After killing the orc legend, the intensity of the battle has been reduced a lot.
Maybe the orcs were completely hurt by the beating, or maybe the orcs were not ready yet, so several orc armies chose to retreat.
Before August, the orcs had retreated to the northern part of the Eagle Mountains, ending the war two months early.
In this Orc invasion war, although the Grant Kingdom suffered a lot of losses, the Harland family ushered in greater development. Not only did they swallow up more than 9,000 people, but they also acquired a group of Orc slaves.
After many battles, Richard accumulated nearly seven great achievements.
William also undertook key battles and won three major merits and eight medium merits.
William has been a sixth-level professional for many years. He had been accumulating meritorious service in order to become a hereditary noble. He did not even redeem the advanced breathing method. This time, he exchanged it for the seventh-level professional breathing method.
After several months of arduous fighting, the Northern Army suffered considerable losses. Two brigades were wiped out by the orcs, and three brigades were severely damaged. Counting scattered casualties, the number of troops was reduced by more than 8,000.
Except for the Northern Army, the Flying Eagle Army was almost completely wiped out. The two armies of the Grizzly Bear and Mad Lion suffered a total of 6,000 casualties.
Two or three years may not be enough to replenish battle losses.
After the war, King Charles had issued an edict, requiring the hereditary nobles in other areas of the Grant Kingdom to fulfill their obligations and deploy troops to replenish war losses.
Each barony must recruit thirty soldiers, and also require a noble man to serve in the army to supplement the central army in the three northern provinces.
As for the great nobles such as the four northern dukes, they can only rely on themselves to make up for their losses.
After this war, the political situation in the northern Xinjiang region also changed, and two hereditary nobles appeared on the stage of the Grant Kingdom.
The brave and warlike prince Roger was granted the title of hereditary earl in northern Xinjiang. His territory was located near the Dukedom of Jonathan.
The Roger Earl Territory covers an area of 27,000 square kilometers. Most of it is territory directly under the royal family, and a small part is the unclaimed land in the north of the Eagle Mountains.
If Roger can establish a foothold in the new territory, he can become a rival with the Duke of Jonathan, and the eastern defense line will become more solid.
Donnie Martins, who was extremely lucky, was awarded the title of hereditary earl for killing the legendary orc.
In fact, in that battle that day, many mid-level and high-level professionals took action, and even William participated in that day's battle.
But Martins was the strongest and made the greatest contribution. He also grabbed the head and completed the final blow to kill the legendary quilboar.
Martins is the commander of the Northern Army. His background is relatively ordinary. His grandfather was promoted to a hereditary baron, and his father is not the first heir. Martins is very low in the inheritance order. He has been developing in the military since he became an adult. He is a man with 40 years of military service.
Six-year veteran.
In his early years, Martins served as a junior officer in the Norland Guards and became Prince Charles' bodyguard.
After Charles became king, he continued to promote him, and Martins lived up to expectations. He showed his ability in the war and controlled the Northern Army.
After fighting in the Northern Army for many years, Martins accumulated enough military exploits to become a hereditary baron more than ten years ago.
I thought that my whole life would pass like this, but I didn't expect that when I was old, I could go one step further and become a great nobleman of the Grant Kingdom, achieving another class leap.
This transition is more difficult than becoming a hereditary baron.
This life experience is enough to be praised for many years.
After fighting this battle, Donnie Martins has become a famous general in Grant Kingdom.
The growth of a famous general is a long-term accumulation process.
Only those who have fought important battles can be called a famous general.
Although there were many generals in the Grant Kingdom who could win battles, there were only three who could be called famous generals.
The first is Duke Jonathan of the North. He fought a key victory twenty years ago, annihilating two orc legions and beheading 60,000 orcs. That battle was also his legendary battle.
The second famous general is a member of the Grant royal family, the Grand Duke of Brenner.
Grand Duke Brenner is also a legendary knight. He is the brother of King Charles' great-grandfather, King Ron. He is now over 160 years old and commanded the pioneering war a hundred years ago.
This old Duke is the biggest pillar of the royal family and the first Duke of the Duke of York.
Now Duke Brenner has settled in Norland, and his eldest grandson is the contemporary Duke of York. Although the Duke is older, he is still strong and strong. He often participates in meetings of the nobility and mediates conflicts between the nobility. Even King Charles wants to see his face.
.
Compared with the above two famous generals, the title of Count Martins' famous general is slightly less prestigious.
But the battles he commanded this year were also very beautiful. First, he severely damaged the main orc army under the Black River Castle, and then killed the leader of the orc army, the ninth-level werewolf Vader, in a pursuit battle.
Then he led troops to invade the Orc Empire, attacked a large number of Orc tribes, and captured tens of thousands of Orc slaves.
During the retreat, a trap was also set and the legendary quilboar was killed.
This battle was quite beautiful, it was the battle where Count Martins was promoted to a famous general.
The Earldom of Martins is located in the Gascoigne Province, bordering the Dukedom of Edward. It covers an area of 60,000 square kilometers, but does not have many people.
There is almost no development in this territory. Most of it is the desolate and idle territory of the Gascoigne Province, and the other half is located in the north of the Eagle Mountains. It can be regarded as a buffer area between the Grant Kingdom and the orcs.
Count Martins has served as the commander of the Northern Army for many years and is considered to be in a high position.
He has been stationed in the prosperous area of Heihe Fort all year round and accumulated a large amount of funds.
However, developing a county requires millions of gold coins, and the few gold coins in Count Martins' hands are far from enough.
In order to raise funds to develop the territory, Count Martins issued territory development bonds at Black River Fort, mainly selling them to soldiers of the Northern Army.
It's a pity that no one is optimistic about the prospects of the Earldom of Martins. Even though the interest on the bonds is relatively high, not many bonds have been sold.
Tens of thousands of gold coins are a huge sum of money for a barony, but for an earldom, they are a drop in the bucket.
Even Richard's father, William, bought a 2,000 gold coin bond out of respect for his superiors and officers.
As for whether the bonds can be redeemed for interest, William actually doesn't care.
The two thousand gold coins are actually used to make favors and please the old chief. Now Count Martins has greatly increased his voice in the noble council. If he can say a word to the Harland family, the territory can be divided slightly better.
With William's remaining military exploits and Richard's accumulated military exploits, the Harland family is not far away from being granted a second territory.
If there are connections from the upper level to help with a few words, the territorial division will be more advantageous.
In order to develop the territory as quickly as possible, Count Martins also invested in the purchase of 30,000 orc slaves. In his territory, the number of orcs exceeded that of humans, which was also a great wonder in the Grant Kingdom.
