Live Stream: I Am A Lord In Another World

Although the war had ended, there was still a significant amount of work to be done.

The treatment of prisoners and the cleaning up of the battlefield required a lot of manpower and time.

In Florencia City, the gates were opened, and orderly teams of soldiers marched out.

Meanwhile, on the city walls, two thousand crossbowmen remained on high alert.

Immediately after, the militia Richard had temporarily recruited went out to collect all the weapons from the rebels and chain their hands and feet.

Richard had prepared a substantial amount of such chains.

These chains were not expensive online. A single set of chains cost only about ten yuan.

Richard bought several tens of thousands of sets in one go, which only cost a few hundred thousand.

The entire cleanup of the battlefield, treatment and statistics of prisoners, and categorization took almost three days to complete.

Eventually, the battle report reached Richard.

In this battle, there were a total of 72,000 rebels. Over 15,000 were killed, more than 24,000 were injured, and over 33,000 were uninjured.

The number of deaths was not as high as imagined.

Many people, after being shot, were merely injured and did not die.

There were indeed quite a few who were electrocuted, but many who were shocked merely lost control of their bodies temporarily and recovered after a while.

In total, over 57,000 rebels were captured.

Richard’s side, on the other hand, had suffered very few losses.

Only a little over a hundred crossbowmen were accidentally injured, and two crossbowmen, who made a mistake while climbing the low walls and didn’t hook properly, were caught and killed by the rebels.

Richard provided substantial compensation to the families of these two crossbowmen, and this compensation was not a one-time payment but given monthly.

The compensation set by Richard was quite high and very humane.

For soldiers who died in battle, if there were elderly people at home, each elderly person received 50 copper coins per month until death.

For soldiers with children, each child received 100 copper coins per month until they reached adulthood.

As for the wives of deceased soldiers, they could receive 100 copper coins per month for three years, and Richard’s city would also prioritize offering them job positions.

In this way, all soldiers who fought for him had no worries about their families!

Such benefits were truly unique.

As for the other soldiers, none were injured.

The minotaurs had a few minor injuries, which were negligible. The centaurs were similarly not much injured.

The fighting strength of these rebels was indeed too weak. After all, they were just commoners.

The armor worn by the minotaurs and centaurs was not for show.

The rebels had very few ranged weapons. In the final battle, even after the minotaurs and centaurs threw away their shields, they continued to wreak havoc.

To prevent the spread of disease, the deceased rebels were uniformly cremated and their ashes were transported to a distant place for burial.

For the injured rebels, Richard sent military doctors to treat minor wounds with iodine and disinfect them. Those with severe injuries had no other options.

“Lord, the people originally from the northeastern region have been accounted for, totaling 28,000. The rest of the rebels came from other regions.”

In the city hall, Fred handed a report to Richard.

Richard flipped through it. After a few pages, he looked at Fred and asked, “Have all the people been identified?”

Fred replied, “Most have been identified. We also distinguished those who committed crimes after joining the rebels; there are nearly 13,000 of them. The remaining rebels were mostly coerced, and their status within the insurgent forces was not high.”

Richard pondered for a moment and said, “Good job, Fred.”

“It’s my duty to serve the lord.”

After a brief pause, Fred added, “Lord, I would like to recommend someone.”

Richard looked at him and asked, “Who?”

Fred said, “An old friend of mine, a baron, whose territory was also taken during this conflict. He barely escaped with his life and lost most of his assets. He is willing to serve the lord.”

Richard asked, “What is he skilled in?”

Fred replied, “He has some expertise in education. In his youth, he taught at the Royal Academy in the capital.”

Richard said, “Alright, let him take charge of the school. However, I need to discuss it with him. Let’s arrange a meeting for tomorrow.”

“Thank you, lord. I will inform him.”

“Good!”

After finishing the conversation with Fred, Richard left the city hall and boarded his carriage, traveling through the city.

In Florencia City, nearly everyone was discussing the recent battle.

The outcome of the battle had been published in the newspapers.

Florencia City, outnumbered, achieved a significant victory at a minimal cost, which greatly uplifted the spirits of the city’s residents!

Now, whenever people in Florencia City talked about Richard, their tone was filled with deep admiration.

Many citizens even referred to him as the “War God”!

Defeating tens of thousands of rebels in just over an hour was a feat that many had never heard of and could hardly imagine!

Before the war began, the people of Florencia City were somewhat concerned.

After all, the rebels were numerous, surpassing the total population of Florencia City.

So now, Richard’s prestige has reached an unprecedented height!

Wherever he went, he was greeted by crowds of people looking at him with extreme admiration. Even the newly arrived refugees held Richard in the highest regard!

“Hey, I can draw prizes again!”

In the carriage, Richard discovered that he could draw the lottery once more.

In fact, Richard just realized that he had been able to draw the lottery for a while now. He hadn’t been paying close attention to the system every day.

When busy, aside from his time spent live streaming and purchasing things online, Richard rarely focused on his prestige.

Now, he found that he could draw three times!

After all, so much time had passed, and even though the prestige required for each draw was increasing, with the growth of his territory’s population, he had accumulated enough prestige to draw multiple times.

Richard noticed that he could choose to draw one at a time, or all three at once.

“Let’s draw all three at once.”

Drawing all three together meant potentially bigger rewards.

Now, after multiple draws, Richard had learned two spells: Intermediate Fire Control and Beginner Wind Control.

Additionally, his mastery of magic had been upgraded once.

Richard also knew Beginner Archery and Beginner Combat Skills, and his physical abilities had been enhanced to 3.5 times that of an ordinary person.

He wondered what he would get from drawing all three prizes at once.

Richard selected the draw.

【Draw successful. Congratulations, host. You have obtained the magical skill: Beginner Magic Scroll Crafting, and the skill: Intermediate Archery.】

The system’s voice announced.

Two skills!

And a Magic Scroll Crafting skill!

Richard couldn’t help but think about the magic scroll in his possession. He hadn’t used that thing yet.

Magic scrolls are undoubtedly very useful.

Although they have limited uses, the main benefit of a magic scroll is that it can store magic, providing an additional powerful tool at crucial moments.

Moreover, magic scrolls can hold a considerable amount of magic.

This means that the magic cast through a scroll can be more powerful than what one can cast directly.

Magic scrolls can also be given to others.

For Richard, obtaining this skill was quite a good thing. Now he could craft his own magic scrolls.

Indeed, drawing all three at once proved to be more effective.

Obtaining a Magic Scroll Crafting skill was already quite impressive, and Richard also got Intermediate Archery.

With Beginner Archery, Richard could ensure accuracy within 20 meters, but his performance diminished when moving or at longer distances.

Intermediate Archery was clearly stronger, and Advanced Archery would be even more powerful.

Furthermore, with Richard’s current 3.5 times physical enhancement, he could draw the bow many times in succession.

Additionally, his storage space contained 100 crossbows with arrows.

This meant Richard could perform 100 consecutive shots.

“I should see if I can custom-order a heavy bow.”

Richard thought.

The bows available online are already quite powerful, but the draw weight isn’t very high, and Richard felt there was still room for improvement.

In the future, he could equip the fox archers with longbows that have a range comparable to the English longbows.

English longbows can reach over 300 meters and had immense penetration power, even capable of piercing through iron plate armor.

Of course, such longbows have a slower firing rate. According to the information Richard learned before crossing over, a competent archer could only shoot six to seven arrows per minute with such a longbow.

Drawing the bow fully is no easy task.

Additionally, training archers to use such bows is also challenging; it might take a year of training to produce a competent archer.

For the fox archers, using longbows would be feasible since they have greater arm strength and are skilled in archery.

This would allow the fox archers to be more effective.

After all, with Richard having spent a huge amount to acquire 2,000 crossbows, the area within 50 meters is dominated by crossbowmen.

In the future, if he manages to persuade the elf tribe, Richard could also customize bows based on the elves’ needs.

However, the factory where Richard currently orders bows and crossbows refused to customize bows with greater power. Richard suspected that the factory’s level is still somewhat inadequate and was preparing to find a new one.

Spending a little more money should solve the problem. As long as you’re willing to pay, nothing is insurmountable.

After the draw, Richard did not rush to test the new skill.

He still had one important task to complete.

That was to visit the prisoner camp personally.

With the prisoners categorized, the next step was to properly arrange them before Richard could focus on retaking Stone Fort City.

Until the prisoners were properly settled, he couldn’t afford to rush out.

After all, with his limited personnel and such a large number of prisoners, if he left with a large force and Florencia City fell into chaos, it would be a great loss.

Despite his youth, Richard was quite composed in his actions.

The prisoner camp was not located within the city but outside it.

Currently, a major road was being constructed along the city’s southern gate.

This road was ten meters wide, and over twenty thousand people were working on this road.

Among these, there are the prisoners from the defeated bandits, the prisoners from the defeated rebels, and workers sent by Richard.

The northeastern region does not have particularly many mountains. The mountains are concentrated towards the beast territory side.

For example, to the north of Richard’s territory, there are large areas of mountainous terrain.

The terrain here is relatively flat.

Additionally, the geological structure is quite stable, and the foundation is solid. There won’t be issues like earthquakes or landslides.

Thus, the construction of the road progresses quickly.

The road construction has only just begun. After the war, the minotaurs also joined in on the construction.

When encountering large rocks, the minotaurs were needed. With over twenty thousand people and the minotaurs working together, progress was quite fast.

Several kilometers of road was completed each day.

Additionally, there was a dedicated team of a thousand people working on hardening the road surface.

After the city construction, Richard’s craftsmen have become quite familiar with the properties of cement. Under the guidance of these craftsmen, the road surface hardening work was proceeding rapidly.

Having electricity makes things much more convenient.

Richard specifically purchased a stone crusher and a cement mixer online. Both machines only require electricity to operate.

When these machines arrived, Richard’s craftsmen were thoroughly astonished.

In addition to these, Richard also purchased a concrete vibrator, concrete leveling machine, and other tools.

This way, any stones encountered along the road can be crushed and used for surface hardening.

As for the sand, it will be taken from the Kava River. There was plenty of sand in the river, which would last a long time.

This wide road will pass through Stonefort City and then head to the southern part of the northeastern region.

To get rich, you first need to build roads!

Although the northeastern region isn’t fully under control yet, the road construction can start early.

With the integration of prisoners from this battle, in the coming days, a large number of prisoners will join the road construction project. With tens of thousands of people working together, the road will be completed in no time.

Soon, Richard arrived at the prisoner camp.

The camp was enormous.

There were tens of thousands of prisoners inside.

However, the prisoners had already been categorized.

On one side were those who had committed crimes after joining the rebel army.

On the other side were those who had been forced into the rebel army and had not committed crimes.

The number of rebellious prisoners was considerable, over 13,000.

Of course, the northeastern region is so large that even if some of the forced rebels wanted to commit crimes, they had few opportunities.

Moreover, the criminals were mainly from General Rigg’s elite troops, who suffered huge losses. Many of those who charged the city walls were killed, and many of the troops protecting General Rigg were also killed by the minotaurs and centaurs.

“Escort them away.”

Richard glanced at the rebels and said.

These guys would work as laborers until they died.

The over 13,000 rebels were escorted away by over a thousand soldiers to start road construction.

Richard then turned his attention to the remaining nearly 40,000 prisoners.

These 40,000 were also divided into two groups.

One group consisted of the conscripts captured by General Rigg in the northeastern region, numbering around 28,000.

The other group was the conscripts brought from the south by General Rigg, totaling over 12,000.

Richard went up to a high platform and approached a standing microphone, speaking slowly.

“I know you were forced into this.”

Richard’s voice, amplified by several loudspeakers, became much louder.

The booming voice echoed throughout the entire prisoner camp.

Some of the prisoners felt relieved when they heard Richard’s voice, as it meant they wouldn’t be killed, since they were indeed forced into their current situation.

Richard, with a commanding gaze, surveyed all the prisoners and spoke again, “Therefore, I will give you a chance!”

Upon hearing this, the prisoners all looked up at him.

Richard continued, “For those of you who came from the south, you will be assigned to labor work. As long as you perform well, in as little as three months or as long as a year, you can regain your freedom. Once freed, you may choose to reside in my territory and work for me to earn wages.”

Hearing this, those from the south also relaxed their expressions.

Labor work was certainly better than being killed.

Richard added, “As for those who were originally from the northeastern region, you also have a chance. You can join me in recapturing Stone Fort City. Once Stone Fort City is retaken, you can not only return to your homes and regain your freedom, but you can also work in my city to earn money. I can guarantee that you will never lack food!”
