Standing at the port smelling the fishy sea breeze, Jim frowned slightly.
He doesn't like the smell very much, it makes him feel uncomfortable.
Although a large part of the Marton Principality is on the coast, he has not been very interested in seafood since he was a child. Every time he comes to the port and smells the smell, he will feel more or less uncomfortable.
However, he didn't show it. After all, as a crown prince, he still needs his image. Showing disgust for his own territory would really hurt morale.
An officer, about thirty years old, was standing next to him and reporting the general situation to him:
"A total of 76,445 captured enemy troops have been transported to the port. Only 23 of them were not injured, 35,525 were slightly injured, and 40,897 were seriously injured. Of these more than 40,000 seriously injured, 3,221 are in critical condition at any time.
He may have died, and it is speculated that he may not be able to survive being transported to Damobis Island. As for transportation, we have mobilized various nearby ships and can complete the transportation within about eight days."
After hearing this, Jem was quite satisfied with the data, so he nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, just save those who can be saved, and forget about those who can't be saved. Just make sure that there are more than 70,000 living people logged into Mobis Island."
But, the rest has nothing to do with you."
Seeing that his immediate superior did not indicate that there was a problem, the other party also let out a sigh of relief.
However, after hesitating for a while, he still persuaded: "Your Highness, in fact, I don't think it is so troublesome to place these prisoners. Some simpler methods can still achieve the effect. Transporting them to a desert island is really a bit difficult.
A waste of manpower and material resources.”
Not only did he think this way, many of his colleagues were also quite puzzled when they heard that Jem was planning to transport tens of thousands of prisoners to the overseas desert island Mobis and let them play desert island survival. They couldn't understand this at all.
What meaning could it have.
Even if they are kept locked up until the Principality of Yal pays to redeem them, it is better than this!
In response to his persuasion, Jem just shook his head calmly and said nothing more.
During these times, it wasn't like there weren't others trying to persuade him, and he was a little tired of hearing it.
If possible, he didn't want to use this method to deal with the prisoners, but he had no choice.
The reason couldn't be explained to others at all, so he was helpless.
Seeing that Jem Watts didn't want to pay attention to him, the general could only sigh and leave silently.
Look at the scene in front of you.
Unlike those generals, it is unclear why Jem Watts did what he did.
Baron Duke understood that those who landed on Mobis Island were not there to survive on a desert island or be imprisoned at a distance, but to be sacrificed. It was basically impossible for them to come out alive, so after thinking about it,
He suggested softly:
"Your Highness, when the Principality of Yar sent people to sign the compensation regulations not long ago, they came up with the idea of redeeming their soldiers. I think that although it is impossible for them to redeem all of them, the more important nobles can be redeemed.
, but it can make them pay some blood to get it back, and it can also avoid offending the noble forces of the Principality of Yar to death."
Regarding Duke's proposal, Jem waved his hand and directly rejected it:
"No need, there is no saying whether you will be punished by death or not.
Since the war started, they are considered enemies. Even if they have signed the compensation clause, their essential stance will not change.
Although those captured nobles cannot be said to be fatal to the Principality of Yar, once they die, the entire aristocratic power of the Principality of Yar will be set back about ten years. Although it will make them particularly hostile to us, it will also
It will definitely cause a conflict between them and the Yar royal family, which is leading this war, which is of extremely important significance to our country, which is hostile to them."
In Jim's mind, after this battle, the Principality of Yar will not be able to threaten the Principality of Marton again for at least twenty or thirty years. Although it is impossible to destroy it in one fell swoop in the face of the eager gaze of other principalities, he can let him go back to the mountain.
But even more impossible.
In this era, many principalities have experienced a long time and have a tacit understanding.
It's okay to cripple a principality, but if you want to destroy it, you will encounter many obstacles, so weakening it as much as possible is the maximum limit.
And those big nobles were the way he used to create trouble for the Principality of Yal...
As for how the process needs to work, we still have to think about it.
At the very least, you can't directly bear the reputation of sacrificing to the devil. You have to think of a good excuse for the death of those people...
Just as he was thinking about this problem, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
He looked up and saw that it was Harry, the commander of the Yal Principality's army, calling his name.
At this moment, Harry no longer had the high spirits he once had. He was covered in blood, handcuffed and legcuffed, and trapped in a separate prison car.
It's a high-end treatment worthy of a commander, with a small private room!
Although it was no different from being paraded in the streets, he could only accept the criticism from everyone, which made him feel sincerely angry.
Noticing Jem's gaze, he resisted the urge to strangle the onlookers and shouted: "Jem Watts, remember, the shame you brought me will one day be punished."
Give it back to you!”
Obviously, he still feels aggrieved about the fact that he lost inexplicably in a good situation.
"..."
My friend, you are going to die soon. I feel it is a shame that you cannot pay me back.
After standing there and hesitating for two seconds, Jim Watts' remaining conscience prevented him from taunting the other party, but gave him a meaningful look.
Seeing Harry being pushed onto the boat while shouting, Jim Watts, considering his status as a noble, held a moment of silence for him, then turned to Baron Duke and said, "You stay here to deal with it.
As for the remaining matters, let me tell the people below that the person who just yelled will be the first to be sent to Mobis Island."
'Although a generous person like me usually doesn't care about anything, as a nobleman and commander-in-chief, I think he should take the lead!'
Thinking of this, Jem felt that he felt a lot more comfortable. After all, it is impossible to be stingy. As a crown prince, how can he not have some measure?
So he mounted his war horse and prepared to return to the capital to attend the celebration.
There is still someone to take charge of the situation there, and as the crown prince, it is always good to show his face at this time.
--------
The next day, noon.
Jim Watts got up from the bed with a headache, covering his head.
Yesterday at the celebration, when faced with the siege and interception of hundreds of people, even though he had the strength of a great knight, he almost vomited on the spot.
In the end I just couldn’t drink anymore and I was scared to drink him!
Then he escaped through urine.
I just woke up now, and I just feel that my mouth is very bitter, with a herbal taste.
He knew that it was the sobering medicine given to him by the maid, otherwise he would have had to get out of bed in the afternoon.
To be honest, although his head hurt a little, he was in a good mood.
Because the defeat of the Principality of Yar was a major concern and the situation in the Principality of Marton was completely stabilized, that's why he drank so much wine yesterday. You should know that he usually hardly drinks.
Putting on his clothes, he habitually took out the knight's sword in the room and waved it twice. Feeling his somewhat sluggish state and feel when dancing the sword, he understood that until now, alcohol still had some effects, affecting his thinking and
Body.
Just when he wanted to do physical training for a while and recover, a sound of footsteps approaching the room quickly entered his ears.
His brows frowned subconsciously, because he said yesterday not to bother him if he had nothing to do today, and he wanted to take a day off.
And someone suddenly came to see him, which undoubtedly meant that there was trouble again.
It really made him feel a little sore...
But he also knew the priorities of the matter.
Without waiting for the other party to knock on the door, when the other party just stopped in front of the door, he directly asked: "What's the matter?"
The people outside the door were stunned for a moment, probably because they didn't expect Jem to wake up so soon.
Yesterday he drank too much wine. Ordinary people can only drink two or three small glasses of high-strength wine. He drank a whole bucket on the ground that was as high as an adult's knees.
If you are not very strong and your physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, you will have to lie down and let the doctors rescue you.
Facing Jem's inquiry, a female voice came from outside the door: "Your Highness, a bishop from the church came to the door with someone and said that there are very important things that need to be discussed with you. He also took out the church's emergency document.
.”
"Church? Urgent document?"
Jim was a little puzzled. He didn't understand what a bishop could do if he came to see him. Could it be that he wanted to build a large church in the royal capital?
A few years ago, a church bishop approached his father and hoped to build a church in the center of the royal capital.
Originally it was nothing. After all, you can build it if you want. Although our royal family doesn't like the church, we mostly turn a blind eye to this kind of thing and don't interfere much.
But the problem lies elsewhere.
That is, the other party hoped that the money for building the church would be borne by the royal family, which made the royal family feel incredible. Jem's father said on the spot, if this was hundreds of years ago when your church was at its peak, I would have tolerated it. After all,
You are the boss, but now you don’t look in the mirror, are you really treating us like pigs?
So they broke up immediately and broke up.
Thinking of this, Jim Watts felt a little disgusted, thinking that if they came to talk about the church again, he would send them away directly...
Since hundreds of years ago, the power of the mysterious side has begun to shrink significantly.
After several policy reforms and the promulgation of the King's Power Act, the royal family had difficulty dealing with the church.
The church wants to restore its past glory, make divine power higher than royal power, and rule everything!
And those of them who have made a comeback do not want to go back to the past!
This is undoubtedly an irreconcilable contradiction!
That is to say, both sides still have sense and know that there are other races trying to resurrect, otherwise humans will be able to fight for decades first.
The current rules of the Principality of Yar and the Principality of Marton, which only allow injuries and do not allow death, are the tacit understanding they have maintained over a long period of time.
Once things get into trouble, other forces will step in to stop it.
This is not only to prevent human beings from experiencing severe internal strife, but also to prevent anyone from being able to dominate the world.
'But with urgent documents in hand, it should be more than just building a church. Is it possible...'
Thinking of this, Jim Watts's expression began to change...
