Swordsman Runes
The Part 40
My only 400 troops coming from behind blocked the enemy's retreat. Plus the front troops are also fierce because they saw us defeat the enemy commander.
"Mons" A red earthen mountain appears at the back that extends 3 km both to the right and to the left. Closing the way back completely
"Ventums. Listen, all of you enemy soldiers, your commander we have captured drop your weapons and raise your hands if you want to surrender. If no... DIE!!!"
Hearing my voice many enemy troops threw away their weapons and raised their hands.
My army also only kills those who do not surrender. In an instant the war ended with a loss on my side of about 300 people.
And got 700 prisoners of war. Technically, it is profitable.
"Now you are left"
I stared at the former enemy commander-in-chief's woman with hands and feet buried in dirt and rocks
I stared at his spear, and pulled the spear. The wind that enveloped the spear made incisions in all directions
"Don't you know that the magic weapon can only be used by its owner?"(Females)
"Yes, I know. I've handled 3 magic weapons anyway. Glacies" Red ice covered the entire spear
"Bring this. And now you. Terra" The woman was pushed to stand up. His hands and feet were fused and covered in stone.
And his body was also covered in stone completely leaving his head alone
"Bring him in too"
They stared at each other, and finally Lusar who was carrying the woman while her spear was carried by Laria
"The virus takes care of all our soldiers and comes back. Stain orders prisoners of war to march" "Good"(Syrus & Stain)
They were all finished quickly. There are only hundreds of prisoners of war.
"Alright, this is the first commandment for all of you here. Gather all the bodies in this place. NOW!!"
No need for a second order they started to collect all the bodies that were there.
"Terra" A giant hole was formed, I don't know its size but this must be enough for all the casualties on this battlefield
"Stain separated all his weapons and armor. If anyone fights kill him"
"All right"(Stain)
One by one the bodies of my troops and the enemy troops went into the hole. Under different circumstances, I let their armor and weapons still be on my troops
And disarm all armor and weapons belonging to the enemy forces. This caused displeasure for prisoners of war.
How else are they just prisoners.
After all was done we went back to the post, and sent my elf to the fortress and told him the news of our victory.
And finally we go back to the fort.
The next day the fort was seen, the new troops coming inside the fort opened the door.
Where's that army from? "You have returned"(Sani) "Sirus, Lusar, Farel take care of our troops and let them rest. Laria arranged for the wounded, and Stain ordered the prisoners to build tents outside the fort"
"out? Is it okay to treat them like that?"(Stain) "They should be treated as such. The fortress has many secrets that I myself do not know, if they use them to betray us all who will suffer"
"alright. I get it"(Stain) "Now Sani, whose army is it?" "They are a combined army of Marquesses, Viscounts, Barons, and mercenaries"(Sani)
"Why are they coming now?" "To get the performance? Although the mercenaries are indeed late because of the trip"(Sani)
"Huh? You made a barrier? Is that not outrageous? After all they were mostly soldiers of the lo noble"(Sani)
"I don't care about the feelings of people who don't fight with us and just want to get some merit. I care more about my army"
"But can't it start a conflict?"(Sani) "Even if war breaks out I'll still do it"
I went inside, when I got to my room knocking on the door was heard
"Josh son of the Viscount wants to meet"(Sirus)
"I'm tired. Tomorrow just gather all the representatives of the soldiers who just came to the meeting room" "Alright then"(Sirus)
Clothes full of blood are still not washed and they want to protest. The spoiled nobleman.
The next morning I was at a meeting with 5 new people there, one of whom I knew
"Easy master Ralph huh? Why are you here?"
Ralph is the eldest son of Baron Heath, so I know him very well, he also helped during the war in the Baron Heath area
"Syrus. Take Mr. Ralph and his troops to rest" "Good"(Sirus) "Thank you, Mr. Josh, sorry we're only up until now after taking care of the former war of that time"(Ralph)
"No need to hesitate" "Then I resign first"(Ralph) Ralph went out with Sirus
"Then you guys? Please introduce yourself as I am new to this" "We are all leaders of the duke Racantry army. So treat us well"(Big guy)
"don't want. I was too busy organizing and taking care of the troops" "You-"(Big man)
Another man held the man
"Calm down, Mr. Dorlin. He is the heir son of Marquess Runty with his brother Elios Runtry present here. And I myself am the heir of Viscount Hanfry. Harlie, it should be you who are not royalty to pay our respects"(Harlie)
"For what?" "We're here to help you defend this fortress"(High man) "And who are you?"
"I'm Baron Wrill's son. James Wrill"(James)
"OKs. James, Dorlin, Elios, and Harlie. I asked what are you guys here for?"
"Can't be said earlier to help memper-"(Harlie) "No need. The war is over"
"No way"(Dorlin) "How can a war with thousands of soldiers end in just a few months?"(Eliot)
"That's the truth. The war is over. Our fortress was successfully defended and there would be no other attacks. So you can come back, I don't want to give you any services"
"That's.."((Harlie) "We're not welcome here. Let us sue you"(Dorlin) "Ohh.. Please, you guys are also like that. Using the department to enter the fort"
"On that"(Dorlin) "That's it. You can just leave, I don't need your help anymore"
"I know about your anger. But this area is so barren. Making the village here is almost impossible all this time you live with help from other regions. Fears after you kicked us things got worse"(Elios)
"I don't have a problem. Unlike you, we're here to prepare to die. If we die from lack of supplies it will definitely affect the other battlefields right?"
Hearing that Elios paled. If we are sent here we win and die from lack of supplies.
Surely it will reach the king and the frontline soldiers. Which would lower morale.
Inevitably the king had to make up his mind by punishing the nobles involved. At that time I want to know how they face later.
