Lord of the North

The battlefield was soaked in blood, the soldiers who died in battle were gathered together and prepared to be buried on the spot, and those who survived were accepting captives and collecting the bodies of their comrades-in-arms.

"Clean up the battlefield as soon as possible and treat the wounded. Let's try to get out of here before dark." Marquis Asa said to his knights standing in the distance. Soaked in blood.

"Yes, my lord." The knight took the order and left.

"We brought out a total of 1,000 people this time. After the war, 163 people died, 277 people were seriously injured, and the number of minor injuries was not counted." Marquis Asa blushed a little when he said this, because these Most of the casualties were soldiers he had secretly brought out from the territory before.

Because they did not cooperate well with the soldiers of the iron tooth collar, the casualties were a bit heavy.

"This time we made some mistakes in the battle." Lancelot sighed and turned around: "How many prisoners?"

"The number of captives has not been counted yet, but the number should be more than five hundred." Marquis Asa swallowed when he said this, otherwise the number should be a little more.

It's just that Lancelot saw some signs of stalemate in the battle situation at that time, and immediately broke out his true strength. The terrifying energy condensed on his side, and he trampled on the enemy's camp with Arondite in his hand.

"Their fighting spirit is really too firm." Marquis Asa looked at the soldiers who were being captured in the distance and sighed. Neither he nor Lancelot thought that they would actually be killed when the main general was "killed" in the battle between the two armies. It also guarantees high morale.

It was even possible to organize a counterattack in a short period of time, but lost part of its flexibility because of the loss of the command of the knight Diu.

"Next is Earl Diall."

"It's just that I don't know how strong his real strength is." Marquis Asa's expression was serious. According to the information, there were more than 4,000 soldiers. An ordinary spear can send them to the battlefield, of course as cannon fodder.

"Just ask him." Lancelot looked at the knight Deu who had been knocked out by himself. It seemed that he had struck a bit too hard just now, and he still hasn't woken up.

Then several soldiers walked over with expressionless faces.

Knight Diu swears that he has never been treated so rudely, because Count Diai is the most powerful nobleman in the vicinity, and he has always led troops to attack others instead of being attacked.

"Who are you?"

The knight Deu who was kneeling on the ground looked at Lancelot and Marquis Asa viciously. He still didn't know who the enemy he encountered was.

After being woken up by those rude soldiers pouring cold water on him just now, he was dazed for a while, and then realized that he was still on the battlefield, and he seemed to be captured.

Moreover, being splashed with a ladle of cold water in a icy and snowy environment was really refreshing, but he didn't resist unwisely because Arondette was right next to his neck.

"We are under the Marquis of Jason. Now I hope you can tell us how many soldiers there are in Earl Diai's territory." Lancelot looked at him and said in a deep voice.

"Tch, dreaming." Knight Deu sneered. He dismissed Lancelot's words. Although he was not a good person, his loyalty to his lord was unshakable.

"..."

Lancelot's face sank when he heard this. Jason had given him many interrogation methods before, but it was difficult to implement in this wilderness. He was stopped by the Marquis of Asa just as he was about to explode.

"Maybe you are better at marching and fighting, but leave it to me to interrogate things." He said with a smile, he had done a lot of things like this before.

After finishing speaking, Marquis Asa walked up to Knight Deu,

He knelt down and whispered a few words next to him, then stood up with a smile on his face.

I saw that Knight Deu's face was pale after he finished his words, and his voice was a little trembling: "No, you can't treat me like this. I'm Earl Diai's subordinate. You shouldn't treat a prisoner like this!"

"As long as we don't tell it, who knows that you have been captured by us?" Marquis Asa smiled innocently, and glanced at the soldiers behind Knight Deu.

"I...I said...you can't treat me like this!"

"Of course, as long as you cooperate with me, I can still let you go."

………………

Not long after, the Marquis of Asa and the puzzled Lancelot walked out from the captives.

"What exactly did you tell him?" Lancelot asked Marquis Asa in puzzlement. A tough guy who would rather die than submit just now was so frightened that his face turned blue, and he told all the information.

"Actually, it's nothing." Marquis Asa smiled a little embarrassedly: "I just told him that among the soldiers behind him, there are quite a few men who like men."

"..."

Lancelot didn't know how to answer the conversation for a moment. This is indeed a difficult thing for a normal man to accept, because in this era, such things are very unpopular.

"Okay, don't worry about these small details, let's retreat as soon as possible." Marquis Asa patted Lancelot on the shoulder and said, there is no point in staying here, it is better to go back to the town to recuperate and get ready to welcome next plan.

"I just don't know whether what he said is true or not." Lancelot was a little dignified, although he didn't look like he was lying, but he couldn't help guarding against it.

"Well, but it's correct to take the information he gave as the minimum standard." Marquis Asa also believed that his information was for reference only, although what he said was not very different from the information they detected before.

According to Knight Diu's account, in addition to the 1,500 soldiers who were buried here, there were 3,500 soldiers in Diai's territory, but some of these troops guarded various resource areas in the territory.

There are only 2,300 people left behind in the town.

And Earl Diai actually had five knights and one great knight under his command. No wonder he ran amok in the north to embezzle the land resources of the weak nobles, but no one dared to trouble him.

You must know that a noble like the Marquis of Asa has only one great knight under his command, and the rest are ordinary superpowers.

This level of high-end combat power can already affect the direction of a small battle, and the population in the north is relatively small, so the army of noble lords is generally around 2,000, and only those big nobles can support 4,000 to 5,000 people. army.

With such strength, Earl Diai does not need to be afraid of any forces in the north. Unless someone jointly mobilizes tens of thousands of troops to deal with him, he may not be able to defeat him. However, the kingdom will allow the nobles to have private battles of tens of thousands of people ?

Otherwise, Jason would have taken the Viscount Lyon and their army to pacify the territory of Earl Diai.
