Iron Harvest: When Farming Becomes Conquest

Chapter 415: Chapter 19: Kill You, and Your Things Become Mine

In the face of soldier casualties, Roman initially felt intense sadness, but now there is only a sigh.

He sent people to transport the bodies of the warriors back and buried them in Origin City’s cemetery, then reinforced those fortresses with additional troops.

War does not only bring losses, but also gains.

There is no need to mention ordinary materials for now.

There are between two to three thousand captives alone.

These captives were common folks in the past, summoned now purely to serve as consumables and cheap labor.

Most of them were gaunt and pale, with a mouth full of rotten teeth, belonging to inferior goods among slaves, unlikely to fetch a good price.

Roman happened to have captured so many captives—unless it’s a siege, the victorious side couldn’t catch many captives.

At that time, he led the troops northward, sweeping along in a formidable manner from the frontline.

On the other side, Ed gathered a small group of remaining troops and captured the mercenary camp at the rear, where many farmers and menials couldn’t escape in time and became captives.

Roman had a complete process for handling this group of laborers—enslaving captives was his only method of population absorption.

But not all of these captives were manual laborers.
