Chapter 237: Rewards for Merit and
the Fall of the Queen’s Logistics Pass was earth-shattering news for the Northern Army.
The 100,000-strong army at the front collapsed on the spot when they saw the dark smoke column rising from behind.
Including Ste-Nimi.
He stared blankly at the black smoke column rising into the sky. After a long time, he picked up the communication stone and said: "Surrender, alas."
The 100,000-strong army put down their weapons.
This great victory directly caused the city of Kexilan to be overcrowded.
The prison is too small to fit in, not at all.
In the end, the prisoners were allowed to chop down trees and build simple wooden houses outside, and then they were reluctantly locked up.
This great victory gave the Southern Army a surge of momentum on all fronts, causing the Northern Army to voluntarily abandon at least 30 kilometers of defense lines and retreat to areas they considered safe.
The Southern Army took back three important strategic towns in one fell swoop.
New York City.
The whole city entered a state of carnival, and even the gray orcs were allowed to take to the streets to play. One can imagine the significance of this victory to the southern faction.
One hundred thousand prisoners.
New York was crazy for five days, and it was not until the sixth day that people gradually calmed down from the ecstasy.
Hardy also brought his army back to station near New York City. Next, they will take over Louisian County.
The new king, Arianna Rommel, secretly received Hardy, Mrs. Sissi, and Andrew.
The four of them were sitting in the small room, and everyone was happy.
"Thank you three for your help." Arianna Rommel raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Next, it's our Southern Army's turn."
The four people's wine glasses clinked together.
Madam Sissi just took a sip and stopped drinking.
No one forced her to drink.
After all, she is now the apparent head of the Jeanne family, and no one dares to look down upon her casually.
Andrew put down his glass and asked: "King Rommel, what do you think of those 100,000 prisoners?"
Arianna thought for a while and said: "We are short of people in the south, and I plan to keep all these people." , slowly change them and make them become southerners."
"It's a bit difficult." Andrew said with some expectation: "After all, they should all have family members in the north."
"I will introduce a series of policies to help them integrate Come south." Ariana smiled.
He knew that Andrew was interested in those prisoners and wanted to take away a group of them.
But there is really a shortage of people in the south, and the gray orcs are not considered human.
Seeing that the king had no intention of letting go, Andrew could only sigh.
At this time, Arianna turned around and asked: "Your Excellency Hardy, what are your plans next?"
"Of course it is to build Louisian County." Hardy said while drinking wine: "At most we only have In half a year, half a year later, the Northern Army will definitely make a comeback."
Ariana seemed to be relieved when he heard what Hardy said: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Hardy."
"It doesn't matter, this is also helping myself." Then ha Di turned to look at Andrew: "Next, how about we each leave three thousand people on the March defense line?"
"No problem." Andrew Spencer's face was full of excitement: "But I have to return to China to accept the canonization, so Those three thousand people will be temporarily managed by our country's young generals."
Andrew has opened up territory for Kaldor and fulfilled the centuries-old wish of the Kaldor people.
Therefore, the award he received is particularly real.
Not only was he granted a large territory in the country, he was even directly promoted from marquis to duke.
He went back to attend the medal ceremony.
"Congratulations." Hardy toasted to him.
Andrew and Hardy clinked their glasses and said with a smile, "Your reward will certainly be great."
"That's natural." Mrs. Sissi looked at Hardy and smiled softly.
Both of them realized something. After all, they had experienced too much, and their eyes became a little funny. They feel that under such circumstances, it does not seem to matter whether Hardy is rewarded or not.
The dinner for four lasted until midnight, and many special verbal contracts were reached between the four.
After the dinner, Hardy took Mrs. Sissi to stay in a hotel.
The two female players naturally followed.
Then Nicai spent the night in the corridor outside, and at the same time was passively listened to in the corner all night.
The next day, I had the dark circles again.
On the contrary, Madame Sissi and Alice were both radiant and energetic.
Then Hardy led the army across the mountains and entered Louisian County.
took over this place.
Louisian County is very large, almost one-third of the land area of France.
It also has a ten-kilometer border with France, which can be said to be an excellent place for development.
On this day, Hadi took the initiative to convene a general meeting.
After everyone arrived, he looked around and found that there were a few familiar faces missing, so he could only sigh softly in his heart.
There is no way, some people will die in war.
"The North-South War is not over yet, but our local battle is over." Hadi said with a smile: "This time, we not only made a lot of money, but also a lot of land. Next, we will reward you based on your merits. Those who take money take money, and those who want land take land. Of course... for the same military exploits, the land obtained in China will be much smaller. If the land is taken in Louisian County, it will be twice the area. I am willing to take the land in Lu Those who are knights or minor lords in Yisian County, please raise your hands."
No one raised their hands.
Everyone likes to be at home, not in a place like this that needs to be developed.
Hardy waited for a while and found that Xixi raised his hand.
"I am willing to stay in Louisiana County." Xixi raised her hand.
Hardy nodded.
In fact, it didn't matter to him whether anyone wanted to stay in Louisian County.
After all, this is fertile soil, and he has no problem eating it all by himself.
However, some generals were puzzled and asked, "Why are you willing to stay here, Bing Xixi?"
"There are gray orcs here to help with the work." Bing Xixi smiled and said, "You can save a lot of money. What you save is what you earn. It's here."
As soon as this was said, everyone felt it made sense.
They also know how wealthy the southerners of Ajiaka are.
This is all the result of the gray orcs.
If I could have hundreds of gray orcs to help me with the work, and be rewarded with double the land, then... I would feel happy just thinking about it.
So, a dozen more people raised their hands and said they wanted to stay in Louisian County.
Considering that the Northern Army is very likely to come back in half a year, Hardy will provide certain subsidies to those who are willing to stay in Louisian County.
Moreover, if these people stayed, they would be considered his vassals, so he would naturally have to treat them better.
After all, those who work in the future will be vassals.
How could a lord work so hard and do everything by himself?
At this meeting, everyone was laughing.
After all, who wouldn't be happy if the land was divided and the money was divided.
After the meeting ended, Mrs. Sissi found Hardy and said, "I want to go back to Boris. Can you escort me back?"
"Of course there is no problem." Hardy took her hand and kissed her gently. The smooth back of her hand: "My beloved Queen."
Madam Sissi's eyes were full of tenderness.
She is going back this time to ascend the throne and become the new queen.
The old king has died long ago. Although the king's position is temporarily taken by the eldest prince, the agreed time is enough. Their whole family has to go to live on a small island somewhere.
Winning this big battle and expanding the territory, Mrs. Sissi's reputation in the country is enough.
