The smart ones are already stripping the enemy's armor, preparing to sell it for a good price once the matter is over.
In the direction of the port, the fleet of the Valley Lord had left the port and sailed downstream, leaving behind a bunch of stranded ships that were burning.
As for the light cavalry and mounted infantry of the Amur Mercenary Corps who arrived outside the city yesterday, they had no way to deal with the high walls of the city of Landon without siege weapons. They could only randomly shoot arrows at the walls to justify the commissions they received.
All of this information was gathered in several places in the city - one of them was of course the command room of the Duke's Barracks, and the others were the headquarters of the major chambers of commerce, the intelligence points of various leaders in the city of Langdon, and so on.
Many carrier pigeons took off with urgent messages and flew far away, and there might be some druids among them.
Soon, all of Kosania and even as far away as Monrovia would know that the Langdons had survived a nightmarish catastrophe and had gained the upper hand.

Wang woke up from his sleep and shouted, "I have finished the project! Teacher, I have finished it!"
Then he realized that there was no soft magical light from the wizard's tower in front of him, and the light shining on him came from the window of the room.
Then he saw Elizabeth sitting beside his bed, peeling an apple with a knife in her hand.
For some reason, the collar of Elizabeth's skirt was particularly low today, which made the king almost unable to take his eyes off her.
"Good morning." The princess smiled. "I haven't peeled the apple yet. What is the topic?"
Wang then realized that what he had just said was a foreign word that his teacher had brought in from a certain dimension, and that this word did not yet exist in the common language of this dimension.
Wang: "It's a task assigned by the teacher. After completing it, you have to write a report and give him a grade."
After saying that, Wang looked at Elizabeth carefully and said, "Are you okay? My eyelid twitched yesterday. Last time my eyelid twitched, something big happened, and it even caused my junior master's soul to be hurt. Nothing big happened to me this time, and I thought something happened to you."
Elizabeth was shocked: "You almost died, and you said it's no big deal?"
"As a result, I didn't die. And I don't have any sequelae... Wait, how can I have no sequelae?"
Wang lifted his sleeve and looked carefully at his regenerated left arm. The arm looked like an ordinary human arm, without any tumors like those on cats and dogs.
Elizabeth: “Maybe you’re lucky?”
"I understand," Wang clapped his hands, "It's the secondary restoration technique. The secondary restoration technique not only restored my severed limbs, but also restored the side effects brought by the positive energy."
Elizabeth looked at the ceiling, a little helpless: "Okay, I know you are not asking me, my opinion is not that important."
Wang: “Indeed.”
Elizabeth gritted her teeth and stuffed the apple into her mouth in anger.
Wang: “I thought that was for me to eat.”
"Peel it yourself." said the princess unhappily.
Wang picked up the apple, wiped it with his hand, and ate it with the skin. While eating, he looked at Xiaobai who was sleeping with the ham as a pillow: "You didn't even give her a different ham. That ham is dirty."
Princess: "I tried, but she wouldn't let go of the ham no matter what. So what's wrong with her?"
Wang: "Our new teammate. A very powerful druid, maybe with four or even five rings."
Elizabeth turned her head and looked at the werewolf girl in disbelief.
Wang continued, "After I was hit by the enemy mage's Disintegration, she suddenly attacked the mage and beheaded the enemy commander who was standing nearby. Although I don't know how she did it, I did see a battle under the enemy commander's flag last night. The dragon has good eyesight and is in a high position.
"After the short battle, the River Valley Army fell into chaos, and some people shouted 'Our army has been defeated'. It should be Xiaobai who killed the enemy commander. I reported this situation to your second brother yesterday."
Elizabeth looked at the werewolf girl who was sleeping soundly with the ham as her pillow and said, "So you want to recruit her into your group?"
"No, she joined before that. She also wants to investigate the world-destroying crisis. Besides, druids hate any unnatural changes, so they are our allies."
Elizabeth put down the half-eaten apple and looked at the king, as if she had made up her mind: "Do you... want to go on a business trip with her?"
"Ah? Where can I find Kung Fu merchants nowadays? Oh, you mean my teacher's criteria for judging love? Don't worry, there is none. I would like to do business with you."
Elizabeth's apple fell to the ground. She bent down to pick it up and found Wang was staring at it.
Her first reaction was to block it, but she changed her mind halfway - it wasn't like she would lose a piece of meat, right?
At this time, Wang said: "But you see, you don't meet the first condition. When my eyes are not disturbed, then I may fall in love with you."
Elizabeth looked perturbed.
Wang: "Okay, I'm fully awake now, you can leave now, I need to prepare my spells for today."
Elizabeth said firmly, "I won't leave!"
"Hey, you're disturbing my concentration."
"Just think of it as a test for you."
The king thought about it and nodded: "Alright, then you stay aside and I will prepare the spell."
After saying that, the wizard rolled over from the bed, checked his robe, then took back his dimensional bag from the little guy's waist, took out the spell book, sat down at the desk facing the window, and opened the book.
**
Elizabeth looked at the back of the king's head and suddenly had a bold idea.
She hesitated for a moment, but was ready to put this idea into practice, so she took a step forward.
At this moment, she suddenly discovered that the werewolf girl had woken up and was looking at her with an expression as if she was waiting for a good show.
After meeting his gaze, the werewolf girl pursed her lips and gestured frantically: Come on! I’m so anxious! Come on! Go at him!
Elizabeth sighed. With the werewolf girl causing trouble, she no longer had the mood to tease the wizard.
**
Wang was totally unaware of what was happening next. His concentration was always high when he was preparing spells, so this was also when he was most vulnerable. A sneak attack could take his life.
But now he has teammates he can trust his life to.
After preparing all the spells, Wang put away the spell book, stood up and turned around, just in time to see Elizabeth and Xiaobai struggling.
Xiaobai: "Come on! What are you wasting time on!"
"I can't interfere with him preparing a spell!"
Wang: “What are you doing?”
Elizabeth immediately forced a smile: "It's okay, we are..."
Xiaobai: "She's ready to fuck you."
Elizabeth: “I didn’t!”
King: "I see. Actually, although I am a wizard, I have not neglected physical training. After all, my teacher likes to use Tansen's Transfiguration and then physically defeat the enemy. So it is normal for the princess to be attracted by my body."
Elizabeth stood there awkwardly. She seemed to realize only now that the wizard was not thin at all - in fact, he was about 1.8 meters tall and had a well-proportioned body.
It seems... isn't it shameful to agree to it?
However, the next moment, the king himself shattered the princess's possibility of admitting this, saying, "What a pity, Your Highness will not fall in love with me in this way."
Elizabeth: "I don't want to have sex with you! Not at all! I warn you, don't make such shameless jokes in the future!"
Xiaobai sniffed: "But this is indeed..."
Elizabeth covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "Follow me, and I'll make sure you get enough meat in the future."
Then she let go of Xiaobai's mouth.
Xiaobai: "Okay! I won't make your relationship any more troublesome. Just give me enough meat."
The king looked back and forth at the two of them. "It seems like you have reached some kind of agreement? The princess' love interest... is with me? But I can't possibly fall in love with her. This is bound to be a tragedy. When the girl I want to do business with shows up, Your Highness will be sad."
Elizabeth: "None of your business, shut up."
At this moment, someone knocked on the door, and Ms. Meili's voice rang out from outside the door: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Duke hopes that you will go to the Commander's Office as soon as possible to discuss matters."
Wang: “Come in.”
Lady Maylie came in immediately with a group of maids.
They seemed to be completely unaffected by the war, and remained calm and composed, not bringing disgrace to the Duke's family.
When Ms. Meili saw Xiaobai, she immediately exclaimed: "Oh, dear, you are so dirty. And what's the matter with this rag-like clothes?"
Wang: "They druids like this, they are closer to nature."
Xiao Bai: "Actually, I am poorer."
She turned out all her pockets and said, "Look, I don't have any money!"
Madam Meili seemed to have all her sympathy aroused. She hugged the little girl with a heartache and patted her shoulder: "Leave it to me. I haven't thrown away your clothes when you were a child. I can make some changes and you can wear them. And your little face is covered with dust."
Wang: "She rubbed it against the ham."
Madam Meili turned her head and looked at the king seriously: "The Duke is waiting for you, please go over with His Highness quickly. I have been ordered to dress the little girl up to look presentable, after all, I will confer honors on all of you later. Go quickly."
Chapter 58 The Price of Knowledge
When Wang walked through the inner corridor, everyone looked at him in surprise.
The main thing is that when ordinary people walk with the Duke's sister, they either follow behind her or at least walk parallel to her.
The mage didn't care about this and just walked ahead.
Although he had only been to the inner city a few times, he was already familiar with the structure of the castle and knew the way to the command room.
Not only did he walk in front, he also walked very fast, so Elizabeth had to struggle to keep up with him from behind.
Elizabeth was wearing a casual dress today, but a casual dress is still a dress and not very comfortable to walk in.
This makes it appear that the king is the one with a higher status and Elizabeth is his maid.
The key point is that Elizabeth is dressed up very beautifully today, which makes people even more curious about their relationship. There will probably be all kinds of rumors flying around at noon today. The king made a great contribution yesterday, right? People can't help but fantasize.
Wang didn't care about all this and went straight to the command room. When he reached the door, he rushed in without waiting for the soldiers guarding the door to push it open completely.
When I entered the room, Cassander was reporting the situation: "The Amur mercenaries outside the city have looted several villages and manors close to the city, and occupied these houses to use as camps. They are scattered in these manors and villages. If they are infantry, I would suggest going out of the city to surprise them."
Bruce: "But they are all cavalry, so they can quickly support each other."
Bruce then looked at Wang and Elizabeth who entered the room and said, "Last night's hero is here. Wait, is there one missing?"
Wang: "Yes. Xiaobai was held down by Ms. Meili and is changing clothes."
Bruce smiled and glanced at the other barons and viscounts: "No one here can disobey Lady Merry. Even when we are all grown up, she can still spank all of us!"
The knights responded politely to the Duke's joke.
