Chapter 1068: Chapter 304: Taking the Initiative (10,000)_3

"I’ve also tallied the soldiers who can continue the city defense."

"Including the logistics personnel, there are about fifteen thousand people in total."

"And I’ve also tallied the expenditure on arrows, rolling wood and stones, armor, and weapons used in the city defense campaign..."

Before Danke could finish speaking, Godfrey, who had his back to him, suddenly spoke.

"In this city defense campaign, how many enemies have been slain?"

Sensing the tone in Godfrey’s voice, Danke did not dare to hesitate and quickly responded.

"My lord, we have slain a total of twelve thousand soldiers of Marquis Polk!"

As the words fell, and seeing that Godfrey was silent, Danke tentatively asked.

"My lord, the losses of Marquis Polk are far greater than ours!"

Godfrey pondered for a moment and responded.

"I understand."

"Assign personnel to clean up all the corpses outside the city walls to prevent them from rotting and causing an outbreak of plague."

"At the same time, mobilize the residents inside the city to gather materials to repair the city walls, gates, and other defensive structures."

"After such a battle, without gathering enough soldiers, they certainly won’t launch another attack."

Danke lowered his head and quickly agreed, "Yes, my lord!"

Godfrey’s gaze remained on the darkness in the distance as he asked.

"Have the messenger soldiers been dispatched back to Bordeaux City?"

Danke immediately responded, "My lord, as soon as I received your instructions, I dispatched a cavalry unit back to Bordeaux City at once."

"And I specifically instructed them to deliver the letter you wrote to Marquis Mark Ducas at all costs."

Godfrey nodded without saying a word.

Currently, Marquis Polk is gathering the vassals from his territory, amassing more troops.

If they cannot receive strong military aid.

Then.

The next time the Marquis of Bordeaux launches a siege.

It will be the time when Spirit Reef Port falls!

And also when the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers perish!

Just as Godfrey was about to dismiss Danke behind him, something instantly came to his mind.

Godfrey turned around and looked at Danke, whose armor and cheeks were stained with blood, and asked in a deep voice.

"Lawrence... Is Lord Lawrence still in the Siren’s Nest?"

Danke hesitated a bit, but still responded.

"My lord... since the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers took Spirit Reef Port, Lord Lawrence has not left the Siren’s Nest..."

"Especially after acquiring two sea sirens, he hasn’t stepped out of the room even half a step..."

Listening to Danke’s explanation, Godfrey’s expression instantly turned extremely cold.

The Sword and Shield Corps soldiers have gone through two city defense campaigns, fighting bravely and fearlessly.

All just to help the Ducas Clan protect this Spirit Reef Port beneath their feet!

But now.

As the bloodline heir of the Ducas Clan, and currently the highest commander-in-chief of Spirit Reef Port.

Lawrence Ducas has been lost in the embrace of two women of alien bloodline, unable to extricate himself!

The soldiers holding the line on the city walls.

Those who died defending the city.

What was it for?

Godfrey, knowing Lawrence well.

Godfrey naturally knows what kind of character Lawrence has.

But if these soldiers of the Sword and Shield Corps fighting would know.

It would certainly cause their morale, slowly dwindling after experiencing a life-and-death battle, to completely collapse!

Moreover.

Marquis Polk doesn’t even need to launch another attack.

All the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers in Spirit Reef Port would break and flee!

Godfrey said nothing, taking steps toward the nearby stairs.

Seeing Godfrey’s back, Danke was slightly surprised in his heart and quickly asked.

"My lord, you are..."

Godfrey made no response, not slowing his pace as he walked down the city wall.

Seeing this, Danke quickly called a squad of soldiers to follow behind Godfrey.

Descending from the city wall, walking on the streets of Spirit Reef Port.

Godfrey’s eyes shifted.

Squad after squad of soldiers were still transporting water from all directions, putting out the fires consuming the buildings.

The figures running, pushing two-wheeled carts, and the sound of chaotic footsteps.

Perhaps because they came down from the city walls into the city itself.

Godfrey could clearly see.

Amidst rubble and collapsed house ruins, beneath bricks and wooden debris.

There lay bodies that had already lost signs of life...

People who lost their blood relatives knelt on the ground, wailing in agony...

Even.

Some people no longer had the strength to wail, only able to weep silently, lying prone on the ground...

Looking at these shapes, Godfrey, who had experienced many wars, had no change in expression.

For the lords, waging war is nothing more than the exchange and replacement of land and city sovereignty.

But for these residents living in the city.

Every war is a farewell of life and death, a torment of the soul!

This is also why so many people choose to become Church believers.

They yearn for God’s protection amid such a difficult living environment!

Even if they have never seen the true God.

Even if they know they are just deceiving themselves.

Yet they still continue, one after another, eagerly pursuing it.

Because that is their only spiritual solace!

With Danke leading the soldier squad escorting him.

In the darkness of the still-standing houses, under the cold gaze of beastly eyes watching them.
