Volume 7 Mortals and Gods Chapter 782 Destruction (6)
"Well, I mean, His Majesty Katalin Khan has also formed a Guards Army to replace his lost grassland guards. The soldiers are selected from the army. The requirements are to be tall, handsome, and equipped with
Standard equipment obtained from Shire."
Jerod sounded helpless: "Okay, let's change our name to Catalin Guards."
"Go on, Jarrod, go on."
Duke Otus stretched out his hand to signal Gerold to continue. He glanced at Iros and saw that Iros was frowning at the map and thinking about something, while Fiona next to him simply looked like she was in a daze, so she had no choice but to do it herself.
Opening:
"Go on."
"The grassland army that had crossed the river should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue the remnants of Zan'ek. However, this army with insufficient training and broken military discipline disbanded on its own. The reason was that there were originally a large number of orc camps in Lachhof, and there were many plunderers in them.
The soldiers quickly lost their formation and vigilance and began to loot the loot and supplies."

After Jerrod finished speaking a long paragraph, he couldn't help but take a breath and picked up the cup to drink water.
Everyone in the big tent looked at me and I looked at you, and they all sighed helplessly. Everyone looked at Fiona, waiting for the Grand Duchess to speak.
"Actually, this battle was fought without too many problems."
Fiona thought for a while, put her fists on the table, and sighed:
"The real reason for the failure is the absolute low quality of Katalin Khan's army. In fact, if it were me or Iros, this battle should not have been fought at all. When the quality gap is huge, contact with the enemy should be avoided as much as possible.
"
"Then what should we do now? Katalin Khan's army has been basically destroyed. After such a failure, this army is no longer of use."
Duke Sarkozy still considered the issue from a military perspective as always: "An army can fail, but it cannot suffer such a devastating defeat when it is first formed."
Duke Otto considered the issue from internal affairs:
"Fiona, do you still plan to continue to help the grassland people regain their homeland? I think the current situation is enough. The army has begun to tire, and many people are eager to return to their hometown."
Iros hesitated for a moment and then said: "Fiona, how should Marshal Rokossovsky deal with it? Do I need to pay?"

Fiona pondered over the question, then she shook her head:
"The homeland of the grassland people cannot be recovered for the time being. Our current troops are insufficient, but I plan to restore the northern border of Erengrad. At least, we must open up trade with the northern grasslands!"
"trading!"
Everyone in the big tent originally didn't want to continue the fight, but when they heard the word trade, everyone, even Sarkozy, couldn't help but feel excited. The profits from trade with the grasslands were too huge.
"So, do we want other empires to participate?" Duke Otto couldn't help but speak. He is the most sensitive to interests: "This is such a big piece of cake!"
"Can we, Ciel, eat it ourselves?"
As soon as Fiona heard what Otto said, she knew that Otto meant monopoly, and the Grand Duchess simply complained:
"There must be enough channels for re-export trade. Without the Southern Empire, we cannot digest such a large share. We still need to let other empires join in."
Everyone couldn't help but nod. Indeed, there are millions of people on the grassland, and such a large share of trade is indeed difficult to swallow. So the most ideal partner for cooperation with Shire is the Albrex Empire.
"So, what should Rokossovsky do?" Sarkozy then asked: "Do we really have to spend 2,000 gold galleons to buy his death row status as Katalin Khan said?
?”
"2000?" Fiona sneered a few times, and she stretched out her hand to compare a number:
"500, no more, and told him that if he wants money, he must first issue a declaration to open Constantine's nationality so that we can help him obtain Shire nationality."
"This condition is a bit harsh..." Jerrod couldn't help but said.
"It's a little harsh."
A terrible chill appeared on Fiona's face, and the Grand Duchess stood up:
"But I think, I'm afraid Katalin Khan no longer has the ability to force anything. He is an incompetent person. We clearly gave him the opportunity to continue to be the Khan, but he didn't cherish it. Now Erengrad no longer needs a puppet.
Already."
Everyone in the big tent couldn't help but laugh. Yes, after Katalin Khan sacrificed his last bit of capital, he was already a weak ruler who allowed himself to be eaten by mermaids.
"Okay, let's stop here for today's meeting."
"Let me go see the envoy of Peter I and see what he plans to talk to me about."
