Chapter 515: Western Expedition (17) Rest

The night after the first night of the battle was very quiet, and neither the Atila nor the Scandinavian army harassed each other.

The Atila army is cleaning up the battlefield today, finding and pulling those who can still be rescued and pulling them to the caster for treatment, and those who see that this is not saved, or are not sure whether they can be saved, or there is no longer any value to be saved, they will directly execute.

The Attila army was collecting the corpses of their dead comrades, and instead of approaching the walls, they collected the corpses that were some distance away from the walls, and most of the equipment on the corpses did not need to be repaired before they could be used in new battles.

Of course, the collection of those fresh corpses is also to prevent the gathering of strong negative energy aura from producing some undead, although those newborn undead have no combat power, but if they appear, it is still a very troublesome thing.

The gathering of the undead will also cause the negative energy to gather, and when the negative energy gathers to a certain extent, the living will be hurt when they stand inside, and at that time, the Atila army will have to pay more if they want to break through the city.

However, if death appears here, it's a different matter, the ability to die is related to negative energy, and the more negative energy there is, the greater the increase in his ability, just like the Thunderbird, when the clouds are thick, the ability will be greatly improved.

Well, these corpses are also the best spell materials for the plague, and a certain degree of spawning can make these corpses become the source of the plague, and it doesn't matter if the Scandinavians burn and destroy the corpses on the battlefield, as long as these corpses that have produced the plague are sent into Upland City, the plague will naturally disperse.

If the [Corpse Explosion Technique] with a delayed burst is released on these corpses, then just thinking about how much power will be increased, it is a double attack of explosion and plague.

The Atila army did not attack at night, and the Scandinavians would not do anything more about night attacks, and their losses during the day today were fine, but the blow to morale, physical exertion, and mental fatigue made them just want to leave everything behind and get a good night's sleep.

Except for leaving the necessary personnel to guard and defend, and letting the dwarves work overtime to repair the damaged equipment and repair the broken city walls, the others, including the elves, fell asleep.

In addition to the two protagonists on the battlefield, the third person who arrived here, Alice and her army of ice centaurs are nowhere to be seen.

That's for sure, when she saw that Attila's army began to retreat, she took control of the ice centaur army and left the battlefield, don't think that these ice centaurs have no enemies on the plains, and the dragons flying in the sky can easily turn them into a pile of ice chips.

In addition, the centaur army in Attila's army was not inferior to these ice centaurs in terms of combat effectiveness, and even if the same tactics were used, Alice believed that the centaurs under her control would most likely be wiped out.

This is not a tactical aspect that can be brought closer, and Alice's control of an army alone has all kinds of limitations and flaws anyway, especially in terms of flexibility.

If she controls the phalanx tactics like the Rhino Man, then she only needs mechanical movements, and no other complicated operations are required.

However, the Ice Centaur uses this kind of flexibility, and it is difficult for her to be able to fight flexibly, such as making each of these centaurs make different movements, make different behaviors, respond to different situations, and adopt different response methods.

Looking at the departure of these ice centaurs, the Atila army did not pursue, not unwillingly, not impossible, there are still many jackals and centaurs within their army who have not participated in today's battle, and have retained their physical strength to carry out the pursuit.

However, because they already knew who the people were, and they also knew that sending these troops in pursuit would only give Alice a chance to break through, and there would be no point in doing so, and they would not achieve anything of value.

By the time Alice took control of the Ice Centaurs to the frozen Baltic Sea ice, the Receivers had already appeared, and the caster's apprentices, who had undergone simple training, took over the control of the Ice Centaurs and controlled them out of Scandinavia.

Now such a cruel battlefield that will surely turn into a flesh mill and engulf countless lives is not suitable for these apprentices who are still practicing spellcasters and cannot even release a qualified magic independently.

These people are all people with spellcaster talent that Alice finally found in the territory, and the materials, manpower and material resources spent during the period, as well as the rewards that may be brought to Alice in the future, cannot be lost on this battlefield that has nothing to do with the Baltic Empire before they grow up.

Similarly, today's assault on the White Bears who controlled the Ice Centaur against the Phalanx tactic gave Alice a lot of shortcomings about this tactic and gave her a lot of inspiration to make changes.

And imitating the tactics of the Mongols of another crystal wall system also made Alice find some methods, believing that as long as a period of research and testing, the tactics of the Mongols will be resurrected again in this distant crystal wall system.

At that time, it is not known whether this tactic will still give the army that uses it the name of the scourge that the enemy fears, just like their master.

The ice centaur has been unable to intervene in the next battle, this is a matter of combat effectiveness, and the reason why the enemy took the defense today and did not attack and pursue is also taken by Alice who is hiding behind the scenes.

Obviously, the Attila army did not want to involve the Baltic Empire in this battle on the first day of the battle, although many of them did not have such a thing as IQ in their brains, but the thinking of several knights was still very clear, knowing that fighting on two sides, and fighting with two powerful forces called the empire at the same time, even if the Attella Empire's army was very powerful, it was useless.

After setting up the ice centaurs (no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, if you can, don't lose it - Alice speaks), Alice returns to Upland City.

For Alice, who is proficient in magic, the guards set up in Upland City, whether it is patrols or all kinds of guard magic arranged in the air, are not a problem.

Besides, she can wear an artifact on her body, as long as it is not deliberately exposed, such as staring at someone without taking her eyes off, then if you want to find her, you can only rely on the so-called feeling.

Things that are completely unreliable, have no scientific basis, and are difficult to explain with magic are sometimes very magical, and have ruined Alice's plans more than once.

It is difficult to connect the current city of Upplam with the prosperous and wealthy city of the past, and even the Yeats could not imagine that the current ruins were their royal city, the first city in Scandinavia during the Beowulf period.

Littered with scorched black ruins, half-collapsed buildings that were barely covered by snow, even after a period of Scandinavian repairs, it would take a long time to get back to what it was before the fire.

Besides, the Scandinavians didn't want to restore the city, a city that symbolized Beowulf's exploits, and many even doubted that if it weren't for the invasion of the Attila Army now, the warriors would need to be inspired by Beowulf's two defeats of the Attila Army, and even the name Beowulf would not be allowed to be mentioned.

When written records exist only in libraries, when oral deeds become legends, when time passes slowly, people's memories of Beowulf will gradually fade away.

It was no longer the paved roads with stone slabs that were trodden underneath, perhaps because of the heat brought by the flames, and the stone slabs were burned to rubble, and after being trampled by people, they had become dusty gravel roads.

Among the surrounding ruins, there were some tall tents, which they looked chaotic in the middle of the ruins, but they were able to use the ruins, the towering ruins, to withstand the blowing of the blizzard, and let them save as much firewood as possible.

Firewood is an indispensable thing for heating in winter, and without firewood, without the heat brought by firewood to ignite the flame, even the most elite berserkers will not be able to hold on for too long.

There are tens of thousands of warriors in the city, and the things they consume every day, such as food, firewood, and other necessities of life, are completely astronomical.

When fighting, if you can't replenish food enough, if you can't drink enough water, then no matter how strong a warrior is, they will not be able to exert their combat effectiveness.

In this way, the piles of materials in the city, which seem to be very large, do not seem to be so much, and they are consumed every day.

Alice had come to find Siegmund and meet him, hoping to get some information from him, about Sigonay, about the entire Scandinavian Empire.

Although she didn't know where Siegmund lived, and it was not convenient to use magic to find it, she was only in the middle of the city, in the palace that had been rebuilt to a certain extent.

She speculated according to the character of the Scandinavians, and with their flamboyant character, the higher the status, the better the place to live, the best food, the best weapons, and the most luxurious house.

And in Upland City, which has been reduced to ruins and has not been rebuilt much, there is no doubt that the small building in the middle that looks relatively good is the most luxurious.

As the road deepened, Alice also affirmed her thoughts more and more, there were more and more warriors on both sides of the road, their mental state, and the weapons they held were getting better and better, according to previous information, such a situation would only occur when they were close to some key places.

In the back, Alice even spotted some mice hiding in the shadows, birds under the eaves, and wild dogs in the alleys, which looked like ordinary animals, but from their flexible eyes, they knew that they were related to the druids.

Either the druids were transformed, or they had followed the druids for a long time, and had detached themselves from their animal nature and had human animal companions, and in a way, these things were not much different from intelligent life.

Alice was hidden in her cloak, and she had performed a magic spell to remove smell and heat, and her feet looked like she was stepping on a gravel path, but in fact she was floating, a centimeter or two above the ground.

Although those little animals are shrewd, there is no way to find Alice's trace in such a situation, when they can't see, smell, or hear.

Unimpeded, the defense that Siegmund had arranged was like this in Alice's eyes, it didn't take much effort, with the magic and the artifact that had been released on her body a long time ago, she easily walked to where Sigmund was.

When she was about three hundred meters closer, Alice felt the kind of fluctuations that only legendary creatures could see coming from inside the building.

Here, it's not just the sentry posts hiding in the shadows, the elves are holding bows and arrows on the clock tower, looking down with sharp eyes.

The traps made by the dwarves were hidden beneath the ground, and the ground that looked so normal that even a warrior like Siegmund would not please if he stepped on it without paying attention.

Of course, these two races are still outsiders, and it is impossible for Sigmund to put his own safety in their hands, and the real last line of defense is the Berserkers from Scandinavia, or the Berserkers from the Goths.

They were all fanatical admirers of Siegel, and it wasn't much of a problem to even call them a deity-believer.

In addition to their mission to spy on Sigmund, they also have the task of protecting him, and Sigmund cannot die until they die...... Even if he is going to die, he must complete Siegel's war plan, severely damage the Attila army to a certain extent, buy time for the later empire, and pave the way for the future plan of the empire.
