There is no hope for this war

There is absolutely no chance of victory in this war

This war is so terrible that I don't want to continue to stay in such a dangerous place

Walking in the camp for the wounded, the figures reflected in the eyes, whether they were the lightly wounded sitting on the ground on both sides of the passage, or the seriously wounded lying on the bed, bound by thick bandages and fixed by ropes, all told such thoughts.

Silence, or silence

Panic, panic, panic

Although they managed to save their lives from the battlefield, these people, who could no longer be called warriors, had lost the possibility of continuing to fight.

No, let alone let them pick up their swords and fight against the Atila army, even if they were to go to the city walls and do some simple work, it would be very difficult, and it could even be compared to people who had lost the ability to be the basic labor force and had no capacity for any behavior.

The Atila army has not yet used their true strength, but just the lightning strike of the Thunderbird has made these warriors who witnessed the death of their companions around them in an instant, turning into charred black corpses that cannot communicate or move, and have lost the most basic things of warriors.

Now, maybe they once fell into a state of fear when they fought with powerful prey in the forest, but then and now it is different, close companions are by their side, one second they are still encouraging each other, and the next second they are charred, and the impact of such a huge contrast can easily break a person's spirit.

These people's spirits are already in a state of collapse or semi-collapse, let alone let them continue to fight as warriors, and even basic human actions will become very difficult to complete some simple tasks, and even to take care of themselves.

But even so, for this war, they have become a burden, although they still have a clear consciousness, but they have no way to fight, they can't do simple work, they need to be taken care of by others, and the consumption of materials may be a little more than normal.

Siegmund sighed imperceptibly, if you want to get to the bottom of it, the culprit of all this should be himself, it is precisely because of his incompetence and his short-sightedness that these warriors appear here, and their spirits are in a state of collapse or semi-collapse.

Knowing the strength of the Atila army, knowing that in his army, not all the people have experienced brutal wars, many people in the army have only fought with beasts in the forest or unorganized gnolls, centaurs and the like, even if they have been trained for a certain period of time before, they are still recruits when they come to this battlefield, so they can adapt to it at once, and it is still too difficult to think about it.

However, even those warriors who have been through a hundred battles, who have survived many brutal battles, who have faced a strong enemy like Attila, and who have swept through most of the northern continent and are invincible, no one can pat their chests and guarantee that they can survive such an attack intact.

What Beowulf couldn't do, what Alice couldn't do, Siegmund couldn't do either, so it didn't make sense at all to attribute the cause to him.

Siegmund is not a god, even the gods can't solve all the problems, and they are still in the long river of fate and can't break free, so when facing the siege of the Attila army, which is far stronger than their own, it is only this level is already considered very good.

Sighing again, Siegmund left the place of despair and oppression, and he continued to walk deeper inside, where the screams were a sign of what was going on inside.

At this moment he lost the courage to walk two steps and enter the inner room, and he was afraid to see with his eyes what was happening in the house, even if he could imagine what was happening inside simply by listening to the sounds.

Are the druids treating the seriously wounded? are they using healing, herbs, and magic to help the seriously wounded recover, to help them take up arms again and stand on the battlefield against the enemy, and are they doing their part in this battle, this battle for their homeland?

I'm afraid that what happened inside was not such a touching thing, because the screams that came out of it were not the sounds of pain, but the screams that people only made when they were facing death.

Why do you say that? Is it possible to make such a judgment based on a wealth of experience?

Or is it possible to make such a judgment from such a voice if you are a little more careful, if you are not stupid?

The answer is the latter, if it is because of the screams of pain and pain at the time of treatment, it must be intermittent but continuous, like those voices that are giving birth to newborns, but from the depths of the house are very short sounds, as if the shouts are halfway contained by life.

It was indeed contained, contained by something called death, there was no possibility, and there was no hope of making the same sound again, and the reason why this situation occurred was due to Siggmund's order, which is why Siegmund refused to enter this house, changed his original intention of coming here, and the fear appeared in his heart.

Killing a soldier who has no hope of being cured, or killing a soldier who costs too much to be hopefully saved, seems to be a very reasonable thing that must be done in order to alleviate the pain of the warrior.

This is definitely not an order that the once pure Prince Barusenger would have given such a cruel, impersonal, and rightful order.

But it was an order that a commander had to give, not for justice, not for anything else, but because it would increase the likelihood of victory, even if the odds of survival were as low as the odds of a human being being able to survive without drinking water.

In such a battlefield, the worthless people should be discarded, and continuing to remain will only reduce the value of the remaining people who have value, and it is very likely that the war will be lost.

Killing the worthless seriously injured is also based on this simple and understandable truth, think about it, what would happen if these seriously injured people were left behind?

For them, it is indispensable to be in pain and tortured by injuries all the time, and at that time, they will definitely have similar "why don't you die heroically on the battlefield" [hurry up and let me die, don't torture me like this] [don't continue to let me suffer such pain].

Of course, as long as it is a human being, no, as long as it has wisdom, no matter how high or low the level of wisdom is, when it is possible to survive, in order to survive, there will be similar thoughts of "I can still salvage", "I still have unfinished business", "I still need to meet people".

But for the entire legion, or for the entire Scandinavian Empire, the thoughts and wishes of the individual are irrelevant, unless the so-called individual can go to the same level as Siegel and use his personal will to dominate the entire empire, and to become the will of the whole empire.

If they continue to survive, these seriously injured will continue to consume the materials in the city, whether it is food, or those precious herbs, or even more precious magic materials necessary for the caster to cast spells, it is predictable.

For the rest of the warriors, the sight of these seriously wounded people reverberated in their ears, and if they continued, they might make the mentally resilient warriors lose the possibility of continuing to fight.

Siegmund shook his head, he felt his hand tremble, it was a pair of very clean white hands, if it weren't for the man named Siegmund at first glance, he would only think that only those arrogant nobles would have such white and beautiful hands.

But it was this very pair of hands, who soon signed with a pen a document agreeing to kill the seriously wounded, and even if they did not, Siegmund felt that the souls of the warriors, who had died not heroically on the battlefield, but in their hospital beds, at the hands of their own men, were wailing over them.

The time to sigh was only a few seconds, and Siegmund quickly adjusted his emotions, buried these negative things in his heart, and left the wounded soldier with his head held high.

Above the streets, on the empty streets, there are occasional patrols with strong spirits, and in such cold weather, no one wants to do such a boring and impersonal job.

But there is no way, when fighting a war, this is something that cannot be overlooked, war is such a thing, not only the enemy's factors need to be considered, but also the situation of one's own army needs to be taken into account, which is also something that a qualified commander must do.

There have been too many examples of how armies that have not managed their internal affairs well and have not implemented draconian measures in their own armies have often failed outside the frontal battlefield.

Whether the enemy lurks in the city, ignites the supplies and grain placed in the warehouse, and ends the war with a grand feast of flames, proclaiming the victory of Attila.

Or the disgruntled ones who hide in the army, taking advantage of the undefended opportunity to charge where Zygmund is, regardless of whether they succeed in the end, the disaster will be an avalanche.

From this point of view, it is also necessary to draw some loyal people from among the soldiers to serve as guards and patrol troops to regulate the operation of the entire army.

The blizzard still doesn't stop, and it's not a good situation for Siegmund and the people in Upplan.

Now that I think about the battle that took place during the day today, the magic that those spellcasters used to strengthen the blizzard was a very stupid thing to do anyway.

The large amount of snow slows down the enemy's advance for a short period of time, but if analyzed from another angle, it can be the best tool for the enemy to use.

Especially after the Scandinavians implemented the method of clearing the wilderness in Upland, the appearance of this snow cover was also a disguised relief for the Atila army.

The high temperature can turn the snow into edible water, which does not require much consideration such as whether there is dirt in it, and the snow can also be used to build something useful for war as long as it is processed with tools.

For example, it can be used as a material to build huts against cold and snow, or to make ammunition for throwing stones at jackals instead of stone projectiles, or to make ladders made of snow and ice from compacted snow.

In addition, the low temperature environment also caused the three moats to not play their role at all, and the traps that could have killed hundreds or thousands of people became decorations that did not work at all.

Moreover, the impact of the low temperature environment on both sides is also different, in the Atila army, no matter which army has a certain resistance to the cold, on the other hand, the Scandinavians, in order to keep warm, they need thick sweaters, firewood to light bonfires, and buildings to protect against the wind and snow, and to resist the low temperature.

The cold environment will exacerbate the loss of materials on the human side, and if the battle is too long, and if it falls into a protracted war, it is really impossible for humans and Scandinavians to be in a bad state, even if Siegmund has just received the support of Alice and the assistance of the Baltic Empire...... But that sneaky aid, for this war of magnitude, especially when there is a real fierce fighting, is only a drop in the bucket when the official opening show is carried out.

However, there is no good way to change this situation, and it can be said that this non-stop blizzard has become something that is difficult to solve, such as established facts and problems left over from history.

After the release of magic is successful, especially after it is fully formed and has an impact on the environment, it is not a matter of simply dissolving the magic with a few words.

It's like a non-stop blizzard like this, in such an environment, in an environment that can increase the power and duration of the magic of [Blizzard], there is no way to do it with magic of the same rank, and it must be lifted with more powerful magic.

In that case, it is necessary to consider whether the price is worth it, and whether the enemy will take other actions while he is ready to do so.

What happened during the day today was the best lesson learned, although those fireballs did repel a wave of attacks from the gnolls, allowing the warriors on the walls to avoid the terrible situation of a brutal white-knuckle battle on the first day.

did not fall into a bad white-knuckle battle, but it led to the casters of the Attila army calmly preparing legendary magic, which led to many strong men of the Attila army to obtain information about Siegmund's hole cards.
