The knights who had survived, along with their Retainer Knights, began to clean up the battlefield, gathering the armor, longswords, spears, and horses left scattered on the ground, and categorizing the bodies of the fallen.
The corpses of enemy knights would be returned to Marquis Nuta.
As for their own fallen knights, their bodies would be cremated on the spot, and their ashes were to be taken back.
However, most of the wounded on the battlefield were knights—robust knights were not easily killed, even pierced by a Knight's Spear, many had survived. Provided their wounds were not crippling, after a period of rest and healing, they could return to their vigorous selves.
These knights could also be exchanged for a large ransom or be conscripted into their own ranks.
After the Sapphire Duke allowed the conscription of captive knights, such a fierce battle, if won, no longer entailed great losses—the captives and materials gained were enough to offset the casualties.
