Ronan, with some blood on his body.

"Your Majesty, we caught up with the deserter, but the enemy's support arrived during the battle. I could only lead the troops to retreat, but failed to catch the eagle commander."

"It's okay, it's not important, they have suffered heavy casualties this time, so let's escape some if they escape!"

Ronan waved his hand to indicate that the Noldo Knight could go to rest, then stood up and walked to the window, looking at the city of Sitges, where battles can occasionally be seen on the street, the room of the City Lord's Mansion where Ronan is located is on the high On the tower, half of the city can be overlooked through the windows.

The troops that were still resisting in the city were basically killed. Because I don't know how many there are, so I can't be sure. Even if some of them hid or escaped, it doesn't hurt. They can't make any troubles .

After resting for a day, especially the troops of Meriuses and the remaining defenders of Sitges, they are already very tired, and the food supply has been reduced in the past few days, which makes their physical recovery very slow. Few wounded need treatment.

Early the next morning, Ronan was having a meeting to plan the next work.

"First send people to repair the surrounding city gates, the enemy may attack here again, we must not relax our vigilance!"

At this time, Jackson, who came back from the investigation, opened the door and walked in. He went straight to Ronan's direction, saluted and said to Ronan:

"Your Majesty, the scattered enemy troops have reunited. They did not choose to attack us, but withdrew to Jianmen Castle, but..."

Jackson hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Tell me!" Ronan was a little strange.

"They burned, killed, looted along the way, destroyed buildings, burned crops, took women and children away, and killed most of the men. The places they occupied before are already in a mess!"

Jackson then said in a low voice. After Jackson finished speaking, everyone present frowned, and Lord Sitges heaved a sigh of relief with some fear and some gratitude.

"This group of guys! Call the troops, let's go immediately!" Ronan stood up angrily, and then walked out of the gate directly.

The others didn't dare to say anything when they saw Ronan's state. Originally, they planned to wait here until the reinforcements were assembled, and attack here in rounds with the reinforcements, but Ronan obviously should pay attention, and they could only obey.

After walking out of the Sitges Territory and entering the next territory previously occupied by the Eagles, the atmosphere is obviously different. First of all, there is silence, and then you can see many birds such as crows and vultures flying by in the sky. , the place where the cultivated land on both sides was before was scorched black, obviously burned by the fire, and even some nearby woods were also affected, but fortunately it did not cause a forest fire.

There was a trace of a village ahead, and Ronan pulled the rein, driving Nami Entu to speed up and run there.

Looking at the dialect, it was a mess, most of the houses were burnt and collapsed, and the ground was covered with blood, which could vaguely reflect the original tragedy. Ronan turned over and jumped off his mount, and slowly walked towards the village along the central road. Walking, a group of knights immediately got off their horses and followed Ronan.

Ronan was a little strange, there was not a single corpse on the ground, only bloodstains were left, even if the smell of blood attracted the beasts, it was impossible to eat them so cleanly, there would definitely be bones and pieces of clothes left, but Luo Nan Nan quickly had an answer.

In the center of the village, there should be a large open space where the village chief usually summons the villagers to announce things or give speeches by the clergy. There is a hill made of corpses standing there. After these days of exposure to the sun, the corpses are already showing signs of decay. There was an unpleasant stench, and countless mosquitoes and flies were flying around the pile of corpses, and some carrion birds were pecking at the corpses at the top of the pile of corpses.

Some corpses had a lot of flesh and blood removed by the vultures, exposing the bones, the eyeballs were pecked, and the eye sockets were bloody and bloody, which added to the horror. Ronan frowned and waved at the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers immediately stepped forward, drove away the vultures who were still pecking at the corpses with their spears, and then began to turn over the pile of corpses with their spears, that is to say, these soldiers are well-trained, have experienced many battles, and have seen different There are few corpses, and they are somewhat immune to the smell of corpses and the horror of corpses. If it were replaced by some recruits who had just joined the army, they would have already vomited until their stomach acid disappeared.

"Your Majesty, they are all men and old people. It seems that they have indeed taken away women and children. The wounds on the corpses are not even. Killed, the distribution of blood on the ground can also prove it!"

The soldier walked back to Ronan to report.

"Well, let's burn the corpse. If you stay here, it will breed plague. This group of beasts really spared no effort in order to cause trouble for us, and there is no limit!"

The soldier nodded, and then went back to the team to get some oil, poured it on the pile of corpses, lit a torch and threw it on it. The fire spread rapidly, and the pile of corpses burned blazingly, giving off an even more unpleasant smell, but Ronan did not avoid it. Instead, he watched the pile of corpses burn into ashes, as if some decision had been made.

"Gather the ashes and bury them!"

Ronan ordered, then turned and left here. Most of the villages that passed by were like this. In order to avoid the breeding of plague, Ronan specially sent a lot of cavalry to take fuel to the villages or towns that were not on their planned route to dispose of the corpses.
