With the death of the Orc commander, the scattered Orcs lost their ability to fight back. They were forced to retreat under the attacks of the three sides. Soon, they fled in all directions. However, it wasn't that easy to escape. There were still 400 centaur archers and centaur riders waiting for them outside the camp.
The battle ended when the sun rose in the east. The Orc corpses in the camp were cleared out by the human slaves. The Centaurs who were chasing the Orcs outside the camp also returned to their groups.
As for the human slaves, many of them tried to escape during the battle last night, but they were caught by the Harpies in the sky. The humans almost peed their pants when they saw the Harpies. The Harpies were notorious in the human world.
"My Lord, all the human slaves are here. Except for some who ran out last night and were accidentally injured, the rest are here," a servant reported to Suhlen.
"How many are there?"
"Eleven thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven."
Suhlen's eyes lit up. "Looks like we have a good harvest this time!"
Suhlen gathered the slaves and reorganized them into small groups. He was ready to leave with the human slaves.
"My Lord, thank you for saving us from the evil Orcs." Just then, a human walked up to Suhlen and bowed.
"You're welcome. After all, you're my property now!" Suhlen said with a smile.
"Err, my Lords, we're residents of Wintersun City, not slaves," the middle-aged man said with a frown.
Suhlen raised his eyebrows. "Residents of Wintersun City? Hehe, I don't have any residents of Wintersun City here. I only have slaves that I saved from the Orcs. "
Hearing Suhlen call them slaves, the humans became restless. "My Lord, we're really residents of Wintersun City, not slaves."
"Yes, let us out. We're citizens of the kingdom, not slaves!"
"We want to go home!"
The entire scene became like a bustling market. Endless buzzing sounds could be heard.
"Silence!" a loud roar was heard, and all the sounds were suppressed. The scene became clear. The soldiers of the North Town City also drew their weapons. Seeing the situation, they immediately quieted down.
"It seems that you still don't know your place," Suhlen sneered.
"You guys don't know yet, do you? The orc army has already entered the northern provinces. They are now besieging Calt. There are 100,000 orcs in the entire northern lands."
"Not only here, but there are also orcs in other places. Do you still want to go home?"
"Without my protection, the moment you leave the camp, it won't be long before you are captured by the Orcs again. No, it should be killed! The orc army suffered heavy losses last night. The orcs won't be merciful to slaves like you! "
"Don't expect the kingdom to send people to save you. The kingdom's army is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Orcs. They won't be able to take care of you. Now tell me, is there anyone else who wants to leave? "Suhlen glanced around coldly and said.
Everyone lowered their heads when they met Suhlen's gaze.
"Now, I'll give you a chance," Suhlen continued after looking around.
"I am the Lord of Northern City, Suhlen. I am the Lord of Northern City. I can promise that as long as you work for me for three years, I will release you from your status as a slave and give you a piece of land! "
"In Northern City, you don't have to worry about being attacked by the Orcs. After you regain your freedom, I can promise you that the tax on your land will be 30%. As long as you don't break the law, the tax won't increase …"
After Su Lun finished speaking, most of the humans stopped objecting. Some who were still unwilling to accept the result didn't dare to make any moves under the protection of the weapons of the North City soldiers. Soon, the two sides finished a pleasant conversation.
Su Lun assigned some soldiers and harpies to escort these human slaves to the Blackstone Fort. When they arrived at the Blackstone Fort, these people would be divided into groups of a hundred, and then migrate to Northguard City in groups of ten.
After dealing with the human slaves, Suhlen opened the system log to check.
"Congratulations, Host. Under your leadership, your army has defeated an Orc army. You have achieved a great victory."
"You have won the battle. You have obtained 3,620 EXP."
"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Gold Treasure Chest! You have obtained a Star Iron. "
He opened the system space and chose to open the Gold Treasure Chest. The system notification sounded.
"Congratulations, Host. You have obtained the item" Machinery Control "!"
An ordinary book appeared in front of him. Suhlen took the book out and looked at its attributes.
[Machinery Control: This is a book that records advanced mechanical knowledge. It is very difficult for people without a foundation to understand it. After learning it, you will be able to master even more advanced mechanical knowledge. Learning Requirement: Learn "Machinery Control"]
It was actually an advanced book for Machinery Control. After reading the introduction of the book, Suhlen's eyes lit up. The Machinery Control book was very helpful to Suhlen. Now that he had the advanced knowledge, he was looking forward to the knowledge in the book even more.
He chose to learn it directly. A light flashed and the book disappeared. The next second, a large amount of information appeared in his mind. At the same time, the system notification sounded in his ears again.
"The Host has used Machinery Control. Machinery Control ability has been upgraded to Machinery Control."
In addition to Machinery Control, Suhlen had an advanced option in his skill column. He could choose to advance Machinery Control to Mana Technology. However, the advanced option was still gray. He still lacked the advanced conditions.
Suhlen was very interested in Mana Technology because the construction of the Wizard Tower and the Floating City required Mana Technology.
"Your Excellency!" A soldier with a scar on his face and armor came to Suhlen. He bowed and said, "Your Excellency, when we were patrolling, we found some people in the woods."
"They claimed to be the nobles of Wintersun City who escaped when the Orcs attacked the city."
"Nobles? Hehe, according to the laws of Florence, nobles who abandon their territory and escape during war will be stripped of their noble title and their fief. "Suhlen chuckled.
This was also the reason why the nobles who managed to escape didn't dare to go to Calt City or the royal capital. If they were to go there, they would have to pay a huge price. Even if they could rely on their connections to maintain their noble status, they would lose half of their territory. The current king had always wanted to weaken the nobles' strength.
"Bring them here," Suhlen ordered.
Soon, a group of people led by a few soldiers arrived. The leader was a middle-aged man who was more than two meters tall. He was wearing a knight's armor, which was full of bumps and dents. A few of them were even wrapped in bandages. Obviously, they had been through a tough battle.
The middle-aged man in the lead had a resolute face and a somewhat cold expression. He should have the bloodline of the Barbarian Tribe in the Northern Region. He also had an imposing aura that could only be possessed by someone who had experienced many battles. This knight was most likely a general.
When Suhlen was looking at these people, the nobles were also looking at him. However, Suhlen gave them too many feelings.
Their first impression was that he was handsome! He was extraordinarily handsome!
Ah, this damn sense of immersion!
Although humans with black hair and black eyes were rare in Florence, they were not that rare. However, this young man made them feel like they were facing a mountain. They could not help but restrain themselves.
The second impression was that he was young. Although they did not know how old Suhlen was, they were sure that he was not more than 20 years old. How could such a young man possess such a powerful aura? Moreover, he was the commander of such a powerful army. These nobles were wondering which family this young man belonged to, and which family he was from, had come out for training.
However, no matter how hard they thought, they could not find a suitable candidate.
There were a total of 15 nobles here, and one of them was seriously injured. Su Lun looked at him. If he didn't receive treatment soon, he wouldn't be able to live past today. Su Lun then snapped his fingers, and a light green light flashed.
— — Physical Healing!
Green life energy appeared and integrated into the body of the injured person. The originally serious injury began to recover quickly. Soon, this seriously injured person recovered from a near-death state to a moderate injury. This kind of injury would be healed after a period of rest.
These people in front of him were more or less injured. Only a thin figure covered in a gray cloak was not injured. This naturally attracted Suhlen's attention.
"Honorable sir, thank you for your help!" The middle-aged knight in the lead saluted Suhlen and said.
"No need to thank me. It's nothing." Suhlen waved his hand.
"May I ask your name? We will visit you in the future to thank you. "The thin figure under the protection of the knights walked up to Suhlen. Judging from the voice, this should be a young woman. The middle-aged knight with the imposing aura took a step back and stood behind her.
"I am the lord of the Northern City, Suhlen," Suhlen said with a smile.
"Northern City? Suhlen? " Hearing Suhlen's words, this person was slightly stunned. Then, she thought for a while and could not remember where the Northern City was located in the northern provinces. Suhlen's name also confused her. Without a surname, how could she tell which noble family he was?
In fact, Suhlen did have a surname. This was his name in his previous life. Su was his surname. It was just that according to the customs of this world, Suhlen did not have a surname.
"Northern City!" The middle-aged knight next to her exclaimed. After looking at Suhlen a few times, he explained to the noble.
"Northern City is the territory in the northern wastelands!"
