The tropical rainforest is humid and hot, but the air is filled with a pungent smell of blood.

A decisive battle that seemed to be a shocking battle in the Kingdom of Aceh came to an end. Tens of thousands of indigenous troops were easily defeated by cunning attacks, and they fled into the dense jungle.

The 12th Corps and mercenaries also stopped pursuing the indigenous troops of Aceh State after the collapse of the country's indigenous troops.

They were not interested in the Ottoman elimination goods equipped by the Aceh army. They just transported these firearms back to the local area and recasted, and the cost was higher than the value of the iron obtained by melting.

"Buried these corpses on the spot. The weather here is hot. If they are not processed as soon as possible, it is likely to cause a plague." Huang Degong directed the soldiers to clean the battlefield. Compared with the worthless spoils, he was more concerned about the possibility of plague.

"It's simpler than we thought. I didn't expect the battle to end so soon." Many soldiers went to the river to clean the blood stains on their bodies after the battle. The pungent smell of blood made them feel uncomfortable.

"We must prevent the enemy from making a comeback and return to the bastion as soon as possible!" Although Huang Degong knew that it would take a long time to reorganize the army of Aceh after the collapse of the collapse, in order to avoid the military genius in the other side's army turning the tide, he still made the worst plan.

After burying the dead in battle, the soldiers who had cleared the battlefield outside retreated to the bastion, and only a dozen sentries wandered outside.

"Your Excellency, see who I am captive!" Lihua Zhongmao came to see Huang Degong with a special prisoner.

This is a woman covered in a veil, and she can only see her slender figure and beautiful eyes.

"This...is it the local people of Aceh State called Queen Alan?" When Huang Degong saw that the decorations on her were of great value, he immediately thought of Queen Alan, who replaced the king of Aceh State.

There was a hint of indomitableness in the queen's eyes, and she spoke to the chief who invaded their land in words that neither Huang Degong nor Lihua Zhongmao understood.

"What are she talking about...Where are the Portuguese?" Huang Degong could not understand the local dialect of Sumatra, so he had to ask the Portuguese to go find the Portuguese.

"She asked you why you did not keep your promise of a fair decisive battle and launched a sudden attack when their warriors retreated. She also scolded a lot of bad words, and I won't convey it to you." The Portuguese said respectfully to Huang Degong.

"The Chinese military strategy is to be fooled by war. To achieve the goal of war with the smallest sacrifice is the winner." Huang Degong said naturally.

This time, the defeat of tens of thousands of troops of Aceh State killed and injured about a few hundred people on the other side, but the losses of our own side were only a few.

The most serious problem with the indigenous army that Aceh temporarily pieced together is morale. Once some forces collapse, the entire army will collapse.

The Queen of Aceh seemed very angry when she heard the Portuguese's reposts, and her tone became sharp, as if anger was about to ejaculate in her eyes.

"Sir, she..."

"You don't need to explain that I know that she must have scolded something ugly, but it doesn't matter. If you ask her if she is willing to be loyal to us, if she can surrender the army of Aceh to serve us, maybe I can be lenient to her, otherwise I might do something excessive." Huang Degong said.

The Portuguese told him to the Queen of Aceh.

Queen Alan took two steps back nervously, reached out to block her chest, as if she had said something again.

"She said if we try to invade her, she will only die." The Portuguese said.

"No one wants to violate her... let her lead the people of Aceh to submit to our rule, allocate part of the land to us, and not to harasse all the facilities we have built on this land." Huang Degong said.

Queen Alan was relieved after hearing the Portuguese and then put down her hands that were blocking her chest.

She thought for a moment, shook her head, and said a lot of things.

"After we have executed the king of Aceh, she was pushed to the throne by the twelve great nobles of Aceh. That is to say, she has no real power in the kingdom and has been overshadowed by the twelve nobles. She lacks power and cannot make the great nobles surrender. Moreover, her husband was executed by us, and she wished she could kill you." The Portuguese conveyed it on his behalf.

Huang Degong frowned slightly. He originally thought that the queen of Aceh took over the king and opposed them. As long as he captured the queen alive, he might be able to support a puppet regime on Sumatra. But now it seems that the power of Aceh has fallen into the hands of the great nobles everywhere, and the situation has become more complicated.

"It's hard to say it's a good thing or a bad thing... Without the king commanding this indigenous kingdom, we captured the queen, and they can no longer organize such a large-scale army to attack us. I think soon the twelve nobles will attack and check and balance each other because of the loss of the king's power. Maybe someone will even sell the territory to us to get our help. As for the disadvantage, the situation here may be that it is more complicated, and we need to spend a lot of energy to balance the nobles from all over the country."

"Our mission to land on Sumatra this time has been completed. We conquered Medan, found the oil field, and then taught Aceh a lesson. In addition to leaving 300 people to continue building this bastion and refinery, a team of 100 people and drilling teams to mine the oil field, others return to Malacca City. The materials for building refineries and pipelines will be transported from Malacca City. The freezing of three feet is not a day. Building refineries and pipelines for twenty miles is a protracted event. Our 2,000 people will consume a lot of food and grass and cannot bear it at all."

Huang Degong and a group of officers made inferences about the current situation and believed that the leaderless Aceh State was unable to organize a second attack. Even if the opponent organized a second attack, the fortresses on the coast and the fortresses of the oil fields had been built, and at that time, they would no longer be afraid of the attacks of the indigenous kingdoms.

"Sir, how should I deal with this woman?" An officer asked Huang Degong about Queen Alan who was left alone.

"Since the power of Aceh has been taken over by the great nobles, it is useless to keep this person..." Huang Degong was not a good man. The king of Aceh who was caught was killed and there was no hesitation at all.

Because it doesn't make much sense to hand over the captured king to the military headquarters. There are many kings and nobles in the South China Kingdom, and there are countless princes and nobles who have captured it. The military headquarters has no longer much interest in these princes and nobles, and they have to waste food to support them if they catch it.
