When Aaron saw his men rushing into the castle with the prisoners and more of the people, as if they were transformed into wild beasts, he knew that he had won today.
When the sun rose high, the news that Davis Castle had been breached had spread throughout the neighborhood.
Many local residents with their faces covered turned into thugs and joined the feast.
He just guarded the gate of the castle and refused to let the thugs enter the castle. He explored hall after hall, discovered secret passages after secret passages, fought with the enemy and even removed every iron nail on the gate.
"It's almost..."
Looking at the messy castle, Aaron asked Sanchez and others to follow him into the hall.
There were bloodstains everywhere on the corridor. If his people were to force their way in, they would suffer heavy losses.
But at this time, among the fallen corpses, there were very few of Aaron's men.
From various rooms, screams and laughter continued to be heard, and several gangsters with wine bottles in their hands were wandering around the hall wantonly. They were covered in various silks, and some were simply torn down curtains.
The bandits subconsciously divided into many groups and confronted each other, but they did not dare to confront the regular army.
"In order to capture the castle as quickly as possible, my loot will be reduced a lot..."
Aaron thought to himself as he came to the depths of the castle.
This is the share he deserves. Those areas where thugs dare not touch, those who dare to touch have already turned into corpses.
At this time, behind a door, the suppressed crying sound of a young woman came out.
When the men present heard this, they knew what was going on, and a playful smile appeared on their faces.
"I remember I said that the spoils of war will be distributed equally among the women!"
Aaron's face suddenly darkened. He knew the moral character of his subordinates, and it was impossible for him to order and prohibit them.
But such blatant disobedience to orders will lead to a decrease in the combat effectiveness of his men. If everyone does this, they will quickly lose their advantage as a regular army, unable to suppress the mob, and may not be able to get out of this territory!
Snap!
Aaron stepped forward with a cold face and kicked open the door.
Inside the door is obviously a lady's boudoir, with bed curtains made of silk and satin, covering the large velvet bed.
At this time, several corpses of thugs were dumped on the ground, and there was also a man who was taking off his clothes. He saw Aaron and quickly lifted his pants, with a sly smile suddenly appearing on his face: "Boss, listen.
I explain...it wasn't me, it was the mob."
"Yeah, you didn't do it, but you were about to do it..."
Aaron stepped forward directly and used the scabbard to whip eight fingers and one whip.
Snap!
Eight Finger shook his body, and a red mark immediately appeared on his back.
He continued to step forward, opened the curtain with his sword, and saw a crying face: "Sylvie Davis?"
This is the only daughter of Lord Davis, and also the fiancée of Colin, the heroine who caused this war.
Aaron had met her at the engagement ceremony and remembered that she was a very proud woman, but now...
"Bring this woman with you, she may be useful."
Aaron didn't care about the woman's condition, he directly gave the order and asked: "Where is Mrs. Anna?"
"That woman was hacked to death next door, along with several children!"
Eight Fingers replied with great pity, it would be nice if the adults came a little later.
As for the heir to Lord Davis, he is fighting with Lord Davis on the frontline battlefield.
"Take all the harvest and let's leave here. We must get on the big boat before noon!"
Aaron nodded, took a look at the body, and gave the order.
Even if someone reports that there are troops on the front line returning to support, it will still take time. As long as you get on the boat and go down the river, you will definitely be able to escape!
Anyway, he would never defend the castle, die with the enemy army, and then take advantage of Colin.
That's unrealistic!
…
When the sun reached the center of the sky, the two ships had already set sail.
"If Father is sharp enough, he should have been prepared after receiving my letter... and the chaos of the enemy's army is the best sign."
"If we seize the opportunity, we should be able to end this war completely."
Aaron Sotos stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the boxes of captured loot and thinking to himself.
Let the war end as soon as possible, the fewer people will die.
In comparison, today's sacrifice is nothing.
If the war continues, ten or a hundred times more people may die than today!
"However, my biggest purpose is still for myself."
Aaron heard low sobs, which came from those young women, who were all "trophies", including the maids in the castle and the slightly pretty nuns. After all, Aaron was working as a group of animals.
Of course, there is another jewel among them - Sylvie Davis.
He had a hunch that this woman would be quite useful.
"And from now on, the war has nothing to do with me."
Aaron let out a sigh of relief.
…
Widow's Bay Campground.
Two ships docked outside the camp, and a group of cheerful robbers were excitedly preparing to divide the loot.
"I plan to divide the loot this time into three parts. One part will be handed over to the lord, one part will belong to me, and the other part will be divided among you!"
Aaron Sotos took a pen and paper and began to distribute the spoils.
Because there were too many things, including livestock and women, it was a bit messy for a while.
"Besides... all the books and stuff belong to me."
Aaron picked up a book. It was bound with papyrus and was almost falling apart.
After all, before he invented the papermaking workshop, papyrus was the most commonly used paper in the Green Forest. This kind of paper was not as good as parchment. The only advantage was that it was cheaper. Later, it was completely defeated by the new paper and was withdrawn from the market.
However, before the operation of the papermaking workshop, precious parchment was rarely used, so most books were still made of papyrus.
"As you wish, my lord!"
He bowed with eight fingers.
"Don't think you can escape the whip this way."
Aaron snorted coldly. As a punishment for disobeying military orders, although the evil deed was not successful, a whip was still indispensable.
He was rummaging through a box full of papers, and suddenly moved his hand and took out a parchment. He immediately knew that the information recorded on it must be quite valuable.
After putting away the parchment without leaving a trace, he pointed to the box containing silver coins and copper coins: "Divide it, the team leader will take double portions. In addition, those who want women and livestock will have their shares reduced!"
After coming up with a generally fair distribution plan, Aaron ignored the carnival of his men, returned to his tent, and began to study the previous parchment.
After opening it, a black map appeared.
"It turns out it's a map."
A look of interest appeared in Aaron's eyes. He looked at the map and found that one-third of the upper half of the map was forest, with the appearance of "Green Forest" marked on it.
Then, at the bottom of the map, there are castles guarding all convenient transportation points, forming a kingdom.
'The Kingdom of Kargash...the real master who rules this land, I have heard of its name...'
'However, in the minds of the people of that kingdom, we Green Forest people are probably just barbaric monkeys living in the forest, right?'
