Chapter 781 What are you running from?
When it was almost dark, the female lord and Li Yu returned to the camp.
Except for a small group of people who continued to pursue the defeated soldiers outside, the rest of the army had basically returned.
There is no way, there are too many prisoners this time.
Just a rough count showed that there were about 40,000 to 50,000 people, and more than half of the enemy troops chose to surrender.
Most of them were militiamen. After seeing the leading noble generals flee, they had no intention of continuing to fight.
But if it were used for ransom, these people together might not be as much as what a big noble could give.
However, the female lord did not intend to sell them. Firstly, she no longer looked down on such small money. Secondly, Miss Rabbit tasted the sweetness from the 10,000 dwarf captives and realized the impact of labor force, especially high-quality labor force, on the development of the territory. importance.
The so-called militia are actually trained farmers. Almost all of these people can farm. If they are allowed to reclaim wasteland, there will be another bumper harvest next year.
The female lord thought to herself, and climbed down from the dragon's back with great interest, and then had Trista and other noble prisoners who had vomited several times along the way be released.
And when they heard that the girl had captured the commander of the coalition forces, many people came to watch the excitement.
I don’t know who shouted first, “The Imperial Valkyrie and the Prophet Merlin are back!”
Then everyone started shouting, "The Valkyrie and the Prophet are back, and they captured the head of the Penlos family alive!"
"Really?! As expected of Lady Ilea and Prophet Merlin."
People were talking a lot, and the female lord waved her hands, "Hahahaha, it's just good luck."
"Once is luck, twice is luck, but three times it can't be luck."
Kamzi got into the crowd and said sternly, "First you got rid of the evil dragon, and then defeated the dwarf army in the Dragon's Back Mountains. Now you defeated those hateful invaders in one fell swoop and guarded the Western Territory again... This is not luck. Made it.”
Fabrice also echoed, "Without your strategic planning and heroic killing of the enemy, we would not have been able to win this battle."
"Hahahaha, this is my Lord's blessing on Saturday."
The girl mentioned Saturday, but no one refuted it. Although many of them performed very well today, facing enemies several times their size on the battlefield, they were able to move forward without hesitation, showing a momentum that frightened the enemy.
However, in the final analysis, this battle was won because of Saturday and the double break.
Those steel monsters that suddenly appeared on the battlefield greatly destroyed the confidence and courage of the enemy on the opposite side. Afterwards, Merlin rode a white dragon and defeated those Wing Tribe warriors and their giant dragons.
And most importantly, Solomon clearly had an army of 10,000 Wing Tribes, but only 300 of them showed up in the final battle.
At this point, no one doubted the theory of divine punishment anymore. Thinking of this, everyone's eyes fell on Li Yu again.
The prophet of Shuangxiu Cult really kept his word. He promised to deal with the Wing Clan army and the two giant dragons they brought, and he really fulfilled his promise.
And this is the real reason why they can win this battle.
Thinking of this, I don't know who took the lead first. A large part of the crowd knelt down with a roar, put their left hand on their chest, made a sign of double break, and once again loudly praised Saturday.
Upon seeing this, Miss Rabbit originally planned to kneel down on one knee, but was stopped by Li Yu on the side.
She looked around and found that she and Li Yu were the only ones standing within a hundred steps nearby.
Miss Rabbit was a little embarrassed and touched the ears on her head.
"Well, I...I have received a lot of care from my lord during this period. How about I kneel down and thank him."
"It's not time yet." Li Yu said.
"How soon?"
But this time Li Yu did not answer her question, and only said meaningfully, "When the time comes, you will naturally know."
"You mean I will know when that time comes?" Miss Rabbit was already confused.
However, seeing that Li Yu didn't explain, she didn't ask any more questions. She just stood next to the prophet of Shuangxiu Sect, feeling the worship from all directions with the latter.
After a while, the girl secretly nuzzled towards Li Yu. Seeing that Li Yu didn't hide away, she became bolder again and quietly grabbed someone's hand.
This scene was seen by Fabrice who was not far away. The head of the Popo family was startled at first, then a look of shock appeared in his eyes, and he even stopped praying.
After that, more and more people noticed the pair of tightly clasped palms and opened their mouths involuntarily.
Miss Rabbit's face turned red, and she felt a little embarrassed at this time. She seemed to be a little too courageous just now.
Completely driven by the desire in her heart, she grabbed her hand as soon as her head was hot. Now she couldn't help but regret it. After all, so many people were watching, so the girl with a guilty conscience wanted to pull her hand back.
However, when she tried it, she found that she couldn't move at all.
This time it was Li Yu who held her hand.
"What are you running from?"
"I, I didn't run away again..." Miss Rabbit stammered, "I just think there are a lot of people."
"That guy came to grab my hand before."
"Yes, I'm sorry. I was so happy just now that I got a little carried away." The female lord reflected deeply, "Hey, how about you let go of my hand first?"
"Why?"
"Huh?"
"You are a believer in the Shuangqiu religion. Please help me recall whether there is any one of our commandments that prohibits falling in love."
"It seems not."
"Very good," Li Yu said, "Then just hold on like this."
In fact, although most people looked shocked when they saw Li Yu and Ilea holding hands, they were not particularly surprised, because there had been many rumors about the two in the Western Region for a long time.
Although many of those rumors were deliberately released by the Silver Moon Church to slander the reputation of the two, there were also some that were real.
For example, Li Yu often comes in and out of Ilea's bedroom in the middle of the night, and for example, Li Yu will always be by the female lord's side... It can be considered that everyone has been vaccinated.
So now that they see the two clearly stating their previous relationship in this way, many people feel relieved. At least the two now seem to be normal lovers.
Not the kind of taboo and twisted love that was rumored in some rumors before.
In addition, some people with a keen political sense also thought of more things.
Merlin and Ilea's choice to confess their relationship at this time is probably not just a coincidence, but has a deep meaning behind it. (End of chapter)
