"Ah!" A soldier who seemed to be in a hurry to commit murder was ambushed and suffered a great loss. He let out a blood-curdling scream, followed by the sound of something breaking.
The little boy waited until there was no more commotion outside before he dared to lift the sheets and crawl out of the bed. He then saw his mother lying on the ground in a disheveled state, staring at him with a pair of eyes.
He crawled over and pushed his mother with all his might, but his mother did not move. He reached out and fiddled with his mother's hair before sitting down beside her, allowing the blood to spread and dye his pants red.
The tragedy continued to spread in every corner of Lalma. Countless refugees who escaped the disaster rushed to Lalma Castle, only to find that the flag of the German Empire had been hung there.
Alonso obtained a great victory in the battle at the German Empire's border. He gathered a large number of imperial soldiers and escorted thousands of enemy captives back to the German Empire. The main forces of Lalma were routed on the battlefield, allowing Alonso to take advantage of the situation.
These adult male captives allowed him to increase the slave reserves of the Empire's Kelandil Colosseum, and could also be used as coolies or slave traders. At the same time, because of these captives, the troops of the German Empire did not encounter any resistance when they rushed into Lalma's territory.
That afternoon, Alonso led his cavalry and the cavalry led by his adjutant who came back as reinforcements, reclaiming a large area of the border occupied by the Kuruth Kingdom.
Three days later, a messenger returned from Lalma with good news for Alonso. The general of the William family had occupied Lalma, and now Seru Khan's main forces could only wander around, looking for an opportunity to retake Lalma.
Because the difference in strength was too great, the border battle ended as quickly as it started. Lalma, the capital of the Kuruth Kingdom, was reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Alonso quickly rushed to Lalma and met the general of the William family who had been waiting for a long time.
"The situation is very bad! Seru Khan's troops have also gathered elsewhere to prepare for a counterattack. They have the absolute advantage in numbers! "The moment they met, the general of the William family reported a piece of bad news.
Alonso had too few soldiers, which made it impossible for him to give up on Larma and chase after Seru Khagan's main cavalry.
If he wanted to launch a punitive expedition against Seru Khan's main forces, he would need to make ample preparations.
Right now, the number of soldiers he could mobilize was very small. Relying on these people to attack Seru Khan's forces was too risky.
Alonso continued to walk towards Seru Khan's tent in Larma City and sat down on his luxurious leather chair. Only then did he open his mouth to order, "Stabilize the civilians of Larma first!"
After thinking for a while, he continued to order, "Distribute the gold coins we brought! Let the citizens of Larma accept the fact that they are under our rule! Exempt them from some extra taxes. "
Taking over a place wasn't an easy task. He had to take care of every single detail. "Put up a notice and tell everyone that we've captured a few thousand Larma soldiers. They'll serve in the mines for a year and will be released safely after that!"
Only by having the civilians of Larma accept his rule could he be considered to have won this war, "The dead soldiers of Larma will be compensated with the money seized from Larma!"
After arranging the work of occupying Larma, he ordered the general of the William family, "Send people back to the German Empire and have them immediately present the facts to everyone. Share the fruits of victory with the Northland people."
Alonso raised his first finger and began to explain his plan in detail, "On one hand, after the war ends, we will immediately reduce the tariffs and give the benefits to other powers. Start to sell goods at a low price. If the situation is urgent, we will not hesitate to give them away for free! "
After saying that, he raised a second finger, "Distribute the gold coins we have accumulated over the past few days to all the civilians who participated in the war! The German Empire and Larma must be treated equally! "
He then raised a third finger and continued, "Exempt the German Empire from agricultural taxes for a year and distribute agricultural subsidies! Calm the civilians down and tell everyone that the war is over! "
At this point, he remembered another matter and looked at the general of the William family, "Reward all the soldiers of this war with one gold coin each! If you don't have enough money, wait for the people of the colosseum to hand over the money and distribute it! "
"Understood!" The general of the William family was filled with the joy of victory. He clenched his right fist and nodded, "I will do it right away!"
In fact, there were still many things that Alonso had to deal with, such as the important issue of conscription. Now that he had occupied Larma, he naturally needed more troops to defend it.
Currently, he was still in a passive state of being surrounded by enemies, so the number of troops he needed could not be reduced. Previously, he did not have enough soldiers. Now, he needed more people to defend his land.
"What a headache," Alonso sighed as he looked at Seru Khagan's tent.
He had already revealed his trump card. If he delayed a little longer, Seru Khagan's main forces would be able to gather and retake their city.
Alonso drew up a new battle plan. He wanted to gather all the soldiers that could be transferred from the German Empire and Larma and immediately attack Seru Khagan who had yet to gather.
"First, we need to gather our forces as quickly as possible, then use the fastest speed to find Seru Khagan." Alonso drew up a basic battle plan.
The German Empire had thousands of cavalry. These elite cavalry were very strong in battle and should be able to advance quickly.
The general of the William family also felt that using cavalry to advance quickly was a very suitable tactic. This way, they could save a lot of food and indirectly increase the amount of supplies they had.
Although there was no detailed battle plan, as the commander of the German Empire's army, the general of the William family still dutifully understood the situation of the surrounding forces.
After listening to these reports, Alonso drew up a plan that seemed feasible. He ordered the general of the William family to lead the cavalry to quickly gather at the border and then wipe out the scattered forces of the Kurut Kingdom.
As long as the general of the William family could eliminate the scattered cavalry, they would be able to force the enemy to give up on the field battle and retreat to the nearby fortresses.
"Once they give up on the field battle!" Alonso used his finger to point at a small cup that he placed at the back, which was a symbol of his side's Magic Crystal Cannons. "I will personally lead the main force and bring all 30 Magic Crystal Cannons to approach them!"
