Chapter 130 Dividing the Population
The Warcraft Cavalry restrained the Boiling Blood Converts. Richard led the team to charge several times, shooting and killing more than a dozen Boiling Blood Converts each time.
After several rounds, the Boiling Blood Converts were no longer a force to be reckoned with, and only a few dozen were left.
The Boiling Blood Converts were defeated, and the remaining rebels were no match for the Warcraft Cavalry, and were quickly defeated.
After this defeat, the rebels in Brena County were no longer a force to be reckoned with.
After the battle, Richard quietly opened the attribute panel.

Killing Gao Liwen increased his experience by 32,000 points, and Richard's Crazy Lion Legion Breathing Method can be advanced.
It is relatively easy to increase experience with the Crazy Lion Legion Breathing Method, and Richard does not intend to use the killing experience on the breathing method.
Instead, he plans to continue to accumulate killing experience and improve his meditation method.
After the battle, Richard arranged for Baron Sharp to lead the Black River County noble coalition to capture the defeated soldiers, clean up the battlefield, and collect the spoils.
It was not until the evening that the results of the battle were counted.
Baron Prani took a page of paper and reported the results to Richard.
"Commander, we killed Cardinal Gallivan, 200 Boiling Blood converts, 600 evil god believers, 37 missionaries, and more than 1,600 serfs in this battle."
After this battle, Richard's prestige in Brena County increased greatly. Even though Baron Franklin hated Richard very much, he could not say anything on the surface.
There will always be casualties in war, and there must be people who gnaw bones.
Unless Franklin can become the commander, it's a pity that he has no Warcraft cavalry.
The reason why Duke Roger entrusted Richard with an important task is because Richard has Warcraft cavalry.
If Richard is unwilling to cooperate, this battle will never be won.
In order to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, Richard must be reused and his subjective initiative must be brought into play.
It is very difficult to form a Warcraft cavalry. It takes thousands of gold coins to buy dozens of Warcraft horses. In addition, armor, weapons, and enchanted crossbows all require a lot of resources.
The most important thing is to have an elite group of soldiers and enough professional officers to bring out the powerful combat effectiveness of the Warcraft Cavalry.
It often takes tens of thousands of gold coins to form a squadron of Warcraft Cavalry, and there must be enough elite soldiers.
Although Baron Franklin has some family background, it is difficult for him to come up with such a huge amount of funds. Even if he took out the money, he did not have elite soldiers and a large number of professional officers.
If Richard had not killed the wyvern, relied on the resources of the wyvern, made enchanted bows and arrows, and trained a group of professionals, he might not have been able to set up the Warcraft Cavalry.
The survival rule of the nobles is strength first. Without strength, they are naturally controlled by others.
Hearing the beheading statistics, Richard thought to himself: "I killed Gao Liwen and will be rewarded with three great merits. Commanding the victory of the rebellion war in Brena County will also be rewarded with merits. I wonder if killing the boiling blood converts counts as merits?"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Richard asked: "How are the casualties of each unit?"
"From the statistical figures, Franklin's central army suffered the heaviest casualties, with more than 400 casualties, about 160 killed and about 300 injured. The left wing led by me suffered more than 180 casualties, 40 killed. The right wing suffered more than 300 casualties, 80 killed.
Four Warcraft cavalrymen were killed and 11 were seriously injured. One Warcraft warhorse was killed and one was disabled."
"How many prisoners were captured?"
"More than 300 cultists were captured, and there were nine missionaries and ordinary serfs. Two thousand six hundred people were captured."
"What about the refugees who were dragged away?"
Baron Prani's face changed and he explained a few words.
"There are more than 40,000 refugees, all of whom are ordinary people and have not committed any crime."
These ordinary refugees all come from the two lost baronies.
Brenna County is located in the south of Geda Province, and after years of development, its population is denser than that of Heihe County.
There are less than 50,000 people living in the two baronies.
These people who have lost their lords have been regarded as fat meat by the nobles of Brenna County, and everyone wants to take a bite.
But Prani actually ignored Richard, the dragon crossing the river.
After listening to Brenna's explanation, Richard's face changed and said: "There are cultists here, and they need to be taken back to Heihe County for careful identification."
"Your Excellency the Baron, the priests of the Dawn Church can release soul detection magic to identify the evil god believers, so I'm afraid they don't need to go to Heihe County?"
"Are you going to object to my opinion?"
"Of course I dare not oppose Sir Richard, but others may have opinions. If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that someone will make a fuss in the Noble Council, and everyone will know about it. Everyone will be in trouble, and the capital will benefit in the end."
Although the Harland family has some strength, it does not have much influence in the Noble Council.
Besides, Richard has already had a conflict with Governor Jerram and offended Prince Felix and his gang, so he will naturally not offend the nobles of Brena County again.
This matter will eventually be settled after secret consultations and the division of interests.
Negotiation is the art of compromise. Richard's personality is not suitable for negotiation, so he handed the matter over to Hayden.
The nobles bargained for a few days, and finally the Black River Castle Noble Coalition obtained 21,000 people.
Richard gave 2,000 to Baron Sharp, and 300 to each of the five Barons Les. The remaining 18,000 people belonged to Harland.
From Osma Castle to Harland, it is about 200 kilometers away.
The refugee army can walk at most 30 to 40 miles a day, and it will take at least 10 days to return to Harland.
The food consumed along the way is estimated to be several hundred tons.
Because Richard's appetite is too big, the nobles of Brena are willing to laugh at him, and they unite to block Richard and stop selling food.
The food in the army is fixed. If 300 tons of food are allocated from the military rations to the refugees, it will give others a handle.
Unexpectedly, Richard has the space magic equipment Starlight Bottle. When he went on the expedition, the Starlight Bottle was filled with 300 tons of food. Saving a little is enough for the refugees to return to Harland.
Richard still has military affairs to attend to, so he took out the food stored in the Starlight Bottle and sent Martin and Vito with the first and fifth squadrons to escort the refugees back to Harland.
In this battle, the Black River Fort coalition seized a large amount of spoils, and more than 300 pieces of armor were collected. Half of them were distributed to the Brena coalition, which could arm a squadron of armored soldiers.
Including the batch of chain mails given by Governor Jerram, Richard already had more than 500 pieces of armor. Almost every veteran brought from Harland had armor for self-defense.
Richard even gave 30 pieces of armor to Baron Sharp.
