Whoosh whoosh!
Chua!
The 120 members of the Thorn Corps fired at the same time, and the sound of the arrows was endless.
The continuous volleys were as dense and heavy as dark clouds that covered the sky.
puff!
Puff! Puff!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
The savages who rushed forward were shot and fell down one after another, and wailing was heard everywhere.
The leaders of the savages had never seen a long-range rain of arrows, and they roared even louder in fear, urging the savages to speed up their advance.
Knight Mason stared at the death zone caused by the Thorn Legion's volley fire more than 100 meters in front of the formation and was secretly shocked.
When the continuous shooting reached 20 arrows, Green clearly felt that the Thorn Legion's shooting speed had slowed down.
More than 200 savages fell in the continuous volley, and chaos broke out among the savages. A small number of them fled backwards despite the roar of their leader.
When the volley reached 25 arrows and dozens of people fell, the savages began to retreat on a large scale. Green decisively ordered to stop shooting.
Knight Mason commanded the 200 Kleber soldiers (main weapons: shield, sword, and spear) to advance towards the fleeing savages.
The Kleber soldiers marched forward with great momentum, chanting in unison.
The average length of service of Kleber's soldiers is over ten years, and each of them is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles.
The soldiers of Kleber's clan started with Green's mother. They were elite soldiers who had survived the long-term battles with the mountain savages for more than a decade. They were the foundation of the Kleber family.
As the Kleb soldiers strode forward with uniform slogans, the savages, who had already been frightened, became even more frightened and confused.
Occasionally, a leader would gather some people and attack the Kleb soldiers' phalanx, but they would be instantly overwhelmed by the Kleb soldiers.
In Green's view, these savages waiting to be captured or surrender are all his reserve subjects, and judging from their performance today, they are indeed worthy of the title of savages.
If Green wanted to manage these savages in the future, the only way he could think of was strict laws.
Green sighed that he might even have to be so meticulous as to decide which foot to take out first.
The Game of Thrones is about to begin, and the military force in hand is the real trump card. In order to achieve the effect in a short period of time, the territory of Kleber can only be transformed into a large military camp that includes all the people in the territory.
Green confirmed the development path of his territory that suited him and no longer hesitated.
............
The Thorn Legion was established only a few days ago, but it was able to complete 25 salvos. It can be said that today's performance was very amazing, and Emparo also proved his ability to lead troops.
The Thorn Legion was under repair, and some spearwomen directly... triggered a chain reaction. Green didn't know how to describe it. Maybe it was too hot. Bare-chested?
A sea of white, Green intuitively felt the physical characteristics of the spearwomen in the Kleber territory...strong and big.
Following Green's gaze, Emparo, who was standing beside Green with a serious face, also noticed the situation. He seemed to remember something and his cheeks turned dark red.
Some spearwomen who noticed Green's gaze looked back at them nonchalantly and straightened their bodies boldly.
If it were in his previous life, maybe Green would whistle and give a thumbs up.
A lord needs to pay attention to his image. This is the memory of Green's original mother's education. Green also agrees with this at this time. Moreover, giving a thumbs up in Westeros does not mean praise.
Unknown actions can easily be misunderstood. In the Kleber Territory, men must learn to protect themselves when they go out!
Green just smiled slightly and his eyes naturally moved away.
It is difficult to explain to them why soldiers need to pay attention to their image, and it is not appropriate to discuss this in the current situation.
Green thought about adding the image of soldiers into the training content of soldiers in the future, and he would get used to it after a long time.
The Thorn Legion rested for a while, and under Green's command, followed the tribal soldiers to join in the pursuit of the retreating savages.
............
Knight Pell's Survey Corps has already captured a tribe. The first battle was very successful. In the surprise attack, only a few people suffered minor injuries and no one was killed.
The Survey Corps captured nearly 300 people from the first tribe they captured.
The mountain savages make a living by hunting and picking wild fruits. Their spoils are mainly furs and dried meat. The Survey Corps only found a small bag of gold dragons in the house of the tribal leader, with a number of about 10 to less than 20.
The spoils were carried directly on the captives' backs, and Knight Pell ordered the tribe's houses to be burned down.
Some of the captives who had rebelled because their tribe was burned were killed on the spot. 20 people were assigned to the Survey Corps to escort these captives to the territory first.
Knight Pell said to the captain of the small group escorting the prisoners, "When the prisoners arrive near the territory, someone will receive them. If you're hungry, you can chew some dried meat. Don't stop to rest. After handing over the prisoners, come and reunite with me directly. Be careful on the way. I'll be waiting for you at the second tribe."
"If any captives on the road make any movement, kill them immediately. Do not hesitate."
After giving his instructions, Knight Pell patted the captain on the shoulder and said, "Go."
Knight Pell waited until dark before finally defeating the three large tribes.
The Survey Corps rested directly at the third tribe, and returned to the territory at dawn the next day with prisoners and spoils.
On their way back to their territory, the Survey Corps encountered several groups of scattered savages and captured dozens of them.
The Survey Corps went into battle for the first time, resulting in 23 deaths.
............
After two days of simple rest, the soldiers of the Kleber family, in groups of 30 to 50 people, began to attack the remaining small tribes in an organized manner.
All the captives were taken to the territory of Kleber, and all the houses of the savage tribe were burned down.
After Knight Mason personally escorted the last batch of prisoners, he returned to Whispering City and happened to see Butler Herschel standing in front of the warehouse door with a big belly and a smiling face.
Knight Mason was also in a good mood and jokingly said, "Old friend, you seem to be in a good mood."
Butler Herschel still smiled and replied, "Good day, Sir Mason. The warehouse is almost full of furs. We haven't had such a surplus in a long time."
Knight Mason sighed, "Yes, my lord, it seems like you were born for war. The wildlings were defeated by the Thorn Legion's volleys before they even got close to us. This is the first time we have suffered so few casualties."
"Herschel, I have no doubts and full confidence in the Lord's decision to reclaim the old lands of Kleber."
"Yes, sir, I am also full of confidence. The Crab family will eventually regain their old territory!"
"Sir, go in and get ready. Surana and I have been preparing for the victory banquet tonight for several days. It is very, very sumptuous. You can have a good drink tonight."
............
Whispering City, in the lord's study.
Green, Maester Al, and Kaliya have almost finished calculating the gains from this war.
There were more than 2,500 prisoners in total, including nearly 700 elderly people and children.
Of the remaining 1,800 people, 1,200 are women, meaning there are more women than men.
In order to prevent the captives from colluding with each other, they must first be dispersed, and the majority of people around each person must be from unfamiliar tribes.
In order to absorb the population as smoothly as possible, this requires careful arrangements and cannot be rushed. Everything is for stability.
After the disbanding is completed, they are dispersed in batches to various places in the territory to be assigned to work.
At the beginning, each corps needs to cooperate with the sheriff to supervise and deter.
Green leaned back in his chair somewhat tiredly.
Although he was tired, Green was in a good mood. With captives to replace the labor, the Kleber Territory could release most of its young and strong forces.
The Kleber Territory can immediately launch a second round of recruitment. For the time being, Green's source of happiness is the explosion of troops.
Bombing makes me happy!
