Glory Riding and Cutting

"Is there a place in the city to place prisoners?"

Ronan wiped off the blood on the sword, then put the sword back into the scabbard, and then looked at the lord of Sitges City who was standing beside Meryses.

"I'm afraid that so many prisoners can't be placed. Your Majesty, there is only one cell in the city where prisoners are held on weekdays. At most, it can only hold less than two hundred people, or more than a thousand prisoners. Unless a temporary cell is now rebuilt, otherwise, it will definitely not be able to be put down. of!"

The lord of Sitges City is not doing very well. He is not too young. During this period of time, he has not slept for several days because of the siege of the city. He looks very haggard and has dark circles like a panda.

"There is no need to spend manpower and material resources for them, Magna, the prisoners are executed on the spot, the bodies are burned with the previous ones, and useful equipment is provided for the militia. You look tired, go and rest, come to me tomorrow morning, I have something to tell you!"

Ronan cold-bloodedly ordered Magna to execute the captives, and then said to Lord Sitges. After speaking, Ronan asked Lord Sitges's attendants to take him to find a place to rest.

After eating some simple food, the cavalry sent to chase came back, and the Noldor knight walked to Ronan with some blood on his body.

"Your Majesty, we caught up with the deserter, but the enemy's support arrived during the battle. I could only lead the troops to retreat and failed to catch the eagle commander."

"It doesn't matter, it's not important. They suffered heavy casualties this time. Let's escape some!"

Ronan waved his hand to indicate that the Knights of the Noldor can go to rest, then stood up and walked to the window, looking at the city of Sitges, where the battle was occasionally seen on the street. Above the tower, you can overlook half of the city through the windows.

The troops that were still resisting in the city were basically killed, because I don’t know how many, so I can’t be completely sure, even if some of them hide or escape, it’s not harmless, and they can’t make any waves. .

They rested peacefully for a day, especially Meryses' troops and the remaining defenders of Sitges. They were already very tired, and the food supply was reduced these days, which made their physical recovery very slow, and there was still a problem. Fewer wounded needed treatment.

Early the next morning, Ronan was in a meeting to deploy the next work.

"First of all, send someone to repair the surrounding city gates. The enemy may attack here. We can't relax our vigilance!"

At this time, Jackson, who came back from the investigation, opened the door and walked in. He went straight to Ronan's direction, then bowed and said to Ronan:

"Your Majesty, the scattered troops of the enemy have already reconciled. They did not choose to attack us, but retreated to Jianmen Fort, but..."

Jackson hesitated.

"What's wrong? Say it!" Ronan was a little strange.

"On the way back, they burned, looted, destroyed buildings, burned crops, kidnapped women and children, and killed most of the men. The places they occupied before were a mess!"

Jackson then whispered. After Jackson finished speaking, everyone in the room frowned, and Lord Sitges was even more afraid and relieved.

"These guys! Gather the troops, we'll set off immediately!" Ronan stood up angrily, and then walked out of the gate directly.

Others didn't dare to say anything when they saw Ronan's state. Originally, they planned to wait here until the reinforcements were assembled, and they were attacking here with the reinforcements, but Ronan obviously should pay attention, and they could only obey.

After walking out of the range of the Sitges collar and entering the next territory previously occupied by the Eagles, the atmosphere was obviously different. First, it was silent, and then I could see many birds such as crows and vultures flying by in the sky. , the place where the cultivated land was on both sides was scorched black, apparently burned by the fire, and even some nearby woods were also affected, but fortunately it did not cause a forest fire.

There was a trace of a village in front of him, and Ronan pulled the reins, driving Nanto to speed up where he went.

Looking at the dialect, it was a mess. Most of the houses were scorched and collapsed. The ground was covered with bloodstains, which could vaguely reflect the original tragic situation. After walking, a group of knights immediately dismounted and followed Ronan.

Ronan was a little strange. There was no corpse on the ground, only bloodstains were left. Even if the smell of blood attracted beasts, it was impossible to eat so cleanly. There would definitely be bones and fragments of clothes left, but Luo Nan quickly got the answer.

In the center of the village, there should be a large open space where the village chief usually summons the villagers to announce things or give speeches by the clergy. There is a hill of corpses standing there. After several days of exposure, the corpses are already showing signs of decay. There was an unpleasant stench, and countless mosquitoes and flies were flying around the corpse pile~www.wuxiahere.com~ At the top of the corpse pile, some scavenger birds were pecking at the corpse.

The faces of some corpses were ripped off by the vultures, revealing the bones, the eyeballs were pecked, and the blood in the eye sockets was blurred, adding a bit of terror. Ronan frowned and waved to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers stepped forward immediately and used spears to drive away the vultures who were still pecking at the corpses, and then started to turn over the corpses with their spears. These soldiers were well-trained, experienced many battles, and never saw one. The few corpses have some immunity to the stink and the tragic state of the corpse. If this were replaced by some newly recruited soldiers, it is estimated that they would have vomited and lost their stomach acid now.

"Your Majesty, they are all men and old people. It seems that they have indeed taken away women and children. The wounds on the corpses are not uniform. They should not be executed in a centralized manner, but these eagle men suddenly attacked. They were killed in the process of escaping. Killed, the blood distribution on the ground can also prove it!"

The soldier walked back to Ronan and reported.

"Well, burn the corpse. Plague will breed if you stay here. These beasts really spare no effort in order to block us, and there is no lower limit!"

The soldier nodded, then returned to the team to get some oil, poured it on the pile of corpses, lit a torch, and threw it on it. The fire spread quickly, and the pile of corpses was burning, giving off an even more unpleasant smell, but Ronan did not escape. Instead, he watched the corpse burn into ashes, as if he had made a decision.

"Gather the ashes and bury them!"

Ronan instructed, then turned and left here. Most of the villages he passed by after that were like this. In order to avoid the breeding of the plague, Ronan specially sent a lot of cavalry with fuel to the villages or towns that were not on their planned route to dispose of the bodies.
