Chapter 290 Scraping the ground, Senbo, asking for help
Two days later, the "Bloody Mary" No. 1 Wolf Cavalry Squadron and Naga Zhukov quietly sailed out of Rheinburg under the leadership of the Dayun. Since this was the first peripheral area battle, Moriarty was cautious and personally
Sitting on the goblin airship, of course, the on-the-spot command was still given to Clausewitz.
"Inform Toraf that the Vida Manor is ahead. According to the magic sand table detection, there are only a small team of little devils entrenched in the manor. Order him to attack immediately and be sure not to let any one go."
Through the semaphore, Clausewitz's instructions were quickly and accurately conveyed to the ground. Immediately, the Wolf Cavalry Squadron burst into cheers, which was the horn of the Beamon soldiers before welcoming the glorious battle. Then, the Wolf Cavalry formed a line,
Like a rushing torrent, it sprints towards a distant target.
Just a moment later, before the little devils in the manor could react, the First Wolf Cavalry Squadron roared into the messy village. Then, a snow-like sword light appeared one after another, and each devil received or lost its arm.
Like harvested fruits and vegetables, they fell to the ground. The dirty blood, accompanied by cries of pain, "whitewashed" the already bone-ridden village as if it were a ghost land.
Just ten minutes later, all the little devils in the manor had been cleared away. The wolf cavalry, which had an absolute advantage, suffered zero casualties, and some of the lagging wolf cavalry had not even had the opportunity to use their swords.
After the safety of the battlefield was thoroughly confirmed, the Dayun slowly landed in the open space in front of the village. Then, a large number of strong human laborers, led by several trainee stewards, quickly ran out of the airship, and then plunged into the village and began to search.
Rush to transport all kinds of materials that can still be used. Of course, judging from the appearance of the scene, there are no human survivors, so there is no need to worry about this.
Considering that "searching for land" would take a long time, the First Wolf Cavalry Squadron divided into two teams to serve as a warning line of defense outside the village.
"It seems that everything went well." Stepping off the airship, Moriarty looked at a few human apprentices who were planning a temporary storage yard in the open space nearby, and nodded with satisfaction.
"A wolf-riding squadron is naturally like a lion fighting a rabbit against a dozen little demons. But we must also be prepared to encounter an established demon army later. After all, we only have one 'Bloody Mary'. Once there are casualties, it will be difficult to replace them."
It's over." Clausewitz followed Moriarty and reminded him in a deep voice.
"Well, you have full authority to direct the next operation. If you can eat it easily, don't be polite. If you find a hard nut to crack, come back and call for help. Just ensure your own mobility and don't get trapped in a tight siege or die. The battlefield
The initiative will always be in our hands." Moriarty smiled slightly. Then he strolled towards the village, and the old werewolf followed immediately.
The Vida Manor had been the direct territory of the Royanta family before. It was famous for its high-quality oats and grains. But now it is dead. The entire village is full of ruins, and corpses that have been eaten and chewed can be seen everywhere. The air is even more filled with...
There is a pungent odor that makes people nauseous.
"Let our people be careful not to touch the bones of the deceased to prevent plague diseases. After everyone returns to Rheinburg, they should wash their bodies in isolation as soon as possible, cut off their hair, and do not bring poisonous insects such as lice into the castle.
"
After a catastrophic disaster, the most important thing for the soldiers is to prevent epidemics. Moriarty does not want to send serious infectious diseases such as plague and dengue fever into his base camp while searching for supplies. Otherwise, with the existing sanitary conditions and chaos and complexity,
Once the population in the fort becomes sick, it may be difficult to control.
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
Clausewitz was an old soldier, so he naturally understood that plague and disease were the enemy of the army. Sometimes after a battle, more soldiers died by the sword than died at the hands of the disease.
"Sir, we have found the grain depot!" At this time, a young trainee steward excitedly ran to Moriarty's side and bowed with a happy face.
"Oh? How's the situation inside?" Moriarty raised his eyebrows.
Vida Village is an important production town, so this place is set as the first target of the clearing operation. It is self-evident that its purpose is directly towards food. Even the food reserves in Rheinburg's reserve are still sufficient, and several allies have joined forces one after another.
support supplies, but during the war, no one would complain about having too much food in their hands. Moreover, Olympus plans to further expand its army in the next step to seize greater benefits in the follow-up military operations of the Quad Alliance, so now as long as it can accumulate
Moriarty would never miss an opportunity to stockpile supplies.
"After a rough count, the total amount is about 20,000 bushels. However, because the peripheries of some grain stacks have been violently damaged, the flour etc. inside are affected by moisture, and some are moldy and insect-eaten." The trainee steward quickly reported.
"Twenty thousand bushels? That's pretty good. Arrange for people to rush to transport them immediately. They must be shipped before dark. As for the spoiled parts, ignore them for the time being. In addition, let's take a look at the grain storage situation in each house.
Da Manor is a rich village, and all the farmers should have had surplus food before the demon invaded." Moriarty nodded and gave instructions. The trainee steward was extremely excited when he received a compliment, and immediately agreed to do the work.
"Your Excellency, it seems that our assumptions are not wrong. Demons are only interested in fresh flesh and blood, and will not eat flour, grains and other coarse grains unless absolutely necessary." Clausewitz on the side also rarely showed a smile.
"Well, for these ownerless things, we will take them harmlessly. However, if we encounter other human resistance forces in the wild later, there will be no problem in collecting them, but their personal belongings should not be touched." Moriarty nodded.
Head, and take care of the road.
"yes."
Just like in Rheinburg now, although the newly arrived refugees are basically classified as serfs and servants, they only temporarily lose their freedom and need to serve Olympus in exchange for rations and survival opportunities, but they all belong to them
However, their personal property has not been confiscated or confiscated. Regarding this point, even the most unruly and aggressive elements have to admit that Rheinburg is much more humane than the other three great noble families.
It was busy until about the afternoon, and the entire Vida Manor seemed to have been carefully combed through with a fine-toothed comb. All the food, iron tools, farm tools and a few coins that could be found were moved to Dayun one by one.
No. As for the remaining farmhouses, rough furniture, heavy wood, etc., they are not within the scope of the sweep and will continue to stay in place to be reused after the end of the anti-magic war.
According to the prior agreement, all the young porters traveling with the boat can receive an extra ration reward based on a proportion of the "final harvest". Therefore, although it is hard work and dangerous, no one has any complaints, but is looking forward to the next trip.
You can also get the opportunity of such a "business trip" to make extra money for yourself and your family.
Before nightfall, the airship had safely returned to Rheinburg, and the 1st Wolf Cavalry Squadron and Naga on the ground also arrived later. Even after being out for a day, Zhukov had no chance to take action, and he couldn't help but feel like he was on a boring outing.
In the next few weeks, Rheinburg's clearing force would be dispatched every other day or two. Of course, they were all going back and forth on the same day, and their results and gains were mixed. Overall, they were satisfactory. They also occasionally searched.
We went to some human resistance forces and survivors hiding in remote villages or wilderness, and brought them back with the airship.
Of course, these human beings who have survived the slaughter of demons to this day are basically young and strong warriors or regular soldiers. There are no old, weak, women or children. And after endless fighting and killing, these human beings basically have the ability to
They have about two levels of warrior strength. Therefore, after Moriarty discussed with White and others, they directly added these people into the ranks of the Olympus regular army. Some of them will even be trained with outstanding qualifications.
And just when the entire clearing operation was successfully completed and almost at its final stage, one evening, along with the returning 1st Wolf Cavalry Squadron, an unexpected guest came to pay homage to the new master of Rheinburg with great joy.
"My lord, I am Lord Sember's family knight Hailuk. I salute you!"
A middle-aged man wearing damaged iron armor stood respectfully in front of Moriarty. Although he was only a fifth-level warrior, the strong bloody aura emanating from his body was enough to impress him.
"Lord Sember?" Moriarty nodded, then glanced at Hadro who was standing aside.
"Lord Senbo has been a vassal of the 'Guluo Yanta Family' for generations, and his territory is close to my family. However, because of its remote location and many mountains and forests blocking it, it has never been very prosperous." Immediately, the old steward said to him.
The Lord explained softly.
"Lord Hadro?"
Obviously, Hai Luk knew the old steward, but he didn't dare to speak easily just now. Now he saw that he was serving the young superior in front of him like a slave, Hai Luk finally couldn't help but whispered.
"it's me."
Hadro glanced at the middle-level knight with a normal expression, and the latter lowered his head in defeat under the old man's stern gaze. Even if Hadro did not have any professional level, as long as he had been in the Royenta system
The "own people" who have been immersed in it all fear and respect the old man's iron-fisted style in the past.
"Perhaps you don't know yet, so the Loyanta family has been exterminated, and he is also my new lord." Taking a step forward, Hadro said loudly to Heiluk.
"What? Genocide? Ensberg?"
As if he was even more shocked than when he heard the news of the demonic invasion a year ago, the middle-level knight raised his head again and looked at the old man in a daze.
"Yes. Not only did Lord Moriarty take the lead in leading a powerful army to regain Rheinburg, but he has also been recognized by Viscount Salk, Viscount Melilan, and Baron Ensberg, and has formed a solid four-party alliance with them.
The counterattack against the demon army will begin soon." After saying this, Hadro narrowed his old eyes slightly: "Do you have any opinions on this?"
"Opinion... No! I don't dare!" Hai Luke was also a member of the noble circle after all, and he immediately reacted and knelt down on one knee to Moriarty who was sitting high on him: "Sir, please send troops as soon as possible.
