Black Iron Crown

Chapter 535: Regretful Lord Bazaran

The array surrounding the wall of Fort Rolle was torn open, and more and more soldiers from the Bazaran Kingdom rushed outside along here. Although their mood was extremely urgent, they did not cause chaos.

   Everyone kept the queue as always, guarding against another surprise attack by the enemy, but maintaining a rapid movement speed.

   Soon, all the soldiers in the city of Rolleburg successfully left Rolleburg and began to run in the direction of Inzburg.

   Seeing that the friendly army had successfully withdrawn, the knights began to turn their horses away from the chaotic enemy army.

   During these rounds of decisive charge, they suffered heavy losses. Only more than 80 people were still riding on horsebacks. They were able to withdraw with the large forces. The remaining more than 110 knights all stayed here.

   King Satri yelled angrily, and ordered the lord and officers to gather the chaotic army immediately and start the pursuit of the enemy as soon as possible.

   The defenders of the Kingdom of Bazaran immediately accelerated their march toward Innzburg after leaving Rolburg. Because of the rush to leave and the need to reduce the burden, each of them only carried three days of rations.

   This also means that the large amount of food hoarded in Fort Rohr has all fallen into the hands of the coalition forces.

   Although the coalition forces wanted to pursue the enemy, they suffered heavy losses but they could not continue to let the soldiers march quickly.

   And successfully breaking through the Bazaran Kingdom Army, which was quickly evacuating, it had already run several hundred meters. The knights of the coalition army had already gone to defend the grain road, and they could not pursue the enemy at all.

  The battle was basically over, and the soldiers began to clean the battlefield.

   After some counts, the number of casualties was finally determined.

   During this period of time, together with the previous battle, the coalition lost a total of more than 3,000 soldiers. In addition to more than 1,500 people, more than 2,000 people were slightly injured.

   The army of the Kingdom of Bazaran killed more than two thousand people, seriously injured more than 800 people, and slightly injured more than 1,000 people. In terms of the proportion of losses, the army of the Kingdom of Bazaran was larger.

   Nearly half of them have lost their combat effectiveness. You must know that a seriously injured person can't break through the encirclement. What is the difference between being left in the hands of the coalition force and directly killed.

   After cleaning the battlefield, the lords of the empire and the Kingdom of Buckden did not take too many spoils, but allocated 70% of the armor and weapons to the soldiers below.

   Especially those mercenaries, in order to make them fight desperately before, the lords of the Kingdom of Bukerdern made such a promise.

   These armors are quite old, when the royal family was wealthy and lacked armors, they could even sell a set of five or six gold coins.

   Even if the royal family is slightly poor now, it is only temporary. This huge territory and diverse sources of income make it difficult for the empire to have a long-term financial crisis. It only takes a year for the empire to become rich again.

This is recognized by everyone. Even if they don’t sell it to the empire, this group of people will sell the armor to the south, and they can sell it for at least one gold coin per set. After all, the iron armors here are all excellent five rings. Buckle the whole body chain armor.

   randomly discarded the enemy's corpses into the wilderness outside the city, and after converging the own soldiers, the lords of the coalition army immediately led the soldiers into the interior of the castle.

   After entering the city, they didn't do anything else, but quickly came to the warehouse to check the stored grain.

   Soon, these lords showed satisfied expressions.

   They were ecstatic about the mountain of food piled up in the warehouse. There was enough food for the remaining 11 thousand soldiers to eat for more than four months. The lack of food was completely changed.

   Soon, the food piled up in the warehouse was moved out, and the soldiers immediately raised the fire to prepare for the victory dinner after the war.

   Finally, these soldiers no longer have to worry about the problem of hunger. Before that, they had to endure starvation every day, and they could only get a small piece of bread and a small amount of dried meat.

   For professional soldiers, such food is too little.

   But in fact, although food is in short supply, they still maintain the minimum daily consumption, and they have not yet reached the point where they are about to starve to death.

   The lack of food causes panic, and it is a devastating blow to morale. If it weren't for the lord's lure with high bounties, plus the fact that there is nowhere to go in a foreign country, the whole army might have collapsed long ago.

   The cooking smoke curled up, and the autumn sunset clouded the horizon, and the red burning cloud rendered the scenery extremely beautiful, if there were no broken bodies outside the city.

   "Oh holy father, I finally filled my stomach!"

   A soldier patted his round belly with satisfaction. The long-lost feeling of fullness made him extremely happy.

   This is the case in the entire camp of the coalition forces, and the periods of decline due to casualties and starvation have also recovered a lot.

   The Bazaran Kingdom Army, which successfully broke through, also slowed down a little bit. Even the humans who are best at running can't stand it all the way, not to mention that they are still wearing heavy armor.

   However, when they walked out the next day, 30 kilometers away from Rolburg, they suddenly found a team in front of them.

   These lords, who are like birds of fright, just wanted to order the soldiers to line up to meet the enemy, but they realized that they all knew the flags of the opposing team.

   After knowing that it was the army of their own country, the lords relaxed~lightnovelpub.net~ The lords immediately fought to see King Elmaru.

   When they all appeared in front of this army, everyone was shocked.

   King Elmaru rode his horse to the front of these lords, and behind him followed the lords who were stationed with him in Inzburg.

   "Why are you here?" King Elmaru looked at them in disbelief and said, "Didn't I let you stay in Fort Rolle?"

   The lords who came out of Fort Rolle also looked blank. Although King Elmaru ordered them to stay in Fort Rolle, the nearly collapsing wall made them unable to hold on.

   What's more, they don't know that their friendly forces are already on the way to support them.

After explaining it to King Elmaru, he only heard King Elmaru throw his whip on the ground in annoyance: "What do you know! Let’s not say that we will soon be able to attack the enemy from behind. It has been cut off by us! They were hungry when they attacked you! As long as you hold on for a day or two, we will be sure of victory!"

   The lords who came out of Rolburg even regretted their intestines after they responded to King Elmaru's words. They couldn't wait to punch themselves. Such a great opportunity was wasted like this.

  If it is really as King Elmaru said, then the benefits they can get are definitely an astronomical number, and it is not impossible to include the entire western border of the empire into the territory of the Bazaran Kingdom.
