"Scott, how do you feel?" Cooper and other civil affairs officials stood beside Scott's bed and asked softly to him.

Scott opened his eyes slightly, looked at his colleague who was visiting him, and nodded slightly.

After the doctor's treatment, Scott's face was no longer so pale, and he had returned to a lot of blood. He was just unable to get out of bed and walk around for the time being.

"North~North Pass~"

"Sir Scott, what did you say?" A civil affairs official standing beside him saw Scott's lips slightly moving, "Are you talking about Beiguan Military Fort?"

Scott tried hard to say these words, but he was too weak.

"Don't worry, the Beiguan Army Fort is guarded. Chief Tridork led the fifty cavalry of the Wells Legion to rescue. Most of the enemy was killed or injured, and several leaders were also arrested. Now we are locked in the valley."

Scott's mouth slightly raised, tears in his eyes kept spinning~

"Scott," Cooper looked at Scott's appearance and felt extremely heartbroken. "You have done what you should do, and the best thing is to save a life." Cooper sighed and continued: "This time our valley suffered huge losses, more than a hundred peasant soldiers were killed in battle, and almost everyone was injured. Fortunately, Tridork rushed back in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."

“Yes~”

“Yes~”

All the officials sighed.

"You should recover from your wounds, and leave the valley defense and recovery of Tignets to Tridork." Cooper said to Scott with concern.

Scott nodded repeatedly, watching Cooper and his friends walk out of the room to visit and comfort other wounded and dead soldiers~

In order to deal with many matters left behind in this valley guard battle as soon as possible, after the civil affairs officials completed the damage and casualties in various places, Kuber sent people to notify the civil affairs officials, the mistress of the Mubao Lotti, the valley priest Hamish, and Tridork, who had just returned from Marsey Fort, went to the lord hall of the Mubao Lords Hall to discuss the follow-up matters.

"...Everyone," Triddork said to the participants. According to Lord Cooper's instructions, I have prepared the damage statistics for this valley guard battle. One hundred and fifteen peasant soldiers were killed, two of whom died on the way back to the valley, and the other four died last night. The valley doctors had tried their best to rescue them, but they still failed to save their lives."

"Amen~"

"Amen~"

Everyone mourned for the six dead valley peasants.

"There were 121 severely injured, and the rest of the others were also slightly injured to varying degrees." Triddork continued, "two of the cavalrymen of the Wells Legion who returned to the rescue were slightly injured, and there was no serious injury. This is the loss of personnel in the valley of this battle."

"Okay, next, the Civil Affairs officials will introduce the damage to houses and farmlands and personnel damages in various parts of the valley county." Cooper signaled to the Civil Affairs officials to speak.

"First of all, Winchesterton Manor, which belongs directly to the valley, was burned by bandits. Since the main body of the manor is a stone structure, only the wooden structures in the roof and the houses are burned, and the later restoration is much less difficult. The Ryan Manor and the Southwest Farm have not been damaged yet. The farmland around Winchesterton Manor has been burned to nearly two hundred acres. Two left-behind peasant soldiers and several old farmers who refused to move out were killed. The farmers were locked in wooden houses and burned to death. The civil affairs have sent people to bury their bodies."

Cooper nodded.

"According to the prisoners' confession and our estimates, more than 20 private houses in the Tinets County were destroyed, most of which were the private houses of the gentry living in the city. Other destroyed houses were burned by fire because they were close to the private houses. Fifty-two people died. Sixteen soldiers died. The farmland around the county was burned more than one hundred and fifty acres. There were four private houses of the gentry that were burned in other territories in the county, with thirty-two people killed. The farmland was burned in total. More than 270 acres were burned.

Mrs. Lotty, Lord Cooper, everyone, this is the loss caused by the bandits to the county town and valleys this time."

After listening to the report of the civil affairs officials, everyone could not calm down for a long time. This time, the bandits came fiercely, sinisterly and viciously, causing great damage to the various parts of the county and valleys. They seriously disrupted the order and trade development of the county and caused panic.

"Hmph, these bastards!" Tridork slapped the table in anger.

Seeing everyone silent, Kuber continued: "Madam, the valley's peasants were killed and injured this time. Do you see if you first give the victims and peasants and their families in the name of Civil Affairs? This time, the military achievements will be decided after the adults come back. Civil Affairs will be recorded first."

"Old butler, I agree with you. If they hadn't used their lives to resist the bandits this time, the valley would have long since disappeared." Lotti sighed.

"Okay. Civil Affairs record." A civil affairs official immediately picked up the carbon rod and prepared the birch bark.

"Each soldier with a dead man of 500 Finney, each seriously injured person of 400 Finney, and a minor injury costs 50 to 200 Finneys according to the degree of injury."

"In addition, madam, there are many casualties and injuries in the valley. Do you want Father Hamish to pray for the dead peasants and then bury them together." Cooper looked at Lotti, then turned his eyes to Hamish.

"This is what it should be, Father Hamish, this matter is left to you." Lotti said to Hamish.

"Dear lady, I'm willing to serve you." Hamish stood up and replied.

"There's one last thing," Cooper turned to Tridork and said, "Scott is recuperating due to injury, and the valley defense and recovery of Tignets will be left to you, Tridork."

"Please rest assured, the old housekeeper, I will wipe out all the remaining bandits entrenched in the county town!" Tridork's eyes were full of anger.

…………

On the second day, in the open space outside the Mubao Gate of Shangu, a group of people in the valley dressed in dark linen clothes stood neatly. Some of these people were the leaders around Mubao, and some were farmers who came out of their homes in the early morning and rushed torches through the road connecting the villages between the valleys and Mubao.

It was raining lightly in the sky, and the footprints on the ground were already filled with rain. The raindrops ruthlessly hit the faces of the valley leaders under the whistling mountain wind, and then splashed. Even though the clothes on their bodies were slowly wet by the rain, no leader ran to the eaves to avoid the thorny rain.

On the steps outside the wooden fort gate, the valley leader priest dressed in a black burqa, the valley mistress Lotti and the viscount's only son George Jr., civil affairs official Cooper, and the company's deputy commander Tridork had been waiting for a long time.

On this special day, everyone's expressions were serious. Even the four or five-year-old children knew that this was not the time to play, and followed the adults obediently...

"Everyone, in the name of God, as faithful believers of our Lord, today we gather here to pray for the warriors who have passed away from guarding the valley." Hamish, the priest of the valley leader, spoke.

"In order to guard our homes and protect our relatives, friends, children, and wives. Faced with those fierce and vicious enemies like demons and beasts, these fearless men took up the weapons in their hands and rushed to the front. Some of them were fathers, some were sons, and some were husbands, but they had a common name, that is, men, brave and fearless men!" Hamish said excitedly. At this time, the women standing in the open space could no longer help crying, but none of them cried, tears mixed with the rain, and slowly flowed down their cheeks to the ground...

"They used their flesh and blood to resist the enemy's spear and sword, and exchanged hope for life for everyone in the valley. We should always remember them, remember their names, and remember where they fought. We must tell their children that their father is an amazing person, the hero of our valley! The warrior of our valley!" Hamish waved his arms excitedly.

"May God be with them, and may their pure and noble souls receive eternal rest under the protection of God..."

“Amen…”

“Amen…”

…………

On the second day, under the arrangement of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the valley farmers and soldiers who died in the battlefield were buried collectively on a piece of unreclaimed wasteland in the valley. The main civil affairs officials of the valley, Lotti and Tridork, attended the funeral.

A huge tombstone wrote an epitaph: You are born ordinary, but you die great. The underside of the epitaph is filled with names: Feynman, Ula, Carmen...

…………

After a brief rest of several days, the cavalry of the Wells Legion returned to the valley, rushed to the city of Tignets with the captured Doyle and several squire lords who had secretly betrayed Yat.

When more than 30 cavalrymen and Doyle and others with their hands tied in the middle appeared not far outside the south city gate, the peasant soldiers on duty rang the alarm bell. When Doyle's men ran to the south city gate, they saw that their commander had been captured and did not resist much.

Before the city gate was opened by the peasant soldiers who had already scared, the four people had already gone toward the north gate. But they were not so lucky, and were soon caught by the cavalry who had chased them and led under the south gate of Tignes.

At this time, Doyle and a group of squire knelt on the ground, and behind him was a soldier of the Wells Legion holding an axe. Seeing this formation, several people begged for mercy...

Long before Tridork was ordered to set out to go back to the valley to set out, Yat told him alone: ​​Once the bandit leader and other related people were captured, they would be detained first, and after the valley matter was handled, they would be taken to Tinets to beheaded in public. On the one hand, it would be able to soothe people's hearts, and on the other hand, it could intimidate those forces that opposed Yat behind their backs.

"I was ordered by Lord Yat to wipe out these rioters who captured the county town, killed the county people, burned the houses, and did everything evil. After our interrogation, these bastards were spies sent by Thorne's court." At this time, the county people surrounding the surroundings were talking.

"Their purpose is to disrupt Tinets County, attack the rear of the Wells Legion, and force the Wells Legion to withdraw. Do you think they should kill?"

"It's time to kill!"

"It's time to kill!"

The county people who had had enough of what the bandits had done in recent days were excited and smashed the stones, eggs and vegetables in their hands at the guys. At this time, Doyle, who had already been unrecognizable, still lowered his head and allowed the untouchables to insult and insult him~

"I sentence these traitors to death in the name of the guardian of Tignes on the southeastern border of the Kingdom of Bo, Viscount of the Kingdom of Bo, the Wells Legion and commander of the Southern Garage Legion, Yat Wood Wells!"

"The sword and axe driver, execution!"

Under the gaze of everyone, the heads of these guys were chopped down to the ground by the axes raised by the soldiers behind them. The blood spurted out of them made the timid county people screamed~
Chapter completed!
