Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 515 Difficulties

"Your Highness, Urgent News, Captain El Legion has successfully captured the city of Gipses. According to the prisoners’ confession, the next fortress city of Robert Via is also only guarded by a 1,000-strong city defense force, and it is said that the business alliance is armed to treat the wounds. The army’s medical base is stocked with a large amount of medical medicaments. The commander of the El Legion requested to continue the raid on Robert Via. He is confident that he can take this city before the armed forces of the business alliance can respond..."

Genorio's expression was a little sleepy, and he yawned while reading the message with the eagle that had just arrived. After taking the city of Morente, Lorist hadn't closed his eyes for three days and two nights. As a personal attendant by his side, Genorio only took the time to rest for less than four hours. It was Lorist's attitude to him. Basically, all the seniors of the Norton family are busy going round and round. If some arrangements are not made in these three days, no one can sleep.

"The order for El to come back is enough to take Gypsy City. We don't need to take Robertovia again. Oviz has already recruited nearly 30,000 laborers from the shanty towns and slums outside the city to Thomas. The city carries us the grain, grass, and material reserves. Let the Captain Ayr seize the time to clean up the armaments and supplies from Gipses City and transfer them to Thomas City. He has only two days, when all the materials that cannot be moved are burned, and they must not be moved. In the hands of the armed forces of the business alliance, we just leave them empty."

Lorester’s eyes are bloodshot. Even if he is a swordsman, he has very strong physical fitness, but sleeping is a human instinct. After so long, he is also very tired, but at this time he can’t fall down. Have to stick to it.

"Tell the commander of the El Legion that if the front-line commercial alliance forces get the news that the city of Moriente has fallen and the city of Thomas, and the city of Gypsyth has fallen into our hands, then they must send their troops back to attack the city of Moriente. The rear is gone. For the logistical supplies provided, the front-line business alliance armed forces will certainly not last for half a month. Therefore, if the entire army is not annihilated, the business alliance armed forces must take the city of Morente within half a month. What we need to do now is , Just assemble your troops to defend Moriente, and leave the rest to the Flying Tiger Army and Cavalry Army."

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand, and I will send a letter to the Captain of the El Legion immediately." Genorio cheered up and left in a hurry.

"His Royal Highness, Lord Tagger, please see me." A guard came in to report.

"Let him in." Lorist said.

Tagger, who was equally tired, appeared in front of Lorist.

"Are everything arranged?" Lorist asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, the senior officials of the twenty-nine chambers of commerce and their families, seventeen great sword masters and their relatives have all boarded the ship, and at the same time there are also ninety-two nobles from the business alliance and the golden swords. A total of 1,748 people, and a total of 648 maids and servants also boarded the ship. Lord Jim sent five bronze doors to each of the eight large armed battleships in Zhoubian. The artillery, which is fifty meters away from the serial berth, ensures that the VIPs on the ship have no way to escape..." Tagger reported immediately.

"Call..." Lorester let out a sigh of relief: "Finally, everyone can sleep peacefully. You should also have a good rest. These three days have been really hard for everyone."

The surrender of the inner city and the acquisition of Morente City does not mean that the matter is over. On the contrary, Lorist and the senior members of the family are more vigilant. Without him, because there are seventeen great swordsmen from various chambers of commerce and forty golden swordsmen in the inner city, this is a high-end combat power that cannot be ignored by Lorist. Although they had put down their weapons and surrendered, Lorist could not set them aside at will.

Lorist's presence can guarantee that nothing will happen, but if Lorist's is not there, no one can stop these great swordsmen and golden swordsmen from making trouble. The problem is that Lorester can't always take care of these high-end captives. After thinking about it, Tagger finally came up with an idea.

Tagger said that if these prisoners are placed on the ship, the Golden Bay is now the world of the Norton family fleet. Placing these high-end prisoners of the business alliance on the ship can also reduce the number of guards. If placed on land, it would be at least a corps to guard against these prisoners.

Lorester was overjoyed. He was inspired by Tagger's suggestion. Upon an idea, he immediately ordered the two Sepnim ships to surrender the Fourth Squadron of the Invincible Fleet as the center, surrounded by a circle of large, damaged weapons. The battleship is connected to the captured medium-sized fast-armed battleships. All the masts are removed, and a three-story serial berth is connected with wooden boards. Then it is towed to the center of the Tibetan Golden Bay and anchored and fixed, and then all the big swordsmen are fixed. The Golden Swordsmen, the upper ranks of the Chamber of Commerce and the Alliance nobles are all placed on this chain platform.

Anyway, the Tibetan Golden Bay is calm and the waves are calm, and there is no need to worry about being bumped by wind and waves for such a huge chain slipway, standing on the slipway as if walking on the ground. Even in order not to make the captives feel shabby, Lorist ordered people to bring in a large amount of exquisite daily necessities from the inner city, and also laid expensive carpets on the berth, and allowed these noble prisoners to take their accompanying attendants. The maids and servants went to this huge slipway to spend their life as prisoners.

With this serial slipway as a place to house these noble prisoners, and the high-end combat power of the business alliance that made Lorester also a headache, the Norton family armed forces who occupied Morente City finally breathed a sigh of relief, without having to deploy a large number of troops. Beware of these captives. Lorester drew eight out of more than ten large armed battleships equipped with bronze artillery that blocked the seaport, anchored around this berth, and asked the deputy commander of the artillery battalion, Jim, to arrange on each large armed battleship. After aiming at the slipway with five ground-type bronze artillery pieces, it felt foolproof.

"His Royal Highness, the noble prisoners on the slipway have been settled, but the residents of the one hundred thousand inner city that can be arranged in the prisoner of war camp in the fleet area have protested to us." Tagle did not go to rest, but smiled bitterly. Talking.

"Protest? What are they protesting against? We have done what we promised them!" Lorist's lips curled up. After separating the surrendered upper ranks of the Chamber of Commerce, nobles, great swordsmen, and golden swordsmen from the ordinary Chamber of Commerce personnel and armed guards, these ordinary captives can only be squeezed by Lorist.

"They protested that the food we provided was too scarce to fill our stomachs..."

"Haha..." Lorist laughed: "They can take out gold coins to buy if they don't have enough to eat. We haven't violated their sacred private property rights. Anyway, they took their money with them when they left the inner city. As captives, they should have the consciousness to endure hardships. We have provided them with food and water for free to ensure that they will not starve to death. It is now during the war, and they should know that food is precious. They can never be captives and ask us to give them. There is no such reason in the world to provide wine and meat bars."

Lorist has always said his words, and he has indeed fulfilled his promise to provide free food and drink to the hundreds of thousands of prisoners in the inner city and guarantee that their personal belongings will not be moved. However, what he provided was only two bowls of porridge that could be seen by each prisoner a day. Clear water was enough. Lorist had people dug a channel to the prison camp, and he could drink enough water if he wanted to.

But at the same time, Lorist opened a tavern in the camp of prisoners of war. As long as these prisoners paid the money, they could eat and drink in the tavern. Because it is a monopoly business, the price is a bit expensive. A cup of ale and five copper coins need a big silver coin here, and three croissants and honey bread only need a small silver coin here. Here is a golden ford...Because the camp was only open for three days, The tavern currently has very little business, but Lorist is not in a hurry.

"Well, I will order Pachiko to bring a guard regiment to maintain order in the prisoner-of-war camp and the fleet area. Anyway, the invincible fleet is gone now, and I will wait for Sembawood to send the prisoners of the invincible fleet to Silovas. When the list of prisoners of war is sent over, we can divide the families of the crew and sailors in the fleet area into two parts. Those who are still alive can send their families to Silovas Island, and the families of those who have died. The prisoners in the inner city were combined into one battalion. I believe that Pachiko’s guards of 12,000 men are sufficient to deal with these hundreds of thousands of unarmed prisoners."

Lorist thought for a moment and made a decision. The 100,000 prisoners of war camp members in the inner city are the backbones and diehards of the various chambers of commerce in the business alliance. They are either managers or armed guards. Lorist is not interested in seeking help from these people. In his eyes, these prisoners of war are all human-shaped purses shining with golden light. What he wonders is how to drain these people. In order for these people to surrender, he agreed to very generous terms, promising not to plunder the private property of these prisoners of war, but this does not mean that there is no way to empty the wallets of these prisoners...

If it is the 24th District of the Outer City, Lorester might still need to be considered. After all, the 24 communities have millions of people, and even if the suppression continues, both sides will lose out. But the 100,000 people in the inner city left the prisoner-of-war camp in the fleet area, which is equivalent to the fish in front of Lorester. They can be slaughtered as they want. If trouble happens, Lorester can do it. This is an excuse to overturn his promise and kill them all. They will not be used by him anyway, it is better to kill them clean.

"By the way, have the crew members and their families of the Fourth Squadron surrendered aboard?" Lorist asked.

"Get on the boat, Your Highness, they set off for Hilovas Island at 3 this afternoon." Tagore replied.

The dock area in Morente City is public, but the fleet area is a dedicated residential area for members of the Invincible Fleet. Lorist was already fighting the ideas of the surrendered crew and sailors of the Invincible Fleet, these were experienced navigators. In the next plan, Lorist needed a large-scale transport fleet. In the absence of manpower, he turned his attention to the crew and sailors of these surrendered invincible fleets.

It was not Lorester’s kindness to send the crew and sailors who had surrendered and their family members in the fleet area to Silovas to reunite, but to force the crew and sailors who surrendered to live for their families. It’s better, and I’ve taken refuge in the Norton family to serve myself, and at the same time I take these family members as hostages. As long as they have concerns, these crew members and sailors will do their best to do their best.

"Also, Your Highness, the Belunek Corps commander of the Rock Legion has taken a regiment to occupy the warehouse area outside the east gate, and the Jades Corps commander has taken three battalions to occupy the commercial area. Lord Reddy went to the outer city. Order was maintained in the 24th district, Lord Bodfinger brought a battalion to stay in the inner city, and Morient City was basically under our control..." Tagle concluded.

"Oh!" Lorist sighed again, hating less when the soldiers were used. Two corps and eight corps with ninety-six thousand troops, but they are stretched out in this city of more than one million people, they need manpower everywhere, and there are defensive loopholes everywhere. Still thinking about searching for wealth, even the vaults of the chambers of commerce in the inner city lack the manpower to clean up.

The four regiments of the Guards, El and Owiecki led a regiment to raid Thomas City and Gypsy City, and the Great Swordsman of Sius brought a regiment to defend the outer wall. One of the remaining two regiments defended the dock area, and the other regiment was led by Pachiko to guard the fleet area and the inner city prisoner of war camp arranged there.

The four corps of the Rock Legion, Reddy led two corps to maintain order in the 24th district of the outer city. One corps was commanded by Nerunek and occupied the warehouse area outside the east gate, which was arranged by the business alliance in Moriente. The largest material storage base in China is not to be lost. The remaining corps was divided into two. Jades took three battalions and occupied the commercial area, which was the commercial and trade center of Morient City. The commercial alliance gathered all the registered chambers of commerce and opened shops there. It is also a treasure place where wealth gathers.

Bodfinger took the remaining battalion and garrisoned in the empty inner city, where no one had to clean up the warehouse, vaults and arsenals. And Morient City also has the temple area and college area, and some places such as Bollinger Mountain have no troops to occupy. Lorester was already unable to mobilize any manpower, and now he was accompanied by a guard of a hundred men.

"I'll be fine when El and the others come back." Lorist deceived himself and said, "Tagel, is there any news about the letter eagle sent to the family territory?"

"Not yet ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I guess it will take another one to two days." Tagle replied.

"Well, let's do this first. Being able to coax those great swordsmen onto the slipway has reduced us a lot of pressure. People are more popular than others. There are so many great swordsmen in the business alliance, and the various chambers of commerce stay in Mo There are so many in Lent City, which has exceeded the total number of great sword masters in our kingdom..."

"His Royal Highness, do you want to recruit a few of these imprisoned great sword masters for our family?" Tagger made a suggestion.

Lorist shook his head: "Forget it, it is difficult for the recruited great sword masters to guarantee their loyalty. These great sword masters are either trained by those chambers of commerce or are the same as Ingerek. They are greedy for life and fear of death, and they have nothing to do with them. Forget it, in a few years our family will have a few more great swordsmen, like Tiger Ross and Baldfinger are likely to be promoted to great swordsmen."

While talking, Lorist also yawned: "Let’s do this first, I’ll lie down, I haven’t closed my eyes for three days. Tagle, you should also take a break and take good care of your body in order to better serve the family. Effectiveness..."

"Yes, Your Highness, take a good rest, I will withdraw first."

Lorist said to lie down, but after lying down he slept for seventeen hours in one breath. After waking up, he opened his eyes and found Genorio standing in front of him with red eyes.

Lorist was startled by him: "What's the matter, what's the matter? You haven't rested?"

"His Royal Highness, it's not good. After occupying the storage base outside the East Gate, Master Berunek made statistics and found that the food reserves there were not enough to supply the millions of people in Moriente. Most of them were coarse grains. It can only last for fourteen or five days." Genorio reported a bad news to Lorist.
