Chapter 40 The Loot Store

The bloody head of Kokeb was passed in the hands of the Kurdish cavalry.

Like a heavy hammer, it hit the hearts of those who resisted.

These Kurdish cavalry, even if they dismounted to fight, they are still skilled in combat.

And they cooperated tacitly, like jackals wandering in the desert, two by two, using the fastest and least chivalrous means to end the lives of the enemies one by one.

They are killing machines, without the slightest mercy, faithfully carrying out Lothar's order to kill all armed weapons.

Lothar didn't participate in the war anymore. He didn't hope that one day, he would treat living people as fillers for experience slots.

After a long time, the shouting and killing completely subsided.

The Kurdish soldiers drove the unarmed defenders and servants to the open space outside the manor.

Abdullah came to Lothar with a mace covered in blood and flesh.

He looked at Lothar's side face, and saw that he looked calm, as if everything had been calculated, and his heart trembled a little.

He lowered his head and said respectfully: "The holy flame will burn forever, Kokbu's loyalists have been purged, and all the prisoners who put down their weapons have been centralized and guarded."

Lothar nodded: "Let everyone disperse and collect the loot. Our time is limited, and I urge everyone not to be blinded by wealth."

"Also, remember to group in twos, be careful of sneak attacks from hidden enemies."

There was a smile on Abdullah's face. As the lord of one party, Kaukb had accumulated a lot of wealth over the years.

Even if you only take gold and silver utensils and coins, that is not a small fortune.

Mamluks, no matter how devout their beliefs and no matter how brave their battles, will not struggle with money.

"Don't worry, my lord, my boys are all experienced fighters, no one will do such a stupid thing."

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lothar's ears.

You activated the milestone and attacked the city (you successfully led your soldiers and retinues to capture the enemy lord's castle, and killed the enemy lord to show off to the public).

Reward: Activate the Loot Shop.

Loot Store: You can sell loot to the system mall, and the system will evaluate the value and give you gold and silver coins.

Lothar's expression moved slightly, which was a timely help for him.

He was worrying about how to choose valuable trophies. There were only four of him here, and the trophies he could get were very limited.

"Abdullah, let's go too."

Lothar immediately let go of his reserve and walked towards the manor inside the castle.

A Kurdish soldier was about to rush into a room to search for belongings, but he was shocked to find that the room was empty.

Furniture, carpets, murals, utensils, everything disappeared.

"Holy fire, what happened?"

"It's like overwhelming locusts rushing into the fields."

The Kurdish soldiers looked at several rooms in a row, but they were all empty.

His companion yelled to remind him: "Go over there, we have already searched here, Lord Lothar gave us the right to choose the spoils first."

"Searched?"

"How can the search be so clean?"

The soldiers were bewildered.

Lothar ran wildly from room to room.

Silver chamber pots, red pine cabinets, velvet mattresses, glazed porcelain vases, tables, chairs and benches.
In short, except for the floor, all things that could be disassembled and judged as trophies by the system were all sold off by him.

Like bandits crossing the border.

Anyway, he just dipped his hand, touched it lightly, and disappeared.

The final income, minus the odds, is a total of [-] gold coins produced by the system, with his portrait depicted on them, which Lothar can take at any time.

Although the printing of his own face on the gold coin made him feel a bit dead, but it was not presumptuous, because many local lords in this era had the right to mint coins.

It just depends on whether there are gold and silver mines in the fief. If the high-value currency is melted down, lead and tin are added to cast bad coins, it is still possible to be held accountable by the fief.

Like the high-quality gold and silver coins produced by the system, they are hard currency everywhere, and they can also make him famous.

"Only eight hundred pieces?"

Lothar was a little disappointed.

He just walked around all the rooms that the Kurdish soldiers had raided, and he sold out all the big items they missed.

That's only [-] gold coins.

Lothar didn't believe it, the items in the territory of this powerful prince of Kokbu were only worth such a small amount of money.

In addition to these large valuables that are inconvenient to carry, as well as those low-value items, the Lothar and Kurdish cavalry also searched for a large number of portable gold and silver treasures.

These gold and silver products have the added value of craftsmanship, and Lothar is not willing to sell them directly to the system.

It's a pity that living things cannot be sold through the loot shop, otherwise it would be a lot of money.

The "living creatures" here refer to livestock and war horses.

Lothar wasn't crazy enough to sell all the captives through the system.

"Everyone, one person and two horses, leave quickly."

"Don't bring too many things, food and fodder, water bags, feed is the most important thing."

Lothar ordered loudly.

At the same time, he came to the captives, and under the terrified gaze of the person in the front, he cut the rope that bound him with a sword: "You are free."

The captives looked at each other.

"Go, unchain your companions."

"My lord Saladin is a magnanimous man. The reason why he used cruel measures against your lord Kokbu is all because of his arrogance and humiliation to our lord."

"You can tell King Sassanid that if any of his lords dare to be rude to our lord Saladin, I guarantee that they will meet the same fate."

After all, Lothar turned around, led the Kurdish cavalry, set off a gust of wind, and roared away.

The black cloak and the fluttering flame eagle banner gradually faded away in their gaze.

At this time, a few loyal servants took the bad horses that Lothar and his party did not want, and rushed towards the garrison in the oasis near the wooden castle.

An oasis near Kaukb's territory.

Caukeb's eldest son, Saiful, who commanded a hundred armored cavalry, was leading the soldiers, preparing to rush to the wooden castle that was rising in the distance.

No one has raided here for many years.

He couldn't figure out which army would attack a wooden fort in the desert in such a frenzied manner. Didn't they consider the issue of supplies?

At this time.

A servant on a war horse hurried over and knelt down on the ground.

"Lord Sever, Lord Cockab was killed by the army sent by Saladin."

His face was flushed, and he said with a sad expression: "My lord, we have to avenge Lord Cokebu, that group of Saladin's cavalry hasn't gone far."

Cypher looked at the person who came to report in amazement: "What did you say, say it again?"

The messenger was full of grief: "The lord is dead!"

"Order troops immediately, let's go back and save Master Kokbu!"

The messenger looked astonished: "But Master Kokbu is dead."

"Shut up, Master Kokbu is not dead!"

Sai Fuer cut down the messenger in front of him with a sword, and shouted loudly: "Master Kokbu is under attack, I have been appointed to command all the troops, and rush to rescue him immediately."

Among the several cavalry units under Kokbu's command, this small oasis where he was stationed was the closest to the wooden fort.

The group of Saladin's soldiers left in a hurry, as long as they arrived by themselves, the entire wooden castle and the wealth that Kokbu had accumulated over the years would be his own!
As for chasing the Saladin cavalry who had left?

What a joke!
To be able to break through the wooden castle so quickly, one can imagine how elite this army is, and he doesn't want to waste his hard-earned team on this kind of thing.

With enthusiasm, Saiful almost took the lead, leading the cavalry team under his command, and rushed into the wooden castle all the way through billowing smoke and dust.

"Immediately block the wooden castle, if anyone comes, they must be stopped outside."

He ordered loudly.

But after entering the wooden castle, his heart immediately became half cold.

"This?"

"How is this going?"

It was originally beautiful, like a manor of the royal court, but now it seems to be blown by a sandstorm.

Not to mention property, even several large stone sculptures in front of the manor were removed.

"This is simply digging three feet into the ground!"

"Are they stupid? Carrying so much weight, how can they escape our pursuit?"

"Catch me, they won't be far away!"

He said angrily.

At this moment, the guard rushed into the door and shouted loudly: "My lord, it's not good, Lord Longde has brought the troops over and asked to enter the wooden castle immediately."

Lund is the second son of Kokbu and his biggest competitor for his succession.

Sai Fuer's face froze. He thought the wooden castle was a great treasure, but he never thought that he didn't have farts. Now that he took the lead in entering the castle, wouldn't it be that his ass was stained with yellow soup?

Saiful was anxious and angry, after thinking twice, he still said: "Let them in!"

Lund led someone to rush in, but he was also dumbfounded: "Saifer, did you do this?"

Saiful said unhappily: "How is it possible? How long have I only been here? With so many treasures, where can I hide them? They were all removed by those lackeys of Saladin."

"But don't worry, they will not be able to run fast with so many things."

"Call the soldiers and horses immediately, let's go after them!"

But when Sever and his party chased after the traces left by Lothar and his party, they found that the hoof prints were very shallow and there were no ruts.

Lund's face was full of anger, and he scolded: "Saifer, do you think I am a brainless idiot? I have already tortured those soft-boned pariahs, and Saladin's men didn't take much away at all."

Cypher drew out his weapon with a slap in the face: "Didn't you torture yourself and find out that I didn't arrive much earlier than you?"

"Stop quibbling, Sever, you are simply not worthy to be your father's son. When your father was killed, you didn't want to pursue the enemy, but emptied your father's inheritance."

Lund shouted: "Soldiers, look at the ugly face of this despicable person. Are you willing to serve this kind of person or to me, the great Lund."

"shut up!"

Frustrated, Cypher slashed with his sword.

His confidants naturally followed suit.

The two sides fought together, so there was no intention of chasing the Kurdish cavalry.

Besides, it was useless to chase. The cavalry team with one man and two horses had already run more than ten miles away.
