The rest of the battle was very easy. The morale of both sides was already on the verge of collapse, and now that everyone who could make decisions was dead, the soldiers didn't know what to do. Facing Li Huailin's army, almost all of the soldiers chose to run. However, facing the cavalry, the more they ran, the faster they died. It was a pity that no one was able to gather the soldiers that were running to fight back.
The battle ended almost as soon as it started. Li Huailin only led the cavalry to charge into the crowd once, and the enemy was completely routed. In the next hour, the cavalry chased after the enemy's infantry. There was no suspense at all. There were 3000 soldiers on both sides, but only a few managed to escape. It was all luck.
Li Huailin stood in the middle of the battlefield, surrounded by piles of blood and corpses. Li Huailin stood under his black flag, and the soldiers around him looked at Li Huailin with fiery and crazed eyes. Their Marshal was too powerful. More than 2000 soldiers had been dispatched to destroy 10,000 soldiers, and they had lost less than 400 soldiers. What kind of battle record was this? Was this a battle that humans could fight with a loss of 1: 25? He was indeed a military god. The word 'god' was very appropriate to describe their Marshal.
"Marshal, we've almost cleared out the deserters. What do we do now?" Maccon looked around, then rode behind Li Huailin and asked, "Are we going to attack the city? There shouldn't be many soldiers guarding the city now. As long as we persuade them to surrender, they should open the gates and surrender. "
"Hmm …" Just as Li Huailin was about to answer, a system notification popped up. Li Huailin looked at it and saw that it was a long-distance call. The name of the caller was Hongyan Drinkwater, his sister-in-law. Speaking of which, he hadn't seen her in a long time.
"Brother-in-law!" Hongyan Drinkwater called out happily as soon as the call connected.
"What's wrong? Drinkwater? " Li Huailin already knew Su Shuizhen's real name, but he was more used to calling her Chuishui. She also knew his real name, but she always called him brother-in-law.
"Brother-in-law, you haven't played with us in a long time. A few days ago, Big Sis Yue Yue said you were going to participate in the Pro League, so I didn't bother you. Now that the Pro League is over, why haven't you come to find me?" Hongyan said angrily as she drank water.
"Uh … it's like this." Li Huailin had been wondering why this little girl hadn't been bothering him recently. So that was the reason. Well done, President Red Moon. However, this girl was his sister-in-law. Under normal circumstances, he had to treat her better. Thinking of this, Li Huailin said, "Well, I've been busy recently, but I've just finished."
"What is it? Isn't it fun? Why don't you take me with you? "Hongyan asked immediately after drinking some water.
"Uh … about that." Li Huailin looked at the mountains of corpses and seas of blood around him. "I really can't take you with me. Now that it's over, I'm free. Is there anything you need me to do?"
"Big Sis Yue Yue just accepted a Hidden Quest, but we don't have anyone here. Big Sis Yue Yue hasn't returned since you borrowed her, and Big Sis Bloodstain can't log into the game. Right now, there's only Big Sis Yue Yue, me, and that idiot Ribbon. Brother-in-law, hurry up and come when you have time," Hongyan said as she drank water.
"A Hidden Quest?" Li Huailin nodded. "Is there no one in the guild doing it?"
"It's a Level 40 Hidden Quest. Everyone else's levels are too low. They can't help," Hongyan said as she drank water. "Also, it's not fun without Brother-in-law."
"Okay, okay. I understand. I'll come now." Li Huailin nodded. It had been a long time since he met up with Red Moon and the others. Now that the war was over, it was time to meet them.
"Brother-in-law, hurry up. We'll wait for you at the tavern in the main city." Hongyan drank water. When she heard Li Huailin waving his hand, she immediately cheered up.
After hanging up, Li Huailin thought that little girls were easy to deal with. One moment she was angry, the next moment she was happy. Since he was done here, he might as well go.
"Marshal?" Maccon asked when he saw Li Huailin in a daze.
"Why are we attacking the city? Gather and return to the fief, "Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Huh? We're going back just like that? " Maccon was a little surprised. This time, he had killed 10,000 people. Yet, he was going back without any benefits?
This Colghira City was of no use to Li Huailin. Anthony just wanted him to kill two Dukes, and that was already done. As for this city, he already had a fief. Even if it was conquered, it wouldn't be his. Rush in and steal the money? He didn't lack money or food. The women in the military brothel were also full, so there was no need to fight.
"Yeah, there's no need to fight. Legg, take the troops back to the fief. Recruit more soldiers and train slowly." Li Huailin looked at his current Reputation Points. He didn't expect it to be more than 410,000.
Li Huailin quickly looked at the records and found that killing a Duke had increased his Reputation Points by 100,000 and more than 40,000 Honor Points. Killing two Dukes was 200,000 Reputation Points. Adding that to the large group of soldiers, his Reputation Points had reached more than 410,000. As for Honor Points, they were useless to Li Huailin now. He had already been bestowed the title of a Duke, and there was no more to be bestowed.
"Wow … Fortunately, I'm fighting my own people. Otherwise, my Reputation Points would be deducted again." Li Huailin felt that fighting in a civil war was indeed comfortable. The Reputation Points could be earned, but unfortunately, there were no more Dukes in the empire.
Military Minister Legg was by his side. Li Huailin opened the recruitment page. Because he had money and was not in a hurry to fight, he would buy good soldiers. The Lancaster area's special army, the armored cavalry, needed 1,200 Reputation Points to recruit three to five. If Li Huailin used up all his Reputation Points, he should be able to recruit 1,500 to 2,000. That would be enough.
Of course, the recruited armored cavalry would have to provide the armor and horses himself. However, the soldiers didn't need to be trained at all. They could fight directly on the field. They were much stronger than the beginner cavalry.
"Recruit at this scale, understand?" Li Huailin said.
"Yes, Marshal," Legg replied immediately.
Li Huailin turned to Maccon and said, "Maccon, take these two heads and report the situation to Anthony. I have something to do here, so I need to leave immediately."
"Huh? Marshal, this … it's not good if you don't report it, "Maccon said. Maccon said. You killed two Dukes, and then sent a man to say hello to the King. That's a little too casual of you.
"I'm busy. Anyway, I'm counting on you." Li Huailin patted Maccon's shoulder.
"Okay … Okay …" Maccon nodded. This wasn't a good job. He didn't know that this was something Anthony had asked Li Huailin to do. Li Huailin had done such a big thing, and it was possible that His Royal Highness would kill him in anger.
"Alright, everyone did very well this time." Li Huailin clapped his hands and said to the troops around him, "However, it's your duty to serve me. So, no one will be rewarded this time."
"Huh?" The soldiers were stunned. Then, they all got excited.
"Marshal, are you saying that we made a contribution, but there's no reward?" a soldier asked.
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. "There's no reward."
"Marshal, you really don't know how to reward and punish. How admirable!" a soldier said excitedly.
"We risked our lives to kill, but there's no reward. This is great!" A soldier next to him was so moved that he shed tears. Marshal was so good to them that they would die for him.
"Long live Marshal!" "Long live Marshal!"
All the soldiers cheered from the bottom of their hearts. Li Huailin's figure became much bigger in their eyes.
"Hmm …" Li Huailin nodded. "Everyone, go back and train well. There will be opportunities to fight in the future."
"Yes, Marshal!" the soldiers replied in unison.
The battle officially ended. Li Huailin rubbed his hands and returned to the city. Legg brought the team home, while McCann brought a few people to the Blessed City to meet Anthony.
The Blessed City, the back hall of the palace, Anthony's bedroom.
At this time, Anthony was still "recuperating". With the help of the intelligence department, he was aware of the current situation in the Empire. Duke Lautner sent out his troops, Li Huailin sent out his troops … and then there was the latest report that he just received. This time, even Anthony was stunned. This … this was the end of the war?
In order to not show up, Anthony pretended to be injured. He also had his doctor tell all the officials that he couldn't take charge. As for the time, Anthony thought about it. According to the situation, the battle would take at least a month. So, he had the doctor tell everyone that he would probably need to rest for a month, which made the officials very anxious. The dukes were fighting, and the king needed a month to recover. After a month, would he be able to stop it? Of course, not being able to stop it was what Anthony wanted.
However, Anthony only rested for three days before shocking battle reports came. Li Huailin's troops set off on the first day and arrived on the second night. On the third day, they fought during the day, and all 10,000 of the enemy's troops were wiped out.
Seeing this report, Anthony was speechless. What the hell? He just said he would rest for a month, and you finished the battle in three days. You even killed two dukes at once. What did these two dukes eat? Do you dare to fight for a while longer? How am I supposed to explain that I recovered from a month's worth of medicine in three days?
"Huailin, you really …" Anthony didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Being too efficient wasn't a good thing either. He couldn't cooperate at all.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Just then, Queen Marina walked in from the front and saw Anthony's headache, so she asked.
"Empress … My brother gave me big trouble again. Help me think of a way to cover up this lie …" Anthony said as he handed the report over.
"This is?" Marina used to be in the intelligence department, so she naturally knew what it was. She took a look and was shocked. "The battle is over?"
"Haha …" Anthony smiled bitterly. "I can't 'recover' now. Otherwise, the empire will really be in chaos. How can I 'recover' immediately …"
