Lord of War

  Shaun’s troops quickly evacuated this unknown forest with the corpses of the northern barbarians and those archers.

  William looked at the forest behind him, the original loneliness on his face turned into regret: "It's a pity that there are too few people."

In this world, everyone is eager to fight a classic battle that wins more with less, especially the Principality of Lane, because their thunderous Valkyrie relied on a classic victory with less than more talents and laid a solid foundation for the establishment of Tonys. foundation.

  That’s why Tonys is called Tonys, which means the place of hope in the old saying.

  But William’s command style is different. He can’t wait to have as many troops as possible. If he can use 1,000 men, he will never use 900 men, even if the enemy has only 100 men. Therefore, when his strength is not dominant and there are other options, he will never be so stupid to go head-to-head with the enemy, or try to fight a classic battle that wins more with less.

In William’s words, it is—“Success with less to win more is something that will only be done when there is nowhere to go. The world only knows the classics of winning with less to win more, but they never look squarely at that is occupying the right time and place. Victory in the context of harmony. But it’s no wonder that those people are ignorant, just because they really need a victory to strengthen their courage, so they don’t know that there are more times in this world when there are fewer people. That side was completely wiped out."

"So when I have a choice, I will never do this stupid thing. It's not that we can't afford to lose, but because we can afford to lose, the less we lose, the better, because the so-called victory is Relying on these small advantages and details in exchange for how many people have been on this chessboard through the ages, they have lost every step of the way."

  For William’s point of view, Sean actually agrees very much.

  In this world, wars and battles that win more with less have never been less, but people will always remember only those who succeeded, and forget those who failed. Even these successful battles do not even think about why they were successful.

  For example, the classic Asuna’s classic battle that he knows wins more with less.

In fact, Asuna raided the territory of a viscount with superior forces, and then took the strategic location of a baron through a blitzkrieg, then lured the opponent's coalition with weak forces to attack, and then raided the opponent's coalition with superior forces. After the base camp, relying on the advantages of equipment, the front and back flanking of the two armies, and the powerful strength of the three great magicians in their hands, they directly defeated the coalition army, and pursued and slaughtered them for two days and nights, forcing the earl to lose people and, We started a decisive battle with ourselves under the favorable geographical conditions, and finally had a time difference—before the coalition forces of the two viscounts and several barons arrived, they completely defeated the private army of the earl.

  In the entire battle, people only knew that Asuna had less than 30,000 troops at the time, but she easily defeated the 100,000 armies of the 18 nobles of the Darbion Kingdom. But they don’t know that Asuna dealt with 30,000 in the first war against 10,000, and in the subsequent blitzkrieg it was 20,000 against 5,000, and in the battle that showed the enemy’s weakness, Asuna There were only 23,000 troops left in his hand, but it was through bold tactics that he gained the advantage of Tianshihe Renhe and defeated the opponent's 40,000 coalition forces.

While persecuting the Count’s army of the Darby Ang Kingdom to start a decisive battle with herself, Asuna had already restored her army to the size of 30,000 through the collection, and then still fought against it under the condition of occupying the right place and people. The earl's 30,000 private army launched a decisive battle. After that, Asuna was a fully rested and supplied army of 30,000, and defeated the two viscounts and several barons from the front of the 15,000 who had been exhausted by the rapid march.

  This battle is indeed brilliant, and it is indeed a classic victory with less.

   But in fact, if it is analyzed through the battle report, it is that Asuna has a complete advantage in every local war. The real war of gambling nature is only a battle of 23,000 to 40,000, but even in this war, Asuna has several trump cards in her hand, so she started the war. From that moment on, she was never really at a disadvantage.

  As a result, William's regret that William said "too few people" revealed, Sean is understandable.

  Using a second-tier army with less than 150 people to fight a third-tier army with at least 500 people is a suicidal act no matter how you look at it.

  When Xiao En and others exited the forest, the other deputy commander of the Rovela garrison also showed a contemptuous look of mockery. In his opinion, so many people have been evacuated before, and this time they are still leaving with their bodies. It is obvious that it is a collapsed army that has been completely defeated and has lost the courage to continue fighting. For such an army, it is a " Of course, the "regular army" he has sufficient reasons and qualifications to be scorned and despised.

  But like this kind of clown, Sean, William, and Alfred don’t bother to bother at all. Of course, they were not maliciously guessing, what kind of expression would he look like when he saw that his forward army had less than two hundred dead?

  The team retreated quickly, but as soon as he returned to Loveland City, Sean saw the butler of Sir Paro again. Obviously the jazz is very concerned about the development of the battle, but at this time, how can Sean have time to deal with the jazz, he directly told the steward of the situation in the forest, and he would reply to the jazz, and even he would Very severely condemned the Sir Paro, saying that he did not truthfully tell the truth and the seriousness of the matter.

If Sir Paro really didn’t know the situation of the enemy army, Sean wouldn’t believe it if he was killed. If a city lord was really incompetent to this level, then Paro’s position would have been revoked by Earl Danawi. .

  The housekeeper's face changed a lot after hearing Xiao En's narration, and he returned to the city lord mansion for the first time.

  What happened next, Sean didn’t bother to pay attention to it. His commission was actually a loss-making business in a sense.

  In Loveland City, only one temple was built. Although the scale is not very luxurious, it is an absolute standard solemn building.

  Viennas, goddess of victory, a middle-class god.

  This is a **** born after the Age of Ashes. It is only because her godhood is war and victory that she can quickly have a large number of believers and become a middle **** who is about to charge a higher god.

  In fact, since the dusk of the gods, many higher gods have fallen or fell asleep, and the gods have also lost a lot. Therefore, new gods such as the **** of courage, the **** of war, and the goddess of victory will be born. But in fact, the godheads of these new gods all belong to the system of the laws of war, which means that these are the godheads of the ancient gods of war, but because the **** of war fell at the dusk of the gods, the gods were scattered, That's why so many new gods were born.

  At this moment, Anno is receiving treatment in the temple of the goddess of victory.

  Although his injuries were serious, the physique of the Northland Barbarian was sufficient to ensure that he would not die so quickly, only to faint due to excessive blood loss. But fortunately, Sean sent Anno back in time, and he was willing to spend money, so he completely saved Anno's life, but it is not something that can be solved in a short time if he wants to completely recover.

Although divine art can heal his injuries, the lost blood can only be ingested through nutritional supplements. Therefore, even if the injuries on his body are healed, he still needs to rest for a long time, just like Sean and others. The same happened to people on the way to the trading capital. But not everyone is as lucky as Anno. Although two severely wounded northern barbarians were sent back, they died from their injuries on the way. At this time, their bodies were placed at the entrance of the temple. .

  Sean frowned slightly, and he glanced at the corpses lying on the ground at the moment.

  This is not in the wild, and if the environment permits, Sean actually hopes to be able to bury them instead of directly cremating them. For the northern barbarians, leaving the ice region is a very happy thing, but it is also a very painful thing to have no land where they have a sense of belonging. In the tradition of the northern barbarians, only the dead people are buried. Only then can their souls be calmed down.

  Thinking about it, Xiao En said, "Can the body... be stored here temporarily?"

  Hearing what Shaun said, everyone was taken aback, storing the body in the temple? And it's the temple of the Goddess of Victory. What does Sean think of the temple of the Goddess of Victory?

  An old man who seemed to be a priest of the temple frowned: "This gentleman, I can't agree to your request."

"I just don't want the body to be cremated. We want to be able to bury it, but we haven't found a suitable place yet, so we hope to store it in the temple temporarily, and wait until we find a suitable place to retrieve it. These corpses." Sean said earnestly, "As knowledgeable as you should know, the northern barbarians believe that only by burying the corpse in their hometown can their souls be calmed down, so I hope you can help this....Of course, I will not keep you busy in vain. I am willing to donate 30,000 gold coins to this temple."

  Thirty thousand gold coins!

  This is a lot of money!

  The prosperity of the gods cannot be separated from the worship of believers, and the spread of believers naturally requires the expansion, construction and promotion of the temple, but after all, the temple is also a mortal thing. Therefore, if you want to develop, you cannot do without sufficient funds in the end. Most of the sources of funds for the temple are obtained through various magical treatments and donations from believers, or by fighting a war against infidels, lending priests and troops belonging to the temple to nobles, kingdoms, and so on.

However, there are no heretics around the temple of the Goddess of Victory in Loveland, and the employment of nobles is even more unlikely. Therefore, I don’t know if there are 5,000 gold coins in a year’s income. At this moment, Xiao En said three. Ten thousand gold coins, this really shocked the old priest. After a moment of contemplation, the old priest finally agreed to save these corpses in a special way for Sean, and put them in decay, but the preservation time was only half a year.

  For this result, Sean is naturally quite satisfied.

  Waiting for these things to be dealt with, before Sean had time to take a breath, William had come to the door.
