"Report to the marshal, no trace of the enemy generals was found." The soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield reported to Ye Junwen. It was obvious that Duke Seleto and others did not catch them. Most of the dead were soldiers. The main officers and generals of the enemy were not found. I don't know when they left the battlefield. It was dark and windy at the time, and the battlefield was chaotic. Although Ye Junwen had night vision instruments, he still could not find the enemy's escape route.
"But judging from this situation, there shouldn't be many troops left on the other side." Hejar next to him said. After all, the words of the large army had been discovered by Ye Junwen and the others. Ye Junwen and the others were not sure how many troops Duke Seleto had in total, but it was speculated that the people who successfully escaped would not be more than 5,000.
"I'm so lucky, but it doesn't matter." Ye Junwen said. He was originally going to trouble the elves, but now Duke Seleto must have gone to find the elves, otherwise he would have somewhere to go. Since that's the case, Ye Junwen just used them as an excuse for war.
"What should I do now?" Hejar asked. Of course there are options to ask this question. At present, there are two options. One is of course to continue pursuing Duke Seleto's troops, and the other is to stabilize the main city first. Theoretically, it is more important to stabilize the main city now. After all, the main city has been conquered, and they still have a lot of things to do. The most important thing is of course the founding of the country, which is the so-called announcement of the world.
Ye Junwen thought about it for a moment and decided to go to the city first. Although Duke Seleto was very annoying, it was still beneficial to let them meet with the people of the Elf Clan. The remaining amount of troops on the other side would not be a threat, but it could provide an excuse. Therefore, although Ye Junwen asked the cavalry team to chase them directly now, there would be a great possibility to catch up with them, but he still chose to let the other side continue running.
The city gate was already open at this time, and there were some remaining Duke Seleto's troops inside that saw that the situation was hopeless, so they chose to surrender one after another. Ye Junwen and the others still did not pay any price for this battle. Although the battle last night was a bit chaotic, they were actually unilateral massacres. The soldiers on the other side had no fighting spirit and ran around, which led to such chaos, so they almost never encountered any counterattack. The troops of more than 100,000 people did not have the consciousness of continuing to resist.
This is the first time Ye Junwen has come to the main city. When he enters the gate, what Ye Junwen sees is a huge city, which is much more magnificent than the busts he saw outside before. Unfortunately, the main city has been in war for a month. A few days ago, the traces of the siege of Duke Seleto's troops are still there, and both the outer and inner cities have been damaged to a certain extent.
On the street, Ye Junwen could even see the civilians hiding in the corner of the roadside. For a month since the war started, these civilians have been poisoned by the war. The food in the city is given priority to the soldiers. If the houses are destroyed, of course, there is no time to care about you. The result is that civilians are displaced and cannot leave the city. In the end, they can only wander around the city.
These civilians did not show any emotion to Ye Junwen and the others. After all, the city had changed several groups of masters in a short period of time, and they didn't know what kind of power Ye Junwen and the others were. Now they don't even care about their own survival. Do they still care about who is the emperor?
Of course, Ye Junwen didn't have time to care about them, so he rode his horse to the direction of the palace. At the entrance of the inner city of the palace, Ye Junwen saw some strange things.
Just at the gate of the inner city, Ye Junwen saw a row of things similar to cross-slaughter. On the top of the scallop, there were people hanging, and not only men and women, but even children. Everyone was covered in blood, as if they were tortured. Ye Junwen was still wondering who these people were. As a result, Hejar next to him suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty?"
Ye Junwen immediately understood that yes, these people were obviously members of the royal family, including the emperor, all the princes, concubines, and princes and grandchildren were now hanging here. This was obviously done by Duke Seleto, and the purpose was of course very simple, in order to ensure the orthodox nature of his own throne.
Ye Junwen looked carefully and found that these people had the characteristics of the orcs, which was similar to the seventh prince I saw before. After Duke Seleto occupied the palace, in order to let the people in the city support him, he pulled out these royal members who had become orcs and placed them at the gate of the inner city, so that everyone could see that the other party had become orcs. In this case, the people in the city also believed what Duke Seleto said before.
Of course, Ye Junwen also did not recognize the previous royal family, but considering the relationship between Hejiaer, Ye Junwen still asked the soldiers to go up and take a look. After waiting for a while, Ye Junwen received a report saying that most of the royal family members, including the former emperor, were dead, but there were still two escaped nets still alive. Ye Junwen confirmed that these two living people, one was the Eleventh Princess, the other was the Emperor's son, the second prince's son, that is, the eldest prince was exiled, so the second prince was considered the prince).
Although the two are one senior, they are about the same age, about thirteen or fourteen years old. Because they were subjected to criminal law similar to torture, they were both seriously injured, almost the same as when they died. No matter what they were, they probably won't last long.
In general, it is better to deal with these two fish that have escaped the net directly to prevent future troubles, especially the Changhuangsun is still quite troublesome. If someone wants to restore the throne with his identity, it is indeed an obstacle, but Ye Junwen doesn't care about these things.
Isn’t it like this in ordinary stage dramas? The prince, who is burdened with national hatred and family, works hard to govern. After experiencing a series of adventures and coming back to revenge after growing up, the key point is of course the word revenge. Although Ye Junwen now puts the tickets on the elves, it doesn’t matter too much. Keeping these two people may also have a good ticket in the future.
He Jiaer next to him was also waiting for Ye Junwen's decision. It was obvious that he wanted Ye Junwen to let these two people go. After all, they were just children, but he also knew the current situation and didn't know how to speak. But at this moment, Ye Junwen also said: "Take it down for treatment."
He Jiaer was stunned at first, and then showed a touching expression. Since he had taken them all for treatment, he naturally would not kill them. To be honest, He Jiaer was still surprised by Ye Junwen's decision. He didn't say anything and didn't think Ye Junwen would let them go. However, he didn't expect Ye Junwen to do this, which made He Jiaer admire him very much.
Ye Junwen didn't say much about this. After a little treatment, Ye Junwen quickly entered the inner city. The outer circle of the inner city is a noble area, and the residents here are all nobles. However, the situation here seems to be quite bad. Many houses have been destroyed. Then it seems that there have been a battle here, and the blood on the ground is still there, and there is a faint smell of blood around it.
There was no living person in the surrounding houses, and I didn't know where the nobles here went. Ye Junwen and the others continued to move forward, and the traces of the battle became more obvious. It seemed that Duke Seleto's troops had fought with the Royal Guards here after they had captured the inner city. Of course, they had no time to repair these traces afterwards. They just simply dealt with the corpses. It was estimated that the corpses were still piled up and not buried.
Walking up, Ye Junwen finally saw the palace. When he was outside the city, Ye Junwen saw the palace, but this time he came here, his feelings were even more obvious. This is a very magnificent building, with white and brown overall structures, very old-fashioned. The building is indeed very similar to those ancient buildings in the West, with a sacred feeling. Similarly, the gate of the palace is also open, and it looks empty inside, as if there is no one. It seems that Duke Seleto was leaving in a hurry before, and even a lot of military supplies are still here and there is no time to take them away.
Ye Junwen also waved his hand and asked the soldiers to search here everywhere to see if there were any fish that escaped from Duke Seleto, and then cleaned up the place. It was a bit too messy at the moment. Ye Junwen and the others came to the main hall of the palace to wait. It was obvious that the main hall was used as the temporary command post of Duke Seleto's troops before, so the side was relatively clean.
The search of the palace lasted for a while, and Ye Junwen also received a lot of reports. First of all, the ministers of the palace were most of them locked up in the prison after the city was broken, and Duke Seleto had no time to deal with them, so they were still there now. Some ministers had not had dinner for three days when they were discovered, and some had died due to the harsh environment. Ye Junwen didn't say anything, rescued them all and treated them for the time being.
On the other side, the servants of the palace were also found. They were detained in a nearby noble manor. They were taken care of by the soldiers before, but now the soldiers have all run away, and many of them have followed them, but many of them have stayed to wait for the situation. Since they have discovered it, Ye Junwen also asked them to come back and just put them in the palace.
