Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord

After reaching a simple agreement with the church priests, the devout believers gathered in the cathedral soon gave up their confrontation with the soldiers one after another under the comfort of the priests and pastors.

This also made most of the northern military officers breathe a sigh of relief. Although soldiers can do absolutely prohibit the order, once they are ordered to shoot civilians, it will always damage the morale of the army. This is for a group that was originally composed of civilians. For the army, it is easy to lay hidden dangers that are not easy to detect.

Vaughn led the team into the church first, and soon drove away all the clergy and completely cleared out a huge church.

Next is the moment of harvest. According to the mission requirements... Like the Duke's Mansion, all books, antiques, weapons and valuable materials were seized in a concentrated manner and transported out of the city in boxes.

In the basement of the church, soldiers used alchemy bombs made of dragon flame powder to explode the heavy stone door of the church's basement, and a small room full of boxes was exposed to everyone.

The soldier pulled out the bayonet and picked up a box, revealing the golden coins piled up inside. Everyone present took a breath of air... The church has more money than Duke Carlo!

Just based on preliminary observations, the amount of gold pounds piled up in the church database is probably more than 100,000... It seems that after the Principality of Barkley began to expel the power of the church purge, they transferred all the church wealth in the rest of the country to Lanjing City. Among them, before they had time to transport it back to the holy city of Gorries, it was equivalent to letting the northern army intercept the lord halfway.

Pierce pinched his eyebrows and ordered: "Import the two flanking troops immediately, bring the alchemy camel beast to come to Lanjing City and join the main force..."

Judging from the current seizure of the spoils, they took Lanjing City without any effort this time. The money and materials they harvested may not be transported back all in one trip, not to mention a large amount of wheat filled with granaries... This is currently In urgently needed materials should be transported back to China first than golden coins.

After all, although Duke Carlo abandoned the city and fled, he took away most of the elite knights, and there were many military nobles under his command with fiefs elsewhere to rely on, and in essence they were not seriously injured... If he arrived at the vassal territory, If you regroup troops and return to Lanjing City, it will definitely cause great trouble to the North Army's material transportation work.

Quick battle and quick decision, run away after robbing... It was originally the core policy of their "debt collection operation".

On the third day, the Northern Army spent a lot of time to sort out the materials collected in Lanjing City and transport them to their bases outside the city in batches... At the latest, they must set off and return to their country immediately early tomorrow morning.

But even though all the alchemy vehicles are allocated, nearly one-third of the supplies are still unable to be transported away. Pierce began to regret not recruiting more alchemy beasts to join this operation before going to war.

Just as Pierce was worried about transporting supplies, the flanking troops led by Duff and Wayne marched overnight, using the super-high maneuverability of the alchemy vehicle to quickly arrive in Lanjing City to meet.

"Commander, we passed the valley silver mine not far from Lanjing City and found that there were many people living there, with a duke's cavalry team stationed, but the town in the mining area had no walls, so we easily attacked. "Dafu rubbed his hands happily, "I found dozens of boxes of silver ore ingots in the mining area. Is that thing very valuable? You can hurry to meet up and not transport it back directly. We sent someone to guard there , you can go back to pick it up at any time."

Lanjing City has a population of less than 10,000. Most of the miners and coolies engaged in silver mining do not live in the city, but are scattered into various mines of different sizes in the valley outside the city. Instead, the population in the city seems to be slightly smaller. It is rare, even worse than the lockdown of a border count like Grizzly Castle.

Pierce nodded and said in a deep voice: "Don't be distracted from the matter of silver mines. We can't transport the supplies from Lanjing City at the moment. Don't put your mind on those heavy silver ores."

Wayne came over and added, "Where are the slaves in the mine? These people are not from the Principality of Barkley. Most of them were captured by Duke Carlo from all over the place through slave traders and slave hunters, and there are many of them." People from our Principality of St. Valen.”

The Principality of Barkley is different from St. Valen. It is one of the few secular kingdoms in the central southern border that allows slave trade to be legal. In essence, it is also because of the abundant minerals in the domestic areas. The noble lords of each fiefdom need a large amount of cheap labor to mine minerals for themselves, thus This made the slave trade extremely prosperous.

"After you defeated the guards of the mine, won't they run away in a swarm?"

Wayne shook his head, his tone was a little low, "The nobles did not even shackle the slaves to prevent them from escaping... Because their faces were branded with unusually obvious slave marks, and they would be found when they escaped. Report them, only the fate of being hanged is welcomed."

Pierce narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "How many slaves are there in the valley mine?"

"The largest mine we control currently has more than 1,000 slaves in it. The other small mines around have not yet been counted, but the total number is estimated to be not less than 3,000."

The biggest disadvantage is that there is no waterway and river transportation near Lanjing City. If you want to transport a large amount of food and food back to St. Valen from land, you can only choose to hike hundreds of miles of hilly wilderness. With the assistance of alchemy vehicles, you can use it for nearly a week. Time passes through the border to the city of Silver Pine, the nearest city of St. Valen.

Their current carrying capacity is not enough to take all the supplies away. If they take the slaves with them... not only will it slow down their return speed, but they are also likely to be attacked by Duke Carlo who is regrouping his army because they are too conspicuous.

No matter how powerful the firepower of the Northern Army is, the ammunition and supplies will always be exhausted. After all, it is a cross-border battle far away from home. Once there is a problem with logistical reinforcement, even a group of well-equipped and well-trained professional soldiers can easily be trapped in the enemy's frequent harassment tactics and finally be dragged to the point of running out of ammunition and food.

After thinking it over, Pierce still thought that he could not act on his own, and honestly reported the current situation through the magic brain instrument.

This report was quickly responded to, which immediately cheered up the irritable Pierce, but the content of the reply order made him a little confused.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one bar, one 6, one 9!

After hearing the news, the city lord actually ordered him to bring back all the slaves stranded in the valley mining area. At the same time, the rescued slaves could also be arranged to share part of the food and supplies that the alchemical vehicles could not carry completely by manpower. In this way, all the food could be taken away, and the money looted by Duke Carlo and the church would not be spared.

It was really a "greedy" order that wanted both...

But the city lord obviously also anticipated the consequences of doing so. The combat troops would be seriously slowed down by the heavy supplies and a large number of slaves, and would also be subjected to the sudden cavalry harassment of Duke Carlo. At that time, the situation would probably be no different from marching in a swamp.

So at the end of the order sent back, Harvey left Pierce an inexplicable sentence-although he slowed down the march to ensure the safety of supplies and rescued slaves, he had arranged reinforcements in advance, and there was no need to worry about the pursuit from Duke Carlo.
